    As an old man now, a life long Zappa devotee, these talented young things nailed it down. Hat's off to you and the prof that made it happen. Salute to you for passing on musical genius. This was excellent Frank.

      It's an improvement on the original... so much joi de vivre from every player... They're all whipping it out...

    One of my favorite versions of this song. I was just listening to some of Frank’s live stuff and had to come back and listen to this again. Hope to visit Hilo again one day and check them out in person.

    Been a fan of FZ for decades. Putzing around on CZcams and I found this. Props to the musicians and to those that introduced them to FZ.

    I enjoyed this. I have to say that pygmy twilite is my favourite zappa tune. I saw him when i was 12 and later saw dweezil and ray white with zpz.
    I have to say the cuts from 1973 and 74 of PT are my favourite. the guitar on live in helsinki 1974 is high fidelity and awesome.
    the orchestra is pretty great in general.
    The bass player is pretty fantastic in my opinion. I was watching you dude. I enjoyed both drummers too. Both technically on point and with their own nuances.
    my musician intuition tells me the keyboard player is really into this tune. sometimes you go away to a place in a room full of sounds.
    music is transcendent.

    The helsinki concert arrangement, respect. The vocal interlude at 2:36 is a bit dissapointing, but trying to mimic the sounds Napolean made is a weeeeeee bit tough to do, lmao. Thanks for uploading!

    Super performance from the whole band! Especially the vocal performance was really exceptional! But I hate the guitar solo - it's way too long. Almost half of the song plays this young man and all have to wait until he has delivered his private show - I do not understand. Not even Frank Zappa played such excessive solos... boring!
    And my dear "WORSTXB1PLAYER Tyler Tee H C" I don't think Frank would have loved this!

    • @jaycurlee
      @jaycurlee  Před 2 lety +1

      Well, Dieter, these are kids who are being introduced to this music by a great teacher. I'd cut them some slack. Frank's son actually came to their Zappa tribute show the following year and supports them. Best, Jay
