Zappa Plays Zappa - Inca Roads (Part II)

The keyboards solo by Aaron Arntz

[@Pinehurst16]

This is what all musicians should strive for. Not just three chords and an attitude.

[@perromanchado]

Wow!! Respect to Dweezil!! He took time out, reinvented his guitar technique & put a lot of effort into learning his dad´s wonderful & extremely difficult compositions. This is my all-time favourite Zappa piece.

[@Geraint3000]

Beyond amazing. What all bands should aim for.

[@Astromyxin]

This video is due for a comment. A rousing performance very much worthy of his father's and everyone that ever played for him's praise. Napoleon Murphy Brock is in top form, even after almost 40 years of performing these songs. Well done by all, this must have been a tough one to put together in practice. I had the pleasure of seeing this being played live, and I'll never forget it. I never did get the chance to see Frank play, as I was 10 when he died, and more concerned with ninja turtles than musical virtuosos at the time. But in my time, I was graciously granted the opportunity to see it first hand via Dweezil and the gang, and I couldn't be more appreciative. Of everything. The hard work, the resolve, the almost slavish practice regimen, the determination to have Frank's music heard again, for some, the first time. It is a noble thing that you're doing you guys, and I stand in applause and in reverence of the genius that was Frank Zappa and the people that had the common decency to carry it upon their shoulders into the next generation, making damn sure nobody forgets the name ZAPPA.

The drummer is the always amazing Joe Travers. I've seen the band 4 times now and the performances are stellar, and Joe's playing of this outrageously difficult material is absolutely perfect (and he sings complex back-up and lead vocals while playing as well...it's nuts!).

[@drvbluesman1]

It's amazing to watch Dweezil accompanying all the vibe parts on guitar. But the keyboard solo is the highlight on part 2. He teases, with whispers of George Duke throughout, but truly gets in a TON of his own chops. I'm a guitarist, but I was mucho impressed.

[@mu99ins]

I got goose bumps from that. I think it's Aaron Arntz who played the krazy keyboards solo. It's so right with the Universe that Napoleon Murphy Brock is doing the vocals. If you don't have the ZPZ dvd, get it.

[@callycat23]

The keyboardist is absolutely amazing, fabulous stuff.

[@wobrien007]

A-mazing. Top notch. One of my faves. Frank would be proud.

[@Geraint3000]

Beyond beautiful.

[@BarneyWoland]

Amazing. No comment can't express how that guy made my feel like. Perfection.

[@fadethetrade]

Greatest pop jazz rock of ALL TIMES! Nothing comes close,except Jethro Tull.

[@cjpmugsr999]

I LOVE the kick drum head!!!

[@wobrien007]

That's fucking fabulous. Can't imagine better. The old man would be proud....

[@BryanEddy09]

WOW.would his Dad be proud.note for note,and amazing improvs.That keyboard stuff was sick ,and the guys aren't even sweatin up there!sickness!

[@lastgameplay]

Thank you very much

[@twinsmm1]

I love Napoleon. I hope he never dies.

[@SHADOWCLONE177]

HOLY CRAP!!! Im not poetic enough to describe this song

[@muddyguitar]

Dweezil-Thank you for honoring your dad Wonderful!

[@kungfusion100]

Am I the newest member of the Joe Travers fan club? It really doesn't matter-he probably blows people away every day. Have been a student of Inca Roads for twenty years-parts one and two. And seen Frank play it live. This band deliver.

[@TheGaetano62]

joe travers is fantastic

[@chizmo7]

very nice....Frank would be PROUD.

[@chocchipcookiegirl]

Now THIS is music

[@Jumo55]

j aime c ette version domage que le solo clavier n est pas sur les dvd zplay z il y a une autre versionbelle aussi!!

[@zappalives]

I agree. Frank would be proud.

[@mauditvin]

God is not dead, our son is back......

[@CribNotes]

wow....they did it.

[@NevaEnuffDakka]

I can almost detect some Bernie Worrell influences in part of the solo. Might just be the tone, but it's definitely reminiscent of him.

[@myklmusic]

Oh, Yes... this is nice! I'm loving this. The keyboard solo was very cool, but absolutely no reference to George Duke makes sense here. This Dude has a really nice style, and made his rounds to all his keys. I particularly enjoyed the Rhodes stuff at the beginning, and at the end. Very nice!

[@boilinabag]

smokin.

[@Elcerritogooze]

just as good as the original on ONE SIZE FITS ALL

[@FortSasquatch]

Keyboards,bass and drums section stole the tune!.....O.K it was all amazing!

[@markjbaldwin]

would have liked to see Brian Auger play with Z

[@ikeeptime]

@JonteJH2 Man, I gotta say after looking over the tune a few more times I think it IS Portnoy on drums. What are the odds of someone who lools so much like him and is so adept at covering drum lines from other artists (which D T is known for) not being him? His stick motion and grip (far to the butt end of the stick) also seem to be portnoy. Even if this is not him, whoever it is has my respect. I have tried to cover the song's drumming on numerous occasions and failed.

[@leifjellow]

Thats Ruth !!

[@postsux08]

i think the dumer took the lead in that

[@barkofink]

interesting on keyboard solo part goes 7/8 bossa like and finally original 7/16..Unfortunately it's just george duke heated and nothing happen for the rest,and this is unfortunately the case of a general manner to ZPZ.

[@Super_Saiyen_Potato]

FRANK KNOWS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@dodecafono]

Wow Dweezil!

[@ikeeptime]

Cud the drummer have been Portnoy (of Dream Theater)? Has the looks, beard and bandana.

[@cjpmugsr999]

guacamole queen guacamole queen... who was the guacamole queen?

[@joeybbbbbz]

comments... what comments are needed! All i have to say is :O

[@cjpmugsr999]

and playing those George Duke electric piano lines ain't easy is it?

[@botequimdelivery]

DU CARALEO !!!!

[@gumbyonacid]

@ProgressiveNightmare awesome...keep the ego in check though.....

[@Intravert]

sorry for the trite phrase, but I have to say that the keyboardist is da shit!!! I mean in a very positive way.

[@MrClasir]

who's the drummer?

[@thartmusic]

It's isn't George Duke

[@TheGaetano62]

@MrClasir

[@Svagtpositiv]
