The source material for dates and setlists by and large comes from
FZShows. I relied heavily on
The Planet Of My Dreams for validation and also used that data for the
band lineups and instrumentation for the various bands. Information Is Not Knowledge was used
extensively for validating song titles and this is an invaluable resource for any Zappa-related project!
I've named this site "ZappaBASE 2.0". Some of you might remember the original Zappabase. It was a standalone program you installed on your PC that contained a
database with the most current setlists and dates at that time. I used the XML from that program as a starting point for song titles and dates.
With all the new information and setlists that were discovered since that program's release, that data became obsolete. So we are now experiencing ZappaBASE 2.0!
All songs, dates, and band members are cross-referenced in the database so you can really go down the proverbial rabbit hole in your quest to find the best
version of No No Cherry...
Invariably with a dataset this large, mistakes creep in. Although I used as much automation as I could to avoid human error, it is inevitable that something
is wrong here. Please let me know.
And finally, thank you to my gracious hosts at zappateers.com. Without whom, none of this would be possible!
