So my fan-boy claim to fame was realized at Show 2 on the evening of December 10, 1973, as memorialized at the beginning of Dickie's Such an Asshole, from The Roxy Performances beginning at around 2:48, where you can hear me yell out a request for Dwarf Nebula -- and Frank's response up to around 3:25 ...

As Zappa explains, Dwarf Nebula is actually a piece of electronic music -- but the little processional march which precedes it is a delightfully little ditty which this '73 band could easily have handled.

So my request was really for the Dwarf Nebula Processional March!
