Every musician who ever worked with Frank Zappa was amazingly talented in their own right, and this video is a tribute not only to the man himself but also his band
Love him or hate him Zappa was not only a highly accomplished musician and composer but he always recruited the best musicians to play along with him. These guys are tighter than tight despite all the ad-libbed moments. He’s not everyone’s cup of tea but I’ve learned to embrace the weirdness 👌🏻
The arrangement, the hilarious and fantastically crafted lyrics, the unbelievable musicianship displayed from everyone on stage, what a fucking brilliant performance
Nanook Rubs it Got to be one of the best ongoing blues kinda progressions. The Way he explains the Audience participation part always staying onbeat. Epic Shit
5:40 I love zappa man! Haven't seen this done in a concert since 1972 with the dead but this time. This time it was like hoorah man! Zappa does a gesture to replicate the Eskimo, and asks the crowd to join. The crowd does the gesture, except for a few people. So Zappa stops the music and asks "why aren't you two pouncing are you guys ripped?" And the camera goes to the crowd with all their hands up with the most doobies you could ever see!, when I watched this and saw all the smoke in the crowd I laughed the hardest I've ever laughed in a while! And I wanted to share the full Zappa experience with everyone man!
This suite is one of my all-time favorites. I never understood why none of his bands ever seemed to play this after it's release (at least with all the segued songs) until this point.
Yeah it’s a shame it wasn’t played often. Ycdtosa vol 1 has the best live version, but the new cobo hall show from the overnite sensation box set is pretty good
+oakenshanks Frank was very classically trained and had a host of European composers from over the past 100 years that he studied ,absorbed from and emulated. He was indeed a genius. One might think he was acting when he got the directors baton out and waved it around, but he actually knew how to use it properly- how to lead an orchestra. And Frank actually wrote orchestra compositions quite well.
+Lia Lovely Frank started to write contemporary classical music at the age of 14, and said that he didn't write a rock 'n' roll song until he reached his early 20's !
Frank took about 2 semesters at a music school, got the gist of it and went on his own with his ideas of music composition; so basically self-taught. He once described his early composing style as "getting as far out as possible with the slide rule" then said, "who cares about that stuff?" and got more involved with writing "rock 'n roll" songs. Obviously, he never abandoned his slide rule, owing to the impossible time signatures in many of his tunes.
What an incredible frontman!!! Far ahead of his time in my opinion. I was 6 years old when this came out, didn't listen to him until I was in my teens, got hooked after hearing the yellow snow ✌️
God bless you Frank What a genius you were One of my favorite clips Only thing better would be you playing guitar! You left this world way too soon. Thank you for the music you left us with
Tight as a tight thing that's so very tight !!! The bass and drums on this are sublime and help drive the band way past warp speed with Frank at the controls. RIP Frank Zappa
I'm a major zappa head and was able to recognize everyone on sight watching this video, but never new this band had 2 bassists - Arthur Barrow and Patrick O'Hearn! Really cool!
@@HakanTunaMuzik Great to know! It's hard to imagine Barrow being "not up to scratch" considering his legendary status among other zappa alumni (it's hard to get a compliment from Thunes!!). That and the fact that he was also a clonemeister. Guess I'll have to read his book to find out more! Thanks for the reply!!
This was my first concert I was 15 years old and to see Frank Zappa at such a small venue in Passaic NJ was great I wished that the Capitol Theater remained open it was a great place to see a show especially the Maestro Frank Zappa
well its been well over forty years (WoW) and why do i still come back here ? ah! frank ,frankie Mr Zappa ,the musicians favorite go to musician thats why none better remembered always
Frank all us Zappa Freaks miss u Bro ur name will live on in us who devoutly still buy and listen religiously to ur music and may it not stop!!! My daughter is the only girl of her age, 11, to no his music! !!!
Outstanding! So many gems in this treasure chest! Love seal call, Ed really gettin down, Tommy Killin it on his nanooik rubs it , so much to say, thank you very much!
this is 1978, bloody genious, what an interaction with the audience. nowhere near this sort of stuff was any fashionable at the time. the one and only Frank

Totally agree.
thin llizzy
Have to agree, this is an amazing ensemble, and they look like they are enjoying themselves.
They do indeed. Meanwhile, they are playing their collective asses off. Every Zappa alumni will say just that. Zappa was the shit!
I don't usually comment on people's profile pictures, but Deloused in the Comatorium is probably the greatest album of the 21st century
Frank Zappa is the greatest composer of the 20th century!!!!!!
God damn right
Any century,besides writing the music he assembled numerous bands that traveled around the globe at an almost unstoppable pace,.
Rachmaninoff, Debussy, Miles Davis
@@AllendeEtAl
John Zorn.
@@AllendeEtAl screw those guys
22 years old and Vinnie Colaiuta was already a phenomenal drummer.
and Dynamic Seal caller
22! Fuck! ,I got clothes older than him 😂
Kinda young, kinda wow

Hey!! I was at this show! Sometimes being old has its privileges.
do you have any Frank Zappa t shirts to sell ?
You are very lucky! I would pay anything to have been to this show or the one in Barcelona, Spain.
That's a good attitude- yeah !
iwtt !!!
GREAT GOOOOGLY MOOOOGLY
Awesome
NOW GET UP AND POUUNCE
wondered how to spell it
I can't see....
woe is me
Indeed.
16 minutes and the camera man shows the drummer, one of the best drummers in the world, exactly ZERO times!!! Great work!
like the sayin goes , give the drummer some

Tighter then Dick's hatband
Zappa was the perfect combination of musician, comedian and stage performance
The arrangement, the hilarious and fantastically crafted lyrics, the unbelievable musicianship displayed from everyone on stage, what a fucking brilliant performance
The musicianship is on another level in another galaxy; crazy good.
Nanook Rubs it Got to be one of the best ongoing blues kinda progressions. The Way he explains the Audience participation part always staying onbeat. Epic Shit
And my mama cried,YOU DON'T REALLY LOOK LIKE AN ESKIMO!
Love this version 👊
Nanuk a no no.
Why this masterpiece has this lack of views?! This suite is amazing!
People are blind ????? Maybe
How many times have you shared it?
Because today's folks live off Spacebook. Theyre so simple they cant figure out good craft when they hear it.
ssshh We're keeping it just for ourselves.
This version is as equally as enjoyable as the original, I love the alternate lines "And my momma cried","You don't really look like an Eskimo" 😂
The execution of this show is so perfect it's unbelievable. The best of entertainment which is possible to achieve in a single show
I saw Zappa twice back in the seventies,pure genius.
I just have to chime in here and state the obvious: This video is an absolute gem. Zappa never ceases to amaze me.

Read his biography, no mention of classical training. He does mention many classical influences.

SUCH A GREAT MIND....R.I.P...FRANK.....MISSING YOU.!!
God bless you Frank
What a genius you were
One of my favorite clips
Only thing better would be you playing guitar! You left this world way too soon. Thank you for the music you left us with
Yeah, I wanted to hear Him wail during the Nanuuk rubs it part.👍🏾
What an absolute gem! RIP brother. You'll live forever.

Can't believe I never caught this one Absolutely Monumentally Historic!!!!! Dweezil doing total justice to Frank's compositions! Love you both!
The "you can't do that on stage anymore, vol. 1" and this recording is a microcosm of how zappa' music progressed.
AMAZING !!!!!!!!
Well that's it. From now on, I'm going to pounce for an hour every day, then abuse a sausage patty with stolen margarine. There's just no other way.
Absolutely epic.
saw him 7 times thru the 70's....and blew me away everytime.....and at intermission he would tell them to go into lobby and register to vote
"Now what's a matter with you? Are you two ripped over there?" LMFAO! RIP Frank.
Too*
9;03.....the St Alphonso lick......with all the quick notes...is stunning
brilliant on so many levels.

I wish I could have gone back in time to this era and just travel back n forth between the Fillmore East - MSG - and The Capitol....
..ahhh Zappa is such a pleasure on all possibile fronts i swear :)))
Sampa played my alma mater..NIU. And that DeKalb Illinois frequently enjoyed extremely arctic winters, dealing with snow was a common occurrence. Our school mascot was a Husky and we were known as the Huskies.
We all got a serious kick out of don’t eat the yellow snow where the huskies go !

Light and fluffy white~ what a legend among men

Un genio Zappa!!!

Love to Frank, may he R.i. p.
Belive it or not I remember hearing this one on AM radio in the early 70's growing up in Chicago. WLS I believe it was.
