The drumming while Frank was playing the lead is really spectacular. With Zappa it gets to the point we need to listen to the same song enough to follow each instrument. The '70s were a good decade for all music. Glad I lived it. It's never been the same since.
The female voice you hear is that of "Mary"one of the characters from Joe's Garage . It's Dale Bozzio, wife of Terry Bozzio at the time and lead singer from the band "Missing Persons" ... And the lead singer is Ike Willis( Joe). there are other characters that you will follow throughout this masterpiece...
It's difficult to only do one title from Joe's Garage, Frank has made an album which has real continuity, the titles are intertwined with each other, there is a narrator, to appreciate and understand totally his work you have to take it in its entirety, I promise you, you won't regret it!!!!
@@jessem470I just listened, I'm going to do that seriously...but on the first listen I didn't catch some of songs ( albums) , there are some very short ones... I'll tell you ! Thanks!;) PS: If you don't already know check: keep it greasey vocal outttakes;-) on silent markus It's very short but it makes me smile every time
You didn’t say a word for 7 minutes. That’s gotta be a record. Yes this is fire. One of my all time favorites. It’s like the ultimate combination of ADD and focus that you’ve ever heard. And yes you have to do the whole album.
Try listening to this in 1979 when it first came out, comparing it to everything else in "pop" music at that time. Let's see. The Knack "My Sharona" was big. "Tragedy" by Bee Gees. "I Will Survive"... you get the picture.
This album is a good example of a phenomenal guitar work, in each song it is just fantastic. Joe's garage is one of the best things I have ever heard. Thank you! Yes, do the whole album, it's conceptual. Enjoy!
There are so many gems everywhere but JG neads a through listen..its a build and a consept..the essens of Zappa lyrical and musical Said in the beggining of your tripp, but its the fat wealthy hippies that keep you going. Thank you for doing what you do!
Some friends and I once spent a whole night listening to this album over and over, and I didn't even notice. The slightly more together friend who just kept turning the albums over in sequence, and the LSD made for one hell of a night.
I read that for this Joe's Garage set, Zappa used "Zenochrony" : Inserting random previous guitar solos from his tours and inserting them in places where he thought they would fit. They might be in different times, different keys. Extremely creative technique if you can get it to work.
Frank Zappa was unique in all aspects, his compositions showed a technique useen in other rock artists, the contrasts and shifting a different instrumentation to other. Not talking about the lyrics which are very unsual in comparison to other artists typically of the genre.Thanks for the reaction👏🏻👍✌👌🎵🎶🎸
(1.) During the closing section - the part Rory liked best - Joe, in his imagination, is "working himself into a frenzy" on guitar whilst "playing" nothing in particular. Between that and the fact he's singing a curse on imaginary journalists, we can tell Joe's at the nadir of his post-gang-rape descent into insanity. He's just about to have his moment of clarity where he starts to recover. Cue the next song - Watermelon In Easter Hay. (2.) The song gradually came together between 1975 and 1978 (live bootleg collectors can spot bits of lyric, spare riffs). (3.) The guitar solo is a comp of highlights from two solos from the 1979 tour, xenochronised to a new rhythm track. (4.) Arguably the best version of the song is from the Halloween 1978 gig (on YT), even with the rhythm section suddenly slowing down near the end due to encroaching exhaustion - 'cause it has Zappa and Shankar trading licks at length, ending as always with their anything-you-can-play-I-can-play-faster routine.
The great Arthur Barrow on bass. The title track itself came from Arthur just shooting the breeze with Frank, talking about his own early experiences playing music next to a beat up car in the garage. Next thing you know, Frank comes back with a song and worked out the whole story from there. Arthur Barrow was one of Frank's "clonemeister" duty guys. That's quite an honor and responsibility. His book is really good. Not only about his time with Frank but an overview of his entire life in music.
The interesting thing here is that Zappa worked as this meta construction and pinpointing this with the The Central Srutinizer on this album. Taking this high point view and looking down. And yes the album is a masterpices. After you listened to the interview with Tommy Mars that I sent you, you will have a totally different understanding of Zappa, which goes beyond his music. Thanks Rory!
Album is a total masterpiece.

And I think that Zappa reached his climax guitar wise around 1979 with Colauita and Barrow as the backing
@@martinroland His playing in the '80s was quite good. Not a big Barrow fan. Fowler was the better player. Thunes would be my second choice.
Vinnie Colaiuta's playing and the production on the drum track mind blowing - one of the best sounding drum recordings ever for me

Frank,s brain knows every note that he wants played! His fingers are in sync with his brain! A true virtuoso!!😊
how genius is that? Unbelievable!
End of song he references Elegant Gypsy by Al di Meola
Al Di Meola is another guitarist to explore maybe even the Elegant Gypsy Suite
Another great Italian...
MUSIC IS THE BEST !

Who can resist a song with the line "he really needs to squat on the cosmic utensil"

"Journalism's kinda scary and of it we should be wary "
A true visionary
Gotta listen from start to finish for it to make sense
I would love to see your reaction to the entire "Joe's Garage" rock opera

Xenochrony with an X ;)
Oh, I did a "Z" didn't I? So much for my effort to try to impart something interesting! Thanks for the correction!@@Euclid-wz6ju

Thanks Rory for Joe's Garage, the whole album is top ! viva Zappa !
Please do « he used to cut the grass »
proper face melter.
Joe’s Garage is peak FZ.
The stuff from the 50s we called do uop
The guitar solos are excerpt from at least 2 live shows. FZ did very few solos in studio.

Do it!
My favorite Joes Garage track
And top 10 Frank All Time
Go Vinny
And as Petit said its got to whole album review
"Wisdom" is the domain of the Wis. Which is extinct
You need to read the album sleeve and listen from the begining Joes Garage is 3 acts that tell a story
This is ANOTHER song where the BASS is the glue. Same Bassist as Shut up and play yer guitar Some More.
The great Arthur Barrow on bass.
The title track itself came from Arthur just shooting the breeze with Frank, talking about his own early experiences playing music next to a beat up car in the garage.
Next thing you know, Frank comes back with a song and worked out the whole story from there.

Please please please do the album Rory !😁
Most likely same 5 i missed
Although i did miss #1 because i got wrong track but obviously right album
Hi its me, the girl from the bus
Nobody will ever be able to reproduce zappa on guitar. He was so weird.
Only mildly funny . Musically interesting .
