Wow. I was just cleaning my laptop of larger files and I came across the same video. When I found it I thought "hey, I should post this to YouTube". Too late. I have no idea where I got it. Probably from one of my hippie drug addict friends.

It's from the album The Best Band You Never Heard In Your Life

Get it. The cover of Purple Haze is amazing also.

Yes. "...Best Band You Never Heard..." is awesome.

Haven't watched this video all the way through, but there should be a kickass Pagey guitar solo arranged for horns. Killin'.

Except on Best Band, he does it as reggae. This is more of a straight cover by comparison. Still brill.

Beautiful rendition of a crappy trite song. Funny and amusing. Zappa was the king for doing this. Too bad page couldn't stay off the dope long enough to be the guitarist FZ was.

"To be a rock and not to roll"

Deepest phrase in all of rock music?

You decide.

Kyosuke - If your a Zappa fan, that album is a must have. Zappa said he thought that was the best band he ever put together, but everyone hated the bass player. The rest of the band wanted him fired, but instead of listening them, Frank fired everyone after only a couple shows. He was a control freak and no one was going to tell him who was playing in his band. I heard he only picked up his guitar a couple more times after this tour.

/Zappa plays Zappa coming soon.
//Love the Zappa links, but wasn't this posted about a month ago? I submitted Watermelon in Easter hay, but was shot down by the Fark god's.

Yeah, they just announced dates a couple weeks ago for '07.

I saw the show in Philly and the sound could have been better. Then I saw them a couple months later in A.C. and it was much better, so maybe they got it figured out by then. Anyway, they were both great shows.

/Good to hear Frank's music live again.
