“Everyone in this room is wearing a uniform, don’t kid yourself.” This recording is an example of Zappa’s Xenochrony technique wherein he would combine live and studio performances and/or rearrange them editorially. He pioneered and used this technique…a lot.
Yes, as much as I love Zappa, I hate that apparently pro-vietnam war quote too
This is an archival release…the music was performed, mostly, in 1968
This is indeed a masterful composition. A collage of live and studio material, edited together seamlessly, by FZ himself. Violin by Sugarcane Harris. He was in the band briefly, but Frank got the most out of him! The vibrato/bends on a violin are done by the left hand on the fretless fingerboard. Frank tried to do stuff like this on the earlier albums with the original Mothers, but they had their limits as musicians. This was the last album he made with them. For more Sugarcane Harris with Frank, check out “Directly From My Heart To You”, from the Weasels Ripped My Flesh album. All of us reacted the same way you did when we first heard this back in the day…totally unique, exciting music. 😎👍
I read somewhere (maybe it was ‘the Real Frank Zappa’ book) that Frank had Sugarcane bailed out of jail to play on this. This is one of my favorite tracks in the catalog. Always great to see the young still getting into these fun teen hits. Jazz isn’t dead…etc.
Zappa was trash
Well..... my favourite FZ piece. Really beautiful.
Absolutely superb. The master of melodic and rhythmic invention.
Ian Underwood was omnipresent, playing the piano solos.
Hot Rats probably wouldn't have been the album that it was without him.
You are now ready, my son, to start on the Zappa catalog chronologically. _Freak out_ , _Absolutely Free_ , the twin albums of _We’re only in it for the Money_ & _Lump Gravy_ (which is orchestral), _Uncle Meat_ , your current listen _Burnt Weenie Sandwich_ , and _Weasels Ripped My Flesh_ . These albums constitute the early Mothers of Invention Era, with more or less the same players. Bonus: _Cruising with Reuben and the Jets_ , Zappa’s album of Doo-wop music. You have prepared yourself well, good luck on your journey.
Love all those and the Filmore album… Hot Rats and Waka Jawaka. Seen Frank Zappa 7 times(twice with Flo & Eddie). I heard recently that there is going to be another “Hot Rats” additional Album. ❤Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention.
I've heard this so many times and it still makes me gooseskin. FZ had so virtuoso musicians later in his career but the original Mothers were good enough to convey his brilliant ideas. A pasterpiece song from a fenomenal album - one of my all-time favs. Thanks for your reaction!
My big brother was the #1 Zappa fan of all time, He brought home "Freak Out" in 1966, he was 14, I was 13, Mr. Zappa played the soundtrack of our lives, on our 1 speaker Silvertone record player,Daily I kid you not!!! Bent our take on reality I assure you!!! 💥🎆🤔🪅🤬😱🤯🥵🥰🥰🥰
Always love the little tricks Zappa used to change tempo and his ability to remind us that the piano is a percussion instrument.
My favorite album, except for 4 or 5 others. Got this in 1970 and it blew me away.
One of my all time favorite Zappa albums.
Yes, same here!
Shit Album, Shit ugly boring clown zappa
@@marlon-jl4ge what's your problem? Why are you watching zappa reaction videos? You should return to Take That reactions!
Once upon a time Was an ugly boring asshole and ignorant named shitty zappa 🤣 🤣
@@michaosanna check your brain troll
Sounded like Don Sugarcane Harris on violin. He is featured on the song Directly From My Heart To You from the Weasels Ripped My Flesh album. The violin is a fretless instrument so it would be sliding rather than bending
Don "Sugarcane" Harris sings and plays lead violin on a cover of Little Richard's "Directly From My Heart To You", blues violin is great.
how some of those explorations get resolved is amazing...Frank brings jazz and rock together and solves the common denominator in a purer form then Miles did...I think Frank gets the rhthym section correct where Miles tries to have a jazz drum bedrock...frank has a rocking bedrock and it still allowed for wild improve.
The piano intro is performed by Ian Underwood…late in the piece, Zappa does the organ solo.
That's what I thought, as I remember that from reading the liner notes. Got in an argue with someone over it once.
This isn't truly or, entirely, 'live' but does have edited and overdubbed performances from the Mothers, recorded in 1969 from the famous Albert Hall concert. Other parts are studio recordings (the piano intro, some of the chamber music parts) and the main violin solo part is from the Hot Rats sessions (studio again). It is Sugarcane Harris on electric violin and the applause at the end isn't actually for this track, or the part of it that was played at the Albert Hall but for 'Cruising for Burgers' from the same concert.
Lots going on - an example of Zappa using and re-using parts of different pieces of music and then using the recording studio to actually compose the finished article!
Arguably his most epic tune.
Edited together from various recordings, live and studio, composed and improvised.
Some of the solos are from one 27 min jam with the solos shortened and moved around.
A pretty awesome piece of music.
Tbh I think the intro to this song is probably the most beautiful piece of music ever, but on top of that the 2 songs prior to this one that makes up the full 3 piece suite from the same album are just as powerful, the songs "holiday in Berlin" and "Aybe Sea". Oh my god they're so good, hands down my favorite 3 song suite. The little house I used to live in is truly a masterpiece but so are the other 2 songs. Acoustic piece at the end of Aybe Sea always makes me tear up, in a similar vein to when I listen to The Power of Love by mahavishnu orchestra.
BWS was his masterpiece; what's confusing is that he had more than one masterpiece.
mahavishnu orchestra
Probably the only band Zappa feared.
I’ve probably listened to this a thousand times, and hopefully they’ll be thousands more.
I got BWS when it came out and loved it immediately. Made me realize there can be humor in instrumental music.
the piano intro is my favorite part!
My favorite piano intro! The theme from BWS was my first great instrumental F.Z. love and is still one of my all-time favorites to this day, there's just something about it!
When I lived at my parents house in the 70/80-ies., I used to play this at a very, very, high volume. Possible visible on the electric bill. Everytime a wonderful journey.
this is really fantastic, the younger generation still listens to this great song! John, you do a great job!
Frank Zappa is pure musical genius.
As a 15 year old, someone turned me on to “Just Another Band from LA” with Mark Volman & Howie Kayan (Flo & Eddie). I was so blown away with the zaniness and the music, I ran out and bought Burnt Weenie Sandwich thinking I’d hear more of the same, comedy and curse words and great music and lyrics. Instead I got avant garde fusion jazz and Edgar Varese experimental elemental organized noise. I was doubly hooked on FZ for life….
Franks early stuff was pretty wild but controlled. Controlled hysteria.
So awesome seeing ALL of your reactions. FZ was a singular person who managed to figure and master the biz enough to put his desired music out. We’re lucky to have had his musical and thought gifts. Thank you so much!
I suggest you try out Uncle Meat which is a bit earlier. This piece is a mixture of studio and live recordings which he put together as a sort of collage held together by the main theme in variations
It was fun to see your reaction. ”Holiday in Berlin, full blown” from the same album (Burnt weeny sandwich) and ”Lumpy Gravy” is my recomendation for something similar.
It's gotta b difficult to interrupt this song for a comment, but I know you must. It's the kind of piece u just wanna groove all the way thru. SugarCane Harris is just friggin relentless on the fiddle lol.
My all time favorite. Don Sugarcane Harris. 1970
If you listen to a lot of his music for a long time you will eventually notice that almost all of his albums were live… people didn’t whistle and scream while at the shows thus ruining the show for recording. Frank recorded almost EVERYTHING… thanks for the post. One of my top 3 albums… because it is live. This is not random at all. He wrote all this out for every piece. Frank was in total control 99% of the time. You got to remember, he toured a lot and every night a new city or same venue, these guys played this stuff the way he wanted it to be played. He didn’t allow for any sloppiness… he would do a complete, full soundcheck every night before the show…. Everyone was payed for a full year, no matter what. Don “Sugarcane” harris electric violin…
The crossfade from live to studio was used a couple years prior by the Dead on Anthem of the sun
an absolute masterpiece!
To answer your question, in general terms, a fiddle and violin are the same instrument. The main difference is what style of music you're playing. It's a violin when you play classical music or jazz. A fiddle is for country, bluegrass or folk. I'd say this is mostly experimental jazz, so I'd go with violin. I also just learned that "Fiddle" can be a more generic term for any stringed instrument played with a bow, whether it's a violin, or an African one-string goge.
The talking in the end section:
FZ: Thank you, good night . . . Thank you, if you'll . . . if you sit down and be quiet, we'll make an attempt to, ah, perform Brown Shoes Don't Make It.
Man In Uniform: Back on your seats, come on, we'll help you back to your seats, come on . . .
Guy In The Audience: Take that man out of here! Oh! Go away! Take that uniform off man! Take off that uniform before it's fuckin' too late, man!
FZ: Everybody in this room is wearing a uniform, and don't kid yourself.
Guy In The Audience: . . . man!
FZ: You'll hurt your throat, stop it!
I bought this album when it came out and to this day I never get tired of that song. The entire album is fantastic, btw. I, too, believe it's his masterpiece... and live! Whaaat?? Wow, thanks for picking up on this suggestion.
Franks body of work is so massive it's hard to pick favorites, but Burnt Weeny Sandwich gotta be right up there.
It just goes to show, all things musical are possible. Thank-you for reminding me of this Mothers classic.
Hello , heureux de voir un jeune homme s’intéresser à Zappa et réagir comme tu l’a fait , ce morceau nous fait voyager dans au moins 5 types de musiques , tout est live mais il s’agit d’un collage de plusieurs concert, comme souvent avec Zappa, même sur des morceaux studio, il intègre des solos en concert car il trouvait plus l’inspiration en concert, il faut aussi savoir qu’il réarrangeait ses morceaux avant chaque concert et ce n’était jamais dans le même ordre, un année je l’ai vu 3 fois et les concerts étaient totalement différents, ils enregistrait tout et s’en servait pour faire ces disques. Tu rentre dans un monde que même moi avec 40 ans de recul fait encore des découvertes - il méritait le nom de génie ❤
@ 5:51 This little guitar bit, was expanded into a tune he named "Ship Ahoy" , and is one of the many truly unique solo styles that Frank had.
This is several pieces put together as one song. He often did that. On Wheasels Ripped My Flesh we have Toads Of The Short Forest and The Orange County Lumber Truck [Live] that are two favorites for me......and Prelude To The Afternoon Of A Sexually Aroused Gas Mask is fun to hear how they was acting on stage. From the same record we also have a wonderful solo on Get a Little.
And of course Uncle Meat, much to hear there too...like.... The Uncle Meat Variations.
And We're Only In It For The Money that was a kind of reachtion to Sgt Pepper. Here you can't pick a song because everything is glued together nicely so you have to take a side at the time. Think that'¨s the Zappa record I have played most over the years.
Listening to this I always have the impression that the Drummer is playing his heart out - jimmy Carl Black 😎
That's a great composer right there !
Mr.Slop, the more you listen, the more you get...enjoy 😊
Consider each instrument as a member of the household family of that era, with all the quirks, issues and sounds of the family.
I love this album . That song is one of my favorite pieces of music ever in any genre .
This was the last album with the original 1965 Mothers . Its one long instrumental , with 2 short songs originally by 1950's singing quartets . Frank later wrote some lyrics to some of the themes , and Flo and Eddie sang them , tho not for general release .
Including Lowell George and Roy Estrada who soon left to form Little Feat, allegedly with an encouraging push from FZ.
Glad to see youngins goin down this road!!! 👊🏼. Check out Thingfish and Joe's Garage. Shut up and play you're guitar!!!!! Them or US is when Steve Vai and Warren Cuccarulo came in. Miles off glorious music!!!!
His first half dozen albums are just like this song, especially Uncle Meat and Weasel’s Ripped
This piece never gets old
I think it’s better every time we listen to it
I grew up on this. One of my faves.
Excellent!
The solo by Sugarcane Harris exemplifies rock violin.
'Burnt Weenie Sandwich' was my first FZ album I bought. It was a cassette in the cut-out bin. I wore it out and then replaced it with the record which sounded even better. I went on to buying about 40 Zappa albums and saw him live 5 times. I sure miss him.
It is in deed beautiful
A Violin and a Fiddle are the same instruments. The difference is the style of music one is playing upon it.
Great! Nice and fun reaction
Man, that's one tasty little sucker! Love to blast this on weekends when cooking it up for the house. When it comes to music, there's simply no rival to FZ.
If you don’t get the comment, check the vinyl album cover. BTW, it is ‘God”, not “Man
Without shit ugly zappa, the music World would be much better 🤣 🤣
💥 Thanks I really enjoyed listening to that with you which gave me a chance to just listen to it without being distracted.
Premium Zappa!
BWS is my favourite Zappa (MOI) album. Theme from BWS is my favourite track but they are all good and this track is a real tour de force.
I love that there is a cat in the room
Ok, John,
just dug you digging this..cool stuff...so here's some answers to your questions...except for the opening piano stuff played by Ian Underwood, who's reading what FZ wrote, the entire remaider is live in the UK. The stunning electric violin is Sugar Cane Harris. The rest of the band is FZ, Bunk Gardner & Ian Underwood on saxes, Art Tripp & Jim Black on drums, Don Preston on piano, Roy Estrada on bass. FZ has already disbanded the original Mothers by this time. They were probably playing out their prior commitments. He's already into the Hot Rats sessions & he's also working on Weasles Ripped My Flesh (Harris is also on that of course and Hot Rats). FZ: a genius American composer...ok?
Superb album, uncle meat also
Fiddle and violin are the same instrument, and the term usually is a distinction of the music style. In general folk music would have fiddle and classical or pop love songs would have violin. If you're not familiar with a lot of the orchestral instruments (I have the advantage of high school band experience) you can find lots of videos where players demonstrate their instrument, related basic information about it like range or different sounds one can make with it, and tips on writing for the instrument.
Jean Luc Ponty was the violinist, electric violin.
His third album was basically two fifteen-minute songs
If you like the violin, Sugarcane Harris went on to join John Mayal for a time . Check out USA Union , Harris plays some great violin with added Wah wah peddle. . A very underrated album .
That section at around 20 minutes felt like crazy Mario Cart
Go John!!! I love your reaction to Sugarcane Harris' viiolin solo!!! Bless you!!!
🎸Guitar to Violin to Harmonica to Guitar 🎸
🎼🎼🎼CRANK SOME FRANK 🎼🎼🎼
I think your cat is trying to say it wants a couple of headphones too.
I'm partial to the smoothness of the Fillmore East version but. this was definitely great.👍
Very interesting tune.
I' m glad You liked it. I liked it, too.
The album is BURNT WEENY SANDWICH
Jean Luc - Ponty was Frank's violin player during this early period.................if you like what you heard listen to Jean Luc's first 3 albums from the mid 70's...................
This is from Burnt Wennie Sandwich, pre Ponte. It's most likely Sugarcane Harris.
I find all of Zappa’s music to be extremely beautiful, even the ugly stuff.
Zappa covered Stravinsky as well.
LI-tle-HOUSE-i-USED-to LIVE-in - how did I miss that until now?
I recommend cruising for burgers from uncle meat. Very different than the 80’s version you reviewed previously.
Jass is not dead... It just smells funny f.z.
Try Hot Rats from 1969 Instrumental apart from one track sung by Captain Beefhart Hot Rats ,a brilliant album you won't be disappointed.
The violin is fret-less. You can move your fingers with out bending
This definitely has some mud shark in it
Hoopla! Oink! Oink!
An electric violin, and it should be Jean-Luc Ponty playing it.
this was Don "Sugarcane" Harris on the electric violin
Jean-Luc was a little later I think. He was great on Dupree’s Paradise
@@wakajawaka44 But he also already worked on the arrangement of King Kong, which was earlier.
@@whycantiremainanonymous8091o mention of Jean Luc on the Uncle Meat album sleeve 1968 which has the original King Kong. But Jean Luc’s album “King Kong” Plays the music of Frank Zappa was published 1970
@@wakajawaka44 Apparently, Zappa composed the track for Ponty, before he put it on his own Uncle Meat (although, an early version was already on the orchestral version of Lumpy Gravy).
How about side 1??
20:10: Uncle Meat quote.
Violin got no frets
While not at all surprising, it’s great that you and a bunch of others are playing Zappa’s music. BTW, please do your research *before* you do your commentary. Thanx!
Mudshark...oink oink
Zappa was god.
The guy yelling was probably yelling about some political rant, Marxist screed or a comment about conformity
In the Royal Albert Hall no less!
The violinist was likely Jean Juc Ponty who was on several of Zappas albums and tours in the 70s to early 80s. Ponty is of course an accomplished violinist and successful recording artist in his own right.
The guy at the end was sceaming about facist police and dont ever trust uniformed people
It's wonderful music but the editing and much of the playing are crude compared to what he would eventually accomplish.
Great track! 20 small cigars is great also. Strictly Genteel, and my fav Filthy Habits! King Kong! The list goes on & on!
Don't say, "Alright guys, let's just jump right into the song" and then sit there flapping your lips. Jump Right Into the song, Mother......
