While in High School (North Hollywood) in 68 my music teacher said we have a guest today and in walks Zappa. A good hour with Zappa as he talked about everything from music to life. Great memories
I love how focused he looks on his playing, you can just tell how much the concerts meant to him in his later years leading up to his 'passing on.' Frank isn't dead, he just smells funny.
In highschool my classmates did not understand my love of Zappa's music. They would kinda look at me strange. I'm proud to say all these years later. They still look at me strange. Consistency!
Same here. I was a 15 year old girl and Nobody in the small town I lived in listened to Frank. You know I bet they never have to this day. They called me a freak and bet they still do
I would listen to Overnight Sensation, over and over. Dynamo Hum still plays in my head on occasion. I couldn't say where she's coming from but I just met a lady named Dynamo Hum.....
Weirdly I bonded with some people over Zappa. I mean I was THE guy with the Frank records and talking about Steve Vai. Geeky stuff. And Rush too, I got my bass player friend who disliked Rush to totally dig them.
In 7th grade we were allowed to bring an album in to a class to share a song , my gf and I brought in and played Suzy Creamcheese !! lol. Did not go over well !! This was in the 60's , I'm 65 now !!!
Saw him in Madrid Spain around 1979, without realizing I was at the best concert of my entire life. Now I'm 66 and his records turn my simple house into some kind of impressive palace.
Imagine showing up to work feeling as sick as frank probably did here. He dedicated his life to this. I feel grateful for people in this world who have balls and make no excuses.
His face is the color of someone on chemo. I feel for him but am so glad he celebrated his music to the end. Bless him he left us with so much, but I miss him.
Jan Myška What a privilege to be there, and at such an auspicious time (1991). Do you know of any recording of the entire event, rather than just his one song?
I first heard Zappa, Freak Out in 1966. I was a classical flute player, part time rock bass player and aspiring composer. Totally changed my life, or affirmed my life. To hear a composer, over the years, who did himself, so to speak. I realized I am not a touring band type guy. I realized I just wanted to spend my days composing, my day job. To be myself, so to speak. I got a BA and MA in composition and composed all kinds of music. I found that I loved scoring film/tv music and making my own LPs. My first score in 1974 lead me to full time scoring, 1974 to 2011. All I did was compose music for film/tv and make my own albums. in 2011 I moved into the mountains, and just make CDs of my music, I am on CD #34 now. Frank Zappa, the man and the music, helped me find my own path in life. While my music is not like Zappa, I know he would be happy that he helped me find my own path, my own music and my own voice.
Hey, my first experience with Frank was off the freak out album. In 72 I stole one of my father's albums. On the album Frank says, so I tore of the cover of a book of matches and it read: hehe whowho haha, haha. I was 6 and thought this is unique. I was hooked. Soon on the road to freaked out music. I love Capt beefheart also.
I was so lucky to have seen Frank in concert many times as a teen. A real humanist. Not just a musician. He held a giant mirror up to the world and dared each and every one of us to look deeply into it. I miss him still.
As a child, I recorded this album Absolutely Free. It was a shock to hear such unbridled psychedelia in the USSR in 1969. Frank Zappa didn’t fascinate me, but his raw, unfinished creations didn’t disappear without a trace from my memory ... Bittersweet nostalgia, 52 years have passed, but I remembered the melodies and even some phrases of the songs ..! It was an amazing experience, although I did not become a fan of them ... because in those days there was so much amazing new music every month !! It seemed to me that it will always be so ... Thanks.
Wery So. We wre.free. not in the capitalism. Frank Is freelance of capitalism only via art. That was ONLY possible! Not in the Factories&massFood-Industry
He is such a fine musician. He is an excellent player. I have always wanted to like his music, but I do not. He reminds me of the Theloneus monk of the rock genre. Too many dissident notes for my taste. Not saying I want everything in the same time sig, but it is too much for my taste.
J'ai échangé "Raw power" contre le "Grand wazoo" quand j'avais 13 ans, j'en ai 65 et je l'écoute toujours et il me surprend toujours, Dieu existe, il a été dans les doigts et les partitions de Frank pendant son cours séjour sur cette petite planète.
I first heard Frank while taking care of 40 horses at a summer camp as a young teenager. Experienced other 'experimentals' also during this time -- Frank was a musical and lyrical pioneer, am out of the box visionary in so many ways.
I am 62 and my son is 32 we listen to Frank all the time when we are together, he is a guitar teacher and metal band guitarist and I just love music and happen to grow up listening to Zappa. Saw him live twice............oh yeah!!!
The first Frank Zappa album i ever heard was joes garage. My buddies and I were all on mushrooms, and we laughed till we had stitches in our sides. That was 4 years ago, and he’s still one of my favorite artists, and a powerful creative mind. Frank Zappa was a musical genius
If you haven't seen the gig "does humor belong in music?" - get on it, first watched it 9 years ago and my friend and I were constantly going between laughing and loving the musicianship!
Can you imagine if he was live and healthy today? How much would he have changed music for the better today. A true genius 🎉❤ you frank 👏 thank you so much 🙏
So sorry you can't see pure genius when you see it, other artists played the same rifts over and over and polish and polish, Frank just played from the ❤, that's genius, the only other guitarist I can think of who did this was bb King he didn't know any keys he just played from the ❤, listening to Frank play is just mind-blowing, specially live, listening to the son doesn't take me anywhere
that's 12 tone facet of zappa.he also composes broadway style, jazz, heay metal, rock, jazz fusion and rhythm and blues. oh, also classical. depends how limited your musical horizon is. I suggest you go back to college and take some music appreciation courses so you wouldn't ask such a superficial pompous ass question with a nororiously stupid conclusion!
musical horizon? i see your a genius too....lol. maybe your just tone def...lol. your right i dont listen to that noise or play it. his guitar skills are sloppy at best. "music appreciation" ha, music is about money and fame, thats it, nothing more. real music is pretty much dead. zappa was very arrogant it seemed and seem to stir shit up and spread his hatred. this has been a trend since the 60s.
I love how he called out the Soviet troops in the crowd to "dance home to this." That was a tasteful way to comment on the situation. What an honor to perform in the midst of such a monumental world event. And they couldn't have found a better choice to perform during it. R.I.P. Zappa.
And I love how the translator completely crapped out, ignored the gist of the message and only advised the Soviet troops to dance. 91 and they were still afraid of IT.
Frank Zappa was my tennis Instructor back in the 80's. I never actually learned to play the game but , like Terry Bozzio said, " What's so great about Wimbledon, anyway?" Rock and roll. Love.
Frank was an inspiring musician, and now that he's gone, it's clear that he was an exemplary human. He showed us that it's important to respect yourself and others, no matter how they treat you - and to do your best to leave this world of ours somehow a little better than you found it. He was a helpful participant in the ongoing project we refer to as "civilization."
You wouldn't be able to see this video without the technology you have today. Don't be stupid. Technology brings advantages, not disadvantages. Think a bit before you say things
@John Bravo Alright... And how does that apply to my comment? That just seemed like random rambling. I was just criticizing the people that "miss the past". If you do miss thr 90's or the 80's, then you clearly are not up to the news in medicine and technology, because if you did, you would swallow back those words. Plus, it is kinda dumb to be saying "I miss the 80's" while typing it on a smartphone, don't you think?
I was fortunate to see him live in concert, i felt privileged, i know either love him or not, but if you didn't understand his music, you see him live, you respect his musicianship, one hell of a guitar player,&always had topnotch players, taken from us way to soon. R.I.P. FRANK ZAPPA conducting his band from HEAVEN.😇
I don't think this was his last live performance - his final appearance on stage was in September (1992) in Frankfurt, but that doesn't really matter. Frank Zappa was a truly great artist and person. The modern world desperately needs people like him.
They say Zappa was such a weirdo, yet when he is deconstructed in any way, you see a very normal, situated human being who valued his own ways of doing things more than selling out.
talk about a beautiful man, Zappa was a philosopher and unparalleled musician. The Czechoslovakians were passionate about him when they were still under the thumb of the USSR. He inspired them to persevere and this show is a celebration of their newly won freedom.
I saw Frank in the mid 80s in Md. He came out and played for almost an hour music i have never heard before or since. god i wish i had a DAT recorder on me. Blew us away.
He was a true original, from do wop , to rock and blues and jazz and classical, there was not a type of music that he did not explore with intelligence and humour
Ooh man! My dad was here, it was his second real concert (after stones) he was 26 years old. He was so exited, why not, he spent 24 years in comunism. I really dont know why I write this here...
One of the greatest artists of all times, frank zappa played the tapping tech already in 1976 two years before anyone saw or heard about eddie van halen, it was on the mike douglas show in 1976, it is on youtube, in that year he also produced the fantastic album called good singin' good playin' for grand funk railroad band, thanks for sharing and thanks to frank zappa for his crazy and amazing music
This is a super common misconception but A) zappa wasn't the first to tap and neither was EVH B) EVH never made the claim he invented it, it is often stated be popularized it which is true. I don't know why people always lie about this but it's not hidden knowledge, also the only people who care about shit like who came up with what first is usually the fans and not the super talented artists. They just like to create and share.
@@draetonalimoffatt8780 I used the name of the late and much respected EVH only for comparison, the tapping style variations existed some 80 years from today back into the 20 century, most of the players who played tapping are anonymous ones, like the italian artist who played tapping in the late sixties of the twenty century on an acoustic guitar, we can see him on youtube but it was taken from an italian tv program and his name was not contributed, i hope that i cleared my first comment, take care and god bless!
@Asunda Speed Actually no, He said many times he was not a drug user. People assumed he was because he was so wild and creative. You know his cancer was not Lung Cancer, it was prostate cancer. Which every man that lives long enough gets. Prostate cancer is a slow moving hard tissue cancer. The lesson is if you are a man get your prostate checked.
@Benjamin Maynard Frank did say it even on his death bed. He lived his life as he wanted and desired. You need to learn more about this great man. Only problem is he had a desire to not be remembered, only that his music went on. He was different no doubt.
@Asunda Speed In my opinion tobacco is the most addicting drug there is. You can tell that because when you smoke your first cigarette you cough your brains out, vomit and say never again. Then a half hour later you want another one. Your choice, not going to tell you how to live your life, as long as you don't get high and hurt someone or your family/loved ones don't suffer for your actions you are only effecting yourself. True libertarian. I used to eat hash and listen to Frank Zappa and the Mothers. I was at this very concert on Halloween in 77 at the Palladium when he did "Titties and Beer" th-cam.com/video/WzzWEeiUf3Y/w-d-xo.html Here is Frank doing one of his final interviews. th-cam.com/video/UDYzuwG-gOE/w-d-xo.html
STRATOSFERICO,,,,,,,,,,,,,,la mia generazione ha potuto ascoltare e vedere grandi del rock ,,,,,,Zappa è stato uno dei più grandi e inovativi chitarristi ,,,,,,+,,,,,, r i p Frank ,,,,
I grew up with this guy in the musical shadows. Apostrophe brought him out of the shadows for a short while. He really was a genius in many ways. Sad to see him go.
Trying to comprehend what Frank was doing has been one of my greatest musical pleasures. I've been intrigued by the complexities of his music since I was 13. I've been to Prague twice. It is a wonderful place and is uniquely Prague. This concert in 1991 was when Czechoslovakia was a brand new republic. So glad things worked out. 30+ years of freedom and counting. This was an incredible performance at a pivotal time. I'm glad I could see a part of it.
The master Frank Zappa is the other galaxy. Awesome sound. One encounter in the stars,with the hipnotic music. Flow of space,and talented in the strings like magnetic way in coming up. I like it so much. Congrat all.
I love Frank so much, the first thing that drew me to him was the way he played guitar, he seems to have no limits, no worries, no singular style to keep to a song, I love the diversity and the sheer want of exploring all of musics endless spectrums for songs. A true innovator.
I agree totally. He never played the same solo twice. His band were structured and hand picked for their skills, so Frank could noodle away to his hearts content. Every live show was different in some way. His solos were unique, and true musicians appreciate the freedom he had.
wow! i loved it!! thank you for giving us impressions of this guy, we wouldn't have heard otherwise! what a true and wonderful person! I hope that one day we'll revive this state of musical impression! thank you!
I was introduced to Zappa's music in 1975. I got to see him perform at a Halloween concert in Providence, RI in 1984, when I was a student at a local culinary school. He had an amazing talent, and was a true artist with a unique sense of humor. Thank you for your craft, Frank. You were a true inspiration .
Trying not to cry. I'm in love with what he was and what beautiful songs he left behind. His oddity was acceptable to his fans because he made it up with tracks like "Son of Mr. Green Beans", "Zoot Allures", and "I'm the slime". His live shows were never dull.
@@TarantuLandoCalcuLingus The live version is the best way to jam. I have to go through all of Joe's Garage to listen to the original because that album is amazing.
Love him or hate him there is no denying that he was an extraordinary artist. I miss him dearly. There'll never be another quite like him. Goodnight Frank wherever you are....
Back in the mid 70's Frank came to Ft. Wayne and I couldn't go. A friend went and said it sucked bad The speakers kept cutting out and and it didn't sound good. Some months later Frank came back and I went and this guy said it would suck and all was fixed that night. Frank is a Genius. Others laughed at me for seeing something in Frank Zappa only so few of us that were able to tune in to what Frank was playing. So now I'm retired sitting on my front porch playing my old Rock n Roll albums as loud as I want. Long live Rock
Just imagine for a moment that this is played on a show today not showing the musician in charge. Not too many guitar players like this around. Gadgets weren't as plentiful. Real string bending. A real talent. I will always appreciate real talent and imagination. Love you Frank Zappa. You will Live on forever in music.
I crying right now. In amazement and happiness. Beauty like this strikes me in a way I can not control. Same thing happened a bit earlier watching/listening to Stevie Vai and Al Di Meola play together.
He said it was the first time in three years he'd had a reason to pick up his guitar. Saw him at the Shoreline in St Pete, FL in '83 or '84. So glad! You Are What You Is!
Anybody would say here in the heck is this playing but if they knew what their listen to they understand they released it a bad musician of one the best
I was there aged 24....working for Prognosis the 1st English language newspaper in Prague. I had a nice camera so I was one of their photographers. I met Frank in the press conference as the only other US Citizen in the room. He was really friendly and cool to me. Sadly he was obviously quite ill but powered through his show like a champ!
One of the best undercover agents ever. His work at the parental advisory hearings was flawless. A perfect model...for those like rage against the machine to follow Kudos to Ol’ Frank for helping mold young minds
Wen I was 5...I remember looking at the album cover of Frank Zappa and The mothers.. Wondering...Why are these guys wearing frilly women's dresses? It wasn't till much later in life that I understood why! When he passed,I was invited to bon fire party. Little did i know we would end up dancing around a huge fire singing zappa songs jamming through giant speakers!!! It was wild man...WILD!!!
Zappa. No one wanted to be him, someone had to be him, so he volunteered. Thanks, Frank.
what a brilliant comment! focuses on the bravery of the man as a musician and loudmouth... there will never be another! thanks frank.
Vikings
Scott Wallace epic comment
Scott Wallace, that was the single best comment I've ever read on TH-cam. Thank you.

man, I would kill for a moment with him...I hope you keep those memorys forever!
That is the coolest thing ever
That is f***ing AMAZING!!
Lucky to have lived it
Best teacher you ever had.
I love how focused he looks on his playing, you can just tell how much the concerts meant to him in his later years leading up to his 'passing on.' Frank isn't dead, he just smells funny.
I dunno about the whole smelly part to be honest.
Good one, Logan! That's what he would say...
@@TalonsofWater Take a look at most of Frank's music title
👍Yea Jazz just smells funny💚
that's just how he normally smells. lol
Thx for so much genius Frank Zappa

"Politics is the entertainment division of the industrial-military complex". Frank Zappa.
:D so super! :D
I am soooo glad to be entertained. I just wish these public servants knew a tremelo bar from a tree stump
*military-industrial complex
yw.
Václav Haval is in the audience. He was the president of Czechoslovakia and a personal friend of Zappa.
Yep preciously
Ok I can recall seeing Zqppa at the Terrace Ballroom in Salt Lake City Utah in early 70's Peace Love and Happiness Forever
Saw him in Madrid Spain around 1979, without realizing I was at the best concert of my entire life. Now I'm 66 and his records turn my simple house into some kind of impressive palace.
One helluva Show
In my mind, there are only a few musicians whose speech are as precious as their music. Frank Zappa was such a one. Miss him dearly.
Watch up where the Huskies go and don’t you eat the yellow Snow
Well said.
Well said.
Imagine showing up to work feeling as sick as frank probably did here. He dedicated his life to this. I feel grateful for people in this world who have balls and make no excuses.
Yeah you can tell he is suffering the effects of the cancer that got him in the long run.
His face is the color of someone on chemo. I feel for him but am so glad he celebrated his music to the end. Bless him he left us with so much, but I miss him.
Imagine a coal miner going through the same illness.

@@gregparrott it exists, its on youtube
It's insane how timeless he was...one with the universe, plain and simple.
All time existed simultaneously in Frank's mind.
Now he knows what the truth is.
The big note goes on... it's a vibration... it's Einstein, Hawking and... F.Z. They understood...
Time doesn't heal all wounds. The longer he's gone, the more I miss him.
Very nice comment .....and so very true !!!!!!!!!
I feel the same
Walt Likker yup
absolutely!
Walt Likker bloody well right you are. thats how it is for me too
Thank God for TH-cam. So much art is preserved here. Thank you for posting a bit of Zappas' genius.
God hasn't anything to do with TH-cam,or anything else for that matter!

There will never be another Frank Zappa. He was an icon to these people.
Glad that one of his last gigs was in a place that revered him, with a statue etc... I miss this genius, great artist, great person.😅
A musical genius. The most underrated guitarist in the history of the world. Nothing mainstream about this artist.
Apart from his early 70s lowest-common-denominator lyrics designed to catch the ear of kids on the edge of Mainstream Rock: Strictly Commercial!
Genius of boring assholes
Only Zappa would do a "reggae improvisation in the key of A" Hell yeah Frank!
Probably the musician most deserving to be in the Hall of Fame .
And he is
Frank Zappa is in The Hall of Fame in Heaven
I agree with you. He was too far advanced for the regular music industry.
Frank Zappa got inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame some years after his death.
He was an athiest i believe @@unknownknown7427
There will never be another Frank Zappa. One of the most original great musician/composer of the 20th century.

If you do miss thr 90's or the 80's, then you clearly are not up to the news in medicine and technology, because if you did, you would swallow back those words. Plus, it is kinda dumb to be saying "I miss the 80's" while typing it on a smartphone, don't you think?
@John Bravo Nice quote. But now, give me one significant disadvantage to the advancement of technology. Objectively please
I was fortunate to see him live in concert, i felt privileged, i know either love him or not, but if you didn't understand his music, you see him live, you respect his musicianship, one hell of a guitar player,&always had topnotch players, taken from us way to soon. R.I.P. FRANK ZAPPA conducting his band from HEAVEN.😇
he was a composer, a conductor, a player. Miss you Frank
I don't think this was his last live performance - his final appearance on stage was in September (1992) in Frankfurt, but that doesn't really matter. Frank Zappa was a truly great artist and person. The modern world desperately needs people like him.

Yes we do,but we need another Industrial Jesus first.
Yeah, seen him in Frankfurt, conducting one song, then back to hotel because really sick.
"History repeats: first as tragedy, and then as farce."
And we are DEEP into farce territory.
danny j Wow. That is a mouthful of reality.
They say Zappa was such a weirdo, yet when he is deconstructed in any way, you see a very normal, situated human being who valued his own ways of doing things more than selling out.
One of the few regrets in my life is never having got to see Zappa live. It's uploads like this that bring me genuine joy.
One of the the "few" geniuses in the music world!
talk about a beautiful man, Zappa was a philosopher and unparalleled musician. The Czechoslovakians were passionate about him when they were still under the thumb of the USSR. He inspired them to persevere and this show is a celebration of their newly won freedom.
"And if there are any Soviet troops in the audience, you may dance home to this ....." Legendary
Amazing strength and wisdom from a man with terminal cancer who lived only 2 more years. RIP Frank.
I saw Frank in the mid 80s in Md. He came out and played for almost an hour music i have never heard before or since. god i wish i had a DAT recorder on me. Blew us away.
He left us bewitched, bothered and bewildered, now 26 years ago (the only time I cried for the death of a musician).
i cried about him, about brent mydland and jerry garcia
ZAPPA
WAS.GREAT!!!!!€ddy.moto.hippie
Frank Zappa Still for President
I just absolutely love him ❤
Frank was real. He didn't sell out. He proved that pumpkins can bark.
Will W! I'm still wondering what that poodle was biting before he got into chewing it.
His record label Barking Pumpkin, was named for the term of affection he had for his wife ( her nickname)
He was a true original, from do wop , to rock and blues and jazz and classical, there was not a type of music that he did not explore with intelligence and humour
Roger D
Ooh man! My dad was here, it was his second real concert (after stones) he was 26 years old. He was so exited, why not, he spent 24 years in comunism. I really dont know why I write this here...
So glad u did!!!
One of the greatest artists of all times, frank zappa played the tapping tech already in 1976 two years before anyone saw or heard about eddie van halen, it was on the mike douglas show in 1976, it is on youtube, in that year he also produced the fantastic album called good singin' good playin' for grand funk railroad band, thanks for sharing and thanks to frank zappa for his crazy and amazing music
Harvey Mandel also played with the tapping style in the 60s with the original Canned Heat..with Bob Hite..Yes Frank super unique ,love the man ...😟
This is a super common misconception but A) zappa wasn't the first to tap and neither was EVH
B) EVH never made the claim he invented it, it is often stated be popularized it which is true.
I don't know why people always lie about this but it's not hidden knowledge, also the only people who care about shit like who came up with what first is usually the fans and not the super talented artists. They just like to create and share.
@@draetonalimoffatt8780 I used the name of the late and much respected EVH only for comparison, the tapping style variations existed some 80 years from today back into the 20 century, most of the players who played tapping are anonymous ones, like the italian artist who played tapping in the late sixties of the twenty century on an acoustic guitar, we can see him on youtube but it was taken from an italian tv program and his name was not contributed, i hope that i cleared my first comment, take care and god bless!
Zootallures !!!!!
He was so ahead of time, incredible man he was truly missed RIP
James Polucha disagree...Frank was in my time, and it was perfect timing.
Genio della musica e della chitarra l.ho visto a ģinevra nel 1977 col mio compagno Aldo dainese
It's hard to believe we lost him 25 years ago today. RIP, Maestro.
Next year it will be thirty years since the worlds loss
Interviewer: Aren't you worried about smoking since you have cancer?
Frank: No.. tobacco is my favorite vegetable
I love Frank..
EVH 5150 better to live your life as you want and die young than live it as others want and die old
@Asunda Speed Actually no, He said many times he was not a drug user. People assumed he was because he was so wild and creative. You know his cancer was not Lung Cancer, it was prostate cancer. Which every man that lives long enough gets. Prostate cancer is a slow moving hard tissue cancer. The lesson is if you are a man get your prostate checked.
@Benjamin Maynard Frank did say it even on his death bed. He lived his life as he wanted and desired. You need to learn more about this great man. Only problem is he had a desire to not be remembered, only that his music went on. He was different no doubt.
@Asunda Speed In my opinion tobacco is the most addicting drug there is. You can tell that because when you smoke your first cigarette you cough your brains out, vomit and say never again. Then a half hour later you want another one.
Your choice, not going to tell you how to live your life, as long as you don't get high and hurt someone or your family/loved ones don't suffer for your actions you are only effecting yourself. True libertarian.
I used to eat hash and listen to Frank Zappa and the Mothers. I was at this very concert on Halloween in 77 at the Palladium when he did "Titties and Beer"

Here is Frank doing one of his final interviews.

@Asunda Speed no.
Genius shows itself in whatever way it can ... Thank You Mister Zappaq !
STRATOSFERICO,,,,,,,,,,,,,,la mia generazione ha potuto ascoltare e vedere grandi del rock ,,,,,,Zappa è stato uno dei più grandi e inovativi chitarristi ,,,,,,+,,,,,, r i p Frank ,,,,
I grew up with this guy in the musical shadows. Apostrophe brought him out of the shadows for a short while. He really was a genius in many ways. Sad to see him go.
The greatest guitarist of all time . Reborn 👋♥♥
This is one of the clearest examples I've come across where you get to see the master's hands at work. Great clip. Thanks for sharing!
Trying to comprehend what Frank was doing has been one of my greatest musical pleasures. I've been intrigued by the complexities of his music since I was 13.
I've been to Prague twice. It is a wonderful place and is uniquely Prague. This concert in 1991 was when Czechoslovakia was a brand new republic. So glad things worked out. 30+ years of freedom and counting. This was an incredible performance at a pivotal time. I'm glad I could see a part of it.
Какие импровизации,фантастика.
Love Zappa! A master of his own genius musicality! And a brilliant man in every respect!
Oh god I'm so glad that frank never had to see the internet.
He wanted to
You should have a Look at 200 Motels
Although since internet i can easily listen to zappa while i am working. And now no use to drive 100 miles to find a zappa record.here in france
Blasphemy frank would have loved to ridicule it like he did with life itself
The master Frank Zappa is the other galaxy. Awesome sound. One encounter in the stars,with the hipnotic music. Flow of space,and talented in the strings like magnetic way in coming up.
I like it so much. Congrat all.
I was fortunate to have seen him in the day. Truly Rock’s only Jazz Metalist.
I love Frank so much, the first thing that drew me to him was the way he played guitar, he seems to have no limits, no worries, no singular style to keep to a song, I love the diversity and the sheer want of exploring all of musics endless spectrums for songs. A true innovator.
AlexanderW I feel exactly the same way about frank. He truly was one of the greatest guitar players that ever lived. Just unbelievable!
AlexanderW магистр
I agree totally. He never played the same solo twice. His band were structured and hand picked for their skills, so Frank could noodle away to his hearts content. Every live show was different in some way. His solos were unique, and true musicians appreciate the freedom he had.
He has a way of playing guitar that is unmatched. Saw him in concert in the 80 s in Germany. I still love his music.
フランクザッパ 僕も ギターを弾いてますが 彼のテクニックには どうしても追いつくことができません ザッパ 最高
Even tuning his guitar he sounded great. RIP one and only.

wow! i loved it!! thank you for giving us impressions of this guy, we wouldn't have heard otherwise!
what a true and wonderful person! I hope that one day we'll revive this state of musical impression!
thank you!
'Keep your country unique' -- wise words from Zappa.
I was introduced to Zappa's music in 1975. I got to see him perform at a Halloween concert in Providence, RI in 1984, when I was a student at a local culinary school.
He had an amazing talent, and was a true
artist with a unique sense of humor. Thank you for your craft, Frank. You were a true
inspiration .
Trying not to cry. I'm in love with what he was and what beautiful songs he left behind. His oddity was acceptable to his fans because he made it up with tracks like "Son of Mr. Green Beans", "Zoot Allures", and "I'm the slime". His live shows were never dull.
Im surprised you didnt mention watermelon
@@TarantuLandoCalcuLingus The live version is the best way to jam. I have to go through all of Joe's Garage to listen to the original because that album is amazing.
@@velvetchord. it does have an empty feeling if you only listen to certain tracks without the entirety
~ Genes, not Beans.
Love him or hate him there is no denying that he was an extraordinary artist. I miss him dearly. There'll never be another quite like him. Goodnight Frank wherever you are....
Back in the mid 70's Frank came to Ft. Wayne and I couldn't go. A friend went and said it sucked bad The speakers kept cutting out and and it didn't sound good. Some months later Frank came back and I went and this guy said it would suck and all was fixed that night. Frank is a Genius. Others laughed at me for seeing something in Frank Zappa only so few of us that were able to tune in to what Frank was playing. So now I'm retired sitting on my front porch playing my old Rock n Roll albums as loud as I want. Long live Rock
Just imagine for a moment that this is played on a show today not showing the musician in charge. Not too many guitar players like this around. Gadgets weren't as plentiful. Real string bending. A real talent. I will always appreciate real talent and imagination. Love you Frank Zappa. You will Live on forever in music.
I crying right now.
In amazement and happiness. Beauty like this strikes me in a way I can not control. Same thing happened a bit earlier watching/listening to Stevie Vai and Al Di Meola play together.
Amazing
Jamming in an unbelievable way as always........Moving to Montana SOON, ah yess...that is my favorite
Kennynva because I need some beer and it’s titty squeezing time
Holy shit. The planets must be aligned. TH-cam's 2nd awesome recommendation tonight!!! Now I'm gonna watch FZ videos all night.
I was there. And I cried a little. The Russian occupiers were leaving, and Zappa came in their place. It was great.
He was our gift to you as you emerged from the years of darkness
Soviet occupiers. There I fixed it for you.
Many people never got him or understood him....I and many others did Loud and Clear!!
Frank was a beautiful person and a great musician!
He said it was the first time in three years he'd had a reason to pick up his guitar. Saw him at the Shoreline in St Pete, FL in '83 or '84. So glad! You Are What You Is!
this is one of my favorite performances of him. love the solos, love the band, even love the words at the start.
What damn song is this This Jam is amazing please let me know the song name
@@BigDreamsSmallWalletRCit's just an improvisation, I think. he said it was in a minor and reggae.
A true genius of improvisation! The orchestra was always so inventional, too.
Frank Zappa still lives in the mind of the Imaginer, where he forever sings his imaginary vocals and plays his imaginary guitar solos.
RIP Frank.
I love this.
If you didn't copy/paste this, you're probably a lawyer with ambitions of writing a novel!
Lucky for Frank he didn’t live to see the true world of the Central Scrutinizer.. the NSA sees all....
Frank was ABSOLUTELY a one of a kind performer !
Anybody would say here in the heck is this playing but if they knew what their listen to they understand they released it a bad musician of one the best
I was there aged 24....working for Prognosis the 1st English language newspaper in Prague. I had a nice camera so I was one of their photographers. I met Frank in the press conference as the only other US Citizen in the room. He was really friendly and cool to me. Sadly he was obviously quite ill but powered through his show like a champ!

Thank you .
Everyone should watch this performance !
Franck ,where art thou?
In our heart .
Mr. Frank ist seit Jahren mein Favorit.
Es tut mir sehr leid, daß er viel zu früh gehen musste.
Ja, sehr traurig
You are sorely missed Sir Frank ! Been gone 26 years today !! Hats off to you!!love your fan !!🐱🤗💜
perdimos un gran musico, pero nunca perderemos su hermosa musica, viva frank zappa por siempre
Giustissimo!
One of the best undercover agents ever. His work at the parental advisory hearings was flawless. A perfect model...for those like rage against the machine to follow
Kudos to Ol’ Frank for helping mold young minds
Wen I was 5...I remember looking at the album cover of Frank Zappa and The mothers..
Wondering...Why are these guys wearing frilly women's dresses? It wasn't till much later in life that I understood why! When he passed,I was invited to bon fire party. Little did i know we would end up dancing around a huge fire singing zappa songs jamming through giant speakers!!! It was wild man...WILD!!!
Were u in womens dresses when dancing around the fire?
