Frank Zappa - The Torture Never Stops (From the DVD)

http://www.eagle-rock.com/artist/70E590/Frank+Zappa


Frank Zappa's New York Halloween 1981 concerts were filmed Live at The Palladium. This 'thing' entitled "The Torture Never Stops" was created in its entirety by FZ from the original concert production and intended by the Artist as one of 3 Television Specials. This is the longest version of the three - the others, "You Are What You Is" and "Dumb All Over", having actually aired. Halloween was Frank Zappa's favourite holiday, and New York was the site of Frank Zappa Halloween concerts for years! The billion and a half airings by MTV of the concerts (non-edited) followed on closely from the release of the double album "You Are What You Is" in September of that year on Frank Zappa's own recently founded and thoroughly independent label, Barking Pumpkin. Much of the set list is drawn from that work. All Frank Zappa shows were unique experiences with Zappa on guitar and baton, leading his band on flights of improvisation and drawing ever more intense performances from them. "The Torture Never Stops" cements Zappa's reputation as one of the most innovative and challenging composers and performers of the 20th century.

Frank Zappa: Yo Steve Vai, you wanna be in my band?

Steve Vai: Oh, you need me to play some hot lead guitar?

Frank Zappa: Fuck that, I need you to yell and scream between some verses.

My friends and I bought this record when it was fairly new out, and one of the girls lived in her parents' garage. She was playing this song really loud one night and someone called the cops because they thought someone was being tortured......

@aknfjoshmiller FZ: No, Steve, the hot licks are my job.

I'm a big fan of this guitar solo. I also love Ray White's singing and guitar playing. Outstanding. I prefer 72-76 but this stuff is amazing.

Hammersmith Odeon in London 1976... touring band included Eddie Jobson of ROXY MUSIC... FZ played an SG gibson... which he wore all through the song and he even played a few cords while singing... an unusually serious performance of this piece, very much like his, nearly solo, studio recording of this in Zoot Allures. And no ...VAI !
