If you do, use the album version. The live video includes lots of weird clay-animation, which is too distracting for a first-time listen to a complex composition.
Keep the Frank coming Jone! Love your honest and refreshing takes on one of my all-time favorite musicians. It's like traveling back in time and watching my friends getting into Frank.
Of Franks 60+ Albums, this one is in the top 10. This entire album is full of surprises, especially the song that precedes this one. Most of his albums have 1 or 2 instrumental only tunes. Try Zoot Allures for a more serious tune. It is amazing how accurate you are on Franks aura. He always infused humor into his music, and lots of change ups. Every tune he composed has lots of twist and turns. But his serious side is just as good. He has many, many instrumentals to explore.
Yes, you will have to listen to Zappa tunes until the musicality sets in. Once you know what changes to expect, they make a lot more sense. This is complex music, as complex as much classical music is. Good reaction, even if you got a little caught off guard.
Really enjoyed this reaction. You can tell it's an honest first listen by the way you're sortof stunned and not even sure where to begin. That's how I felt the first time I heard this and many other Zappa works, too, but as with all of his music: the more you listen, the more you hear.
Wonderful song from wonderful album. I have listened to this album for over 40 years 😀. I love it! Background vocals are from Tina Turner and Ikettes, I believe, but Ike did not want to have their name on the record ( "What is this shit?"). Great stuff. Thank you for doing this.
This totally cracks me up. I watched your first reaction to "Watermelon in Easter Hay" and your response was "that wasn't what I was expecting. I was expecting Jazz, or Blues..." So then you listen to Montana without any prior knowledge. My thoughts were "He has no idea what he is getting into. This should be interesting." It seemed like your initial response was shock, and you thinking WTF at the same time unable to deny the awesome music and musicianship. Your facial expressions were priceless. Watching an initial reaction to the phenomenon that is Frank Zappa. Now maybe you see why so many talk about him? So that Jazz and Blues you were initially expecting? Yes, that and almost every other genre of music is covered by Frank at some point. BTW, percussionist on Marimba is Ruth Underwood, one of the world's best on that instrument. Frank also consistently had the very best drummers. If you like Jazz listen to the Grand Wazoo and Waka Jawaka albums. Master pieces IMO. And you should listen to the entire Overnight Sensation album. There is a lot there including electric violin solo by Jean Luc Ponty on Fifty Fifty. And George Duke on the keyboards! Final point, initial reactions can include information overload. You may not have noticed, but the song was about dental floss, and riding a tiny horse along the borders of Montana with a pair of heavy duty zircon encrusted tweezers in my hand, and the tweezers gleaming in the moon light. It may take many listens to absorb everything. These is a richness there that is unique with Frank. It's not for everybody, but I love it. YMMV
It may be a lot to take in. On the other hand also after many listenings you will find more details. Lyrics are often just silly or provocative but not always. Try a few instrumentals! One thing less to keep track of. Like the quite early "Peaches en regalia". There are several versions and arrangements. Also several covers.
The lyrics are a series of surreal jokes which must be hard to decipher for someone with English as a second language. Good on you for sticking with it
Yes. Lots of slang, 70s American pop culture references, inside jokes and something called Conceptual Continuity. It appears regularly throughout the arc of his career. Fun stuff! Enjoy!!
Forget the composition. That middle solo, the tone and attack, the unpredictable phrasing that is melodic at the same time ... please link me to something in classical music that is that good, there must lots of it.
Still mono on the music... Does not do justice to Frank Zappa's production and sound quality...Checking in and you still haven't fixed your audio production...
Even real musicians need a few times hearing Frank to really digest his music. I love his 70s stuff best, but the album you should really start with has to be Hot Rats. I think you're going to like it.

Zappa asked, "Does Humor Belong in Music", and the answer is yes.
he actually said "I think it belongs in every day life:"

@@iainmackie6421 correct.
Zappa was utter madman (musically) and over-the-top genius at the same time. Gotta love this man madly...
FZ is a lyrical and guitar genius
So nice to hear more of your reactions to this music, thank you
My top song , i hit every single note , every day . Frank , in me you live forever . ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Inca roads should be your next zappa.
If you do, use the album version. The live video includes lots of weird clay-animation, which is too distracting for a first-time listen to a complex composition.
@@jamespuleo3269 - Exactly, studio version first without the claymation, for exactly the reason that you state.

Kiss my aura Dora!
I first came across Frank in the late 60s as an 11/12 year old and its been an interesting ride ❤

Magnifique ! Et quel solo de guitare de Frank Zappa !

Ironic Frank Zappa ,we miss him so...im 67 and love and grow up whit these...😅❤
Welcome aboard sir your journey has started , please relax and enjoy the ride

Tina dragged Ike into the studio so he would hear what they'd done.
He heard it and said:"What is this shit?" and walked away.
What a jerk....

Zappa was a crazy genius composer, and an exceptional guitarist. Thanks.
This album should be listened to from start to finish, same applies to the album "Apostrophe"
And Joe's Garage Acts 1,2 and 3
To more fully appreciate the conceptual continuity. 😊
Another classic must listen , Cosmic Debris .
Frank made 62 albums. Plus, scored and arrangements pieces to many to count. Genius

Just tuned in 😂

It's also just an urban wannabe cowboy who doesn't really know anything about the prairie.

You really don’t have to say anything. We all know. Every time we hear it it’s better.
Those back up singers include Tina Turner and the "Ikettes"!
i`d like to suggest "muffin man" from bongo fury-album
i would like to hear your view on Yellow snow suit
It's classical music, only Zappa
You aint heard nothin' yet! haha! He breaks all the norms wit top notch music.
There is much more!
MONTANA Live is dope.
Ha, just the look on ur face.😂
This is the first album I bought with my own money.
"I wrote a song about dental floss but did anyone's teeth get cleaner?" Frank Zappa
My favorite think about Zappa asked him if he cares?
Tina Turner and The Ikettes did the backup vocals.
Check out muffin man , live
Check out dirty love by Frank zappa please ? 1:52
Guitar was on point right? Check out Muffin man.

Im doing my best.
@@JoneRuiz Figure it out
@@DWHarper62 Actually, i did reacted in stereo but it comes out on mono in the video.
@@JoneRuiz You could be putting your audio in mono on the video rendering...or perhaps mixing down to mono for the recording on the video...
Ich weiß nichts über Dich aber Deine Fingernägel an Deiner rechten Hand sind wie meine .
