That which never dies

Felt like watching some good music on Dvd yesterday. I had already borrowed 'Does humor belong in music?' from a friend. I've always been an incredibly great admirer of Frank Zappa and this show did not disappoint me. Whether it was a sensitive rendition of 'Zoot Allures' or the funky 'Hot Plate Heaven at the Green Hotel', everything sounds good. The musician are of an incredibly high level and why Bobby Martin never became a big star in his own right is beyond me.

If you ever get to watch this video here is a bit of advice : don't forget to turn up the volume when you get to 'The Whipping Post'. Even Duane Allman couldn't have done it better, that is one Hell of a steaming pumping song. Which I will play again tonight...
