Now now. That's like saying a coin is either heads or tails. It's both, man! Both opposites at the exact same time! It's, like, only your own eyes which decide which side you see.
This is totally cool! My favorite part: about at 4:30 Gilmour kind of stops his accompaniment and kneels down, probably to mess with his amp. At that point Nick Mason turns to Zappa and says, “Feel free, Frank,” and Zappa comes in with his solo.
@Douglas Farnsworth Of course I deleted it, you soy boy beta male bitch. Why would I leave an incorrect fact on here? I said I made a mistake, you brought it to my attention in the most asshole of ways, we all thank you, it's deleted. Your the only one who can't get over it. It's all good, dude.... move on
Well they where not, because their work they did was really work. The worked very concentrated on every detail of their music. You can't do that under massive influence of drugs. That does not mean they don't use drugs as well, to be creative sometimes. It's like if you like to drink a glass of wine or two, or smoke a joint on a party, to be a bit more relaxed and feel good, but not on work. Or if you destroy your life by drinking every day and be drunk or stoned at 10:00am. Like a Jimi Hendrix, a Janis Joplin a Eddie van Halen or many others.
Nope, he's VERY uncomfortable: the PF dudes are totally stoned and it's very difficult to get what key is used as there is none.... Moreover, Frank is definitively not the kind to use a Tely and a Selmer amp.
I've been wondering for 48 years whether Frank Zappa ever played with Pink Floyd. I had heard that they played together at the Actuel Festival in Belgium in 1969 and heard the audio but never saw video. This is more exciting than finding life on another planet.
i am not quite as impressed as hearing him perform with yoko ono.. but certainly pretty amazing to actually see film footage of these music icons together..
@@BatmanAoD before being opposed to something as common as it was in 69, may be you had to experience it to condemn it ? Or may be he just said he never used drugs like he said he never played with Floyd ahah
Most musicians didn't use LSD when performing. Pink Floyd were always very professional. They look pretty straight to me. Where's the uncontrollable laughter, and rolling around on the floor? Have you ever tripped? I think perhaps some members of the audience may have been, ahem, a little affected.
The problem here was Zappa’s jamming genius is best played within certain musical note relationships and melodic riffing, while Pink Floyd’s early psychedelic trip jamming was a lot of acid inspired impressionistic noise art. Zappa probably didn’t trip so he was limited with what he could do to relate although he still does fine it’s interesting to see him out of his element a little.
Look at Zappa's expression on 3:27... he is taking it all in. Listening, calculating, enjoying, totally in the moment and yet, there is a trace of "I don't belong here". Zappa was one of a kind.
Knowing Zappa’s musical proclivities as well as I do, I am certain that he found himself horrified to be jamming on a one chord song with a bunch of pretentious British art school wankers with a very limited bassist and drummer (and I love pre DSOTM Pink Floyd). This is a type of music that Zappa would have mercilessly lambasted in a composition. Zappa enjoyed complex, structured songs with strange time signatures and jazz chord voicing, backed by virtuosic sidemen. Frank Zappa was a legendarily proficient polymath on guitar, and the lame, half-hearted fretting that he shows with this performance betrays his state of mind.
Gerry Berry . Actually, with the exception of the long-gone Syd Barrett, Pink Floyd members were known to avoid drugs almost entirely, just like Zappa. They certainly supplied the music for millions of trips and other drug experiences in fans, however.
Interesting to Zappa when he's not the leader... rather than having that smug look of determination, he's really listening and absorbing things like a true professional.
@@j.dragon651 You don’t really see people give him much credit. Can’t really say he’s overrated when he doesn’t seem to get that much attention at all lol
Gotta love how Frank solved this dilemma, by first taking the time to consider how best to approach this deep entrenchment of chaos, blend in, and make a meaningful contribution for posterity, as well...
Well...this will not go down as the brightest moments in both PF or zappas musical history...., but what the heck..., its a jam....and a piece of history
Zappa is the most underrated guitarist of all time imo. I remember the first time I heard Zombie Woof and felt like his guitar broke reality during the solo
Ween Fain - I get what you're saying, as I've seen Frank left off lists he certainly should've been on, or higher on the list. My opinion of Zappa is that not only was he a guitar wizard, he was also a certifiable "musical genius". Most people who "think" they know music will list Hendrix (of course), Clapton, Jeff Beck (if they're smart) then list guitarists like Slash, Angus Young, Joe Perry, etc. because of name recognition. Of course Slash, Angus, Perry, etc, are great guitarists, but most people who AREN'T guitarists or in the industry don't automatically think of people like Zappa, Knopfler, Gary Moore, Frampton, Gilmour, Buckingham, etc. (just to name a few) when thinking of "Greatest Guitarists", when indeed they are. For instance, Bowie thought enough of Frampton to have him as the guitarist for his "Glass Spider" tour, which says a lot, not to mention his work with Humble Pie and his solo stuff. Just ignorant people, that's all. And yeah, Pink Floyd was waaaay high at that gig. LOL!
I love Pink Floyd, and Zappa. You can totally tell that Frank is on a completely different level musically. Just by the look on his face he's just waiting for something to happen.
@@noeljohnson868 I always just love watching the looks of people who were there at shows like that. It truly must have been like someone had come from another world. And he did.

Cool to see them play together but if you ask me it sounds like an orchestra warming up before a concert or like the soundtrack to some scary sci fi movie or something.
My first thought was : "I was not ready". And then I understood it's not about being ready or not. If you think about that, we're NEVER ready. Our will must be nomadic. Everything is changing. We are living multiple metamorphosises. & we must adapt. we must overcome all ordeals in order to survive... I am not ready, but I'm a bloody bouncing ball, that for sure. Thank you, enjoy life.
That's the way of it. You're not out there looking for something you've lost, because how could you have lost something in a place you've never been before? But you're out there all the same, open to being changed in ways you can't predict, ready to be unready for whatever crashes into you.
Frank was a genius. Frank was very oppionated. Frank admitted that cigarette addiction was a personal failure. If you are going to be critical of the failures of others at least recognize your own faults. Frank did recognize his own faults. It's a shame he didn't live long enough to get the help he needed to overcome the addiction of tobacco
That opening clip with Roger Waters he looks like he's on some heavy trip or coke. Nick is sweating buckets, his hair is a wet mat, while Rick Wright's hair looks perfect. At least Roger and Nick look to be on something pretty strong.

I think this is the infamous green weenie Belgium concert in a tent in a turnip field festival Frank mentioned several times in interviews. He omits this part though.
To the newborns,...you see,...there was this thing,...called jamming. It is the sonic primordial broth, from which everything that you know today, came to be. Rehoned thru the cro-magnon bone smashing eons, an incipient prehistorative reperotoire, regressed into all time and space, regurgitated and then reborn,..it evolves into the good shit eventually, relatively speaking. I assure you.....
Debió ser épico ver a una de las más grandes mentes musicales de la segunda mitad del siglo XX compartir escenario con la banda que un par de años después se convertiría en un enorme paso a la evolución musical de la humanidad. Creo que con lo único que puedo compararlo es cuando Bruce Lee compartió cámaras con Chuck Norris
How cool is this! Zappa and Gilmour, 2 of the best ever, jamming on stage together! Talk about finding a buried treasure!! Before you know it, another video will be found having Jimi Hendrix jumping on stage to jam with these guys!
I live just near Amougies, the village where this concert took place. This festival no longer exists but, funny thing, I did my first gig at the same place where my favourite bands of all time played 🤩
@@TorilAzzalini-Machecler Zappa gave Vai his break, Vai got Satriani a contract. It's all part of the progression. Zappa had an imagination like no other and passed it on down the line
So in 63 Zappa was on the late show playing bicycle, and then a couple of years later Floyd writesca song "Ive got a bike, a lovely bike, its git a basket and bells and rings and things that make it look good..." oh now i get it.
August 2018 driving across the USA on I-40 and picked up a hitch hiker at the Oklahoma/Arkansas border and the dude hops up into my cab as my Pandora starts playing Frank Zappa. My new friend Jerry was blown away. "I haven't heard Frank Zappa in 30 years", I felt like he'd probably been having a jones for Zappa, so, I turned up the radio for him. I told him, "Hey man, its your lucky day!" He was pretty stoked.
Amougies 1969 (Belgium), I was there and amazed about the fight between those two legends. If I remember well (I was 15 years old), Martin Circus (french group) and Chicago Transit Authority were also performing there. I forgot others who are major as well. One of the first big music festivals on the continent.
Interstellar Overdrive was the signature "jam" piece of the early PINK FLOYD. I have religiously gone thru as many boot and authorized recordings of their concerts from 69 to 73 and I can confidently say that no two performances of it were ever the same and ALL were fascinating. Frank Zappa's contribution here is an interesting raga style approach which was very in vogue at the time. Gilmour however makes more of a free form "saucer full of secrets" contribution rather than his usual rhythm experiment that was staple to most (but not all) of his INTERSTELLAR jams. This is truly a crazy diamond in the rough.. The "drugs" that produced this type of music have long been "out of print". No 21st century rock band could hope to do or comprehend this stuff in our present formula and producer CONTROLLED music "industry". Sabby?
I hear the common current drek and want to hurl--- Autotune, loops, no raw energy ... You're absolutely right--- the blueprints for these are most definitely Out. Of. Print.
What is super funny to you is something super fantastic! Its sad you will never know how many keys an instrument can be tuned to. Close your eyes, empty your clogged up head, kick back and let the sounds absorb into you. Then and only then you will acknowledge how many keys there really are.
Very interesting to hear frank zappa adding his flavor to the Pink Floyd sound. Syd Barrett was already out of the band at this point. Crazy to think of zappa replacing syd. Wow, what a different band Floyd would of been.

They were somewhere completely alien, so it looks frightening, but let me assure you: They were feeling great, like an unexplainable soul orgasm
:) Getting way into it :)
Frank had to be amazed with what those guys came up with a few years later...because this was just crazy.
Doubt it honestly
If by "crazy" you mean unimpressive, I'm with ya.
@michaeldavid6284 Agreed, and I'm a huge Floyd fan. The early stuff was hit or miss. But clearly something clicked after 1970.

this might just be the most underrated comment i've ever seen, I laughed for 3 minutes straight; thank you sir.
Wow. I have to agree. A genius comment that gave me a great laugh. Thank you.
Muchas muchas gracias!!
Psicodelia pura...
So true!
Tego vuenos temas
I think they under estimated the dose they took before the show
lol
LSD is on Nick Mason.
LOL
lmfao!!

Yep
Drugs has done some good things for us.
I love how Frank remembers this as having jammed with some jazz band. A testament to how he really wasn't tuned into modern music hahaha
greatest compliment pink floyd has ever received lol
@@oscarbrittingham-detxemend396yes because they were blues
We didn’t call it acid rock for nothing. I love Zappa. RIP. This is such a treat. Pink Floyd with Zappa.
Nick was getting into it there! A much underrated drummer.
I beg to differ, a much over rated drummer
Masons tripping BALLS!! 👏
@@j.dragon651 You don’t really see people give him much credit. Can’t really say he’s overrated when he doesn’t seem to get that much attention at all lol
He plays drums the way Neil Young plays guitar. Primitive, but very expressive and instantly recognizable.

"That guy above is an obvious closeted Boomer, but I'm a commenter who is definitely not a Gen X'er, and I'm only four."
And you write surprisingly well, for your age.
Gotta love how Frank solved this dilemma, by first taking the time to consider how best to approach this deep entrenchment of chaos, blend in, and make a meaningful contribution for posterity, as well...
Well...this will not go down as the brightest moments in both PF or zappas musical history...., but what the heck..., its a jam....and a piece of history
Agreed. That's about as much as you can say for it.
Everyones face is screaming "KEEP IT TOGETHER. KEEP IT TOGETHER"
I think the only one NOT trippin' was Frank. LOL!!! That's Frank! No drugs necessary!!!!
Dont be thick in front of me, Al.
@Dirk Diggler bollocks. Look at their eyes. Esp Nick Mason
its all got it own groove. eithewr you dig on it or you dont.
and if u dont, go to a different place where u like the stuff
no sense of knocking what u dont/cant/never will/never want to enjoy.
Zappa is the most underrated guitarist of all time imo. I remember the first time I heard Zombie Woof and felt like his guitar broke reality during the solo
"Underated"! He's often sited as one of the most influential guitarists of all time! Have you been living on another planet ?
I concur w/the broken reality
Where did you get that Zappa is underrated? He's a perrenial favorite on best guitarists lists. Everyone rates him as one of the best.
Ween Fain - I get what you're saying, as I've seen Frank left off lists he certainly should've been on, or higher on the list. My opinion of Zappa is that not only was he a guitar wizard, he was also a certifiable "musical genius". Most people who "think" they know music will list Hendrix (of course), Clapton, Jeff Beck (if they're smart) then list guitarists like Slash, Angus Young, Joe Perry, etc. because of name recognition. Of course Slash, Angus, Perry, etc, are great guitarists, but most people who AREN'T guitarists or in the industry don't automatically think of people like Zappa, Knopfler, Gary Moore, Frampton, Gilmour, Buckingham, etc. (just to name a few) when thinking of "Greatest Guitarists", when indeed they are. For instance, Bowie thought enough of Frampton to have him as the guitarist for his "Glass Spider" tour, which says a lot, not to mention his work with Humble Pie and his solo stuff. Just ignorant people, that's all. And yeah, Pink Floyd was waaaay high at that gig. LOL!
Zappa was *always* rated highly among the rock press and rock fans generally.
Nick is just a beast of a drummer even when he's high as hell!
yes he is playing some stuff i never thought he could do,,,he's faster than i thought
@@Noah-gq7pqHe's a really proficient jazz drummer, took me a long time to see that
he also looks like he could be Frank Zappa's brother!

Frank with a telecaster is now my favorite thing ever
This is the only time I've ever seen him play a Fender anything....
@@denniswillard7290, yep, it's hard to picture him without an SG.
Dennis Willard late 80s stuff has him playing what looks like a blonde stratocaster with a black pickguard, Floyd rose and three rail humbuckers
Where is the SG?
@@nikkter he was probably playing davids telecaster. When he joined pink floyd he had a telecaster and then quickly switched to the strat
Frank is the only lucid one on that stage... 🤣
I love Pink Floyd, and Zappa. You can totally tell that Frank is on a completely different level musically. Just by the look on his face he's just waiting for something to happen.
Ok, for the next one, I wanna see Jimi Hendrix with Jethro Tull.
You could check out the Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus. Not quite what you are looking for but it does have Jethro Tull with Tony Iommi.
Iain Hamilton Right on! Yeah, I've seen some performances from that, but never the whole thing. I've gotta check that out now.
I wanna see Jimi with Lulu...
@@noeljohnson868 I always just love watching the looks of people who were there at shows like that. It truly must have been like someone had come from another world. And he did.
I think it's awesome...and it's awesome we can still see it now, today...
This is what the 60s felt like. As far as I recall.
Remember if you can remember the sixties you did something wrong

U thought he said frank feel free but it looks like either haha
@@nathanielbrewster7238 Really hard to tell.
What’s amazing is that when you’re my age and looking back at how young they look...how young we were at the time...it’s almost incomprehensible. Wow man...time really does fly. But when you’re young...time seems like it is in slow motion.

I doubt Zappa was ever in a room in his entire life where he wasn't the most level headed person present.

@@garymac5571 lighten up guy, it was just a joke. He appeared to be a highly intelligent, talented guy, and sober as well. We all get to interpret him in our own subjective way just like you.
@@eltatoyo9211 I'm not your guy, friend.
A lot of comments about how Frank seemed out of place.....he was playing this type of Avant-Garde music well before this session with Floyd.
Going out on a limb here, but it looks as if that Mr. Waters is on a large dose of LSD...that man is seeing his own molecular structure and maybe a few elves...wow...balls de trip.
Cool to see them play together but if you ask me it sounds like an orchestra warming up before a concert or like the soundtrack to some scary sci fi movie or something.
My first thought was : "I was not ready". And then I understood it's not about being ready or not. If you think about that, we're NEVER ready. Our will must be nomadic. Everything is changing. We are living multiple metamorphosises. & we must adapt. we must overcome all ordeals in order to survive... I am not ready, but I'm a bloody bouncing ball, that for sure. Thank you, enjoy life.
Hey u got some more of wtf ever u were on?
I'm glad that I came her.
Ok, boomer
That's the way of it. You're not out there looking for something you've lost, because how could you have lost something in a place you've never been before? But you're out there all the same, open to being changed in ways you can't predict, ready to be unready for whatever crashes into you.
Frank was a genius. Frank was very oppionated. Frank admitted that cigarette addiction was a personal failure.
If you are going to be critical of the failures of others at least recognize your own faults.
Frank did recognize his own faults. It's a shame he didn't live long enough to get the help he needed to overcome the addiction of tobacco
That opening clip with Roger Waters he looks like he's on some heavy trip or coke. Nick is sweating buckets, his hair is a wet mat, while Rick Wright's hair looks perfect. At least Roger and Nick look to be on something pretty strong.
@@GR1338 agreed, some stages and especially ones where their lights haven't changed for 40+ years, those things get so insanely hot it's not even funny
That face Roger makes at the start of the video ...😁😁😁

Almost 15 years ago about 2004 until 2006 we have a band in iran and sound quality was like this that is about 50 years ago😂😂 thank you this channel is one of the best in youtube
Seeing this live would have been quite amazing.
I think this is the infamous green weenie Belgium concert in a tent in a turnip field festival Frank mentioned several times in interviews. He omits this part though.
To the newborns,...you see,...there was this thing,...called jamming.
It is the sonic primordial broth, from which everything that you know today, came to be.
Rehoned thru the cro-magnon bone smashing eons, an incipient prehistorative reperotoire, regressed into all time and space, regurgitated and then reborn,..it evolves into the good shit eventually, relatively speaking. I assure you.....
They will never understand......never
LMFAO! Great! Just Great!
Oh. There was also these amazing drugs everyone discovered....
Debió ser épico ver a una de las más grandes mentes musicales de la segunda mitad del siglo XX compartir escenario con la banda que un par de años después se convertiría en un enorme paso a la evolución musical de la humanidad. Creo que con lo único que puedo compararlo es cuando Bruce Lee compartió cámaras con Chuck Norris
The rarest of rare sights: Frank condescending to acknowledge another band's worthiness.
if at all
Oh I thought you said worthlessness.
Honestly Ummagumma and the early stuff - not that great.
How cool is this! Zappa and Gilmour, 2 of the best ever, jamming on stage together! Talk about finding a buried treasure!! Before you know it, another video will be found having Jimi Hendrix jumping on stage to jam with these guys!
I know this blows my mind away! 😂 Would have never thought Zappa and Floyd had collaborated together. Amazing!
i can literally feel the acid energy in this recording like i feel saturated just listening to it
Now if they could only take this trippy jam session and put in a pill I would take two..
May not survive but you'd die in style
LMAO 😂 best comment on here 🏆
David Gilmore's like "can't we just play Wish you were here?"
David Gilmore: “Hey, I wrote this so-“
Roger: “Yeah, yeah. Very good. Now, let’s play Interstellar Overdrive again.”
GILMOUR you fuckwit
@@swinetrek You're the fuckwit!

Wish You Were Here, released in 1975
I live just near Amougies, the village where this concert took place. This festival no longer exists but, funny thing, I did my first gig at the same place where my favourite bands of all time played 🤩
This is played in the key of faaaaaaaaaaar out. Only in the sixties could you witness such a mismeeting of lost minds.
This must've been one of the first show that they "forgot" to pick up Sid.
No, because this is from 1969 and Syd left the band in April 1968
hey buddy 2:34 :)
hyde that’s rick
syd had been locked up in a mental institution the year before
They picked up some sort of cid
plenty of dilated pupils here..
Michael Furia , haha
It's because they were looking at something they loved: Frank Zappa
@@TorilAzzalini-Machecler Zappa gave Vai his break, Vai got Satriani a contract. It's all part of the progression. Zappa had an imagination like no other and passed it on down the line
LSD was wonderful...
@@stevenricchezza2965 is wonderful
So in 63 Zappa was on the late show playing bicycle, and then a couple of years later Floyd writesca song "Ive got a bike, a lovely bike, its git a basket and bells and rings and things that make it look good..." oh now i get it.
Mason is high as hell
Omar Preciado they all are
Omar Preciado except Zappa,the only drugs he took were nicotine and caffeine.
I doubt it. Why would you say that simply because it's 1969? He never took drugs, do your homework.
his pupils are like saucers full of secrets.
Right. The last time he probably tripped was when he was doing the FREAK OUT album back in 1965.
August 2018 driving across the USA on I-40 and picked up a hitch hiker at the Oklahoma/Arkansas border and the dude hops up into my cab as my Pandora starts playing Frank Zappa. My new friend Jerry was blown away. "I haven't heard Frank Zappa in 30 years", I felt like he'd probably been having a jones for Zappa, so, I turned up the radio for him. I told him, "Hey man, its your lucky day!" He was pretty stoked.
I love when you find stuff like this on the internet, and it makes you question what planet you're on.
I didn't know this collaboration existed until now, but it's a dream come true.
Amougies 1969 (Belgium), I was there and amazed about the fight between those two legends. If I remember well (I was 15 years old), Martin Circus (french group) and Chicago Transit Authority were also performing there. I forgot others who are major as well.
One of the first big music festivals on the continent.
You are history
Gong!!!!
An epic moment in music history indeed.
Interstellar Overdrive was the signature "jam" piece of the early PINK FLOYD. I have religiously gone thru as many boot and authorized recordings of their concerts from 69 to 73 and I can confidently say that no two performances of it were ever the same and ALL were fascinating. Frank Zappa's contribution here is an interesting raga style approach which was very in vogue at the time. Gilmour however makes more of a free form "saucer full of secrets" contribution rather than his usual rhythm experiment that was staple to most (but not all) of his INTERSTELLAR jams. This is truly a crazy diamond in the rough.. The "drugs" that produced this type of music have long been "out of print". No 21st century rock band could hope to do or comprehend this stuff in our present formula and producer CONTROLLED music "industry". Sabby?
I hear the common current drek and want to hurl---
Autotune, loops, no raw energy ...
You're absolutely right--- the blueprints for these are most definitely Out. Of. Print.
There's a Saucerful of Doses in Nick's eyes!!
This is some beautiful footage lads!
After the gig, Nick asked Frank if he preferred his pie with crust.
Clever... I’ll take mine with a little volcanic mud pot, please...
You just made my day lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You're going to dance with a human being!!
omg this comment HAHA
It's funny how all the instruments are tuned to the key. Of "Q"?
What is super funny to you is something super fantastic! Its sad you will never know how many keys an instrument can be tuned to. Close your eyes, empty your clogged up head, kick back and let the sounds absorb into you. Then and only then you will acknowledge how many keys there really are.
@@mikesuder4082 meh
Very interesting to hear frank zappa adding his flavor to the Pink Floyd sound. Syd Barrett was already out of the band at this point. Crazy to think of zappa replacing syd. Wow, what a different band Floyd would of been. I think pf would of made more trippy "piper at the gates of dawn" type albums with frank (instead of David gilmour).but then we probably wouldn't have dark side of the moon
Interesting thoughts, Frank had a very inventive mind, and turned into a very crafty guitarist, haha ...good old Frank , Syd and Richard, R.I.P.
HDPinkFloyd watch Sex Pistols vs Pink floyd
Tim Ivers They would have been a funnier band, they wouldn't be so fucking depressing as the are sometimes
Would have been a great band. Pink Floyd for sure would have made jazz/rock fusion music had FZ been Sid's replacement. It would have been amazing.
It would have been ' Weird Side of the Moon '.
I love that Zappa and Pink Floyd could come together and create something as unique as this... I'm both awed and shocked at the same time.... 😮
I don’t think any of them remembered playing this concert.
If you remember the sixties,you were doing something wrong
