Zappa Plays Zappa - The Black Pages #1 & #2 - Live Performance

[@markdearlove8634]

I think Terry Bozio said, maybe in the drummers of Frank Zappa series, that he did read it off a sheet, in front of Zappa, first time around and nailed it by the third attempt! Great performance / reaction as usual.

Magnifique !

Vinnie Colaiuta played it from memory in his audition... but Zappa wasn't thrilled by that, because Zappa put SHEET MUSIC in front of Vinnie... and Vinnie was faking reading it because he knew it... so Zappa stopped him and put a DIFFERENT piece of music in front of him...(Vinnie said it was Pedro's Dowry, but he remembered incorrectly, because it was actually Moe and Herb's Vacation) and when Vinnie played that correctly Zappa stopped him and said "OKAY...so you CAN read music." and then... after trying out another bunch of drummers... he gave Vinnie the job.

I think Terry's rodeo is still busy getting all the gear in the truck.

Remember Dec 4 when he passed away

That's why you had to be an incredible musician to be in Frank's band.

Dweezil sounds a lot like Frank did before he was thrown from the stage.

The joke used to be why are there no Zappa cover bands? because they can't! Not anymore..
