Love this tongue-in-cheek look at the commercialization of Americas 200th Anniversary in 1976. This I believe is when Bozzio first worked with Zappa, I read that Zappa wanted to give Beefheart a killer band to showcase his work but they just couldn't get along, too bad because this tour had some killer songs. Peter Gabriel left Genesis and with Phil Collins realizing he can't sing and drum all the songs they looked for a drummer and hired Chester Thompson, Zappa then hired Bozzio to fill that void nicely, with Thompsons drums still on Cucamonga and 200 Years Old.
