@tab1990 It actually sounds like the beginning of The Gumbo Variations from Hot Rats. Doesn't mean it is though because Zappa Does alot of improvs in all of his shows.
-
its amazing how frank taught himself
-
Yes, it sounds like Transylvania Boogie. You can hear it on "Ahead of their time" and "Chunga's Revenge".
-
That's Transylvania Boogie!
-
although some people have already identified this as an improv from a live show, it sounds a little like Orange County Lumber Truck from Weasels Ripped My Flesh. i can see why you'd be desperate to hear this in full. such a funky bit of guitar playing.
-
Again, I kept my maiden name when I married and as I tend to piss off some unpredictable people on this site, as my page illustrates, I don't like giving out any potentially identifying info.
I can tell you that he's one of three men who worked for FZ as his live sound engineer between 1974 and 1992, he isn't gay and he never engineered any of Zappa's studio albums. You should be able to find the info on any FZ website (eg. Kill Ugly Radio) from those clues..

What was your father's name by the way?
-
This "IS" Transylvania Boogie live. There are a few different versions from 1968 - '69
-
I've kept my maiden name and I like to preserve my anonymity online, so giving my dad's name would be counter productive to that :).

It is an improvisation from the Sportpalast show in Berlin, October 16, 1968.

On that site, scroll down to "The Music Heard" section, and it's the first listing.

Sent this to my dear ole dad, who did sound for Zappa for the fist 15 years of my life and he says that it's an improv of OC Lumber Truck.

I have been trying to find out this song since 1993 when I saw this documentary and have figured out from seeing different footage he was wearing overalls and playing a gold top les paul and it was in Germany at the Rockpalist in 1968 when a riot started and they had to sneek of the stage when the crowd started rushing the stage but still dont know the song...still trying to figure that out.
