Inca Roads - performed by Gabor, Wan, Monnya, Colelumpkin, T. Dosdogru, ZW, M. Kenally. Produced by ZW "Inca Roads" is the opening track of the Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention 1975 album, One Size Fits All.
I was talking about this with my colleage. And he was like "Well ofcourse. Same as that people still listen to Bach and Beethoven." And he's right. I don't really like Bach that much myself but the musical quality is undeniable. And quality stays. But yeah indeed it is a really good feeling that people still appreciate this as much as you. And that they will carry on that appreciation. And especially this version of Inca roads is very well done. I feel so proud for some reason. I'm not even a Zappa OG I'm from 88. I got into his music because of my father. Thanks dad.
I think Frank Zappa would have been proud of that amazing effort. Suffice it to say, the FZ solo on that particular track on one size fits all was the best guitar solos I had ever heard, and it was taken off a live performance somewhere in Europe; it still gives me goosebumps.
I was just saying to myself how Zappa's music is so intricate and innovative that no band can properly cover it. This band artfully placed that notion onto my pile of misconceived ideas. Superlative Gentlemen! Thank you!
Your country has that incredible architectural heritage, best in the world really! Shoutout to the ancestors of the Incas and the levels of megalithic construction!
A journey along Inca roads , this would make Frank , smile , not bad , with his wry grin , like when he watches his band members with a smile , I like this , sweet
My first thought was, "Oh no - what have they done to one of my favorite FZ songs?" Instantly followed by WOW !!! What a fantastic job !! SO Beautifully done, and involving many talented people! ¡ Bravissimo !!
hats off to the video editors and all the musicians! ... and thanks to Frank for Inca Roads, one of my all-time fave songs (and guitar-solos) of his ;-)
+trank grappa Agree absolutely! But who made this video? I would love to see a complete list of a) all musicians involved b) all filmers involved c) video & music editors, too!
This is stupendous. You've done the wonderful thing of honouring and respecting the original piece, but injecting something new and adventurous in your interpretation. It's truly wonderful. I just absolutely believe Zappa would have loved this, and think this may have been the direction he would have gone with technology just coming into the fore before his death. Wonderful work. Amazing.
I was watching a video by Berkeley college students and it was so vanilla made by a bunch of poseurs conversely these videos are so beautiful in every way that they make me cry just a little.
Those 12 thumbs downs I see cannot be Zappa fans or fans of top shelf music played by top shelf musicians plus top shelf video and audio mixing and editing. ABsolutely Fantastic Beyond Words!!!
Mike came late to the party and I am somewhat saddened that I didn’t get to see that band and tour and more of Mike with the band earlier... the frank and mike show could have been amazing....
I echo some of the earlier comments. I have loved Zappa's music for about 45 years and the video makes me appreciate this piece which I never really enjoyed before. I think he would have enjoyed this.
Thank You For Making This Awesome Video And For All The Work Put Into It. Just Found It But It's Crazy To Think How Many More Times I'll Watch It. Best Wishes
