Frank Zappa - Yellow Snow Suite - 10/13/1978 - Capitol Theatre (Official)

[@philcolisovclosetotheedge2973]

Frank Zappa is the greatest composer of the 20th century!!!!!!

[@frankaviza6362]

God damn right

[@duster71]

Any century,besides writing the music he assembled numerous bands that traveled around the globe at an almost unstoppable pace,.

[@AllendeEtAl]

Every musician who ever worked with Frank Zappa was amazingly talented in their own right, and this video is a tribute not only to the man himself but also his band

[@JaySuschrist]

Totally agree.

[@shawnam7128]

[@mnbv990]

Have to agree, this is an amazing ensemble, and they look like they are enjoying themselves.

[@landocal001]

They do indeed. Meanwhile, they are playing their collective asses off. Every Zappa alumni will say just that. Zappa was the shit!

[@groovylobster]

I don't usually comment on people's profile pictures, but Deloused in the Comatorium is probably the greatest album of the 21st century

[@sandykemp7562]

Love him or hate him Zappa was not only a highly accomplished musician and composer but he always recruited the best musicians to play along with him. These guys are tighter than tight despite all the ad-libbed moments. He’s not everyone’s cup of tea but I’ve learned to embrace the weirdness 👌🏻

[@johnpaul-mp7zc]

Nanuk a no no.

[@ehsbe1056]

The arrangement, the hilarious and fantastically crafted lyrics, the unbelievable musicianship displayed from everyone on stage, what a fucking brilliant performance

[@Schwertfisch13]

Nanook Rubs it Got to be one of the best ongoing blues kinda progressions. The Way he explains the Audience participation part always staying onbeat. Epic Shit

[@seeyouinhale2317]

The musicianship is on another level in another galaxy; crazy good.

[@mattb9054]

Zappa was the perfect combination of musician, comedian and stage performance

[@oakenshanks]

this is just another example of the musical genius of Frank Zappa.... like it or not... if you don't like it...why are you here...??...lol

[@JimmyDrifts]

too true! also shows how incredible his band was at this time

[@lealeelovely5612]

+oakenshanks Frank was very classically trained and had a host of European composers from over the past 100 years that he studied ,absorbed from and emulated. He was indeed a genius. One might think he was acting when he got the directors baton out and waved it around, but he actually knew how to use it properly- how to lead an orchestra. And Frank actually wrote orchestra compositions quite well.

[@Patrick96322]

+Lia Lovely Frank started to write contemporary classical music at the age of 14, and said that he didn't write a rock 'n' roll song until he reached his early 20's !

[@zolarczakl3880]

Frank took about 2 semesters at a music school, got the gist of it and went on his own with his ideas of music composition; so basically self-taught. He once described his early composing style as "getting as far out as possible with the slide rule" then said, "who cares about that stuff?" and got more involved with writing "rock 'n roll" songs. Obviously, he never abandoned his slide rule, owing to the impossible time signatures in many of his tunes.

[@landocal001]

Read his biography, no mention of classical training. He does mention many classical influences.

[@robnelson1268]

I saw Zappa twice back in the seventies,pure genius.

[@zhxv99999]

5:40 I love zappa man! Haven't seen this done in a concert since 1972 with the dead but this time. This time it was like hoorah man! Zappa does a gesture to replicate the Eskimo, and asks the crowd to join. The crowd does the gesture, except for a few people. So Zappa stops the music and asks "why aren't you two pouncing are you guys ripped?" And the camera goes to the crowd with all their hands up with the most doobies you could ever see!, when I watched this and saw all the smoke in the crowd I laughed the hardest I've ever laughed in a while! And I wanted to share the full Zappa experience with everyone man!

[@pamelagrogan8305]

SUCH A GREAT MIND....R.I.P...FRANK.....MISSING YOU.!!

[@davin6175]

This suite is one of my all-time favorites. I never understood why none of his bands ever seemed to play this after it's release (at least with all the segued songs) until this point.

Yeah it’s a shame it wasn’t played often. Ycdtosa vol 1 has the best live version, but the new cobo hall show from the overnite sensation box set is pretty good

[@noname1st139]

This version is as equally as enjoyable as the original, I love the alternate lines "And my momma cried","You don't really look like an Eskimo" 😂

[@duncanbrodie3615]

God bless you Frank What a genius you were One of my favorite clips Only thing better would be you playing guitar! You left this world way too soon. Thank you for the music you left us with

Yeah, I wanted to hear Him wail during the Nanuuk rubs it part.👍🏾

[@acidreins870]

all i can say is BRILLIANT!!!

[@musicalBurr]

I just have to chime in here and state the obvious: This video is an absolute gem. Zappa never ceases to amaze me.

[@frenchef7]

The execution of this show is so perfect it's unbelievable. The best of entertainment which is possible to achieve in a single show

[@billygoatgruff410]

Tight as a tight thing that's so very tight !!! The bass and drums on this are sublime and help drive the band way past warp speed with Frank at the controls. RIP Frank Zappa

[@leesadleridge]

What an incredible frontman!!! Far ahead of his time in my opinion. I was 6 years old when this came out, didn't listen to him until I was in my teens, got hooked after hearing the yellow snow ✌️

[@georgegreenwood7614]

What an absolute gem! RIP brother. You'll live forever.

"Now what's a matter with you? Are you two ripped over there?" LMFAO! RIP Frank.

[@mikefitznb1]

saw him 7 times thru the 70's....and blew me away everytime.....and at intermission he would tell them to go into lobby and register to vote

[@bundr]

I'm a major zappa head and was able to recognize everyone on sight watching this video, but never new this band had 2 bassists - Arthur Barrow and Patrick O'Hearn! Really cool!

[@bundr]

@@HakanTunaMuzik Great to know! It's hard to imagine Barrow being "not up to scratch" considering his legendary status among other zappa alumni (it's hard to get a compliment from Thunes!!). That and the fact that he was also a clonemeister. Guess I'll have to read his book to find out more! Thanks for the reply!!

This was my first concert I was 15 years old and to see Frank Zappa at such a small venue in Passaic NJ was great I wished that the Capitol Theater remained open it was a great place to see a show especially the Maestro Frank Zappa

[@glatisant74]

this is 1978, bloody genious, what an interaction with the audience. nowhere near this sort of stuff was any fashionable at the time. the one and only Frank
