I guess some people find tornadoes offensive. Go figure.

That'd be it!
It is amazing to play Zappa with this small group!
As a fan of FZ from germany i think this is genious!
"Everything from rock to classical" and Frank Zappa. Which, of course, is a genre all it's own.
Awesome. I can't help thinking Frank wrote this after an evening listening to an Irish music session.
Switching on the sax player's mike would've been a nice touch but hey. My hat's off to the violinist
Love this. Anybody else notice that the anchors neglected to say the name of the song?
Funny how normal this track (and album) sounds now in the face of dubstep and every other cacophonic genre. I remember finding this one and being like "nope, sorry Frank, but this time you actually lost me"... and now I'm like "oh, wait, It's actually 100% organized and melodic, it's just that the sounds themselves throw you off from perceiving it that way"
Wow! Amazing!! Rocking that Cello is awesome! Damn, why only 4k views??
"Awesome! Totally awesome!" -Jeff Spicoli. Seriously, so glad to see Frank's music live on with all these bizarre bands doing his stuff (Asphalt Orchestra, Ukulele, etc). Never stop.
So happy to see frank alive and well.
They do a commendable job.
excellent job of ZAPPA's music , thanks
Cool...
Eine wirklich gute Performance des Stücks eines grandiosen Meisters. FZ würde es gefreut haben.
Yes! Yes! Amazing! We need more of them!!!
This is a great arrangement and cover.
Rock on you bad bitches
Frank would be proud. I like too.
For many in the audience that was their first Zappa concert.
Great dudes, great stuff! We're working for this piece for our duo...perhaps we're crazy! Congratulations again!
Shame the presenters (and the network) didn't have the guts to say "this is by Frank Zappa and it's called G-Spot Tornado"...
Excellent! Great arrangement. Really enjoyed that. Sharing...
Beautiful interpretation
1:22 - 1:47 now y'see that is the stuff right there
Mind=blown outstanding stuff!
❤
I'd give it an 11!
Maybe somebody could say that it is a Franck zappa tune ?
i like these people , i think frank would've liked them too
AMAZING!!!!!! :-) Congratulations!
You did the piece proud. Great job!
I don't think that cellist missed a single note. Impressive.
The best.
Weird mix. But overall, a great and true live interpretation of the original. And I love the passion for it!
Don't think this is what the anchors were expecting
Phunny that the hosts didn't mention the name of the song.
that was awesome!!! I have to bet that most people changed the channel ;)
Wonderfully ALIVE !!
Nice job
I often wonder wether it was an intentional false rumour Zappa created, saying 'G-spot tornado' could never be replicated by anything other then a machine. It's been done several times now.. I know they said even the yellow shark iteration nearly didn't make it to the final cut because they couldn't get it right in rehearsals or something (my memory is rusty) though I can't help but think, that too might have been hyped up. Amazing song and suited much better to a classical arrangement personally I feel (even though the snyc' version is out of this world and nothing comes close to it on the digital spectrum. It's about the most unique electronic peice of art I've ever heard).

Frank did say in an interview that I've read that he thought "G-Spot Tornado" wasn't playable by humans. I'm exceedingly happy to see several musical groups playing it these days, even if the keyboard player in this video did screw up his part a bit.
They should have given credit to Frank before they started. False advertising, yet still impressive.
Loved it. Was the name announced?

That keyboard sounds terrible. The rest is hot stuff though.

Even Zappa turned in his grave hearing that part.

QUE MANERA DE DENIGRAR AL GRAN FRANK ZAPPA
Not a classic performance, at all - lots of "whoops" moments, mainly from the "rhythm section"

Was a wee bit shaky in places yes, but hats off for daring to attempt it, nowhere to hide in such a small group
