A tragically ill Frank Zappa talks about Captain Beefheart

With all due respect to the great musician, it seems in this interview in which he talks about his and Beefheart's childhood, he's put on a couple of pounds from what appears to be side effects from prostate cancer treatment as well as appearing weaker which really breaks my heart. Does anybody know the exact date of this interview? I would presume it was sometime in '93/'92. (The interview itself is an excerpt of a Captain Beefheart Documentary which was broadcast in 1994 featuring Zappa post humorously.

@tallswede80 I don't know much about him. But when I was a kid (early Seventies) my brother played a record on which the singer was whinnying like a horse. I think that was Beefheart

This interview was for the BBC's Arts prog 'The Late Show' and I first saw it in early 1993, believe the prog was aired about three times in 1993 with slight re-edits. I will be posting the whole 1 hour prog very soon.

@ryreinhardt In technical skill Lenny Breau may be great but naming some obscure-but-very-talented musician doesn't make him the best. Those musicians appealed to different people by playing completely different music. That's like saying Slipknot is better than the Beach Boys because the Beach Boys's drummer couldn't play double bass like Joey Jordison can. "The best" is opinion and everyones is different - no one can say who is definitely the best no matter who they are or what they do.
