The following is a guide to the abbreviations that appear in the Sources field of the Frank Zappa Gig List. The presence of any of these initials does not imply that the source agreed with all details of my entry, merely that they provided some information about the show.
These are fairly extensive lists of FZ concerts.
bl = unpublished list by Norbert Obermanns, with additions by Gerry Fialka, provided by Bill Lantz
fo = unpublished list by Frank Ostlinger
gr = Cosmik
Debris by Greg Russo (Crossfire Publications, 1998)
jn = FZShows by Jon Naurin
kb = The (other) Frank
Zappa Gig List, compiled by Kevin Boynton and Mick Peterson
pb = The Frank Zappa 1988 Tour Project by Pat
Buzby (archived on The Planet Of My Dreams)
rf = Frank Zappa & the Mothers of Invention: A Brief Encounter, Volume 1:
1966-1974 by Ron Fritts (unpublished, 1999)
vd = Frank Zappa: A Visual Documentary by Miles (Omnibus Press, 1993)
These are sources of information about individual concerts. Their importance is by no means minor--they are what makes this list more accurate than previously published lists. I am very grateful to all the individuals listed below. Abbreviations ending in "pc" refer to personal communication, mostly by e-mail. Abbreviations ending in "affz" refer to posts to alt.fan.frank-zappa. Abbreviations ending in "abmz" refer to posts to alt.binaries.mp3.zappa. Abbreviations ending in "ct" refer to Concert Tales at Stu Mark's website. Abbreviations ending in "eb" refer to auctions at eBay. Abbreviations ending in "fl" refer to photographs on Flickr. Abbreviations ending in "zc" refer to posts to the zappa.com forum. Abbreviations ending in "zt" refer to posts to the Zappateers forum.
