Why did FZ have to die before the live Wazoo recordings were released?

He didn't like the music or somethin'?

For purposes of continuing ZFT cash flow.

From http://www.afka.net/Articles/1990-06_Society_Pages.htm:

DEN SIMMS: Are there any compositions from the Grand Wazoo-Waka/Jawaka
period that we haven't heard, that either weren't released on the
albums, or perhaps, weren't played live, or anything from that era,
that's still lurking out there unlistened to by your fans?

FRANK ZAPPA: Actually, when the Grand Wazoo did its tour, I think five
cities, there was some reel-to-reel tape made of that, and there's
some live recordings of that band, but they'll never come out. The
quality of that tape is not that good.

DEN SIMMS: They won't be released because the quality is sub-par?

FRANK ZAPPA: Yeah, it's just, like, they're more like souvenirs than
real recordings.
