I swear, I love Zappa's musical world and language - and what he led his players to create - so much that it almost hurts my head. It's just so, so beautiful. Astounding and enriching, Frank's art has improved my life SO very much. Love.

This album was 1/2 of my first music purchase, the other being Fillmore East by the Allman Brothers. Those two albums are never out of my rotation 50 years later.
I met Napoleon Murphy Brock & Ike Willis on South St. in Philly right after watching an impromptu KISS impersonation band in an alley (playing early stuff, i.e. Cold Gin, Got to Choose...) on Halloween. How could I ever forget THAT fuckin' scenario? 😎
The lyrics to “More Trouble Everyday” could have been written yesterday - just an amazing song. Hard to believe that I was listening to this album 45 years ago in high school.
I've played lead guitar professionally in 3 rock bands, had FM airplay back in the day, played all kinds of venues, lots of studio work...love Vai, Satriani, Guthrie Govan, Lukather (even Bill Nelson ("who?!")...all those guys. But I keep coming back to this exquisite, moaning, all-Hell-breaking loose Frank Zappa solo... it's so wretched, raunchy, odd, brutal, and heartfelt awesome...crammed full of soul. And that one, brutal, stringed exclamation, "Oh Lawd, watch out, now...look out!" bend, from 2:53 - 2:55... ...that is why I keep coming back to this. Hands down, this is my favorite rock guitar solo of all time.
Man, for me it just starts the goosebumps when he rips in at 2:22 on the track - the most unique and spine-tingling guitar work I have ever heard. I have just about all of his work in some form or other and this is still, I agree, a masterpiece. Fucking sublime. All hail FZ - king of them all!
Also in the top ten "live" albums: "Get Yer Ya-Yas Out" - The Rolling Stones "Live At Leeds" - The Who "Live at the Fillmore East" - The Allman Brothers "Live at the Fillmore East" Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention.
Fuck the Who and Stones. Frank Zappa Roxy and Elsewhere UFO Strangers in the night (A double live album) Judas Priest Unleashed in the East Deep Purple Made in Japan
This band was FZ's favourite! He referred to it many times. If you think this is good check out some of the great bootlegs from later in the tour. They were whipping through all the complicated stuff at twice the speed!! The 'tone' on his SG at this point was wicked beyond belief!
Cedric Harris When FZ had put together the mobile UMRK, many studio recordings were built from live tracks. New material was tested live, and evolved, before it was committed to vinyl. Few musicians operated this way - concert attendees tend to want to hear the familiar stuff, which is why good cover bands can get good employment in clubs, as long as they are able to endure the boredom of playing the same tunes every day, and at least look like they enjoy it. FZ broke several molds.
I don't see how in world Frank is never mentioned with along the greatest guitarists ever. Seriously do you think Hendrix, Clapton and Page were better. Highly doubt it.
In terms of the breadth of tones and genres covered, it's not even close. The latter I had always known, the former it took a little longer to really listen closely and learn more about the guitar. Disclaimer for the sensitive: Nothing against Hendrix, Clapton, Page.
I thought Jimi was the best guitarist ever, until I heard Frank. I repented. Frank is not only a better guitarist, but a better all round musician in any way one would care to measure him.
He is mentioned and he deserves to be, not least for his melodic freedom/abandon/imagination, something he will have recognised in the work of Django Reinhardt. Frank was also superb with effects. Arguably one thing that he did not have was the kind of vibrato that BB King could just throw out there for days on end, because, to my mind, there was a kind of horizontal soloish disposable-note-after-disposable-note thing in a lot of Frank's playing that was possibly closer to raga soloing than a lot of other high-level guitar in the West has been. He was never going to strike a chord with everyone but to me he's just great.
Saw the actual recording of 1/2 of this album at The Edinboro State College Extravaganza on Mother's Day 1974. It was truly epic, unforgettable, and life-changing!!! I was in this audience that nite.....wow!!!!!
My girlfriend was not really a Zappa fan. Today, now my wife of 46 years we still talk about that concert. She became a huge fan that nite. It's one of our favorite memories 🎸
Shit. The Black Page .... uh huh. I don't know how to express my opinion of this, except shit. The Black Page. I'm a keyboard player; I look at that chart and say ...The Black page. Shit!!!
Chester took the drum break with him when he was drumming for Genesis... This is what Phil Collins said..."The thing that clinched me with Chester was a song called "More Trouble Every Day" (by Zappa, on Roxy & Elsewhere), which he and Ralph Humphrey play, and I heard that drum fill, which we actually do at the end of "Afterglow". They did that fill on the Zappa song and it floored me completely. I saw what two drummers could do. It could be like a machine. I play flams quite a lot, and with my flams and another drummer you get this huge, sort of solid, thick, backbeat. So one of the first things we did when I met Chester was get him to teach me that lick, and we always put it in the show somewhere. But that was really just listening to him. I had never met him. I rang him up and said, "Hi Chester, I've heard your stuff, would you like to play with Genesis?" He came over as a member. He didn't even audition. He just came over and set up his drums and was started rehearsing."
Frank was one of a kind, my friend. He did things his way and was never beholdin' to anyone. The only person Frank ever answered to was Frank...period.
+William L. This song just...it...well...it makes me happy of myself. I'm glad I was able to hear this. It will be one of my favorite memories I take with me when I go.
Holy Mother Of God! The solo in Son Of Orange County still moves me to tears. It’s the most evocative, beautifully crafted of all FZ’s solos and the segue into More Trouble Every Day where Chester’s drum fills just thunder that sequence into life - no wonder Phil Collins employed him into Genesis without even auditioning him. This album is a fucking masterpiece. Genius.
This album is still a classic. As only Zappa could do it. The guitar solos are some of the best. Each has a unique sound and each musician has to be one of the best.
Saw Zappa in 73 and Yes a month later. Hendrix twice, The Flock once, Beach Boys, Stones, the Warlocks before they changed their name, the Dead and everyone else. Yes, Zappa was the Best.
This is the best version on record,the guitaring is bang on, there's a bit of everything jazz blues rock all wrapped up into 1 special tune to me, perfection 👌
chills all over the body from 04:25 to about 4:50. and again at 6:00 to 6:30. no other guitar solo would ever go so directly under the skin... That's not music, it's pure erotic ;-)
I have to aggree totally... Check out other great guitarrists as Steve Vai, former Stunt guitarrist of FZ. Orianthi Panagaris Shooting Star... I'd love to see one of them, maybe together?
I was at this show at Edinboro State College, Mothers Day 1974. We didn't know he was recording live that nite but did notice how much equipment, trucks, etc were there. Only time We had ever seen so much gear was at Floyd shows. But man, Frank & band were magical that nite. One for the ages.
The tension and release segue from one track to the other is just sublime. Those four bendy B notes ringing out plangent and blue make up one of the great moments in guitar music.
Keep in mind that most of Franks solos were impromptu. Done on the spot. This shows his real genius. Most leads have a climax to them which gives structure and also they tell a story on its own. And no one has the style Frank had. One of a kind.
This lp is indeed stunning, especially this portion. I couldn't have come up with the guitar solo in s.o.o.c. with my wildest imagination. The subtleties are freaking brilliant.
It was said to have been written in response to the song 'All You need Is Love' (Around 1968) The reference to Nixon's words were added years later at this live performance.(May,1974) Nixon had just recently said it,and resigned a few months later. (August,1974)
Everyone is going for the guitar solo, and don't get me wrong, is out of this world. But what about the bass, man? Can't you hear that baby on the background too???
I saw Zappa in 1973 with a variation of this lineup. He is also a great accompanist and I watched him getting into his own music and enjoying the playing of this awesome band. His guitar says things to me that are different from other players but I avoid comparisons, so and so is better than some other player etc. However this solo is total filth. Exactly what he was aiming for I believe!
Franck Zappa get into you under the skin and his Muzik goes directly into the soul and you have no chance except to enjoy the crazyness of the wordl he dive you in....!!! Bless you Franck and all your musicians and family !!!!
Out of sight... altough I love even most the August 27, 1974 show at KCET in Hollywood... "A Token of his Extreme" it is just the best live show ever played by human beings!!! ;)
Simply incredible, a musical performance that encapsulates everything great about real music. The drumming and percussion work on this entire double lp is unbelievable.
I must have played this 2 record set, and especially this song, about a million times as a teenager. Even then I had good taste and class.....ha ha (brag, boast, then trips on his cell phone charger cord) Thank you for this......
Frank Zappa in my eyes is one of the greatest guitar player I ever saw live with is about 12 times or more. His musical level is the best of any band that I have seen and I seen just about all of the greatest musician around, from Pink Floyd,Yes, Eric Clapton and all the other bands from the 60 70 80 the owenly other guitarists I can say close to Frank when it comes to playing really great guitar work is Jimi Hendrix.Frank was a master not just in playing the guitar he was a master in all instruments he wrote all the music to all his songs. And for someone who has 80 album out there that says something. You are well missed Frank may you rest in peace.
These two are my favourite Frank solos, along with Fifty-Fifty. I still get a kick out of these performances decades on!
Sublime guitar work I feel
As satisfying as the best solos by Beck, McLaughlin, Holdsworth, Blackmore, diMeola etc IMO. Uncanny structure and ideas.
@@AlmostEthical Not just 'as satisfying', the greatest, ever and forever!!! The complete band here was just stellar!
@@WillieEWoof Can't argue.
Precision at its finest, great choice of tunes!
i consider this to be played at the funeral of my dear friend and Zappa Fanatic T. W. on Friday
Hey man... I like to imagine T. with Frank talking somewhere about music and politics over a beer ❤ Hugs from Rome
I swear, I love Zappa's musical world and language - and what he led his players to create - so much that it almost hurts my head. It's just so, so beautiful. Astounding and enriching, Frank's art has improved my life SO very much. Love.
Thank GOD for my father. He raised me on this shit. Love you dad!
Parenting done right 😊
Quite simply, this has slowly but surely become my favorite Zappa solo.

This album was 1/2 of my first music purchase, the other being Fillmore East by the Allman Brothers. Those two albums are never out of my rotation 50 years later.
I also love Frank's Fillmore East album. Another fantastic live album...
The worlds best guitarist without a doubt. Forever in our hearts.
"the world`s best guitarist without a doubt" amongst a whole pantheon of "world`s best guitarists without a doubt".
One of Zappa's greatest albums.
Certainly one of his tightest lineups he played with
"And in your dreams you can see yourself as a prophet, saving the world, the words from your lips...
I just can't believe you are such a fool."
I met Napoleon Murphy Brock & Ike Willis on South St. in Philly right after watching an impromptu KISS impersonation band in an alley (playing early stuff, i.e. Cold Gin, Got to Choose...) on Halloween. How could I ever forget THAT fuckin' scenario? 😎
9.05.....what a sound !! Pure beauty , makes me fly into heaven....
I'm so glad younger people are still discovering Uncle Frank after all these years. Good on you.
The lyrics to “More Trouble Everyday” could have been written yesterday - just an amazing song. Hard to believe that I was listening to this album 45 years ago in high school.
Just to me..best guitar lead to this song of all. And there are a few. Rest easy FZ...
I find myself thinking that this is the greatest guitar solo ever... but how can I choose, their all so good!
One of the best - ever,
this is one of those songs that I like to call a life changer. Raw as fuck.
This just in. You don't have to choose. So relax!
I agree, one of the finest solos ever.
No! You are right this is a fabulous guitar solo. Mr. Zappa was highly underrated on his guitar skills
This is one of the many proofs, Zappa was and is the greatest!!! :)
This is the backbone of 70s stoner music...take it from me, class of 79.
Class of ‘78, bro.
This man changed the life of so many people... Thanks for all FZ.
I've played lead guitar professionally in 3 rock bands, had FM airplay back in the day, played all kinds of venues, lots of studio work...love Vai, Satriani, Guthrie Govan, Lukather (even Bill Nelson ("who?!")...all those guys.
But I keep coming back to this exquisite, moaning, all-Hell-breaking loose Frank Zappa solo...
it's so wretched, raunchy, odd, brutal, and heartfelt awesome...crammed full of soul. And that one, brutal, stringed exclamation, "Oh Lawd, watch out, now...look out!" bend, from 2:53 - 2:55...
...that is why I keep coming back to this.
Hands down, this is my favorite rock guitar solo of all time.
+Trev0r98 You're ears aren't playing tricks on you. Zappa's guitar in these two songs is awe inspiring. It doesn't get much better than this.
Bill Nelson from Be Bop Deluxe
I have followed Bill Nelson since Be Bop Deluxe days, he is the definition of underrated...
Man, for me it just starts the goosebumps when he rips in at 2:22 on the track - the most unique and spine-tingling guitar work I have ever heard. I have just about all of his work in some form or other and this is still, I agree, a masterpiece. Fucking sublime.
All hail FZ - king of them all!
...and then at 9:08 he's off again.... doesn't get any better than this
this song is absolutely hypnotic
this album, along with the best band you never heard are in my humble estimation, quite possibly the best live albums ever conceived.
Also in the top ten "live" albums:
"Get Yer Ya-Yas Out" - The Rolling Stones
"Live At Leeds" - The Who
"Live at the Fillmore East" - The Allman Brothers
"Live at the Fillmore East" Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention.
Fuck the Who and Stones.
Frank Zappa Roxy and Elsewhere
UFO Strangers in the night (A double live album)
Judas Priest Unleashed in the East
Deep Purple Made in Japan
This band was FZ's favourite! He referred to it many times. If you think this is good check out some of the great bootlegs from later in the tour. They were whipping through all the complicated stuff at twice the speed!! The 'tone' on his SG at this point was wicked beyond belief!
Roxy & Elsewhere is so overdubbed that it barely counts as a live album.
Cedric Harris When FZ had put together the mobile UMRK, many studio recordings were built from live tracks. New material was tested live, and evolved, before it was committed to vinyl. Few musicians operated this way - concert attendees tend to want to hear the familiar stuff, which is why good cover bands can get good employment in clubs, as long as they are able to endure the boredom of playing the same tunes every day, and at least look like they enjoy it. FZ broke several molds.
Insane guitar solo. Music is the best. And Zappa's music is best of all.
mindblowing arrangments, conceptualisation and instrumental brilliance! This is genius!!
This is my favorite side of the album. Starting off with Cheepnis and just getting better from there! Great stuff!
I don't see how in world Frank is never mentioned with along the greatest guitarists ever. Seriously do you think Hendrix, Clapton and Page were better. Highly doubt it.
Rolling Stone rates him No. 11 in the top 100 all time. Not sure I agree that he should be that low on the list, but . . .
In terms of the breadth of tones and genres covered, it's not even close. The latter I had always known, the former it took a little longer to really listen closely and learn more about the guitar.
Disclaimer for the sensitive: Nothing against Hendrix, Clapton, Page.
wonderfulness..his whole take on life is absolutely free only if you want to be
I thought Jimi was the best guitarist ever, until I heard Frank. I repented. Frank is not only a better guitarist, but a better all round musician in any way one would care to measure him.

damn, i just love this song so damn much... Mr. Zappa really soared here. Such a genius, and sorely missed so bad.
This changed the kind of hearing, feeling and thinking music for millions, usual people, musicians and dumps like me. Thanks so much for posting.
No matter how many times I've heard this in my life it still gives me the goosebumps...man could those guys tear it up!
that nails it
The greatest 12 minutes of music ever put together....miss you frank
Saw the actual recording of 1/2 of this album at The Edinboro State College Extravaganza on Mother's Day 1974. It was truly epic, unforgettable, and life-changing!!! I was in this audience that nite.....wow!!!!!
Nice!
My girlfriend was not really a Zappa fan. Today, now my wife of 46 years we still talk about that concert. She became a huge fan that nite. It's one of our favorite memories 🎸
The perfect "Underground" anthem for us!!!
Nobody was like this guy! Awesome musician!
Frank Zappa one of the most contribution of American culture
Besser als Coca Cola und Mc. Donalds und weitaus besser als die Atombombe... 🎈💥🦉
Listened to this at least 1000 time since Grade 9 in 1974. Saw Dweezil do the whole album in Calgary with Zappa Plays Zappa. - Best. Concert. Ever.
Just saw Dweezil play the Hot Rats album on March 7, 2020 in Huntington, NY.
it's 4am and I can't sleep, so Roxy and Elsewhere will do just fine
Used to sit in the barracks & drift away listening to Zappa, this being one of his most amazing pieces. 😍😍😍
This is up there with Holiday in Berlin Full Blown, as far as heavenly guitar solos are concerned.
probably one of the best drum breaks EVER... finally I can play it..
... but can you play "The Black Page"?
another life....maybe...only parts
Shit. The Black Page .... uh huh. I don't know how to express my opinion of this, except shit. The Black Page. I'm a keyboard player; I look at that chart and say ...The Black page. Shit!!!

Never get tired of "Son Of Orange County"
i'm just a 20 years old french kid and all i want is artist like that at radio ...
Never followed trend, always his own fckin way
peace
Frank was one of a kind, my friend. He did things his way and was never beholdin' to anyone. The only person Frank ever answered to was Frank...period.

This song just...it...well...it makes me happy of myself.
I'm glad I was able to hear this. It will be one of my favorite memories I take with me when I go.
Make music, enjoy
We're living in a world that frank predicted. So what are you gonna do about it? Rise up!!
Holy Mother Of God! The solo in Son Of Orange County still moves me to tears. It’s the most evocative, beautifully crafted of all FZ’s solos and the segue into More Trouble Every Day where Chester’s drum fills just thunder that sequence into life - no wonder Phil Collins employed him into Genesis without even auditioning him.

Really up there on my list of greatest guitar solos of all time....Son of Orange County....so tasteful in every section.
I was lucky to see the Roxy tour- 1974- Jenison Fieldhouse- East Lansing.
Don't brag Old mon! Lol 😂❤💥
aw you lucky bastard. What I would give to be among the people who have seen Frank live, let alone his Roxy line-up
i am gratefull growing up with frank.the thing is my friends and most people didt like him then.ahead of his time big time
Yes....my favorite of all time. I mean.....it doesn't get better than this!!
Oh yeah, play it again it get's better...........repeat!
This album is still a classic. As only Zappa could do it. The guitar solos are some of the best. Each has a unique sound and each musician has to be one of the best.
Magnifico Doppio LP, che tempi..
reminds me of the late 70s zappa was so big here in the uk.still listening to his work today.no one comes close to his style.
Miss you sir and your wisdom
I saw them in San Diego with Ruth Underwood. They were the Greatest Band I ever saw in my life, and I have seen everyone except the Beatles. Everyone.
The Beatles ? They suck. Take it from a Liverpool lad
Saw Zappa in 73 and Yes a month later. Hendrix twice, The Flock once, Beach Boys, Stones, the Warlocks before they changed their name, the Dead and everyone else. Yes, Zappa was the Best.
Son Of Orange County!
A Fucking jam, complete with snorks!!!
More Trouble Everyday was on the Freak Out album in 1967 and it fits today's times quite well.
pure unadulterated genius ........ I lie in awe of the master
This is the best version on record,the guitaring is bang on, there's a bit of everything jazz blues rock all wrapped up into 1 special tune to me, perfection 👌
Just Magnificent. Always been one of my favorites by this genius.
These two songs combined are thee epitome of rock-n-roll. Hans down.
What an amazing piece of complex but melodic music!
chills all over the body from 04:25 to about 4:50.
and again at 6:00 to 6:30.
no other guitar solo would ever go so directly under the skin...
That's not music, it's pure erotic ;-)
progjazzfusion thanks for telling us what to like........we were lost without you.........now get back to guitar school and stay there.
progjazzfusion You are obviously a total douche.
I have to aggree totally...
Check out other great guitarrists as
Steve Vai, former Stunt guitarrist of FZ.
Orianthi Panagaris Shooting Star...
I'd love to see one of them, maybe together?
tonewall jaxon
sure, no prob, glad to help
Something Zappa does that really appeals to me is pair beautiful melodies and bizarre lyrics
Simply a magnificent bunch of musical maestros and humorous on top as well
this was the first Zappa album i brought back in the days of yore... still a favorite
Same here. I heard this when I was 16, over 20 years ago, and my life hasn't been the same since.
Same here! Bought this at age 16 along with Pink Floyd's Ummagumma on a friend's recommendation. Each opened my mind in a different way.
I was at this show at Edinboro State College, Mothers Day 1974. We didn't know he was recording live that nite but did notice how much equipment, trucks, etc were there. Only time We had ever seen so much gear was at Floyd shows. But man, Frank & band were magical that nite. One for the ages.
"And in your dreams you can see yourself as a prophet, changing the world, the words from your lips.

Thanks for posting,

I have listened to this a thousand times. There is a moment there that gives me chills. So good. Thanks,
Frank and Napoleon Murphy Brock divine
This tune is the holy grale for the real Zappa fans.
Timeless
I saw this tour at the flint IMA. One of the best shows i've ever seen and ive seen them allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll.
More Trouble Every Day, just as relevent today as when it was first written.
That's a hell of a tone!
Amazing Almost 50 years now, still love it! the complexity of this music is just amazing
The tension and release segue from one track to the other is just sublime. Those four bendy B notes ringing out plangent and blue make up one of the great moments in guitar music.
Jammie jammie jammie ......... How can you not love it ?
He broke the rules.................genius.
Keep in mind that most of Franks solos were impromptu. Done on the spot. This shows his real genius. Most leads have a climax to them which gives structure and also they tell a story on its own. And no one has the style Frank had. One of a kind.
08:15 pure genius everywhere on this track

It was said to have been written in response to the song 'All You need Is Love'
(Around 1968)
The reference to Nixon's words were added years later at this live performance.(May,1974)

Tom Fowler is the man
Drums!
I feel the same when I listen to Inca Roads th-cam.com/video/vAGVQM6IAKk/w-d-xo.html
Gus Ngregg that’s what I commented on. Fantastic!
EllyCat probably my favorite Zappa song, if there is one.
WE NEED YOU NOW MORE THAN EVER!
Bill Panagopulos The present day composer refuses to die
I saw Zappa in 1973 with a variation of this lineup. He is also a great accompanist and I watched him getting into his own music and enjoying the playing of this awesome band. His guitar says things to me that are different from other players but I avoid comparisons, so and so is better than some other player etc. However this solo is total filth. Exactly what he was aiming for I believe!
I originally purchased this one because of the song “Penguin in Bondage”. One of my first Zappa CDs.
Get Live at the Fillmore and Burnt Weenie Sandwich
Love this!!
It’s just Great!!!!
Great ? Fantastic you mean
And in your dreams, you can see yourself, as a prophet. Splee-doo!
"Saving the world"..............
I love this tune since I am 17years old, and I am now 6xx ...the question is why ?
Because it never gets old
Franck Zappa get into you under the skin and his Muzik goes directly into the soul and you have no chance except to enjoy the crazyness of the wordl he dive you in....!!! Bless you Franck and all your musicians and family !!!!
Out of sight... altough I love even most the August 27, 1974 show at KCET in Hollywood... "A Token of his Extreme" it is just the best live show ever played by human beings!!! ;)
great to hear again.!!!
Simply incredible, a musical performance that encapsulates everything great about real music. The drumming and percussion work on this entire double lp is unbelievable.
Pure greatness.

Frank Zappa in my eyes is one of the greatest guitar player I ever saw live with is about 12 times or more. His musical level is the best of any band that I have seen and I seen just about all of the greatest musician around, from Pink Floyd,Yes, Eric Clapton and all the other bands from the 60 70 80 the owenly other guitarists I can say close to Frank when it comes to playing really great guitar work is Jimi Hendrix.Frank was a master not just in playing the guitar he was a master in all instruments he wrote all the music to all his songs. And for someone who has 80 album out there that says something. You are well missed Frank may you rest in peace.
One of his finest offerings - love this album and this medley - sublime
my social worker gave a tape with this on.it really touched me with all the shit going on in my life
+levitate64 Amazing! That's fantastic!
What a great social worker
Funny how history repeats itself....
