Directly from my heart to you : diotibenedica !!! :)
Well said br1tag. I bought the Roxy Box recently and am so happy I did. Love this line-up so much, and they perform so masterfully yet playfully. One thing that strikes me is how seemingly calm Frank remained under the pressure and expense of filming.
holy shit man...and I thought I was a big fan of Zappa with 80 albums or so ( back in the day when all this digital content was not available). Hands down to you master. And thank you for all this marvelous music of
Frank Amadeus Mozart Zappa.
Cheers!
This collection of solos from the Roxy is a definite must for a Frank Zappa enthusiast!
I need to add this boxed set to my collection of Zappa discs.
I THANK YOU MUCH for this download as I do appreciate the music of F.Z. and the talented musicians who have played with him.
Why no More Trouble Everyday?, If you know.
Frank has it all! Speed, technique, melody. Absolute excellence.
The greatestt ever in my opinion no one can touch frank!
nahh i doo ...
ah crud ...uh...my dog
i hope shes alright
You forgot that one little thing … “touch” great post my fellow devotee… AND … that “touch” is at 29:30 … ABSOLUTE PERFECTION …okay I am a bit …. b i a s s e d …. I am entering into my GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY … 50 years …
And I am here right now LISTENING still … on my dead bed I can only hope…
This guy was off the charts outa left field. Genius! Life would be shit without Zappa in it!
In the second Montana solo take, Frank is wearing the "München" t-shirt. Love it, saw him twice in Munich back in the eighties. Frank Zappa was really big in Germany, three cities in Germany have streets named after Fank Zappa.
Steve Vai said that Franks music was the treasure for the guitar player who discovers it.
I think some thing that I almost never see in Br1tags comment section, but deserves to be there is his mixing. All of his edits between the solos is seamless, like all of these cuts could have been an official release.
Best compilation of FZ solos I've ever heard!
How the hell can anyone give this a thumbs down???
People who doesn't know anything about sarcastic music 😬
Coz them silly fools has their ears on backwards, and you should not worry your correctly adjusted ears 1 bit bout em, as them will not change, and is plenty capable to be carry on being silly, without you worrying.. ;-)
But yes.. one wonders why !
ANYTHING ANYWHERE
ANYTIME
FOR
NO
REASON
AT
ALL
This here Zappa feller seems like he might know his way around a guitar some
Seems he mite like those French fried taters
He could also play a mean bicycle!😉👌👍✌😈😂
Thompson and Humphrey’s team is sick....
Frank was definitely his best when jamming on the guitar!
Frank would say that soloing was the only time during a performance that he could shut his eyes and let the band go on autopilot and he was able to drift off into sololand.
I bought my first Frank Zappa album when I was fifteen (Zoot Allures) which was back in 1975. From that year until today I always return to his music from time to time and still discover new aspects of his incredible work. I love this man and his music. In the eighties I saw him twice live in concert in my hometown Munich which were both fantastic performances.
Now you must do the same to his other box sets. I was attracted, as a teen, to Zappa's lyrics and humor, but it is his instrumental jams that have kept me around 50 years later.
Some of the truly great solos he's ever done, 73& 74
I devour all things Zappa. I only had the pleasure of seeing him once in '77 but have seen Dweezil several times. Moon is coming out with a memoir soon and i can wait to hear the stories she has about growing up in that house.
im 23 years old and listen to zappa since im born, see dweezil in paris in 2019. thx to my dad. thx very much br1tag for your magic youtube channel. RIP franck, rip my dad
Incredible.It was the second best performance out of nine shows I saw over the years.Philly 76 is great also,my first Zappa show and my first concert I just turned 14 Oct 25 the show was Oct 28.
U must listen to Zappa Tower Theatre 1980.There are two shows I was at the second show,that show was
Tower Theatre 1980 second show Best of Zappa.
First heard Zappa way back in the 1960s who blew the Beatles out of the water with the Freak out LP. I now compose music and always find Zappa inspirational.
Frank Zappa is one of the best musicians of his era (and ours) if not the best. He was a great guitarist and a great composer. What I never understood is that no matter of what guitar he uses - Gibson SG, Gibson Les Paul, or Fender Stratocaster, he always sounds... well like Zappa! Fantastic! and thans a lot for this wonderful collection of solos!!! I really don't understand how some people dare saying that Zappa was a bad soloist! Well, de gustibus...
i loved the lineup he had at that time. ralph, tom, bruce, nepolian, ruth, george, chester. they did awesome things with frank.
This is so tasty! And after all these years, and by his own words, I'm finally realizing that he was really a blues guitarist in the end.
He's a Genius ~ very nice Mix
THIS collection is way better than the official Roxy Shows which are very disjointed with much talking. I love Frank and if I am to listen to him over and over again the guitar is great and the banter should be only a one time distraction. Repeated banter is a clever way to sell but it is not music and you only need to hear it once. GBG NO EDITS.
Thank you thank you thank you for sharing this. You brought joy to an otherwise dreary evening. I am digging this.
Killer assemblage of rippage! My fave Zappa solo era. Sir, you have done the Lord's work here. One of my favorite YT videos ever!
This Rocks! Thanks for spending the time editing...
Agreed! I actually enjoyed this solo compilation much more than the complete Roxy Performances box set. Mucho thanks to br1tag!
Agreed. - way better.
Roxy & elsewhere, my first encounter with Frank. I’ve enjoyed this guy’s incredible talent ever since. Cheers!!
Zappa had style, density, and unlimited quantity. There are great guitar players out there but none ever reached the level of Frank. Nice job br1tag. Very nice blend.
He was and still is the best
Hands down.
Thanks for your service to humanity.
Awesome. Thanks again for taking the time to put this out there!
wish i could listen to nothing but Z solos every waking minute...I bet this is what's playin over the PA all the time in heaven..well..mine anyway..thank you sir for posting this wonderful compilation.
Fabulous collection...
I am a great fan of Zappa impro .
This is perfect for me.
Great job.
I discovered the music of Frank Zappa in the mid 90's when I was 15, listened to 'Läther' and got hooked immediately ! I could not believe what I was hearing, all these different musical dimensions that man had created... 'RDNZL', 'Down in the Dew', 'Filthy Habits', 'The Chrome-Plated Megaphone of Destiny', 'San Berdino', Uncle Meat', etc, etc... It is a neverending quest through the infinite genius of Frank Zappa ! Each album has got its own unique color of genius and is a piece of the puzzle of his 'conceptual continuity' ! Each album is an exciting discovery... Vive Frank Zappa !
Welcome newbie.😊
Zappa always played in a distinctive style. His leads usually had a beginning, climax, and ending. His ability to group instruments into a fine composition was simply amazing. The sounds produced were sometimes a one of a kind. They never get old.
They need to put Frank Zappa's most brilliant solos and some amazing live music on repeat and have it blasted through outer space if there is Life as We Know It out there Frank will be the connection. There's no way that any other life-form in the vastness of outer space will be able to ignore Frank Vincent Zappa's music
Magnifique ! Quel créativité ! quel volcan ! quel génie !!
Been washing and waxing my MGB. Loving this music
This is absolutely wonderful I saw Frank a lot up and down the east coast I just think he is one of the greatest players of all time taught me a lot
This is really good.
Bruno my friend, this collection is ASTUTE. This guitar was so sweet, and the band, man... any band with George, Ruth, Napoleon, Chester, Ralph and Bruce is an instant candidate for "The Best Band That You... exetera. A treasure
@udiseus - Caro udi, I always enjoy hearing from you. I wish you all the best.
🎯
I was lucky enough to seee Frank live 3 Times. I met the Fowler Brothers, and learned a lot of the back stories. He was a legend, and I feel sorry for people who don't realize his legacy on music.
Wow! Thanks for sharing!
Whom may dislike this genius? The only reason we sell anything on this planet is because majority of the world is comprised of stupid people... God drops needle on this stuff
Not only are his solos incredible, but just listen to that fantastic percussion!! The present day composer refuses to die.
Well it's official! You are a FORCE Br1,a cultural influence! I read lots of comments. These people remark on genius,best ever,unequaled. It takes a keen ear as well as an educated ear. He has a Doctorate in music Theory,Dr. And a physical ability to put it all together. Not many with such a plethora!!!
Happy to have seen two of these shows!
I keep comin back to this set...just had the neighbours ask me to turn it down..a first for everything.I was outside stargaizing..
Zappa is not dead ,just smell funny,thank for your great job .
Thanks to lifelong fan from Ireland Frank lives on in our hearts and minds.
Best Zappa band constellation ever...each and every bandmember a genious...great googelymoogely grande marveloso...😈🎶🎸🎼💪👍👍👍
He didn't have to shoutout Marty on the smoke machine, but he did, because Zappa lived for the smoke machine.
Hahaha, who doesn’t??
I heard he would always say............MORE SMOKE MACHINE,WE NEED MORE SMOKE MACHINE!😉
Zappa's ability to always improvise is the stuff of legends!
Ah . . love this - this is my favorite of his many great bands and his sound and playing is fantastic here.
HELL YESS!!! Thank you so much for putting this together. Makes my workday SO much more enjoyable.
Zappa at the Roxy...😮❤❤❤❤
Great year for Frank and great band !!!
Thank u!!
From Marseille 🇨🇵
The guitar tone is absolute perfection
Butthole Dan I agree... this is that dream tone I want!
Real music is the best
Thanks, a good accompaniment to The Hot Rats sessions.
Had several chances to catch this lineup never failed to be killed.
mi Padre me puso Frank en homenaje, fue y es el coleccionista Argentino mas tozudo de se haya conocido, no habla otro idioma que el zappiano, su coleccion apabulla, discos, cassettes, magazines, masters, un camion lleno, zappa vivio 52 años, pero dejo grabaciones para 1000 años mas
Great quality recording too.
Holy shit. This is SO GOOD.
THANK YOU!!!
This is one of the best collections of Frank's solos I've heard.
By far, the best guitar player ever. Move over Jimi, let Frank take over!
Frank is best ever
mmm, you´ve created a 'shut up´n play yer guitar - the roxy version', big thanks for this. can´t stop listening.
🥰 more love for Zappa.
First I saw Frank was about 6 weeks after this show. Same band plus add Walt Fowler. All these shows were great.
Fantastic Frank. Nice assortment and arrangement.
Br1tag, I seriously love you. You are simply amazing for all the wonderful content you share. I appreciate and admire all your hard work
Thanks Chunga Nanook!
Listening to Zappa playing guitar is exhilarating. Every single time.
Very good work, incredible source and quality. Never heard better really.
Frank Zappa.............. ❤️Fra i più bravi chitarristi della storia è unico nel suo genere. Io amo ZAPPA FRANK
This is unbelievably segued! The time and patience it took for you to do this is amazing!! Thanx much!!!
Fantastic set list. Always fun to find some new Frank tracks
Thanks again for all these great collections.
what a selection! thank you!
So glad I found your site. Thank you for the time and effort you put in to your creations. Such a nice way to spend the evening, with FZ always in the background
Outstanding. Thank you! Excellent mix!
Zappa was always entertaining. His solos contained melodies often off beat and not out of the box and he pretty much improved his solos almost every single time so it was different every single show, as you can hear across all of the Roxy shows.
Very nice work mixing these separate solos! The transitions are done so well, you hardly notice a song has changed.
So good. Frank is a huge influence!
The real king !!!
Heavenly mining the gibson-coin
Great Band thank you FRANK Zappa
yes, thx again. another pearl. great guitar solos in that era. the era and style i like the most.
To Tony Michaelides from Manchester... I have always known how good Frank was. Rocked my mind !
Zappa never gave in. Stood for what he beleived.
thanks for this collection... sometimes approaching him from different angles can give a totally new tone to the experience
thank you so much for doing this. have been a fan since a child. can't afford the box just yet, this is why this is so valuable to me. i would want to further say it does not make me want to buy the said box set any less as soon as i can, but at least when some say "Zappa, really, why?" i can then say "yeah, see.."...
Forget the box set this is way better.
Zapa's on my ancestry tree ❤
so liberating and unique 👍👍 frank- my favourite
Indeed, liberating and unique is exactly what it is, spot on!
Under headphones now while writing 5 weeks of menus. Just groovin' baby...
