Frank Zappa, Little house I used to live in

[20smallcigars]

4:30...Tommy gets me moist....;-)

[Squirrely24]

I alway loved Zappa so creative.....

[ttuerff]

Wow. Just Wow.

[thestikman]

This was 09/21/1978 at the Mid-Hudson Civic Center in Poughkeepsie, NY. I was there. At around 2:50 the crowd started chanting "Titties and Beer", at least that's what I heard from my vantage point. Mercifully, on this recording it just sounds like cheering. From there Tommy sang some lyrics I've never heard before of since. Sounds like he might have made them up on the spot. Anyone know about this? Anyone have the "Wild Love" from that night? I left the hall that night humming it. Cheers.

[manufacturedtocomply]

@thestikman a torrent of the whole show (and hundreds of others) is at Zappateers. "Wild Love" wasn't played that night, or on that tour, as far as I know.

[AldofromBordeaux]

@thestikman Lucky You are to being there that night...to answering your question...I Got to check It Out, but If I remembered well I Thing this show exist in soundboard recrding, maybe the 2 show cause I believed there's was an early & a late show on this date....Forgive me If I'm totally wrong...Promise to check it out in my setlist...

[the1wolf2010]

wonderfull music , danke schön

[lghalihaf]

This is not lil' house I used to live in

[Farksisten]

@lghalihaf Yes, it is. It's a different arrangement than on Burnt Weeny Sandwhich.

[G7flat5]

Man this is great! Buerntweeny Sandwich is one of favorite albums and to hear this version is unbelievable! What CD / Album is this version on?

[angie4josh]

*Dies from the utter brilliance of this song

[dazamaru]

[bwanna23]

Seriously folks.

[noklarok]

[giorgiakerr]

Beautiful...just absolutely beautiful.

[Shevnin]

super futuris

[frederickus]

fucking lovely!!!

[thepanquess]

lo mejor de frank zappa!!!!!!!

[dekekyo]

..were there no such thing as Zappa: would Man invent him anyway.!?!

[m2kno1]

@dekekyo no

[robingoodfellow93]

@dekekyo Too perfect....I'm stealing this....

[EddieGoregor]

Hey Gregggary!? Where did this piece originate from? The performance is awesome. It was a nice step up from the burnt weenie piece. Posthumous release?

[roachfly]

great

[dantean]

I'm not convinced humans can be universally reduced to explanations from psych textbooks. Sure, there are people who make fun of themselves for the reason you give, and others who are confident in who they are and have no need for defense mechanisms. I don't believe 6 billion individuals can--or should--be reduced in that way.

[GreggaryPeccary]

All the other stuff in your comment aside, I thought the moniker "MOI" was dropped because of legal reasons? I might be wrong

[FreakOutG4]

In the end of the song he says "everybody ib this room is wearing a uniform and don't kid yourselves"

[Nintendawg]

Holy freaking crap!

I've never heard the piano solo ever being played outside of the album, more or less by the 1978 band!

[manucapo]

man those chord progressions is crazy, this man never fails to impress me

[SteveSparx]

Better each time

[boogster123321]

another great clip greg

[orsonfreud]

Mr. Peccary, 1,000 thanks for all your great postings. Frank Zappa is to music what Frank Lloyd Wright was to architecture.

[reldditmot]

Great vid, have my reasons for approving, been caiught with lots of freaks and motherfuckers on YT leaving pathetic comments, 5***** Uploading this track, a live version from Berlin very soon!

Best regards, Shaun..

[SteveSparx]

Freshman year @Tulane Saenger Theater-The Dead played the next night

[nothingblue1]

didn't Ian Underwood transcribe that solo piano section?

[GreggaryPeccary]

No, he played it on "Burnt Weeny Sandwich"

[Zappafantrust]

@GreggaryPeccary He also did a transcription of it and it was published in the Frank Zappa Songbook in the early 70´s

[Jonnin7]

@nothingblue1 yes it's on a book

[strav12]

Hey! Thanks for your great postings btw - would hate to appear ungrateful!

[strav12]

OK - I'll wait - you have succeeded in contributing to the global financial crisis as I ordered a whole load of Berio - you see, us plebs like music but it would be nice if the gregarious wild swine of a composer type that you are (or any of your comrades) could get off your arses and explain sentences about why one Sequenza is 'the best'. Of course, we don't really give a shit about what you say, but it is interesting to learn technically what is going on - it's more commentary I'm after.

[strav12]

Hey! Aren't the first 1 min 50 secs on Ship Arriving Too Late? - either on the title track or on Envelopes? Or am I just descending into madness?! Definitely Motherfuckers of Mental Health Invention here - there is no mental health without Zappa! Tommy's keyboards are awesome.

[GreggaryPeccary]

Nope, you are descending into madness. This is most definitely the piano interlude on "Burnt Weeny Sandwich". If you don't know it, check it out

[strav12]

But, but, but I'm trying to get that, er, mad glint in my eye 'n everything! You know. Oomph! Meanwhile, thanks for the enlightenment - more in other Berian quarters would also be welcome - as I descend into madness.......................­....

[fadethetrade]

@strav12 I can recommend a good therapist,if needed! try changing the meds you're on. Just Kidding!! yes,the progressions and ensemble sound a bit like those compositions.But this is frank's comtemporary style.I've always maintained the three greatest composers were:1) Beethoven 2) Stravinsky 3) Zappa And frank mixed in pop,jazz,doowop,fusion,heavy metal etc.

[BwanaTube]

That's the only tour I missed between '74 and '88 for shows in the Boston area. They didn't play Boston proper, and I didn't have any way to get to Danvers.

[drummerkid24]

ed mann on percussion and arthur barrow on bass.

Thx for posting, first time ive heard the 78 band play this song

[GreggaryPeccary]

I know, I know... I was lazy

[BeauJames59]

[LudzNL]

[hanshorseback]
