Frank Zappa explains the decline of the music business
Frank Zappa explains the decline and fall of the music business and comes to a surprising conclusion that the older generation was better for pushing new wave music that they didn't understand than the supposedly younger/hipper music executives.

Frank Zappa - The Torture Never Stops (From the DVD)
www.eagle-rock.com Frank Zappa's New York Halloween 1981 concerts were filmed Live at The Palladium. This 'thing' entitled "The Torture Never Stops" was created in its entirety by FZ from the original concert production and intended by the Artist as one of 3 Television Specials. This is the longest version of the three - the others, "You Are What You Is" and "Dumb All Over", having actually aired. Halloween was Frank Zappa's favourite holiday, and New York was the site of Frank Zappa Halloween concerts for years! The billion and a half airings by MTV of the concerts (non-edited) followed on closely from the release of the double album "You Are What You Is" in September of that year on Frank Zappa's own recently founded and thoroughly independent label, Barking Pumpkin. Much of the set list is drawn from that work. All Frank Zappa shows were unique experiences with Zappa on guitar and baton, leading his band on flights of improvisation and drawing ever more intense performances from them. "The Torture Never Stops" cements Zappa's reputation as one of the most innovative and challenging composers and performers of the 20th century. Tracklist: 1) Black Napkins 2) Montana 3) Easy Meat 4) Beauty Knows No Pain 5) Charlie's Enormous Mouth 6) Fine Girl 7) Teen-Age Wind 8) Harder Than Your Husband 9) Bamboozled By Love 10) We're Turning Again 11) Alien Orifice 12) Flakes 13) Broken Hearts Are For Assholes 14) You Are What You Is 15) Mudd Club 16) The Meek Shall Inherit Nothing 17 ...

Frank Zappa - "Stolen Moments/Murder by Numbers (feat. Sting)"
Chicago: Auditorium Theatre, March 3, 1988. Frank Zappa runs into Sting before his concert. They meet, and Zappa asks if he'd like to do a song with the band. A couple hours later, this awesomeness happened. Zappa's 12-piece pocket big band tears off a fat, brassy cover of Oliver Nelson's classic minor blues "Stolen Moments," and after a great trumpet solo by Walt Fowler, FZ introduces Sting, who rants about the time a few years before when Jimmy Swaggart denounced The Police's "Murder By Numbers" and called them "The sons of Satan." Well, now, of course, Swaggart was embroiled in his own sinful problems, and Sting gleefully riffs on it and then croons a *very* smooth rendition of the song modified to fit over the Nelson chord changes. Brilliant. Pitches upward to a badass guitar solo by FZ and wraps with a return to the Nelson head. On the CD these are two separate tracks and there's a bit of a fade-out toward the end of Fowler's solo, and a fade-in again as it clearly transitions to the Sting track. I did a little editing and managed to even things out and join them together as they actually happened and should be heard. As far as I'm aware, these two tracks are not available as one anywhere else on the web. Great, great, great stuff from 'Broadway The Hard Way,' an album which earned Zappa his final Grammy nomination. Today's upload date would have been his 70th birthday. Personnel: Sting (lead vocals, commentary), Frank Zappa (lead guitar, vocal), Ike Willis (guitar ...

Frank Zappa: Does Humor Belong In Music?
This live album of highlights from one of rock legend Frank Zappa's final tours was filmed in New York in the summer of 1984. One of the most prolific artists of his time, Zappa was a satirist who wrote lyrics of questionable taste and whose music paid homage to every genre, from contemporary classical music to the guitar-heavy rock of the '70s. Tracks include "Zoot Allures," "Keep It Greasey," "Tinsel-Town Rebellion" and more.
