Available Now: smarturl.it/FrankZappaTokenDVD
Recorded on August 27, 1974 at KCET in Hollywood, A TOKEN OF HIS EXTREME features Frank Zappa with five incredibly talented band members for this extravaganza of live music.
The line-up exists of Frank Zappa-guitar, percussion, vocals; George Duke-keyboards, finger cymbals, tambourine, vocals; Napoleon Murphy Brock-sax, vocals; Ruth Underwood-percussion; Tom Fowler-bass; Chester Thompson-drums.
The Program, as edited and thoroughly tweezed & produced by FZ for Honker Home Video includes these delights: The Dog Breath Variations/ Uncle Meat, Montana, Earl Of Duke (George Duke), Florentine Pogen, Stink-Foot, Pygmy Twylyte, Room Service, Inca Roads, Oh No, Son Of Orange County, More Trouble Every Day, A Token Of My Extreme.
Stereo Mixes Produced by Frank Zappa with Kerry McNabb at Paramount Studios, 1974. Mastered by Bob Ludwig, Gateway Mastering, 2009
FZ: "This was put together with my own money and my own time and it's been offered to television networks and to syndication and it has been steadfastly rejected by the American television industry. It has been shown in primetime in France and Switzerland, with marvelous results. It's probably one of the finest pieces of video work that any human being has ever done. I did it myself. And the animation that you're gonna see in this was done by a guy named Bruce Bickford, and I hope he is watching the show, because it's probably the first time that a lot of people in America got a chance to see it."- FZ appearing on the Mike Douglas Show, 1976
Because 'Token' has never been commercially released until now, it is one of the most sought after Frank Zappa programs.

Zappa edited it himself. It‘s his signature editing technique ;)

@MrSpleeno 9 лет назад

Zappa is an acquired taste musically because he is doing so many things, taking so many risks. He hooks you in with the comedy angle but he's serious about his music. I interviewed Frank when I was in high school at the Record Plant in LA. He was totally humble, totally cool. He let us hang out while he mixed the Zappa in New York album. Then after the interview was over I said to him, "You'll just do this, like let some high school schmo like me interview you?" Zappa smiled and said, "Sure, why not - it beats the shit out of the Tom Snyder Show." I laughed, shook his hand, and that was that. Still have a couple photos to remind me of him on the boards mixing his music. Tragic early death, avoidable and a great loss to the world of music. RIP Frank. Thanks for the music, and thanks for the laughs.

@MrSpleeno 9 лет назад

TATTOO VAMPIRE1966 Thank you! It was an exceptional moment in time. I remember, before the interview started, I was leaning up against an old (then fairly new) pinball machine called "Fireball" in the lobby of The Record Plant - and this guy walks up to me in a trench coat with a thermos of coffee in one had, the other outstretched toward me. He looked into my eyes and said, "Hi, I'm Frank Zappa." I stuttered and said, "Umm, Yeah, I'm David - this is my crew. We're here to do that interview." "Yeah - I know" he said. "Come on in the studio - I'm working on something." So yeah, it was very cool - thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts!

As a child, I recorded this album from students for 3 rubles from a Riga-101 gramophone to a Chaika-M tube tape recorder. It was a shock to hear such unbridled psychedelia in the USSR in 1969. I was not fascinated by Frank Zappa, but his raw, unfinished creations did not disappear without a trace from my memory ... Bittersweet nostalgia, 52 years have passed, but I remembered the melodies and even some phrases of the songs ..! It was an amazing experience, although I didn't become a fan of it...because in those days there was so much amazing new music every month !! I thought it would always be like this... Thank you Frank for the track "If Only She Woulda"! Frank Zappa's mother is Italian but 1/4 French, father is Greek/Arab...! You can feel it in my favorite album "Absolutely Free" :-)

My favorite of Zappa's bands. Truly incredible.

@bluesharp59 3 года назад

I saw Frank back in the 70s in St. Paul, Mn. At the civic center. What a show they put on. To this day I still say it was the best concert of my life and no one has ever top it yet. Rest In Peace Frank, you are forever missed and thanks for the memories.

This is epic. Such difficult to play music being made sound so easy and laid back.

outstanding... damn.... I still can't get enough of Zappa...Last time I seen Frank Zappa was Ohio in 1977 ...RIP brother...

@Jimmyback1000 2 года назад

A truly brilliant genius of a man. He could do anything. This guitar solo he plays on Montana is so sublime. It should blow many people away! New fans everyday…miss you Frank! Your music will never die, or the magical spirit of your expertise…xx

@micahjared8082 Год назад

Work of Art right here. Musical Masterpiece. Every musician is on fire. The only thing Frank is lacking ; is a cape. Wow. ...and to think Ive been listening to this since the late 70s, and Im still floored.

I thought maybe there's a hidden meaning to the lyrics, nope. Just a song about a man being a dental floss tycoon. Okaly dokaly

I loved Zappa because he always made us think outside the box. In my opinion, there hasn't been an artist and band that even compares to him since he passed.

@heartvalais 10 месяцев назад

On first listen the only thing I can think of that sounds familiar is an album by Esperanza Spalding called 12 Little Spells. I really like hearing sounds that I haven’t heard anywhere else

I get so happy watching Zappa videos. One unintentional thing that I love, is the "...in a little white BOX!" part. The feedback became a part of his voice. Beautiful.

I had front row seats to a concert of his in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in the 70s. Was impressed by his control of the volume, and his expertise. What a loss when he left this earth.

@JeffreySykes 10 месяцев назад

There's so much to love and comment on each time I listen to a Zappa track. Napoleon Brock really sells the performance and for years I think he was the glue holding the entire thing together. No matter how far out Frank went, Napoleon could bring back some recognizability to bring the piece back to the grove so they could go around again. I think I'm going to read the Zappa Book again soon.
