@paullubliner yes, that's why i'm here! don't get to hear Jeff do a whole lot of comping, but he's a master at that too. His solo on this one rips me apart too.

@Pleepleus NOBODY makes Zappa look like a slacker.

@RachEspinosa I love that moment too, it's like "ooh, they liked that one!"

@PianoGirl555 i think he's doing it to set up the end, when the right hand gets set off by half a beat and the left hand is written staccato. In my opinion, by playing it that way from the get go, it sounds a bit more natural when the hands split 1'25''. Also, the staccato throws the times he do...

@fredericfranc take a look at the score sometime if you get a chance. Not only is it pretty specifically worked out (i.e. all the pitches and rhythms are composed) but I doubt someone lacking inspiration would do the work required to put such a score together. IMHO the "aleatorism" came from a ...

@LuneyTune72 He also gave TONS of interviews, so I'm sure he got tired of answering the same questions for the millionth time.

@IwshIcldstrtover Commie? He did a LOT of work encouraging venture capitalism in eastern Europe and the former soviet union in the 80s, even starting a company to further the aim. He was a strident capitalist. And sane, to boot.

amazing!! many thanks. Does anybody know why Zappa started playing the mini strat? He had pretty giant fingers, so i couldn't imagine it was for ergonomic reasons.

@jihanqueen artists aren't given gifts. They work their asses off to develop skills, often because they have a powerful need, either to express something, or for love and attention and starhood, or to improve their lives. If they achieve success, they often find that the need doesn't go, and so...

@WannaGee First three are Bb 12-13 (Bb, Ab, D, F-G)( F-G meaning play F then G on top of the Bb 7) then A 13 with a b9 (A, G, C#, F Bb) then D minor 7 (D, A, C, F, A) It's a rad intro.

@Jesusophile Because they were clean and vapid, which is how America likes it pop stars. "Nothing scares the shit out of Americans more than real excellence, because they have been bred to appreciate the success of the mediocre." FZ

@RockinBeats17 really? The somerset house set has some pretty damn good singing, imho.

@AdobePhsyko Jeff Beck claims to have a book from the 1940s (!) by Ben Webster that describes a number of tapping techniques

@oldmanwyatt gotta spot that gets me hot (ooh!) but you ain't been to it...

@acousticgrooven @acousticgrooven Me too. To know that he had scheduled studio time with Miles Davis and Gil Evans before his death is almost torture. I can't even conceive of how amazing that collaboration would have been!

@tomthefunky I wouldn't say Cropper was on Hendrix's level as an improviser and soloist, but IMO he was a more mature musician, and a better ensemble player. That being said, I think since Hendrix had to do so much backup work before going solo, when he did get his own band it was like a dam bur...

@bluescaster64 I beg to differ. Saw Jeff Beck live about a year ago and let me tell you- tone is alive and well!

@johnbicket because there's a light that goes on that says "applause" and americans (and I'm one) have been aggressively trained to obey anything we're told.

This really isn't a christian nation. The founding fathers were deists and materialists, NOT christians. "Millions of innocent men, women and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined, imprisoned; yet we have not advanced an inch towards uniformity. What...

@ranckgarman Gotta disagree. The BBC version is flat out better. I know, lots of my fellow Americans like the US one better, but the original is such a subtle, complete, well-paced work of art that they really aren't in the same class. Just the background action and the way they play with the ...

Anybody know which album that version of summertime is on?

You know nothing

@LightninBoyHopkins He wasn't a leftist, he was a practical conservative. As he says in The Real Frank Zappa Book "I would like to see a smaller government and lower taxes. What, you too?"

@VamLoveAndKisses I don't think so, I know he took a TON of pills.

@bizu1 so true! Zappa's like John Lee Hooker or Portishead,(not musically of course.) If at all possible, you've gotta get the vinyl. On a different note, I love playing this for people then seeing the look on their face when I tell 'em it's Zappa.

Damn! Dweezil rips! Anybody know how old he was at the time?

...got a nice pompadour job on it...

Thanks for the upload! Been looking for this ever since I read it was one of Zappa's favorites growing up. Great to hear.

@ThirdMother you're right. On closer inspection not as similar as I remembered. Something about the 'cosmic slop' cover and the 'over-nite sensation' and 'one size fits all' fold out just reminded me of each other.

@lowercasejs Don't know if you mean "never was" forgiven, or never was arrogant, but if you meant the latter you are mistaken. Read just about anything from his band members, and they'll tell of an out of control ego that took a private jet while making his band take a run down bus, that would i...

@hugatag Tal's amazing, but honestly, I saw him live with her and then again with Rhonda, and IMHO Rhonda is a big step up. I do wish Vinnie Colaiuta had been able to stick with Jeff, but apparently Vinnie has tendonitis and had to give his hands a break.

Wow! Never figured Jeff for a scat play guy...different strokes, I suppose.

@uptightkid I don't think so at all. I mean, he's travelling the world being hit on by all sorts of beautiful women, his wife isn't there, what's he supposed to do? You only live once. Besides, I don't think anybody marries a touring musician expecting fidelity. However, I will concede that it...

@bramley1001 Very true! Peter Grant had been following them too, and even tried to become Jeff's manager. It was only when Grant realized that wasn't going to happen that he approached Page about managing him and forming a loud, over the top blues band.

@superagnitio not strictly house, but the albums you had it coming, jeff and who else have major electro influences.
