Baby Snakes premiered in New York City on 21 December 1979. The movie opens with FZ rehearsing with his fellow band members.

Reviews
R. Jäger in Jazzthetik 2/04: "Versehen mit paar nied- lichen Gimmicks - Booklet im Aktendeckel-Design, Zappa- Nase zum Ausschneiden ("It's a honker!"), "Evidence"- Aufkleber - greift bei sehr guten audiovisuellen Be- dingungen schnell die Erkenntnis Raum, dass diese Band eine von Zappas zwei, drei besten war. Wilde Musik von einem wilden Haufen Individualisten und Ausnahme- musikern. Gitarrist Adian Belew schlüpft in US-Army-Damen- Garderobe, Drummer Terry Bozzio spielt u.a. ein exzellent fotografiertes Schlagzeugsolo, Bassmann Patrick O'Hearn dreht Pastorius durch die Mangel, Zappa erzählt merk- würdig hintersinnige Geschichten."The audio samples belong to the article Frank Zappa (1940-1993): Baby Snakes (CD).
