Zappa Doing "Stairway"

They also do "Walrus" by the Beatles.

In later performances Zappa arranged the Jimmy Page guitar solo for the horn section.

There's probably a better version of this online, but I couldn't find it. The audio quality is pretty bad. But go to about 6:45 for the solo.

Frank was always an iconoclast, a reggae version of Stairway is a genius idea! The best thing is he really rips it up with the solo. I don't listen to him a whole lot but I absoulutely respect him for his musicianship and his "I don't give a F#%& if you like it or not" attitude.
