A comment about Frank’s solos. He’s recorded virtually all of his live solos. He’d often lift a solo from a live performance and put it into a new song. I think he called it Xenochromancy
If you want to hear another great trio of solos, check out the “King Kong” medley from, “Roxy By Proxy”. I’d love to see your reaction to that.
If you want to know how important Frank was for his musicians, check out interviews with people that played in his band.
Like George Duke, Ruth Underwood, Steve Vai etc etc.
Cosmic Debris Zappa plays Zappa Napoleon playing SAX check that out buddy🎉😊
Welcome to the wonderful world of Frank and the mothers. Hands down, no s--t, one of the best guitarists, composers, band leaders, and social commentators of .... ever! Was thrilled to watch your enthusiasm!
"Before I was a fan, now I'm an air conditioner." Best line I've heard in a long time. 👍😁 Frank was a one of a kind genius. The mother of all music rabbit holes really.
Thought that was Frank nice one!
Zappa was filth
You can say that
I miss Zappa, but your tribute makes me smile
@@kosta60 you are wrong.
Polo...if you're jumping into the Frank Zappa rabbithole, strap in and be prepared for a wild ride...
- but -
Expect it to be pleasurable, and expect to come out changed.
Frank Zappa was a national treasure.
Yes. Yes he was. He had tons of talents, and one of them was seeing the talents of the other group members, and a skill of putting them all together so the sum was so much more than its parts! and he had FUN while doing so much of it!
Zappa is exponential.......it opens-up a world of other highly qualified musicans who have been 'touched' by the innovative experience of playing his music.
I enjoy Frank's interviews as much as his music. He was ahead of his time and a musical genius.
Keep these coming... if you go in completely blind to a Zappa song, you may stumble onto a wtf moment. Forge ahead. You'll discover so much from the musical world you didn't know exists. Zappa is an experience
My wedding song was Peaches en Regalia
😁😁😁
Like so many people already said, Frank Zappa was a musical genius. I've been a fan since I was a child. Looking forward to more Zappa reactions.
The list of PHENOMENAL musicians that played with Frank Zappa is endless. The drummers alone are breathtaking. Of course if you weren’t world class you couldn’t keep up with Mr. Zappa!
Apostrophe is in my top 10 greatest albums of all time
You gotta do Montana
One of my absolute favs
Jean Luc Ponty on violin was such an underrated addition to this ensemble, and such a pleasure to see him live. If you've never heard of him, go check out his significant album collection. He was a genius on the violin.
You're discovering Zappa? Oh, this is going to be so much fun to watch. Go!
The rhythm section is astounding. You can tell their rehearsals are like an orchestra, yet they leave room for improv
It's a bit unfortunate Zappa isn't more well known for his guitar playing, but those who know KNOW
yes sadly undervalued.
Shut up and play your guitar.
(hell, Steve Vai got his start with this madman!)
everyone knew, Frank hated the way the music business was.
Zappa was filth
Early 80's Zappa as a guitarist is the best Zappa.
Going to Montana soon, gonna raise me a crop of lonely dental floss, gonna raise it up, and wax it down, and drive it through the heart of town.
Frank Zappa is awesome! That sax player is Ian Underwood and its George Duke on the keys, two of the greats. Zappa refused to surround himself with anyone other than the best musicians. This line up around the mid 70s was electric. Their live performance of "Inca Roads" from A Token of His Extreme is incredible, you should do that one next!
99.9% correct! (Only thing wrong is that Ian Underwood is armed with a bass clarinet rather then a sax 🎷 for this song)😊.
One thing about Frank is he sits back and lets the band play too, but there is no doubt when he plays. Do you know he was appointed role as special ambassador of Czechoslovakia to the West on trade, culture, and tourism under President Vaclav Havel? and so much more
The absolute must next listen is Inca Roads, trust me.
Too bad the live video is kinda ruined by the modeling clay thing....
Zappa was filth
@@marlon-jl4geput down the bottle, find a new comment.
@@LForehandzappas shit music without sense, is suitable for flushing the toilet 😂😂😂
Frank Zappa is a musical genius and composer, who wrote out parts for each musician, ala symphony/orchestra music. Steve Vai got a job with Frank Zappa by transposing the music, meaning he heard the music and took the time to write it all out in musical notation. All Frank's musicians are virtuosos on their respective instruments.
Hell, he wrote out EVERYTHING! Background banter in a restaurant, (clinking glasses, fork clanks) the conversations that are inaudible, all written out. Genius for sure
Tranascribing. Not transposing.
@@bjc2 yes, transcribing not transposing. you are correct.
The Sax player Ian Underwood was using an Envelope Filter effect
Looks like a bass clarinet.
TOOL IS THE GOAT.., BUT THIS MAN IS UNREAL
Musical genius.. only the musical elite got into Zappa’s band.. he released over 50 albums while he was alive
I've been waiting to dig into Frank Zappa. This is my first taste of his music. I'm intrigued!!
I'm in the debt of a college roommate who, in about 1974, forced me to listen to 'Overnight Sensation'. He was such a great composer and had a knack for attracting impeccable musicians on his albums and his touring bands. I'm not a musician or music expert, but friends of mine who are claim that 'Peaches en Regalia' is among the best instrumental songs out there. I look forward to more of your reactions. Thanks!
Peaches is fantastic. It's such a shame we lost the brilliance of FZ.
Frank never played the same solo twice. He stayed within certain parameters, but each was ad libbed. He said people buy tickets to see a live performance and should get their money's worth with originality.
This is, hands down, my favorite Zappa song. The album ("Apostrophe") is killer. It informed my early college years, along with Patti Smiths "Horses" and anything by Parliament. The 70's were alive with musical diversity.
Every black musician should listen to Frank Zappa! - George Clinton
@FZMOI FZMOI I ADORE George Clinton! ADORE him!! The funk, the freedom....I can still sing "Who's got the Funk" inside my head. I'd bop down the hall with everyone looking at me like I was nuts. Not enough Parliament fans at St. Edward's University in the late 70's.
@@mauramanning852 Frank and Clinton should have collaborated, it would have been legendary! :)
Love Zappa and Clinton, but truly surprised to hear anyone bring up Patti Smith. I love her early stuff from the late 70’s so much, but honestly, I’ve given up on even suggesting her anymore cause no one reacts to her, and then if they ever do, it’s always someone else’s song that she’s covered like “Because The Night”, “Hey Joe” or “Gloria” which are great.. but don’t really showcase her talent, imho.
Then they don’t ever react to any of her songs ever again.. 🙄
I wish people could dig into some of her juicier tracks, like “Birdland”, “Kimberly”, or “Horses”. Hell, even “Piss Factory” would be super cool to see a react to, but honestly, I’ve given up hope completely as people tend to zoom in on those formula crafted milk toast radio “hits” and never get to the REAL MEAT.
@CanDo3D "Horses", both the album and the song were revelatory for me. I remember knocking on doors in my dorm freshman year of college and insisting they listen immediately. Very few really heard or understood the subject matter. She accepted Dylans Nobel Prize for him, you know. She recited his lyrics... and it was riveting. I met a former high school classmate of hers once. Everyone thought she was a genius. They were right.
Have you ever explored the work of Dory Preven? A bit off the beaten track - but worth the effort. I suggest "Beware of Young Girls".
Hell Yeah Polo. Jamming with some more live FZ! That bass clarinet solo by Ian Underwood ain’t something you see every day… and George Duke on keys… and Ruth Underwood on percussion and Jean Luc Ponty on violin… helluva lineup. “Inca Roads” or “Montana” next please…or “Watermelon in Easter Hay” if you want to kick back and get lost in Franks’s gorgeous guitar playing. 🤘🏼🎧🤟🏼
Yup! Some real beast players of the jazz fusion era on that stage with Frank.
Cool somebody who knows their FZ I've seen him six times and own quite a few albums and CDs Aynsley Dunbar on drums and even Steve Vai tons of great musicians
Yes please to those three pieces!
Watermelon!
I gots to add Sofa song.
Ahhhhhh. Zappa fans ❤️
How about the Illinois enema Bandit Michael Canyon true story with Ray White on vocals
Shit zappa made history as an ugly boring asshole
Alman Brothers opened for Zappa in Milwaukee and closed with Wipping Post. Zappa opened his act with Wipping Post and the crowd went wild.
Awesome. Haven't seen that performance yet. He always hired the best of the best and you had to be a phenomenal reader because he wrote almost every note in the piece. R.I.P FRANK ZAPPA.
Love his jazz era!
Frank often described his picking style as a Chicken fighting with a Spider... The beginning of his solo showed us that in spades!! RIP Frank... Wherever you are.
The studio version of "Eccentrifugal Force/Apostrophe" is phenomenal, with the late grate Jack Bruce of the band "Cream" sitting in on bass...
The entire album is musical genius.
I spent 15 years as a sound man and recording engineer. In the mist of that, I saw Frank on Halloween in NYC in 1981. Show was set from 8 until Midnight. At 12:30 am he said Pretend we are walking off stage, and then returning to do an auncoure. The band played for another 45 minutes. This man was a workhorse. I bet he smoked a pack of ciggarettes during the show. The Best Show Ever.
The genius that is Zappa. Mic drop.
This song is in response to the late sixties, early seventies artist following different gurus to find enlightenment…..FZ always had his tongue firmly planted in his cheeks……another great album is Trance-fusion…..
Legendary musicians all and leave it to Frank to bring them all together. Great song.
You have just started this journey, FZ wrote some of the best rock, blues,jazz music you will ever hear.✌️
Ian Underwood on sax, Jean Luc Ponty on violin and George Duke on piano. Saw this group live oh so many years ago.
Frank Zappa was a genius and he always had an amazing band of great musicians.
Zappa is the wildest rabbit hole in music. It's different and amazing. Some of the best musicians were in his band and he made them better. A musical genius! And a comedian.
If you think Tool is a rabbit hole…… haha. Tool and Frank Zappa. Both in my top 5. Excellent taste sir.
Frank Zappa - Carolina Hardcore Ecstasy
Every solo Frank Zappa played was improvised. I think he encouraged it to his other musicians as well. It was only everything else that was composed, orchestrated, and conducted, and what have you.🤘🎶♾️
It's nice when a reactor sees Zappa as less of an oddity and sees the actual genius.
The sax solo is by Ian Underwood, a multi instrumentalist who was with Zappa for 6 years through several line ups and stylistic changes while still sound unmistakeably Zappa.
Piano solo is by George Duke.
This is a huge discography with a wide variety of sounds, parodies, wild solos, orchestral sounds, experimental sounds etc.
It’s a bass clarinet, though, played through some effect pedal, maybe wah-wah.
@@TheUtke it's still Ian, though.
It is indeed.
Zappa was filth
if you haven't listened to the studio version of this yet, you've gotta check it out. It's absolutely killer.
"I write and play music for myself, my sole intended audience" ~ Frank Zappa
You have just touched the tip of the tip of a huge iceberg, you're in for some wonderful discoveries!
"Information is not knowledge.
Knowledge is not wisdom.
Wisdom is not truth.
Truth is not beauty.
Beauty is not love.
Love is not music.
Music is the BEST" ~ Frank Zappa
I recommend, Lucille Has Messed My Mind Up.
I would say if your into this Zappa...try "Genius in France" by Weird Al. The song is a complete dedication to Zappa's work, and is a marvel of a song. Includes Frank's son to do the opening solo
his whole band HAD to read music including the drummer. Terry Bozzio is one my all time favorites and Steve Vai was incredible as well. One of the best interviews I ever saw is Bozzio & Vai....Two guys on another level.
Zappa played with Vinnie Colaiuta, a legend who is widely regarded as one of the greatest sight readers in all of the drum community. Zappa had a piece of music called "The Black Page", a concept piece of such complexity, the idea behind it was a musician/drummers biggest fear was being handed "the Black Page". Vinnie was on the kit with 2 music stands, one had the music on it and the other was flat with a plate of sushi on it.
Vai recalls the session being him, Frank, Bozzio and Colaiuta among others. As Vinnie was sight-reading the piece, he plays a part with one hand, turns the page with another, switches hands to push up his glasses while playing with his other, and switches again to eat a piece of sushi, never missing a stroke or a beat. Vai says he started cracking up, Frank threw his manuscript paper in the air and Bozzio just turned around and walked out.
Oh, shit, Our boi is into the Mothers now.Enjoy the trip.. Oh, this Rabbit Hole is very deep. lol.
That’s Ian Underwood on wah wah Sax! Ian was a steady collaborator of Franks for much of the early years. And of course George Duke on keys! Lots of talent indeed!
Zappa. Tities and beer. Classic. Such a true song .
welcome to Zappa and the Mothers. it's a great rabbit hole. buckle up and go for the ride. you won't regret it.
There is NO ONE like Frank his intellect his sense of humor and of course his musical sensibilities and talent are unmatched. I'm ashamed to admit that I don't know/can't recall the other players except Jean Luc Ponty the fabulous violinist which I humbly suggest that you check out as well. Luvuman.
Frank had so many unusual but fantastic sounds. He was a big favorite of the music majors at my university in the 90's. He has over 60 albums, so it's hard to say what is best. My personal favorite Zappa is the 3-album Joe's Garage in it's entirety. For reaction purposes, I would suggest Inca Roads (live) next. ruclips.net/video/wqp71DOJ3aY/видео.html It is a great song and showcases more of his unusual instrumentations. You had a bass clarinet solo with trombone in this song, which is weird. Inca has heavy use of keyboard, marimba and flute.
In Honor of Frank Zappa. Maybe Polo should listen to "Smoke on the Water" by Deep Purple. He needs the back story though.
Welcome onboard the Zappa train!
IMO the only way to listen to the album “apostrophe” is from beginning to end.. easily in my top five albums of all time! Isnt it amazing that frank writes all of the parts? The entire piece
Agreed!
At the height of his career, Frank played my friends Highschool. Can you imagine that showing up at your high school assembly? So jealous.
Virtuoso musicians. All masters of their instruments.
That's geaorge Duke ok keys. This is frank with the mothers of invention. His band changed a lot over the years
A lot of great session players filled those seats over time.
Zappa was garbage
Brings back good times, in the round, celebrity theatre, just me and the Pygmy Pony, RIP
Celebrity Theater, PHX, saw this lineup.
In 1977, I saw Fleetwood Mac, the Eagles, the Doobie Brothers, Asleep at the Wheel, the Grateful Dead, Frank Zappa, Bob Dylan, Talking Heads, New Riders of the Purple Sage, and numerous others. A great year!
Frank is one of the top composer's of our time!
For a man who never wrote any enduring major "hit songs", Zappa's influence on future generations of musicians cannot be overstated. Some call him "America's Mozart".
Keyboardist George Duke (RIP) was an awesome centerpiece to this band with Jon Luc Ponty and Ruth Underwood, among those I recognize. As has been said, dozens of AWESOME musicians played with Frank.
I was lucky to hear Frank Zappa when I was young, back in 1987. Jazz from hell has been with me all my musical life. I still listen to songs from that album to thus day.
As ever I advocate not doing these things the easy way - so Polo might consider watching the rest of this tv concert (Stockholm 1973, the full-length version is around 75 mins)
Dude. In 2000 I decided to become my favorite guitar player. It took about 10 years of brutal honesty to become the most interesting guitar player I have ever known. Young players (I got a guitar in 1969) can play circles around me and I play one sweet note. Blues! And everything else. You don't have to make a deal with the devil. Learn from everything and play like YOURSELF. Play everyday, no matter what and take a day off now and again. Play every instrument you can get your hands on. I learned much from Zappa's extraordinary work.
Zappa always had the best musicians
BTW - Zappa was considered one of the greatest guitarists of his generation. He'd often play with a rubber chicken hanging from its neck. He never took himself seriously...just the music itself.
In the late 60s and early 70s, the peace, love and music tribe, called the counter-culture, was in ascendency, and the music was the fossil record of that exuberance, illustrated brilliantly in this masterful performance. Better funded reactionary forces put an end to all that, and the light has been underground ever since. I saw Frank and the Mothers of Invention perform in Charlotte, at a fairly small venue, in the '70s, where you could practically grab their pant legs from the edge of the stage. A decade later, while giving a visiting friend from Charlotte a tour of Boston, where I was living and reading, we stumbled into Frank in a hotel lobby near the Saks Fifth Avenue, and I started up a conversation with him by asking about certain German lyrics in a song from Joe Garage II, which was deep enough to show that i was a serious fan. Fellow Capricorn, wtf. You seem Cappy. But speaking of which, Joe's Garage II has some great tunes on it, although most are NSFW. Anyways, thanks for the memories and song. More Franks!
This dude was a freaking genius. Everything he does is awesome.
Saw Frank in 1971 in Boston the later in the 70s. Frank was a real Virtuoso! A master composer and one HELL of a guitar player. Thanks bro!❤😉👏👏
Zappa was a musical genius! Check out his appearance on the Steve Allen Show playing a bicycle with a violin bow.
The Mothers of Invention (Mr. Zappa's band) is a pretty impressive bullet on the resume of any musician. Be sure to check out San Ber'dino.
This video is made even more impressive by the presence of the other artists in it.
Plese check out everything but Inca roads will blow your mind but Frank has the most gratifying library you will ever hear. He truly is the king!!
Yes he said George duke, but also named a bunch a elite musician who all competed to join his band! He is the greatest musician (in all components) of the 20th century, just a genius in human form!!!
Zappa is a true musical genius.There is absolutely no one like him. He was so prolific that your journey is guaranteed to be a long one. THE BEST BAND YOU NEVER HEARD IN YOUR LIFE is a excellent sampler of live performances. HOT RATS & OVERNIGHT SENSATION are personal favourites from his discography of exceptional work.
AND NOW YOU KNOW,,, That was Sweden 1973 . I saw this same band in San Diego Aug 1974. BEYOND Incredible
Been a fan for over 50 years now. Frank’s music never, ever gets old!! Saw him a few times in concert also 🎶
FRANK ZAPPA best artist 🎨 ever
Watermelon in Easter hay is a great instrumental piece. One of my favorites of FZ.
I am a BIG,BIG Frank fan...I saw him a few times in the early 1970's...I am sure by now to have discovered his vast body of work...I enjoyed your show. rock on my friend.
This line up may be the greatest of Frank's illustrious career, if fact it may be the greatest of the rock era. Everyone on the stage is a virtuoso.
When you're listening to Zappa's music for the first time, you never know what you're gonna get. But it's always interesting and he always surrounds himself with some of the best musicians on the planet.
Glad you've discovered him and that you appreciate his and the bands talent. 👍👍👋
Cosmic Debris is the middle of the story! You need to start from the beginning!
none other than George Duke on keys....and Jean-Luc Ponty on violin ! !
Check out Willy the pimp by frank
The Musical Genius of FRANK ZAPPA.... The Albums "Overnite Sensation" and "Apostrophe" are my favorites and I'd also add "One Size fits all" These are required listening to all "AIR CONDITIONERS" of Frank Zappa's music....Hearing these albums can not fail to increase your musical appreciation
One of my fave zappa songs. Groovy and bluesy. Superb
Jean Luc Ponty on violin, George Duke on keyboards, Ian Underwood on bass clarinet, Ruth Underwood on xylophone…. Check out the album One Size Fits All song Inca Roads!! Enjoy the musical journey!!
The 'Cosmic Debris' song, was recorded at Ike Willis's studio. If you check out the 'Overnight Sensations' version of this song, you'll hear Tina Turner and the Ikettes singing backup.
It is George Duke on keys and I think Jean Luc Ponti on violin. You had to be at least awesome to play with Frank. Frank generated a whole generation of musicians that went forth.
Also, you absolutely need to see something live with Frank's percussionist Ruth Underwood.
Yup!! Correct on both of them. Frank is no slouch on guitar. He never got the kudos he deserved - always came up in conversation as the wild man of stage performances.
Shit ugly zappa died like a miserable bum at the end 🤣
Zappa was last shit
Saw him twice, amazed that each musician had multiple instruments around them...and used all during the concert...pure talent..if new to Zappa....try "Strictly Commercial " CD for the closest to mainstream that he ever got.
I liked that, 'before i was a fan. now i'm an airconditioner' line haha
Check: Don't eat the yellow snow
So glad you picked this song
