Frank Zappa - Montana (live in NYC, 1981)

[probrojeffro]

I hear his music and it just wakes me up. It hits my head, heart, and groin in unison, providing energy and performance you can't get from your average music. He is gas for the ass all other parts included, not only to get you up and groovin' but to keep ya movin' Thanks Frank, for your musical tank of gas. Gas.

[jcandtheposibilities]

Awesome performance

[GRobb62]

[MusicFromPeru]

[CrosbyStillsNashYoun]

Steve Vai sings really well!!

[Farksisten]

@CrosbyStillsNashYoun Actully, it's mainly Robert Martin doing that line, it's just that the camera is on Steve's face.

[CrosbyStillsNashYoun]

@Farksisten Not convinced.

[Farksisten]

@CrosbyStillsNashYoun Well, check out Roberts vocals on Franks version of Whipping Post and compare. Vai did some background vocals and noises in Franks band, but he was mainly hired to play guitar.

[beansandcornbread]

@CrosbyStillsNashYoun Listen at about 3:37, the low voice is Vai.

[xamgrab]

is that steve vai?

[YourArf]

@xamgrab Yes, see infobox for lineup.

[chacky168]

@xamgrab no way man

[khiley9]

Does anybody know what that funny sound effect is created on, at 0:14, just as Frank is starting to sing?

[YourArf]

@khiley9 It's a syndrum. Ed Mann (the percussionist) is playing them.

[chacky168]

@khiley9 guitar slide

[myklmusic]

@khiley9 Just about any synth can create that sound too.

[b0b1919]

@qixismygame Your tempo's wrong

[Squigibo]

@b0b1919

That's typical Zappa, changing tempo on the fly. He would even do it differently between shows sometimes.

[stouchbag]

Frank Would have been an amazing guest on The Muppet Show. This song in particular would be perfect

This guy was one of the greatest Jim Croce porn-star look-a-likes. I had wished he could live forever but he can't now because Satan has killed him.
