BTW, anyone know if any of Zappa's albums
contained mosly ballad type instrumentals, like the closing song on part 6
of 6 of the video ? From: Qua Veda [mailto:qua@oregon.com] Sent: Friday, June 22, 2007 4:19 PM To: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com Subject: RE: Zappa, and homework for the weekend. Thanks for this thread and the opportunity to see the
documentary. Wow. heartbreaking, inspiring, mind
blowing.
I got to see him when his band included the big guy from
the Turtles - what a voice!. Rushed the stage and got to sit close up
before getting tossed out ;-)
I'm going to have to get back into his music.

midifriedchicken@comcast.net [mailto:midifriedchicken@comcast.net] This morning while paying bills and cleaning the house,
and I put on "You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore Volume II' The Helsinki
Concert". Now THAT was a band. Ruth, George, Napoleoen et. al. were
killing it that
night. That concert was at the end of the same tour as the Fillmore album. I
guess they were bored because every tune was very
fast. I sometimes forget why I play music, then I hear a
performance like that, and it clears my head.
So, for the good of all your loopy heads, I want all of
you to listen to a Frank Zappa album this weekend, or maybe just a song, or
check out all the great old videos on YouTube. Report back on Monday with what
you listened to and your impressions of said music. It will be good for you.
