Frank Zappa - Outside Now (live in Paris, 1980)

[TheComedian1992]

this is the kind of a song that if you hate.........well as walter said in the big lebowski "your out of your element"

[BetterTasteThanU]

I didnt know Frank was black

[DxMarillion]

@BetterTasteThanU

he isnt :'D

[1800grustlin]

@BetterTasteThanU better be joking ya dingus

[musicisthebestF]

I think very Few guitarists have this wide and amazing understanding for the guitar

I mean that understanding for the guitar that Frank had

feeling for Tone and sound he was a very tasteful player i love his versions of Black Napkins and every Inca Roads Solo Frank played

The only guitarist i know that have this deep understanding for the Instrument

are Paul Gilbert & Richie Kotzen & Andy Timmons

[chucil]

This, my friends, is beautiful...

[kmorgan228]

no dislikes......damn right

[baficchio]

only one word.Genius

[lusiferotoma]

Ike 's voice here is like drugs. You can listen to it for hours. makes you fly.

[Zappafan1980]

@YourArf

Dear Mr. Your Arf :)

i gotto say you have the Best and most complete collection of Frank Zappa videos on youtube

I real Big thanks to you to give a young newcomer Fan the chance to see Frank

Live

I was born 1 year after this video was shot : )

I heard Frank was ill that day so they just played for 39 minutes or something

[DxMarillion]

@Zappafan1980

this concert was about 2 hours

[achemachew]

Most of my CD collection is Frank Zappa. I could only find "Joe's Garage" at a used Cd and other used media.

Not one of my Zappa CDs have a scratch, including the used CD.

Reent toont teen toont tee toot nee noo neenoonee

[NaturalRythms]

Aparte de lo complejo musical, es de resaltar el tremendo sentido del humor zappiano...

[Rocko3837]

woow the memories *__* i love this song...frank was really amazing artist and musician...btw i love ike's voice

[derglatzman]

Beauty is rare thing

Just like Miles I love these porn rockers madly

[MrRick0112]

Beautiful music and great song......

[alilacherruse]

Happy Birthday Frank... I'm a day late but I've been carrying your

spirit with me. What little bit I can anyway.

I can't wait to see what it's like on the outside now...

:-)

Thank You ~very much~ YourArf for posting.

[CH3MIS7RY]

84-0 for this 11/8 beauty.  Still undefeated!

[OrderGoldenMirror]

great song.

[loislombardo]

this solo puts me floating on a cloud

[stewartbyron]

So incredable, Frank was one of a kind

[depechemodevilla]

Beautiful. I'm actualy a littel teary eyed...

[kusze]

@depechemodevilla YES. FRANK WAS THE BEST

[depechemodevilla]

Beautiful. 

[pedalla]

some people are affraid that illegal download will ruin music industry... well i say even if you have loads of money, download everything you can and distribute it to everyone..

maybe one day we'll actually have real musicians coming to the scene... i bet the whole world would change then...

[supremeson100]

this is one of the best songs ive ever heard i use 2 souround my self wid such beautiful music im ashamed

[dabiz34]

this is the best song on the album . ike and ray rock.

[cliffkill]

retutetutetutetutenunenunee!!!

I met Frank in San Jose. He did a guest dj thing at KSJO around this period.

He was very nice to me. A great man. I miss his brilliance.

[rick4777]

Ike Willis is great on the vocals here!

[gergsar]

this is a very good example of Frank's improvisation skills...the entire solo is really

good, but 4:10 thru 4:26 is ultra-good...not only because of its difficulty, but because of how it SOUNDS.

[richcapo]

@gergsar What do you find difficult in that passage, and difficult compared to what? There's nothing particularly challenging in it, especially not compared to his contemporaries like Allan Holdsworth, John McG, Robert Fripp, et al. Frank wasn't a technical player--he said so himself--so where he gets this fan rputation for being a challenging guitarist is beyond me. Not that there's anything wrong with being a low-chops player, of course. You don't need top technique to be a great musician.

[funkempfang]

@richcapo well I think zappa is maybe not as technical as the ones you mention but I'm sure he is the most original!!!

others sound mostly the same but zappa is that star between millions that realy shine

[richcapo]

@funkempfang He definitely had his own thing going on when it came to his leads, no doubt.

[ButzisAroma]

My mind has been destroyed by music.

[naxtea]

this tune speaks to me in such a way i can't explain

[ButzisAroma]

@naxtea

The Central scrutinizer, yes indeed. Watermelon in Easter Hay in counterpart with Outside Now is some of the most emotionally charged stuff in his entire catalogue. And he said he didn't believe music had any emotional qualities! A genius, yes...but I think he may have been wrong about that.

[bleeshpo]

Something extra special about this solo. I can't explain.

[helenslens]

Can't get enough

[redkc]

11/8 time if I am not mistaken.

Hypnotic!!!

[raulitoc]

@redkc

correct

[IrisMadeline]

beautiful

[Theakker3]

Oh yeah, these executives have plooked the fuck out of me

[TheAwesomeClub]

@Theakker3: least they didn't fuck the plook outta ya

[IrisMadeline]

lol.

[Thomsonrf101]

Hi guys! Come check out my cover version of Outside Now! Just click on my name :D

[CH3MIS7RY]

Ike is smoother than Teflon...

[jeffbartlett47]

Ike Willis does have a great voice but he's only doing a bit of backup on this track. Ray White is singing lead. Ike is the taller guy in the light-blue-ish looking outfit, there's just a couple quick shots of him.

[YourArf]

Incorrect. Ike Willis is the one with the hat and Stratocaster. Ray is the one with the purple shirt and cutaway guitar. :)

[creamer298]

@jeffbartlett47 yeah Ike is lead vocals. he is also my hero forever and ever. amen.

[slgordon3]

@creamer298 - Yah I love Ike too. His voice is so great, so rich and expressive. Love it.

[blackmiroz]

me encatna esa puta voz...... ike wilis tu legado perdurara yo me encangare de eso

[cwphunky68]

Doesn't Ike Willis have the most awesome voice? Plus I love his style and phrasing. Never gets any credit either.

[ludmer67]

Quand Vinnie Colaiuta accompagne un morceau, aucun autre batteur ne peut vous le faire oublier !

[keystop]

so good

[uuilson]

this is great. thanks for posting!

[Daniita87]

ike's the best

[greenmedicineman]

I beleive this is what the forefathers of music would be creating in today's time, Frank is our Bach, Bethoven, all the true creators of what we call progressive music, Jazz from hell if you will.............miss you brother........thanks for the many lifetimes of music you created, I'll never be able to get through it all but I will try my best.

[sh2master]

I completely agree. And Zappa didn't have the privilege of a musical teacher; he was completely self-taught!

[pigletized]

Amazing!

[sdylte]

this doesn't belong in our world... heavenly

[skalt]

If there's any way to be raw and technical at the same time, that was FZ.

[curiousnomad]

Frank had such serious balls when he played the guitar. Most other guitarists were just dabbling- Zappa made them sound like they were in nursery school and he had a PhD.

[brucechrist]

wow, absolutely fucking amazing. im gonna listen to this every day for the rest of my life

[JimJemmapes]

ZAPPA FOR LIFE

[hakkerxxx]

11/8? wow, that's what makes this so cool.

[CH3MIS7RY]

primus did a tune called "eleven" in 11/8, too...pretty special.

[SteveSparx]

mint

[jeemobon]

the time signature is 11/8

[musicfromhell]

Why the hell is David Logeman playing in 4/4 when the time signature is 6/8?

[jeemobon]

４／４＋３／８

１１／８

[musicfromhell]

What the fuck does that mean?

[jimmypop33]

Ike + Frank, best Zappa era imho. RIP Frank we love you!

[litmus0001]

thank you!  i miss frank...

[trapsound]

beautiful...

[MikesOnTheRoadToZion]

i saw ZPZ tonight and this was UNREAL. best song of the night. Buffalo's Thursday in the Square. SO good

[VaiJedi]

I never had heard this song until the Columbus show, i love it!

[sandrastaley]

this is one of my favorites. when I first bought broadway the hard way, I listened to this one over and over and over again and often fell asleep with it. it's GENIOUS.

[BonesAndBones]

this song is so full of soul, i love it

[jedshed101]

Cmon folks ZPZ is ok I saw them in RI and thought they did very well

[SockbatReplica]

Poundforabrown I agree, ZPZ is pretty fuckin' white, I've seen em' live but only because I'm from Ottawa and good concerts don't really come our way so it was either Dweezil or nothin' for me. If I had the money I'd drive to the states to see Project/Object or something.

[Itruth09]

neither do i

[euphometric]

look at ike wearin that hat

[Zappafan1980]

I only know the Music of Frank Zappa for two years

I startet with the Roxy & Elswhere and Zappa Live in New York (my luck some of his best work)

I got addicted to Zappa after these Albums

and now i own his records from 1969 to 1984

A lot of time and mony effort to that hobby

but its definetly worth it.

[Zappafan1980]

This is my Favorite Song of the Joes Garage Album

I like it even more then Packard Goose

I was allways wondering how he plays the Notes from 0:51 to 1:11 now i know

Ike Willis has a great Soul voice

I wish Dweezil would play this one someday on his zappa plays zappa tour

[Synclovier]

you're a great zappa fan.

[Tamalinps]

Ike was my guitar teacher for awhile and I used to love hearing all his stories from being on the road with Frank...this riff was also one of the first things he ever taught me.

[SockbatReplica]

Zappafan when I saw ZPZ they played Outside now.

[jacosan]

saw him in about 82 at wembley arena...best ever

[Itruth09]

cant wait to die so I can see FZ again

[csigez]

Best comment ever! Thanks, I feel the same. Only I don't believe in heaven...

[stoopitjerk]

Was anyone at UF Gainesville in'79? He put on a hour & Half show for 8 bucks! and joined the rest of the college kids at the Great Southern Music Hall after his show. Back then "Keep it Greasy" was brand new and very "dirty",Archer Road band member poured a beer on Frank while he was graciously sigining autographs it killed the mood for everybody at the pub there,Frank told bodyguard to put him down & little bastard ran past leaving Frank soaked. dudes got to punch perp but 2 L-8.Frank left mad

[Synclovier]

1:19 Smothers!

[WTFuckRemix]

this song is cool

[tomtiddler]

I saw FZ live twice in '88 and I still haven't recovered! This is what I call a monster Zappa solo, and as far as I'm concerned Zappa was the reason the guitar was invented!

Cheers for posting..

Shaun

[strav12]

These executives have plooked the fuck out of me - right on Frank - one more solo for the road of interminable torture and beauty - I'll be getting out of here pretty soon....

[supagaz7]

absolutely awsome the man in my mind  was inspirational what a legend up there with the others....
