Frank Zappa Halloween 77: The 30-31/10 Guitar Solos

[@richardchorley1593]

Zappa is my favourite electric guitar player . His playing is endlessly original and moves me emotionally , unlike so many theoretically superior players

[@rjh1226]

Yes in the top 10 greatest

[@curt0571]

[@John_13_35]

Not too many players could solo like that and maintain thematic continuity as well. His musical knowledge helped to make his guitar work so utterly unique

[@stephenwhorton4942]

Zappa spoke through his guitar. His phrasing is what is coming out of his mind at the moment. Coffee and Winston cigarettes. Thank you for posting his performances

[@tonyedwards4067]

the more you listen to Zappa over the years, the more you'll be surprised, confounded, and mind blown by his unique artistry...

[@duster71]

50 years,35 concerts and amazed everytime I listen,being a guitarist really helps understand how different he was then anyone else,almost no solo us like any other one he played,he always changed the songs tempo or style,his solos were magic carpet rides.

[@robertkenney3456]

I heard him in the 60s. Kick butt Zappa. Let's ROCK ON FOREVER!

[@matthewpardo8379]

First time hearing this, I guess, no air play on radio, sounds New Orleanish, jazzy, horns, bells, very relaxing at times

[@jangelbrich7056]

Sometimes I LOVE the recommendations algorithm of KZbin =)

[@josephvonbulow1164]

Hell yeah brother 💪🤘🤘🍻

[@traditionaltemple]

Terrific to hear. I was at the Halloween 10/31 night show, second row one seat left of center with a good friend. This was perhaps the most amazing concert I had and have ever scene. It was great to see Roy Estrada in the space suit...My friend and I stayed completely straight even though booze and weed was being passed around freely. We didn't want to forget a second of this what with being so close to "the action". One part I will never forget was during an extended solo, FZ walked slowly from one side of the stage to the other stopping for a few second each step to stare into the eyes of an audience member. When he looked at me, I stared right back. It was a profound moment. I was fortunate enough to have seen FZ many times, but this particular show was my favorite. He remains one of my favorite musicians and a continued influence on me as a musician and guitarist. Inspirational.

[@richardfinney3179]

You are inlitened with the true genius of Frank Zappa we are very lucky to have herd and seen this great man so pass it on tell people to go see Zappa on Zappa if they have a chance and they will be inlitened also to this pure genius peace bro and fellow musican I'm in Lynnwood Washington I'm a vocalist and drummer peace

[@supervidere7]

This man, he is possessed, but by a multitude of abilities character traits and ambitions. Mysteriously powered by an yet to be determined energy source.

[@Robert-qn7bs]

Up here in Oregon on the back patio with the dogs listening to FZ... It's dark fires are going and really enjoying this, love Frankie's guitar to the core... Always have

Discorer this Zap performance in a Cambodia pub with my headphone and a Angkor beer is a real pleasure !

[@grandwazooX]

This is brilliant - wonderful to listen to, thank you for sharing. Zappa was a genius, truely unique, a man of taste and wit

[@scottbotvin8389]

Noone plays the guitar like Frank did...and I'm happy to say I'm old enough to have seen him play. Thanks for putting these together.

[@williamrichards3707]

Me too. Five Times!

[@monkeydaveYT]

When we learn how to go back in time, I will be at that concert

[@josephsantagata4400]

I love you man! I've been looking for all these solos all in one place. I was at every Zappa show when he came to NY in the 70's. The most underrated guitarist in history.

[@YogiMcCaw]

I was there at the grand old age of 17! Unforgettable shows!

[@omarcapaso7156]

Damn I’m that age now and i wish i were there

[@eddivel5954]

Me too yogi. But a night or 2 before at the Spectrum in Philly. Will never forget

[@baumimarawala1852]

From Mumbai with Love. With a little help from my friends (puffers)I was introduced to the music of Mr Frank Zappa. Fell in love at first hear. I was 17 year young then. I begged,borrowed Rearly found here Zappa music .It was only available with like minded buddies so recorded them on spools,cassettes and then cds and enjoyed them for many years till now. With fantastic channels like U Tube I listen to even many fabulous pieces today age 71 years young. If any Zappa fan comes to Mumbai I invite all to have puffs with me Blown.Good Luck. Happy listening and seeing Zappa on screen. My only regret in life is that I was not lucky to see him play Live with his paraphenlia. May be in afterlife. Fingers crossed Love and thanks to the down loaders.Good job you do not know how many freaks like me are blessinbg You. Thanks.

[@DanTheTimeMan]

No cries is heard in the night as a result of him STUFFIN! Love these solos!

[@kozuchiosu9603]

WHHOAH!!! To be played simply loud!

[@johnnypingsmusic]

This never gets old

[@paulmartin7381]

These solos were playing and the lady, from whom I rent, came out to get something and I, sarcastically said, "I put this on for you." She replied, "that's not music, that's racket." It was said in the same tone as the lady in Joe's Garage..."Turn it down." I knew then how great it really is.

[@岩﨑誠司-v7h]

鬼に金棒、ザッパにＳＧカスタム！誰にも真似できないギターフレーズ素晴らしい？！

[@joachimMikalsen-y8g]

I have yet to hear anyone who can, I´m with you.

[@richardfinney3179]

Frank was the whole ancalota he played every kind of music and sometimes I one song and he made it sound good ,when I first listened to freak out in 66 I was hooked for life, great minds think alike ,now his son is carrying the torch and he's freaking great at it ,I went to a Dawezel Zappa on Zappa concert 12 years ago and I was elated but not constapated and it wasn't over rated in my mind it never faded it was like a dynamo hum love ya Frank Zappa Rip keep going dawezel don't let the music fade away the ledgon of Frank should be carried on for ever peace bros n sisters pray for ukraine

Thank you, thank you, thank you br1tag. This is why I went to see Frank every show every night he was in within 100 miles from me

[@ZappaorPri]

Upon discovering Zappa, I enjoy listening to his solos far more than Hendrix's live stuff. Hendrix redefined lead guitar in a way Zappa certainly did not, and no one else has uncorked a solo like "Voodoo Chile." But I can listen to Zappa's solos for hours and hours. Prince is the only other lead guitarist I enjoy listening to as much or more.

[@FreeBrunoPowroznik]

You not listened to John Schofield, Pat Martino, John Mclaughlin or Alan Holdsworth?

I have been a zappa fan since the 70s. Had the privilage to see several shows. New York City the Paladium halloween! What a show, not just a concert a freakin SHOW!!!! You just gotta know hes in a good place. After what he gave us he more than deserves it. Thanks Mr Zappa, your the s#!t perioud

[@duster71]

There wasn't a Halloween run show I wasn't at,from 74 on,the Pier,the Ritz,3 of the 4 Christmas shows,Port Chester NY,New Haven CT in 75,the Beacon NYC 88.The best was when I was 3rd row standing right in front of Frank at the Ritz.

[@ethericlimerick2992]

Frank was always amazing but these are superlative! Steve Vai had mentioned Franks playing on these occasions as being outstanding in an interview I listened to. Then I was fortunate enough to stumble on this... Thank you Sir for your efforts!

[@ZOGGYDOGGY]

Halloween, Chicago, 1977. I was there with friends and lovers.

[@brianirving814]

Nice work friend, just found this, Frank o' phile forever, his favourite tool the Gibson SG, yet virtuoso on any other. For effect, tone, and all the other nuances of a master player, just always beautiful to hear him, ....

[@br1tag]

@Brian Irving - I think FZ would have had good results even with a toy guitar in hand! 😊

[@brianirving814]

For sure, he would grip and extract best sound from any instrument, especially for his orchestral pieces, massive and diverse, uncle meat etc?

[@Abdorabbihi]

FZ is still my ever favorite guitarist since i found out his unique talent 40 years ago. I'm 58

[@brianirving814]

Likewise, I got Frank early, 16, am soon 68, massive beautiful gigs, albums, mythology, directly from my heart to you, Jean Luc, evocative and beautiful,

[@richardallen4992]

Me too. I'm 55 but at 16 the solo in Yo Mama did it for me but Apostrophe was my introduction to Zappa and I've loved his music since. So grateful I was able to experience a live show in Boston in 1984. Memorable, Amazing! Thanks for sharing this!!!

[@richardmmason]

Thanks again so much, br1tag. The very nature of your posts renders them unique and unmissable. This is perhaps the best of all of yours I've listened to thus far. I was a fan of FZ's guitar playing before I knew why (& before I understood his music anything like as much as I do now, i.e. a little bit); ever since I first heard "Hot rats" aged 12, I've loved his playing. His rhythmic approach, melodic sensibility, tone and attack are without parallel. I shall certainly invest in the Halloween box as soon as I'm able. Wooooooo! Scary!

These were such excellent parts of the show that I began to routinely scream out at Frank. ''Shut up and play the guitar.'' Guess he heard us.

[@QuatuorArkel]

I always wondered if this sentence "Shut up 'n play yer guitar" was ordered to Zappa from a journalist or from audience members... Thanks for the information!!
