Wait, you saw her move? Where did that happen? Before or after the sing-along? Jerry Garcia was absolutely right about audience participation.

She has obviously studied and totally internalized Frank's style. I'd SWEAR that was actually Frank playing. Amazing.

Not only do I love how Rachel channels Keith Emerson's music, but she does the same with Frank Zappa's ! She is so brilliant !

I love that every time Dweezil comes in during the exchanges with Rachel, he references what she played. Definite hand-off happening and she did it sometimes too. You can feel the appreciation and attention to detail. (as opposed to the usual shred fest kind of stuff). The vocal break was ridiculous too. Too much fun!!! Wonderful performance.

Ten years ago I found an organ on the curb. Pushed it home on my skateboard. Drove my neighbors insane with it. Been watching organ videos ever since. Stumbled across flowers playing my favorite zappa song. The world is a small place full of wonder.

Rachel is such a gifted musician she is amazing on piano and keyboards but didn't know she was as talented on the the guitar she has kept Keith Emerson's spirit alive with her keyboards now with franks on guitar 🎸 truly a very special person

Four words come to mind... Frank would love this

That phrasing from Rachel's solo was just simply amazing. And then her vocal gymnastics made my jaw drop.

The most amazing thing is that Rachel manages to get the full range of Franks slurs and messiness whilst using a flat (almost bass like) picking style. Her left and right hands are doing things that I've never seen anyone else do.

@markhammer643

Yep, she absolutely nails Frank's style and sensibility. If I close my eyes while she's playing, I can see Frank, shirtless, hair tied back, bobbing his head the way he would when he was having a fantastic time on the guitar. Kinda makes you think about how much is gained when you *don't* grow up thinking about music in terms of videos.

She's doing it all "WRONG", and it sounds great! I wondered the other day, "Why doesn't she use a pick?". Then it struck me, I misplace and lose my picks all the time. Those thin, tiny things must be a pain to keep track of when you're blind. Django Reinhardt did some weird but cool stuff with just two fingers working in his left hand.

Dweezil, who spent his childhood among the best musicians on the planet, looks really impressed here. Rachel is from Saturn and that's a fact, but I tell you, to impress that man is not an easy job. What a band this was... And the guy on the left really sounds like Frank, gee!!

Gosh, everytime I come back and watch this her solo brings tears to my eyes. Her channel is so pure and clear that it's as if Frank and herself share hands for a beautiful moment in time. As if the universe constructed this moment to give Frank a chance to play Live again with his Son and vice-versa through the wonderful medium that is Rachel. Thank you for all the people involved for bringing us a wonderful moment of musical history.

I loved it how her faced from highly concentrated to enjoying herself immensely and then back to concentrated again. Like there was this mentalwar "This is awesome, CON-CEN-TRATE, ... but this is awesome!"

OMG, balling like a baby. Miss Zappa so much to here this really hits me in a spot where it hurts. So sad to have lost him. Such a incredible Musician. He has to be the greatest Rock musician of all time. He has to be. All his musical accomplishments are there to prove that. So, I would say underrated. Miss understood for sure. Those last years with Napoleon and Duke were off the chart talent. Those live show were amazing. So a big fan and really miss being able to see him live and in person.

This blows me away... 😳🎶🎶🎶 It's more than enough to see her play Kieth Emerson's work.. But ZAPPA too..???!!! This is just TOO MUCH fun...❣❣👍 What sheer DELIGHT..❤❤

She's unbeleivable! Let's just say Frank would be proud of such an awesome performance!"

Rachel is just so amazing! She's like a sponge and soaks up the music. One of the most amazing performances I've seen!

Another definition for music...Rachel Flowers 🌹

OMG! She PLUCKS the strings like a bass! I am so impressed with this young lady! She plays keys like a total pro as well!

Excellent musicianship ...I hope Rachel is enjoying the success she so deserves

2:04 Dweezil subtly moves in to turn her volume up without upstaging her. Sweet and professional, all in one. She’s amazing!

What a beautiful conversation they have on Guitar.

Hearing such an amazing talent as Rachel playing (and singing!) Franks music is a joy. Thank you, Rachel. Whether it's Zappa, ELP or Boston music you clearly do rock, lady!!!

So good i had to roll it back and watch it again

That was just fantastic!!! I am just learning about her!! I had no idea she played guitar as well! Good Lord!!

Wow....Rachel was awesome!! What a great tune to play to as well!

Hot damn, she's good. One of the best Montana solos Ive ever heard. She is amazing.

Being a gigantic Zappa fan from the mid 60's. Rachel nails Frank's solo really great Zappa would be very proud.

Her technique is different, but somehow Rachel is able to really capture Frank's sound, feel, phrasing, and tone!?!! Then shefollows up with that notoriously challenging vocal. She's a mind boggling instrumentalist and performer. Such a joy to hear this. Viva Zappa!!

Incredible performance on guitar and vocals Rachel, I am impressed!

Rachel got her yippee yi yo ti yay on!!! Uncle Frank would be so very proud.

Saw Frank When Dweezil was only 8... I'm so happy he's keeping Franks music alive...He's a monster axe man too... With Stevie Vai and Frank as teachers, you're bound to be a beast! Great band!...I've loved Rachel for about 10 years now. Her sister and I have traded some comments...Her ELP stuff is very heart warming...

Rachel and Zappa! As good as it gets! ❤️👍🙋‍♂️🖖🏻

Im speechless of how much emotion this music made me feel

Thank you Rachel!!!!

OMG! I am so glad I clicked on this video today!

6:30 extremely hard riffs, all sung in tune. amazed.

so good to see that people very different to Frank are real, authentic and so enjoyable ... bless you Rachel and the whole band

I'd been a fan of her organ videos for years, and had no idea she played guitar too. Absolutely unbelievable talent and skill. Genius. And I've never heard anyone nail Frank's style like she can.
