Frank Zappa : the Nordic stories

Frank Zappa and his Mothers of Invention played more than 70 times in Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Norway. This book is a collection of stories, interviews and anecdotes, accompanied by more than 250 up to now unpublished photos from the Mothers’ first visit to Europe in 1967 right up to Frank’s last ever tour in 1988. For hardcore fans, you will also find a lot of rare memorabilia, as the book contains set lists, ticket stubs, posters and much more. Here, the entire Nordic region is represented, each country in its own chapter. Given that Frank Zappa played more in concert halls and at festivals around the Nordics than in the rest of the world, this book is not only relevant for an older audience but also an excellent starting point for the younger fan. The book is thus aimed at giving those who never got the chance to experience Zappa’s live performances an overview of these historic visits. Authors: Erland Bekkelund (Norway), Matti Laipio (Finland), Cege Berglund (Sweden), Ole Lysgaard & Søren Gaden (Denmark).
