Zappa plays Zappa

I saw the show this year & last year & had a hella good time,the music was great & sounded very much what FZ sounded like when he was being serious.

Last year Napolean Murphy Brock, Steve Vai & Terry Bozzio were the guest performers,this years show had Ray White which was real cool,his vocals were spot on & brought back alot of memories,he did an excellent job on The Illinois Ennema Bandit.

Bring a few extra bucks,there is lotsa goodies at the concession stand,i bought my wife a pair of neon pink hot pants with the FZ moustache logo where the top of the bush would be : )

saw them at the warner in d.c. last year. positively fantastic! i had the chance to see frank twice. by comparison, dweezil and company actually play entire songs, whereas fz tended to skip around, not really getting through songs completely... if you read dweezil's own words, it's interesting to hear him talking about having to relearn the guitar to pull this off, which is pretty amazing, considering he is and has been an accomplished guitarist for some time.
they have been doing this for at least a year and a half now, so i'm sure it's as good as it can be. no one can play zappa like zappa! savor every note! the set list was just sick, they played everything i could have hoped for, and more. the young musicians in the band are just great, and so enthusiastic, it's simply amazing to behold...maybe the best part of the whole thing, seeing the grins on the faces of the band as they work. fz's songs are not easy to play, and the band pulls it off with aplomb and zeal.

Well, I saw the show last night and it was awsome. Ray White was the special guest and man the guy has a great voice. When they broke into a version of Dorean I practically jumped out of my seat. I am now off to the amazon site to see if he has played with anyone else or even perhaps.... a sole effort.

Cheers and thanks for all the imput.

I'm sure Dweezil is good but he's not Frank, period !

I hope you don't mind me chiming in. I'm totally unfamiliar with Frank Zappa's music, and you are all such knowledgable fans, so I was wondering if you could suggest 2-3 disks that would properly introduce me to the man and his music.
