The magic of Zappa in The New York album. Off the charts musicianship including the Brecker Bros and SNL horn sections. Blistering jazz fusion instrumentals and hilarious comedy and the amazing voice of Ray White.
Gotcha brother! I saw you trying to hold the laughter back, this was definitely comedic theater. The Devil was Terry Bozzio,. the drummer, and the girl in the audience who he asked to come up on stage to hold his 'pickle' was his wife Dale. They went on to form their own band, Missing Persons, and I do think you did a reaction to them too. Now, the next one on my request list will be the polar opposite to this one. Time for a dose of Zappa as a symphony orchestral composer. For those who know FZ, it is a song he played with his band, but rearranged for a full orchestra.
I promise not to come in your mouth from the same album is the pinnacle of Zappa's writing skills. Never heard anything like in in my life and I believe I know some shit. It has a definite classical/rock/jazz vibe and musicality out of this world too.
He did EVERY GENRE of music. Do through his catalogue sometime. He did Rap, Rock, Jazz, Hip-hop, Even Proto Dubstep. Think of something, he did it. And composer.
Zappa's early live performances with the original Mothers of Invention were as much performance art with sound effects as they were concerts. They even included a lot of audience participation.
i believe there is film of this show, and this song. Sophomore year of college, fall 1978,10 pm every night, this song, the slightly edited version that appeared on the LP, was played a FULL volume on my floor, by a neighbor, and about 95% of the residents would join in at full throat. It was a "study break", or something like that.
Okay as someone who has had personal experience at a live Frank Zappa show let me tell you something, you're exactly right, you wish you could have seen this performance live!!! You are in luck though if you go and see the movie "baby snakes" they do a rendition of this song from a Palladium 1980 concert if I'm not mistaken from New York City!!! But stuff like someone passing Zappa a note in the middle of the concert or throwing stuff like joints up on stage was very common Occurrence at a Frank Zappa show!!! Halloween shows that he did through the late 70s and early 80s in New York City were unlike anything you've ever seen in your life let me just put it that way!!!
I saw him at the Uptown Theater in Chicago, 1979 ( I think ) and they had clothes lines across the stage for the lady's in the audience to contribute to.
I can't believe you're doing this.. I saw Frank and Terry Bozzio do it in 77 at the Pallladium in N.Y.. Frank's annual Halloween show. I was 5th row. They were filming "Baby Snakes" that night. Those lights are hot as hell🔥 when their filming. Frank does put on an outrageous crazy insane show. 5th row is close in that theater. So glad I got the chance to see him. I saw him again the next year. My favorite album is Apostrophe then Over-Nite Sensation. One Size Fits All is great with Chester Thompson on the drums who went on to tour with Genesis and worked with King Crimson. Two huge Progressive Rock Bands. Check out their 70's stuff. Forget Genesis in the 80's.. Early 70's is where they were great.
Interesting that you would say it's more like Theater which a lot of Frank Zappa's live concerts were very much like theater!!! Lots of audience participation!!!! Might I suggest live at the Fillmore East 1971 Zappa and the Mothers of Invention!! One of Zappa's earliest examples of theater and it is hilarious!!! Also Roxy & elsewhere from 1974!!! Great bit in that one about smoking dope wrapped in a high school diploma!!! I see you have reacted to quite a bit of Frank Zappa but I'm not sure if you have heard any from Roxy & elsewhere or the live at the Fillmore East album!! Check them out either in your spare time or on your channel but you won't be disappointed!!
He has done cheepnis, orange county lumber truck, and more trouble every day from the Roxy sessions. The problem with Fillmore East '71 is that it works better as a whole, rather than lopping off one song at a time. Some feel that particular band was cursed, maybe because he pushed the lyrics a little too far, Magdalena was a song about pedophilia. It was also the band that lost their equipment when the venue they were playing burned down (but it did inspire the rock classic Smoke on the Water) and it was the band on stage when FZ was attacked by a fan and ended up in a wheelchair for a year. For a one song at a time reactor, you got to pick and choose songs that stand perfectly alone, and there are plenty. It also leaves out a lot, like say...Don't Eat the Yellow Snow, without Nanook, St Alphonso, and Father Oblivion, it is incomplete.
Hey Teez... A live version of this you say?... here ya go… th-cam.com/video/WzzWEeiUf3Y/w-d-xo.html. enjoy As for Frank as a stand-up comedian... I was just thinking about this yesterday. Frank was friends with Lenny Bruce and they did some shows at the Fillmore West with Lenny Bruce that opened the show for the Mothers. I think that Frank secretly wanted to be a stand-up comedian, and he found a way to incorporate his comedy into his music. But he realized that he would NEVER be taken seriously, once he started to have success as a "Comedy act"... so... he seperated the two worlds of his music. There was the "Comedy Music" that would have extremely complicated music... or not...lol. And then there was the "Serious Music" which might have funny titles for the peices (Eat that question , Twenty small cigars, G-spot Tornado, I promise not to come in your mouth, Fithy Habits) They might have quirky album covers for an instrumental album (Hot Rats, Grand Wazoo, Uncle Meat, Burnt Weeny Sandwich) ...all four of those albums have songs with lyrics on them... but not many. But the fact remains that THOSE albums have to be listened to as musical expressions... with very little comedy. And THOSE albums are the ones where Zappa was at his most pure form... when he WASN'T trying to be a stand-up comic. And there was still humor in the music. Having said that... I never laughed as hard at a rock concert as I did with Frank Zappa.
The early Mothers were actually quite a bit of theater interspersed with awesome virtuoso musicianship. It is still true for me, I can't listen to FZ without being left in a great mood.
Enjoying your site ! Don't know if you've heard Frank Zappa's " (and The Mothers Of Invention) "Inca Roads " from One Size Fits All record . Keyboards and vocals by the late great George Duke . I saw the tour to promote this record in November of 75 at the Auditorium Theater in Chicago. My favorite Zappa record !
There are many versions of Frank's conversation with the devil (this one is the worst but there is a video with Frank and Terry in the mask). In one of them Frank argues that he is good enough to go to hell because after all he has already been there : "Alright, lemme tell ya somethin' Alright! I'll prove to you that i'm bad enough to go to hell Yeah! Because i have been through it! Yeah! I have seen it! Yeah! It has happened to me! Yeah! Remember, i was signed with warner brothers For eight fuckin' years!!!"
Hey Teez, my name is Nate!! I’m a huge Zappa fan, and I challenge you to react to a sound collage that Zappa did on his album We’re Only In It For The Money called The Chrome Plates Megaphone Of Destiny! There are many different sides to Zappa as u already know, but this song and album were a satire on both the Beatles and the hippie movement. And this album came out around the time the Beatles White album came out in 1968. This song is the last track on that album.... and more like a sound collage than a song lol!
In a 1979 interview Frank Zappa described his music as a cross between journalism and Vaudeville. He was always interjecting politics into his music and in Titties and Beer he names Richard Nixon and his disgraced VP Spiro Agnew. The Vaudeville portion of the song is over the top as drummer Terry Bosio dons a Devil mask and I believe Frank wore a cape in some performances.
You HAVE to do Cruising for Burgers. After the theatre, one of the ultimate Zappa grooves. The version from the dame set that follows straight after Titties & Beer
Another hilarious live performance from this Zappa era. Terry Bozzio was just the perfect jester for this kind of shit. Yet as always an amazing musical performance from everyone overall. Shame Zappa died just when I was starting my own journey into his discography. Check out the live version of Punky's Whips with an almost naked Terry Bozzio, it's just mind blowing !
The Illinois Enema Bandit was from the same concert. Don Pardo (who Frank met on Saturday Night Life and was a famous announcer voice on NBC) was at that Halloween concert and did the lead-in to that song. You should just listen to the whole album to get a feeling for what a live Zappa show was like including how he often segues from one song into another without stopping. Zappa learned his stagecraft working night after night in NY at the Garrick Theater during the early sixties and one show was never anything like another.
I love seeing you listening to this and just imagine...when I first heard this I was a 12 year old. Love you and thanks for posting! P.S. The lead singer of this band is the gal holdin the devils pickle. th-cam.com/video/m17rt_xo9x0/w-d-xo.html
1. This is from the last night of the Xmas '76 residency at New York Palladium, but the best versions of this song happened later, in 1977-78, when the improvised part expanded and, at times, instead of the usual in-jokey banter, Frank and Terry seemed to be carrying on a real argument through the imagery of the song (Paris, Edinburgh). There were also versions in late '77 where he used that part of the song to pursue his vendetta against Warner Bros Records - imagining how he would torture and kill a WB executive, or going into some detail about the need for an antitrust investigation into WB and their lawyers. 2. That particular version of Cruising For Burgers is well worth hearing - the Frank/Terry/Patrick power trio in full force 3. Did you try to upload a Purple Lagoon reaction and get blocked - or am I confused?
Wow this was an odd pick haha - these kinds of skits have been a part of Zappa's live shows since the beginning and some are better than others but it's a part of the live Zappa experience
The “devil “ was Terry Bozzio, outstanding drummer, still active. The Dale he calls out in dialogue is his future wife Dale, who was lead singer of “Missing Persons”
@@elysehfm8797 it was also released on the baby snakes soundtrack which was from a live 77 performance (which is also now on the Halloween 77 box set) also the version on this video has different edits of the same song to confuse matters even more ;-)
Funny you mention theater and comedy, which perfectly sums up much of Zappa’s appeal. Ironically though, when he hosted SNL- the most famous comedic theater show of our times- he bombed historically. The cast hated him (even though they were fans of his music) as he was remarkably stiff and un-funny and constantly went off script and broke the 4th wall. He’s remembered as one of the all-time worst hosts. Strange how that went down. I would have thought he’d have killed.
From the same album, you must listen to "The Purple Lagoon", a 17-minute epic masterpiece... only when you listen you need to keep reminding yourself that this is live, in front of thousands of fans. Zappa's bands were tighter than an 80-year old virgin's coochie. lolol
Tee, and thousands of others, missed Frank's genius; no one, and i mean no one, put on as tight a live performance and whatever version of the mothers that backed him up.

The magic of Zappa in The New York album. Off the charts musicianship including the Brecker Bros and SNL horn sections. Blistering jazz fusion instrumentals and hilarious comedy and the amazing voice of Ray White.
And the world famous Terry Bozzio!!!
I saw three of those shows in two nights. And Don Pardot was great.
Zappa is a master musician ! Everybody needs to check out more !
I was there on a Halloween night in the 70's at the Palladium in NYC... Zappa and the Mothers were brilliant
I fuckin love Zappa! I remember the first time I heard this. The manager of my first band played it for me. I was laughing my ass off.
Man this was something else 😂😂😂🤣🤣 not a bad combination 😂
Gotcha brother! I saw you trying to hold the laughter back, this was definitely comedic theater.

Life is insane.
@Zolar Czakl wrong no prize
I promise not to come in your mouth from the same album is the pinnacle of Zappa's writing skills. Never heard anything like in in my life and I believe I know some shit. It has a definite classical/rock/jazz vibe and musicality out of this world too.
Ha ha! I KNEW you were going to do this one eventually!
😂😂😂🤣🤣
👍🏻👍🏻😂😂
Halloween at the Palladium. Great times.
He did EVERY GENRE of music. Do through his catalogue sometime. He did Rap, Rock, Jazz, Hip-hop, Even Proto Dubstep. Think of something, he did it. And composer.
Frank Zappa was at least 4 generations ahead of time.
Theatrically hilarious 😂 great reaction Teez 👍❤️
It was this funky groove hook that got me to the world of Frank Zappa. You're right on.
Zappa's early live performances with the original Mothers of Invention were as much performance art with sound effects as they were concerts. They even included a lot of audience participation.
I agree but this video has nothing to do with The Mothers lol
I know this album and this song, so when I saw this thumbnail and the look on your face I just started laughing out loud.
Classic! Happy that someone did a reaction video on this one. Well played sir!
You just heard Zappa. He was what he was. No other description for him works to describe his music. It just is.
i believe there is film of this show, and this song. Sophomore year of college, fall 1978,10 pm every night, this song, the slightly edited version that appeared on the LP, was played a FULL volume on my floor, by a neighbor, and about 95% of the residents would join in at full throat.

I saw 4 shows that year at the Uptown and the playlist was different for each one.
@@barrywilson1294 Wow! The one show I saw there was fantastic! I saw Jean Luc Ponty at the Uptown also. Great venue!
Yeah, we saw "Angel" open for Be Bop Deluxe & Blue Oyster cult. Punky was very pouty indeed.
That sounds amazing. Love Bill Nelson.
Bill Nelson is the shit
Nomads ...a local n y bike gang
That was real.
Teeez! ....the teezmiester! Ykwita!(you know what I'm talking bout! Lol!!
there is a video of this performance on youtube, another song from this same night which is my personal favorite is Punky's Whips
If you want to see the whole concert, pull up Baby Snakes! The entire show is there!
I'm watching this at 4 AM. You better be fucking grateful lol
..and a few months later, 3 AM. Progress!
...5 AM this time. Progress was not had.

@@Peter-K Good point but he could always check it out on his own time if he's interested in Zappa.
@@Peter-K True
My favorite version is from Philly 76, with the great Lady Bianca as 'Chrissy'. It's titled something like 'Chrissy puked twice' and it is awesome !!!
Zappa was some of the silliest music and some of the most amazing weird impossible music. Never knew what was coming next.

Why was he nuts?
@@garryfitzgerald6233 Not clinically "nuts", but he was brilliant, eccentric, eclectic
There are a ton of interviews with Zappa, and he is a comedian. A very serious one.
My all time favorite Composer 🎼🎼🎼🎼and Guitarist......🎸🎸🎸🎸
FZ...his musicians just unreal. Love FZappas story tellin'& his characters. Lyrics are spot on...Many True Word Spoken In Jest !!!!!

Love when Terry played with Frank
This is hilarious as hell! Thank you!!
Watch the concert video of this song.terri bozio on drums plays the devil in this video.great stage presents
I heard the performance was amazing, I hate that I was never able to attend a live show, this is my favorite song by Zappa
This is actually part of a longer song, called Chrissy Puked Twice, which explains what is going on, as the take LSD!
