The Mothers 1971 Disc 8
Additionally, the box set presents the full Rainbow Theatre concert in London, England on December 10, 1971 when a "fan" attacked Zappa following the band's performance of The Beatles' "I Want to Hold Your Hand." The band had been playing that night with rented equipment, due to the tragic fire that engulfed the Montreux Casino on December 4 (and their instruments with it). Thankfully, Zappa and the Mothers emerged relatively unscathed, but more tragedy followed at the Rainbow less than one week later.
Zappa was violently pushed from the stage into the orchestra pit 12 feet below. A panic broke out on the premises while he was left with serious injuries. He wrote in his 1989 memoir, "My head was over on my shoulder and my neck was bent like it was broken. I had a gash in my chin, a hole in the back of my head, a broken rib and a fractured leg. One arm was paralyzed." Zappa spent most of the following year in a wheelchair and a leg brace; needing to continue working, the Mothers disbanded and pursued other musical avenues. The box set is rounded out with the original single version of Zappa's rock-and-roll pastiche "Tears Began to Fall" b/w the non-LP flipside, "Junier Mintz Boogie," plus a radio spot and outtakes. This is the first release to present the official audio of the Rainbow Theatre show complete with its frightening ending. It was thought to have not been recorded but was recently discovered as this box was being curated.
