Frank Zappa: Does Humor Belong In Music?

This live album of highlights from one of rock legend Frank Zappa's final tours was filmed in New York in the summer of 1984. One of the most prolific artists of his time, Zappa was a satirist who wrote lyrics of questionable taste and whose music paid homage to every genre, from contemporary classical music to the guitar-heavy rock of the '70s. Tracks include "Zoot Allures," "Keep It Greasey," "Tinsel-Town Rebellion" and more.

This video of absolute horrid quality has been removed due to a copyright claim by Gail Zappa and her greedy kids

@analyzingfunny This was a digital copy of a VHS tape from the early 80s. Quality is not perfect. If the Zappa estate asks me to remove this video, I will do so.

thank god, this video is finally to be find here. To be fuc....up cause of quality is boaring. Just take your chance to be aware of a document of historical meaning. This one is funny, intelligent and well played music. Its never been topped by anything comparable. Zappa is saying what he thinks and everyone is following him if you just look to the musicans. He`s the director and mastermind of a theater of life. The implementation is superb.
