lots to like there. awesome!

"Is that a real poncho, or is that a Sears poncho?"

Zappa!

That was awful. Singers should be able to sing.

syrynxx: That was awful. Singers should be able to sing.

Thanks- funniest comment I've read all year.


/stick to songs life on 4/4 time and you'll be ok.

Bless you, Subby.

(My neighbors, however, will soon hate you, since I'm now going to play Over-Nite Sensation and Apostrophe back to back at full volume.)

God, do I feel old. This shouldn't feel like yesterday.

thanks for reminding me of the passing of time, and THIS.

good find zappamitter.

1:37, got your nose!

I got "Over-Nite Sensation and Apostrophe" when it was issued on one CD for the same price as one.

syrynxx: That was awful. Singers should be able to sing.

And hiding that sloppy guitar playing behind all that distortion, for shame. Seriously.

/how's my trolling?

That's not like a Sears Poncho is it?

You might be interested in this page (new window) -- about the different versions.

I also have the dual album version.

I also got in on the 30 cassettes for 90$ deal they had on the zappa.com back in the last century.

I bought a good tape deck and transferred each to CD -- which is a substantial amount of Zappa's catalog -- and they all sound great.

Wow. Good one! Never heard a live camarillo brillo. ..and one with Adrian Belew.

DarnoKonrad........I got both of the records when they first came out. I still have them, but I haven't had my turntable hooked up for years, so I can't hear what the differences are between the LP's and CD's.

I first saw that Apostrophe' was released while reading "High Times" magazine. The good old days!!

Not my favorate performance of the song (too fast) but really cool to see a performer able to share with the audience. He was taken way too young, he is missed.

Ah, memories. I bought Bongo Fury on a whim and it was Muffin Man that hooked me on Zappa. Also, I got to shake his hand during an encore like in the video.

+Infinity, subby.

Yes, you should be diggin' it while it's happening.

/Obscure enough for ya?

Yep!

At the end of my life, my memories of 15 Zappa shows and several conversations with Frank will comfort me in my passing.

FZ, We need you now more than ever!!!

Shirtless and in the crowd, just like Iggy.

My, what shredding. Frank spanked young Adrian Belew.

I saw Zappa in London in the 80s. He had a mug of coffee on a little table to swig from during the performance.

Everyone stood up and cheered when they came onstage, but Frank wouldn't start playing until everyone sat down again. "Hey, you'll be more comfortable that way."

Holy Cow! How old is this video?

Look at the frame at around 1:17... He makes a "devil horn" sign...

I wonder if this pre-dates Gene Simmons?

THIS
is the performanance that got me intrested in zappa :)
+69 subby wooooo!!!

so, anyone have a clue as to what the song is about?

Anyone notice how the world and society went to crap after his passing? He was a Gawd! This weird man misses him deeply.

/ ty subby, ty.

Goddamn it, why did you have to leave us?

/you magnificent bastard!

GT_Frog: Holy Cow! How old is this video?

Filmed Halloween '77. This clip is taken from the Baby Snakes DVD, which is excellent.

This was Frank's best band.

Theres a Microbrewer in Cali that is making a special limited time brew for each zappa album. They are on cruisin with ruben and the jets. Unfortunately that was the first one I heard about. I need to get the others.

I enjoy that song sooo much,

1st time I heard it I was 9 and my step-dad was playing the record. Great freakin record.

"I am gross and perverted, I am obsessed and deranged, I have existed for years but very little has changed"

Another of my favs.

If you haven't yet, read The Real Frank Zappa Book. It's the exact opposite of a waste of time.

awesome

+eleventy-billion to subby

Thanks subby! Just watched the ZPZ DVD set this weekend and spent a lot of time realizing how much I missed having Frank out there shaking up the world. Saw him on the '88 tour -- incredible.

Lord Snoopy's G.P.E.H.: If you haven't yet, read The Real Frank Zappa Book. It's the exact opposite of a waste of time.

Yes! It's definitely a great read.

Joey Psychotic approves.

not sure why it says 1979, it's 1977, but check out the Baby Snakes dvd for more of this FZ goodness

Ahhh...it's always refreshing to a see some Uncle Frankie first thing in the morning. He was a genius who was taken from the world all too soon. RIP F.Z.
