It is entirely possible that the memories from 40 years ago are "mixed" and I 
can't swear it was BHJ (though it did look like who I later learned was 
BHJ)...but it WAS a BIG black guy hovering near Frank as we walked up to 
him...maybe just some security dude.

If this hasn't been mentioned yet, this is not a Halloween show. Date is 
10/11/71.
I was at this show...front row.
A couple of "foggy" memories...
My buddy and I brought along a Varese lp to present to Frank. At the start of 
the show we walked the 10 feet or so to the stage (observing Bald Headed John 
emerge from the shadows towards Frank and us)and handed Frank the disc. I seem 
to recall him reading the cover and saying "Thanks for the album." On one of 
these cd's, at the start of the show (Auspicious Occaision) Frank says "It says 
Uncle Meat. Thanks for this." I don't recall anything about Uncle Meat, but I 
think the "Thanks for this." was directed at my friend and I for the album.
Another memory...
During one of the tunes, Mark was singing off key and I visibly cringed in my 
seat. Mark noticed this and looked at me and mimicked my expression. I made a 
different silly face and he responded in kind. This went on for a few more 
silly faces when I just cracked up and it stopped. He continued performing the 
whole time without missing a beat...now singing in key.
I also recall a good portion of the audience Mudsharking up and down the aisles 
of Carnegie Hall.

Nice recollections.
But are you sure that you didn't mix memories from two different concerts?
Because my understanding is that John Smothers was hired by Zappa
only after the Rainbow Theatre incident, in December 10th, 1971.

Thanks.
