Frank Zappa-Zoot Allures

Does Humor Belong In Music?

[@billymays495]

Out of all the senses, my ears are my favorite

[@michaelh.3555]

Bon earpetit. Thank the Lord I'm only half deaf.

[@dtc8249]

Fuck yeah. People always think I’m strange when I say I’d rather lose my sight than my hearing but it’s not even a contest for me. I’d be an empty shell without my tunes

[@eis904]

Another incredible piece that Frank composed.

[@desirecandon5789]

1969 - 2019: ZAPPA FOREVER , après 50 ans , toujours le même bonheur à l'écouter.

[@seamanjive]

We miss you Frank....and do we ever need you now. I feel so lucky so have seen Zappa and co at several London Hammersmith Odeon shows in the 70s..

[@akahina]

I never missed Frank when he came through. Best shows and the best guitarist I've ever seen.

[@tomn9094]

To continually throughout his career, put these types of this level band. Writing this type this level music. Playing these solos. Yeesh. I watched him thru the decades just amaze audience after audience. Never a second rate player never off nite . From motorhead to ensemble modern. Incredible.

[@12345vickers]

Always liked this song. Remember Dad having the vinyl album back when I was a kid in the 80's. Late 90's, Mum, Dad & sister had a shop and that was called Zoot Allures. Great concert from start to finish.

[@user-ex8wp2go5r]

Unbelievable Unbelievable the same I'm 100% I don't believe all my friends tell me Frank Zappa My name is Ali I'm Arab I live in Thailand

[@GuidoKGroup]

Great. One of Zappas best songs, and especially this solo is one of his best. It stirs me to tears. Zappa rules !!!!!!!!!

[@Captain-Nostromo]

The Guido K. Group well Black napkins isn't bad either

[@tomn9094]

Mastery. Bravo maestro 👏

[@beatler11]

I got to see Frank 5 times. I remember in 1984 leaving his show and thinking , well he will be back next year or so. He never came back.

[@domriderthefabulousdogsdel702]

First Zappa album I bought in my teens, then I had the chance to see that tour in Paris with Bozzio, o'hearn, Jobson and the man was brilliant as usual...

[@tofu219]

I was there !!!

[@empathyisgood5189]

Saw him live in the 70's. I agree, absolute genius.

[@jackwyatt1218]

I saw him at Duke University in '72, I believe it was.

[@alainberckx454]

My Zappa-mania started with this album. Never recovered from it.

[@lancethrustworthy]

Yep. Zoot Allures got me, big time. It might be the only Zappa album I own...no, I've got Over-Nite Sensation and a few others.

Such an iconic record. This song .... One more reason to stay at the guitar!!!

[@jamesregan6679]

I like how Frank instructed (perhaps even insisted) the audience to sit down and relax. Just listen👂and indulge.

[@jerrymack6123]

I was there with my friend we rode up from Brooklyn on a BSA 650 and Norton 750 it was on the pier upper west side HOT summer night and every bit as electrified as this video thank you for posting, it's unreal to see again...

[@waa-art]

One of my all time favourite Zappa tracks.

[@bluesharp59]

I saw Frank back in the 70s in St. Paul, Mn. At the civic center. What a show they put on. To this day I still say it was the best concert of my life and no one has ever top it yet. Rest In Peace Frank, you are forever missed and thanks for the memories.

[@ale6723]

you lucky guy. i got to see some really cool shows but sadly, wasnt alive at the 70's

I was lucky enough to see Frank TWICE! Once was at The Olympic in downtown L. A., with my lifelong pal Jerry, and the other time was at Santa Barbara’s Arlington Theatre with a number of people from my FM Rock station. 2 different shows, several years apart - and both KILLER!

[@MARVELOUDIO]

I cannot imagine how somebody can live without a shot of pure ZAPPASTUFF from time to time :) .... what an experience!

[@cacapaxaxaadolfo132]

What else but GENIUS can be said about this guy.

[@jamesduncan8804]

Ike Willis is always so graceful and beautiful when he plays.

[@ProgBartleby]

Great guitarist...vastly underrated.

[@glennjones6004]

I met him while he was touring with Project Object. I asked him, "After twenty-five years, what was "the life(in music)" like'" He replied with an answer that I had heard from every competent music teacher that I'd ever had. He said, "You work your ass off for eighteen hours a day for those three hours under the lights." Truly, that is what greatness takes.

[@quadrogong1111]

The way he would enter these freaky chordal modes, they felt so psychedelic and strange..so exotic, like a little journey.. he was peaking guitar-wise here, IMO , the way he controlled that Strat feedback w his tremolo, he was a master of that..

[@OhBrutalOne]

I was at this show as a kid with my dad! Listen to Zappa even to this day. Have a original press Zoot allures vinyl too. Fantastic music. Thx for the upload 👍

[@robertnieten9844]

I didn't really get into Zappa and the Mothers until i heard 200 Motels.

[@gorthlek]

I was disappointed with this album which I bought for a friend when it came out. All the great songs that cried out for a guitar solo - 'Torture', 'Zoot' etc didn't have one. Its only the live shows and bootlegs that really bring it to life. Maybe there was some contractual sh*t going down for the original release ?
