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.

#FrankZappa #Montana #ATokenOfHisExtreme
I always envied and admired FZ. He never aquired the commercial success of a lot of the acts of his era. But like he said in his autobiography, he made enough money to have his own home, his own studio, and pretty much record what he wanted to and tour when he wanted to. Who could really ask for more? A prime example of someone who did it his way.
Well, yes but he did make millions of dollars and keep his artistic integrity . He never sold out.
@@ilikezappa
This is exactly what the first guy said. He always had things the way he wanted them to be. No less
It's a perfect do. Snap!
Agree, not to say he didn't have probs too but he saved alot more stress off his his life, very creative like him.
He was a decent musician technically, and the master at selling the emperor's new clothes.
Zappa is an acquired taste musically because he is doing so many things, taking so many risks. He hooks you in with the comedy angle but he's serious about his music. I interviewed Frank when I was in high school at the Record Plant in LA. He was totally humble, totally cool. He let us hang out while he mixed the Zappa in New York album. Then after the interview was over I said to him, "You'll just do this, like let some high school schmo like me interview you?" Zappa smiled and said, "Sure, why not - it beats the shit out of the Tom Snyder Show." I laughed, shook his hand, and that was that. Still have a couple photos to remind me of him on the boards mixing his music. Tragic early death, avoidable and a great loss to the world of music. RIP Frank. Thanks for the music, and thanks for the laughs.
TATTOO VAMPIRE1966 Thank you! It was an exceptional moment in time. I remember, before the interview started, I was leaning up against an old (then fairly new) pinball machine called "Fireball" in the lobby of The Record Plant - and this guy walks up to me in a trench coat with a thermos of coffee in one had, the other outstretched toward me. He looked into my eyes and said, "Hi, I'm Frank Zappa." I stuttered and said, "Umm, Yeah, I'm David - this is my crew. We're here to do that interview." "Yeah - I know" he said. "Come on in the studio - I'm working on something." So yeah, it was very cool - thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts!
Couldn't have ever hoped for a better taste in music, when listening to Frank I can just sit back, smile and enjoy every second of it.
MrSpleeno awesome story!
MrSpleeno Tom Snyder, not "Schneider."
you would be correct, sir! my apologies!
For all who are complaining about the editing during the solo--Frank himself edited this.
of course he did
Seems about right.
Ok. Frank Zappa is a shit editor.
@@mustafaamirnaifalimari9041 you obviously don’t get it
Frank needs to chill out then
I can't even begin to imagine how insanely hard it must have been to play in his band, the amount of rehearsal hours must have been insane. Steve Vai said they had to know 80 Zappa songs like the back of their hand and Franks would decided the set list right before the show.
Zappa sucks
What a way to keep em all sharp
I read somewhere (I sound viable I know) that Chester Thompson needed 40 hours of reharsals per months to be ready for a tour with Zappa...
He was s tyrant as well. God forbid a band-mate make a mistake.
@@tampabaybuccaneersfan7904 You need help...
I'm 62 and have seen Zappa 5 times in concert. All in Chicago during the 70's, with a couple of car loads of friends, all tripping on acid every time. Great memories.....
NICE.
@@cnsk646Frank Zappa didn't do drugs.
only way to see him!
He didn't. But we did! lol@@LucyLennon909
@@LucyLennon909 His drugs of choice were titties and beer.
One of the greatest and most underrated musicians to ever walk the earth.
He was not underrated at all. What makes you assume that ?
@@fredlscmb I imagine he means underappreciated in terms of the number of people that are actually familiar with his work these days
He's certainly not underrated. But I barely know anyone that can name a song of his, or an album, and you know he has plenty.
Underrated? More like world famous.....
Definitely. I put him right up there with likes of Rick Springfield, Joe Jackson, Rush..even Joe Cocker. Legend!
I agree 👍! 100%
Dating a girl and I'm in the shower singing Montana. The door opened and she said, "what the hell are you singing"? She was not familiar with Zappa at all. Thus began her journey into Frank's music. Thirty three years of blissful marraige have gone by. Thanks Frank!
Dinah Mo Hum?
"the stuff in the bottom was like punching an eclair"?
"hey there people I'm Bobby Brown"?
"she gave it a wanking"?
You are lucky. Most male Zappa fans write about how their wives hate Frank's music.
Hold up. You’ve been showering for thirty-three years straight???!
My wife hates franks music.....
@@mikebarker7626 Most women don't like Frank's music. I'm guessing but I think about 5% if that, of Frank Zappa's fans are women.
During Zappa's solo the film editor was trying to do a solo too.
Man got me im dyng cause of laughters
hahahahahah
Moronic video editing
Ahahahaha
Zappa edited it himself. It‘s his signature editing technique ;)
So, I’ve heard this guy’s name for the last 40 years and never seen or heard his music. What a great song for my first Zappa experience!
Give a listen to Dinah-Moe Hum :-)
Thanks Gary!
@@thistime4you sorry, don’t know why I said “Gary”…thanks anyways.
I had the privilege of seeing him live twice. Love his eclectic style. It’s worth learning more about him and his music. I hope you enjoy your dive into the world of Zappa.
Zapa Garage : please listen
Frank Zappa was far ahead of his time, vastly intelligent, and a true musical pioneer and genius.
Frank would be ahead of his time if he started out today. He was something! Saw the Mothers in the mid 1970s. They were amazing.
I agree, Frank was such a genius and musical prodigy. Loved this guy so much.
This is genuinely the first Frank Zappa song I have ever listened to 🤣
Wow, seriously? Let side 1 of Joe's Garage be the next. It's a lively story about a sweet young Catholic girl named Mary.
Nope. Couldn't get through that with a straight face. 😂
Me too! Because I am from Montana I wanted to hear it.
I also listened because I wanted to hear it. Coincidence? I think not.
@@stvartak7164 The starts are aligning
I bought the LP in 1978, because Montana was so impressing
Words can't explain how original this is
dental floss
@@eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-s3p on g frfr
On god
@@eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-s3p ha ha
Absolutely agree! Poo poo, ta-la-la.
This band was his crowning achievement. When you have George, Ruth, and Napoleon, you can’t go wrong.
This band and the original Mothers are just frighteningly phenomenal lineups
Love Ruth ❤❤❤❤
The bass ain’t no slouch here either. Tom Fowler right?
@@marauder600 Yes.
Let's not forgey Chester on the drums.
Still amazing...never tired of it for 6 decades.
Did you see him live?
Many times.. worked with him in Indianoplace, Indianada in early 70.
As a fellow Mental Toss Flycoon(local 657) I can relate to Mr Zappas yearnings for Montana, its pygmy pony population, it's heavy duty zircon encrusted tweezer industry, and dental floss farming communities .
it's all explained 4 these times in the vanity fair article
Franks guitar tone during the solo is heavenly
Zappa had so much fucking style in his guitar playing. He is among the best of the best.
Yeah, his solos were so alive man
Shit ugly zappa changed the World of boring assholes 🤣
He died like a miserable bum at the end 🤣 🤣
An arrogant asshole
@@seanbrennan5192 check your brain and your diapers first before you talk about music 🤣 🤣 🤣
An arrogant asshole like his Fans 🤣🤣🤣
Frank Zappa and George Duke: two genius that we never, never forget!
Sweet baby the smash hit he did with Stan Clarke,is one of misic inspirations and I had pratice their piano riffs and doing divj with congas and straight doloki drum sets
@Al's Room I hope that in this past year you have seen more videos of George Duke playing with Zappa and also talking about his music. George Duke came to FZ through Jean-Luc Ponty.
Also Ruth Underwood
He did know how to surround himself with the very best musicians. Those percussionists are unreal.
Steve Vai has a hell of a story about how Frank auditioned him. I would assume he had similar standards for the percussionists
Lets see on sept 10th how dweezel perform HOT RATS.
and more.
They are real
@@jessenicoletta4160 He probably had higher standards for drummers,being a drummer himself in his earliest avatar. Jummy Carl Black, Aynsley Dunbar, Ralph Humphrey, Ruth Underwood, Chester Thompson, Terry Bozzio, Vinnie Colaiuta, Chad Wackerman...thats some list. The second guitarist spot was also a who's who of guitars - Vai, KInnealy, Belew, but they were primarily there as "stunt" guitarists.
@Karthikeyan Subramanian Help me out - that’s Chester Thompson here, right? I had totally forgotten that he played for Frank. I’ve always been more into the Terry and Vinnie stuff, but he kills it here.
Always loved Montana. This version is just brilliant. Truly miss Frank Zappa!
Dad tried to get me into Zappa as a 9 year old… I wasn’t ready for such brilliance until about 18/19. My dumb little 9 year old brain could not comprehend such brilliant musicianship.
I did not learn to appreciate Zappa until I turned 50, and that was this year...So you got the hang soon enough and I'm happy there's lots of us out there!
i am a 14 year old who is a music enthusiast, i got myself into frank zappa tthrough the band Primus, who was inspired by Zappa's weirdness, and one day i just got curious and listetned to zappa for the first time, best idea ever.
@@chimpysouthist that's awesome just turned 18 and been listening to zappa and PRIMUS big time since around 10 y/o, pick up and instrument anything and just jam along with it. listen to Harold of the rocks from Primus
It's pretty difficult for any brain to comprehend. Even more difficult to play.
You n me both (almost), mate... My !st was Zoot Allures in 1977. We were 13, And this was Sweden.
Bud: "I don't get this?"
Me: "Interesting."
"A buck."
".50. and A tackle. Mackerel Sat."
"Deal."
Torture never stops. - The title. It grabbed me.
(Btw, we didn't catch anything.)
"Or whatever that means..." throws the cigarrete and then the most unique guitar solo, ive seen this video like 889574 times
Yeah, I love it too, even though the edit in this video is a bit weird 😇 The audio only version on Spotify is slightly different.
I was fortunate enough to see him live twice. Awesomeness to the extreme!
When I was 3-4 year old child my father listened Frank Zappa at home all the time. I loved it. Now I am 43 and my favourite is FZ.
I wish the video edit changed the camera angles a bit quicker, i'm not quite reaching a seizure yet
😂😂😂
Very few people seem to know what they are doing with a camera in their hand
@@rockinroll6342 oh no, the cameramen were great, the editor of this video on the other hand, a fucking spastic
lol
@@catalinsalcieanu4640 you know that frank himself edited this? :P
It's 2020. Whether he made big money, or drew arena-sized crowds, or his humor offended anyone or not, is now completely beside the point. All that matters is the music. And that was, and is, and will always remain - absolutely *spectacular.*
He's gone nearly 27 years now and I miss him more with each passing day.
As a child, I recorded this album from students for 3 rubles from a Riga-101 gramophone to a Chaika-M tube tape recorder. It was a shock to hear such unbridled psychedelia in the USSR in 1969.
I was not fascinated by Frank Zappa, but his raw, unfinished creations did not disappear without a trace from my memory ... Bittersweet nostalgia, 52 years have passed, but I remembered the melodies and even some phrases of the songs ..! It was an amazing experience, although I didn't become a fan of it...because in those days there was so much amazing new music every month !! I thought it would always be like this...
Thank you Frank for the track "If Only She Woulda"!
Frank Zappa's mother is Italian but 1/4 French, father is Greek/Arab...! You can feel it in my favorite album "Absolutely Free" :-)
It’s amazing you used Rubles. We know that’s Russian money. I think I have a couple in my coin collection.
Chester Thompson is the most amazing drummer in a long line of Mr Zappa's amazing drummers.
So true
How about a short “fusion-inspired” drum cover of this brilliant classic: enjoy! 🤩
ua-cam.com/users/shortsSB1ksYH2Omk?feature=share
Yeah this drummer rips!
I'm a bit partial to Bozio, but CT doesn't suck.
I like how the video was edited. It was nice to be able to watch Frank zappa play guitar without having a seizure
A nightmare. Had to stop watching and just listen. Not bad either though.
MY MOM CIRCUMCISED ME AT THE AGE OF 17
Good for you.
Shut up 'n play yer guitar.
Trump for Russian president!
I had my tooth cleaned, and played this song on my iPad. My tooth ain’t not has never been no cleaner, no shinier, than it is now. Thanks to Montana!
My favorite of Zappa's bands. Truly incredible.
Here's to Ruth Underwood. What a fantastic musician.
Ruth went to Juilliard
Yes utterly fantastic
The MVP
Ruth's percussion work is incredibly complex and virtuostic!
On Ruth!
There will never be another Frank Zappa..he was one of a kind...
This song and Cosmik Debris have the potential to cure depression. They always make me smile due to how quirky they are.
I bought the lp in 1977.
My daughter used dental floss often, which always reminds me of moving to Montana
@@ingefranz2013thats a nice memory.
I don't understand why this live concert never comes up as one of Zappa's best, by far the best I have ever heard
frank laughed and smiled more times in this show alone than he did during the entire 80's
Ruth Underwood is an amazing musician and a lovely human being
I loved Zappa because he always made us think outside the box. In my opinion, there hasn't been an artist and band that even compares to him since he passed.
On first listen the only thing I can think of that sounds familiar is an album by Esperanza Spalding called 12 Little Spells. I really like hearing sounds that I haven’t heard anywhere else
I miss chill jam solos like this. The world needs more of this. Hey, you, World, do more of them. Yah, you.
My favourite Mothers with Napoleon Murphy Brock, Ruth Underwood, George Duke, Chester Thompson and Tom Fowler, sheer musical brilliance.
What a performance, what a band and what a leader. I can only admire the contributions of Ruth Underwood and George Duke so precious in the best years of FZ.
My face is MELTED from that guitar solo, combined with the trippy AF light show it literally blinds you. One of Zappa's best performances
I love to see how George Duke enjoys the harmony while playing the piano as if painting a picture.
I had front row seats to a concert of his in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in the 70s. Was impressed by his control of the volume, and his expertise. What a loss when he left this earth.
I get so happy watching Zappa videos.
One unintentional thing that I love, is the "...in a little white BOX!" part. The feedback became a part of his voice.
Beautiful.
Definite power behind that word.
I’ve never been happier listening to music he is a savant like no other I’m on the brink of crying
same here mate
Genius.... Saw this in 10th grade.... turned me on to a whole new world... Rip Francis....
outstanding... damn.... I still can't get enough of Zappa...Last time I seen Frank Zappa was Ohio in 1977 ...RIP brother...
I'm 23, and pissed this isn't on the radio. At least I got to hear this masterpiece once. Zappa had so much raw talent!
Dweezil learned from dad!!!
There's so much to love and comment on each time I listen to a Zappa track. Napoleon Brock really sells the performance and for years I think he was the glue holding the entire thing together. No matter how far out Frank went, Napoleon could bring back some recognizability to bring the piece back to the grove so they could go around again. I think I'm going to read the Zappa Book again soon.
.. e.g. ... Nap @ 1:23 and 3:34 = channeling his inner Al Jarreau ! 🙏 ✊️ 😃
I adore the interlude after the solo, its so incredibly fun to sing along to
It's so brilliant and gets better every watch. Thank you UA-cam for allowing to see these videos over and over again.
One of my all-time favorite songs. Not just from Frank, but of all time.
In the first few seconds of this clip you can see what calibre of musicianship Ruth Underwood has when she goes beat for beat with Chester Thompson. Amazing!!
Frank Zappa- the original and most complicated shitpost. This is genius.
Listen closely to these lyrics. They seem somehow strangely relevant in today's political swamp:
ua-cam.com/video/oNULHGsy3SE/v-deo.html
Well Beyond Genius even SUPER GENIUS if you will or if you wont.
@@donkeysharktube the entire joe's garage album is about the corporate empire destroying music and the gradual descent of the general masses into worshiping materialism and pissing their lives away for corporate jobs. the lead character falls in love with a sex robot and the totalitarian police state sentences him to factory labor after he destroys it. zappa predicted the future.
shitposts dont have a point. this has too many.
@@JV-up8or ?
ZAPPA IS A BOSS. Let him cook now, this is a musical genius at work. His band is just fantastic.
This is the first time ive ever actually listened to zappa, and I didn’t expect anything less
Great creative lead guitar by Frank with a great band.I am happy to say I saw him several times in the 60's and early 70's and thoroughly enjoyed it every time
April 26, 1974 - in the old Arena at UW-Eau Claire
Mind blown! Hardest working band I’ve ever seen to this day!
A random memory -
Napoleon Murphy Brock had a very athletic build like an American football player. He was really dancing it up that night and completely split his pants wide open! Someone threw him a white towel and he finished the concert with it wrapped around his waist.
They have mastered their art to the point where they can have soooo much fun with it. Playing the instruments is like walking for them. It just flows right out
The solo is phenomenal. So satisfying & mezmorizing.
ONE OF THE BEST MUZITIONS TO HAVE EVER EXIST I'M 70 NOW AND STILL LISTEN AND HAVE ALL HIS OLD VINEL
Been on the earth for 36 years and finally gave Zappa a chance. I see what the fuss is about, awesome.
Frank Vincent Zappa was simply in a class all by himself. He is EASILY one of the greatest musicians to have ever lived. We will never see his like again..
agreed, he was rare breed
Doesn't beat John Mayer or Tupac. Those types made new genre popular and made pop music money same time!
I don’t know about Tupac, but he definitely beats John Mayer. The hell outta here with that nonsense.
The musicians' level of skills is just unbelievable xD
I saw Frank back in the 70s in St. Paul, Mn. At the civic center. What a show they put on. To this day I still say it was the best concert of my life and no one has ever top it yet. Rest In Peace Frank, you are forever missed and thanks for the memories.
I love it at about 5:45 "watch you're sharp on that thing..." then some side eye at 6:00. Brilliant. Always the conductor. I wonder how much was the fine?
Mannn why can’t we have musicians like this today?
No one will ever be like Zappa, but I think you’ll be happy to know how many Zappa-inspired acts are getting popular today, notably the English post-punk scene rn. There are always great musicians all the time if you look for them. If you haven’t already, check out black midi
We do! Check out "Zappa Plays Zappa", his son's band!
We didn't have musicians like these back then except in Frank's bands
may i introduce you, Black Midi perhaps
We are either so enamored with his majesty that we don't think we can do it well enough, or (the more hasty/impressionable ones) are so enamored that we try to recreate the spirit and vibe without the proper skill/technique. And then there's people who learn it properly and play it properly and sound really close. His invention of music is extremely unique so the recreations are susceptible to extreme criticism. As opposed to recreating an invention of a piece of paper which does the job and is useful all the same.
Work of Art right here. Musical Masterpiece. Every musician is on fire. The only thing Frank is lacking ; is a cape. Wow. ...and to think Ive been listening to this since the late 70s, and Im still floored.
"Going to Montana soon, gonna be a mental toss flycoon"
"Whatever that means" *guitar solo*
thank you, most on point observation.
Thank you. I don't think it's so on point though. After listening again I think he says "I wonder what that means" not "Whatever that means"
But guitar solo in bold really hits home that moment I thought
He's probably thinking about mental masturbation and flying in his mind to some sexy place in Montana in his own head-case, lol.... The song has hidden meanings, mainly about a chick's unshaved/untrimmed pubes bahahahahaha...
Dental floss
This is fucking incredibile.
+Bitter Strike! Cartoons It really is isn't it.
Yes, it certainly is!
So goooood
Oh shit. It's Matthew Shezmen on a random fucking frank zappa video. I just rewatched a couple of your souls videos last week. This is what happens when you can't sleep.
you haven't seen a dental hygienist lately...sir, please floss
How can you not respect this man?! Everything he freakin did was super over the top. And he always nailed it. GOD DAMN.
The Legend lives in his songs. Satire in music tells it all. Listen between the words and know.
those flash cuts killing me... the music is complicated enough, don't need to freak my eyes out to boot!
Was just thinking the same...Thank Gawd im not on schroomies or white clinical lmao
The man
The myth
The legend
Rip Frank
I try to have a little frank
In my life every day
Miss you frank
this is a certified hood classic
"Damn son, where'd you find this"
Hood? Don't ruin it, will ya?
The sound quality of this recording is great.
Unusually gritty and grimy tone for Zappa in this lead, I absolutely love it. Thanks for posting.
This is epic. Such difficult to play music being made sound so easy and laid back.
Jelle Waltman ok this, is epic
It's a real pleasure to listen this band of exceptional musicians and can you imagine the pleasure they take in playing together ?
Superb, excellent, stunning, wonderful Zappa and all his band!!!!
J'ai vu 4 fois Frank Zappa en concert dans mon pays la Suisse. Les meilleurs concerts de ma vie mais Frank Zappa est simplement le meilleur musicien rock du monde et pourtant j'en ai vu des concerts.vive Zappa et R.I.P Zappa the great
Loves me some Zappa. Thanks Frank!
I LOVE ZAPPA'S MUSIC
Looks like his band has so much fun jamming and I love it! I feel like Frank is as ahead of his time for sure! People didn’t know what to think lol
Every time I hear about the state of Montana, this songs plays in my mind
LOLOL!!! YES!
This one of the most beautiful things I’ve experienced. Finally something to express how I feel
Like him or not...Frank Zappa played the hell out of a guitar.
@Evil Robin LOL. OKAY. Did you check out Shut up and Play Your Guitar?! or like anything else
I get laughed at when I tell people to listen to how good he was. They just see the lampooning
@Evil Robin and here folks we have someone who has no clue about guitar playing but can't keep his mouth shut
@@texasjr1804
So, Tex, don t bother anymore. Just keep the joy of understanding Frank's music to yourself. It id their loss
Alexander Kalinchenko if I chewed gum, spit it on the ground and said “that’s art!”... I’d have a better artistic argument than “Zappa was pretty good at guitar”.
This is my favorite band of all of Frank's bands..
It's my favorite song about Dental Floss...
Agreed, but it's a tough call.
Darren A. I agree. This is by far the best dental floss song going. It hit the charts with a bullet.,. A bullet!
Mine too, though Dudleys Brush & Floss comes a close second.
I can not floss without thinking of this song...
I say best song about dental floss&giving ur foot a push ever! Period.Can " u" name one better?I dare say, u cannot sir....Arf,arf arf!!!!SMASH ALL BOXES ON🐆🎃💽's....,,🎵FZ,🎸🎶
I was introduced to Zappa in the early 80's... and from then on in loved his music...A very unique music artist...
GREEEEEEAT!!!! Frank Zappa - Montana!!!!!!!!
Thanks for posting,
Eagle Rock
“Goin' to Montana soon
Gonna be a dental floss tycoon . . .”
Frank come back! We need you so badly right now!
the moment they lock in vocally with the first "movin to Montana soon, gonna be a dental floss tycoon" is such an effortlessly cool moment, look forward to it every time
Such amazing musicians. Not easy to achieve this technical perfection with such strange and complex music... for sure they felt a lot of respect for the man, and passion for his artistry.
Poo poo tana na . Then a monster solo . Love it !
I had a older lady come into my headshop an reminded me about zap! Unlocked a old memory for me 😭
I am very thankful that I got to see him in Detroit back in the 80's.
I love the energy in this version of Montana. Napoleon’s just in the groove, man. lmao
Thanks for sharing these old concerts. I'm introducing my children to my childhood. I didn't realize Frank Zappa was such a weirdo. 🤣😂🤣❤
Seriously impressed by NMB covering the Ikettes' vocal on this. Awesome vocalist in his own right!
Oh! I finally get that goddamn shirt; only took me thirty-five plus years.
My first concert (1983) was from Iron Maiden’s Piece of Mind tour; I was nine years old; had backstage passes and got to meet the band, et cetera, because my mother worked and was friends with a lady who’s son was in the band: Michael Kenny.
Anyway, on their tour/year book - which I have signed - one of the pictures in the book is of Steve Harris and Dave Murray. Dave’s shirt reads - No, We’re Not An English Band.
Steve’s reads - We’re Dental Floss Salesmen From Montana.
