It was 1966, a 15 year old kid walks into the record store (me) and purchases the Mothers of Invention "Freak Out" album and it was at that point my life changed forever and thanks to Frank Zappa I have never nor will I ever become a plastic person.
he could also make a musical instrument out of anything and make it sound good, his first appearance on tv was on very early steve allen show back when it was black and white and he brought a bicycle with him and turned it into a musical instrument and played it: ua-cam.com/video/S5-RUCrWAqk/v-deo.html , he was a classicaly trained musician and wrote several pieces fro symphony and even conducted the orchestra on occasion when they played his pieces
AHHH, I made a post asking about the claymation work. I used to know Bruce on a daily basis. He lived down the road from me in Renton, Washington. He was unbelievably artistic and not just in clay, but pure art drawing and painting. He actually told me that Frank shorted him on payments for his claymation work.
@@pgo301that’s surprising because Frank was typically known to honour his contracts - and in some cases actually paid more than asked (an example being him paying the Ikettes $25/hr despite Ike Turner asking frank to only pay $25/session).
It's hard to imagine the world of 'real contemporary' music existing without Frank. It's like if he wasn't there, there would be this large hole or big gap that would've been very difficult to fill. Only Frank could've accomplished that.
I love all Frank's music but his guitar playing in this era of the 70s is my favorite. He let the guitar have a lot of space to breathe between phrases and riffs. His solos also had a lot of good musical quotes that blended well into whatever key was playing in.
@@barnowl97 Ich höre immer wenn Frank die E-Gitarre spielt! Steve Vai fragte Frank beim Frühstück, ich glaube in Rom, wie er spielte, Frank sagte: Dein spiel hört sich an wie ein gequetschtes Sandwich! Jop.
damn! almost every video I have seen of Frank playing live, he's always smiling and some giggle can be seen... this man was a true genius and he enjoyed it a lot. I really enjoy all his music, every tune and arrangement is just... impressive
Probably the greatest guitarist ever. Wasn't status quo, so they dissed him. I wish I was old enough at the time to dig this. That's ok. Frank Zappa lives forever!
Zappa is a divine energy flow of the Universe. Even after the Earth is gone, Zappa will be out there as electromagnetic radiation vibing about trivial solar flares and the funny sounds they make and how the moon is sorta like Earths younger less popular brother.
My stupid ass was listening to rap when he was having his last concerts. The year after I got into him he died and I never got a chance to see him. Althogh I saw twice Zappa Plays Zappa, he was OUT OF THIS WORLD and did his papa proud!
Perseus Rex You should check out the Holographic Bizarre World of Frank Zappa tour that hitting the road soon. It’s all new Holographic footage from the early 70’s that’s never been released before, and there’s several guys from Zappa’s old band’s playing too! Probably the closest you’ll ever get to seeing the man “in the flesh” so to speak.
I love how he laughed sometimes when he knew some music had silly lyrics. Nice. That claymation was also funny. Some of his songs even have a simple progression like this one.
Some of his songs are literally 2 chords...the same 2 chords...thAts one change...for 8 minutes straight if not longer. But they are still incredibly interesting, never get boring, and sound unlike anything’s else. Some of those songs are my personal favorites. He was so full of talent and creativity, so much so that it’s hard to imagine any other musician/composer, save for a few who were equally genius, that came anywhere near the amount of output and singularly unique creativity. We truly are blessed that he decided to make making music his life’s work.
I miss this man’s music and lyrics like none other. Think about you often Frank, so many laughs and fun surrounded you, thanks for sharing your gift with the world.
As a guitarist, Zappa had the pleasure of making up his solo right on the spot. Sometimes he played bum notes, and other times he went off into a place which took him and the audience to another plane. He himself said he shouldn't be rated along with the greatest of guitarists. Those guys rehearsed their solos to perfection and would always wow the audience, but for him to take the chance on just making it up on the spot was more entertaining for him. Take the guitar solo known as Occam's Razor. It had been edited down to become "On The Bus" on Joe's Garage, but the original solo lasted just under 10 minutes and was the guitar solo from Inca Roads, played live in 1978. I ask, how many guitarists play a solo for 10 minutes and keep it fresh? That was Zappa!
I spoke to Dweezil about Frank and asked him did he ever get bored talking about his dad, the answer is NO because he keeps the music alive for new generations
@@Ahmediter I don't know. I'm not the best person to ask and I'm surprised there are no zealous Zappa fans on here ready to give the answer. I'd also like to know when it was. It looks like one of the happy periods in Frank's life, perhaps mid-70s?
Yes if there is anyone who could write a song about anything it was definitely Frank Zappa! The man was a genius for sure, he refused to dumb himself down with drugs! Something I finally stopped doing a year ago! It’s probably what held me back musically! But I’ll always have hope and faith, that one day I’ll have the job I know I was always meant to do!!!! 🎶🎶🎵🎵🎸🎸🙌🏻☮️😇😎
Can you imagine being at a friends house just hanging out and their sweet little grandma randomly quips about sitting front row at a Zappa show tripping balls during a song about stinky feet? Cause right now that is happening. Those faces in the crowd are just typical college kids that grew up and had (probably) a typical arc with family, kids, house on a cul-de-sac etc; but for at least a moment in time they were witness to a singular moment of perfect expression and holy shit this dominos delivery is taking forever I’m high as hell
I am really into this kind of music but has listened to many if not all rock, blues, jazz and other artists who counts. From the moment I heard this solo years ago I knew it was the best written. It doesn't really matter if improvised or not. How the different motives flows into each other and just enough repititive. However the background music is quite easy though the way he builds tension is just another level. He was especially shining on this concert.
La gente di colore che suonava con il grande Frank Zappa esclamava sempre un YEAH !!! di gusto di piacere quasi sessuale nel esibirsi con lui davanti al pubblico.
Frank Zappa come tutti i grandi chitarristi era un po' pigro nel inserire gli assoli di chitarra elettrica nei suoi brani e quando lo faceva lo faceva con un tempo limitato lasciando intravedere il suo grande talento e genio compositivo giocando con lo strumento ed i suoi accordi complessi e difficili da eseguire per questo noi tutti lo rimpiangiamo perchè era un musicista molto esigente e perfezionista nei tempi di inserimento degli strumenti durante le sue canzoni accompagnate spesso da monologhi introduttivi e per il suo modo di fare musica nei concerti è rimasto unico ed ineguagliabile.P.S. R.I.P.
Frank Zappa si è formato con la musica classica e sinfonica in un periodo in cui questo tipo di musica non aveva ormai più niente da dire perchè già aveva dato tutto quello che poteva dare al mondo della musica contemporanea del secolo scorso ed allora decise di applicare ed adattare la sua grande e virtuosa formazione musicale agli stili strumentali moderni Rock mescolando i generi musicali a livello compositivo ed esecutivo lasciandoci dei pezzi musicali di difficile interpretazione ma veramente notevoli per la complessità della loro struttura musicale per questo è stato un grande genio della musica moderna in parte poco conosciuto ed apprezzato di difficile ascolto e comprensione perchè le sue composizioni sembrano campate in aria ed improvvisate ed invece è tutto studiato a tavolino e provato e riprovato per raggiungere la migliore qualità musicale possibile.
That was a awesome video. Took me back to when I saw him in concert years ago. He was an incredible performer! And one of the best guitar players ever.
I thought he was like the 70's version of Weird Al Yankovic growing up. Just goofy crap. Songs like this just backed that up. It wasn't until I became an adult that I could appreciate the brilliance of his writing and musicianship. Now that I am a guitarist, I can REALLY appreciate how good this guy really is.
I may actually like his comedy music better than his "serious" music. Although they intersect, and there's a bit of his twisted sense of humor in making the London Symphony Orchestra play compositions that originally had lyrics like "squat on my blaster, make it go faster".
Waka jawaka and weasels ripped my flesh were my intro to zappa. For a guitar player that’s always wanted more than what I knew I knew, it still blows me away.
Weird Al any artist will tell you, is a phenomenal musician, incredibly talented. The British funny band in 60s 70s was The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah band all highly intelligent master musicians worked with McCartney etc, check song called Urban Spaceman
Framk Zappa was the most versatile composer playing guitar.. and clean as a whistle. Listen past the sense of humility he shares with his audience.never taking his talent too sreious . And Frank Zappa was very talented. A masters of the cleanliness and beauty in
The master of compositional. . Cleanliness and beauty ..alone in a class all his own .I let some artists let all the way in . Zappa you cannot let out . Amazing just amazing
I saw the Roxy video with Mr. Bickford's clay animations in the early 80s (German TV) and was addicted to Zappa music. You don't need to listen to any other artists if you love Zappa.
Che combinasti con questa esibizione live Frank Zappa facevi fare le linguine dalla goduria e bagnare tutte le belle passerone presenti in platea ad ascoltare il tuo genio ed immenso talento compositivo strumentale nel esecuzione dei tuoi brani musicali e strumentali con delle esibizioni epiche passate alla storia della musica Rock e moderna.
частенько слышал заппу но только попадал на его инструментальные вещи и эксперименты и мне он всегда казался серьезным таким дядькой типа Гилмора. Только вчера начал изучать его творчество... Блин, весёлый он был мужик : )
One of the few greats who needed no one for success(Producer, manager, contracts, pushy musicians, changing, editing directing his music). He was the boss..............
It was 1966, a 15 year old kid walks into the record store (me) and purchases the Mothers of Invention "Freak Out" album and it was at that point my life changed forever and thanks to Frank Zappa I have never nor will I ever become a plastic person.
You now have Normalophobia an irrational dislike of normal folks.
Hope you are doing great buddy
Was just listening to that the other day. And had the lyrics to brain police in my head today.. good shit
Zappa was filth
Amen.
Frank Zappa could write a song about anything and make it sound great
Yeahhhh
@Thisnameisalreadytake N
: And that's what he literally did all his life xD
That's part of what made Frank so much fun.
Frank Zappa's whole goal was to take all different kinds of music and Blended together for sheer enjoyment
he could also make a musical instrument out of anything and make it sound good, his first appearance on tv was on very early steve allen show back when it was black and white and he brought a bicycle with him and turned it into a musical instrument and played it: ua-cam.com/video/S5-RUCrWAqk/v-deo.html , he was a classicaly trained musician and wrote several pieces fro symphony and even conducted the orchestra on occasion when they played his pieces
I love how much fun they're having in this performance
@JONATHAN SUTCLIFFE Napoleon Murphy Brock, still wailing on tenor sax, flute, vocals I think..
Brock is q major case of hello 👋 insanely talented. I think sometimes God
Just ⛊ off for us
Makes all the fake racism from today look so foolish.
Zappa was truly a one-of-a-kind.
RIP Bruce Bickford (1947 - 2019). Who he, you may ask. Well, he was the genius behind the Claymation and will be sorely missed.
AHHH, I made a post asking about the claymation work. I used to know Bruce on a daily basis. He lived down the road from me in Renton, Washington. He was unbelievably artistic and not just in clay, but pure art drawing and painting. He actually told me that Frank shorted him on payments for his claymation work.
Zappa was a shit boring asshole
I still suspect that Frank's fingers could actually move like this when no one was looking!
Merci d'avoir une pensée pour BRUCE
@@pgo301that’s surprising because Frank was typically known to honour his contracts - and in some cases actually paid more than asked (an example being him paying the Ikettes $25/hr despite Ike Turner asking frank to only pay $25/session).
Anyone who plays guitar like this should be granted immortality by the Music Gods.
Frank was the most genius creator of avant-garde music par none and not to forget one of the greatest guitar players of all time miss u Frank RIP
Nothing better in a song than hearing Zappa laugh in the middle of singing his own lyrics and have to start again, classic.
Merry Christmas happy birthday 🎊
Frank Zappa was one of those guys you ether loved his music or hated it. No in between. I truly miss him and his music
I must say I am a lover of his amazing tunes
Just think of what a field day he would have with the current crop of politicians.
one thing is for sure.
there are no ex Zappa fans.
you are a Zappa fan for life!
Without zappa no other clowns
Street musicians sound much better than shit ugly, boring clown zappa
man that solo in the end ravages many solos i've heard. pure emotion.
It's hard to imagine the world of 'real contemporary' music existing without Frank. It's like if he wasn't there, there would be this large hole or big gap that would've been very difficult to fill. Only Frank could've accomplished that.
3:16 RIP claymation animator Bruce Bickford
I was just wondering who made this beautiful bit :)

I was introduced to Frank in 1971 when I went to work in Yellowstone. Changed my life.
what a brilliant and cozy concept of having people sitting on the floor. Like you would in kindergarten, while listening to a great story.
Most of Woodstock crowd was... People of culture.
When I 1st heard Frank Zappa , I was blown away !! It changed my life forever !! R.I.P. Frank Zappa ...
I would have loved to have been in the audience for this,It's really great to finally have this on DVD. Frank is clearly having the time of his life,

Frank Zappa come tutti i grandi chitarristi era un po' pigro nel inserire gli assoli di chitarra elettrica nei suoi brani e quando lo faceva lo faceva con un tempo limitato lasciando intravedere il suo grande talento e genio compositivo giocando con lo strumento ed i suoi accordi complessi e difficili da eseguire per questo noi tutti lo rimpiangiamo perchè era un musicista molto esigente e perfezionista nei tempi di inserimento degli strumenti durante le sue canzoni accompagnate spesso da monologhi introduttivi e per il suo modo di fare musica nei concerti è rimasto unico ed ineguagliabile.P.S.

This video is so ahead of its time it's mind-numbing!!! Woah!
What a voice. What a mind. I wish Zappa was here today to take an extra bow.
