ZAPPA - a token of his extreme Pt 8 pygmy twylyte

[pedalla]

n.m. brock's singig always make me feel like i'm listening to funkadelic... nevertheless, my favorite lineup

[designerguitar]

but then there is always - no there is no one else

[basscataz]

@designerguitar  maybe Mike Patton should be included

[designerguitar]

this is what i grew up with. where is all the good music apart from Huey that is.

[designerguitar]

maybe I'll look into Mike a bit deeper - never know what you may find!

[heyjunky]

One person is not extreme.

[Grandgousiers]

why does homer simpson play keyboards at 5:21 ?

[brucechrist]

this version starts with the end of 'orange county' but misses out the full solo before going into 'pygmy twylyte'

add watch?v=coG2EakB97g&feature=re­lated for the full solo

[riblanc]

May God be holding good old Frank in the hollow of his hand.

[AnarchiveMagnetik]

Thx for share, l sing this song with my first jam band

[zapitorosendin]

¿Cuándo se inaugura el museo dedicado a la obra y talento de este señor?.....mientras tanto,como decía Rosendo Mercado,seguiremos esperando y sufriendo la tortura de las vellonzé,xakira y similares.Thanks a lot señor ZAPPA. GOD BLESS YOUR MEMORY aunque no os llevaráis del todo bien. OLE!!!!!!!!!!

[jojokerus]

They got it down.

[1965Davey]

This band of Zappa's played so many gigs, that they were one of the tightest bands he had. It seems like Frank had the most fun touring with this line up.

[broodyart]

I had a boss once who told me," If you can't get enough work, just by word of mouth. Than advertising, won't keep you employed." F.z. & the mothers were listened to, & most  loved it! Just by word of mouth, [ No mtv in those days.] So it is the quality of this music that will keep people interested! Sorry Frank, [ in the end you didn't care really ] but your work excelled in quality to the point, it cannot be forgotten.

[thekwaze]

Let's not forget Napoleon Murphy Brock - he isn't too bad.....

[Bigswifty75]

lets not forget Napolean Murphey Brock, the timeless voice, moves and sax really make this a great version, and ruth underwood on the vibes, George Duke on keys, cheater thompson on drums.. great stuff, probably one of the best of the bands over the years, so much talent

[BigKahuna93]

this is probably my favorite zappa line up without the original mothers, after that comes the belew and bozzio phase and then the willis, white and martin era^^

[b0b1919]

@BigKahuna93 Definately his best line up. I'd put Colaiuta and Cuccurollo above Bozzo though

[viidiot]

this song rocks out. Zeppelin, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Miles Davis, Funkadelic, Grateful Dead, Santana. These.

[wrekkedj1975]

Music is the best.

[SativaBeliver]

frank was better than zep and floyd not to say there bad

[keystop]

Led Zepp and Floyd didn't hang with this

[lazertadpole]

I wonder if ruth managed to get laid as a result of playing shows with her top off :-). awesome footage man thanks for posting

[fadethetrade]

I read a anonymous book about zappas life between 71 and 74 and this lady who was in the band toured with them and she was his lover for that time frame.could it have been ruth,she did divorce ian the other mother in the group around 71! HMMM!!!

[Caligulette]

The best band I never heard in my life ....

[rfreud]

Does anyone know the date of this concert? I saw this band in Ft.. Lauderdale in early March 1973 but I am not sure this is the very same concert.

[Farksisten]

My soul has been touched...

[pauker1]

yep!

[mydogsawizard]

sick sick sick! love 74 zappa!

[kingscott58]

i'll always remember the mothers day concerts in baltimore!!! zapp's birth place! thanx my friend for the excellant work in bringing such a wonderful tune!!!!

[LMB222]

Zappa had mentally little to do with US, let alone Baltimore...

[PierreGrondinLeBlanc]

This is an awesome song.  Frank Zappa has an endless list of quality material. He is just so awesome.

[brucechrist]

correct!

[rleary1]

This is my all time favorite Zappa band of all of his different bands. They're all having such a damn good time playin' together. You can just feel it.

[fadethetrade]

Yeah because it was the last band before he became commercially appealling.

[FrankieZBongs]

I would say he became commercially appealing after 81 when he was on MTV

[fadethetrade]

no,it was Saturday night live performance december 1976 with candice bergman and john belushi that jump started frank into US popularity and commercail appeal especially after zoot allures album 1976 and baby snakes movie 1978.

[fadethetrade]

The commercial appeal began with sheik yer bouti,bobby brown,jewish princess,dancing fool. And his SNL performance with dancing fool really got him to the top of commercial appeal.lets face it,when I heard zappa dancing fool played on an AM radio staion in 1979 one afternoon in NY,I knew he got there commercially! 81 palladium performance was already just a twist of what he did in the 70;s.His commercial appeal,whatever he got,was already desiminated to the public by 1979.

[thespewking]

@FrankieZBongs lol, when the two organisations got together

His concert was broughtcasted live. THE start of MTV.

[GDarkstar74]

Awesome, i have only seen the parts of this show that are on dub room special. Wish they put Son of Orange County and Pygmy Twylyte on it.

[fellowvoyager]

i miss the Roxy arrangement :( wish youtube would leave it up.

[BigSwifty68]

Dig this arrangement!

[chevy396man]

i don't have alot of Frank on video....But CD's..... about 35 or 40..... Some of the best is on Live Collections Titled " You Can't do that on Stage anymore" volumes 1,2,3....etc. and "the Best band you never heard in your Life" Top notch live Performances. RIP FZ.....arf arf

[RICbass78]

what show is this from? Can I get it on dvd?

[SirYellowShark]

you can buy the dub room special, but it only has some of the performances from this show. the rest is from the 81 halloween show at the palladium. its a good buy though.

[npspec34]

This is nice.

[dothedewupurs]

Ruth is so funny

[papoulexou]
