Directed by Tony Palmer, Frank Zappa. With Mark Volman, Howard Kaylan, Ian Underwood, Aynsley Dunbar. "Touring makes you crazy", Frank Zappa says, explaining that the idea for this movie came to him while the Mothers of Invention were touring. The story, interspersed with performances by the Mothers and the Royal Symphony Orchestra, is a tale of life on the road. The band members' main concerns are the search for groupies and the desire to get paid.
