    That drummer looks like he's loving this stuff. Not a dull moment for him.

    I’m 65. I would have never imagined the two main guys from The Turtles would have hooked up with the legendary Frank Zappa. Then(~1973) I listened to the 1971 live recording of The Mothers at Fillmore East!

      I agree, who wouldn't ever think of that? They are kind of slapstick comedy, if you think about it, and Frank Zappa always had people try to make them laugh.He loves to laugh He got his hands-on these 2 guys and rocked it out more rock and roll than mother's sound. Which I also love.I love it all

      So Happy Together sung on The Mothers Live at Filmore is a classic. The entire album is incredible. The album I was weened on back in '71. That year, Zappa, Tull and Gentle Giant. Added Neal Morse about 20+ years ago. That's all I ever needed.

      I'm fairly sure this clip was taken from the "Uncle Meat" video Zappa released in the 80s. It's full of weird little home movies like this, along with some weird ongoing gag between his secretary and Don Preston.

    I'm gonna be an outlier here. The album cover might say MOI but the goofball iteration featuring Kaylan and Volman simply cannot compare with the classic MOI. Compared to the artists who gave us Freak Out to Burnt Weeny Sandwich this lineup is the beginning of the dumbed down years.

    • @donweiss4447
      @donweiss4447 2 роки тому +1

      I think the classic original lineup was more musically talented and adventurous but this version was more comedic and had perhaps the better lead vocals. I wasn't that crazy about most of the '70s era.
