Product Details

Zappa's annual Halloween residency at the New York Palladium was one of rock's great recurring rituals, drawing devoted fans who treated the shows like a holiday of their own. The 1981 edition came near the end of his major touring years, with a band deep in its powers and a setlist that ranged across his catalog with the kind of loose authority that only comes from a working road unit that's truly locked in. Seventy-eight previously unheard performances make this the most substantial document yet of those legendary October nights.


Halloween 81 Costume Box Set - Live At The Palladium, New York City, recorded on October 31, 1981 (two shows) and November 1, 1981 (1 show), is the next of the iconic Frank Zappa Halloween boxset concerts. The box consists of 6 CDs containing 3 complete concerts featuring all tracks newly mixed from the original multi-track tapes shocking fans with 78 unreleased live tracks. Fans will be treated to a Count Frankula mask along with a red & black cape as well. This king-size offering also showcases a 40-page booklet with photos including new liner notes by touring band member Robert Martin, Vaultmeister Joe Travers and fan-in-attendance Gary Titone.
