Where Frank Zappa Lived in Laurel Canyon, Zappa's Grave, Mothers of Invention First LA Show + More

Oops, 2 things: Zappa's 2nd house is 8000 ft not 800 and the Whiskey A Go Go was the 1rst concert in LA. But their very first shows were at the Filmore in San Francisco, CA.

Yes without doubt the 20th Century's greatest composer in my opinion.. just class!!

Zappa is king of cool! He was an amazing talent. RIP F. Zappa

Great look at Zappa’s life 😎👍

Fantastic video. Thank you.

Great video Sir!!! Thank yiu

Another fascinating detailed bio video from you. I honestly didn't know much about Frank Zappa going into this, though I was vaguely familiar with him. Thanks for sharing this talented musician's story with us!

I finally got to the end of the video and it's a nice tribute to the man. Thank you.

If there's someone that is more musically diverse than Zappa please let me know, I don't thank they exist. This was a nice retrospect of him. Keep it up!

Yes, the video contains small inaccuracies, but it is not easy to stand up to Zappa fans. We do not forgive beginners. Thanks for the video. Liked and subscribed! Why? Because you didn't ask me to 😁

Thank you for acknowledging information from my memoir but one more correction is necessary. There were no parties at the log cabin while Frank Zappa was in residence. Except for the rehearsals every night in the basement by the Mothers and a couple of jam sessions, it was more like a monastery while Frank worked morning till night at his desk or piano, and the rest of us tiptoed round him.

The first 2 pictures of the 'cabin' you showed is actually the guest house which is still there! its just passed the abandoned pools of the left side of the lot, more up on lookout mountain side of the property. a lot of people post those pictures of the cabin but its actually the wrong house! The log cabin was much longer and theres some pictures in franks assistants Pauline's book.

One more point. When Frank bought the Woodrow Wilson house in 1968 it had only two bedrooms, two bathrooms, living room, study and kitchen. and the 'basement' which was actually the ground floor at the front and ran the full length of the house was Frank's working area. There was a guest house in the garden with a bathroom and a pool house which was used as a crash pad. You are of course talking about the house as it was by the time it was sold.

Again a very nice video of you. It was very interesting to watch. Many greetings 😀

Zappa Rules 🎸🎶🎶🎶

where Frank Zappa lived with the rest is the main reason that that area is now off limits to everyone but The Wealthy 💰

How was Frank able to make money considering he seemed to always keep a large band together? Did his albums sell that many that he was able to live rather well? Under my senior yearbook picture is the usual things then, "Who are the Brain Police? (1967- almost nobody knew what it meant.

The landmark was bought by Gaga's blind Trust for thi reason.

The picture supposedly of the log cabin, is not the log cabin. I'm not able to post the correct picture here, but that house he shows that burned down is next door and is still there!!!! I am so tired of people doing videos about Frank's house and getting it wrong. I lived there with Frank and nine others during his stay, May 5 - September 5 1968 and a memoir of my experience is published in 'Freak Out! My Life with Frank Zappa 1968-1971 Laurel Canyon''. It gives Frank's daily life not shown in other books, from getting up to going to bed, composing and rehearsing with the Mothers, visiting rock stars, freaks, family squabbles, and more.
