  • Finale. On the Cusp of Reality. Wake up Folks!

  • Wait for the Solo at 3:25. Screamin.....

  • KILLER SONG OFF ONE OF HIS BEST !!!!

  • craziest keyboard solo ive ever heard

  • This song reminds me a little of "I am the Slime"

  • You can reach some profound epiphanies listening to zappa as well as a few laughs about how stupid your epiphanies really are

  • @peacesellsstevebuyin Zappa could not have said it better. Hats off to you sir.

  • @OverbeyPaul thank you

  • "who the hell press the dislike button..."

    Some "pushing buttons technos/hip hop" that calls themselves "musicians", but can't even play correctly 2 chords in a row on a guitar after practicing for a month or more...

    This song is my favorite from Zappa, and a reference if you want to know a bit more about Zappa works. I like a lot his "commercial" stuff, because it's "crazy", with plenty of ones of the bests musicians on the planet at that time, playing good music in background!

    R.I.P. B¬{D≈!

  • monster track

  • i remember in an interview reading that zappa said this is one of his favorite compositions of his.

  • FUCKUP CANCER! IT KILLED OUR MASTER!!!!!!!!!!

  • It's only me or the riff that starts at 0:35 is also in another Zappa song? Can someone please tell me the name of that song?

  • @pedranzo I am the Slime maybe?

  • This is an effing MONSTER piece of music. I give thanks every time I hear it that I was born at just the right time to experience it.

  • Zappa was a genius, i wish i could do what he did

  • first time i heard this track it made me stand up and send shivers down my spine. still sends them shivers to this day!

  • One of the most expressive Zappa songs...

    Thanks for uploading.

  • jesus christ!

  • peraphs best FZ track ever (for me)

  • louder fer fuck sake  dig the precussion

  • I just bought this delicious album on vinyl at Easy Street in Seattle the other day....I can't wait to groove to it.

  • All I can say is WOW!! Everytime I introduce this to someone, they always say WOW!! Who is this? I say the master FRANK ZAPPA. They say "He is GOOD!!"

  • The Grand Wazoo, one of my favourite FZ albums!

  • (insert clever remark about the number of dislikes and become THAT guy here)

  • It sounds as if there would be -- all of a sudden -- some great creature rising from the ground and it arrived to save the planet from the shit we've done to each other -- humans and animals...

    May Zappa reincarnate and go ahead with more complex acts named music. We want it to be real. To play the soundtrack for the beginning of a new humanity. The Great New One...

    Thank U!

  • who the hell press the dislike button...

    Frank Jenious Zappa should be his name!

    thanks for posting this

  • i like this! very good!!

  • Not a huge Zappa fan - but this is good. The 2 1/2 minutes around guitar solo is great. This is in my 20-song Zappa favorites collection. The guy had moments of either silliness (to sell tickets I guess) or genius.

  • So great. Where are you Frank, we need you now more than ever!!!

    

  • did this just happen?

  • Ah, fantastic! Great to see support for Zappa's jazz albums. I'll have to record needledrops of this album, it's one of my favorites. Am I wrong to enjoy The Grand Wazoo more than Hot Rats? This is one of those albums that sounds fantastic even on the cheapest, crummiest plastic turntable. The quality just shines through. (Note: please don't get a cheap, crummy plastic turntable. Hunt down a good one.)

  • @gamesDAMNED

    Definitely not. I also love Waka Jawaka. I have played both these albums incessantly since their inception!!!!

  • @gamesDAMNED "Blessed Relief" <3 The only thing on Hot Rats that I like as much as the Waka/Jawaka+Grand Wazoo period is "The Gumbo Variations," that rhythm break on that song is about as bad ass as it gets.

  • @gamesDAMNED -like a rega with a grado cartridge

  • @gamesDAMNED Peaches And Regalia from Hot Rats is my favorite tune, but I'm with you, I prefer Grand Wazoo.

  • Ah, yes..real musical people (a.k..a., those w/ musical knowledge vs. just stupid "rhythymn-beat") know FZ's sound was , and still is, Tops in it's class...altho it is way out of anyone else's class...

  • @harkrum wow. aren't you the musical genius elitist. well done. it must be great to understand and digest complicated music like you do. we can only dream.

  • @daliraygun Sorry if the wrong idea is comin' off here...I meant no insult...I just feel FZ's music brought MUSIC to a higher level, perhaps a bit more intricate than the "other guy's"...some folks get it, some don't...I don't think I'm a "musical genius elitist" , and certainly many others can understand and digest complicated music...they need not dream, only to BE and DO!!!....FZ's music DOES happen to be some of the most complicated...

  • Note how drummer Aynsley Dunbar manages neither to be non-descript, nor to trample the composition with some miserable "groove" we all would have to endure. Thank you (or God) for posting!

  • Comment removed

  • @dantean it was obviously an act of God, or Bob maybe.

  • 3 people are deaf.

  • everytime i listen to this it gets better and i did not like this album when i first heard it but now out of my 23 zappa albums its one of my favs

  • This song is fantastic on Audiosurf

  • Zappa had been derailroaded off the stage by an obsessive fan a matter of a year before this and before anything else ever happened; after organising this and taking both flak and part in it too, can you blame him

  • This stuff is so amazingly groovy in the whole sense of the word !!!

  • like gIL AND bILL eVANS ALL IN ONE ,,,,,

  • 3 people can't handle it.

  • How funky is this track?

  • great track on a great album !

    guitar solo is amazing!

  • great track on a great album !

  • yes. a great dessert after dinner and a shit day.thanks for post

  • This was the precursor to the balls to the walls rock that came with Just Another Band From LA

  • I could listen to that keyboard intro 50 times a day and not get tired of it.

  • it's zappalicious.

  • Listen this in front Punta del Este beach drinkin an ice coffee is just... ORGASMIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

  • @MrMartinSosa Escuchando Zappa en Punta del Este tomando café helado? Juaa no sabia que eso existia jajaja..

  • There will be no other! Long live ZAPPA!!!!

  • Einmarsch der Gladiatoren!

    The Grand Wazoo-

  • Thank you Frank, for your incredible contribution to humanity by living on this planet. Thank you.

  • @BLooDCoMPleX

    He would hate this comment. He only made music for himself. He couldn't give less of a shit what we thought of it and that is the beauty of it.

  • @Jonnyreb1988 I agree. But I'm still thankful.

  • @Jonnyreb1988 If that were true he'd have never toured.

  • @urwclwg

    Tours brought in more money, money that could then be invested in a better quality of music.

  • GRand Wazoo...Le meilleur avec les autres...

  • One of the best composers of all time, and always pushing his music to new levels. Such a healthy inspiration Zappa is, thanks Frank!

  • Words cant describe how much I love Frank Zappa!

  • Yes, definitely a genius. My favourite version is on Make A Jazz Noise Here - less than 2 minutes long, but a fantastic arrangement.

  • @DanSteely68 Indeed that's a great one, especially the way how they end that great medley.

    (I hope I'm not mistaken with the word medley)

  • @DanSteely68 thanks for that, checked it out, youre right - fantastic!

  • Genius !!!!!!!!!!!

  • Oh yes! I saw the Grande Mothers Re-invented (all ex mothers of invention like Roy Estrada, Don Preston and Napoleon Murphy Brock) in Trieste the other day! They were STUNNING!

  • keaboards.... what is it? i love this sounds

  • @NickNickUA the keyboard used is a fender rhodes

  • @muzik87 thanks

  • Yum yum exactly ;)

  • Inspired by Charles Ives' Unanswered Question.

    Sounds great cranked up on a very good hi-fi....
