- Ray White and Zappa are a match made in heaven. Good lord, this was hilarious. And yet so masterful. His live performances are so damn good!

There are Zappa People, and their are the poor condemned souls who live without color in their lives....🤘
ray can peel the paint off the back of the theatre with his voice...so powerful
Undoubtedly......The Prized Gem Stone in the Frank Zappa Tiara.
Forget Christina Aguilera.......Ray White shows how the Blues is Sung.
This whole show is by far one of his Best Live Performances.
I heard Ray White sing The Evil Prince at the Baked Potato a couple years ago. Just amazing to hear him sing that right in front pf me.
I saw zappa times... never disappointed ❤
New York is my favorite Zappa album. Bozzio/O'Hearn rhythm section 🔥. Not to mention White, Jobson, Underwood the Brecker Bros and the Saturday Night Live horn section. Purple Lagoon is insane! 👍
I remember when this album came out. It was instantly one of my favorites. Thanks for appreciating this song.
Keep it Greasy - from Joe's Garage - ultimate drumming - you'll love it.
Vinnie Colaiuta, yes
Sloppy overrated Colai. Frank overkilled vinnie the overrated legend, with reverbed drum effects making Sloppy Colai sound cooler. His tinny drumming is displayed on live tinsel town rebellion, lowest selling album since wakajawaka. Vinnie killed franks progression into stardom that was on display before 1978.
The enema bandit is actually a true story
Frank was really frank and he could put anything in a song, no such thing like obscene words, and who was prone to getting offended, got offended. And in his real life, he was notorious with his overwhelming and devastating honesty. Brilliant musicianship, with that monsterous vocals and that razor-edge guitar solo (one of the best that I ever heard). Thanks for all fridays you delivered and you will! ...I think you are ready for Keep It Greesy :)
So you go down easy :)
Terry Bozzio-dr; Patrick O'Hearn-bs; Eddie Jobson-kbds; Ed Mann & Ruth Underwood-perc; Ray White-rthm gtr & vocals; Frank Zappa-gtr & voc; not to mention everybody on backing vocals at any given time. + Special guests: Don Pardo - announcements; & The SNL brass ensemble.
Some of them formed "missing person" a great new wave band. Worth checking out
He was a singularity.
@@georgeperkins4171
From that line-up, only Terry "formed" Missing Persons, along with wife Dale and Warren Cucurullo.
Patrick O'Hearn was added later.
Hello !
Ed Mann wasn't present at the December Palladium concerts.
But he did some studio overdubs in March 77
Zappa Prime - 75 - mid 78.
Zappa really let loose in the guitar solo!
"His ability to shine but not outshine everything else is so good."
Well said !! Yes. He was a composer first, an arranger second, and he hired musicians he *wanted* to jam with. Always willing to hang back and let everyone else co-create, (to his compositional template), til the time his part enters and takes its part.
One thing I loved about those times is they’re was no violence mixed in to the evening
First Zappa show was mid 70's. Felt Forem. NYC. Bongo Fury with Captain Beafheart. 3rd row. Center stage. Evryone was tripping. Lot of guest were in costumes. It was Halloween. 3 young ladies were in front ofus in the second row dressed as fairies. When the show ended and the lights came on they turned around and blew fairy dust in our faces. We all fell over our seats. After that things got really.wild.
I'm convinced that the "cosmic chill " vibe wafting from Franks creations was the only thing keeping me sane through the 70's and beyond! A great anchor to the absurdity of reality during my years of "mind expanding " substance research, allegedly....I was introduced to Zappas music because of my ❤ of the Grateful Dead.
I love this song. One of my favourite FZs....
I was lucky to have been in the crowd at one of this weeks NYC shows.
Little House I Used To Live In from Burnt Weeny Sandwich!
Love this particular FZ band members in the live…. Wonderful performance recording! Live in NY rules!
Pretty soon, you'll hear the Black Page
A fantastic group of musicians and a prolific, brutally honest skilled composer with a wicked sense of humour who refuses to sacrifice one once of artistic integrity! FZ is music royalty!! 🤘😏🎹🏆
I was able to see Frank in concert. Fantastic show and Frank is so talented!
That's two or three Zappa songs you've done, 133 albums left to pour through!
Yes, he could make a song out of anything, be it piddle in the snow or a margarine commercial
Love the old timey crime drama/Dragnet type vamp in the beginning....FZ knew the music to any given context. Ray White kills it here !!
🚬😎👍
Edit: Just copped The Mothers 1970 box set. Gonna get into it when work is finished- gonna be a GREAT Friday night, eh ?....
Hitting alot of zappa is a dream come true for me. Now if you'd start digging into some Devo, I'll have it all. So glad I found you.
This never gets old!!
You should check out one of his early pieces from Freak Out : "WHO ARE THE BRAIN POLICE?" Concise and cutting.
Featuring "DON PARDO" woop-woo,woop-woo
Take it away, Don
Being a drummer, "The Black Page" might just be the treat for you.
I'm part😅😅to black napkins but I play guitar
As far as i know the story in the song about the enema bandit is true, which is kinda hilarious but explains why frank would write a song about it
Saw him in 78 or 79, armadillo in austin tx. He stood there like a conductor. Leading the band with the wand. Whenever he did a solo ,someone would place the guitar on him. Also a bald guy in a robe, who looked like a wrestler. ( i think i saw him on tv ) sitting on a table on the floor in front of the stage, just scanning the audience contantly, perhaps menacingly. I thought is was part of the show but i learned that frank was kncked off the stage once and injured his leg. Thats where the line from " dancing fool" came from " one of my legs is shorter than the other and both of my feets too long"
That menacing bald guy was John Smothers, also known as Bald-Headed John from the Joe's Garage album.
He became Frank's personal bodyguard after the push from the stage in Dec. 1971. Bald-headed John can be seen in the live video The Muffin Man from the Baby Snakes movie.
You most likely saw Zappa at the Armadillo in Oct. '80.
No listing for Zappa there in '78 and he only toured in Europe in '79.
i hadn't heard this one before. great!! thanks!!
Live liquid gold this one! Love the version of the torture never stops on this album... And basically every other song on it.. Ff-ING genius performance
You need to do the whole album, it's a classic. This song, "Titties and Beer," "Big Leg Emma," even a live version of "Sofa." Worth a listen.
Zappa's a great pick for you cuz he definitely insisted on the drummer(s) were an intregal part of all his compositions and not just glorified metronomes.
Has anyone here watched 200 Motels? I love that movie/soundtrack!
Does this kind of life look interesting to you ? Night after night, dinners with Herb Cohen. Thrill-packed, fun-filled evenings on the French Riviera at the MIDEM convention. A big tie, the whole bit. Watch Mutt eat, and Leon feed the geese. One thousand green business cards, with your name and the wrong address. Plus six royalty statements, inspected and customized by ran toon tan han toon frammet and dee. Followed by twelve potential suicides as the members of your group, past and present, find out they can't collect unemployment. A dog, a car, an epidemic of body lice with your own record company, your name on the door, electric buzzer to the inner office, Ona's tits, and a three month supply of German bookings with tickets on Air Rangoon. Does this kind of life look interesting to you ? As a big rock and roll guitar player in a comedy group ?
@@lw1zfog It did, and it still does!
Love your take on our Frank man you totally get it
Thanks man I appreciate that. He was one of a kind
Ray effin White!
Great. track,love the album.
Roy Estrada ! Wonder where he is now ! Probably hell ! 😮
he gets released from jail in 2037 he will be around 94 if he lives that long.

Hi Bwana. Good to see you, Mate!
Great reaction Lee. Terry bozzio on drums. I'm proud to say I was at this show 💪🏽🎶🎸
Thanks Gary! Glad you enjoyed it. That is so dope you got to go. I bet it was an unforgettable experience! I can only imagine..
Me too, Sydney Horden Pavilion 1975
Great FZ Friday as always. Frank challenged his drummers with the 'Black Page', be interesting to hear your thoughts...
L33 reacted to the Zappa Plays Zappa version of The Black Page a good while back.
Frank Zappa & Captain Beefheart - Advance Romance

College educated women
And yes you're right Ruth as well
Frank's solos are always attuned to the songs' content and meanings and Bandit for me is one of his most expressive. Don't think too much about the (w)hole enema process folks and please "no poo poo jokes!" ;)
Don Pardo was famous announcer who ended his career on SNL. This had to be around time FZ was on SNL. Don did a verse of “I’m the Slime”. Many of the musicians you saw on the Joe Cocker/John Belushi duet on SNL are on this album.
Gold
Yeah!!! I'll subscribe to anyone that can dig Frank! So many memories!
Regarding Weird Al Yankovic: Common misconception is that he only does straight parodies. Weird Al has 14 studio albums in which about half of the songs are original songs composed by Al himself. Many of these original songs are pastiches, or "style parodies," where he writes a song in the style of a particular artist or music genre. His pastiche of Frank Zappa is called Genius in France. It even features Dweezil playing a guitar solo. Please react to it and help to show people that Weird AL is not a one trick pony. Although he did play a pony named Cheese Sandwich on My Little Pony.
So... Not a pony, but played one on TV. Got it! 😏
I don't know enough about Yankovic's entire catalog to know, so I'm asking:
Does he have any songs that are entirely his own, not paying homage to other artists as well as straight-up parodies?
@@Royale_with_Cheeze
I believe so. I've heard at least two which I think were original. Virus Alert, and another one about the Pancreas.
@WhosieWhatNow Yes. For instance: Melanie, Hardware store, Midnight Star. Then there are songs that are in a specific genre such as Generic Blues (blues), This is the Life (sort of ragtime), One More Minute (doo wop), Good Enough for Now ( country).
@HareDeLune Virus Alert is in the style of the Sparks. Pancreas is Brian Wilson/Beach Boys/Pet Sounds. Still original songs by Yankovic.

That live album is a goldmine.
hahahhaaa... was waiting for you to get to this. don pardo was the voice of your tv back in the day. adds so much ambiance.
Don Pardo was a famous TV announcer at the time. His biggest gig was as the announcer for the game show "Concentration". As for the ZAPPA in New York album, all I can say is, try the first song on the album, it is called "Titties And Beer". Enough info for you?
He also was the announcer on Jeopardy with Art Fleming
Don't forget his SNL announcing gig. That's what got him and the NBC horn section on this gig.
He is playing with The Mothers' Of Invention.
Hi Lee. FYI - A list of the musicians on this album is on wiki.
When I looked it up last night, there was no personnel tab
Similarly with Roxy & Elsewhere, Live In New York had mostly material that was only ever done Live and appeared here first. The original version had a track called "Punky's Whips" which was replaced with "Big Leg Emma" after only a few of the Original Pressings were distributed.
The 2019 3 LP rerelease had a version of this as well as a few extra tracks included. The 5 CD set has a 28+ minute version of "Black Napkins" that is worth a listen if you have time.
Nice selection from a great album by a great band, of course
Hot soapy water
First recomendation-- don't go to Wikipedia for truthful information. WAKE UP BOY!
For music? Wikipedia is fine. Anything else, not so much old man.
"It's my feeling that lyrics cannot harm anyone. Disturbed people can be set off on a disturbed course of action by any kind of stimulus." - FZ
If you want something just a tiny bit hilarious, do a reaction to "Call Any Vegetable" from the album "Absolutely Free".
Better version of CAV on Just Another Band From LA, 'it's fucking great to be alive!'
@@Peter-K Strongly disagree! Only the recording technology is better. The Absolutely Definitive Version is just that.
@@thescrewflyat the very least you need to add in the Invocation and Ritual Dance of the Young Pumpkin to give it some oomph, but Flo and Eddie add a flare to the JABFLA version, as if they were meant to perform those lyrics...IMHO
Outstanding pick!
Since your on this album you need to do The Purple Lagoon
Every all thing is there.
Broken hearts are for assholes! Baby don't ya wanna man like me!
No poo poo jokes
Frank :)
Opinion question here:
How many folks prefer the original vinyl version of this with the echo added to Don Pardo's voice when announcing the song as well as the echo on Frank's guitar at the beginning of the solo? This version doesn't have that echo.
Maybe because I've been used to hearing it since 1978, I prefer the echo.
There is no wrong answer, just your preference.
Yo mama should be next or joes garage
If you want to see Frank Zappa Trip out with Pink Floyd in 1968,,,,,,Check out
Pink Floyd - Interstellar Overdrive with Frank Zappa (Music Power & European Music Revolution).
Roger Waters is so Tripped Out on LSD that he looks Like an AXE Murderer.
Trippy Song to say the Least
I have to see that lol sounds fantastically wild
Oct. 25, 1969.
I don't know that it's Interstellar Overdrive. More like an improvised jam.
Here's the link:

@@L33Reacts
It's really not that wild. However, it highlights how very different Zappa's approach to music was from the guys in Pink Floyd.
Coming from a person who is a fan of both and very familiar with the music of both, Frank's guitar playing in that video sounds much more formal and structured, and sticks out like a sore thumb compared to the Floyd's usual fare.
Was that "movie like" enough
It's a true story, look up google images Michael Kenyon, enema bandit
Zappa is an acquired taste,...
Like the New Count Down Intro!!!!
Thank you my friend! The last one was very crowded....
Tortured my sister-in-law with this (and all three discs) on a 20 hour turn-around road trip to move her from Joplin, MO to Roswell, NM!
I remember this one. It’s a big dilemma.😂 I don’t know, I don’t think that’s right. I’m wrong again. On this album there are two of my favorite songs of all time. Honey, don’t you want a man like me and titties and beer.
I heard he's on the loose
You can't do that on stage any more!
Brown shoes don’t make it ….Uncle Meat then go for the next 100 albums

Hey Peter K.
Zappa prime peak era 75-early 78. One size fits all thru sheik yer bouti with Baby snakes movie concert in between.
A discussion with Peter K years ago, believing the organic Zappa style of 72-74 was the prime Frank, however, he missed the point that Frank did the roxy and elsewhere styles, waka jawaka, hot rats jazzy rock styles even with Bozzio a\after mid 75,and it sounded better mixing it with a garden variety Pop rock style.
Bongo Fury album had the one size fits all crew except they added Bozzio and Beefheart, Starting with this new mid 75 band and changing the lineup to. Ray white, then Adrian Belew after Ray White, to Tommy Mars after Eddie Jobson, Tommy Mars and peter wold, DOUBLE KEYS!, better sounding than one Duke.
A more appropriate fitting combination for the next Pop rock jazz ,organic fusion combined into a more modern Frank style that made him the most money in concerts and sales of albums. musically and technically.
This became 75-mid 78, Franks prime era not compared to any other of any time before or after.
Just finished listening to the most mind boggling guitar solos and drumming ,better than SHut up series, in the baby snakes concert series, guitar solo package played in the Peter K way of very organic styles, not using dimarzio pickups as he did with Vinnie colaiuta in the shut up series or tinsel town.. He was organically playing his SG in thee solos october 1977 to Feb 78 and a few months with vinnie mid 78.Then changed to the pickups taking away getting further away of your organic idea..
Guitar solos, october 28 thru 31 1977 especially late show 10/28 second half of album..
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_H._Kenyon
I read a story from many years ago about Michael Kenyon being in line at the unemployment office. When he got to the window and said his name, the guy behind him knew it from this song and said, excitedly, "Hey! You're the Illinois Enema Bandit!" and Kenyon just ran out of there.
@@Royale_with_Cheeze
I read that same story.
