Frank Zappa - The Black Page #2 Dance Contest 

I love how all this funny shit is going on while one of the hardest drum solos of all-time is being played.

nice to hear the band nail the 3-5-7-7 tuplet run at 1:19...so complicated.

"keep the aisles clear, you never know when there's gonna be an emergency" legend

Baby Snakes was filmed over Halloween in 1977. He had everybody on their seats dancing. I was there. One of the greatest concerts I ever went to over 40 years.

Adrian Belew dressed as a military nurse... my fantasies are now complete!

This is a pure Dada masterpiece.

OMG! This is the coolest, most deliciously strange video I have ever seen. I love The Black Page #2 and watching live performances of it are sublime, but THIS... I don't have the words. So great. Thanks for posting!

Wow, For me this is the best performance of this, that i can find on youtube, but i don't no why this is different from many other performances, it's just epic... just AWESOME

Adrian Belew in a air plane stewardess suit dancing to Zappa doing snake things. I'd love to be in that a band:-)

Adrian Belew :D

Just a fan, I believe. Judging by her general demeanor all through the Baby Snakes vid, and the black pools of her pupils (even in bright lights), I'd say she was tripping balls.

lol the chick with the whip's name is angel . and she is trippin her face off lol i should know!!!!!!!!!!

j dilla know you are going to dance like never dance before

Exceptionnel!

traducción al español de lo que dice Frank Zappa antes de comenzar el 'concurso de baile' : Es tiempo de meternos en el centro de nuestra performance.. el concurso de baile... la noche anterior tuvimos 10 personas quizás 12 quien sabe... estuvieron bailando y retorciendóse tratando de llevar el ritmo del 'The Black Page #2'...

Genius ... one of my fav DVD's ... only a FZ concert could be like this ... musical perfection and total madness all at once!

holy...shit absolutely amazing

If it's not to go on a Halloween like that, I don't even leave the house.

Love the hat switch at 3:25

@CH3MIS7RY Indeed. Those boys could play. Frank could write... (and play and think and talk...)

Roy Estrada as the mexican pope!

@zappaplayer2007 I thought that chick was Donna U Wanna. One of those chicks said her name was Donna U Wanna. The one time I saw Zappa there was no dance contest but Frank conducted the audience like you would conduct an orchestra. He encouraged the chicks to donate panties (there was a clothes line on stage with panties on it) and some of them did. Gotta love audience participation =)

Yep...the same show in NYC...Baby Snakes or maybe Sheik Yerbouti

1977

Terry Bozzio!
