Electric Circus
Been awhile since we checked in on Ed Seeman. Here's a post he calls Electric Circus 60's Disco Zappa Music, with the following explanation:
This 60's disco was located just below Andy Warhol's Loft and down the block on St. Marx Place in Greenwich Village from where Zappa was playing for six months at the Garrick Theater. So I used his music from my "Uncle meat" footage to score this completely unedited film shot on one 100ft. roll.
Thanks for all the posts, Ed. Looking forward to many more.
Coneheads
I'm sure somebody's got this in better quality somewhere, but here's the one I ran across, courtesy of uploader qahtani.
Cynicism
"People are people and they are basically bad."
A little cynical for my tastes, but I must say I enjoy his commentary.
Uploaded by LightningStrat. He doesn't name the original source but it looks like the early '80's and those subtitles are German.
Captain Beefheart vs. The Grunt People
afka.net has the first and last page of Captain Beefheart vs. the Grunt People, an unproduced Zappa screenplay. Wiki/Jawaka has a little bit more information, but only a little.
Zappa loved B movies, and this one looks like it would have been a lot of fun.
The Biggest Problem
A very brief Zappa excerpt about mental health.
Via uploader tomtiddler1, who attributes it to "Rockpalast, March 18th, 1976. WDR"
Marque-son's Chicken
San Carlos, 1984; not the best quality but better than I generally expect from an audience recording. Uploaded by YourArf.
Two on the Town Interview
Another fine upload by tomtiddler1, who says: "KCBS-TV, Los Angeles, November 6th, 1981."
Idiot Bastard Son
Mike Keneally, from the same 1991 Ritz show as the Brown Shoes recording I posted last October and the Dirty Love one I posted last August, shortly after Zappa announced he had cancer. (Er, the show, not my post.)
Music is the Best
I'm gonna level with you: it has been a very long day.
Everybody is fine. But I am very tired and can't muster the energy to dig up some bit of Zappa ephemera tonight.
But on the subject of music, I did just see McCoy Tyner and Joe Lovano tonight. It was amazing.
