Halloween 77

Halloween 77 is a live album by Frank Zappa, released in October 2017, consisting of six recordings of shows performed in late October 1977 at the Palladium in New York City. Portions of the October 29th, 30th and 31st concerts were previously released on the album Sheik Yerbouti and in the film Baby Snakes, both released in 1979.

It was released as a USB containing 24-bit WAV audio and as a 3-CD box set, containing a total of 158 tracks. The USB box set was designed to resemble a Halloween mask package containing a mask of Zappa's likeness. This format was replicated for the follow-up releases Halloween 73 (2019) and Halloween 81 (2020).
