Pink Floyd - with Frank Zappa 1969

Actuel Festival, Mont de lnclus, Amougies, Belgium.
25 October, 1969.
Frank Zappa’s jam with Pink Floyd
"That was after the Mothers [of Invention] had broken up, and y'know, I had time on my hands," Zappa said several years later. "These people contacted me. They offered me $10,000 to be an emcee at a festival, all expenses paid, and go over there, and, y'know, whatever I wanted to do, and I said, 'Fine.' So, I get there, and they neglected to tell me that nobody spoke English."
They did, however, speak the international language of music (sorry, that was corny)-so Zappa made a point of jamming with several acts on the bill, including Aynsley Dunbar and Pink Floyd. Oddly enough, even though the video below shows Zappa on stage with Roger Waters, David Gilmour and the rest of Pink Floyd, Zappa had no recollection of the jam session. It must've been one hell of a music fest.

Well they where not, because their work they did was really work. The worked very concentrated on every detail of their music. You can't do that under massive influence of drugs. That does not mean they don't use drugs as well, to be creative sometimes. It's like if you like to drink a glass of wine or two, or smoke a joint on a party, to be a bit more relaxed and feel good, but not on work. Or if you destroy your life by drinking every day and be drunk or stoned at 10:00am. Like a Jimi Hendrix, a Janis Joplin a Eddie van Halen or many others.

Knowing Zappa’s musical proclivities as well as I do, I am certain that he found himself horrified to be jamming on a one chord song with a bunch of pretentious British art school wankers with a very limited bassist and drummer (and I love pre DSOTM Pink Floyd). This is a type of music that Zappa would have mercilessly lambasted in a composition. Zappa enjoyed complex, structured songs with strange time signatures and jazz chord voicing, backed by virtuosic sidemen. Frank Zappa was a legendarily proficient polymath on guitar, and the lame, half-hearted fretting that he shows with this performance betrays his state of mind.

[@blindlemon9]

Gerry Berry . Actually, with the exception of the long-gone Syd Barrett, Pink Floyd members were known to avoid drugs almost entirely, just like Zappa. They certainly supplied the music for millions of trips and other drug experiences in fans, however.

[@dr.magnusnyhusurgentcarebar]

Frank was a genius. Frank was very oppionated. Frank admitted that cigarette addiction was a personal failure. If you are going to be critical of the failures of others at least recognize your own faults. Frank did recognize his own faults. It's a shame he didn't live long enough to get the help he needed to overcome the addiction of tobacco

[@maxheadroom1837]

The problem here was Zappa’s jamming genius is best played within certain musical note relationships and melodic riffing, while Pink Floyd’s early psychedelic trip jamming was a lot of acid inspired impressionistic noise art. Zappa probably didn’t trip so he was limited with what he could do to relate although he still does fine it’s interesting to see him out of his element a little.
