Frank Zappa playing the bi-cycle on TV in '63, because why not?

Nowt to do with juggling; everything to do with what live performance once was. This is a curiosity par excellence from the Steve Allen show, featuring a very youthful Frank Zappa - as the man says, that's Z-A-P-P-A - who is nonetheless characteristically individual. It left me wishing that modern video could be this ingenuous and carefree from time to time.

Utterly lunacy; I loved it.

I think my favourite bit was the orchestra messing with Steve Allen when he blew through the handlebar....

Someone should look at bringing this back for a Renegade show.
