 From [[Frank Zappa - A Visual Documentary]] by [[Barry Miles]]:
-December '71 - [[Wikipedia:Montreux Casino|The Casino, Montreux]], Switzerland. In the middle of [[Don Preston]]'s synthesizer solo on "[[King Kong]]" the building caught fire. Zappa calmed the crowd of 3,000 which was well over capacity. The owners had chained shut the exit doors because there were people still trying to get in so one of the roadies smashed a large plate glass window to enable the audience to escape. The auditorium filled with black smoke and shortly after the band had escped through the backstage tunnel, the heating system exploded blowing several people through the window. No-one was killed. The building was gutted and Zappa lost all of his equipment with ten tour dates to go.

 From [[Frank Zappa - A Visual Documentary]] by [[Barry Miles]], recalling the last show (December 10th):
-The Rainbow Theatre, London. The band played the first show, and returned to play an encore. Since they were in England, Frank chose to play The Beatles' "I Want To Hold Your Hand". A member of the audience ran up the side steps of the stage and pushed Zappa off the stage, ten feet into the orchestra pit, knocking him unconscious and breaking his leg. Members of the audience immediately seized the man, [[Trevor Charles Howell]], as he tried to get away. Zappa's roadies then taught him a few manners.

 Chaotic scenes ensued outside the Rainbow where the audience for the second concert were joined on the street by the audience from the first. Wild rumours that Frank had been killed flashed through the massive crowd, and for upwards of an hour no-one knew what was happening. Eventually the crowd dispersed, most of them none the wiser about the evening's dramatic events.
