[djbeatbox]

the first 17 second was my voicemail message for the longest time. lol

[noodlenate]

@djbeatbox AWESOME IDEA.

[whitedwarf13]

@23Henrich Zappa didn't ever use drugs to create his songs, he used his imagination.

[microdot]

@23Henrich I'm sure you have no real imagination if you think someone needs psychedelics to be psychedelic....

[ggreenwood4]

[hotratslll]

More, need more!!

[SovietTelevision]

I have a slightly different version of this same film on a VHS tape I bought from some guy back in the 90s... it's called "Psychomania" or something. It has this, Soft Machine, old Pink Floyd, and some other pretty weird stuff.

[honestatheist1]

great!

[gordondelma]

Its got a good beat AND you can dance to it!!!

[almishti]

Ahh, Frank. Blowing raspberries in the face of linear narrative structure. And what did they think? Did they buy it?

[IcamolEdgar]

todos locos...

[DrSardonicuss]

This is such a great DVD! Thanks Ed :)

I think there's a lot of the 'Capitol' "Lumpy Gravy" music on it, btw-

which is just great to hear!

[GHOSTWRITERSQUILL1]

I think it's stereotype satyre. Frank's unbiased knowing in all tribes you got same diversity

[patriciareplay]

un truc de ouf . puissant

[BTTVComedyAustin]

FREAK-OUT! fantastic -- so glad to see this. Moremoremore please

[sroche999]

[BradBrassman]

[res070k0]

Happy Mother's Day!!!

[Talerider]

In Honor of Mothers day

[iaincollin]

It just doesn't get any better than this

[mikeuser29]

Freak Out was my first Zappa album. Got it in 1966, I think... saw him in concert only 3 times, all in Fla. and met him at Pirates World in Dania, Fla. when me and my friends knocked on his tour-bus door after the concert. Nice, friendly dude. He and his music are missed.

RIP

[sjk72]

Cool story.

[1dudeman2]

who was zappa drummer on freak out?

[finylvinyl66]

Jimmy Carl Black.

[IExposeMormonism]

I can't find the version of susie creamcheese saying "Ferget it"

[789trebor]

@IExposeMormonism

that version is on the mothers comp MOTHERMANIA. It was out of print but I think it's on cd now.

[IExposeMormonism]

@789trebor Thanks.

[youseeityoudont]

Was Plas Johnston on the sax?

[plasticjesus108]

You shot this?

If so, awesome, If not ???

[KatzenImNebel]

Fantastic !I have no words!

[mickindanny]

I miss Frank every day. Trouble Every Day from Freak Out is always in my head! Also, Peaches en Regalia from Live at the Fillmore East.

[turnbs]

Decades ahead of his time.....RIP Frank..........Pure genious.

[presacanario62]

Saw Frank Zappa in 1981 in Kansas City. Wished I could have seen him with the Mothers. R.I.P., Frank- you were a genius!

[iconoclast911]

This is truly PSYCADELIC

[omeyegod9]

drugs don't have anything to do with creativity. The Beatles, Dylan, and Zappa are all what they are, with or without them.

[hendrixisrockgod]

awesome

[fabrikk60]

Awesome! Beats the hell out of any modern music video for sure.

[puppiefaces]

Thank You for posting! I want to see ' Brown Shoes Don't Make It'. That was our "family's" theme song in my college days.....a million years ago.

[skaterocknroll]

Amazing person. Not to be forgotten. Listen to THAT music!

[mudshark23]

I think I'd rather be the Mayor.

[82149]

Love it....I went to the Garrick on a sunday afternoon in the spring of 67.....no more than 15-20 people in the place...what a show...what a band

[hendrixisrockgod]

i was there to they dressde up as waitors and fed us food they were pretty entertaining

[ClaptonIsGod000]

Frank was all for trippy music, just not drugs. He proved you can be creative, and write "druggy" music, without relying on drugs as a creative source.

"the poodle bites;the poodle chews it." FZ

[russianbeast65]

im suzy creamcheese because ive woren fake i lashees my whole life

[spreadeagle21]

you guys miss the whole point this cd is made for lsd listening...just listen to help im a rock...classic

[JKTube]

NO. Zappa was loudly against drugs.

[benjammin420420]

no musicians who are known for drug use can rival franks creativity or amout of output

[glassbreaker5791]

i wouldn't go quite that far; the beatles and dylan both arguably rival and sometimes surpass zappa's creativity and they both at the time were using plenty of weed and acid. however, whats most impressive is the fact that he did this without any psychedelic inspiration. it has to bring up the question: "if it wasn't acid, what in the world got him to think of this?" that really is true creativity.

[benjammin420420]

what i mean is compare the quantity/quality of the music. Dont get me wrong, I do love both the beatles and dylan (stones, pink floyd, grateful dead, zeppelin, and countless other artists synonymous with drug usage) Frank put out more albums than or any other single artist (or band for that matter) 57 albums in his lifetime, all which he wrote and produced, that is an incredible feat

[benjammin420420]

While other artists were smoking dope, Zappa was creating brilliant music. While others were tripping out, Zappa was writing brilliant music. He is a one man phenominon, drugs or no drugs. He never had a peak, he never burned out, he was great up until his untimely, non-drug related death. I dont know any other musician period who can match that amount of output, or scope of creativity. All im saying is, I think not taking drugs helped him.

[glassbreaker5791]

you definitely have a point. which is of course i guess a drawback of the drugs: inspirational or not, they don't exactly speed things along. i can admit that out of all the artists i listen to, perhaps no one was quite as prolific as zappa, which in itself is a pretty impressive accomplishment.

[odoylerules47]

You're a fucking idiot. It's not surprising in the least bit that Zappa never used drugs. It's not surprising his musical competence and creativity surpassed both The Beatles and Dylan. And it's not surprising you don't think so. It's called intelligence and Frank had a lot.

[wildhorsestudios1421]

Some people just don't need drugs to bring out what is inside of them.

[deadbeatdynamo]

No commercial potential.

[ecologicjill]

Capitalizing on the hippies and making fun of them at the same time.

[ggreenwood4]

@ecologicjill They were ALL HIPPIES! EVEN FRANK! Frank was a GREAT WAR PROTESTING Hippie! R.I.P. Frank! We love you!

[sparksrule]

Zappa ripping the Freak Out! sleeve is quite an iconic piece of imagery

[Knoxoleum]

[boogster123321]

[willyrein]

These Mothers is crazy!

[bwanna23]

I used to listen to these Mothers from the sidewalk outside the Garrick because I was only 16 years old and they wouldn't let me in. They wanted to save my tender mind I quess.

[Shupavin]

[artfiend71]

[mountainguy4949]
