Me neither. I made it almost half way through and had to turn it off.

Frank Zappa in Amougies - Festival Actuel 1969 (VIDEO)
Haven't watched it entirely yet but it seems as if the audio and the video not necessarily match
Probably more interesting for the Beefheart appearances than those of FZ
So maybe just another case of Not sure what to make of this...............

Yeah, I've listened to Zappa jamming with Pink Floyd at Amougies and although it's weird that he tried to deny it, I fully understand why he'd wish he hadn't tried it.

Yeah I've listened to PF and FZ previously - its a bad mix of Space rock and Chungas revenge lol

Maybe it should be called Chunga in Space :devil:

That sofa cover is not bad. But I'm not sure I like that really floral piano style.

I've had a copy of that BBC documentary for a long time. My wife and I moved from London to Adelaide in 1992 and a little later my brother-in-law recorded it on VHS and posted me a copy. Later on I transferred it to a DVD, which also has transfers of The Amazing Mr Bickford and the Uncle Meat Movie. The less said about that last one, the better. That movie is probably even worse than The World's Greatest Sinner.

Yep the 2nd Vid is a good one

Yeah, some of Bickford’s visions are pretty disturbing, but his stop motion stuff is incredible. I was going to say amazing, but you might have thought I was kidding. It’s uncanny how well Zappa’s music goes with it.

Bickfords stop motion looks more amasing after all these uears
Nothing wrong with Kidding around :biggrin:

"Probably one of the great pieces of music of our time." FZ 1976
Extensive analysis of the masterpiece Greggery Peccary, 17 mins

Very interesting history - knew of Wazoo but not that it went back to 1969 although Zappa is well know to reuse themes

Interesting Dweezil Interview on Eddie Van Halen that also touches on Frank

Great vid on WOIIFTM, including a copy of the 1968 Oz version, I have never seen one in the flesh but am always on the look out for one- Australia never got the message to reverse the sleeve and we got the full parody cover in 1968 lol

Downside is that it was not a gatefold.
