Zappa & The Grand Wazoo Band - 1972 Archive Footage (Part 2)

Happy zappy new year to everybody

Love everything from the Wazoo/ Waka period period, shame Zappa went more commercial after this, guess he had to make the bucks and also fund his classical music ambitions..................

I don't mind the commercial side of FZ, cause I belong to the other people in the world who like the melodies but can't really approach the statistical density in the basic form
