Frank Zappa - The Deathless Horsie - 1979, Munich (audio) 

Zappa was possibly the most indivualistic guitar player, ever. There is also much true emotion in his solos, whether he'd admit it or not.

He continues to speak beyond the grave in this timeless song.

This is Glorious. I'd like to ascend into nothingness listening to this song when the time comes.

Ahhhhh my favorite Deathless Horsie. Cheers 🥂

This is my favorite version of this tune I've heard. The relaxed tempo makes it sound so glorious and intense!! Frank was a monster, and with Vinnie behind him...watch out boy!!!

Ya just GOT! to love Zappa's melodic and rhythmic sense. There's little he hasn't done with those little musical notation sheets over the years. Another exceptional piece.

Most incredible Mr Zappa. Your music evokes feelings in the listener that only your style is capable of. 38 years later and this song has not lost a thing in unique stylings and timelessness. I could listen to this tirelessly for another 38 years.

Another guitar solo for the ages.

more than once I crawled into the street after hearing versions of this tune. he liked to change it from time to time .....always a fave....

Love that sculpture. Amazing.. The song is so incredible too.

I can remember listening to this 20 years ago walking into my hometown after being away for 5 years,still brings a tear to my eye

I'm a drummer, but FZ makes me want to play guitar. The man could solo over anything.

Fantastic performance of one of my favorite Zappa tunes.

schöne musik nd tolles pferd.

One of my favorites!

Amazing the song thank you FRANK Zappa

incredible version!

A personal favorite,awesome!And the sound quality of the video is perfect for a mp3.

So beautifully incredible and off the chain. Arf!!

A true Genius

Love this version, better than the one on Shut Up album imo. Very cool and apt sculpture too!!

Today everyone is mourning Jeff Beck, who died a few days ago and was, I'll admit, an extraordinary guitar player. But when Frank died, I didn't eat for a week, I was so broken-up.

The Speachless Fan

It may be true that Zappa wasn't fully understood in America, but part of what makes america great is that you are allowed to express yourself anyway that you choose. Frank did it with music, and I believe that he could not have developed into the talent that he was anywhere else in the world.

IMHO, Black Napkins/ Deathless Horsie, Halloween ‘78 is as “far out” as Frank ever went. This is crisp and clean, with a little coffee and nicotine. Music is the best!

Beautiful...

Superb.

Great music, thanks !

Greatness

Oh boy.

@mbgphoto79 Thank you!! It's awesome!!!

@OLugs This is the Winged Horse of the Apocalypse by DragonSpark.

Seems like it was 79 or so-- between Sheik Yerbouti and Joe's Garage-- that Frank seems to have (as Blakeans put it) stood on the shore of the Sea of Time and Space. There's a difference in degree before and after, an awareness of some sort. The solos of this period I find, um, useful in figuring out whatever it is that music is getting at.

Quelle fantastique version

Holy s**t! This version is awesome!~

wow.

Kewl !

Freaking amazing

@alrozz you are so right!!!!!!!

@markhayes69 Yerbouti was also at a time when Sheikh Yamani had a pretty high profile...

FZ, the Best!

Mr. Crabs! He was number one!!!

The Known...The Unknown and the Unknowable

getting close but it s hard man, is like myself is in the way this time.

Nice photo

He was a modelizer of sound.

The one dislike, is Zappa because he was deviating from the norm.

press it on a record - I'll buy it

@ChurchOSkatan Certainly not here in México.

Someone said Zappa "Deviated from the norm"? LOL There was no "norm" He played whatever the vibe was in the Universe at the time. 4 of the solos on "Shut Up and Play Yer Guitar" and the "wet T shirt" solo from Joe's Garage are all the "Inca Road" solo "norm"

"SHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiT" - Someone who experienced God with a moustache.

And in most ‘top guitarist’ polls, FZ would be lucky to crack the top 10, let alone the top 20. Myself, I consider him to be number ONE. And yes Jimi (who still usually gets the top spot), as much as I love ya, Frank passed you by by the mid 70s. Peter Townsend, who is amazing in his own right, and i consider genius, can’t hold a candle to Franks chops on the axe. Pete also gets rated higher than Frank. Let’s face it, like the RR Hall of fame, it’s just a popularity contest. And don’t say anything negative on Rolling Stone magazine. Case in point, Jethro Tull still is NOT in the RRHOF. Disgusting. It’s 2022. They shoulda been inducted in the 90s. Plainly sad. Ian Anderson is an absolute genius. Good Lord. Without he and Frank around in my teens (1970s), going to concerts would have been a whole lot less fun.

As good as the first time.

not a lot of people know that, so is "occam's razor" isn't the one on joe "on the bus" ??

@stargate669 yeah but there are many many more trying to top him up. like uh monSANTO???

The Conceptional Continuity is all one album! The way I understand it?

Sounds like Sinister Footwear toward the end of this.

Please! Can you tell me the name of the sculpture in the picture?

@Rinhiromaus Could it possibly be 'The Deathless Horsie'?

Title of scupture, who did it, and when? Thanks, in advance.

What am I missing?! F# B C# E C# Eb E C# G# f# I know I'm missing something but I cannot figure out the OneNote that I'm missing, I just know I'm not resolving where they are.

from outside now??

Lyrics:

Now being sold all over the UK as Bugers lol

I don't think so. This comes from a bootleg.

@alrozz most amerxians dont like music they like stuff that they know familer stuff,anything new and long they cant lisen to ,true fact frank said

Dweezil is Jesus by proxy then ? Works for me my friend.

@ChurchOSkatan allso because, most americains dont like music f.z. quot

mwhahaha

Love his compositions & humour. Not so sure about his pentatonic noodlings on guitar. After a while you realise pretty much all of his solos are pretty much the same.
