I'll tell you what ....I don't think the vocal harmonies in Zappa's band ever sounded as good as this. This is an incredible performance of this tough piece of music. And where they bust in the Rollo section at 3:18 is great. I defy any guitar player to learn this section and play it at tempo. Great job Dweezil.
3:57 Father 'Oblivion and on till the end , This piece never fails to bring a smile and sense of amusement, as well as amazement! .... STUNNING musicianship on one of Frank's most difficult pieces. Edgard Varèse - 'The present day composer refuses to die.'
this is just incredible. It's played with surgerical precision. Lacks a little bit of 'soul' compared to Frank's performances, but it's right like that I suppose. Indredible job.
any songwriter in the world cannot even reach this level in terms of Frank Zappas musical abilities, let them all attack Zappa and Zappa will still be unscathed. Pure Genius that incomparable in human standard
Frank always took so many liberties and didnt like to sing the stuff so true to the album.This is incredible!So great Dweez.and Napoleon Murphry Brock keepin it real!
i have watched the literal fuck out of this concert (amongst a 1000 others). if you havent spent half your life doing so, i recommend it. like classical music it just makes you a better, wholesome utility- muffin.
@@wardrich"Zappa Plays Zappa" (Dweezil Zappa Franks son on guitar) is a double disc DVD or CD of 2 performances (Seattle, WA & Portland, OR) 2007ish I believe.
Frank was so far advanced. I heard him for the first time on a pirate radio station in Gary, IN. Inca Roads. That 'WOWED' me and I followed. There is joy here. Unlike other groups. These guys respect the audience, not expecting to sell $100 T-Shirts, Though, they still like it.
They should have played Nanook Rubs It also, beause the transition from that song to St Alphonso is the way those songs are locked in most people's head... Besides I want to hear about the fur trapper ND the led filled snow shoe and how he has to go trudging across the tundra mile after mile , right down to the parish of St. Alphonso. It is like they yada yada the best part of the story.
Right on kids keep up the good work, running around the McCormick Place at The NAMM Show so many years ago, I bumped into Moon and Dweezil Zappa, man I play and had been listening to Frank Zappa for over 25 years at that point, what a pleasure it was to bump into Musical Geniuses, I had caught George Duke with Billy Cobham here in Chicago at Just Music before it became Guitar Center some years before that.
@y7u7r7i yeah, that rollo section in the middle of St Alphonzo took me 5 days of playing nothing else just to get it to around half speed. They take it at a hell of a rate here

It melts my head to imagine how DIFFICULT it must be to play this live. Good job !
Magnificent. I got chills during the "Good morning your highness/I brought you your snowshoes" part.
Fucking best part
i cant tell you how many years 5:54 has been stuck in my head
3:18 is a monstrously difficult passage, absolutely fantastic execution.
I just got on my feet and did the funky Alfonzo. Need to sit down now.
2:22 can we talk about the female playing both the sax & the keys at the same time
That’s real talent!!!
On Scheila!

Yes it is so good, but i know exactly what you mean! The YCDTOSA1 version of yellow snow is the absolute GOAT imo
@@benvizemusic Absolutely. The YCDTOSA version blows my mind everytime I listen to it.
Artists create and the untalented critique. Frank would be proud.

Love that dweezil plays the rollo interior on the guitar too
this is very well rehearsed to get all this shit right. hard work.
50 años después la música de Zappa sigue siendo de vanguardia!!!! Genio bigotudo!!!!!
Frank always took so many liberties and didnt like to sing the stuff so true to the album.This is incredible!So great Dweez.and Napoleon Murphry Brock keepin it real!
Holy moly - Is Ruth Underwood on Mallets?
Every single player is killing it.
Keep Making Your Dad Proud

Top tier musicians.
That was beautifully done. If FZ were alive, he would've been head-bobbin' smilin'.
What a great fucking band. Frank nods his head in approval while trying to lick his way out from beneath the yellow snow.
Amazing percussion addition at the end. Hats off, kudos for who wrote that. Thank you very much.
That's why Frank was a genius.
This tour was the s**t!! NMB, Bozzio & Vai. Short of Frank coming back from the dead you’re not topping that lineup.
this DVD is absolutely positively the best spent $ you will ever pay. order it ....now!
What's it from? I don't even know who this is 😭 it was a rando youtube recommendation prob based on all the Zappa I've been grooving to

@@therealnednarly thanks!!
Her name is Scheila Gonzalez
Good Morning your Highness!!
Wow...awesome performance! Frank would be proud of his son.
Napoleon Murphy Brock rockin' like ol' times.
He is fantastic!
@@ullihoffmann980 I would say he was the best lead vocalist and front man that Zappa had after Flo and Eddie.
Incredible

I've seen Dweezil a few times..his dad would be proud
I saw him in Liverpool.
The old fella would indeed be proud.
I just can't go a day without watching this, it's just so good. Such a phenomenal performance
ZPZ played the entire album on a tour 2 years ago. This year they are doing "Roxy and Elsewhere."
Epic performance by the best zappa plays zappa band ever!!
what blows me away is Dweezel playing Rollo Interior on guitar!
I'm in total agreement. I'm almost in shock hearing him now...he has grown leaps and bounds as a guitar player! Frank would be so proud.
And Iam clapping out loud, here. Standing too, lighter held high!!
My favourite Zappa song !
Sorry ,songs .
I was disappointed that they didn’t give us Nanook Rubs it
Still bloody amazing tho
This is just WOW!!!
just brutal....its like yer cryin uncle and they sill wont let up...love this stuff
I challenge anyone to start watching this and not see it out till the end. Pure brilliance!
Fucking beautiful! Brought a year to my eye. R.I.P to the great one!
WTF , I'm 67 y old , time's flyin by , 'n these are back , again and 4 all
Thank's for uploading!! this is just amazing, grate song!
The funky music keeps on rollin !!
They should have played Nanook Rubs It also, beause the transition from that song to St Alphonso is the way those songs are locked in most people's head...

Frank would be so happy &proud !.
THe video description alone deserves everyone to put this vid on their favs list
absolutely fantastic!!
I can't imagine hauling this much gear. Setting up and taking down. Sounds awesome.
Thank you very much Dweezil . That was beautiful.
Y’all go see this band when they come to town.
uh, yes indeed.
I like this too. Although not a huge Dweez fan. But well done here,.. and Joe Traverse is a great Great drummer !
This is tighter then Joan Rivers face!!!
Just brilliant and Franks kids dont get close to enough credit.
Es lo primero que oí de Zappa hace más de 35 años y hoy al oírlo se me saltan las lágrimas. Gracias a todos.
Fantastici!
Good job, folks!
dweezel looks so content,i wonder if the female sax player is napoleons Brocks daughter?also the music is perfect.
sweet child o mine
Totally Brilliant!
what a great performance
Thank You- thank you, thank you, Dweezil. From my heart.
To play this song live is a feat. This is beyond amazing. Phi Zappa Crappa
Thankyou for music 💞

Yep Dweezil and band are rocking it!!!
no, my dad had a '74 Catalina with an 8-track.....it was the only 8 track I had....
Still great entertaining music
Phouck! Yaa! bad ass
dweezil is easily one of the most underrated guitarists
He’s a great singer
Good times
love it...
@y7u7r7i yeah, that rollo section in the middle of St Alphonzo took me 5 days of playing nothing else just to get it to around half speed. They take it at a hell of a rate here
STILL AS GREAT AS WHEN I FIRST HEARD IT WAY BACK IN THE 70S.
super mega
Dude is good, love it
Awesome!!!
Greatness!
When i heard St. Aphonso s Pancake Breakfast for the first Time i couldnt believe humans played it.
i didnt blink, what a music lesson
Damn,this is awesome..
real good tribute, with that salsa part at the end...
Ol‘ SaintAlfonso would be proud.
every friday in school, they play a crappy pop song, this is what they need to play :)
HOLY SHIT !!!! NOTE FOR NOTE>>> COOL
Tight and smoking, the added treat being Napoleon on lead. Of course, Dweezil would assemble such an amazing band.
I'm Really Suprised of that don't have at least 1 million views...
so, perfect.
Crazy good rendition , faultless .
very good!!! good job!!
Dominus vobiscum!
Wow!
Find ja immer gut,wenn Zappas Kompositionen weiterleben.
Wollte aber grad Zappa hören.
Holly shit, this is fucking great. This band is just awesome. Perfect!
