The 1974 band line-up kicked ass! (Best IMHO) I wasn't into the Flo and Eddie shit too much, except for the filmore east, 1971 show. (All groupies must bow down-in the steaming presence of the Latex Solar Beef)

I love Zappa Here's a good song which I think demonstrates how talented a guitarist he was.

I saw Zappa back in 73 (or maybe it was 72?) for the breathtaking sum of four bucks Canadian. An absolutely fantastic show.
He had pretty much the same musicians with him on that tour as he did for Roxy and Elsewhere -- Ruth and Ian Underwood, Jean Luc Ponty, Napolean Murphy Brock...
I remember it to this day. One of the most enjoyable concerts of my life, and I've seen pretty much ALL the big names from that era -- Santana, Steppenwolf, Jethro Tull, King Crimson, Springsteen, Fleetwood Mac, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Meat Loaf, Grand Funk, Yes, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Led Zeppelin, Elton John, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Pink Floyd, Uriah Heep, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Gentle Giant, Bob Dylan, Joe Cocker, Joni Mitchell, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Sly and the Family Stone, David Bowie, The Guess Who, Alice Cooper, Electric Light Orchestra, Pink FLoyd, Genesis (with and without Peter Gabriel), Peter Tosh, Bob Marley, Joan Armatrading, Ravi Shankar, PFM, Roxy Music....
...and a whole bunch more I can't remember now. But that Zappa concert was right up there with the best of the best.

I'll bet. I was just starting to get into him and he passed away, so I never did get to see him live.

I was just becoming a teenager when he passed away so I wasn't even a fan of his yet. It wasn't until many years after he died that I started to get into his music.
Phred, what Floyd tour did you see? If you say Animals I'm going to hunt you down and kill you.

The thing about Zappa was he couldn't resist recording and publishing pretty much everything that came into his head. When he was good, he was VERY good -- Hot Rats and Overnight Sensation and Apostrophe are good examples of that. But when he was bad, he was VERY bad. I bought Weasels Ripped my Flesh and Burnt Weenie Sandwich and regretted both decisions heartily. One night in a fit of disgust I frisbeed both of them off the balcony of my apartment far far into the night. I derived enormous satisfaction from that act, I must admit. Those two albums (and many more) should never have seen the light of day. He released over fifty albums. Might have been sixty, actually. There is no way ANY musician can release fifty albums of good music. Not even The Beatles pulled that off.

The first time I saw Pink Floyd was when they were doing the Dark Side of the Moon tour. I also saw the Wish You Were Here tour, the Animals tour, and The Wall tour.
All were great shows, but the Dark Side of the Moon show was the winner.

Having not been there I guess I can't disagree, but I am going to anyway. I think the Animals show would have been the best, but that is my favorite album. I have heard many live boots from that tour and they are magnificent.

I went with pretty much the same group of friends to all four shows, and we all agree the DSotM show was the winner. There is much disagreement over which was the second best, though.

Well, that's your right to opinion. I wouldn't have thought that had been to those shows I know. Sometimes I wish I was old so that I could have been alive to see them in their prime.

This is my favorite song, I don't think it'll ever get old. It's on "son of the lost solos".
Edit: Sorry let me try this again.

I have to disagree with you sir, Weasels ripped my Flesh is a downright brilliant album. He has avante-garde jazz interpretations with very strange time signatures, to a classic song "Toads of the Short Forest" which he made in 64 although it sounded different then, the album closer I love the noise piece. I saw Zappa Plays Zappa a few months ago, and it was by far the best concert Ive ever been to and Ive been to many many concerts. The musicians assembled there were so incredible

i have to agree with TheCow, or rather also disagree with Phred  weasels riped my flesh is one of my favourti zappa albums... it's not important wether i like it or not because there's simply no way you can call it a BAD album! it's SO telented and so amazing... it's a little avountgard (or alot) and has some good "noize" but the music is simply inspired... how can anyone who actualy likes zappa and is smart enough to understand his music call it a bad albume is byond me
