      Well said br1tag. I bought the Roxy Box recently and am so happy I did. Love this line-up so much, and they perform so masterfully yet playfully. One thing that strikes me is how seemingly calm Frank remained under the pressure and expense of filming.

      holy shit man...and I thought I was a big fan of Zappa with 80 albums or so ( back in the day when all this digital content was not available). Hands down to you master. And thank you for all this marvelous music of
      Frank Amadeus Mozart Zappa.

      I need to add this boxed set to my collection of Zappa discs.
      I THANK YOU MUCH for this download as I do appreciate the music of F.Z. and the talented musicians who have played with him.

    In the second Montana solo take, Frank is wearing the "München" t-shirt. Love it, saw him twice in Munich back in the eighties. Frank Zappa was really big in Germany, three cities in Germany have streets named after Fank Zappa.

    I think some thing that I almost never see in Br1tags comment section, but deserves to be there is his mixing. All of his edits between the solos is seamless, like all of these cuts could have been an official release.

    I bought my first Frank Zappa album when I was fifteen (Zoot Allures) which was back in 1975. From that year until today I always return to his music from time to time and still discover new aspects of his incredible work. I love this man and his music. In the eighties I saw him twice live in concert in my hometown Munich which were both fantastic performances.

  • @cheyneallen7186
    @cheyneallen7186 4 года назад +8

    Now you must do the same to his other box sets. I was attracted, as a teen, to Zappa's lyrics and humor, but it is his instrumental jams that have kept me around 50 years later.

  • @Guitar6ty

      Frank would say that soloing was the only time during a performance that he could shut his eyes and let the band go on autopilot and he was able to drift off into sololand.

    I devour all things Zappa. I only had the pleasure of seeing him once in '77 but have seen Dweezil several times. Moon is coming out with a memoir soon and i can wait to hear the stories she has about growing up in that house.

    Frank Zappa is one of the best musicians of his era (and ours) if not the best. He was a great guitarist and a great composer. What I never understood is that no matter of what guitar he uses - Gibson SG, Gibson Les Paul, or Fender Stratocaster, he always sounds... well like Zappa! Fantastic! and thans a lot for this wonderful collection of solos!!! I really don't understand how some people dare saying that Zappa was a bad soloist! Well, de gustibus...

  • @davidwalters7867
    @davidwalters7867 Год назад +5

    THIS collection is way better than the official Roxy Shows which are very disjointed with much talking. I love Frank and if I am to listen to him over and over again the guitar is great and the banter should be only a one time distraction. Repeated banter is a clever way to sell but it is not music and you only need to hear it once. GBG NO EDITS.

  • @tixximmi1

    Zappa had style, density, and unlimited quantity. There are great guitar players out there but none ever reached the level of Frank. Nice job br1tag. Very nice blend.

    I discovered the music of Frank Zappa in the mid 90's when I was 15, listened to 'Läther' and got hooked immediately ! I could not believe what I was hearing, all these different musical dimensions that man had created... 'RDNZL', 'Down in the Dew', 'Filthy Habits', 'The Chrome-Plated Megaphone of Destiny', 'San Berdino', Uncle Meat', etc, etc... It is a neverending quest through the infinite genius of Frank Zappa ! Each album has got its own unique color of genius and is a piece of the puzzle of his 'conceptual continuity' ! Each album is an exciting discovery... Vive Frank Zappa !

    They need to put Frank Zappa's most brilliant solos and some amazing live music on repeat and have it blasted through outer space if there is Life as We Know It out there Frank will be the connection. There's no way that any other life-form in the vastness of outer space will be able to ignore Frank Vincent Zappa's music

  • @tixximmi1
    @tixximmi1 6 лет назад +2

    Zappa always played in a distinctive style. His leads usually had a beginning, climax, and ending. His ability to group instruments into a fine composition was simply amazing. The sounds produced were sometimes a one of a kind. They never get old.

    I've been watching your videos since I was in High School, br1tag! I have always loved your work, one of the reasons I continue to have a presence on YT is just to listen to your awesome collections of FZ's music. I can't tell you how happy I am that this collection exists, especially with my favorite solo for Dupree's Paradise at 29:19. Thank you so much.
