“Blessed Relief”, Soothes the mind and body ! The song is equal to a warm comfy bed ! F. Z. What a musical genius , guitarist , comic, guardian of human rights against censorship. Yes ,Frank Zappa & Dee Snyder of ‘ “Twisted Sister”,went to capital hill for us to fight censorship of music lyrics the government were imposing on the music industry in the late 1980’s.
@@michaelabbott1586 I love the interview with George when he talks about Frank buying him a synth. He didn't want to play it. That changed! I believe the quote was "The greatest thing that happened in my life was that Frank broke down these rediculous barriers I had about music." That pretty much says it all.
I bought this in Manchester in 1972 and I still play it. I introduced the music of Zappa to my son and he is a big fan,he plays it to his friends who are amazed and think he is cool, Zappa that is.
The wildfire smoke is beginning to clear here in the Bay Area. This was the first song that came to mind. All hail the memory of FZ and his amazing musical supporting cast.
I don't remember what program or documentary or special specifically, but when it got to talking about Zappa and his cancer and him nearing death, they played this song. It was perfect. I fell apart. RIP Frank and thank you for everything that you left us!
It was a BBC documentary which was aired just before he died, if I remember the timing. They showed it again and added a lot of extra footage. Beautiful documentary giving another insight into Zappa.
Hoy, 4 de diciembre, a 25 años de la pérdida irreparable de este Maestro. Una vez mas gracias Frank Zappa, por tu música, tu magia e inteligencia para iluminar un poco esta mediocridad. BLESSED RELIEF MASTER DONDE QUIERA ESTÉS.
My elder brothers favourite album, always played on Sunday mornings in the 70's. He is recovering in hospital after invasive surgery to fix an aortic anurism which nearly killed him. Gonna get this into his ears for some musical therapy!
This album, along with Waka/Jawaka was recorded while Zappa was rolling around in a wheelchair following his being pushed off the stage in London in Dec. '71. Many a "Rock Star" in the same situation would use that recovery period laid up and eating fistfulls of meds. NOTHING could keep Frank Zappa from composing and recording! RIP, Uncle Frank
Not to mention come out of it with a very melodramatic song about their pain through the whole ordeal. Frank came out of it with songs about things like dental floss and stinky feet.
Peter Verhoeven What on Earth are you talking about “never went back to the UK”? Zappa TOURED the U.K. on several occasions after the “Rainbow Theatre incident”! I saw him live 5 times all over Scotland and England after the Rainbow attack, from 1975 in the Glasgow Apollo to 1988 at the Birmingham NEC. Much of “Shut Up And Play Yer Guitar” and “Sheik Yerbuti” was recorded live in London at the Hammersmith Odeon years after the leg break incident.
@Peter Verhoeven Fair enough, Peter. You can't always rely on rock journos for veracity. I'm totally with you on the vinyl thing, though. much better than digital.
Something made me want to look this up today - so glad I did. A side of Zappa's work that I wish there was more of....if there's more work of this nature residing in "the Vault" I hope it gets to see the light of day in the near future. Frank is missed for sure....RIP.
I find this one of the most amazing drum parts in the world - either someone else is playing along with Dunbar, it's double tracked or he's an amazing genius!
I accept that as a metaphor... but I would rather say that Z brought heaven on earth. And what did he leave after him, was his music... on vinyl. I brought all my vinyls to my summer place in the Finnish wilderness and there are practically all Z-recordings starting from sixties. I am convinced that vinyl is the old faithful, high fidelity... Time and time again, it is coma.
Hungover on the train home...I can't remember the first time I heard this but it always sounds so fresh. Watermelon In Easter Hay next... Fuck I miss Frank, but George Duke more.
Sal Marquez is a great trumpet player. F.Z. is playing a cheap yamaha acoustic thru a pignose. Gotta respect that. Yet then there is this man named George Duke who creates textures. + a young man named Aynsley Dunbar who has the laid ba ck triplet feel down.
Hi Daniel, I know what you mean about the Odd Couple connection. I always liked the jazzy timeless feel of early 70's TV show themes... This song has it in spades
very interesting music, I love this track !! I had a similar audio setup as the one pictured around the 30 sec mark. Pioneer SX 580/ Pioneer PL518 Turntable/ Criterion speakers.
DNA Ism me and many others who appreciate the art in music. If your so filled with hate and don’t care about the art then what are you doing on a Frank Zappa video?
..after about 40 yrs. of understanding and admiring this man's work..it is still very hard to assess it's timeless power...george aynsley..sal..FZ..lordy..
Yes it was a severe injury. We went outside to see him taken away in the ambulance. The next audience were waiting outside. 2 more shows were scheduled for the next night. When she was pushed he had his back to the audience and pulled dow cables and a mic. It was a big dramatic crash. Many people laughed as they thought it was a stunt. No one moved until we were ordered to leave.
This, Watermelon In Easter Hay, and Peaches In Regalia are some of his finest.
Oh, it's me.
The Poodle likes it and sometimes the poodle chews it !
Add Pink Napkins in there from the Shut Up N' Play Your Guitar trilogy. Breathtaking beauty.
You only mentioned the tip of the tip of the Iceberg named Frank Zappa.
Huge agree.
I feel like this song actually has a healing quality to it.
“Blessed Relief”, Soothes the mind and body !

Love his soft intricate doodling. The tune is exactly what it says on the tin.
This is one of Frank's most beautiful pieces of music, I cried while listening to this on acid once
I'm crying while reading these comments.
I'm crying for Sharlena
Don't you know.....
Zappa would certainly have approved of that.
@@pasthomas Not the acid bit.
i'm in heaven an this is the kind of music they play here
FZ made my life more beautiful. I will thank him forever.
I think it's safe to say Frank Zappa and George Duke had a thorough understanding of music.
Frank not only was a great musician but helped bring out the greatness in every member of his ensamble at the time
Miss his genious

This is my go to song for driving during rain. It’s the most soothing piece of music I’ve ever heard

Frank gave us every thing through music and I will always be grateful and listening to his compositions as long as I am able.
I don't remember what program or documentary or special specifically, but when it got to talking about Zappa and his cancer and him nearing death, they played this song. It was perfect. I fell apart. RIP Frank and thank you for everything that you left us!
Alice Donut Dig the Suicidal Tendencies hat!
@@terrypussypower thank you! you've got a good taste in music!
Alice donut - i feel you, zappa was a great loss.. i miss his voice of sanity nowadays
It was a BBC documentary which was aired just before he died, if I remember the timing. They showed it again and added a lot of extra footage. Beautiful documentary giving another insight into Zappa.
RIP George Duke, you really shine on this song...

The most calming track ive ever heard
I used to play this to get my son to sleep when he was a baby, that's how amazing this song is.
SABBATH BLOODY SABBATH

@@swaggypanda1808 Hell yeah
My elder brothers favourite album, always played on Sunday mornings in the 70's. He is recovering in hospital after invasive surgery to fix an aortic anurism which nearly killed him. Gonna get this into his ears for some musical therapy!
RIP Mr. Duke.
Truly a masterpiece.
beautiful tune, masterful players, one of my favorite zappa tracks
It might be my all time favourite FZ. I want this to be played at my wake. I absolutely adore this!
I've said the same !

@Peter Verhoeven I must have been dreaming when I saw him at Hammersmith Odeon in 84 and Wembley Arena in 88 then.

Zappa is like good wine. It improves with age.
Song brighted up my soul. Brought tears to my eyes. Thank you, Frank.
I find this one of the most amazing drum parts in the world - either someone else is playing along with Dunbar, it's double tracked or he's an amazing genius!
Frank did say in an introduction somewhere "this is Aynsley Dunbar, he sounds like 2 drummers"
This is the sound of GOD, in case anyone was wondering what heaven sounds like ...
Frank not a fan of the 'god' concept, but I understand your sentiment.
The crucial difference being that thankfully this music actually exists.
I'll go with that.
This song has forever engrained itself in my soul.
I accept that as a metaphor... but I would rather say that Z brought heaven on earth. And what did he leave after him, was his music... on vinyl.

one of my favourite FZ songs
This my friends is what you call Masterful songwriting.
The song itself IS a drug.
all his shit is great@@RedElephantStampede
la plus merveilleuse poésie musicale qu'il ce peut....Merci Frank
Definitely on playlist in Heaven.
Hungover on the train home...I can't remember the first time I heard this but it always sounds so fresh. Watermelon In Easter Hay next...
Fuck I miss Frank, but George Duke more.
Honey for the soul - thanks for sharing this gem
Reminds me of my childhood
Been listening to this since the album was released. Stunningly beautiful.
He always had an intuition that made him write what musically intelligent people want to hear. He called it statistical density.
Indeed
OMG I bought The Grand Wazoo on Bizarre when I was in college when it was released. It never gets old, especially this song. Sound of God, I agree!
Фрэнк ценил красоту и размеренность , иногда показывая экспрессию и музыкальный хаос. Заппа , спасибо!
THE MASTER OF INVENTIONS!!!
True!
One of my favorite albums by Frank
Much as I love a lot of Franks music, this album, as an album, is my absolute favourite.
Amazing song, a truly blessed...
Simply beautiful.
I own the original LP on 'Bizarre' label. Sounds great.
wow..that relay was vinyl...I heard a pop right at the end. how nostalgic.
cheers
Acompañar un viaje psicodélico con esta obra maestra no tiene precio
Love Zappa!
Listening to it on my vinyl copy right now. It’s the reason why I bought the album.
Increíble Frank.
Martin Lippi Es cierto, fue uno de los genios incomprendidos de la musica contemporanea
Frank was the Greatest...RIP
Very nice to listen to.
i listen to this song to freshen up my ears as a break from a jam session - so inspring!
Sal Marquez is a great trumpet player. F.Z. is playing a cheap yamaha acoustic thru a pignose. Gotta respect that. Yet then there is this man named George Duke who creates textures. + a young man named Aynsley Dunbar who has the laid ba ck triplet feel down.
absolutely gorgeous transfer. thank you for posting!

Excellent at all time
very interesting music, I love this track !! I had a similar audio setup as the one pictured around the 30 sec mark. Pioneer SX 580/ Pioneer PL518 Turntable/ Criterion speakers.
the absolute best
This is so calming.
I listen to this song when I need to remind myself to appreciate everything... cheesy, but it's true :)
Alice Donut I feel like that's all this song tell us to do,
No soul
Alice Donut
It's a beautiful piece.
it's truer than it's cheesy... we all do!
Yes very cheedey
Es una joya este álbum!!!
i return to this song every autumn...just a girl from Queens
Funny because it always reminds me a summer evening... just a guy from France
Me trae malos recuerdos, pero aun amo y adoro esta maravilla Jazzistica que me pone la piel chinita
Music to be creative to...
Fantastic! Thanks for posting this!
The music looks a LOT harder than it is.
Really wonderful rhythmic concept.
Musically intelligent for sure.
when u start to understand music Zappa could be an inspiration and a good reference to study
Great sound!
This song seriously sucks the air out of me every time I listen to it. It is truly mind blowing.
Why no one mentioned bass part from Alex Dmochovsky here?
You just did
Who the fuck gives a fuck?
DNA Ism me and many others who appreciate the art in music. If your so filled with hate and don’t care about the art then what are you doing on a Frank Zappa video?
Ron Jeremy I don't know what you're talking about? FZ played music, I don't think he liked gloating tribalism.
DNA Ism what does tribalism have to do with art? Is music not art? Idk what ur getting at my g.
really great sound quality ... thanks for the UL :)
Thanks you so much.
..after about 40 yrs. of understanding and admiring this man's work..it is still very hard to assess it's timeless power...george aynsley..sal..FZ..lordy..
Beautiful
My all time fav track of his is billy the mountain
smooth easy listening great job !!!!
Someday I will be dead, but this music will remain immortal.
gorgeous
Frank and John Lennon were the only two other than family that I cried when I heard of them passing on.
Robin Williams’s death had me blue as hell for multiple days.
Bellissimo...
nice set up!
Bless!

He had to be in love when he wrote this.
5:39-6:02 woooow. WOW
thanks so much !!!
I grew up with the PS-X5 !
Zappa incontournable
Top
I have this on Vinyl. The year it was released..The Mids And Highs are so bright and clean compared to the remastered CD. I hate Dead Mids!!!!
Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh.........
Mega.....
The aural definition of Cool.
yeah
FRANK ZAPPA IS THE BEST!!
I wouldn't know about God but this is just about the purdiest toon that a human could devise or imagine.
Zappiencia: el estilo musical de Frank Zappa
Capolavoro
They said... the sound of God
Genius
Aynsley's finest hour
This sounds great out of a crappy laptop speaker set
sounds great out of anything !
thats what fantastic music can do!
brill.
Benedetto sollievo
