Drowning Witch 1981

[mnmlmaximal]

@Jerebear57 hahah u're joking rite?

[Huija]

masterpiece!!

[scutigeree]

I prefer when zappa used a clean guitar sound for the second solo. Like in the pieces "St Etienne" or "Do Not Pass Go". That convey more emotion.

[ThingsByBaba]

i heard about this song from a book "beatiful craetures"

[timmo1782]

awesome, zappa crushed all boxes.. freewheelin genius !

[prezobummer]

hahahah sardines in her eyebrows n lobsters up n down her forehead n smelling very bad

[nomadnametab]

My gf peed her pants when I sang this. She'd never heard it. Thanks Frank, I know now how to get the best of her. lol

[FormerlyMrBean667]

@nomadnametab peeing herself is the best of her?

"It's not very clean down there." to put it in Zappa's terms

[SrUlloa]

She can mutate insanely!!!!

[TheRealFZ]

Hey Dweezil mach das doch mal nach. Kannst nicht?

Thanx Frank, sound good!

awesome recording

[thepurplelagoon]

Thanks for uploading this. I love this tune and its great to hear other versions for obsessed prehensile joe's like me! Moo-aah

[Bram1978]

there is another live version of this song. The whole band always considered this song extremely difficult to play. So in this other version i wrote about, the band said that it was performed perfect.

Does anyone know that version is online aswell or knows which performance this weas?

[Cheepn1s]

You mean the You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore Vol. 3 version?

[Bram1978]

i don't recall so, there was another version i think

[Chronepsis5]

@Bram1978 If nobodies got back to you yet all I can think of is that the chord progression is real simular to the massively mad maddness at the end of Yo Mamma at the back of 79s Shiek Yer Bouti ,outing which I beilieve to be a remasterd live recording this versions great but sounds much more cosmic on my LP probably a speaker preferance .Does this help?

[jancivil]

that's right, Drowning Witch goes to Envelopes right here, or whatever else would follow on stage.

[jancivil]

No, I mean the solo. Vai plays the prescribed parts.

[cosmix]

This is So Rad!

[jancivil]

the first solo is the same as on the album

[HoldenPettyIII]

Thanks Wazoo17

I needed to hear this for some reason, I appreciate it! I'm gong to be O.K. now ... f inish my be.eeer....

.(....We all miss Frank...)

[bnork]

i have a lot of this show that i downloaded, but not this track,,,wasn't this a king biscuit flower hour recording?

[piregister]

no video

[youvebeenthunderstru]

So?

[GreggaryPeccary]

Because of the 10 min. limit? Then you should have cut out the first or second solo

[GreggaryPeccary]

Oh wait a second, I had a while to go still. Why did you cut it out? What for?

[ghellogm]

It was already cut on the broadcast along with other songs. There is an audience tape of this show, however, which has all the missing material

[GreggaryPeccary]

Nice version!!
