Frank Zappa's "Chunga's Revenge" (1970)

[ukkfayooyay]

amazing. listening to Frank for 40 years, never heard this version of Chunga.

[Tweez]

From the Zappa WIKI: Recorded in concert at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, VA on November 1, 1975. ... . Bitchin' melodica solo too!

[rondy2]

......... THIS is a great version of "Chunga`s Revenge" and it ends so abruptly.........."Chunga`s Revenge": one of the best compositions of FZ!!!

[soyounoat]

Terry "Ted" Bozzio first played with FZ in 1975... There is a good possibility this is Aynsley Dunbar heard playing.

[pedalla]

@soyounoat joe's menage is from 1975, so is this song, and so is this terry's drumming... publisher of this video got something wrong...

[mightyhighrocks]

That was fuckin great! Never heard that line up before.

[MrMariodave]

[Shackamaxon]

[skinupfast]

@MrMariodave do you or anyone else by any chance know on which album to find this version?

i couldnt find the album joes menage neither in amazon nor in ebay, would be grateful for a hint. thanks

[MrMariodave]

@skinupfast try musictoday. unfortunately it´s very expensive. but if you live in the netherlands, then try soundsdelft

[noweedman]

@MrMariodave thanks. best regards...

[tthayer7]

@skinupfast Hi This album was part or included in a bootleg set of three album that were available way back in time around 70,71, Held these and was intently fascinated at this particular cut. Very difficult to find nowdays I would guess. The guitar work. I think I will catch a plane to netherlands, this is the area of the world to find the most incredible FZ material of this nature. Thanks, out

[skinupfast]

@tthayer7 allright, thanks. I´m not too far from the netherlands anyway. most any guitar work by FZ is musically outstanding though.... take care

a little funk, a little hard metal, a little rock, a little turtle, and a little squid, with a pinch of centipede.

[plasticjesus108]

FUCKING FANTASTIC

[miragefoto]

Who's the lady singing on this?

[PoundForABrown]

This is 76

[dantean]

Great version, only I miss Aynsley Dunbar. Groove drummers like Bozzio and the army of post-1972 Zappa percussionists--each one more technically amazing than the last--just don't do it for me. Dunbar's thing is all tension, dynamics--and chops! What can I say?

[seenherdressedinblue]

@dantean I love Aynsley Dunbar's work on Bowie's Diamond Dogs. It's both subdued and epic at the same time.

[dantean]

I just posted a couple of tunes from Bowie's

"1980 Floor Show" from 1973 w Aynsley (& Mick Ronson) "1984" and "Can't Explain" that are monster!

[bishopquack]

the song was originally writen in 1970 but this is like 75/76 i think. But great song. Im not a snob please

[pennnchef]

Agree! The period around FZ:OZ. Terrific version! Substantial fill

[rondy2]

Yes: One of the best versions!!!!!

[Metalhead4569]

Jazz fusion at its very best. RIP Frank.
