It was Frank Zappa's greeting to the respectable person as soon as he took the stage at the Madrid Rockódromo. Then, two hours of music, two hours of a lesson in eclecticism, composition, and a lot of irony and acidity. This time, the destination of Zappa's satire was Iberia. Throughout his entire performance he did not stop insulting the first Spanish airline. The reason? The organization's version is that, apparently, Zappa found in Bilbao that there were more passengers than seats on his flight to Madrid, and he had to make the trip by car. Upon arriving, he asked for a change in the order of performance - initially he had to close the night -, claiming that he was tired, and so, every time the lyrics of his songs criticized something, that is, almost always, he closed the phrase with a "like Iberia". The Zappa-Iberia anecdote ran throughout a concert of a high level of quality, both musically and in the provocative aspect; facet that reached its culmination with the group's farewell: all the musicians horning the audience, with both hands! [...] The night had begun, with great punctuality, at 9:30 p.m. At that time, while more than half of the approximately 25,000 spectators who attended were stuck in the usual M30-Extremadura highway traffic jam, Mermelada came on stage. His performance was very similar to what Burning offered, more than three hours later. [...] When Burning began his performance it was already around two in the morning and it was intensely cold in the Casa de Campo. Despite this, more than half of the attendees stayed until the end. La primera actuación en España de Frank Zappa & The Mothers Of Invention fue en Badalona, el 4 de octubre de 1974
