This is from 1969. In 1981, 12 years later, I played it for a friend who knew nothing about it. He asked, "Is this New Wave?" Well, for a tune to be 12 years old, from the 60s, and to be considered New Wave is a testament to how far ahead of his time Frank Zappa was.

This song is Frank's celebration of life and music! So refreshing, so unique, so Zappa!

That WAS fantastic. I know I’ve heard this many years ago. Good to hear it again. Love him or hate him, the man was a musical savant. That was Prog, mixed with jazz mixed with carnival music mixed with classical mixed with I don’t know what the hell else! But it was good and so were your comments. Thanks for returning to Frank Zappa Michael. 🔥

Instead of talking about what he's done, it's better to talk about what he hasn't done, for he has left few genres untouched. During his forty-year career, he released 62 albums, but posthumously, he's released even more, 64. He died and left a humongous vault of music. His family has been releasing recordings and will probably do so until the last family member dies. He was one of the most diverse and prolific composers of our time. Simply singular. Arf! Arf!

He used one of the first 16-track recording machines, hence the multiple layers of overdubs. Always on the forefront of technology. Great reaction!

FZ was an innovator in many way, including the use of recording technology. Here, taking full advantage of the newly available 16-track recording equipment. Later, on the cutting edge of the digital recording revolution. Keep exploring!

There were puzzle pieces that we thought wouldn’t really fit together. Frank Zappa came along, and showed us how. It turns out to be a nice picture of a very fancy bowl of peaches.

very satisfying reaction. On that album one of the highlights. I think it was one of the first 16 tracks recorders, amd also one of the first jazz fusion albums )( rel. oct 69)

Hot Rats is my favorite album of all time, it feels like a fresh breeze everytime I listen to it, even though this from 1968.. Please also check Willie the Pimp from the same album, its 8 minutes long raw guitar violence with some captain Beefheart magic included. Cheers from Amsterdam

Frank made 62 albums. They say YES had a lot of band member changes. Got to see two of the 62.

Peaches and regalia used to start or end a concert. My first concert was in 73 (outdoor Stockholm, Soliden - its on YT) The whole concert was taped for Swedish TV; i.e. they taped about an hour and then put of the cameras - but the Mothers continued to play. We had to leave before they eventually ended, but we could hear them play for quite a while when we walked away. I think they ended with Peaches. Anyone else at that concert who knows for sure?

Great pick, a Zappa classic, part of my life. For more FZ I'd recommend the title track on Waka/Jawaka, or title track on Grand Wazoo or Blessed Relief on the same album, or Water Melon In Easter Hay on Joe's Garage or finally Pink(!) Napkins on Shut Up 'n Play Yer Guitar. But to be honest, there is nearly not a single soso lala in his entire work. Cheers!
