Bobby Martin tells a story about not having to audition after being in Zappa's band. Zappa was so well respected amongst other musicians whether they liked his music or not. They knew how much rehearsal time he put in to prepare for tours.
Jimi Hendrix. Jimmy Page. Eric Clapton. Yeah, they’re guitar gods, but no one mentions what a masterful genius Frank Zappa was. I’ve read that he made absolutely sure that every member of his band had skill out the wazoo.
Good Lord that is just magic. Thanks for posting this....... This truly made my Monday. Although this level of musical talent does make me wanna throw my drums in the friiggin trash can. Damn professionals.
Frank Zappa: Guitar, Vocals; Ray White: Guitar, Vocals; Ike Willis: Guitar, Vocals, Duck Call and other effects and general lunacy; Bobby Martin: Vocals, Keyboards, French Horn, Sax; Alan Zavod: Keyboards; Scott Thunes: Bass; Chad Wackerman: Drums
From the expression that FZ wears on his face...that look of bemused resignation...just like a music teacher at a high school or a community college...he was Svengali for several generations...and this was his "day job". I believe he would have died a lot happier if he could have been certain that he would be taken seriously as a composer....I don't think he ever wanted to be a rock god...he wanted to be Stravinsky...
1984 'DANCING FOOL' CON FRANK ZAPPA: Empezó de colegial con batería y percusión, así que si tenía ritmo, pero decía que no bailaba por que no sabía hacerlo bien por no tener práctica. Pero su esposa Gail medio lo desmintió y contó que si bien no tenía práctica, las veces que bailaron por cualquier motivo, Frank tenía buen ritmo en los pies y cintura. Claro que parodiaba a algunos y eso incluía a sí mismo... Y después de Dancin' Fool nada menos que las antípodas de la disco music.. Vino a continuación el cierre de este concierto filmado con el cover de un himno del Blues Rock sureño de Estados Unidos, nada menos que WHIPPIN' POST de la ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND... Bobby Martin se lució en el canto y Frank con su guitarra eléctrica. Era una canción de los Allman que realmente le gustaba tocar como cover
what's with the title? Humor? Question is does genius belong in art? but that is also a very redundant query ....😊❤️ thanks for the upload! (sorry, i can be a dick sometimes, (edited) a lot of the time ☺️🤙)
Frank was an awesome musical genius, but they really butchered The Whipping Post here. It's too polished sounding. The Allman Bros had a real raw quality to their music, and that's what made them so great.
Frank wanted this band to sound like a parody of everything else that was around at the time, hence the ultra-polished sound with those silly synths and electronic drums. Find an 81/82 version of Whipping Post and it's wholly different affair.
Bobby Martin: what a voice!!!
WHAT A MARVELLOUS MUSIC! WHAT A GENIUS FRANK ZAPPA! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
That keyboardist is fucking awesome, he has a great voice. Zappa always sorrounded himself with really talented musicians.
He wrote very complicated music.

I didn't get Zappa when I was young but at least I'm beginning to get him now.
Same here Stefan; I just didn't get it..... PERIOD!!! I KNEW HE WS RET BUT IDONT' KONW O
That's an understatement
Jimi Hendrix. Jimmy Page. Eric Clapton. Yeah, they’re guitar gods, but no one mentions what a masterful genius Frank Zappa was. I’ve read that he made absolutely sure that every member of his band had skill out the wazoo.
I agree
Really? No one?
No one? C'mon on, people have been adulting Frank's originality and massive musical brain forever.
I want music like this all the time, everywhere. Zappa is just genius.
🎤🎸😉👌👍
humor belongs everywhere
Amazing Scott Thunes...
One of the best bass players ever, shows just how much you can do with a pick!
Thats a crazy tempo for dancing fool!
Magnificent
Wow these guys are soo talented!!! Amazing performance!!!
imo was not only the best concert but was the best musical comp zappa ever had. i'm lucky still having my vhs with the full concert :D
He evolved Dancing Fool into a speed version, which I like it

Awesome. Whipping Post's is certainly the best Zappa's solo I've heard to the date. Bobby's performance is not short of awesomeness as well.
It's my first time that I see Frank Zappa singing. I imagine his songs are really funny as Dancing Fool
They are all funny in the sense that if you pay attention to the lyrics, the joke's on you.
it's all about the whippin' post! RIP Frank.
Who is that bass player.he is so in it.
scott thunes
that was amazing.
Puros genios!!
BEST THERE EVER BEEN
FRANK ZAPPA ERA UN GENIO.
Siempre!
Magic
Legend the best
Ecstatic.
Yeah… I knew you’d be surprised.
Most underrated composer and rock of the 20th century. No one mentioned him. No one gave props until the very end of his life.
None of that is true.
I've completely banned FM radio for cutting out all the cus words from our songs! Long live Frank Zappa! Thank you for your'e freedom of speech!
UN GRAND !
You should check out live at the Roxy. Probably the tightest FZ band he put together.
I agree.
Frank Zappa: Guitar, Vocals;
Ray White: Guitar, Vocals;

Bobby Martin: Vocals, Keyboards, French Horn, Sax;

indeed
HUMOR??
Depends on the music.
Zappa = Music ..... no depend's needed !

So he achieved it... I find him better then Stravinsky. And I love Stravinsky ;-)
Well, he was indeed!
yip yip:)))))))) exactly:)
Lol...hey

この時ドラムを敲いているチャド ワッカーマンは何と年齢が十代だった!
ザッパはドラマーに凄く煩い人で注文も多かった!
天才です!
チャド・ワッカーマンは1960年3月25日生まれなので、当時は24歳です。
ザッパ・バンドに初めて参加したときでも、既に20代でした。
@@prankette do tell?
Chad is fantastic, and still at it, he's a great great player. Touring with The Furious Bongos this sept.
@LukeRossTheBoss I know!! this whole video rules... a must see if you havn't
Wait a minute.. is this the best band you ever heard in your life ?
in my opinion, all zappa bands are the best! thank you friend.
,I never heard the best band ,, I've never heard , so I heard
Frank is not dead, just smells funny.
Humoer Humor belongs to it.
this one goes to 21
Servono 2 Handrix 4 Clapton,con l'aggiunta di McLoglin.
Ci metterei anche 2 Prince, 1 Dwizeel, e Vai. Grande
Scott should have played his P bass on this one. There was never going to be a Zappa song where a J bass sounds better than a P bass.
ザッパ程リズムと音色に優れた人は居ないでしょう!
又彼が音楽を始めたきっかけは、頭の中にある音楽を楽譜に書き留め音楽に変わる面白さだったとか？
作曲家の常で、サウンドは全て彼の頭の中に有って、アド・リブはバンドのメンバーには許されなかった！強いて言えばロック界のギル、エバンスみたいな人物であった!

0:08 I laughed really hard. And not only because you can hear the chord turning into an open stroke.
4+25+2023
I don't know if i would say it does or doesn't "belong" in music

Why would a person ask whether it "belongs" in music 4+25+2023
