That Dweezil is keeping his father's legacy, giving his time to the younger generation exploring it, and he's one mean guitar player besides is extraordinary.
Frank’s ‘sleaze’ was sometimes over the top but always satirical. Adolescent sometimes, puerile, even. ‘Putrid filth’’? Naw, that’s GG Allen territory. Sleazy guitar, sure, which I hear Dweezil emulating a certain amount. Frank was a great bandleader and always seem happy and content sorrounded by such great players. Hardworking (workaholic, really), smoked too much, probably. Not perfect, no doubt. Left slot of music that a lot of people love. Go, Dweezil!
Greggery Peccary , just try this guys, like try to play Hackett Creation Solos Firth Of Fifth , dont try it man lolo or the Creation of Steve Hackett with Banks Horizons-Suppers Ready , dont try to play the final rs Ready Live , or just try to play ther Ciavonnne of Back luke Steve hackettlololololo
Wow. What a great performance from such a young group of people. I really admire the younger generation playing this kind of music.The music world is not lost.
What a beautiful version. I can only imagine how hard it must have been for Dweezil to play his fathers music. Not so much from a skill perspective. Because it's hard to have the mission of keeping his Dads music alive, so he tried to be as close to the original as possible to do the original justice. What a massive project. I find that he now sounds much more like Dweezil and that does his Dad even more justice. Fantastic development. Such a great accomplishment! Thanks Dweezil for giving your gift to us.
Very beautiful, mature playing by the orchestra members! This Zappa composition really comes alive in a setting like this, and of course Dweezil nails the guitar work...
I had the privilege of seeing Frank many times as a teen and Black Napkins was always my favorite live. Dweezil is incredible and kills it on this solo. The tone is insane!
So dear to my heart to hear FZ's music played with reverence and style. I'll never forget the morning my ex-wife woke me to tell me Frank had died. I was in a panic and shock for several days... I thought the music may have died with him. Glad to know that was far from the case...
Dad would be proud!!! Modern day Jazz Standard!!!!

Dweezil does his dad proud - not that we needed to be reminded thereof but it can't be stressed often enough how great and well rounded a player he is!! And yeah gravely underrated for that matter.
Thomas Türling, he’s a better overall guitarist than his dad

@@michaelcontreras148 His pallet to draw from certainly is way broader. And I admire Dweezil's playing in mutliple ways. He has great taste, great tone and a second to none technique. His Dad has achieved something only a scarce few have ever - to have a unique sonic footprint - you can instantly tell it's Frank.
The kids sound great! Dweezil on guitar, playing Frank's music to perfection, is delicious. Please come back to Seattle so I don't have to fly out to some Gawd-awful town in North Dakota to hear my favorite music live.
When George Duke went to work with (not for, but with) Frank. Frank asked George to do a simple little Doo Woop run. George replied "I can't do that" Frank, "why, is it beneath you?". George, at that moment George got it. Frank Zappa, whether it be an extremely emotional yet simple 2 chord progression or a "Black Page" Intricate, abrupt time change, multiple time change more note per line than seems humanly possible. (For those of you who are thinking "Black Page" was one piece with 2 parts) Yes it was, I was fascinated to learn it's also a reference to a musicians nightmare of music too difficult for them to play. Folks, Frank Zappa is was unlike any other musician. And the solo Dweezil did in this performance brought me to tears, gut wrenching in the best way. Thank you. John 14:6
@Martin G , I agree. Frank actually (I believe) was a Satanist. My Truth scripture address at the end, was for any other person that may read it. Frank was angry at everything and everyone.
@Martin G , thank you for your comment. Martin, I may get a little lengthy on this so forgive me. Martin I know better now than to say that I loved Franks music. As a musician and an artist, I believe that Frank Zappa was the most gifted in my lifetime. Now sixty-three years. Listening to his music, I was often brought to tears. I have actually thought about contacting Dweezil to see if I could discuss his father's beliefs.
@Martin G , Martin this is fascinating. The "AI" would not let me write you. The computer kept erasing things that I was writing. (Have you seen videos of people asking the different Central Computers like, "Alexis", I have forgotten the rest. The people in the videos will ask a series of questions about, Budda, Mohammed, etc. The computer gives a descriptive answer. Then they will ask who is JESUS? The computer will not answer or says it doesn't understand the question. I thought that's what was happening to my reply to you) So I gave up. I had no idea it went through, Praise GOD. Thanks for the very enjoyable exchange.
Love that THE DWEEZ of RIFFEEZ is keeping Papa Franks Genius alive! Dweezil has become quite exceptional in his playing! Love it! btw...? Lil' Lady in Red is HHHHHOT!!! ;-)
I heard Dweezil Zappa fixed Jimi Hendrix guitar! The one that Jimmy played at the Monterey Pop festival and lit it on fire! I'd love him to play that one!
That tight hammer-on and pull-off technique Frank used is given lots of tribute from the Dweez. He claims to be heavily influenced by Eddie Van Halen and the Los Angeles guitarists of the late 80s/early 90s nuts hear so much of Franks influence here.
Some great chops in this orchestra. The Big Island rocks cool jazz......just came to Dweezil's solo. Nice to see him build on the great foundation his amazing father started. (kinda a sexy look too!)
Dweezil is even better. Frank said it himself when Dweezil was just a teenager, He knew that Dweezil had it and would be better than he. He also has his own sound and tone when he is playing his own music. The fact that he can capture Frank like he does, sometimes brings tears to my eyes. I know Franks music inside out almost 50 years now. Tears. Frank is missed and not just for his music..
Dwarves turning pages but on cue and running about... and the spirit of laughter again and again.. The notes live on and as it should be and the Composers Son evolves... What I would not give for a black napkin. Behold and please be Frank about it...
Captain Slowhand Sure Tone really is intensive percussoid Bliss. That solo has fz good vibes with the opposites intersection Loop of Ruth ( Speedy Gonzales) Underwood . A refreshing contrast indeed! I'm now hearing a Dueling Vibes run as I stop the spin to write this.
Das ist ja nur geil!!!!!!!
That Dweezil is keeping his father's legacy, giving his time to the younger generation exploring it, and he's one mean guitar player besides is extraordinary.
@Martin G I'm not sure Dweezil would agree with you, or the vast majority of musicians I've ever known, but you be you
Dude, this serious music is his dad’s ‘putrid filth’. Somehow you didn’t know that. He plays the music of Frank Zappa, strictly. Grrrr

Check out him playing Watermelon in Easter Hay, it's so moving. Tears are running down his face.
Jazz isn't dead, it just smells funny.
rofl
one of franks quotes from the live at the roxy album. love it
This is truly sublime! WOW! Dweezil is a gift to us all!!
Very beautiful, mature playing by the orchestra members! This Zappa composition really comes alive in a setting like this, and of course Dweezil nails the guitar work...
This song can move me to tears.
it does
Much of Frank & Dweezil's music does. Unlike any other musicians. For me.
I love the version from the album ‘make a jazz noise’.
Dweezil always has the craziest overdriven tones. Shoutout to his pops for that
Dweezil has kept Franks music alive. The younger generation are respecting the music that has not been forgotten.
one of the coolest performances I've watched in a while, moves just like pops, Zappas are strong
Love this soooo much!
The treatment this opus deserves - magic

Good to see the younger generation performing uncle Franks music in their own innovative style
Dweezil takes his fathers music and just owns it, This is extraordinary.
Paying Justice to his father this is beautiful

Genetics are real on so many levels when it comes to Dweezil. Great performance by all. Thank you.
Love it! Listen to it everyday!!
Thanks!
I love what Dweezil did with what always has been one of my favorite songs of his dad.
Black napkins le titre qui me fait chialer tellement c'est MAGNIFIQUE merci frank je l'écoute depuis 76
Listening to this was surprisingly emotional experience.
Interesting. For me, while it was a good rendition, well played and impressive, it brought no emotion.

Jeeeeze Dweeeezil sounds good. And great tone on the guitar.
Dweezil has got it, period.

Tremendous respect to ambitious and thoughtful tribute to Zappa compositions!

Dweezil has the same tone and feel that Pop's had. He does honor to Franks Music.
Dweezil is better.
this was fantastic thanks
LOVE this Tune. Saw the last 7 tours.
Love that THE DWEEZ of RIFFEEZ is keeping Papa Franks Genius alive! Dweezil has become quite exceptional in his playing! Love it!
btw...?
Lil' Lady in Red is HHHHHOT!!! ;-)
gawd, that doubled tone dweezil gets is GORGEOUS!!
I heard Dweezil Zappa fixed Jimi Hendrix guitar! The one that Jimmy played at the Monterey Pop festival and lit it on fire! I'd love him to play that one!
Wasn't the Monterrey Strat, but the one Hendrix used in Astoria
Yes so good and dweezil you are the mam .
the MAN, I hope?
@@Peter_B at least not the nam! Or even nan! :)
One of The best live performance I have seen on youtube so far! Great Dweezil you are a master! And the musicians are wow awesome!

Son of a Frank Zappa you just made me cry

You didn’t mean Ahmet did u
@@yisen8859 Joyful crying
Beautiful and timeless. Well there is.
holy makaroni that guitar sound and solo was fockin epicQ!!!!!!
OMG Dweezil. I don’t know what to say.
Goosebumps! My favorite Frank song, for sure.. Would have loved to have had the opportunity to do this as a college-aged musician!
Dweezil is the man!
Love it. Love Frank... he had a huge impact back in the day. I think Dweezil is cool. The clip and the idea is great. That's all, no big shit.
Some great chops in this orchestra. The Big Island rocks cool jazz......just came to Dweezil's solo. Nice to see him build on the great foundation his amazing father started. (kinda a sexy look too!)
👍🏻💪🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻More Zappa Every Day!!!!!!

ZAPPA LIVES!!!
Very cool
Merci Dweezil ! This Song turnnaround the World
Outstanding!
You can tell which ones actually have heard black napkins. Especially the vibes player
hot damn! thx Frank and the rest of ya
Every moment is delicious. I’m delighted, delirious!
Wow! That was just awesome! Great music!
Universel et fédérateur, merci DZ
It's good Young musicians have something "else" to play ..
This is a smorgasborg of smiles
Amazing!

Dweezil is a Amazing Guitarist, got to see him in Houston, last year and wow, Frank taught him well!
Dweezil taught himself well. But you're right, he did a have a very high bar to achieve. :)
Dweezil capitalizing on his father's very special and distinctive guitar virtuosity, really rips it up. Great guitarist/musician.
Dweezil Zappa plays the legendary Gibson "Roxy" guitar from his father
It's not the original Roxy. The original got badly damaged and Frank put a big black scratchplate on it that covered most of the body.
I believe it’s the 2013 reissue of a replica of FZ’s. Its a nice guitar doubt I’d ever have one
Thank u !
Till this day , no one and I mean no one has even come close to ZAPPA'S genius 😎
Captain Beefheart 😃👍
WOWOW VERSION, MUSIC IS THE BEST !!!!
Thanks Dweezil ... love you!
Beautiful.
thank you so much! what a great pleasure to listen!
Impresionante.
Dweezil did that damn good justice ...left nothing to be desired ...his father literally lives in him...proof positive of the power of dna
immediate joy
exrtaordinaire. Stunning performance of everybody.
What a solo from Dweezil....wow!
A hymne on Zappa...... thank you folks
Very nice !
Superb version, Frank would approve I am sure.
That's so uptown. Like a Florsheim shoe.
Absolutamente grandioso. Enhorabuena.
Sexy saxophone!
the trumpet sounds sexy too, but you didn't mention that, huh? ;-) grtz from Belgium.
@That big one The first or second sax; wich one do you mean? ;-)
Wow. Dweezils solo is unreal.
Captain Slowhand Sure Tone really is intensive percussoid Bliss.
That solo has fz good vibes with the opposites intersection Loop of Ruth ( Speedy Gonzales) Underwood .
A refreshing contrast indeed!
I'm now hearing a Dueling Vibes run as I stop the spin to write this.
this really swings !
Dweezil tiene otro sentimiento al tocar la guitarra,diria yo hasta mejor que su padre.
The homie with the big boy sax killed it! Everyone else was a little afraid to cut loose but still a nice performance...
CoTheReal The kid with tone? Man, what pro sounding sax!
@@ronlight7013 indeed!
Yeah, I liked him. He looks like Sal Nistico and has a tone like Gato Barbieri. But I also enjoyed the flautist and keyboard player.
