This would be, to the best of my knowledge, the first time Frank Zappa has ever made an appearance on a DVD format. This was ten 49-minute episodes issued together as a five-disc DVD box set, and also in VHS form, both as a box set and individually. The runtime of the entire series is 485 minutes. The performances are taken from many sources such as Detroit's "Swingin' Time", The German "Beat Club", The German "Musik Laden", "The Big T.N.T. Show" etc. The Zappa entry is "Montana", and is included in the "Guitar Heroes" chapter.
TGAORNR was visible here in Germany, too, and Montana is from the Skansen performance, swedish tv 1973 (?). A shortened clip, btw, the guitar solo is missed or truncated. I taped some of the shows and saw the one with Zappa. Wasn't John Sebastian the host?
