@AlexJamesOliver Talking out of my ass?!? Have you even listened to any Allman Bros music or any of Duane's session work? Zappa's solo here is equivalent to a seagull being beaten with a bagpipe. Sorry if I offended the Frank fans out there but this cover doesn't even remotely do justice to Skydog.

MINDBENDING ? I have nothing against Zappa, but this solo is just crap, sorry !

I'm a Zappa fan, but this embarrasses me.
Sure they cram more notes into the old song than the Allman Brothers Band did, but there is no soul, no pain.
Zappas tounge in cheek humor and amazing talent failed this time.

Zappa rules! Best cover ever of this un-coverable song!
-
Guess Zappa ate his own words about the Allman Brothers' music. Zappa once said that the Allman Brothers was the only band that became "camp" in their own time.

Honey Badger Zappa,, he don't care.

This is an incredible Gibson

Why all the hate? We have two masters in Frank Zappa and Duane Allman. What is interesting is that Frank Zappa chose to cover this song faithfully and without irony. Of course no one can play that lead harmony like Duane. Eric Clapton dabbled with Duane too but ultimately even he was not Duane either and moved on. I really like this song and I like Frank Zappa covering it here. Frank is explaining that Duane is not that different than prog rock and he the respects the song and its emotion. Duhh.

had he lived and experienced life from the day he died to today, I don't know if I agree w/ you. Maybe you knew the person and aren't talking out of your ass.

He sure as hell was NO DUANE BY GOD ALLMAN was he?
"Judging from the way you sang it,
it must be a John Cage composition, right?"

Yeah, I'd say this is the ultimate Zappa version of this song. The solo is MINDBENDING. Thanks for posting!
