Wow... the more of the FZ catalog I dive back into the greater the appreciation for the original composition and a greater appreciation of ZPZ's talents. I saw Frank a few times and their were moments of brilliance followed by tedium at times but that is how it was for me 'at that time' I have been given the light and thank you for all of your work, the music is complex and execution in grace and perfection is always there.
I saw the Dweeze in 94 in a vergin megastore in Glasgow. and got the autograph of him and amet. saw the show at king tuts later too. the biggest roar was the meadly with 100+ snippets of songs. I think it had the zombie woof riff. in there somewhere that eara anyway. and the roof came off - the writing was on the wall - your own stuff was fine, but we all wanted to rear some FZ material. My mate in holand reckons you should not bother as you will never be as good as Frank - screw him - first time i saw ZPZ i was a bit p****d ( booze ) and was not overly impressed. But the second show I saw in a fairly subduded cambridge Corn exchange was brillient. I drove up -saw the show and drove home. Totallt loved it. Esp. Yo Mama solo - I mean solo - guitar only, city of tiny lights also sticks with me.
Was at the Roundhouse. the whole of apostrophie - well if you are trying to sell this stuff to kids ( this is the only FZ record my 10 & 8 year olds like) then great, but I would prefer some more variarion.
And while I am at it do you have to do Muffin man at the end? It's really not the best song Frank ever wrote. to play it every show?

Rant over.
i have tickets to the corn exchange in November - would really like to hear Sofa and oh no. with a guitar solo over that 5/4. that is so b******g in the jazz noise CD
Dweezil, important message: I saw your band at a record store in Boston in 1994 and asked you and your band members (Mike Keneally, Bryan Beller, Ahmet) for autographs, which I got. I asked you to mention my brother, which you did, saying that HE ROCKS!. No Dweezil, YOU ROCK! Seriously, what you do with Zappa Plays Zappa is great and important; authentic yet up-to-date, and another generation gets introduced to some of the great music of your father. Keep it up and thanks.
Dweezil- get whatever things in your personal life sorted out.Thats all that really matters in the big picture.Best of luck to you.Us fans will all be here when you get back on track...we aint goin' nowhere.
And thanks for doing what you do.I know it's made my world a better place and pushed me to grow musically over the last few decades.Even before I really discovered your fathers music,your music with Z and your other solo albums.....I can remember in high school sitting w/friends (devout metal heads)in my living room watching 'Headbangers Ball', making fun of all the 'pretty' boy bands... and then your cover of 'My Guitar Wants to Kill your Mama' came on back in 198something? We all just shut up and the next day we set out to learn it.So once again,thank you.
I am working on the Roxy DVD. I unfortunately got side tracked with a series of difficult events in my personal life. I've needed to take some time to rebalance my life.
I hope to have some official info on the release of the DVD soon. I will keep you and everyone else posted.
Dweezil, when will there be a new official dvd release? About 2 years ago, you whet our apetites with a preview on youtube of The Son of Roxy and Elsewhere but nothing seems to have happened. Please think of us poor folks who live in countries that are small and insignificant that they will not ever be included on any of your tours. An official very high quality DVD is the next best thing to a live concert. I have worn out my DVDs on the first ZPZ set and have memorized all the footage on it. Please don't make us wait much longer! It's obvious that you guys loads and loads of footage filmed during the last 3 years. Come on man. Get on it please. Speaking for myself I am in desperate need to watch any footage from the tours that you can offer us. When I received the first dvd in the mail a couple of years ago, I was glued to the tv screen for a week watching the concert over and over again! During the first viewing I cried rivers of tears during Inca Roads as well as when I listened to the classic line which is the melody of Eat That Question. Frankly I enjoy this kind of thing over any form of the unnecessary socializing that most p…Read more

Frankly I enjoy this kind of thing over any form of the unnecessary socializing that most people engage in in their everyday life. Over the last 35 years, Frank's vast music catalogue which I am lucky to own fully filled up days upon days and nights upon nights of emptiness of the worst kind. Whenever I would be feeling down, only Frank's music could actually improve my mood if not actually succeeding to transform those depressing days into very happy ones! Whenever FZ's music starts to play on speakers or on a tv screen, I find myself genuinely smiling. Frank brought so much joy into my life with his music.
wow cool phenomena. was watching this while listening to zappa radio.. when i hit mute on zappa radio the video muted as well. i guess frank refuses to be silenced.
I hope soon you will start playing 2-3 nights at the same venue... I travel to see 3-4 shows a year, It would be nice for the variety. You guys rock and now have enough tunes to enjoy the cities you play in.
So father, do son

Perfection with soul !!!! ... what are the chances of the tour ever comming to Cape Town ... man we would be there in force!
What an Amazing Band.
Thanks Dweezil

I love this, you either get Zappa's music or you don't, and when you do, boy your life is better.
That is just awesome.

mmmmmm cool

Just bought the Japanese version of Apostrophe(') on CD. Still sounds amazing after all these years.
I agree with KenL. I used to love seeing two Frank shows back to back cuz they were never the same.
I hope soon you will start playing 2-3 nights at the same venue... I travel to see 3-4 shows a year, It would be nice for the variety. You guys rock and now have enough tunes to enjoy the cities you play in.
Oh yeah! See you in june.
Makes me want to travel home to california for the Ventura show June 10th.
