    I just finished watching this excellent and informative video of five Zappa drummers in conversation (Terry Bozzio, Chester Thompson, Ralph Humphreys, Ruth Underwood and Chad Wackerman). Near the one hour mark Chad tells the story of a Zappa gig (he thinks Indiana) where Zappa kept repeatedly indicating for the band to play reggae which went on all night.

    Does anyone actually know which show this was?

    There's a thread about this topic at the Zappateers site.

    Chad said the show was in Indiana. We have recordings of the three shows Chad played with FZ in Indiana (1981 11 22 Bloomington and two shows on 1984 08 22 Indianapolis) and none are all reggae, nor are any other circulating shows with Chad. It's possible he was thinking of another, non circulating show in a different state. The 1981 11 17 show has unique reggae versions of some songs (e.g. Whipping Post), and we have a few missing shows from late November and early December 81 so it could be somewhere around then.
