    Frank Zappa’s jam with Pink Floyd
    "That was after the Mothers [of Invention] had broken up, and y'know, I had time on my hands," Zappa said several years later. "These people contacted me. They offered me $10,000 to be an emcee at a festival, all expenses paid, and go over there, and, y'know, whatever I wanted to do, and I said, 'Fine.' So, I get there, and they neglected to tell me that nobody spoke English."
    They did, however, speak the international language of music (sorry, that was corny)-so Zappa made a point of jamming with several acts on the bill, including Aynsley Dunbar and Pink Floyd. Oddly enough, even though the video below shows Zappa on stage with Roger Waters, David Gilmour and the rest of Pink Floyd, Zappa had no recollection of the jam session. It must've been one hell of a music fest.

That does not mean they don't use drugs as well, to be creative sometimes. It's like if you like to drink a glass of wine or two, or smoke a joint on a party, to be a bit more relaxed and feel good, but not on work. Or if you destroy your life by drinking every day and be drunk or stoned at 10:00am. Like a Jimi Hendrix, a Janis Joplin a Eddie van Halen or many others.

      Knowing Zappa’s musical proclivities as well as I do, I am certain that he found himself horrified to be jamming on a one chord song with a bunch of pretentious British art school wankers with a very limited bassist and drummer (and I love pre DSOTM Pink Floyd). This is a type of music that Zappa would have mercilessly lambasted in a composition. Zappa enjoyed complex, structured songs with strange time signatures and jazz chord voicing, backed by virtuosic sidemen. Frank Zappa was a legendarily proficient polymath on guitar, and the lame, half-hearted fretting that he shows with this performance betrays his state of mind.

    The problem here was Zappa’s jamming genius is best played within certain musical note relationships and melodic riffing, while Pink Floyd’s early psychedelic trip jamming was a lot of acid inspired impressionistic noise art. Zappa probably didn’t trip so he was limited with what he could do to relate although he still does fine it’s interesting to see him out of his element a little.

      Ween Fain - I get what you're saying, as I've seen Frank left off lists he certainly should've been on, or higher on the list. My opinion of Zappa is that not only was he a guitar wizard, he was also a certifiable "musical genius". Most people who "think" they know music will list Hendrix (of course), Clapton, Jeff Beck (if they're smart) then list guitarists like Slash, Angus Young, Joe Perry, etc. because of name recognition. Of course Slash, Angus, Perry, etc, are great guitarists, but most people who AREN'T guitarists or in the industry don't automatically think of people like Zappa, Knopfler, Gary Moore, Frampton, Gilmour, Buckingham, etc. (just to name a few) when thinking of "Greatest Guitarists", when indeed they are. For instance, Bowie thought enough of Frampton to have him as the guitarist for his "Glass Spider" tour, which says a lot, not to mention his work with Humble Pie and his solo stuff. Just ignorant people, that's all. And yeah, Pink Floyd was waaaay high at that gig. LOL!

      I gotta agree! A great time to be alive. Just think, it seems we have to go go through rights of passage,. I’m just glad we went through this one back then, because it would never have worked now.... without the acid.

    I'm stunned that it is fact that these guys even got together - let alone them jamming it out on stage. Two wholly different (yet in more than one way simultaneous) worlds converging.

      Nope. 100% psychedelic on both sides.

    August 2018 driving across the USA on I-40 and picked up a hitch hiker at the Oklahoma/Arkansas border and the dude hops up into my cab as my Pandora starts playing Frank Zappa. My new friend Jerry was blown away. "I haven't heard Frank Zappa in 30 years", I felt like he'd probably been having a jones for Zappa, so, I turned up the radio for him. I told him, "Hey man, its your lucky day!" He was pretty stoked.

    Frank Zappa looks like an eagle from outer space. He clearly had a vision there. That sharp look. And Roger and the drummer. 😂 Sweat on their face, so spaced out. 😂 Different times back then. Sounds like a masterpiece lost in time. Wish they could bring it back.
