Anybody else going to see the Zappa plays Zappa tour this summer ?
Since Dweezils inception of this band playing all Frank Zappa's music its became a yearly event for me & my family,every yerar he has a guest performer from The Mothers of Invention or the Zappa band,we've seen Steve Vai,Terry Bozzio & Ray white as guests so far.
As long as rap music is not the main stay of your musical tastes i highly reccomend this show,lots of killer hard core fusion jazz,complicated rock,extremely difficult modern classical peices & of course the old school hippie songs like "Dont eat the yellow snow" & Montana.
These guys are insanely skilled musicians who are multi talented & put on one fuk of a show,no 2 turntables & a microphone stuff going on ,just serious musicianship.
The 60's & 70's were an amazing time for rock music & fusion jazz with FZ putting out some of the greatest & most complicated music of all the heavy bands of the era.
Check out a clip from last years show.

I couldnt find a clip of this song by the Zappa plays Zappa band so i got this clip of Frank playing with one of the most talented group of musicains he had since having George Duke & Jean Luc-Ponty in the band,bonus question,who's the guy playing rythm guitar in this clip,he went on to be in one of the most famous bands of the 70's.
