Frank Zappa & The Mothers - Room Service

A funny strip, from "The Dub Room Special"

[@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

[@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!

[@SkyFlyerZayne]

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

[@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

[@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!!!

[@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!

[@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

[@steeeeeeev3]

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

[@neilburnsify]

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

[@Catgirl_Online]

Good god, ain't it funky now!

[@Bonzo_B]

How you do go on...

[@golfpajero]

Fortunately this will stay alive for many centuries!!!

[@janemillerick9614]

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

[@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 🙋‍♀️

[@strumbolli]

The ever versatile Napolena Murphy Brock being put through his paces

[@rohanroll]

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

[@brunovallesmunoz4757]

Those telephones😂😂 AMAZING PERFORMANCE!!

[@dannomusic47]

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

[@snip1966]

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

[@juliusmeffert5127]

Ever tried Coke?

[@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 🤣

[@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.

[@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

[@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!!!!!!

[@MegaYoshitsune]

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

[@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!

[@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

[@Smulpaap]

I love this piece! Humor does belong in music 😊

[@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.

[@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??

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@geestrucken5009]

Fantastic!!!

[@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.

[@Jakey9351]

So great!

[@Perasaclip]

Real stand up

[@aflower9970]

"you can't do that on stage anymore"

[@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.

[@ChasBeauregarde]

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

[@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

[@bertrandbaudry1963]

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

[@dsordlyfolks666]

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

[@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!!!

[@Meiscochan]

I love this man...

[@andisands]

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

[@frankoi7022]

Now, this means having a real fun!!

[@popogast]

This is so much fun. I wish another life.

[@dellacostaful]

This groveeeeee! Zappa forever!

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

[@AnonsCrossfader]

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

[@nobolettu]

lol i love them so much

[@NicolasMarinoDiTeana]

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

[@Planktontwo]

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

[@StuntGuitarist]

Happy Birthday Frank!!

[@sancho8521]

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

[@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.

[@alecjahn]

Best post ever, in combination with your extreme typographical errors.

[@mrkrinkle72]

man i want one of those big phones!

[@youamwho]

HOW THE FUCK can even seven people NOT like this!?!?!?!

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

[@carlclark6356]

Damn I miss frank

[@LuneyTune72]

@bobdoles123 Not true, Frank tried pot a few times (and didn't like it) and he did drunk but didn't get drunk. Frank's kids don't drink or do drugs.

[@retinalcircus]

He must've been really in love with this incarnation of the mothers. He was close to Ruth, Napoleon, and George, so it's definitely more than likely

zack zack zack....glickmaaaan!

[@stfwho]

@comeonewtf oh I bet its demented there and everything, but Zappa wasn't "demented", nothing demented about him as far as I can tell, he was just a genius and had a lot of the power... but he wasn't messed up or anything, he was less messed up than most people.

good god aint it funky

he wants to order a green hocker and a greyhound locker from room service. Isn't it what weed dealers do? Renting a Greyhound locker to stash it? lol.

[@LuneyTune72]

@comeonewtf Yup, from Baltimore. Most of his life was spent in CA.

[@thepossessor]

listen to that groovy electric piano,

[@squittle66]

so fuckin cool man x

[@andymouse]

love frank but what is a green hocker ?

[@kpaasial]

This is great but the version on YCDTOSA 2 is way superior.

[@jakewojtowicz1460]

Why did they cut out the part about the musicians union?

[@stefankessels]

that's funny as HECK ;-)
