You Can't Do That on Stage Anymore, Vol. 1 is a double disc live album by Frank Zappa. It was released in 1988 (see 1988 in music) under the label Rykodisc. It was the beginning of a series of six double CDs Zappa assembled of live performances throughout his career.

Contents

Shortly before the CD release, Zappa released You Can't Do That on Stage Anymore, Sampler, a double LP with almost identical artwork to the Vol. 1 CD, the only difference being the word "Sampler" in place of "Vol. 1", and featuring select tracks from the series. [2] The liner notes to the second volume included some corrections to the date information of the first volume that Zappa received from fans, and further corrections and additions have come since then using available recordings.
