Frank Zappa - Baby Snakes - instrumental

[whitedwarf13]

Seriously, what is with the faces that Terry Bozzio is making at the start of this video? Very strange...

[future4you]

Did you change the Scale length to 25" instead of the standard 24 3/4"?

I would imagine that being tricky.

This improv by Tommy Mars is what got him into the band. The ability to vocalize and play impressed Frank, he even dragged Gail in to listen to him at the audition. Another example of Frank utilizing his musicians to their strengths.

[stutwostep]

Tommy Mars...Epic!

[DWHarper62]

One of the first pieces Frank ever wrote...

Terry Bozzio is Awesome here.

When the bass starts at :22 you can tell it's from "Pound For A Brown."

Bozzio is unbelievably amazing drummer...although I've read that he's an asshole.

Nevertheless. .. mind blowing stuff!

[NiXPredator]

@Hodenkat I agree, his is amazing. I however usually read that he is an exceptionally nice guy.

Tommy Mars! This is from the great concert movie "Baby Snakes", which also has some outrageous clay-mation!

[HerbieAndElke]

It's just a jam on that riff, I think...

[dockaiser]

Patrik O'Hearns on the bass has a great sound

[amirper2000]

[Ooberpoonage]

[mrteddy999]

The words?

"I'll just get get out my little notebook and pen and ask a bunch of fascinating stuff..."

[Farksisten]

It's an excerpt from the song "Pound for a brown (on the bus)". It's basically a number for the band to solo/improv in.
