Frank Zappa is known for being an astonishing guitarist, and he personally trained Steve Vai for stardom. He is also known as a composer of avant garde music, and some of his works have genuinely pushed forward the boundaries of music. But he was (rest his soul) also a great band-leader and even when not performing his own music, he lead his band to great heights of performance. Here, he plays lead and leads his band in a mainstay of their live sets for quite a few years, the Allman Brothers song Whipping Post. fabulous performance, and a typically peculiar Frank solo by him.
Cheers, Tom.
