A concert movie showing a performance by the much-loved 1973 incarnation of the Mothers of Invention. An incredible cast of musicians treat us to a selection of blistering, pointillist jazz rock, hilariously funny asides and lyrics, audience participation and freaky behaviour. Featuring Frank Zappa (guitar, vocals, mysterious hand signals), Napoleon Murphy Brock (lead vocals, saxophone, flute), George Duke (keyboards, vocals), Ruth Underwood (pyrotechnic displays of percussion mastery), Bruce Fowler (Trombone), Walt Fowler (bass), Chester Thompson (drums) and Ralph Humphrey (drums).

A Frank Zappa show goes way beyond a mere concert – it is an experience…a flight of improvisation, musicianship, and cerebral cynicism. An unparalleled Composer and Guitarist, Zappa redefined rock n roll paradigms by introducing into the mix his favorite influences from classical music, jazz, blues, doowop, traditional and non-traditional music. And he did so with unparalleled humor and audacity. But it was the music itself that influenced generations of musicians and, quite frankly, blew minds. Roxy: The Movie, filmed over three nights in December 1973, at the Roxy Theatre in Hollywood, CA, is a powerful display of this experience, and reveals what made him such a pioneering musical revolutionary.
