God bless anyone who was lucky enough to see this "Zappa Plays Zappa" concert live. I will forever live with the guilt of forgoing this amazing concert. Flogging myslef with barbed-wire ever year on the aniversary of this concert, to remind, and shame myself for not going when I had the chance. All I can do now is watch frafments of this grand event on UA-cam.
I have some buddies that are big time metal fans, and I've been trying to get them to understand that technique doesn't alone mean how well you can run a scale in an accelerated manner. They can't understand what I say, and so I show them this. The pinnacle of what it means to have master of time, rhythm, and melody. I hope this means something to them.
If you enjoy prog metal like Dream Theater and such I think this will be right up your alley. The arrangement is super complex. And also dissonant and alienating to casual listeners.
Thanks to Dweezil AND to all those wonderful players! Although your dad said he didn't think being remembered was "important" I gotta think he was smiling when he heard this!
Oh, how I adore this tune! Reminds me of the time I attempted learning it years ago. Which reminds me, I should pick that song back up... Great upload! Thanks!
sorry dude I thought you were saying about Terry Bozzio, the other drummer is called Joe Travers. Perdon pense que estabas diciendo de Terry Bozzio, pero el otro baterista se llama Joe Travers.
Hmmm... well, Wackerman was the only Zappa drummer Vai ever played with. I'm not sure how often they have ever played together, this might be the first time.

Terry Bozzio is soooooooo "the Man"! What an absolute legend. One of the best performances of this piece I have heard.

I listen to metal and really enjoy this piece
Weird, I could swear that metal scene is filled with technically skilled bands who most definitely don't just go apeshit all the time.
do said metal fans actually play guitar ? I wouldn't expect someone who's just a fan to know what makes a good musician
They just want to have a fret frenzy preferably just using one string saturated with fuzz and distortion at maximum volume.

Of course the drummer is Terry Bozzio, look at him carefully and you will notice he's Terry Bozzio
Zappa venait d'une autre planète, ce n'est pas possible autrement.
Man, that alto sax adds soo much flavor to this performance!!

who is the other drummer not terry bozzio.
Did anybody dance? ;-)
Kolliain. I was waiting for the audience's time.
Twice
So this is the only PRO-footage of Vai and Bozzio playing together ?
Hmmm... well, Wackerman was the only Zappa drummer Vai ever played with. I'm not sure how often they have ever played together, this might be the first time.
@Manning Bartlett it’s just that nothing has ever Been Done from sex and religion.
2:32, indeed!
I'm 16 years old and i transcribed this!
Holy shit no way bro
How about recording it backwards now and getting a record deal. Just saying, you'll have to match that somehow;)
And I'm 33 if that matters

Сюда бы ещё Рут, и был бы состав моей мечты.
NO. THERE ARE TWO DRUMMERS, I know Terry very well. The other drummers name?
No. Hay dos durmmers. ¿Quién es el otro redoblante?
Is it possible that The black page was Zappa’s joke on the music industry? If it difficult? sure. Is it music? Not really.
Not really?
