Probably my favorite Zappa song ever!.

"Echidna's arf" is one of the most accomplished and fantastically written songs in the history of pop music, God bless Frank's soul ,you will always be remembered Frankie.

At 65, this is the only band i will travel to go see. period.

Thank you Dweezil for keeping it alive for the world to experience.

No matter how many times I listen to this, it is always fresh and amazing. Please, for those who can, expose young people to Frank's music. It is important.

I've been listening to Frank since 1967 when I was 8 years old,I had lots of older siblings,this brings joy to my heart !

Frank never looked as happy as when he played this song. Pure poetry, this was his pinnacle, his most inspired time in my opinion. Great job Dweez, he loved you so much man...

"No description available" pretty much sums it up. No words can describe this collection of talent. Thank you Dweezil. DK

This might just be the most fantastic thing I've ever heard.

Great performance of an incredibly sophisticated song. Man, Frank was such a towering genius. Bravo Dweezil and Co.

A masterpiece his description of Palm Dale and Sun Village are perfect, Zappa grew up in Lancaster which is very close to those two cities

Rock royalty! Today's classical music. The more I listen to Zappa's more serious compositions and arrangements the more I know he was a genius.

What a band!!! Incredible good music and incedible musicians....

I saw a show from the tour in Florida featuring Terry Bozzio, Steve Vai and Napoleon Murphy Brock. Many people, including my band buddy, knew nothing of Frank Zappa but came to see the guitar god Steve Vai. During Vai's showcase the audience stood up with their lighters in the air, an entirely different concert. It was like trying to admire a beautiful and majestic giant red star with a tiny white dwarf dazzling your eyes and blocking the view. Terry Bozzio had a similar following, many of which seemed to be entirely unaware of Zappa. When my band buddy said, who cares about some old dead guys music? I nearly slugged him.

Jesus, Napoleon Murphy Brock still making the hairs on my arms stand up, 40 years later... He hasn't lost it at all.

Great performances by everyone, but especially Napoleon Murphy Brock...this version of "Village of the Sun" is amazing...

this band is incredible!! Love this song. Thanks Dwezil.

ZPZ with Napoleon and Vai, wow. Just excellent and tasteful from start to finish. Everyone is superb on this.

Saw the show live a few years ago, was amazing! Wherever FZ is now, he must be beaming with pride.. What absolute tunes these are..

The bass player when arf begins

absolutely amazing musicianship! I recall that Mr. Zappa (ha!) co produced one of his orchestral pieces with Twyla Tharp providing choreography and dancers in Berkeley. Maybe 1983? Anyway, Mssr. Zappa was not pleased with the dancers and made it known. still, this sort of thing was where he seemed headed. I always find myself laughing out loud with joy when I hear this piece well played. take that, prog rock!

Best Ode to Frank for sure. Awesome musicians.

Brock kills this! and oh- btw...ladies and gentleman, your backup guitar player this evening will be steven vai.

Just the greatest ever..... Hands down

rfreud - saw this exact band play Louisville, Ky. Sat front row middle. Travers is awesome. The whole band is awesome. Everything they did was awesome...

And Sheila is a force man. Her and the drummer are holy shit....and the bass player is just awesome.

How good does Napoleon Murphy Brock look..? Faaark yeah! Yr killin' it man!!

Just an amazing ensemble and arrangement. Outstanding performance. Frank's music was genius and grossly unappreciated.

Agree. One of my favorite's too. Love singing it in the car. Get some strange look's, but hey ....

How does anyone have the memory to memorize something like this? (Let alone 100 other songs like it.)

What a treat it must have been to experience one of their live shows throughout the years.

As father as son ,Dweezil Zappa gives an amazing performance of these 2 memorable songs from the incredible " Roxy and elsewhere "album ,despite the complexity of Zappa's music ZPZ bands gives an innovative rendition of the original tracks ,Zappa's music will always be remembered as a colourful mosaic of musical influences( Jazz,Blues,Classical,Modern classical.....etc).This music will be played, God willing ,into the long future ,because it's a solid creative build up that can't be easily washed away by new musical currents or trends ,Zappa is dead long live Zappa and ZPZ too in the person of the great Dweezil.

Top notch. Dad would be proud. Saw them in '06 with Brock, Vai, Bozzio, and company and again in '09 woth a new lineup. Both shows were amazing.

That string of lines in Echidna’s is one of the most challenging for any musician to play, ever. Thanks Dweezil for keeping the music alive! One question...Don’t you ever wash that thing?

It's lovely. Saw Frank in UK on the 1988 tour and saw Dweezil last year, a birthday present from my daughter. Twas wonderful.

Long live FZ music. And it's really nice to finally see a youtube music video without some a-holes arguing who is the best guitar player, and bashing someone for having different taste in art.

Echidna's arf, a masterpiece of modern music , and frank would be so proud of these fantastic musicians playing it exactly the way he wrote it......awesome dweezil, your putting your dad's music back on the big stage where it belongs, kudos

i just love murphy brock everyone was great on this thanks steve vai!! and dweezle

Super tribute, for ever F.Zappa🎸Thanks for share.

GEIL!!!

A lineup with this much talent doesn’t come around often. I was lucky enough to see Frank a couple of times but haven’t seen Dweezil yet. Hopefully soon !

Dweezil does it right. Very true to the original...

Wow what a tribute from Dweezil Zappa outstanding!!!!!!

Fair enough, it can be all to easy to misunderstand someone when English isn't their first language. The guy singing in this clip is Napoleon Murphy Brock, who sang on this track on the Roxy & Elsewhere LP.

napolean murphy brock! how lovely to see you

GREAT CUT!

Jesus, that was awesome.

Wow what a great version of one of my favorite songs. Thank You for posting it.

I was there,great concert !!

I ve got tears in my eyes. This Song ( roxy & elsewhere ) is one of the beauties i know. It keeps me thru bad times and give a Smile... thanx mr vai for the love for me. It's one of the beauties Song i ve heard. And i don't tell someone this fact: "For the love of god" is another Version of "sofa". Maybe you don't know it.... Hey, Folx: Help Planet Earth ! We MUST stop the global warming. If necessary, we should be louder !

Franks absolute masterpiece

In my opinion, this is Frank's best era. Dweez needs to tour the full early '70 gamut.

I still can't shake "Don't You Ever Wash That Thing?" from my internal playlist when Echinda's Arf ends!

Beauty for your ears. I saw Dweez a few years back with this line up and basked in this track live. Love it. Cheers Dweez

THEYRE ALL STILL HERE....even johnny Franklin too

Incredible ❤️✊❤️‍🔥🎶

saw this line-up in chicago. Priceless!!!!

ZPZ is such a bright spot in music. Saw Frank once on his last tour but the Roxy years are my absolute fav. This is an incredible cover that sounds as timeless as ever. I've seen ZPZ multiple times and will see them every time I get a chance. Long live Frank and thank you Dweezil.

Sun Village is my new Wake Up song i love Napoleon Murphy Brocks voice soo muuch And Echidnas Arf helps my Brain to wake up

Ab So Lutely two of my favorite pieces of music ever! Thanks, Frank. Thanks, Dweez. And thanks to any- and everyone who has ever played on it, then and now!

I have seen ZPZ a few times, and we are going to see them again in about 6 or 7 weeks. We initially saw this exact linup about 4-1/2 or 5 years ago, then saw most of the same musicians in late 2011 (Steve Vai was replaced by another guitarist, and Napoleon Murphy Brock was also replaced). This year, when we saw ZPZ in February, it was a slimmed-down lineup. Each time, they played "Echidna's Arf", and did a superb job! Can't wait to see ZPZ again next month!!!!

It's actually fucked how close this is to the record, even down to the neuonces of the original players!! 🤣

dude it gives me chills from originally hearing the first time ever so , YES to your question cheer's from Tulsa

Yeah!!! going to see Dweez and Co. for third time this summer in Rochester, NY.

Saw Frank twice and ZPZ twice. Amazing shows, all of them.

Saw this in Boston in 2008, ama-zing.....dy-no-mite.....

Tight as a tight thing that's very tight...... and boy that bass player is loving every moment !!! The Dweeze has really upped his game with this line up and I think FZ would be proud of where his son has taken his music !!

great stuff!

We've been doing exactly the same down here in Australia,third time was just last night at the palace in Melbourne for our third. Each time different songs and some players but this last set was amazing.

Saw Dweezil on 9/10/17 Lowry Manchester. Exquisite x

Damn, these guys are tight!

Damn, that was good!

Man I miss you Frank. Good job Dweezil.

Vai's fingerwork is remarkable, it's like a spider crawling all over that fretboard.

Best medley on the universe.

Dweezil even does the tucked finger picking style FZ used. I remember back in the day, Dweezil described FZs fingering as "the weirdest most twisted spider."

Mestre Zappa.

Even Johnny Franklin too!

this is real music i was lucky to saw frank frank but i need to see zpz also the sound is realy so perfect thx man zappa lives on .

brutal dude. open the vault gail!

His masterpiece

Hi I'm Napoleon Murphy Brock and I'm the Indian of the group.

I LOVE IT!!!

Is anyone else in love with Scheila Gonzalez? If so I will fight you in the Thunderdome for her love. Batman v Superman May 2016!!!

I demand that you buy the DVD - four hours of magical moments like this one!!!

Frank Zappa was a musical genius!

Thx Maestro!!!!

its amzing

Frank Lives!

Damn! Savage!

Napoleon Murphy Brock, Tom Fowler and Don Preston and others played this spring in Basel, in a small club ("Volkshaus"). Brock still looks awesome and has not lost his charisma... Don Preston at almost 80 years is still there! And Tom plucks tricky bass lines...

Met Dweezil at the strictly commercial after-party at the Roundhouse in London a few months ago. What a gent! I've no idea how he manages to maintain his composure when surrounded by people with textbook FZ facial hair etc. It's like that Twilight Zone episode where everyone's got a pig face.

Saw you in Liverpool, mate. The old fella would be proud.

Wuz there. Wuz awesome.

eyey , very caracterfull .

Holy Mother!

He can really wail.

Wow!!

Wow.........

perfect
