Frank Zappa - Black Napkins 1976-10-24 Live in Boston

[@martinglicher9645]

Frank was in the zone. He endured growing up in Lancaster in the 50s (then a one-horse town), he was thrown off stage and seriously injured at The Rainbow in '71, and in 1990 was diagnosed with terminal prostate cancer. Despite all this, he left us with such magical, timeless music and an incomparable sense of humor - thank you FZ.

[@2011LittleWing]

Great words!

[@RobertHerring-wn3ml]

But he went for yrs undiagnosed. Different doctors and he said he suffered with it. He never stopped trying to tie up loose ends. What he had planned for us went with him. But we have much to watch and listen to.

the 20th century greatest composer and guitar player

[@keithcarpenter5254]

Most influential, overlooked, most prolific, genre busting, insightful, brilliant.....music is the best. 😊

[@LForehand]

Couldn't agree more. I see so many detractors these days that talk about immature lyrics etc. As if that's all there is to his music. It's part of the beauty of it all. Never taking anything too seriously, but the music delivers so much raw emotional playing. Incredible diversity packed into one performance. It doesn't get any better.

[@nathanburget]

Genius-{Frank Zappa}, franks music touches every part of my soul. i have been Zappaed, and i thank universal truth 4 that.

[@totonto]

Couldn't agree more. 67, with cancer. So, finished.

[@4449John]

This just takes me to an amazing place, a place with no troubles. Too bad its only temporary.

[@artrock5741]

21-year-old Eddie Jobson on violin (and Hammond); just inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame (2019). The first rock violinist.

[@anthonymac2174]

Eddie Jobson was great with UK and Fripp

[@remisolal5155]

WITH JEAN LUC PONTY TOO !

[@musicprofessor1]

@@remisolal5155 What's Ponty got to do with Jobson and the RRHOF? (Nothing.)

[@michaelklein6967]

This is one of my all time favorite live recordings, period. And I collect live music. All three solos - voice, violin, and guitar are just sublime... this is as good as it gets. Happy Birthday, Zappa would've been 75 today.

Frankus Goodus Zappus!!!!!!!

[@lethargoras4438]

@michaelklein6967 I know it's 8 years ago.. I'm just listening to this and I'm amazed, too. I only knew a shorter version of this one with only the violon and guitar solo in the middle - that was already one of my favorit versions aswell, but I didn't know about this complete version here. Great find! Recently I found another very nice version with trumpet, sax, violon and guitar - you should check it out aswell. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKfGq4Ocf5iJf7M

[@jimleboeuf7685]

I think this is one of the most existential songs of this time

[@matasafiuz7856]

Is this photo taken in Vilnius, Lithuania? The very first Zappa monument in the world. Opened by fans in 1995!

[@chrisbelanger9021]

Great song, didn't matter what drug we were on or stone cold sober. The car audio & home hi fi were at its peak in the 70's. Always wandered why Frank insisted on playing this one live with his back to the crowd?

[@LForehand]

He didn't. There's plenty of videos available right here on KZbin where he plays this facing the crowd. I've been studying Zappa for 30 years now, and I've never seen Frank play a solo with his back to the audience. The only time Frank turns his back to the audience is when he's conducting/giving cues to the band.

[@jmsbk12345]

Great, 2nd best version after Philly '76 version.

[@krsna1961]

My sentiments too..great stuff

[@LForehand]

This version is so much better than the Philly performance. The entire show is better.

[@coreybakerteachingstudio8858]

Fav version of Black Napkins; beats the Philly '76 release.

[@planetmusic11]

I dont think so, Philly 76 is the best live Black Napkins version

[@LForehand]

These people are smoking crack. The Boston show is so much better than the Philly show. Frank was absolutely on fire, as was the rest of the band. The Philly show doesn't even come close.

[@planetmusic11]

Great version but Philly 76 is the best live Black Napkins version For Ever

[@dirigiblegraff2519]

Maybe the best version is from Zappa in New York, Deluxe bonus. 28 minuts of art

[@angeloraim]

Le servirete noir, live in Paris, for me! 👋🏻🍀

[@artrock5741]

All feature Eddie Jobson on violin, but I agree with Dirigible that the 28-min version on Deluxe Zappa in New York is incredible, with Jobson, Zappa, and Brecker Bros.
