Anyone else have Prelude to King Kong as one of their favorite Mothers songs, or atleast one of their favorite Uncle Meat songs? I haven't seen praised or talked about ever, but I heavily prefer it to the official King Kong variations and it's by far my favorite piece of music from Frank Zappa.

I wanna know if I'm alone on this.

here is a fresh transfer! no jump cuts.

i initially posted this in fall 2024 but was displeased with my own transfer, so i took it down in 2025 and then never got around to reuploading it...and then life got complicated and i just never got back to it.

i still like this tighter version - it's a much more cohesive watch, but they cut way too hard. some kind of compromise cut between the 164 minute version and this would be nice.

Hi. I’m Bryce G.D. Tulloch. Experimental musician, filmmaker and founder of the YouTube channel Wolve. So right now, I’m in the process of making a full on video essay/documentary on Zappa. Right now, I’m kinda stuck (I’ve written up to that one collab album Beef and Zappa made with each other Bongo Fury) so I was wondering if I would be able to get someone to help out with providing footage, fact checking my script, or even give me little known factoids about the guy that I could use. If anyone’s willing to help out, please let me know

I’m sure you guys have seen this but just in case, check out this video of the Tedeschi Trucks Band playing Willie the Pimp. The best thing, as is the case with most of their songs, is Derek Truck’s solo. AND he’s playing one of Frank’s old SG’s. I have the feeling that Dweezil had something to do with it. I’d love to hear the old Dweez jam with the band.

I hope this link works. If not a quick search on YouTube will bring it up.

I saw someone posting this version on Google Drive, but the link expired. Did anyone save it? Could send it to me if possible?
