I saw this tour at the Knebworth festival, UK 1978... Amazing... Also on the bill with Frank that day were the Tubes, Todd Rundgren, Peter Gabriel, Dave Edmunds & Nick Lowe, Boomtown Rats & Wilko Johnson... Now that, was one hell of a day !!!
imagine only knowing frank as "that weird guy that does crazy music" then going to this show and seeing him do this great guitar stuff.. i was hooked right away

I used to attend FZ's music at the Capital Theater in Passaic New Jersey. Zappa's music was all over N.J. back in the 1970's. From 1971 until about 1983 FZ played the Capital. The world has changed since then and it is rare to find a concert today that isn't planned and controlled by censors and time limitations ! I am pretty sure I was at this one.
Poy Ester whats funny to me was at 14 i first saw Zappa at the Capitol in 74 but the one in Port Chester Ny.Pretty much every fairly large city had a Capitol Theatre.
the opening sequence is so extremely complicated I cannot belive that they could play it so well. The note sequence on vibes is pure genius. Never mind FZ with sublime guitar work. Oh. Wonderful
Deathless Horsie is one of my favourites but If you can play in timings other than 4/4 it's not super difficult or complicated. It's actually a fun kinda "circular" melody, once you've learned it it just loops around naturally when you play it. If you get lost soloing to it you can just count the vibraphone like a metronome as they play straight quarter notes the whole way through, either count to five twice or just to ten until the melody loops.
Was at this show and over 50 others.... It's one thing to listen to the unparalleled production of the albums but live? That's what Frank was all about!
I was at this gig somebody drove me to NJ from NYC..Video was provided by the promoter.closed cicuit in(- house only) During the Halloween run 2 weeks later he told me he got a bill for 800$ for the in house only video.I am glad it survived.alot less audience yelling noisily like the shows in NYC...
This is just about the best zappa show I've seen on video. I love the ending with the guy who needs to hear Dinah-Moe and the other guy in the Rolling Stones shirt lol.
Yeah an amazing musician all around. I think he met Frank at his college or something. He talked in an interview I found here on UA-cam about it and about how he was sort of an outcast in school. Too bad he ended up with a coke habit, too. TC
Not O’Hearn’s first gig with Zappa, he was in the band from ’76. Arthur Barrow was the bass player for the first part of the ’78 tour and Patrick rejoined the band on this show.
@@ManicMovesDrowsyDreams You'd have to ask Mr. O'Hearn about that. I can only guess that Zappa had 2 bass players in his band for sonic effect, like with the 2 drummers in the late 60's Mothers and the Roxy Mothers.
@@DodoDiaz Alright thanks. I'll let you know if I ever find out. Probably something like that it's just if they're playing the same thing (they quite possibly weren't) and one was just slightly off it'd sound quite interesting. Take care!
@@ManicMovesDrowsyDreams I think the idea was Zappa brought O'Hearn back to mainly provide backing for Zappa during his solos and instead of switching out bass players during songs over and over, he just decided to have both bassists at the same time. I guess he thought Barrow wasn't giving him the adequate support in that department. That was what I read anyway.
I saw FZ in a hockey rink in Danvers, MA 12 days after this concert. Being at a concert in a hockey rink with no seating sucked by comparison to the previous two tears when I saw FZ in a proper theater in Boston. Musically, always impressive, but the venue takes something out of the whole experience.
1978 10 25 - North Shore Coliseum, Danvers, MA 115 min, Aud, B/B- Two SBD segments were broadcast by FZ, see Unreleased, radio, and weird stuff: 1978 10 26 - WBCN Interview. Persona Non Grata, Dancin' Fool, Easy Meat, Honey Don't You Want A Man Like Me?, Keep It Greasey, The Meek Shall Inherit Nothing, City Of Tiny Lights, A Pound For A Brown, Bobby Brown, Conehead , Little House I Used To Live In, Magic Fingers, Yellow Snow Suite, Dinah-Moe Humm, Camarillo Brillo, Muffin Man, Peaches En Regalia
This is not Patrick O'Hearn's debut with the band Patrick goes as far back as Zoot Allure in 1976 , Patrick is on the albums Zoot Allure , Zappa in New York , Studio Tan , Sleep Dirt , Sheik Yerbouti ,Baby Snakes & Orchestral Favorites
Patrick O'Hearn wasn't on the Zoot Allures album. The only person other than FZ on the album as pictured on the album jacket was Bozzio. The cover features FZ, Bozzio, O'Hearn and Eddie Jobson. They were in the band at the time of the photo shoot. Roy Estrada played bass on Zoot Allures.
And the craziest thing is: there are two bass players but we don't hear them clashing in any way. Frank always knew what to do. Two bass players and Vinnie. What a rhythm section!
@@implumkrazy ~ Yea, l grew up a Christian but wasnt much of one in the Frank years but even THEN ....l couldn't listen to ''dumb all over''! Good VAMP! Really good! but those Pagan words AT the time ...made think about that verse ''They knew God, yet they Glorified HIM not. Otherwise, the musicianship is _STUPENDOUS!_ (Wakeman's word). MAY The Lord Bless You Roy! :)
keep singing while I grab my guitar, Damn FZ trust surely the greatest ever recorded version of suicide chump known to man is sitting in present official quality form? Tinseltown rebellion Would have been a monster with that, jumbo go away, ms X and rubber girl.
ZAPPA either you "get " his music or you don't. For me his music was/is still the very best composed and was played by the very best musicians. I was lucky enough to go see every tour that came thru Dallas Texas from 1976 until his last tour that rolled thru in 1986? maybe it was 85? either way I got to see a bunch of different versions of his backing band and each and everyone was awesome. I think that Ike Willis was in all of them but the 76 band. Anyway you will not find anything like this being played anywhere and that is a sad, sad thing.
Zappa ended the concert because the guy in the Rolling Stones T-Shirt wasn't participating in the audience participation part of the program. Zappa said he would stop the show, and he did. I wonder if other Zappa fans who clamored for more maybe kick that guys ass when they got outside. Hey, it's Jersey!
Zappa is awesome!! I turned 13 on this Friday the 13th in October 1978. On October 13th 1972 I turned 7 on that Friday the 13th. That same day is when the soccer team in flight 571 crashed in the Andes Mountains. 45 passengers and 16 surviving for 60+ days. A triumphant ending to a tragic mishap. Being a Libra is about balance I guess...
Hahaha what the fuck is up with that Bob Dylan impression in Flakes. Zappa and crew are wild. Recently learned that it was the almighty Adrian Belew who came up with the joke! He's the man! Great fuckin' show. The Rolling Stones guy lol dude probably never heard the end from friends or was able to live it down
+Darrylizer1 It's pretty good compared to a TON of other bootlegs I've seen and heard. It was definitely professionally shot and recorded and this is the broadcast version. I wonder if the original copy of this gig exists somewhere. It could be remastered and released.
Tino Rozzo The politically incorrect fuckwit was John Scher running Monarch Entertainment with his cow wife named Mary Monarch. Yeah sure, Just because they could book axts like Zappa, The Who and The Dead into the Capitol Theater They thought they were big time. Yea saw Genisis there as well. Said fuckwit and cow just got too cocky and karma too them down. Isn't that what you told me Mary? Karma comes around?

Masterpiece after masterpiece. The older I get, the more I like his art.

What a guy! I totally love Frank. A great gig, with Vinnie on drums. The Rolling Stones T-shirt guy incident was pure class. Absolutely amazing!
Mandatory audience participation! Love it!
That marimba solo on pound for a brown is amazing

What a killer intro to City of tiny lights. There is only one Vininie! Priceless
grosse show mit altersgarantie, wauuu supper. merci #antifrostunterwegs freuts
Great performance.
Great video & great sound quality. Also love that it opens with one of my all time favourite Zappa solos. Many thanks.
WARNING: watching and listening to this even once will totally ruin your ability to enjoy modern popular "music" ever again. Ok, ready...GO!
+1 underrated
hehehe SUCH JOY !
So true.
But the ability to enjoy popular "music" today, is no ability at all. If it takes no ability to play it, what ability does it take to enjoy it? :(
Music is still good y’all. Gotta search it out is all
the late show set is also available here on youtube, the title is identical, but don't be fooled folks, there's two of them !! :):)
came back here just to say thank you! enjoy
Thanks, I wouldn't have noticed
wow,this that's me back to my youth
Wow! Ike Wiilis - guitar, vocals (floppy hat) is only 22 (11months) here. I turned 13 exactly that day, it was my BD.
Yeah an amazing musician all around. I think he met Frank at his college or something. He talked in an interview I found here on UA-cam about it and about how he was sort of an outcast in school. Too bad he ended up with a coke habit, too. TC
Thank You Capital Theatre, this stuff is priceless. Makes you realize; enjoy it while you can. FZrip
Patrick O'Hearn's debut with Zappa may well have been two years earlier nearly to the day (Oct. 12, '76) on that US/Canada tour of '76
You're right. It was definitely late 1976 when they first met.
Simplemente...EXTRAORDINARIO!!! Gracias por compartirlo.Saludos desde Argentina.
Frank was just a treat.
The Man...the Best guitarist ever...
Seen F.Z. 76 , 77 & 81 at the Palladium in the village in N.Y.C. , never a dull moment & great music by a misunderstood genius!
fantastic to watch this....
Great guitar solo on "Easy Meat."
'Keep it greasy so it'll go down easy' - the words of a poet
Absolute treasure of a video but JFC the amount of ads im getting is overkill. In the middle of songs aswell. Seriously annoying.
Extraordinary!
No coment. Naj naj glasbeniki
Not O’Hearn’s first gig with Zappa, he was in the band from ’76. Arthur Barrow was the bass player for the first part of the ’78 tour and Patrick rejoined the band on this show.
Do you know what the reason was for Patrick's rejoining? Seems odd unless he was ultimately there to help AB learn.

There was a Zappa tribute act in Sydney years ago called Petulant Frenzy
Frank knew his material and his players were so good he didn't even have to be there.
Zappa Ljubljana 1975
51:36 starts Ed's solo. Great groove between he, the bass and drums.
Is it any wonder why I saw him in concert 8 times between 1978 and 1989?
AWESOME SHOW !
Great Zappa

+Gary Cole I noticed that too. But why is Arthur Barrow playing with Patrick? Two bassists is a pretty extreme arrangement, even for rock music.
+BrainPolice5 1978 was the last Patrick O'Hearn would tour with Zappa
+BrainPolice5 maybe Patrick was teaching Arthur Barrow certain parts or cues for performance

I'm pretty sure after almost two hours onstage Zappa planned it that way so he could end the show in his usual unorthodox way. Hey, it's Frank Zappa!
Certainly a man of his word
Lol...and it figures the guy is in a RS shirt. Although as an aside, Zappa liked a lot of their stuff.
Thanks for posting but this was not Patrick O'Hearn's first gig with Zappa. I saw Patrick play with Zappa at the Palladium in 1977.
And he was on the Philly 1976 live album which was even earlier.
Looks like he was playing a sg man wish I was there
This was NOT Patrick O'hearn's debut gig. He had already performed live with him before, Baby Snakes being filmed Halloween of 77 being an example.
