  • @fridun007 Yes, this performance is from Season 2/Episode 10. Candice Bergen host, Frank Zappa musical guest. Frank was both host and musical guest Season 4/Episode 3. You can stream both on Netflix, but that probably won't last forever. :)

  • Zappa getting nasty and not caring. A rare chance to see him in his natural habitat.

  • @Thelittlepumpkins Frank could get nasty, but he was ALWAYS caring. He just didn't always show it. ;)

  • The ending part is a different version of RDNZL. Listen carefully and you'll see. FZ the man of millennium.

  • as a young boy i wandered if crazy music like this was wrong; i finally understood that wrong is right; but now this music seems wrong because it is not techno or pop music; did i loose my time or has the world become stupid?

  • this does look like the snl set. remember when zappa did a coneheads skit? during the sheik ter booty days

  • Wow that violin is so badass

  • @assfacedfucker Jean Luc Ponty. He currently plays for jazz fusion super group Return to Forever (led by Chick Corea) and is on tour with Zappa Plays Zappa (Dweezil).

  • @dann3th3manni3 oh i know who he is.. I was just talking about the instrument, never seen a clear violin

  • As tight as any jazz or classical band and more rocking than just about any rock band. Brilliant!

  • dunno about this arrangement...

  • wow

  • que bueno....

    

  • yeah! Ron Jeremy on Percussion

  • @mitzuplick1 :-) You beat me to the punch... I was thinking the same thing!! :-) hahaha!!

  • @mitzuplick1 *trombone 2:48

  • @mitzuplick1 Was he promoting Extenze? =)

  • @mitzuplick1 and that fahg from jethro tull on violin

  • waz that on SNLive '75?

  • zappa teach me about instruments that i have never heard in my life.i never knew violin could sound like that awesome .

  • And Terry Bozio on drums !!! :)

  • Yep, it IS Eddie Jobson! Played with Zappa a little after Roxy.

  • That looks an awful lot like Eddie Jobson on violin, but surely that can't be right. It even looks like the violin Jobson used to play when he was with Roxy Music.

  • @LegZoff of course its eddie,he toured with frank in 76.

  • god, in this video there are lou marini, alan rubin and tom malone from the blues brothers (saxophone, trombone and trumpet)! 

  • yeah, this is the snl performance.

  • My God the violin is awesome

  • What KINDA FUCKING voilin is THAT?!?!?!

  • @WTFisvF he is using a sinthesizer that is why is sound different .

  • @kiak12 If you're talking about the violin, there's no synth there. That's just an electric violin you're hearing. If doesn't sound like a violin it's because most of his lines are being doubled by the flute and/or guitar in various places. I'm not sure the technology even existed in 1976 to trigger a synth from a violin.

  • Happy birthday, Frank.

  • I mean this version

  • @fabiopl Obviously originally from Hot Rats. This version is from a DVD called transmissions. There was a limited edition CD with the same name and this version was on that. Good luck in trying to find it though.

  • @Laurie111 its from saturday night live

  • @Laurie111 This was LIVE! SNL, I recall it like yesterday. Don introduced it by name! " And now, Frank Zappa with, peaches en regalia".

  • which album is this from?

  • @fabiopl hot rats (1969)

  • the best vid for this music

  • Comment removed

  • @Johnnybgoode56

    Also Patrick O'Hearn, Alan Rubin, Don Grolnick, Ronnie Cuber, Maricicio Smith, David Samuels, Lou Marini, Ronnie Cuber and Tom Malone, some of the horn section you may recognise from The Blues Brothers movie. John Belushi actually appears on Purple Lagoon later in the show. It was recorded on 11th December 1976 for the American version of Saturday Night Live
