Very unique dude, no drugs allowed regardless of whether you were the best guitar player he had ever seen. I ain’t saying that this is all peaceful and flower but they were clean. Frank Zappa was far more than just a guitarist he was a groundbreaking composer, bandleader, and the creative force behind the entire ensemble,using his vast musical knowledge to adapt every instrument within the group. His work spanned over 30 years, during which he composed music across a variety of genres, including rock, pop, jazz, jazz fusion, orchestral etc.. He was not only involved in the writing and arranging of the music but also produced almost all of the over 60 albums he released, either with his band, The Mothers of Invention.

      Absolutely, John Lennon was not legendary and heroic as people make him out to be. He wasn't all that intelligent He and Paul McCartney didn't write many of the songs attributed to them, and actually ever played only few of them. He wasn't much of a musician, actor, filmmaker, husband, or father. He didn't really care about the Beatles Or their legacy in any meaningful way, ever that I can tell . He didn't have an extraordinary amount of influence on musicians in his time. I seen here with Frank and you'll also hear about from Chuck Berry and how Yoko ruined there performance together. And of course the basic way he just was yoko's bitch from when they met until he was dead, And she's a pretty terrible person also. In fact I don't recall anything that I've ever seen of John Lennon that shows him to be anything other than an.ass.

    Lennon then released a song from that tape with yoko. Original taping was King Kong, Lennon released it as Jamrag. Probably stolen on behalf of john n yoko to avoid zappa trying to claim rights to the song.

      It seems like someone from Paul and John’s camp executed that retrieval of the tapes. No way would Paul want those tapes being produced and sold to undercut the Apple records licensing.

      Horrible, for someone to steal that tape. Sounds like it might have been an inside job, though. Someone who knew Frank or John and thus realized the value of the tapes.

      Zappa also hated the recording and didnt particularly care for Lennon or Yoko as musicians, when they released their version they had changed the recording in ways Zappa absolutely hated because of how it treated the other musicians that were present.

"I used to listen to the Mother's of Invention when I was five years old because of my parents!!!!!"... And Frank said "what did they MAKE you listen?" .... and Henry was like no no no and Frank said I know what you mean......I have a copy of Fillmore East 71 that I already had signed by Flo and Eddy and Don Preston and he signed that for me..... it's hanging on the wall in my studio

    Luckily we have the Playground Psychotics and the 1971 box set to peek back at the show. It’s neat for sure, but the Lennon and Yoko bit was only a glorified jam. The real gasp moment on the 1971 box is the end of the Rainbow show, knowing what happened to poor Frank.
