Frank Zappa - The Best Band You Never Heard in Your Life 2CD
Termék leírás:
A The Best Band You Never Heard in Your Life Frank Zappa utolsó, 1988-as turnéjának különböző helyszínein felvett dupla koncertalbuma, 1991-ben jelent meg.
A lemez címe ("The Best Band" - a legjobb zenekar) egyben Zappa véleményét is kifejezi az adott felállással kapcsolatban: nagyon elégedett volt a csapatával, büszke volt zenészeinek képességeire. Többször utalt rá hogy gyakorlatilag "bármit el tudnak játszani", ezt (is) illusztrálja ezen a lemezen a meglepően sok feldolgozás: a Ring of Fire Johhny Cash dala, rendszerint a ráadásban hangzott el a Bolero, a Purple Haze és a Sunshine of Your Love diszkó-verziója egy-egy fricska a rock korai ikonjai felé, felbukkan a Keresztapa főcímzenéje is, az albumot pedig a Led Zeppelin-klasszikus, a Stairway to Heaven zárja.
Ebben a feldolgozásban míg a dal elejét gyakorlatilag szétszedik, végignevetik a zenészek, addig a második részben az eredeti gitárszólamnak egy bravúr-verzióját halljuk: Jimmy Page szólóját az öttagú fúvósszekció (!!!) hangról hangra, lélegzetelállító tempóban, tökéletesen együtt játssza el.
