I was fortunate to see him on Broadway the Hard way tour in Birmingham UK. He played Bolero as straight classical piece. He was a composer first and foremost too.
@@DecMc I saw that tour 3 nights in a row in NYC (at the Beacon Theater on Bwy). That band and the musical gymnastics they pulled off was simply jaw dropping.
Greatest American composer in History. It's not even Close. It is heartbreaking to see mainstream focus on; Don't Eat Yellow Snow Montana And this Paradigm (I believe) was at the core of Frank's Anger. Eddie V. Talked about Frank playing the guitar, to him, (Eddie) Frank "sounded like a typewriter." Ah, Eddie, bless your heart, you were talented, and a Moron.
Prefer the version I'm used to, but this is excellent too! Frank employed soo many sublimely skilled musicians that every live show created a unique experience. And Frank never played the same solo twice, so it was genuinely unique. He knew it, and that is why he recorded every concert, to use and overlay into his albums. That's why various segments appear on different tracks. So ahead of his time. Who else did this? And had a vault of priceless musical memories to delve into? I miss Frank more than my own 'Mother'. x
I came for the Frank solo and stayed for Vinnie, Arthur and Tommy. My day isn’t complete if I haven’t listened to this at least once. Brilliant, mesmerizing.
Brilliant , our man Vinnie displays why he is first call from what Tom Reyes the SUSH tells me Vinnie is one of the nicest cats walking the planet. His drumming with Visible sound all improvisational would rip Donald's wig off. Wwzd and say about the Donald ? THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE ❤
This is an amazing performance and sounds right now so much better than my normal listening to version…I need to upgrade! also The Deathless Horsie from this show is my favorite…it’s got a relaxed tempo that makes it sound so epic and Frank goes nuts on the returning theme. Truly astonishing stuff.
Plain beauty! Spiritual, intelligent, strong, virtuosic,........ How strange there are only 13 ´likes´ (just wondering why in earth this doesn't touch more ;-).
I was always glad that Frank gave his drummers carte blanche to show off a little. Here, we can listen to Vinnie C. ripping it up, from his perch on the drum stool..
Coming into contact with Frank's music (and determining the portion of it that I can penetrate and connect with) was a great happening for me. There is noone as close to an original as him around these days.
I had this on one of the first bootlegs I ever bought, I didn't even realize it was a bootleg at the time it was so well produced. This was just the "Outside Now" solos and took up one whole side and the sound was fantastic! "Dancin' Fool" was on the other side The bootleg was called "Lectures".
When I googled Frank Zappa IQ it gives me, "In contrast, consider Einstein was 160, Katy Perry is 107, Da Vinci was 220, John F. Kennedy was 119, George Washington was 118, Rush Limbaugh is 137, Oprah Winfrey is 150, Bill Gates is 160, Madonna is 140, Frank Zappa is 172, Britney Spears is 92 and Obama is 130."
one of many favs... this was the time to see them perform joes garage stuff, it was still fresh and the energy level is through the roof man, this stuff is like vitamins for your ears
I don’t see in the comments anywhere that this solo is the actual solo on outside now Joe’s garage studio version released the same year. Just one of the many facets of FZ‘s genius was to extract solos from the live multitrack recording, and fly them in to, new rhythm sections created after the fact. That’s right, you heard, right…It’s Xenochrony, ladies and gentlemen.
Yeah. I think it’s not just a matter of lifting from a multi track but that Frank's solos on this tour (and others maybe) were recorded on their own dedicated tape as well and then processed. Hence the “Ampex”. This is why the live tracks on Shut Up sound “more” than just live. I think I got that right…I could be wrong
This is the solo section of City of Tiny Lights as it was performed for seversl weekson this tour. This riff became Outside Now at the Joe's Garage recording sessions. I don't mind some official releases of full shows from this tour.
1979.......No one, No one was doing anything like this. Does anyone know the band line up at this time? Sy Borg, Outside Now. Bring tears to my eyes. Thanks Folks
You're right, no one was doing it like zappa did it- but- as he would have agreed- there were musicians out there pushing boundaries just as hard as he was. Frank was just a real nice thread in a pretty beautiful musical tapestry that was the late 70s. sorry if that seems confrontational as I agree with you, i just think franks music is that much special *because* he rose above a tidalwave of new and incredible jazz and rock that was hitting the scenes in the 60s and 70s
All of the great experiments of guitar have been done. This is it, along with the others. Beck, Holdsworth, Hendrix, McLaughlin and so on. Nowadays it's all so shallow and contrived. I don't care how fast they are or who they have endorsements with.
Have you listened to Inca Roads? There are several versions out there, I believe it appeared first on the 1975 album "One Size Fits All." It’s the first track. I think it has the best Sci-Fi Fx. The Album Halloween Chicago 1973 has a good intro. RIP FRANK ZAPPA. We hardly knew you. 😢
Very interesting - that the later - Joe's Garage bits - are slowed down from this/e original, as if he got to the meat of the message too soon and felt he had to lean back and chill a bit,,, Beautiful here - but kind of up tight, maybe?
@@andrewcassese3283 I think it's either "Persona Non Grata" or "Easy Meat". "Packard Goose" is from "Easy Meat" and it's taken from the same tour, maybe even the same show.
UPDATE: Both the early and late show solos were used in both "Keep It Greasy" and "Outside Now", as well as the Hallenstadion version in Zürich the next day (1-4-1979). As for "Packard Goose", it consists of bits from the "Persona Non Grata" solo from the Rhein-Main-Halle late show in Wiesbaden on 27-3-1979, and bits from the "Easy Meat" solo from the Hallenstadion show. Still don't know about "He Used To Cut The Grass". Might be from the 23-3-1979 show in Graz, Austria. Without hearing it, who knows?
Nach der Show habe ich mein Auto nicht mehr gefunden. Es wurde abgeschleppt. Ich schwöre, die Spießer haben die Parkverbotsschilder erst nach Beginn des Konzertes aufgestellt. Alleine die Auslöse machte 100.- Deutsche Mark.
1978 UCLA New Years Eve Pauley Pavillion. Frank Zappa, Adrian Belew (played alot of WICKED killer slide guitar), a really YOUNG phenominal Steve Vai, the dynamic duo of Ike Willis and Ray White Stage Left and Stage Right with White Muscle T shirts on and White Stratocasters (BAD TO THE BONE) and the incredible ANIMAL Terry Bozzio on drums to name a few on stage that night. Terry Bozio played in a Jungle Jim like sling over his drums that allowed him to jump up 10' up and play his drums/Toms BEHIND HIM. He was completely surrounded in 3 levels of drums. He looked like a Spider inside a MASSIVE WEB OF DRUMS. INSANE. and then SOME MORE INSANE drumming. Listen to the Frank Zappa Chicago, Illinois 1978 stuff by comparrisson. Yeah, Stuff that in your pipe and smoke it. Zappa fuckers. LA was and IS Zappa's Back yard. And he never failed to deliver the XTRA special show's (and GUESTS) when he played in Los Angeles. I was a witness to the genius of Frank Zappa LIVE and Company many times.
Okay... First off, Ray and Ike Willis weren't with FZ in 1977 (the new years show you're talking about 12/31/1977). That was the same tour Baby Snakes was recorded which were at the Palladium from 10/28-10/31, 1977. Steve Vai didn't join until fall of 1980. Adrian never played with Ray White because Adrian replaced Ray, after he left in February 1977, And Ray didn't rejoin until Spring/Summer of 1980. Ike didn't join until Fall of 1978. And Terry never played with Ike or Stevie with FZ. He left with Adrian Belew and Patrick O'Hearn in Spring of 1978. Second, Adrian didn't play slide for FZ, Denny Walley would bring slide back into FZ band when he rejoined in Fall 1978 as well. And third, Terry's drumset your talking about is completely wrong. He was using the same drumset he used on Baby Snakes through that whole tour. And the jungle gym? Yeah FZ never used wild stuff like that in his shows. Never. He didn't have acrobatics and contraptions like a Motley Crue show. You've either mistakenly putting together three completely separate shows on completely separate tours with completely separate lineups and embellished the theatrics to make it seems more like a show than it was. Or you're completely bullshitting and never saw Zappa and you're grossly exaggerating your experience of a show You never saw. Either way, like Frank said "Drugs aren't good for you". Maybe take a little less out of your pipe or lay off your smoking.
@@ColtreignThank you for saving me from wasting my time reaming this imbicile out and tearing apart his ridiculous and factually retarded fantasy of a concert-going account.
THE TUBE NEVER ENDS ... (LOL) .. FZ knows how to squeeze even more out of the tube even it seems to be already squeezed to death , physically! keep squeezing those tubes dear Frank - til the end of time!

Well Tom Reyes is 100% correct…..got to talk to Vinny5/6 times in the late 80’s in and around the Valley. He was very cool and patient , down to earth
Amazing version of "Outside Now." It's almost unrecognizable in how much it's extracted and abstracted here. Wow.

How much genius can one man contain? No one can know for sure but Frank Zappa may have come closest to answering that question

Sounds like Peter Wolf
Very good i stand corrected. Sure is similar to mars
Exquisite...from start to finish.

Pure fine arts from The Master!!!
That guitar solo!
This blows my mind
Arte en estado puro, una maravilla que nuestro amigo Frank nos dejó para nuestro deleite.
Gracias por tu buena musica.
The first solo is Peter Wolf, right? If I had to pick a favorite Zappa lineup it would probably be these musicians. Really special, to my ears.
Zappa, love of my live !
1979.......No one, No one was doing anything like this. Does anyone know the band line up at this time?
Sy Borg, Outside Now. Bring tears to my eyes.

Genial! hermoso todo :)
Virtuoos van start naar finish, thank you for sharing this with me,
Feels oddly chilling when the actual "Outside Now" guitar vamp comes in around 1:56
And then the actual solo at 4:30 ... WOW!
Damn. This is Return to Forever with Dimeola but more rhythmic. I love RTF and this as well.
All of it but especially the drums are exist
All of it but especially the drumming is exquisite.... (o:
