The guitar player from The Doors covers Frank Zappa? This is going to get INTERESTING.....

Holy Christ, Sal on trumpet!!! Wow!!!

They make it look SO easy. I guess when you've been playing for around sixty years, you get good. Real good.

I actually have this on Vinyl. Not only that but I'm also a guitarist and stumbled upon the bass line for this not too long ago, it just appeared in my memory and came right out through my fingers which led to an extended improv on it. Always have been a Zappa fan, ever since a teenager. Also was a Doors fan and while I'm too young to actually have seen the Doors live, I did see Robbie Krieger play live at the El Mocambo one night way back. I remember he was backed up by a couple of guys from another band called, The Knack. I also recall that they played a cover of Zappa's Black Napkins which was great. I think Krieger is an amazing and distinctive guitarist who was instrumental in the fame and popularity of the Doors. I'm pretty sure he actually wrote Light my Fire, the Doors first big hit. Thx for sharing this.

Great song, performed by great musicians. Can't ask for more.

Just gorgeous how he wraps his guitar around this

Nice job Robbie

Robby is always humble and a lot of talent.

Professional. It stands to Zappa’s standards of musicianship, which is all one can say of this piece of art. Well done.

Superb performance of one of Franks finest. Top class Musicianship all round.

My 3 Fav Zappa Albums : 1) Chungas Revenge (1970) 2) Absolutely Free (1967) 3) Another Band From LA (1972).

Naming a favorite Zappa album is like naming your favorite child. Couldn't or wouldn't be possible. I've heard many live and the studio recordings of this one piece and can't choose the best....Frank's entire body of work is just awesome.

On the album cover, Robby was shown playing a guitar. The pick he was using was a Quarter, .25 ¢. This was in the early 80's, I think.

What a gift.Awsome..Thank you

I just noticed that Sal Marquez is there too. Wow!

Excellent guys! Beautiful!

Just magnificent. Great treatment of an iconic tune

Sounds great! First thought was how Krieger makes it sound like the Doors but that's just his style and tone. Second thought was if the ZFT gave them clearance.

This is pure gold

GREAT VERSION

Great rendition, thanks! 🙏

It is always a pleasure to listen to great musicians playing the best compositions of Zappa✨💖🎸👍 (Chunga's revenge is the best LP,for me)

What a find!!!! fantastic. Thanks a lot :)

This is just priceless! Thank you gentlemen.

The best cover !🎸🎸👏👏👏

Great stuff. Been a long time since I've listened to Chunga's Revenge. I always wondered if The Doors' and Zappa's paths crossed much. They seemed to each be on their own distinctive musical planets, even though they were pillars of the LA musical scene and major forces in the 60s counter culture.

I like Robbies style but it’s vastly different from Frank’s, still fits the song well though

Robbie needs a white headstock..

Definitely slower than Frank… Would turnover in his grave. 10 for effort considering! If it’s just a warm up then….???

And all these years after the Doors, I've never been able to listen to Robbie Krieger's guitar playing. He plays guitar like he's just picked it up after not touching it for over 40 years. Dweezil played better when he was 15.

Boring.!.
