I do not hold the rights, and I do not make any profit. I published it only for a cultural purpose. I have created this precious document for my personal pleasure and I am proud to share it to celebrate the 10,000 subscribers to my channel. I dedicate it to my dear wife (super FZ fan) who left me last year for a terrible illness. Thanks to everyone, this consoles me a little. Frank's friends are also my friends. - - - - - - - - - - - - Everyone knows the story of this incredible, legendary European festival. Someone called it The European Woodstock. IMHO it is even more interesting, because more oriented towards the jazz music and because there was Frank Zappa! ACTUEL FESTIVAL was to take place in France in October 1969, but the French authorities canceled the authorizations at the last minute. It was moved hastily in Amougies (Belgium). It was a rock-pop-jazz festival. FZ was invited to play, but The Mothers was dissolved, so he participated as a Master of Ceremonies and played in many jam sessions with various groups. Jérôme Laperrousaz and jean-Noël Roy made a long film (documentary + concerts). It was broadcast a couple of times on TV, but then it was lost. Only a few pieces have been saved. It would be great to find footage of Art Ensemble Of Chicago, Don Cherry, Archie Shepp, John Surman, Anthony Braxton ... Who knows if they will ever find? I have long tried to find all the fragments that had been saved here and there and now I decided to put it all together. I worked a lot to edit the fragments of footages, synchronize them and improve the sound quality of the concerts, especially the amateur recordings (which were very bad!) I thank all friends who are near and far, known or not, who have made the various pieces available. 00:00 PART 1 intro (photographs + mix festival music by East Of Eden, Gong, Archie Shepp) 02:48 PART 2, documentary included: 17:49 The Nice 21:57 Yes 22:18 Colosseum 28:50 Pink Floyd PART 3, concerts video: 35:05 Captain Beefheart 40:35 Pink Floyd 1:06:30 Frank Zappa/Pink Floyd PART 4, FZ’s jam sessions (amatorial sound recordings - in this section I combined music with pieces of documentary footage, to maintain the atmosphere of the festival): 1:20:20 Sam Apple Pie 1:26:25 Caravan 1:34:18 Pink Floyd 1:54:46 Aynsley Dunbar 2:01:50 Blossom Toes 2:28:02 Captain Beefheart - - - - - - Visit the official Zappa website to find out about new publications!
