And for sheer insanity combined with unbelievably virtuoso performances and tight arrangements, it's still hard to outdo the late Frank Zappa.
Talk about a lineup: Frank Zappa—guitar, percussion, vocals; George Duke—keyboards, finger cymbals, tambourine, vocals; Napoleon Murphy Brock—sax, vocals; Ruth Underwood—percussion; Tom Fowler—bass; Chester Thompson—drums! You just don't see that caliber of musicians assembled on a single stage all that often these days. (Ruth is awesome!)
