The
house already Gonzo Multimedia DVD marketed under the
category "Lost broadcast". These movies are from forgotten TV
show Beat Club, who made the heyday of German teenagers in the 60s and
70. It seems that Gonzo Multimedia explorers have discovered a vein from the
German archives, since they already have emerged more records in this category,
including passages from Captain Beefheart and The Move, which we had the
opportunity to comment in 2012. At the time, these DVDs were rather poorly
packaged in a CD case. But here, with this recording of a passage of Frank
Zappa and his Mothers of Invention in Beat Club in 1968, we
are dealing with a pretty traditional DVD case, the psychedelic yellow pouch and
provided some explanation in an internal slip.Frank Zappa and his team filmed for Beat Club 6 October 1968 but this session is primarily a big rehearsal musicians for over an hour. This is the first time that Frank Zappa landed in Germany with his band during a European tour which runs from late September to late October 1968. Between October 5 Hamburg and Munich on 9, the Mothers pass in front of the cameras of the Beat Club for this issue could not be more strange, turned black and white and rich profusion of overlapping images, for an effect that would psychedelic but only gives seasick viewers. It goes without saying that this DVD is primarily worshipers of Frank Zappa. For it is the historical interest that predominates on the musical character.
Musically, the band goes a long time to develop instruments and ends up playing a few songs that will appear on "Uncle meat", not yet published at the time. So you get versions of "King Kong", "A pound for a brown on thebus", "Sleeping in a jar", "Uncle meat". Other excerpts from the albums "We're only in it for the money" ("Let's make the water turn black") and the future "Weasels ripped my flesh" ("Prelude to the afternoon of a sexually Aroused gas mask") are also scheduled. It must be lamented some sound defects which suddenly drop the volume at times. This is the fate of video and audiotapes that have remained in drawers for decades before being brought to the surface. By cons, in terms of atmosphere, this video is a treat. At work we see Frank Zappa, directing his musicians, eating sandwiches provided by the set of the show team, doing some dance lit on a rock 'n' roll improvised.And we see evolve musicians from Zap these unclassifiable Tronches that are Ian Underwood (alto saxophone), Bunk Gardner (tenor saxophone, clarinet, flute),James "Motorhead" Sherwood (baritone saxophone, tambourine), Roy Estrada(bass and vocals ), Don Preston (piano), Art Tripp (drums and percussion) andJimmy Carl Black (drums). This merry band indulges in all sorts of crazy musical exercises, but crazy at the same time very strictly by the regents boss Frank Zappa, always fully aware of the relevance of his work. Although a bit difficult to access, DVD remains quite recommendable to fans of Frank Zappa, whose posthumous work continues to emerge through its assigns. There are now a hundred official albums of Frank Zappa, not including videos that abound. This happening at the show Beat Club is part of the lot and contributes to the rediscovery of this absolute genius that was Frank Zappa.
