Better than the album version

This singer is great!

Yeah, Sir Christopher Lee does Gilbert and Sullivan!

You are right, you have to catch Rank's high production values too. I lost my album along the way so cheers!

A very very accurate performance of this. Lee was a Master of all trades.

I was never going to bother myself, but glad someone did - ta!

0:58 I love the irony of this line being on this album, given the cover mentions Bayreuth, implying Lee also sings Wagner on this album.

My respect to sir Cristopher

genius

Fantastique, génial, j'adore ! J'en ai des frissons.

Imagine going to a karaoke night and hearing this exact rendition of Folsom Prison Blues (Shooby style). If I am worthy of Heaven, please let this be how I enter the gates. ❤

No mames, que nunca acabe , salaviiiiiiii!!!!!!!

A giant of xx century

dude keep up the good work

i can't believe this is fucking real

Isn't the petrol station the song is about the one on borough road up from the library?

I am 58 years old and of course I know Zappa. I for some very strange reason thought most of his music is just a bit too weird for my taste. *Update * How oddly wrong I was! In just the last couple of days I have listened to a lot of his music and I am turning into a complete Zappa Freak... Great music!

hahaha what a band i love this tune . everytime we did acid early 90s we ended up at the garage aha i get this soo much

Missed the chance to see the Broadway tour, never thought it would be his last. Went to see zpz, and all i can say is,, is, Frank would be proud and appreciate Dweezils dedication and talent, and his keeping Franks music live, because that's what it's all about. 😊

God bless the biscuits and jp taboot

He could have sung at the La Scala...Jussi Bjoerling wanted him to,he had a trained operatic voice.R.I.P

"What kind of sandwiches have you got?"

This material is totally NTM and I realize that I might need a few more listens to get past the fact that although it's performed at the highest possible level it's too twangy for my tastes and the 1st ever FZ material that I didn't either immediately love or eventually grow to appreciate deeply (w/a few rare exceptions). In other words, I think I need a minute to process this undeniably brilliant "country Frank" sound and see if I can get past my bias against this particular long-form country jam sound and appreciate it for the amazing work it represents. Everyone else commenting here seems to think it's totally Kool and the Gang. At present, it rubs me the wrong way so to speak and unlike other "rock" (I would never classify FZ as simply being a rock musician since he so clearly excelled in multiple genres and represents the best kind of musical savant) bands who dabbled in country including Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones (e.g. "Country Honk") and even "the other Frank" Frank Black did so in mostly palatable ways including the fine musicianship that always seem to go w/country but this particular song stikes me, at least initially, as long-play musical torture of a sort as it's fantastic in many ways including that slide guitar but it's just way too, like, Lynrd Skynrd for me. I mean, I heard "Freebird" so many times growing up and into adulthood it eventually caused a Clockwork Orange effect and now prompts instant strong dislike. Wow, what a pointless expression of an undoubtedly unpopular opinion. In closing, it should be noted that I am a massive Frank Zappa enthusiast whose father's massive vinyl collection introduced me to several essential Zappa albums at an early age and as time passed I was exposed to more and more Zappa including his symphonic stuff (and for the past 20 years, thanks to the Internet and my work for a now defunct music store - due to said Internet - have been exposed to more Zappa than I thought any one artist could possibly produce and am literally discovering new material every day thanks to The Zappa Family Trust, UMG and various sites especially UA-cam/YT channel hosts and still haven't experienced his entire body of work as there's so much material, offical and otherwise out there now, w/more being released every year thanks to TZFT, it's f-cking amazing) and have deeply appreciated, thrilled to and been energized and inspired by almost all of his prolific output which electrifies in every possible way from pure musical enjoyment to thoughtful (and even critically important) socio-political commentary to comedy to cultural homages and call-backs (e.g. "Cheapnis", "The Radio is Broken" etc.) and more. In short, FZ is perhaps the ultimate musical savant and I absolutely love his stuff. Country Frank might take a little getting used to, that's all. (End of pointless opinionated WTMI comment/rambling)

Haha, great idea, nice job, bizarre reprise 209+, that's a good one! I do the same in other ways when I find just a part of music very interesting! To be honest, this pedal steel came to my notice also when I heard this song first time and after. Thank you for honoring "Sneaky" Pete Kleinow's contribution to the Zappa music universe!

I always thought this song was missing something.

Ah the memories, John Peel and HMHB, without them I probably would not have got my A Levels.

How I loved this album in 2004...

Anysley Dunbar on drums

I play a Fender 400 set up like Pete's that he helped me with (although I can't get close to his touch, tone or talent) - and never knew there was an extended version of the solo. One of my favorite parts is Pete's "total chaos" transition into the next cut... Thanks SO much for posting this!

This beat is classic!!

The genius has been wiped from History! This is the only remaining song by Rank on the internet :(

Greetings from Warsaw, Poland. I'm one of the biggest fan of Frank Zappa. By the way: Frank Zappa stwierdził, że żyjemy w Oceanie Głupoty. RIP Frank Zappa

Genius!

Just one of the.many creative reasons why Zappa and his music will live for ever. Pure genius lives outside classification.

Even putting the exact description of the video in the UA-cam search box does not bring this up in the search results - why?

Thank you

Did he ever sing/record "When the Night Wind Howls" from Ruddigore?

❤it

I. Just found this! What a wonderful day its going to be😊

you can’t even find this video when you look it up anymore, why is it so weirdly rare???

It's so easy to love this piece,it flows freely to the sweet spot. My eternal thanks for this.

Perfect Saturday morning wake and bake sunrise service!!

Been going back to this song often, the slide guitar is mesmerising, I think i read it's 1 of the flying beurito brothers,has a Garcia vibe, beautiful 👌

Anyone know where I can get the 10hr 'Expanded and Bloated' mix version of this?

Reading all these comments brought me to tears. I'm grateful FZ and I were alive at the same time...

Zappa was so good at finding and using talent.

It's fun to sing the chorus of "Bittersweet Surrender" by Bighead Todd & the Monsters over this pedal steel solo

Dream come true. Bravo. In similar cheerful fashion and just as sweet are the keyboard solos of David Sinclair on the title track of Caravan's "In the Land of Grey and Pink" album. Just saying. On a personal note: Late 1993 or early 1994. I'd heard of Zappa's name, but none of his work. After he passed away, chanced upon "Peaches en Regalia" on _(strange, but)_ MTV. Surely, head over heels in love at first hearing. After "Hot Rats", "Waka/Jawaka" was my second Zappa album. As well stated by many viewers here, I wished Kleinow's solo would never end. It seems that in life without internet and less toxic congestion, people used to listen to music properly and spared time to discover, appreciate delicate matter. --Waving from Istanbul.
