I happened to hear a
bootleg recording of a Frank Zappa gig on 09/18/77, the rendition of
Wild Love [from Sheik Yerbuti] was an awesome tour de force, the writing
and the playing were overwhelmingly good. There's nothing like the sound
of a good band who is extremely ON, and they know it, playing excellent
material. It blows you away. Please keep in mind, I didn't just
'discover' the song, Wild Love, I already knew full well how fucking
good it is, but I honestly didn't realize the 77 band was THAT good, or
even COULD be that good. Bozzio, O'Hearn, and Tommy Mars were just
blowing and going. Damn! Peter Wolf was real good, too. They ALL were.
FZ music is fucking awesome. Nothing else comes close. I didn't even
know I could like something that much, it just kicks my ass from every
direction. Anybody want a copy of the
mp3? [ducks
under the deluge of requests...] I would like to thank the ops in the
IRCtoo channel,
#zappateers,
for hooking me up. |
