Ladies and gentlemen, Jorge Navarro is not fooling around. This man transformed a medium quality recording (I own the DVD, I know) of a great show into something so delightful that anyone in their right mind (that's right) would have to consider it one of the top 10 most important and impressive musical documents of the 20th century. I'm not kidding, it's up there with the original rule-bending score of the Rite of Spring, with A Love Supreme, with Duke Ellington's American marriage of African and European influences, with the best work of Varèse, Berg, Ligeti, Messiaen, Reich, and all those other wonderful composers. Hats off to Jorge Navarro, all hail!

I am not critiquing at all, just pondering the music you rightly refer to as "unclassifiable stuff". Sure, metal. Why not? And regardless of classifications, FZ is the ultimate musical savant and master of every type of music, transcending genre boundaries and inventing several new ones all of which reflect his genius and skill In short, you're right: No one does it like Zappa!

@@michaelkottler Zappa specifically used metal as a reference. You might know about his hand signal system? He had hand signals for things like reggae, ska, and other things, and one of them was metal (he would mime "big balls" for it). Is it "straight" metal? Of course not! It wouldn't be Zappa if it were. Now, I know metal fans can be touchy about that kind of thing. God forbid you confuse death metal with black metal or something, but as a reference for a particular type of sound, I think it applies.

I am 20 years old as of writing, and Zappa is one of my dad's favorites. I also did a pop culture research paper on him and how much he had contributed to the counterculture movements (which was a lot). The most inspiring thing he did, I believe, was getting young adults educated on registering to vote. This is what America needs to focus on more if they want government to be run OUR way. But I digress, all I am trying to say is that Zappa really did do a lot of things to be hailed a hero on untouched ideas of his time. My generation needs a Zappa. A Frank Zappa.

Wow! Been into Zappa for 20+ years but I still discover new things. New arrangements, new takes on songs and so on. So many gems here. Ike Willis, what a legend.

He brought rock, jazz, and pop to savant music, as high as classic contemporary music. Genius here. And incredible musicians. Good show, and good sound here thank you.

Damn...I got sucked into Zappas world again....One of a Kind....The Great Musical hero...we got to witness... All the loyal hard work by the band members included...Peace Frank.

Jesus. He was a Full on virtuoso. His grip of timings and Keys and changes pu him up there with the best in all of history. It's not jazz. it's a Symphony. Luv and Peace. Zappa Should be remembered forever. Luv and Peace.

In a way, it’s kind of a jazz opera?

La música de Zappa es una celebración atemporal.

I always smile and laugh when I hear Zappa.

I had always enjoyed a few jams here and there but this year I finally became a fan of Frank Zappa. I can't stop listening, it is just the best. Ike Willis is my new hometown hero (St. Louis).

By far some of Frank's best guitar playing!

A 68 ans ... j'ai vu 22/23 concerts de Frank Zappa dans ma vie et ce depuis "Hot Rats" ... Je peux dire que si l'on me demandait de classer ces 22/23 concerts par ordre de qualité, j'en serais parfaitement incapable tant la QUALITÉ et LA PERFECTION sont là à chaque fois !.. La seule chose que je peux dire c'est que lors d'un concert inoubliable en 1982 à Paris, Porte de Versailles, nous sommes sortis à la fin du concert et avons décidé de reprendre des billets pour le second concert qui avait lieu moins d'une heure après la fin du premier ... Nous avons donc assisté à ce second concert et quelle ne fût pas notre surprise d'assister à une représentation totalement différente de la première ... décors différents bien sûr ... mais SURTOUT aucun des morceaux joués dans ce second concert ne l'avaient été dans le premier ... il n'y avait AUCUN DOUBLON !.. et À NOUVEAU nous assistions à une représentation UNIQUE EN QUALITÉ, pour laquelle il serait impossible d'émettre une quelconque critique à moins d'être d'une malhonnêteté crasse !.. TOUT ÉTAIT TOUJOURS PARFAIT AVEC FRANK ZAPPA !.. LA PERFECTION À L'ÉTAT PUR !..

Jamais pu voir une seule fois Zappa en concert, à mon très grand regret. Quel choc d'apprendre sa mort 2 ans après avoir commencé à l'avoir écouté sérieusement. Quelle claque monumentale que sa musique, même si j'adore aussi d'autres compositeurs de jazz (Corea par ex). Mais Zappa était et restera un musicien hors-norme du 20e siecle.

damn, this whole concert moves me seriously

This is music from another planet. Absolutely unmatched. Hope there will be such a genius again someday.

@@MarkAvatar2012 And I never would say that. Miles is listed on Franks 1st album ‘Freak Out’ as one of the people who influenced Frank. It’s been a long time since I quoted on this topic. Of course he isn’t the only musical genius of the 20th century. But I haven’t seen anyone (and please by all means I’m all ears) who has done more in so many aspects of his art. From classical/conducting, rock, avant-garde, jazz, self taught, film work, conceptual continuity, constant touring to keep the project going, satire, free speech, outstanding guitarist, one of the best. The man could do it all. He was just getting started. And most respected, no drugs except cigarettes and caffeine. Anyway. ‘Frank wasn’t the best at what he did, he was the only one who did what he did.’ (Sorry, quote stolen from Bill Graham about the Grateful Dead).

I think this has got to be my favorite live musical performance ever recorded. Zappa is an absolute legend, totally underrated and an exquisite genius in so many ways. Possibly the funniest guy around in his day and he influenced so many incredible musicians, bringing out the best in their character and playing ability. What a band! Don't personally think they will ever truly be beaten. Utterly, breathtakingly incredible!

@@absolutelypositively It's a bit of a stretch to say 'everybody' underrated him and 'most' people don't understand genius. Frank is famous and highly regarded as a guitarist and composer. Several books , thousands of articles and interviews, films and documentaries and he is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. There are so many talented people playing his music now highlighting his mastery of melody and rhythm. But there is so much music in the world and if people don't like what they hear there is tons of other stuff to listen to. No need for anyone to be rated or underrated, whatever that means. I have loved Zappamusic for over 50 years. I know people who like what he does and some people who could care less. That's how it goes.

@@alancumming6407 Perhaps it’s that Frank certainly didn’t get half the credit he should have. I’m not far behind you in years I’ve loved his music(48) and have seen him 17 times, met him twice, once in of all places a ‘Holiday Inn’ in of all places ‘Baltimore!’ Met the band and Cap Beefheart too. Spring 1975 I was16 and it was my 3rd FZ concert. It’s all good. I agree with you. I guess I wish he was seen as the genius he was as opposed to the weird guy on the toilet seat. Maybe it’s better that way though. We’re not done with FZ though. The Black Page will see to that.

What a wonderful band // we love you frank !!!!! You are probably in another dimension by now

The best Zappa live I have ever heard!

Auch all die Jahre später immer noch umwerfend: Ein genialer Komponist, Texter und Arrangeur und eine Bande von unfassbar talentierten Musikern, die es mit hohem Wiedererkennungswert umsetzen. Für die Ewigkeit gemacht!

Absolutely great the show. I saw Zappa 6 days earlier, in the Hallenstadion Zurich, in Switzerland.

Timeless. I always come back to this performance.

First time I've ever seen Frank play keyboard live.

Amazing -Zappa orchestra best music.. guitar playing sound incredible

Saw this band perform at the Brighton Center epic,, we had traveled down from Scotland just over 1000 mile round trip,, so glad we chose to do it , this was to be my only chance to see a Zappa Band on tour,, sadly he never toured to the U.K. again

Damn that was awesome. Man I wish we still had an artist like this.
