I don't know if it was the same tour, but seems around the same time I saw him in N.O., may have been on Tulane campus...
He played the Saenger Theater a few times around then. I saw the Joe's Garage tour and the Live In NY tour there.

Ray Collins Dead: Original Mothers Of Invention Singer Dies At Age 75
CLAREMONT, Calif. — Ray Collins, who invited guitarist Frank Zappa to join the band that eventually became the Mothers of Invention, has died at age 75.
Collins' friend Patrick Brayer tells the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin that the musician from Claremont, Calif., died Monday, five days after a heart attack.
Collins brought Zappa to R&B cover band the Soul Giants in 1964. By 1966, they had become the Mothers of Invention, releasing their first album, "Freak Out," on Verve Records.
Collins sang on three albums, then left the Mothers, saying their comedic approach to music didn't suit him.
He pursued little music afterward and spent his last years living in a van, but was a well-known character and conversationalist on the streets of Claremont, a college town east of Los Angeles.
