DVD: smarturl.it/FrankZappaTokenDVD
Recorded on August 27, 1974 at KCET in Hollywood, A TOKEN OF HIS EXTREME features Frank Zappa with five incredibly talented band members for this extravaganza of live music.
The line-up exists of Frank Zappa-guitar, percussion, vocals; George Duke-keyboards, finger cymbals, tambourine, vocals; Napoleon Murphy Brock-sax, vocals; Ruth Underwood-percussion; Tom Fowler-bass; Chester Thompson-drums.
The Program, as edited and thoroughly tweezed & produced by FZ for Honker Home Video includes these delights: The Dog Breath Variations/ Uncle Meat, Montana, Earl Of Duke (George Duke), Florentine Pogen, Stink-Foot, Pygmy Twylyte, Room Service, Inca Roads, Oh No, Son Of Orange County, More Trouble Every Day, A Token Of My Extreme.
Stereo Mixes Produced by Frank Zappa with Kerry McNabb at Paramount Studios, 1974. Mastered by Bob Ludwig, Gateway Mastering, 2009
FZ: "This was put together with my own money and my own time and it's been offered to television networks and to syndication and it has been steadfastly rejected by the American television industry. It has been shown in primetime in France and Switzerland, with marvelous results. It's probably one of the finest pieces of video work that any human being has ever done. I did it myself. And the animation that you're gonna see in this was done by a guy named Bruce Bickford, and I hope he is watching the show, because it's probably the first time that a lot of people in America got a chance to see it."- FZ appearing on the Mike Douglas Show, 1976
Because 'Token' has never been commercially released until now, it is one of the most sought after Frank Zappa programs.

Dear sound engineers, its noticed and much appreciated .
Seriously so good that this is the version on One Size Fits All
Moving to Helsinki sooon
The band is incredibly tight. The timing is superb.
Have a migraine 🌈🌈🌈🔥🌈🌈
Sick job
No one has mentioned G Duke singing that very difficult vocal melody
Bc they don’t comprehend the difficulty level.. I do and it’s mind blowing
No one has mentioned George Duke's victorian shirt sleeves.
George Duke did some brilliant vocals with Zappa not to mention his keyboard playing
Singing....while playing!
G Duke singing that very difficult vocal melody. XXX ♥
This performance is 47 years old today. What a masterpiece.
True. We are blessed to even know about it.
Fan freedom last another 47 years? or was this the pinnacle.
@@BigWesLawns it'll definitely last. in fact I believe it may increase.
I'm going to see Joe Satriani soon, and I'm sure I will be constantly reminded of Zappa through the show. He was so inspirational and formative.
Absolutely
Ruth is utterly amazing. She added essential parts to these tunes and deserves much recognition for her work with Frank. She clearly loved him, according to what she's said in interviews.
Such a huge part of his sound, and she's so precise!
I wonder where Ruth Is ? ..." Nick Danger "
@@jollyjoker888
"…Third Eye"
Her commitment to her craft and her belief in Frank's music made her the absolute untouchable legend she will be remembered for. It doesn't matter how many times I watch her perform, it's hard to believe it's possible for a person to do what she does.
She intimidated Frank!
It's insane how Frank created all of this yet he doesn't steal the spotlight. Each member is spotlighted and contributes to the shows entirety. This is the best lineup in my opinion.
Best lineup, so says George Duke himself
This is what happens when you check your ego at the door. So much talent on one stage.
Absolutely the best lineup, and Frank has had a lot of good ones.
@@johnharvey4496 Tom Fowler said of this lineup "man, we could do anything".
Def the best lineup, and each musician was so good he was happy to let them shine. Ruth is sublime yet in interviews she seems so humble. Probably my fav Zappa song, an unadulterated joy to listen to.
Ruth Underwood is amazing. Actually everyone in this band is amazing.
John Doe 0:04 Mute playing.
But Underwood... She is so amazing.... :O
Suggest you check wikipedia about Ruth. Nice entry about going to see Frank when he was sick and playing for him again after such a long absence. She sounds like a really neat lady.....
John Doe The Mothers are an extremely talented group
Ruth is fantastic here, always was. ^-^
And yea, Frank fostered so many amazing musicians, it's made such a massive impact on so many different musical genres too. Especially when you consider how many of them went on to be huge inspirations themselves, and for such an uncountable number of musicians in a vast array of often incredibly different genres.
I think a huge part of Franks genius, was his amazing ear, unhindered by popular culture and beliefs. I believe being unique came naturally for him because he looked past what was considered normal, and found his own truths. This is what has always inspired me most about him.
Thank you Frank, the mark you left is manyfold.
I'm no music scholar or educated as such. But I know to a lot of people, this just sounds chaotic, unpredictable, switching melodies and all over the place. But I do know, for us Zappa fans, this is us..... this is a warm blanket to wrap our ears around... it makes sense to us. And we can listen to this 1000 times and it still has that excitement and richness we love.
I speak for the Scholar Community when I say Zappa is good.
Me Thinkest Thee Speaketh with Truth `& Wisdom!!
" chaotic, unpredictable, switching melodies and all over the place"? Nope, it is amazing. But then I have a weird brain. "Jazz isn't dead, it just smells funny" - Frank Zappa. Smells great to me, Frank.
Imagine playing this live and it sounds identical to the album. It shows the skill of the band and the genius of Zappa. Then look at the actual music notation (I have) and it blows your mind. Zappa was a true musical genius.
@@Unborn-Lives-Matter Zappa reminds me so much of Sun Ra and Herbie Hancock. So much funk, soul and free jazz.
Zappa was an ugly clown
Duke's solo at 7:28 is still one of my favorite pieces ever. Perfect fusion.
Like rapture!!!
I love his voice it’s got something to it that nobody else has
@@toddb8851 It always reminds me of those classic Sega Arcade racing games that had the killer fusion OSTs lol. They DEF sourced inspiration from these dudes!
Out Run
@@greybushgames1 nice pfp
The older I get the more I appreciate his music.
Proof he was ahead of his time!
And him as a man.
Peter
I’m 55. Been listening to his stuff since the early 80s.
And yes, the older I get too, the more I appreciate his music
And especially his long solos like this and Pink Napkins
YES
idem
Holy hell Ruth Underwood is a monster talent
She's the Zappalita revolutionary behind the phenom.
@@robertalbiston7822 Well put. What a vituoso.
Very underrated musician, great percussionst and the way she plays the marimba is absolutely great. That woody sound defines the entire melody
all of them are!
yes phrasing is smooth and musical transports the song
This literally blew my mind. Just got into zappa, my first time seeing or hearing this left me in a psychological daze. What an insanely talented group of musicians. Mind blowing.
Same... I've never been a Zappa fan but saw some shit about him on Reddit and was like "Well, one chick I knew growing up had good taste and liked him a lot so he must be good, let me go check his shit out"... fast forward to me an hour later replaying this video over and over and just getting my mind literally blown. WTF is this song it's INSANE. It's literally perfect
Welcome!
You could say Zappa also helped inspire the punk movement a few years later, when young musicians realised they couldn't make complex music any better than this, so decided to return to extremely simple music instead!
When I was 12, ma and a girl played her dad Mother's of Invention records and drinking his liquor, next thing I know we are writing obsurdities in tequila and setting it on fire, in the snow. Beautiful day
Saw him a few times bitd. Hartford, CT, Zurich, Switzerland.better then you know what…
I was fortunate to be in the crowd this night at KCET studio in LA. Lost count of the times I saw Frank perform live, but this was the highlight for me. It was free admission because it was for TV, even got to talk to Ruth. These performances bring me to tears. -- Just another fan from LA
Ruth is amazing, as are everybody in this one
Hey I need to know, was it an absolute requirement to be there that you had to be quiet? Every time I watch this performance (which is alot) I'm baffled by how quiet the audience is, as a 28 year old that goes to concerts regularly.
I am insanely jealous. Especially as you got to talk to Ruth, OMG
Lucky Joe
@@PivotDirector it's because they are listening.
At one point all of this was in Frank Zappa's brain!
He was a true Genius.
The Nikola Tesla of modern music.
Haha, always thought they must be related.
@@savagebushranger7953 mustaches are the main connector
@@xowurb
Yes they are.... ahahahah.
But look closely at Frank Zappa's eyes and they way he looks at things, is the same look as Nikola has...
@@savagebushranger7953
Absolutely right...
@David Wonder
Fantastic album I agree.
But Zappa is Zappa in my book.
He was an amazing composer, and his lyrics was pure intelligent humor, he was a pure musical Genius like very few...
I respect your opinion very much, and I love Jeff Beck...
Take care and thank you for your feedback, it is always nice to hear a different side of a story.
RIP George Duke...Thanks you for all those years of wonderful music.
Eagle Rock Y mas participando en esta maravillosa formacion de The Mothers Of Invention
That was my fathers best friend, I sure miss Frank too
Fabulous with keyboard!
I miss George Duke too. Great musician
guardian of the light is the most underrated album ever
Once again, RUTH UNDERWOOD!!!
En Ruth, love the vibes!
What 47 years later and its still mind blowing! Ruth Underwood sheer magic.
This is one of the greatest live musical performances of all time.
Every time. Saw Zappa three times, once on Blotter. The most amazing virtuosity...I'm a drummer, so I just appreciated what I could, lol.
yes ....Yes .... YES .... YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS ....................
No shit man
Spend half the video with your jaw dropped, tough to argue.
@Mr.Orange
And only 2,7 Million people worldwide know it.
RIP legendary animator Bruce Bickford (February 11, 1947 - April 28, 2019)
Thats sad to hear I was just showing my son this video & trying to remember his name, didn't he do the claymation for city of tiny lights video too?
junglie
Get the Baby Snakes CD for the whole thing....
Ya, you take any 10 seconds of that animation and thats the coolest thing ever done with clay.
Oh that is so sad. I did not know this until reading your comment. Bruce was a huge influence on my animation. Ray Harryhausen and Bruce Bickford, in my opinion are the 2 greatest stop motion / claymation artists of all time. RIP Bruce. I watched Baby Snakes over and over in awe of your animation skills...on acid it was a complete breakthrough.
Thats Wusup giving props to the animator. I would love to buy u a beer your my type of real nigga
Zappa's guitar work is MASTERCLASS
Certain riffs remniscent of Quicksilver Messenger Service guitar licks.
I've never really listened to Zappa until now. The talent of these musicians is through the roof.
This wasn't your average garage band. The forces Frank joined fr his creations were the best at their crafts. I gained so much musical interest listening to them as solo artists afterward. Add in Jon Luc Ponty, Adrien Belew, Flo & Eddie, Don Pardo, Terry Bozzio, Steve Vai, Chad Wackerman, ever evolving.
How the hell they every memorized the whole thing is the true question.
Englehard Dinglefester rehersal 🙄
This is only one song they had to learn lol, they had a lot of songs to learn, and they had to be familiar enough to play them in different styles, tempos, and improvise over them
Repetition. hours of practice.
Hours and hours and hours pf practice!
Constant 5 hour day rehearsing. getting good on your chosen instrument!
This my friends is true music mastery. Defined as total and complete command of the written notes as they are combined with trusted individual Improvisation. Frank understood how to get the most of his compositions out of his gifted musicians. The world is a less interesting place without Frank Zappa in it. And George Duke....
I miss Frank a lot.
@@tycumbie788 me too. still.
Da sam monoteist,rekel bi da je Zappa Bog!!!
I concur, what a genius!
So well said. The world is a less interesting place without Frank. It’s like we got to live in the same time period as Mozart or Beethoven when it comes to Frank. Total musical and lyrical genius as well as one of the greatest bandleaders and discoverers of talent.
This was my go to VHS when all my friends were tripping in my living room at 2am. Trust me, it'll melt your brain!!
I like your style
The consummate host.....
Zappa was garbage
Speed king! ❤
@@marlon-jl4gewhat do you know about music dude?
I love Bickford's animation, but I'd also like to see Frank playing that solo. Hopefully it exists and will see the light of day at some point.
Zappa saw music in a completely different realm...
If you watched this, you’ve seen the impossible achieved. That piece is one demonically difficult interlude after the other and they made it look easy.
Musical mastery composed by the maestro himself and played to perfection by these talented musos.
This NEVER gets old.
That percussion run she does at the end is really one of the best moments in all of music.
I had to keep rewinding!
agreed
"That's Ruth!"
George Duke's solo in this version of the song could be one of the best electric keyboard/synth solos ever. You can tell because Zappa looks over and smiles for once. RIP!
rallokkcaz in fact Frank liked it so much it’s on the album version. Franks solo on the album cut was taken from another live recording (Helsinki maybe?).
@@enneff Yep, Helsinki. And the rest of the Helsinki solo that isn't on OSFA is just as good, maybe even better. th-cam.com/video/dCq8ltUsIog/w-d-xo.html
and George's voice !
not to mention his vocals
@@rickwhear4016 7:53 I'm in luv with that lady, she is awesome. George Duke, Chester Thompson and that lady don't know her were FUCKIN BADD ASS. It's a dam shame people don't know or like this music, it's their lost. There I said it, had to get it off my chest.
Nothing compares to you F.Z. you're the best. R.I.P.
The more I listen,watch,learn, and open myself to this level of art and craftsmanship, the more sure I am that this is music done right. Most music compared to Zappa is completely predictable, even the really good stuff. But he manages to follow a structure while still surprising the listeners. Music is meant to take your soul places, and his music takes me somewhere I’ve never been in this life. Same with that claymation, it’s like acid, it just makes sense to a part of my mind I don’t even know. To me, Zappa should be held as a standard in the art and music world. To those that hear it, cheers! And to those that don’t, I hope someday you get the pleasure.
Well said 👏
Happened for me, hearing Montana 30 years after first dismissing it and being pulled in, still bewildered but this time unafraid
The clay animation and Frank's guitar solo (02:07) melting into one is pure wizardry. I am lost for words.
Bruce Bickford is a genius. Theres a reason Frank was so enamoured with his work that he produced multiple fillms of Bickfords work
8:51 - Ruth Underwood is a superhero.
That run of hers at 9:32 is AMAZING!
2:04 always gives me chills. What a total break from a whirlwind clashing styles of music. God. I cant wait to see Dweezil after covid is done.
Yes,and yes
Rays of sun breaking through the clouds after a storm
My favorite Zappa solo of all time. This whole version is utter perfection… You can hear every single note from every single instrument, every tone has its own little space. He built a complex framework and decorated it beautifully
This solo is literally perfection from chaos.. every note is so magical and fits so good with the chord changes in the back.. its like a character going through different points in their journey.. you can visualise the solo.. there are beginning excitement, mellow anxiety, suspense, upliftment, and finally such a sweet release eventually.. 3 mins of pure delicacy
Also this is a really really good mix, especially considering it was done live in 1974. Huge respect to the sound engineers involved for the live recording as well for mixing.
Ruth is not only talented, she is fast. Transferring between the marimba and drums including muting. Also impressive stamina, she has a very physical job.
I love Frank shamelessly. Simply love him and am eternally greaful for all the music.
I feel the same brother!! even with the guitar solo
I agree
+szymon mnymon but of course dude. zappa at his peak but was there ever a time he was not?
+szymon mnymon evelyn the dog having undergone further modification ...pondered the significance of short version behavior ...impeded depressed pan traumatic resonance and other highly ambient domains .................arf he said
Peter G she lives in mojave in a winnebago
his name is bobby he looks like a potato
* now isn't that exactly how that song ended and segue in san berdino?
I think people are still not ready for this...this is so ahead of its time. Such geniality condensed in a 10 min video.
This is not only absolutely insanely good, it's also stunningly beautiful. Napoleon and George are incredible singers. Love this to bits and pieces.
Everyone on point - good luck finding a band like this ever again
th-cam.com/users/MelbSkaOrchestra They don't apparently have a composer, as ye,t like Zappa (once in a century, maybe) but they are really tight. Almost as tight as the now disbanded Orange County Supertones. E.g., th-cam.com/video/WEjDHime_d0/w-d-xo.html
GENESIS
Dweezil may not be as great as his dad, but he definitely does the music justice.
Mr bungle mike patton
And
Devin townsend
You will find many more if u search deep enough
@@nakymawlot Bungle are great but only have 3 albums, and Devin is not in the same league than Zappa, he is great i love Addicted, and City from Straping Young Lad, but is not the same. I think that if Mr Bungle have 10 or 20 albums could be near to the Zappa legacy but is not the case... Thank You Scientist are amazing too and have a big Zappa influence.
Zappa: your head gonna explode from the music.
Bruce Bickford (RIP): your head gonna explode from the animation.
Editor: your head gonna explode from my epileptic editing.
Frank never said he kept the video editors away from the hard stuff, haha
On my way back home today, I happened to take a route up Monster Rd.
Bruce's street.
Then noodling around and found this gem. I had no idea, btw, that the One Size Fits All version of this was on film! Seemingly edited a smidge for record.
zappa is the editor too haha
It's claymation not animation. ever see the tv show gumby?
dieser Song und auch dieses Video hat mich damals im Alter von 10 Jahren so unfassbar "zappafiziert"
I can't get over George Duke's vocals at the beginning of this song . My God!
I always forget that my guy was a pretty decent vocalist. Had that Lonnnie Liston Expansions vibe to his vocal. Far too few people have that tone now. Opting instead for vocal pryotchnics.
The thing about Frank and the early Mothers, is back in the mid-sixties they gave us (teenagers) a whole different way of looking at the world. Today, some 50 yrs later, I say thank you.
yes but it makes you enigma to other people, especially authority freaks
Ain't this the truth. Zappa and Kurt Vonnegut both contributed to the perversion of my normalcy.....
The definition of eargasm.
Ruth Underwood a master percussionist of talents rarely seen on a stage. Obviously Zappa had a special talent on recruiting musicians for his projects.What line up!! That is the best of the best.God bless Zappa and his guys.I'm really grateful to them all
any musician worthy of their talent would give their eye teeth to play in a band like this, there is no set progression you go with the flow you need to know your stuff talk about challenging but absolutely rewarding to anyone lucky enough to get in on this
Music of an elastic mind.
I always end up emotionally overwhelmed at the unparalleled majesty of this band's musicianship. This is one of the greatest pieces of music ever composed, performed by LEGENDS. Art of this caliber gives us a reason to go on living.
very well said.
Mr Zappa changed my life for the best when I was 18. And Inca Roads will always be in my top 10 Zappa compositions
I know exactly how you feel. Frank was magestic, speacilly with this band formation.
I end up with a tear in my eye, lol. 64. Been following Zappa since 1964,
Who the fuck is LEGENDS?
@@llimeworkspress9785
In this particular case, these particular LEGENDS.............Frank Zappa with these five incredibly talented band members.
The line-up exists of Frank Zappa-guitar, percussion, vocals;
George Duke-keyboards, finger cymbals, tambourine, vocals;
Napoleon Murphy Brock-sax, vocals;
Ruth Underwood-percussion;
Tom Fowler-bass;
Chester Thompson-drums.
......But I highly suspect if someone has to tell you that, you don know what a legend is,...or for that matter, have even read the video description,
.... nor Franks words included in there.
To qualify them as legends, is the body of work far below the tip of this iceberg,...that has drifted through time itself, frozen into immortality.
Those fucking LEGENDS..............
I keep coming back to this one. I bought One Size as a high school kid when it first came out, and was so enthralled with the talent. Today would've been Frank's 83rd birthday. I bet he'd have lots to say.
When you practice your instrument 8 hours per day, every day for a few years, you might be able to play one or two bars of this
Virtuosos are in a league of their own.
@@jstoli996c4s it’s not only how often you play. It’s what you play. The virtuoso relentlessly gives incredibly difficult things to learn. Often their creativity lets them have an infinite pool of these challenges. Seldom do they ever default to something they don’t need to think about, unless that is the goal they’re going for at that moment.

This track is so intellectually stimulating and relaxing at the same time. Love it. Everyone on this band is just brilliant. On this track Ruth Underwood is absolute star
Love seeing George Duke in his prime, working his craft like it’s the easiest thing in the world.
This is my favorite incarnation of Zappa’s band and everyone on stage here is amazing!
Agree. I've heard all eras of Frank's music, this period is the best, imho.
You think this was George Duke in his prime? His Live in Tokyo concert in 1983 - on here - takes some beating. Those tracks are ear worms I don't want to let go of.
@@andrewhinds6560 I do think that, but his later stuff is excellent too. Just a great artist all around.
Every single musician in this band is on level ultra insane. And FZ was the freakin mastermind of them all.
This might actually be the performance and music that finally gets me into Zappa!
Hi I recommend checking out a Song called 'Where I Come From' By Robert Nix
How's it going? You memorised the whole libretto to Thing Fish yet?
I've liked Zappa since that late '80s but I do wish they would have taken STFU-and-play-your-guitar as a guiding principle. This track is awesome. Ends too soon.
This guy IS what I call a crazy diamond.
Never miss Dweezil when he comes to Seattle.
Shine on
Excadrill 57 :-)) yes exactly!
Zappa is one of the sanest people to have ever lived.
Chew.
Truly one of FZ's greatest compositions. Not only is his solo jaw dropping but the band are scorching hot too. All that knotty odd time, crazy harmony and difficult vocals just shows how great these guys were. George just absolutely burns on this song. RIP.
like all zappa comps. master in all ways with his music.
I like the recorded solo better tbh but this one was nothing short of great!
Reckon they used a click onstage? 🙄
No, children. They just PLAYED that shit.
Zappa was filth
His best band and an amazing composition as usual. Imagine being in a wheelchair for a year--and producing the entire Lather triple album--and a year later you're doing this.
Frank's still playing all the guitar, and maybe his greatest band ever. Awesome so glad this was filmed
The finest composer of the twentieth century leads his finest band in possibly their greatest tour de force. Stunning.
One of the best progressive rock song of all times, one of the best guitar solos in musical history
I'm sure every musician would be in heaven on stage with a band like this!!
Their faces tell it all, they know they are making something very special and loving it all the way...
Music I grew up to, man was I lucky. 🙏
Sensory overload. What with a band which must be one of the best ever assembled and the trippy plasticine art. Wow.
The space between the notes, the story Frank tells with his guitar, the perfect band that supports it... this is musical heaven
Loved Zappa since my early 20's.....but now in my early 50's i appreciate it so much more,man,what a legend he was!!!!
Such a tight band in concert. Brilliant in the studio. Sadly missed now.
This is Zappa at his best.
Zappa was always at his best
+DrBongos has my brain finally started melting or did you come back to revisit your past and correct your original statement in a friendly manner so your past self can see a bit wiser, progressing present self? Beautiful!
MMh , YES WHILE ALL %= MUSICIENS are ONE " POINT !!
No!!! Best period was the Unca Unca Wha! I've got load of bootleg
This is the best recording of this song and I will die on that hill.
Absolutely
It is the "studio recording" without the Helsinki solo which is pretty tasty too...
One of the best drums sounds I’ve ever heard on a live recording. Amazing
Yes, I love Chester's sound here. Elegant, precise, leaves a lot of room. I like his groove, it's soulful. I was disappointed when he was replaced in Weather Report by Alex Acuna.
One of the best live recordings of any Zappa band
Frank was loving george's keyboard solo. Big ol smiles
The amazing George Duke. RIP.
Hero of mine
and jammin with Frank. Unbelievable
That guitar solo. I shed a tear first hearing that. Frank could do beautiful if he wanted to.
This song is an absolute masterpiece and one of the best jams I've ever heard in my life so far.
Wow, I'm speechless... I just can say... Incredible. I'm 21 years and I've never listened to something like this before. Psychedelic rock, Jazz and a lot of another musical genres, all in one!!!
Another 21 year old here having the exact same experience here.
Your age is irrelevant, just enjoy the music.
it's a little bit relevant considering the music most people in our age listen to.
@@davidreinhard6037 I don't believe it is. Just because you don't listen to the typical genres of your age group doesn't get you a round of applause. Everyone tries so hard to be unique and in turn all end up looking the same
It is refreshing to hear of young musicians picking up on Frank's music - it proves that great music is timeless. Arturo, David - welcome to the fold!
I... cannot comprehend how good this is.
Pardon me while I wipe my brain off the floor, this was too much for me.
I saw this band (on tour) four months before this was filmed. It was a mind blowing experience; I still remember (vividly) parts of the concert 48 years later. So glad to have this documentation.
What's insane is the amount of hours that probably went into creating that animation out of dough, every little movement recorded frame by frame 🤯
This piece is simple masterpiece...
It is !
If I was forced to make a choice, I’d say Inca Roads is my favorite Zappa composition.
I think you're not the only one to thinks so, man ... and you 've a very good reason..
It’s hard to pick one piece from so many great ones, but I would also say Inca Roads is my favorite.
My guess is that it would win a poll of Zappa's best...
A masterclass of musical talent, arrangement, and for sure , animation.
The audio mix on this is spectacular!!
THE MOS KICK-ASS BAND, LINE-UP EVER!
+twinsmm1 NO QUESTION ABOUT IT
Marcel Hengst
MY ABSOLUTE WETTEST DREAM IS TO BE IN A BAND HALF THIS GOOD O GOD LET ME HAVE IT
+Arthur Kassardjian
you Bronco....
One of the greatest composer in human history!
Hell yeah
Love this song and album!!! I got it in the mid 70's I was about 14 I still have it.
All of them, masters. I'm so glad I was around to catch some live shows.
Very envious (in a good way)
In my mind,this is one of the best songs Zappa made.But there was so many.This one just hit my limbic system every time.I just miss the original guitar solo.So lyrical.
This IS the original guitar solo. Zappa replaced it with the solo from Helsinki concert for the album.
Nobody but Zappa could do this.............I miss him so.
I miss zappa like I miss a deceased member of my family, his intelligence and humor is what i really miss about him
Words are unable to describe how beautiful the music of FZ is. Just listen. 🥰
I was lucky enough to see this band many many times "back in the daze"!! ;^>
Without a doubt, the most fantastic musical ensemble I have ever heard, To me, "Inca Roads" is quite possibly Frank Zappa's greatest musical creation. Expands my mind, and lifts my spirits every single time I listen to it. Thank you, Frank, and R.I.P. ........
Like fine wine. God bless Frank Zappa . See Dweezil whenever u can, trust me .
Dweezil can't even fill Franks slippers, sadly. IMHO he should stay away from his fathers work.
@@nortuber He's not Frank and doesn't claim to be. But his band kicks ass and plays his dad's music better than any current band out there.
Miss FZ every day!
@@nortuber The reason as to why Zappa plays Zappa exists is to share Frank's music to the newer generations. (hence Dweezil opting to hire younger musicians). Whether or not he sounds like Frank is not important, nor should it be.
@@nortuber Dweezil is a better guitarist than his father, IMHO. Frank, is, of course, the creator of the music.
I saw Frank Zappa in concert and they were musically very technical. constantly changing rhythms and keys with perfection. they were great.
You are privileged to have witnessed him in real life! His band and his musicians are the top notch of musical class!
This lineup is pure fire. Ruth. Chester. So good.
This is probably the best song I have ever heard, played on one of the best shows ever played in the history of music!!! When someone asks me what's my favourite musical style, I answer: Frank Zappa!!! They are all there mixed together in such a perfect way... Zappa's way.
Jazz-fusion. Basically Jazz music fused with cartoon like imagery...and I mean imagery in a musical way.
Best album ever! I still feel my ears sliding immediately into . . . "She lives in Mojave in a Winnebago" at the end of this . . . . what phenomenal album! What a GENIUS! Whenever I hum these songs in my head I start laughing (booger bear) :: )
This is my favourite song in the world too, and it makes me cry it’s so good.
The electric piano solo is amazing.
One of the truly GREAT guitar solos by Frank. Personal favourite of mine. Blues soulful feel to it. Noodling at its very best. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love how Napoleon Brock is dancing when the song first starts it’s so obvious how into it he is
