    25 October, 1969.
    Frank Zappa’s jam with Pink Floyd
    "That was after the Mothers [of Invention] had broken up, and y'know, I had time on my hands," Zappa said several years later. "These people contacted me. They offered me $10,000 to be an emcee at a festival, all expenses paid, and go over there, and, y'know, whatever I wanted to do, and I said, 'Fine.' So, I get there, and they neglected to tell me that nobody spoke English."
    They did, however, speak the international language of music (sorry, that was corny)-so Zappa made a point of jamming with several acts on the bill, including Aynsley Dunbar and Pink Floyd. Oddly enough, even though the video below shows Zappa on stage with Roger Waters, David Gilmour and the rest of Pink Floyd, Zappa had no recollection of the jam session. It must've been one hell of a music fest.

    Pink Floyd: Tripping on acid; years later they still remember this jam.
    Frank Zappa: Only inhaled nicotine; completely forgot that he ever jammed with them.

      @Fraktal Bear But why would that make him forget this jam? If you said he jammed 23 hours a day with thousands of bands that would make sense. But if he was mostly in the studio, then surely his rare live jams would stand out in his memory?

      Pink Floyd guys probably played 3-4 hours a day to compose new material and record, or to rehearse for tour. Zappa probably played 10 hours a day his entire life.

      Well they where not, because their work they did was really work. The worked very concentrated on every detail of their music. You can't do that under massive influence of drugs. That does not mean they don't use drugs as well, to be creative sometimes. It's like if you like to drink a glass of wine or two, or smoke a joint on a party, to be a bit more relaxed and feel good, but not on work. Or if you destroy your life by drinking every day and be drunk or stoned at 10:00am. Like a Jimi Hendrix, a Janis Joplin a Eddie van Halen or many others.

      Knowing Zappa’s musical proclivities as well as I do, I am certain that he found himself horrified to be jamming on a one chord song with a bunch of pretentious British art school wankers with a very limited bassist and drummer (and I love pre DSOTM Pink Floyd). This is a type of music that Zappa would have mercilessly lambasted in a composition. Zappa enjoyed complex, structured songs with strange time signatures and jazz chord voicing, backed by virtuosic sidemen. Frank Zappa was a legendarily proficient polymath on guitar, and the lame, half-hearted fretting that he shows with this performance betrays his state of mind.

    The problem here was Zappa’s jamming genius is best played within certain musical note relationships and melodic riffing, while Pink Floyd’s early psychedelic trip jamming was a lot of acid inspired impressionistic noise art. Zappa probably didn’t trip so he was limited with what he could do to relate although he still does fine it’s interesting to see him out of his element a little.

      Ween Fain - I get what you're saying, as I've seen Frank left off lists he certainly should've been on, or higher on the list. My opinion of Zappa is that not only was he a guitar wizard, he was also a certifiable "musical genius". Most people who "think" they know music will list Hendrix (of course), Clapton, Jeff Beck (if they're smart) then list guitarists like Slash, Angus Young, Joe Perry, etc. because of name recognition. Of course Slash, Angus, Perry, etc, are great guitarists, but most people who AREN'T guitarists or in the industry don't automatically think of people like Zappa, Knopfler, Gary Moore, Frampton, Gilmour, Buckingham, etc. (just to name a few) when thinking of "Greatest Guitarists", when indeed they are. For instance, Bowie thought enough of Frampton to have him as the guitarist for his "Glass Spider" tour, which says a lot, not to mention his work with Humble Pie and his solo stuff. Just ignorant people, that's all. And yeah, Pink Floyd was waaaay high at that gig. LOL!

    I live just near Amougies, the village where this concert took place. This festival no longer exists but, funny thing, I did my first gig at the same place where my favourite bands of all time played 🤩
