[ePhilosopher9]

Took me five months to realize there was a part two.

Life is even greater now!

[monkeybutler20]

it gets boring at 9:26

[USLegion]

@monkeybutler20

LOL :D

[blackened2008]

@monkeybutler20 here's a solution : watch from 0:00 and not here..on the first video ;)

[USLegion]

One of the saddest and most beautiful guitar solos I have ever heard in my half-century plus

Simply beautiful :"")

[USLegion]

I've listened to both parts of this for the first time in months and I still weep now as I did when I first it.

Glorious in every respect.

[MrUndersolo]

@USLegion I just read the biography of Zappa by Barry Miles and he mentions how audiences would cry during and after he played certain solos.

Not surprising...

[USLegion]

@MrUndersolo

I can very well believe it. I myself have shed more than one tear at his concerts. The most tearjerking was his solo on Outside Now. Unbelievable talent.

[USLegion]

@MrUndersolo

Actually I just felt myself welling up aat around 4.06 when Frank just 'goes into one'! :)

[rastaclint]

I was at this concert I'll never forget it I was home on leave from the Air Force and I had a choice to see Aerosmith or Zappa I've never seen Aerosmith to this day.Zappa was so loud and clean, his playing was immaculate that night as the audio here tells.I was so glad to have found this.Rasta Clint

[gergsar]

"loud and clean"... so true!

[disnet]

jawbreaking

[TheBrilliantGeniuses]

@disnet been clenching

[bmuhamad]

Cont' d Frank Zappa along w/ Sly Stone( The Original Family Stone), Are the some of the most creative musicians of the 20th and maybe the 21st century.... lest I forget Stockhausen, and Stravinsky.

[RFranklinCarter]

I wish I knew where to get this recording on audio CD. It's amazing.

[Lapharro]

frank zappa always and will be missed. thanx for posting this song...black napkins is wat my wedding song will be.

[asdffdsa9]

hahaha that's a pretty gnarly wedding song, but good to ya

[GaryNull]

may I have this dance?

[JetS3tRadio]

i gusse,, just dont touch my ass

[phoenixinobsidian]

This has to be the most WONDERFUL version of this song I have ever heard!!

Thank you for posting it...it has made me weep for the loss of the world's greatest guitarist.

[spudcustardx1]

I just think this is just new clasical music, noodling from the tips of his fingers.

spud custard

[marcvdm1111]

Never heard this version of napkins... must be the best around. Simply beautiful and breathtaking

[shehabammar]

I wish everybody knew about Zappa. He is honestly one of the greatest musical composers of all time. If only he was still alive. But I don't think people today would appreciate Zappa. So maybe it is better that he died in a generation where he was still beloved through out the world.

[FrankieZBongs]

I'm sorry, but i have to say its never better that he died when and how he did. Hes still appreciated by the people that appreciated him back then, so to say he wouldn't be today i think is a bit askew. I cant even imagine the type of awe-inspiring music he could have put out in the past 16 years, maybe music could have been completely different if he hadn't died when he had.

[pookeeeee]

Top Shelf!

[zamwiz]

barcelona ,wein and baby snakes.. and now just now this,,,,, genius of alltimesandspace... surreallisticmusic...gorgeous melody.....frank...

[Zircoun]

This Napkins is a monster! Haven't heard yet any bootlegs from this period but this sounds so great! Thanks!

[AboveEarth]

defiantly one of the best versions of black napkins I've heard. brilliant stuff

[jackdelawack]

thanks for posting it's one of the best versions I have heard......

[bose8910]

This is the longest version of Black Napkins i've ever heard - f**king brilliant. And brilliant solo from Eddie Jobson - imo better then Ponty. What is the name of this bootleg?

[bose8910]

Thanks very much for letting me know - i'll definitely try to search this one out.

[openswimmer]

I should have listened to part 2 before asking you for the members of the band, sh1nl1quid... Thanks for posting this - it´s a wonderful version. I am also hooked on the `88Barcelona one - which I consider the most mature and richest one of all. Cheers.

[jenben3]

What needs to happen for me to get a cd copy of this?

[Coyotespirit4]

@bose8910 I heard this one version of black napkins that was 24 mins long but I cant remember were i heard it

[zzzxxyy]

Both parts are great! I wish YouTube had no time limit so we can hear this in its entirety!

[hamstermaniacgirl]

Massive thanks for putting this here, napkins happens to be my all time favorite track.... so cool to hear this, thanks again m8 ;)

[ReubenFTourettes]

Ahh, I do miss my old '76 bootlegs. Great effect Jobson has on his violin; almost sounds like a synthesizer. Bianca had left the band by this point right?
