Nice to see Dweezil keeping Dad’s musical legacy alive. Tal is, and always has been, a prodigy. With Vinnie killing it on the kit, you’ve got Beck’s rhythm section. Sensational.
Zappa will never get credit for how many ways he was a genius. Dweezil has thankfully preserved his unique guitar style and sound/equipment to the extent anyone could. I'm glad to see younger people getting into it.. Maybe one day Frank will get his due after all.
Strange how this song reminds me so much of that Jazz-fusion band “Weather Report” who had a very original sound. They were quite hypnotic and revolutionary. This song seems to capture their essence nicely. Tal is amazing. So is Frank Zappa’s son.
People tend to lose sight of what a great guitarist Frank was. Son Dweezil seems to have inherited dad's instincts and ability. I understand Tal began as a guitarist back home in Australia, till another guitarist said "You play like a _bass_ player!" :I do? I should check out bass and see what it's like!" She found her axe. Simply one of the best jazz/rock fusion bass players alive. I'll happily listen to anything she plays on.
She is a very special replica of womanhood that has a message for modernity. Remember she is a woman with a women's sensitivity about the force of life and it's successful accomplishment.
She's an amazing bassist and I imagine Vinnie had a blast playing with her, but I *can't* imagine what she's feeling there. Judging by the look on her face, pretty close to pure ecstasy.
Well, she and Vinnie toured together a bunch with Jeff Beck, so they've got a definite feel for one another. She certainly knows how to keep it in the slot when Vinnie goes off the rails. They are definitely both players that can keep company with whoever is on the bandstand.
The diversity of Tal's playing never ceases blowing me away. I watch n listen her play and she is almost the most archetypal perfect very fn cool bassist ever. and she's a s cute as a button! And she can sing. And write. Amazing human being.
@peter g I know but with the Vinnie he can shred his ass off but then turn around and play super tasty stuff that serves the song like he did with Sting or Joni Mitchell. That's a bit more rare.
Is really simple, really. You see, Vinny simply owns time. It bends at his will. Where "the one" is, is irrelevant. Once you understand that time is Vinnie and Vinnie is time, then all things will make sense.
I think at this point she could say, yeah my drummer is Vinnie Colaiuta. Seems like he's not shared the stage with any other musician longer than her actually?
Frank would have loved Tal more than life. And if a Genie ever popped out of a bottle of Macallan 20 and said, "What is thy wish?" I'd say, "I want hair like fucking Tal Wilkenfeld! Damn It!!!!
Tal is also fabulous with the Jeff Beck group. Wow! Check the video out, Live at Ronnie Scotts. Eric Clapton joined Beck onstage at the end where they played guitar together. Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin was in the audience.
@@StevenGrahamHypnotherapist That was one of the best concert videos ever recorded. All four band members were on point throughout. Tal and Vinnie have a sixth sense there. And she challenges Beck as he challenges her. Their interplay is so much fun to watch and hear.
It would be great to hear this lineup preform FZ's "Apostrophe"! The song on the album was recorded with Jack Bruce. Tal could really cut loose on Jack's solos!
Frank Zappa is one of the greatest musicians of the 20th century. Tal and Vinnie are two of my other favorites. So kudos to Dweezil for hiring them to play his Dad's music. My only wish is that this had been recorded on better equipment.
I like the point at 1:36 where Dweezil goes "man, she gone here, she gone", and just laughs to himself, like putting his feet up in an easy chair and waiting for her to land again. Whenever, babe, whenever...
@@johndelatore771 Well, he DID play for Dweezil's dad Frank, so he shouldn't miss a beat. Familiar territory. But I love how Vinnie and Tal play together. They've played together with Jeff Beck, Herbie Hancock and D. Zappa that I know of. They have that musical shorthand that mutual experience brings.
Cameraman did not seem aware she was playing at the beginning after the head...when dweze was obviously not, and at the end video cuts her solo. We never even saw her face ....typical male musician elitism
@@bobolivier3809 hahahahaha! That's hilarious. For your information I couldn't get a wide enough angle on my little phone to capture her. She is Sheila Gonzalez. If you know anything about ZPZ, you'd know she's been with him for years. And the comment of "typical male musician elitism" is hysterical because I am a 56 year old woman. And you? An idiot.
Watch the Jeff Beck live at Ronnie Scott's DVD, it's on RUclips. There is also her with Jeff @ the 2007 Crossroads Festival...about half a dozen tunes, also on RUclips. That is where we first got to see her. She looked 13 but was 21. And she had only been playing bass for about four years, having switched from guitar after her teacher noticed her percussive style and suggested she try 4 strings instead of 6. You might also find a clip of her sitting in with the Allman Bros. Band. There is also her with Vinnie and Herbie Hancock on YT. She also has her own solo thing happening, getting an initial boost opening for the Who.
Jazz composers start out by saying lets see how boring we can possibly make this particular piece of music and then let us allow gifted humans to shine. The boredom ends up overwhelming the gift. My son is a multi instrumentalist jazz producer and performer and will never make a dollar in his "calling". I desperately attempted to teach him carpentry and he has always told me to fuck off. Now he has to live in the bed he made.
If someone posts a music performance, at a MINIMUM, one should identify WHO is playing and WHERE it occurred. - Pretty minimal expectation, yet mb1065 did not. Bad move Tal and Vinnie were identified, and one can assume (should not have to assume) it is Dweezil on guitar. But 1) Who is the sax player, 2) Who if on the keyboards, 3) Where was this played (USA, Australia, Mars?)
So sorry Gregory for not meeting your expectations. I really tried when I posted this 6 years to imagine what would Gregory Parrott want to see on this post. But as you so kindly pointed out I failed miserably. If you don't know who Dweezil is then I can't help you. This was LA. But who cares? Sheila Gonzalez on Sax. She's been with him for years. If you don't know that, then that's your problem. Chris Norton on keyboards. You know him? This video post was not intended for dummies to criticize but for Zappa fans to enjoy. Now go insult someone else as you seem to enjoy doing that.
@@mb1065 You COMPLETELY missed the point. 1) It is a minimal courtesy TO THE BAND MEMBERS to give credit where credit is due. 2) The person posting may INDEED know more about the band than the (potentially) billions of viewers on RUclips. Yes, that includes me. 3) The publishers notes provide an EASY way for the publisher to provide this info, to the benefit of a large majority of viewers who may appreciate just a little info. 4) You 'can't help me'?. Actually, you can and did - Thanks. It's just a matter of personal choice to encourage viewers to appreciate music that may be new to them. While I've not followed Dweezil, my first Zappa album was 'Hot Rats, which I bought back when it was released
@@gregparrott calm down dude. I'm just a fan who went to a show captured some video and posted it. I am not a "professional publisher". my god, what a condescending thread this is! If your expectations of details on a video are so high, maybe you should go to work for RUclips and publish a rule book!
I love Tal's work with Jeff Beck, but this is really excessively busy bass playing on one scale and one chord change if you ask me. Anything Frank or Dweezil plays or played though I can dig.
I grew up on Zappa. Tal my love my beloved the all time greatest chick bass player I ever seen. OMG I wish I was still young, I'd give you a run for your money angel. Aaaahhhh !¡!¡! Getting old sucks. Her hair is captivating her eyes I'd get lost in them gee I wonder if I got a serious crush huh? When I first seen her with Jeff Beck I thought ok what an angel then when I stopped gawking my ears picked up on her chops. My mind blew all to hell. Nothing sexist but chick bass players are kinda lame not tal she slogging it out with the big dogs & holding her own. Hunny if you see this please don't be insulted I mean all respect. I can't help I'm a man a damn good bassist & so want to meet you I'm first a gentleman too. Sugar bear tal you got in my heart ha.

It's amazing to me that everybody who shares a stage with Vinnie doesn't spend the entire time facing him and watching him work.
They don't need to!! Locked in!
Well they have to..when that zone.
Agreed!
It was truly an epic night of performances from multiple guest musicians. Tal rocked it all right!
Vinny used to play for dad many moons ago! Tal made it classic!!
Tal in full blown BEAST MODE ☮️❤️
Those guitar lines Zappa is doing at the beginning of his solo sound like sax lines!
Tal killing it .....Vinnie...man, this is seriously good.
Hendrix got his start copying horn lines. It just seemed like that was how you solo, so why not? Nice ear.

I could watch Tal fold laundry…..
She is a very special replica of womanhood that has a message for modernity. Remember she is a woman with a women's sensitivity about the force of life and it's successful accomplishment.
Colaiuta seemed to enjoy playing Zappa again.
+Hin Bieger Who WOULDN"T enjoy playing FZ's awesome songs? lol
Vinnie produces his wall of sound with cimbals and drums. And Tal digs in with the right bass groove. She can play the Black Page on bass!
I'd bet Frank would've loved having Tal in his band. He would've pushed her hard. And she would've stepped up.
Jeff Beck, Frank Zappa... my two favorite performers. Yes I'm old. $6.50 for the good tickets!
I remember those days. Remember seeing Buddy Holly, Big Bopper & Richie Valens two days before they died and the tickets were about half that.
Perfect ! Tal were joyful...that night

This is THE TOP performance song by the best musicians. This pound truly kicks ass
12-11-15, First mistook the Date for the Time meter of the Song 😂
How Vinnie can shred like that and still hit the one every time is beyond me.
@peter g I've known him since he first hit the states in the 90's. He's amazing but vinnie is one of a kind.
@peter g I know but with the Vinnie he can shred his ass off but then turn around and play super tasty stuff that serves the song like he did with Sting or Joni Mitchell. That's a bit more rare.
Is really simple, really. You see, Vinny simply owns time. It bends at his will. Where "the one" is, is irrelevant. Once you understand that time is Vinnie and Vinnie is time, then all things will make sense.
Tal is a beast bass player. One of the world's best. She should team up with Marco Minneman and Govan
Saw Marco and Guthrie on Steven Wilson’s Raven Tour. Pure magic.
Bloody love this.
Australian girls, Tal and don't forget Oriathi
Had no idea that he had Jeff Beck's band on this tour
I love the Dweezil Jeff & Tal + Vinnie.
Always respected Franks honesty, this true Jazz!!!!
she sure can play that bass. wish she join me on my album
Vinnie and Tal together, amazing, either with Jeff Beck (rip brother), Zappa J or anyone, they will be jammin....
Check out the Herbie Hancock set that Tal and Vinnie did at Montreaux.
I think at this point she could say, yeah my drummer is Vinnie Colaiuta. Seems like he's not shared the stage with any other musician longer than her actually?

Nice that Tal's bass is included in the song.
I would love for them to make new ,fresh music ... I would buy it

Everything about Tal is truly amazing including her talent !🤘🎸🤠
😵💫😵💫🌋🌋🌋🔥🔥🔥
still love it!!
Would love to have been at this gig to see Vinnie and Tal in action. When Dweezil played the Royal Festival Hall we had to make do with Martin Clunes.
