This all goes back to the famous ad-hoc Montana (Whipping Floss) version during the 1974 Helsinki concert (with the Roxy lineup) which only came out in 1988 on volume two of You Can't Do That on Stage Anymore. So this particular live performance must have been around the 10-year anniversary of that first rendition which makes it all the more interesting. You really gotta listen to the guy yelling from the audience requesting WP, FZ not knowing the song and the guy going "yoooyooyooo" followed by an improvised kinky down tempo version of Montana, it's quiet a gem. kzitem.info/news/bejne/tKR7z45ofoWAgo4si=lbp_htNz5roqKAzj

Was listening to Zappa's "Whipping Post" with my band as we were all riding together in the van on the way home after playing. At one point when the band stopped playing and you could hear the sound of the live audience, my bass player was freaking out, suddenly realizing that he was listening to a live performance. "WHAT! This is LIVE?" We were all in shock, honestly.

I really need to reconnect with him and see how he's doing. It's been way too long. Thanks for reminding me of a happy time during my adolescence.

I was at the live at the Fillmore recording of the original Allman Brothers version. This singer is good, but Greg Allman was on a difference dimension. And let's not forget Greg was 22-23 yrs old at the time. This guy is more of a pop singer; a good one for sure. It seems forced whereas Greg puts his soul into it. And while I'm a huge Zappa fan, saw him several times, and he does well with this version...it doesn't compare to the emotion that the Allmans put into it.

I made it a habit to go to the stage during sound check or whenever to ask a member of the band if they played Whipping Post. The answer was almost always no. In my mind, it was a way to separate the wheat from the chaff. And it was 100% reliable.
