Wow, talk about having so much talent in one room. It blows my mind. Darkening Skies1: To hear Chester Thompson say Zappa is on a whole different level when he played with Genesis and Weather Report says a lot about Zappa's musical complexity and his natural talent which will probably never be seen again. Dweezil tells a story about how Eddie Van Halen came by the house because he wanted to meet Zappa. Check out the youtube video.
When the former drummer of Weather Report says he never heard music that tight and that difficult in his life, you know you are dealing with another level alltogether- and that was Zappa.
@19nywf39 They don`t get much better. Saw him 4 times with Genesis, missed him by a year or two with Zappa, but I got to see Bozzio instead and that wasn`t too shabby.
I come from the hood, man we don't talk about eating hot dogs.

I'm not even a drummer or percussionist, but this stuff is awesome.
Forgive me in advance for posting this on the other YouTube videos of this, but this stuff is just awesome.

@foutupourfoutu A little refreshing in a world of ego. I saw both bands also - FZ on New Years Eve 1977.
