A really, really solid and heartfelt rendering of a great piece from the greatest prog band that ever was. Kudos. Truly inspiring. Just an amazing "multitasking" job by the Kerry fill-in. He hits EVERYTHING important in the basic arrangement. Trumpet and flute parts included! Wow! Just Wow!

Upon cursory examination... this young fellows time remains surprisingly solid in spite of his periods of exaggerated motion. I say, let him have fun and feel the music as he wishes whilst providing the somewhat obligatory display of magnified enthusiasm for an arena sized audience. These guys ar...

Good job. Some of the note choices in the sweep picking sections should be reviewed. Pretty impressive manual dexterity and phrasing overall, and a nice resonant emotional approach in the legato sections. Keep going!!!

Great job Kiddo! Not a particularly easy piece of Zappa music. Kudos to you. You did the work! Best regards!

Be a lot better if it wasn't wildly vari-speeding up and down by over a half step in the front third of the song. Insane. Is no one hearing this?

Hilariously. It's the DRUMMER who actually NAILS Andy Parker's parts. Just a carbon copy. Kudos. Parker has a deceptively simple playing pocket. Everybody else is basically OK as well. Notable exception is the singers a little tone deaf on the basic melody. He has the range and the right tone to ...

Fucking hilarious. Sick. Sick. Sick.

And in closing: Prairie has some decent fills in the holes, but he basically gaffing his way through the groove, which is a paradiddle based unison hand foot thing. I can't hear Kasim on the laptop, so we'll give him the benefit of the doubt. I had a band in HS in 1979 which played a more solid v...

Best new prog band in 20 years. Easy.

This record KILLS me.

@KipperBlatsy Can this be true? I mean... honest question here... please direct me to a YouTube video where I can SEE and HEAR these hip-hop musicians performing this EXTREMELY demanding music you speak of with virtuoso solo performances. Not being contentious, genuinely curious and hopeful. I j...

Massively under-rehearsed "jam" version. Meh. Especially PP, who I would have expected to KILL this song.

Amazing Giant track from a great record. This song is actually a leftover from Power and the Glory!! Greens wah solo is hair raising.

Thought is was gonna be a Mahavishnu Orchestra cover.

@NightmareGbg Well, you certainly didn't want to get in FRONT of one of them in aerial combat. Devastating forward firepower for the day. Hence the later successes as night fighters when retrofitted for nocturnal bomber destruction runs.

Outstanding young player. End of story.

Hilariously great. Haven't heard it in 35 years.

Hey Dad! The kids playing is hilariously adept and worldly from a technical standpoint. However: Word to the wise: Make sure you steer him towards MUSIC, with a well rounded listenership and appreciation of what's out there... not just speedy drumming and staggered and syncopated breaks. Later, n...

This guy really turned it on in the last 6-8 years. Lotta great stuff here that goes way beyond grandstanding/showmanship. His heel-toe doublestroke and swiss triplet kick drum stuff has pretty serious execution. As does the dueling hi- hats section. Just this little segment alone represents a tr...

Ripping rendition. Nearly perfect from a technical keyboard perspective. Orchestra is fairly tight as well. All comes down to the conducting. Which is OK considering that Hough leans WELL over the bar in so many spots and it's like keeping a rocket propelled golf cart EXACTLY 10 inches away from ...

He's gonna be great. Just don't ever let it stop being fun for him. Kudos Jonah and mentor.
