Frank Zappa

"A Pioneer of the Future of Music"

2007 documentary

broadcast on Dutch TV - VPRO - April, 2007

This version has user-friendly chaptering and selection menus with a lot of the interview bits directly selectable. Also the second half of the earlier seed was slightly out of synch. A two frame delay of the audio made a definite improvement. No re-encoding was done to the video or audio of the earlier seed.

Other details of this entertaining documentary:

There are a lot of bits of Frank speaking that are primarily taken from the 1971 VPRO documentary by Rudolf Kiers (footage recorded at Frank's home in 1970 and first broadcast February 11, 1971). It's all a very tight collage of old and new images and interviews.

New chapter list - more descriptive here than the selection menu allowed for it to fit onto a single screen:

1. Intro

2. Growing up

Thanks to Drummerdaan for the first post of this! It was originally transferred to DVD by him and is not one of the torrents of this show that was originally uploaded. I doubt than another copy of this will be able to improve on the excellent sound and video quality, especially after fine tuning the synch.

Other info from Drummerdaan's post:

This documentary has new interviews edited together with earlier documentary material and live performance videos. There is footage of Frank writing, thinking and talking about his ideas and work and various footage of Frank performing with the band.
