ZAPPA - Bolero
Whoever said Zappa never done cover numbers?
This ditty is taken from Zappas Final Rock Band Tour 1988
The video was shown on TV in Barcelona but the soundtrack is from a separate live performance and synced together.
The soundtrack used is no longer available, originally on the "Best Band" CD, but removed soon after release. Update! The soundtrack is now back on the "Best Band" CD
It was also released as a single along with "Stairway to Heaven"......odd that it never hit the charts with a bullet....

The older I get the more I understand Frank’s playing. When I was 11 what I liked about him was that he was very funny, but I didn’t get his guitar work at all. After a lifetime of tragedies and struggles, most of the pop music I used to listen to is intolerable now, but when I hear Frank play guitar I feel right at home.
