Something interesting to consider, in light of your comment, ongo bongo, Tommy Igo, a famed drummer and band leader leading the Birdland Allstars, does the same thing. He sets the tunes on the set list 30 seconds before a concert. He said in the in the concert I saw that he does this to keep it live. “It is Jazz, after all.” It wouldn’t surprise me if the same was done by the likes of Zappa.

The Fowler Bros.(Tom and Bruce) on bass and trombone- the awesome George Duke on the keys, Jean-Luc Ponty on violin. However, I am not positive who was on drums here, I would have to check-(rather than give the wrong info).

Frank Zappa may be gone from us, but as far as musical immortality he's one of the Immortals. He could play rock, pop, jazz, classical, hard rock, progressive rock, every genre was turned on its head by him. He wrote very funny unique lyrics full of great insight and commentary. The man did everything. He was certainly the best musician for putting jazz and rock together in a way that actually worked. I currently write poetry and am thinking of a book of it upcoming. It's very different from anything Zappa did, but at the same time beneath the pastoral surface he's there in it and if I were to embark on music I'd carry all that he gave me with me.

For real.

[@duaneberry3298]

Yes, double take.

[@duaneberry3298]

Running it through a wah-wah petal. Reminds me of Cris Wood of Traffic doing same with a sax.

[@blueeyedsoulman]

@@duaneberry3298 ...and some kind of fuzz box.

[@guilhermepm]

Zappa facing Duke on his solo says a lot of his personality and how hard it was to WORK (play) with him.

[@gianfrancosassofarina148]

That time- change-riff at 6:57 gives me shivers

[@ramelak1635]

FZ the musician, guitarist extraordinaire and master story teller! Grew up listening on LPs and radio, but so lucky now to watch his videos thanks to Youtibe

[@markhazell1763]

This is the first song by Frank that I have heard and I have to say now I am totally a fan. Brilliant.

[@Zopf-international]

Listen to that gorgeous bass..!

[@shmooton]

makes me want to pull out my eyes and stuff them in my ears so i can see what im hearing, absolute majik x x

[@steveperkins4491]

great comment!

[@nuthineatholl6434]

The old trans-anatomical synaesthesiac musical-appreciation trick, eh? Works like a charm! Cheers!

[@governmentgangstalkingexpo7192]

Taking a large amount of acid is always a good way to see what you hear

[@123Tymathis]

First time I’ve seen a sax played through a wah

[@oldtimetinfoilhatwearer]

I still haven't. That is a bass clarinet.

[@duaneberry3298]

Cris Wood of the old Traffic band used a wah--wah on his 'sax'. This is a bass clarinet.

[@andretyroneii941]

Miles Davis played wah wah trumpet

[@graxjpg]

Didier malherbe of Gong would play with a wah in the 70s

[@roberttoy4712]

probably the most UNDERrated guitar player ever. Amazing work.

[@PAULLONDEN]

Yup.....sure............😵☝🏼🔮

[@OneAfter-wb9gq]

Not underrated in anyway.

[@3-methylindole730]

OneAfter 909 yes he is

[@JimSVoit]

Absolutely underrated!!

[@tommyyanovich]

Everyone hates Zappa according to my dad, he said they would play his music at parties to clear out the house ! Lol but my dad thinks he’s a god and i love his music , it’s real, it’s pure, and it’s motherfuckin rock and roll baby

[@amarok5048]

With the Oil of Aphrodite and the dust from the Grand Wazoo!

[@graxjpg]

The fact that he took bits of phrasing from both earlier solos is mind blowing.

[@mdc2077]

Excellent musicianship. Tight band. Everyone is dope. My only complaint is they don't show the bass player more. He funked it up and kept it in the pocket. And I'm not a bass player, I just appreciate the groove!

[@ski137]

Frank always had the most amazing talent with him. Ian Underwood on sax, JL Ponte on violin, Geo Duke on keys.....

[@ramonitbelascuain8611]

We were so enamored by his art that we forgot how hard he worked to reach this level.

[@gregbeck8646]

Zappa was a Master!

[@ankihansen2489]

David Topchiev Of Music, my dear David. Frank was a Force of Nature

Franka Zappa was amazing artist... For colective memory of the humanity. I love this song :)

[@stenmark2235]

I whas There that night in skansen Stockholm sweden 1973 When Frank played, i whas only eleven year old. It Was a Great consert.. Thankyou.

[@TheJonkaman]

Jean-luc Ponty é um dos meus músicos favoritos de todos os tempos. Suas músicas são incríveis, são composições ricas, muito jazz, muito prog, muito rock e a cada álbum uma surpresa, uma proposta inovadora que percola pela world music, sempre trazendo elementos de outras culturas desse mundão! Grata surpresa saber que fez parte da trupe do Zappa que é outro que dispensa comentários.

[@flaccidego4291]

Now whhhatt kine of a Ga-Ruh r you anyway?

[@josearnaldopinheirodossant7712]

E o cara fazia um ótimo blues, além de jazz, rock'n roll e etc, fazia tudo de primeira, muito bom, um grande gênio que se foi.

[@bearno8518]

I was 11 the first time I heard this song...40 years later I still effin' love it!!!! Is that a Real Poncho or a Sears Poncho?

[@rlm502]

and the phrase will outlive Sears....

[@Bardia323]

That was the most elaborate roasting I've seen in my life

[@russhamer]

Great! Zappa was a genius indeed. There are so many moments in this one piece that show this...all the little breaks, the timing of these unpredictable changes are superb. Zappa's musical vision changed rock, ushered in fusion sounds and jazz influence and big-band energy that later showed up in BS&T and Chicago.

[@moon000dog]

An epic tune, hearing it always brings me to loud vocals and a smile from ear to ear.

[@ziggyzappada4554]

"Hey! what sort of Guru are you anyway?" these are just the cream of musicians!

[@Dang...]

I was lucky to hear this version of the band live. Thanks for posting.

[@SuperAtoZman]

So great to hear... really some of his greatest work... SuperAtoZman Says, I always loved Frank Zappa... One of the All Time Greats.

[@nedd.8479]

I actually like this version better than the original.

[@DerbyAzull]

Ned D. Me too

[@gail9566]

I don't generally like live recordings but this is tight.

[@MegaCirse]

Ecouter la musique de Franck c'est abolir le déferlement de bruits et d'images du quotidien pour entrouvrir l'espace d'un ailleurs où la contingence et la représentation cèdent la place à l'immatérialité du sensible. Une fois refermée la porte sur l'agitation du monde, un silence sous-jacent s'installe, une lenteur saisit, préludes à une dilatation de la perception et de la conscience. Dans le courant de l'art abstrait dont FZ marque la vitalité et l'intérêt toujours renouvelés, le pouvoir expressif de l'architecture sonore rompt avec toute forme de transcription du réel pour s'attacher à l'expression d'un univers impalpable. Couleurs, composition, rythme, constituent un langage qui donne voix à l'exaltation - Merci Franckie !!!

[@vv0422]

Frank, pas Franck, et puis il faudrait commencer à diminuer les doses!

[@MegaCirse]

vv0422 C'est pas facile mais je vais faire un effort ! :D

[@vv0422]

Super! mais ne t'inquiète pas, j'y suis bien arrivé alors que ce n'était pas gagné d'avance. Je te souhaite une bonne soirée.

[@MegaCirse]

vv0422 En fait, au départ, je voulais écrire que ça me paraissait aussi beau que la rencontre fortuite d'un parapluie et d'une machine à coudre sur une table de dissection.... ça aurait été sûrement plus bref et en même temps plus percutant (mais bon, les substances m'ont fait dériver :( Souvent "cent fois sur le métier il faut remettre son ouvrage" La prochaine fois je serais plus cohérent - Cordialement cher ami -

[@vv0422]

J'aime bien votre humour zappatesque Bonne journée à vous.

[@hippiecheezburger5457]

This performance is incredible, Frank Zappa and his musicians were so amazing. I love his jazz pieces and long solos with the different instruments, the notes speak more than any words ever could really

[@jebushwplainview9453]

Always put Zappa on hold my whole life... Here goes.. A new rabbit hole.

[@carns518]

Im 3 weeks behind you. How's it looking down there?

[@jebushwplainview9453]

carns518 it’s pretty cool. I love the Bobby brown song he made... he’s a cool cat, far from my favorite stuff but it’s definitely something to add to a shuffle playlist for me. I can see how he was ahead of his time and why people freaked out when he came on the scene... It’s at least DEFINITELY worth a look

[@getzapped313]

[@Wormtongue13]

Ahhhhhhh … you know he lived for the solos. Bless his heart and soul for giving us so many great ones.

[@davidnielsen4188]

So true

[@ct4709]

Saw Zappa at the Uptown Theater in KCMO 1984. Absolutely awesome. One of the best guitarists I have ever seen.

[@Jnodonly]

My son took me to see Zappa Plays Zappa this past Mother's Day, they even played Trouble Coming Everyday, due to the riots in Baltimore. Dweezil really did his Dad proud, 2nd time I saw them, saw Frank 3 times, always a great show, the best one was at Painters Mill. Sadly they are both gone.

[@deeneebeeni2078]

Well that was just outstanding. Just what the doctor ordered.

[@horacerumpole7629]

What a group of masters!!

[@TheDanLovingood]

Frank Zappa, a genuine cutting-edge musical visionary!

[@charliefoxtrotthe3rd335]

My uncle had all these Zappa albums, like 15 or 20, and when I was about 10 or 11 he got some of them out and since I was so young, he thought I would like the more lighthearted, funny songs he wrote, like Stinkfoot. So, from an early age, I always thought he was a comedian who used music to tell his comedy! No shit, I thought he was like the first Weird Al Yankovick. And Frank was nothing of the sort. I knew he was an amazing musician, but only the funny stuff. And I thought the Police song actually said We all spit in our hot cereal...

[@peternrgaard8332]

WONDERFUL MUSIC and performance THANK YOU BROTHER Frank for all your music , from one of your Danish admirer who joined you and The MOI cocert 1970 in Forum Copenhagen. THX again

[@adrianclinch9553]

I will love frank zappa music to my dying day.

[@blackmantram6057]

This is not music. This is magic

[@SharonVlaar]

Such a good tune & Timeless❤❤❤❤

[@rongaliene1055]

I sure do wish Frank was still with us. His music was genius in it’s social commentary. Not to mention technically brilliant!

[@funbebop]

In my opinion, the 1970's was the best decade for FZ! It was just enough outside but also had some clutch pocket grooves; way before all the synclavier stuff. I truly adore the rhythm section with Tom Flower, bass and Ralph Humphrey some of the greatest pocket playing in the 70s. Also a huge kudos to Ruth Underwood , the best female percussionist of all time! Hopefully, the Zappa Trust will keep releasing this classic era of FZ !

[@pgroove163]

Late 60s / early 70s my favorite...

[@eldubs]

Peter Comer died recently. He loved you're music. All the way from plymouth UK xxxx

[@teufelhunden8711]

I've never seen anyone do a blues solo like that on the Piano. Holy shit!
