[5jerry1]

4:10 "What - Me worry?"

[mr01FABIO]

GREAT !

[jdu6]

MAN, I WISH I HAD GOTTEN TO WITTNESS HIM LIVE....

[Informatisse]

>< Love the notes played at 05:53 just after Bruce Fowler said "I got fired a couple of time, that's a standard procedure".

Can't play this? Twitlulu twitlululiloooboom you're fired !

"xD no please, I beg you!"

[Queenodee]

ZAPPA IS GOD!!! R.I.P.!

Capatain Beefheart R.I.P aswell!

[oatstao]

@stuporduper Most def! The british ones seem to blow out the myths of the characters, like make it all pop-myth vibe... and these break it down for the true music lovers, not the myth lovers!

[exentr]

Napoleon: Well, I went to LA. I listen to the band and - I saw my destiny.

[exentr]

They look happy well aware that there are not fully able to play everything he wrote. If they still ain`t able to after 30 years, noone can do it.

[andygray]

Thanks for posting these clips. Outstanding!

[noxinferius]

DAMN!!!!! Frank played guitar like a true Mother...

[887690]

you bet your ass!

[swaimb]

Just saw Dweezil in Atlanta. Fantastic show. His band does an awesome job covering Frank's songs. Definitely catch it if you can!

[cjk9013]

I should have finished watching before commenting. Wow, is all I can say after this. And thank you for posting.

[cjk9013]

Funny; as if he knew anything about Jean Luc Ponty at that time/ stage. As Bill Cosby so eloquently said, "Right".

[cjk9013]

Thanks for posting. I hate when they show Ruth Underwood appearing like she is worshipping. She is most underrated among the ignorant.

[folkhippy]

What song playing during the live footage at the beginning?

[Mungo10]

Inca Roads

[jaquemati]

inca roads

[szt1964]

@nothingblue and others. I couldnt agree more. I cannot grasp this music in a sense you can identify styles of others, to me it is the sheer energy of Frank's Music and atttitude that blows me constantly away for the last 30 years. Incredible energy, awe inspiring would be the least to say

[dapunkof1975]

Damn that is some bass playing

[hateaters]

love seeing how much the guys had to struggle with hard tunes like the bebop tango

[alishacail]

very wicked :)

[triangletheorytrey]

I enjoy the wet sounds and dry vibrations of mister Frank. RIP-FZ

[dapunkof1975]

Inca Roads - favorite Zappa Song

[Guitarstring187]

what era of band wasit a 2:16 i like that period

[robcastellani]

One Size Fits All and Roxy And Elsewhere.

[robcastellani]

One Size Fits All and Roxy And Elsewhere.

[DVincentW]

Lumpy Gravy too:)

[biafra41]

god allemachtig orgasme zeddie@!

[Moplu]

What song do they play around minute 2:00 etc?

[bunkhabit]

that's from "inca roads," off the "one size fits all" album. there's also a good version from the helsinki concert - "you can't do that on stage anymore, vol. 2." - great concert cd.

[sparksrule]

I'm not really bothered by that band, I must say. The one with Ponty and Fowler from 1973 was great. A bridge between the Wazoo and One Size Fits All groups!

[Bix12]

Definitely--his '73-78 band was the best of the best! And I've seen at least 5 different Zappa over the years....all great, but that band that debut'd on the "Overnite Sensation" album was fucking incredible!

[boogster123321]

there is more to this doc. do you have any more.

[bakabana1966]

all zappa i have is on youtube now

[boogster123321]

okay. thank you for answering my question.

[thegirl44]

Thank you so much for this. Sad as this sounds, I think that the American media was happy to just make Frank go away after his passing. I don't think that it was a slight against his music, I think that they just didn't want the coming generations to latch on to his social and political views. I'm happy to report that it appears that they have, regardless.

[bandcouver]

I have a lot of the same views as Zappa and I will never forget him or his music. It's idiotic how radio stations STILL don't play his music.

Not even ones in dumbass Vancouver. Except when I do at Co-op radio. It

shows how dummied-down the system has become. Making people afraid of ANYTHING they don't already know to death.

[nothingblue1]

Frank's music is an interesting subject, its not like some artists where you can hear a few of their tracks and basically understand their styles. Zappa did country western stuff, doo wop, obscure talking stuff, complicated and harmonically beautiful stuff, rap. Its easy to hear a track of Frank's and make the conclusion in your mind that you have his style under control because you don't, you're just ignorant.

[thegirl44]

I think that you may have posted this message to the wrong person, I said nothing in my comment about Frank's music.

[Jedizen07]

@thegirl44 Thank goodness for this man!

[vampyros1]

@thegirl44 Ya, there's a big political conspiracy that exists for the sole purpose of quashing Zappa's influence ..... LOL Since Frank's passing, the chutzpah of social mores in this country have far exceeded that which Frank had ever sought to advance. The American media is just constantly bombarded with 'cultural' options, and they usually veer to the contemporaneous side of things. His music lives on regardless and, in part, thanks to YouTube.

[thegirl44]

@vampyros1

I don't consider the media to be a political power, myself, but I get it.

We've always gone for the lowest common denominator, even when Zappa was living (FZ warned us about those cocksuckers at Warner in the 70's and now WMG owns most of my childhood nostalgia) and I don't expect that to change.

[vampyros1]

@thegirl44 Well, you said "social and political views"; the long ago 'wild' antics of a rebellious FZ are so benign by todays standards that he wouldn't even be considered a 'player' were there to exist any such media agenda to temper cultural subversives. The scum record companies are getting reamed now (and, unfortunately, musicians too); they'll never be caretakers of your memories or nostalgia.

[oatstao]

@bakabana1966 all the better for music lovers over the globe. It's a freaking shame most of the better Zappa docs were aired only in Europe but youtube is smashing the private stashes and channel blocked circuits..for now anyways..so download this stuff while you can!

[ludy39]

we all are  made of the same substance of Frank Zappa

[jasmincar]

that's the best documentary on youtube on there

[jasmincar]

you wish

[letmehearsomething]

oh yeah sorry he had no heart or liver or lungs. He's a new breed of species

[jasmincar]

what are you talking about?

[letmehearsomething]

I don't know but why are the sg years better than anything going on in the industry.

[jasmincar]

this is total non-sense lol

[Mick342]

Yeah so Am I......Lawn Mowers And Cheese.

[GreggaryPeccary]

AS Frank Zappa. Anyway, its not true

[SgtTravisBickle]

So much great footage must be sitting in a vault somewhere because I've never seen any of this stuff before...and that's a crime. They should be selling this stuff somewhere.

[Metallimeister]

most of the performance here is available on the dub room special (DVD)

[thespewking]

grappig,

Duke plays his solo..

pijltje volume omhoog, hahaha NICE

VOLUME TO ITS MAX !!!

[dartson]

Great doc!

[Mungo10]

It's interesting to see that they appear to be being interviewed in Frank's basement. Thanks for posting this

[bakabana1966]

VPRO is Holland's most progressive tv-station,

Dutch tv is quite progressive anyway, last week Lou Reed was here and he was in 4 different tv-programs (the eight o'clock news included), sometimes i'm proud to be Dutch !!

[flowerpunkchip]

thank you thank you for posting this, put a huge smile on my face, you a get a gold star from me

[pavelromul]

[khmdz]

Malcolm McNabb plays "Bebop Tango" on his recent CD: malcolmmcnab dot com

[rustymurphy]
