Heavy Duty Judy
Santa Monica, 1980; uploaded by tomtiddler1.
Dupree's Paradise
Sweden, 1973. Looks to be the same show as the RDNZL video I posted last November; Frank's put on a coat but everybody else is dressed the same.
Uploaded by Wes Broadway, in three parts:

Not actually Frank Zappa compositions here, but what the hell, I'm using the Frank Zappa tag on this post anyway because that's the theme. And they're Frank Zappa-esque, anyway. As you'd probably expect from his sons.
Uploaded by TVmultfilm, who doesn't give a year -- I'd guess somewhere between mid-1990's and early aughts.
Plastic People
Covered by PiKANTiK, Zappanale Festival, Bad Doberan, Germany, 2006. Uploaded by frontman Matragon.
Lost Interview Part 7
More of an epilogue than anything. A message to the year 3000.
Lost Interview Part 6
Actually, I screwed up -- last night's was part 6; this is part 5. Order doesn't seem to particularly matter on these two, though, except for the last bit on artistic freedom and censorship, which leads into the "candy-coated dictatorship" bit I posted last night.
Jimi Hendrix and Buddy Miles as houseguests, the King and RFK assassinations, conspiracies, UFO's, the moon landing, Woodstock, the sexual revolution, and what do you want him to say about artistic freedom?
Lost Interview Part 5
Zappa on America as a candy-coated dictatorship.
Lost Interview Part 4
The LA freak scene, Einstein, and the Mothers.
Lost Interview Part 3
He describes how he thinks his campaign would work -- and basically describes Nader's from 1996. Sometimes I can't decide if Frank is a bitter cynic or a naïve Pollyanna.
Then again, Frank gives a much more entertaining interview than Ralph.
And then we're on into Kennedy (I wonder what Frank would have thought of Clinton?), Nixon (I can guess what he would have thought of Bush), Johnson, and just a little bit of Carter, the Beatles, the Stones, and Lenny Bruce.
