Frank Zappa & The Mothers - Room Service

[@the6ig6adwolf]

The best 8 minutes and 8 seconds on the entire internet.

[@PlainVidz]

Or, one can call it- Sophomoric.

[@DrTomoculus]

"Stop burning those beans" and Frank's laugh, are actually in time with the song. 1:10

[@SkyFlyerZayne]

this is one of the only times you can see frank zappa truly laugh! beautiful!

[@ziggyzappada4554]

Isn't great to see Frank so happy!

[@joaovictorrussoburton824]

+Ziggy Zappada (Frappanised) Does Humour belongs in music?

[@ziggyzappada4554]

Joao Victor Russo Burton Fuck yeah!

[@harpdoodle]

I think this is the happiest of times I ever saw Frank onstage....

[@MultiReptilian]

This is his best lineup after all..

[@petraweigert4850]

Glaube ich dir

[@inokpati]

what an amazing band ! napoleon murphy is the most quintessentiel black guy of the seventies ..zappa gathers the most perfect musicians and singers around him ! flawless!

[@petraweigert4850]

Frank einfach genial. Seit 1975 bin ich Fan. Meine erste Platte war von Frank. Mein leider nicht mehr lebende Mann war noch früher ein Fan. Er hat zu mind. 80% alle Platten. Vermisse solche super Musik ❤

[@popogast]

So wunderbar. Ich wäre gern als staunendes Kid oder Teenager dabei gewesen.

[@petraweigert4850]

@@popogast habe ihn leider verpasst. Live wäre ein Highlight gewesen. Schade 😥

[@popogast]

@@petraweigert4850 Ich habe leicht geschwindelt. Habe in zweimal als ziemlich alter Teenager gesehen. Mit Programmen aus Sheik Yerbouti und Joe's Garage und vielleicht einigen wenigen Oldies, die ich nicht mehr benennen kann.

[@petraweigert4850]

@@popogast ja etwas geschwindelt 🙃 Ist alles gut 🙋‍♀️

[@Catgirl_Online]

Good god, ain't it funky now!

[@Bonzo_B]

How you do go on...

[@fadethetrade]

who the hell else could write music like stravin sky,bernstein john wiiliams ,sabbath zepplin,play guitar as good as henrdrix and run for president all at the same time??Answer:NO ONE!!!

[@strumbolli]

The ever versatile Napolena Murphy Brock being put through his paces

[@neilburnsify]

I hope you realize that this man is the reason why I started playing guitar !!!

[@rohanroll]

PRICELESS. Funny as hell. How much I miss Zappa...

[@golfpajero]

Fortunately this will stay alive for many centuries!!!

[@janemillerick9614]

liko doze as long as the earth at this point. )))

[@BrainPolice5]

At 0:24 you hear George say "mental telepathy", then Napoleon goes into "What would you like, what would you like" right on beat and then you know the shit is on with this improv. One of the finest examples of onstage banter ever. I just wish I knew some of the in jokes.

[@somekidwithacomputer2939]

That is so amazing

[@brunovallesmunoz4757]

Those telephones😂😂 AMAZING PERFORMANCE!!

[@karmakultivator]

This song, version from "You Can't Do That On Stage No.2" got me hooked on Napoleon, and the whole 70's Zappa period. Great, great, great!!!!!!

[@ChasBeauregarde]

One of the best touring bands Frank recruited. I had the opportunity to see this lineup about 1974. This sounds like the dialogue they used in between the song "Pygmy Twilight" from the Roxy and Elsewhwere live record.

[@snip1966]

you can't make music as tight as this on drugs. these are the best musicians at that time.

[@juliusmeffert5127]

Ever tried Coke?

[@dannomusic47]

I’ve never seen Frank quite that way before! Very fun!

[@steeeeeeev3]

You know Mort remembered that night for the rest of his life

[@phideauxiii]

thank you for posting! i have the entire concert this was taken from, click me damnit. its called "a token of his extreme" i am rabid Zappa. i advocate breaking into The Vault with due Force, holding Gail hostage, and liberating the Roxy films. 16mm, superb audio, FZ mix, the Rosetta Stone of Zappa Perfection... a Film copy of the Roxy show. and totally... no "garnee du jour" whatsoever. no wrinkled carrot, no twisted celery no sog, no saran, no plastic. we understand Frank. we want Frank.

[@colindominy]

Frank The Great : A musical genius who was way, way ahead of his time & way ahead of the majority of somewhat 'simplistic' mainstream commercial audiences of the day. A once-in-a-lifetime gifted talent .. in the same league, in his own particular way, as the equally-unique, equally-gifted & mega-legendary Brian Wilson.

[@Smulpaap]

I love this piece! Humor does belong in music 😊

[@Geraint3000]

I've been prowling KZbin for 20 or 30 clips and you always come back to Zappa for somthing special. How cool is this??

[@OriginalApexTwin]

@IGotVirus, I am responsible for most of your views. If there's any gig I wished I could have gone to, it's this. I love all of the iterations of the band, but this is such a special lineup. Thanks for the upload!

[@firstcat]

'Herb Cohen' has to be the best possible lyrics for a chorus EVER.

[@FilTonks]

"All you musicians are hungry."

[@docsbassist]

And so many of them eat... and then there are the ones who don’t eat 🤣

[@moi3557]

Hilarious. And that background groove is superb.

[@alloutoftime]

I love this video. FZ & Napolian Murphy Brock are hilarious here. Frank Zappa was a total genious. I miss him. No one could do parodies like him. I"ll ALWAYS be a hardcore Frank Zappa fanatic. RIP Frank.

[@Perasaclip]

Real stand up

[@MegaYoshitsune]

I wonder what the audience was thinking. I wonder what I'm thinking. I don't know why I find this so hilarious.

[@milesdavis1964]

Un tipo brillante, no necesita drogas para su música ni para disfrutar. Me alegra que haya gente que le guste.

[@lk4790]

Zappa + Napoleon + gigantic telephones: Rocks my socks

[@uTuofs]

and no drugs was involved ! (zappa way ) pure stage fun.

[@joaovictorrussoburton824]

+Joao Victor Russo Burton THAT'S GOOD

[@beachmasterX]

or you could just call it being professional

[@billymays495]

No thin wrinkled carrot either

[@alleif]

He never used LSD or cocaine, and he didn't get any pleasure from marijuana. And I remember his band members saying he didn't allow drug use during their work either. Not sure whose biography you read, but it wasn't Zappa's.

[@Jakey9351]

So great!

[@geestrucken5009]

Fantastic!!!

[@岩崎誠司-j1p]

漫才も出来る、凄腕バンド

[@bertrandbaudry1963]

Magnifique. Un regal. Tout est bon dans ce room service....

[@ChasBeauregarde]

Exactly! I had a FM bootleg of this tour and it had this whole bit in it.

[@andisands]

Wow this vid is excellant - Zappa is one of the best....

[@jota.4831]

Good god, ain't it funky now!?

[@AnonsCrossfader]

I remember the version on YCDTOS Vol. 2..one of the funkiest george duke/chester thompson breaks ever.

[@dsordlyfolks666]

Next time I'm at a Hotel, I gotta do this one.

[@avid2112]

I miss Frank

[@StuntGuitarist]

Happy Birthday Frank!!

[@sancho8521]

What day?! Please don't make me Google it

[@Meiscochan]

I love this man...

[@frankoi7022]

Now, this means having a real fun!!

[@mbonsignorejr]

[@Planktontwo]

I recently read in Howard Kaylan's book Shell Shocked that totally backs you up on this statement! WTG.

[@dadosteidler2917]

Fantastic, incredible Napoleon :-*

BRAVO !!!!!!!!!!!! morceau qui doit être super dur à jouer CHAPEAU !!!

[@stefankessels]

“A drug is not bad. A drug is a chemical compound. The problem comes in when people who take drugs treat them like a license to behave like an asshole.” ― Frank Zappa

[@nobolettu]

lol i love them so much

[@franklanguage]

This is just classic. One time, Frank was asked by someone (a host of some show) how they should introduce him, and he said, "National treasure." God I miss him.

[@Nucleogenetico]

Napoleon Murphy Brock... muito engraçado!!!

[@joshuarosenblatt]

HAHAHA I'm gonna call Herb!!! LMAO (gotta love the reference to Herb Cohen, his ex-manager) definitely an inside joke, but friggin hilarious!!!

[@popogast]

This is so much fun. I wish another life.

[@kappadolce]

But he still encourages to call ANY vegetable and the chances are gooooood.. whatever he went for or not, I enjoy my spliff with mr FZ

[@mrkrinkle72]

man i want one of those big phones!

[@carlclark6356]

Damn I miss frank

[@benjaminortleb6138]

Not competable. I was too young to see these shows back in mid 70s, but I was lucky to see him touring at least 5 times in the 80s. This IS and was the most interesting, funny and best performance Frank did those days. Laughs all over, solid musicianship and entertaining as hell.

[@fadethetrade]

Well,in 1974 I told everyone he was our modern day Mozart.

[@joaogivelho]

Cuya! I´m doing room service at RSEM, in Maçã, Sesimbra, Portugal! ..., all included; with a shower as well!
