[Hendrixblues123]

is the second guy from the roght on the first picture jimi hendrix ?

[timmo1782]

@Hendrixblues123 yep, and it's not a waxwork!

@Hendrixblues123 -It'll be a cardboard cut-out of Hendrix- Seeing as it's a send up of Sgt Peppers lp artwrok and artist Peter Blake used cut-outs in that

[timmo1782]

@keltyk like i said above, it is the real jimi, he was friends with frank.

[TonyNewman]

Hey timmo, is this the remastered version of this bootleg or the original?

[timmo1782]

@TonyNewman dunno, mate sorry!

[TheJoshuajakucewicz]

I love when zappa let's go of his bitterness and just plays. No satire, no snarls. Too bad music has a business.

Sometimes I become sentimental over The Master's beautiful music. Thank you for the music, Frank!

[mewrth]

I love Jimmy and Art's drumming on this version

[rickariche]

@timmo1782 Zappa was even amazing at that, putting the real Jimi on his album cover, and I think they guy on Jimi's left was Noel, was he?

[Ikonoclasto]

I am

[smileyssmile]

I could cry, this song is beautiful

[MinirampMeltdown]

@keltyk that's jimi. it's definitely not a cardboard cutout, i've seen video of this photoshoot and he was moving and walking around. the video is on here, it's one of the ruth underwood videos

Didn't take the time to read through all the comments; where did this recording come from? I don't know what official release it would have been, it's not on any of mine, and it's too clean sounding to be a bootleg.

It is proof, The Mothers could play beautifully, despite being called "a bunch of tone-deaf perverts," as I have heard them called.
