He has so much knowledge about music

I saw Zappa in 75 and it changed my life. Everything I had been listening too had lost something after that. Can't explain it. The Roxy album is pure magic. Side two maybe the best 17 minutes you'll ever hear. What that band could do...just wow.

Roxy is amazing! I would say side 2 is the best 17 minutes I've heard but then side 3 follows it up with what I think is an even better 17 or so minutes of music! Son of orange county -> more trouble every day gets me everytime!

The Zappa reissues are KING. Sound every bit as good as the originals, maybe even better!

I started Zappa with Tinseltown and You are what you is. Changed my life forever.

Because of you Mike I found Porcupine Tree and Steven Wilson and I am FOREVER grateful. Steven Wilson is one of the most talented musicians alive

I'd also like to see a video on Mike's old vinyl and the system he plays his records on, but also his Box sets.

Lets wish Mike a really long life which is prerequisite for listening ALL THIS music...

My Dad saw The Who live in LA in 1972. He was laid over there for a few hours so decided to leave the airport. He saw they were playing so just rocked up, bought a ticket at the door and went in. I am forever jealous of him!!

Nobody: Mike Portnoy: "Pete Townsend loves me!"

Re: Amy Winehouse - It’s funny how documentaries work that way. I was not a Beatles fan until I saw the Anthology documentary.

A Good Way To Start Getting into Zappa is to start At the beginning. Buy His Albums Chronologically as they were released. Buy one Release A week. And In 2 YEARS you will Almost Have Everything....

Coming back here after three months of Mike posting this video. Going blind on his talk on the Zappa albums, I went from non to thirteen albums. Brilliant stuff. Only missing Joe's Garage of the albums Mike showed. Thanks. I love Zappa now!

"Hey there people I'm Bobby Brown...they say I'm the cutest boy in Town......"

So happy I got to see Steven Wilson live with that lineup. Marco Minnemann and Guthrie brought in another dimension with their playing. The ending on Ancestral really doesn't sound the same without Minnemann.

Absolutely loved this series Mike! Thanks for doing this!

One Size Fits All was the one that kicked open the door for me. The solo in Inca Roads should be on the same level as Comfortably Numb. But every song is top shelf. Great musicianship. High creativity.

Just had that record on the other day it's amazing. Andy is another great one on there. Love jazz fusion stuff so I tend to prefer that from Zappa but I like it all even the doo-wop stuff which many don't like.

I was going to comment something very similar. While Joe's Garage is what got me into Zappa, it's OSFA and this era of Zappa that is my favorite. The high level of musicianship, the compositions, the improvisation and it also still has that Zappa left field humor. My friends all know I'm a huge Zappa fan, and when they ask for recommendations on where to start, One Size Fits All is what I suggest.

I love all periods of Frank's music but his jazz fusion work in the 70s is my favorite. Waka/Jawaka in particular I feel doesn't get enough praise. Big Swifty is magical.

At last!!! Thank you Mike. I love your vinyl run-throughs.

I discovered Jellyfish from here too and now spilt milk is one of my favorite albums. Another big discover is Fishbone. What a great show, thank you Mike!

I am always blown away by how you explain every detail of each album in your collection. This is like a music class for me.

Frank Zappa BIG HERO! He did a ziljon records, i also like Zappa in the 80:s. You should do a Zappa special! Dangerous kitchen, moving to Montana, now i have to do a Zappa marathon

What a treasure. Thank you for taking us through your incredible collection. I really enjoyed this, Mike. It is so human and beautiful. You’re a good man.

Thank you so much Mike, you're a real fan of all of this, hearing you about Yes and FZ tells us all how much you're in, wonderfull !

I'm more surprised that Mike has his stuff organized so thoroughly! Great collection!

This series was so cool, always cool to see how much respect and enthusiasm Mike has for the giants that came before him and his contemporaries.

Even if it's 5, 10, 15 years from now. I would love to see you go through your old vinyl, CDs and 8-tracks. Maybe when you're semi retired :) thanks for that great series Mike. I could listen to you talk about 60s, 70s and 80s bands forever.

MP is my favorite drummer of all time. And he's a super cool human. Love this guy! Thanks, MP, for sharing your personal collection with us.

Every now and again people ask: - So, which Zappa album should I start with? And I answer: - I'd have to see your record collection before I can give you a recommendation....

Man, when I was about 9 years old you came to our local music store in Shreveport, LA for a clinic, my parents had dropped me off so I was there by myself. At one point you took questions from the audience and I raised my hand and (much to my embarrassment now) asked if you knew how to play "Wipeout" which was my favorite song at the time. You declined to play it so then I asked "..can I come play it?" You were very gracious, and super cool and you let me get up and play it. I never forgot that. Also I am right there with you on Zappa. 'Overnite Sensation' up to 'Joe's Garage' is my favorite period of FZ's

Let me say my wallet appreciated the delay in returning to complete this series. So many great recommendations....always dumbfounded asking myself...how could I have missed this group?! Thank you Mike!

Thank you for this journey during this pandemic time! Expanded my music horizons! Now I want to see you on the road!

Could listen to you all day Mike. Cheers.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

again Mike !! great to saw all the episodes. Thank you !! :-))

My favourite drummer :) Cool to hear you talking about music.

Thanks Mike for taking the time for your “final vinyl “ 🤘🏻

Great series that takes me on a lovely vinyl journey through the history of rock and other related music.

Great be waiting for this! Thanks!

Really enjoyed this series, thanks Mike!

Thanx a lot for Your Vinyl Collection Trip, Mike!

Just now finding these even though they were made a few years ago but these are a lot of fun. I love hearing Mikes stories about his idols and the bands he loves. His enthusiasm for music is so damn strong and infectious. It makes me want to buy a ton of music with money I don’t have.

amazing, mike. thanks for all the videos.

Great series Mike. Loved every second . Keep it comin🙏

Finally done! Thanks Mike, waiting on the episodes made the corona year shorter.

MIke please continue, that was a great series. Thanks!

loved every minute.

Thank you, mike 😊

UFO love 'em. Umphrey's McGee, yeah. Lots of good stuff.

Thank you for sharing your great knowledge. And the albums, they look like new.

I have to tell a great little story relaying to lots of the music mentioned here. I was lucky enough to be on the PN@S 2014 cruise; a big deal for me, a little South African prog fan. It was an absolutely surreal week, not least of all hearing Transatlantic and Jon Anderson playing Revealing Science live together...but even better was the fact that I was wearing a Frank Zappa wig and moustache at the show, and Mike himself pointed me out from the stage; I was in fanboy heaven. I finally plucked up the courage to go up and meet him after we had disembarked the ship at the end, and he remembered my Frank Zappa outfit and even showed me his Zappa tattoo on his leg. He was so chilled and friendly and I, in true fan fashion, was a complete bumbling idiot. Mike, it's been great watching this series!

I'll never forget getting to see you sing Bobby Brown in Toronto with ZPZ, amazing!

Nice! Zoot allures and one size fits all are my favorite albums of Zappa.

Clicked for the Zappa, stayed for the Portnoy bestowing Zappa release knowledge.

Thanks Mike greetings from Monterrey Mexico

Im here just because the zappa vinyls

wonderful collection !!! congrats.!!!

Excellent video Mike, i learned a lot (But then again, what can we do in the presence of a great master but learn?) Enjoyed a lot. Big hug Mike and thank you!

A Blue-ray and Special Edition series would be awesome! Really cool to learn all of this stuff!

I always recommend One Size Fits All - with Chester Thompson, George Duke and many more.

Excellent shirt!! Still have an original press of that album!!

I'll miss this series!!

I love you save me on the first winery dogs album! Very cool riff and awesome lyrics

Liked the video for the Zappa stuff. My hero too.

Really enjoy these. Kind of sad this is the last one. I love the video of Tommy from 1989. Quadrophenia is my favorite Who record. In 1996 I flew from Texas to NY to see them play Quadrophenia all the way through. Zack Starkey on drums. It was amazing. Thanks again for these videos.

saw that tour as well. Fortunate I got to see John Entwistle live.

As someone who’s favorite VH record is fair warning I can’t tell you how happy it made me to hear someone else give it the respect it’s due haha

Thank you 🙏🏻

This is the first one of the series that I caught and I loved it. Particularly Mike talking about The Who and Yes, which all brought back a lot of memories. Tommy was the Who album that first pulled me and made me a fan way back then too, but I was 12, not 2!!!!! lol Now I have to check out the first seven episodes!

Thanks Mike. Good reviews. Checking out Watchtower now.

What a wonderful reissue collection! Tks for share with us all of these details. Please, fell free to start another series about your records, it is very cool to see you talking so excited about your favorite records. Hugs from Brazil. Hope to see you and The Winery Dogs here soon.

I'VE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR YOU TO UPLOAD THIS!!! Also disappointed to hear your project with Sykes never materialised as that would have been awesome. What that man did on the 1987 Whitesnake album will live with me forever!

On point with all his comments 🙌🙌🙌 I agree with everything he said, specially the Zappa section

Thanks for the Zappa!

Fun video. Love the shirt, too!

Great Stuff Mike! I really like that Twisted Sister and Frank Zappa.

do all the series you want, we´ll be waitin' for it!

You have such great and diverse taste in music... loved going through your collection.

Hey Mike, thank you for enjoyable journey! Hope you will present your old vinyl collection someday! Or other musical stuff in your place? Rock on!

Apostrophe and Overnite were recorded in the same sessions.

thank you. Great series, truly a wonder of nature this urban predator.

Oh yeah, "Sheik Yerbouti" A classic, must have for any collection!

I'm utterly FLABBERGASTED that he talked about one of his favourite bands, listed what albums he's got and didn't even mention Who's Next?!?!? Arguably the greatest rock album of all time. EDIT (10 minutes later): Ha ha I typed that while he was banging on about Wilco. Then he brings back Who's Next, which I'd spotted the back of earlier, from behind the rack. WELL OF COURSE he had to talk about it!!!

Loved this series Mike! What I like most: you’re still such a fanboy :) So passionate about music! Saw you at the Vredenburg, Utrecht with DT in 1992

Awesome!!!

Knowing he loves power pop and so many other genres just makes me wanna listen even more to his feelings on different artists. Cool.

I absoltuely love DT and your other projects (heard you live a couple of times in Bulgaria too!) and in my opinion you are the best drum player of all time, but just you talking about music is the thing that inspires me the most to listen to and discover new artists... just incredible :) thanks for that.

Mike is a Drum GOD and he is in deepest LOVE with MUSIC

Awesome to see Watchtower coming by , saw them on the Control and Resistance tour in Nighttown Rotterdam, too bizarre.

Look forward to you re-doing this in a few years time! Cheers!...

Wow great you mentioned Watchtower! Great band!

I did not know the UFO live, thanks !

Awesome Mike

Really enjoyed these videos, Mike. I also really liked the videos you did on Sea of Tranquility, would love to see more of those sometime. Keep up the good work!

Please do any bonus series! I can listen to The Great Mike Portnoy talk about music all day any day!

Triggerfinger opened here in my hometown for Big Sugar. They were fantastic!

I'm from Indonesia. Succes for you brothers👍

Yes absolutely, UFO's "Strangers In The Night" one of the greatest live albums of all time! Probably my personal favorite.

Sheik Yerbouti was my first album I bought as a young teen. To this day I love the track Yo mama.

One Size Fits All just got re-released in the new pressings from Palais plant in Germany. Sounds fantastic. A must get.

If your favorite Prog or Metal band was also a Jamband they would sound like Umphrey’s McGee. Picture Metallica playing a 20 minute version of Sad but True complete with a crazy light show and a bunch of metal head hippies dancing around. I can’t think of any other band like them. Umphrey's McGee is an American jam band originally from South Bend, Indiana. The band experiments with many musical styles, including prog, rock, metal, funk, jazz, blues, reggae, electronic, bluegrass, and folk. They have toured regularly and released several albums. Just when you think you have them figured out they completely switch things up. They can play anything. Sometimes they play multiple styles of music all within the same song. Back in 2016 they released an album of Mashups. This was a concept that was started many years prier. It was something they did live that was eventually turned into a studio album called Zonkey. The first one they ever worked through -- a blend of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” and Pink Floyd’s “Another Brick in the Wall Pt. II”. Every summer the band plays 3 sold out shows at Red Rocks. During one of those shows they welcome Jason Bonham to join along for a full set of Led Zepp covers. Anchor Drops (2004) is the album that introduced most fans to the band.
