...
Some Background:
This album was recorded over an 18 month period at Entwistle's own Hammerhead Studios in England, during the mid 80's. As John's liner notes describe, the LP was finished and the record deal nearly sealed, only to be thwarted by the FBI's seizure of the record company.
A modified lineup of the band went out in 1988 on a seven week tour of the US (band #2), but failed to get them a new record deal. Over a year later, the original label was back in business, but by then, The Rock had broken up.
In 1996, John decided to put it out as a limited edition, and followed up with a Tour (band #3).
So far, after sitting in the vaults for well over ten years, this album has seen 3 release versions from 1996 - 1998!

Zak was not a member of any incarnation of The Rock or JEB that toured this material.
The closest thing to a TV appearance of The Rock with
Zak seems to be the John Entwistle "Lifesyles of The Rich and Famous: A Man
WHO Collects" segment from the mid 1980's. In it John's massive and numerous
collections are featured, and there is footage of "the band" in his
studio. The entire segment is only about five minutes long, and the band segment
amounts to mere seconds, but does feature some footage of Zak.
