Frank Zappa with Chad Wackerman

[drumfreak0714]

My friend just lent me a Frank Zappa live 2 disc set called "The Best Band You Never Heard In Your Life," and I couldn't stop laughing after listening to much of it, especially these tracks:
A cover of "Purple Haze" by Jimi Hendrix

and "The Torture Never Stops"

This show was with Chad Wackerman on drums. I'll post some more favorites on this thread later. [img]smile.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/music.gif[/img] [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

Yeah I got those live cds.

The robotic cover of Purple Haze is very funny and , with The Eric Dolphy Memorial Barbecue, are my favorite of Disc 2.

Altho the material is very well executed, I dont really listen to those discs anymore...

I love Frank...thats a great double CD. I especially like any satire that identifies liars and cheats...like Swaggart for example...

I love the version of "Stairway to Heaven" especially because he arranged Jimmy Page's solo note for note for a horn section!
