The Van Halen brothers,  this image was taken during the David Lee Roth era in Kansas City, Kansas. They were one of the first bands to use contract riders to specify a "wish list", Van Halen had extensive requirements including power availability and stage construction details. The band's demands were not limited to technical issues; their now-infamous rider specified that a bowl of M&M candies, with all of the brown M&M's removed, was to be placed in their dressing room.  This was done to test whether the promoter actually read the contract, as it contained other requirements involving legitimate safety concerns.

 Zappa was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995. There, it was written that "Frank Zappa was rock and roll's sharpest musical mind and most astute social critic. He was the most prolific composer of his age, and he bridged genres—rock, jazz, classical, avant-garde and even novelty music—with masterful ease".
