December 31, 2012... 2012 has been a splendid Zappa Year for me : I attended 22 ZPZ shows this year, over 3 tours (US february, US Summer, UK November)... I keep track of all the setlists from the shows I attended, and in my 38 ZPZ shows, they played 822 songs (over 21 average), and I could hear 123 different songs (119 by FZ, 2 by Van Halen, 1 by Z and 1 by The Allman Brothers, but this one had been covered by FZ of course). The song I heard/saw the most was Hungry Freaks Daddy (20 times), then Dancin' Fool, Apostrophe(') and Carolina Hardcore Ecstasy (18 times each). I heard 24 songs only once, and 16 only twice. But the best for me is that I was allowed to make photographs and videos of most concert I attended. I gave copies of my photos to the band and shared a few here, more to come... And they also have copies of all my videos, some might surface one day, I hope, when Dweezil decides it is OK to share them (dont ask me, I wont without his permission). I just hope I can go to more shows this year, and for many more years again... I have met many people from DZW on the road, at shows or at Dweezilla, and it has always been a great pleasure for me. I hope we meet again soon! So let's make 2013 another great Zappa Year ! - updated 2012-12-30 21:57:50 -0500

Thanks for the add Thierry. Looks like you are the big traveler for this tour. I look forward to your documentations along the way. Also,thanks for joining the west coast tour group. When I started it I really thought ZPZ would tour all the way to Seattle. I'll post some more info on my plans there,soon.

Thierry,if your going to the N.California shows,there is a bunch of us in the Northern California Zappaphiles thread that stay in touch and get together before and after DZpZ shows.So far I'm going to the Chico,Ca.& Sacramento,CA shows.They fall on Friday & Sat. respectively.So were getting a room in Sac.for Sat. within wakling distance to The Crest Theater.Most of us are on Zappa.com & Zappateers too.Basically a bunch of Zappa Freaks that help each other get to all the shows we can! So,check out that thread and your invited to join us for beer n' pizza and a place to change and shower or sleep,smoke pot,get to know a girl with Far Away Eyes,(what happens at a Zappa concert,stays at a Zappa concert) and have Zappa fun! The west coast wonderment thread is mostly southern California people going to shows that are a day 1/2 travel time away from up here.

Great pix,I dig the Flo & Eddie shots,sweet! Say high at either show,either way,

Music is The Best!

Wow ! Joe not paying with ZPZ ? I could never imagine that...This will be a huge challenge for the new drummer, but I'm sure he has been chosen with extreme care so I'm pretty confident about his talent as a drummer and his...Read more
