One of my top five favourite solos. I hate to sound like a blues snob, but I think I can say that he put "feel" or "emotion" or whatever you want to call it into a lot of his stuff, espicially the guitar solos. Shawn Lane done a great cover of this tune, although it's hard to hear it properly because of all the noise coming from the other people around him, unfortunately.
@Claudiobenyossef I'm so glad Frank didn't do drugs. I love Jimmy Page, but there are times near the end of Zeppelin when he was on H that it obviously affected his playing. You never had those kinds of concerns with Frank. He was always *on*, always prepared. I can't think of any live Frank I've heard where he played half-assed. He always played for his fans just as much as he played for the love of playing imo.
what kills me all these years and allthese versions of the song...He put his all into the song....doesn't have to be nyc or paris .... KILLLER solo....
Every time I listen to this, 2:48 hits me like a huge bouquet of wildflowers to the face at 100mph and then proceeds to rub it in a vigorous circular motion. I do believe this is my favorite Watermelon.
@tomtiddler your on top a year later im 51 years old and im as much a zappa fanatic now as when i was 14,im one of thse who knew all along like it says on th back of shut up and plat yer guitar i am pepe lombardo

Zappa at his most feelingest and his most deepest....I cry.
"On the saxaphone, you can play sleaze. On the bass, you can play balls. But on the guitar, you can be downrite obscene"!- Frank Zappa.

Agreed 100%
We've lost a lot of great thinkers over the years since Frank passed, but I have to say - Frank going away really really sucks....

I really miss Frank the most around Halloween. Could you imagine the music and the satire he would be making right now? Only the best die young...

Can't believe it's been so long. Zappa was always an amazing show to see. My favorite song.
