[@sheldoncooper8199]

I am like 100 % certain Frank would ve loved to Play with this Band

[@absolutelypositively]

My life would be a LOT LESS rich had I not discovered Frank Zappa. And this Dweezil show is as good as any of the 2 dozen FZ shows I attended.

[@aboutdrums]

Dweezil Zappa did a great job reuniting all these guys to play some of his dad's repertoire. That music after all these years is still absolutely great, absolutely free and brilliant. ..Nothing comes close to that nowadays..

[@IgnatiusChinaski]

omfg - 2dozen? incredible. hope you saw the roxy line up in 73/74

[@MrPlooky]

the Dweez is my favorite guitarist right now, he can play anything his dad did, and then some..

[@ethericlimerick2992]

It seemed sacrilegious when I first had that thought.....

[@alienair1748]

I thought once that no one could really touch Frank, musically. That remains the case for multi-genre composition, but the guitar skills of Frank were met, matched and then surpassed by Dweezil. I couldnt believe that was possible, but his articulation and exploration was unreal. I saw The Hot Rats tour couple months back and was convinced that this band was not Son of Frank and 'cover band'. They are the real deal.

[@oliverfrank6133]

...and he does it apparently without raising a sweat

[@tonyedwards4067]

@@alienair1748....you really think dweezil will compose music like Frank did? I for one "don't think so"..

[@alienair1748]

@@tonyedwards4067 no sir.. I agree with you . he won't touch his Dad in the creative writing process, formulating and being that astronomically inventive. He is however a very impressive performer of Frank's stuff. I am convinced of that. His guit skills are freakishly good.

[@jankafka7330]

"A bunch of musicians who can really play their instruments, a rare and true miracle these days!!" Someone giving positive recognition to talented, excellent musicians is "a rare and true miracle these days". I've been watching a lot of Zappa videos lately and have been appalled by comments putting down the bands Frank used after the breakup of the original Mothers. Of course you see that sort of thing everywhere: People insulting virtuoso musicians as 'heartless' and 'soulless'. Ignorant, hateful, and disgusting.

[@kamaboko1]

It's incredible that they are playing this without any sheet music in front of them. Talk about a commitment to memory.

[@wheelie63]

good point...................wb

[@Gregorypeckory]

It is impressive, but I do believe there was at least one tablet onstage. Still, they are incredibly tight and well rehearsed, just like Frank's bands. I think Dweezil modeled the whole project on the way Frank did things, including brutally hard auditions, and paying the band for rehearsing full time for several months before making a dime, so the shows will be top notch, and it works!

[@Idogomusic]

That 50/50 version is incredible, and Dweezil is such a beast. Actually, they all are.

I love the Song Andy such a great Blues Rock

[@alexhofberg8768]

I once saw a show in Portland where Dweezil synched up the band to footage of Frank playing lead on a huge screen behind the band. Dweezil crossed him arms over his guitar and allowed his to solo... The look on Dweezil's face told me how much he loves and misses, and admires his father.. we all do

[@glenscymanski1273]

I was at that show...it was the best show I've ever been to my Son-in-law and daughter took me. We were absolutely blown away how tight everyone was.

[@richardhill444]

Such beautiful music, thanks Dweez...

[@VangeliRock]

Going to a Dweeliz show is one of the best musical experiences you'll ever have...been twice here in Toronto and it's just mind blowing. This is a bit of different line up that I saw, but sounds like they just as good.

[@mixolydian2010]

Saw him at Manchester Apollo a few years ago with Napoleon Murphy Brock, i was howling laughing at his attics and they did a great Roxy set and it was mind blowing especially Village of the sun with Steve Vai on rhythm guitar into Echidnas Arf one of my all time favourite Zappa sequences, i get goose bumps thinking about it!

[@hapax87]

E.K I 'll have to agree with you. I've seen Dweezil with Zappa Plays Zappa twice, and the lineup was different than this one, but every bit as good. I was blown away by their sheer musicianship. I was fortunate to see Frank and his band back in the early 70s, after the Mothers of Invention broke up.

[@aboutdrums]

Going to el dweezil show is so divine

[@aleji0]

May have the name, and his dad had great musicians, including himself, to show him stuff, but what Dweezil has accomplished is really nothing more than the result of incredibly hard work. I badly need to see ZPZ if the world ever truly reopens.

[@bobdraup7212]

incredibly DEVINE! Hats off to you Dweezil and to all your musicians, I know by heart all those songs for about 40 years. Frank is for sure very very proud of your work. Thank you so much, I've been sheding a lot of tears hearing and watching this masterpiece concert. Greetings from France!

outstanding musicianship - muffin man guitar work just brilliant

[@garywharton2148]

Dwezil, I dont know if you ever read any of these but here goes, you are truly a master of your art,having that vast databank of Franks work and you do what I suspect that Frank did not by being able to play what he wrote for every instrument in the ensemble on your guitar,. I am probably wrong. but ive never heard him do it.Thank you for carrying the torch,im sure your father would be very proud of you. And like Frank,you have assembled some of the finest musicians around,I am especially impressed by your second guitarist/vocalist ,much like Ike was to your dad .Well anyway Peace , Hippygary

Astounding musicianship throughout. Exceedingly well done, Dweezil & amazing friends! Hi, Scheila!

[@jimstaszko1675]

I was at this show, my 3rd Dweezil show, it's been fun seeing him mature into his own man, putting himself into Frank's music instead of just reciting it note for note (like the first time I saw him). But that first time with Napoleon Murphy Brock was a treat, and tour two with Steve Vai and Terry Bozzio was incredible. I was lucky enough to see Frank 7 times before his passing.

[@gilray1977]

I listened to a few tunes but needed to get on with my day. So, I skipped down to Son of Orange county and Trouble every Day. My eyes totally watered up then I began actually crying. A few chest heaves, deep breaths and a focus return later.... Frank's music just touches my soul in such an existential way. But who can, who will perform it ? Dweezil and the band that's who ! Please keep it up Dweez....This (Frank's) music, so feeds my soul. and be able to hear it performed accurately and live occasionally. is pure soul food :)

[@periurban]

One of my all time favourite sections of any album. I feel too!

Wow. Everyone played there buts off. Dweezil your guitar playing is fantastic. You have your dads sound at times. You have some Steve Via shreds as I know you guys play and hang out together. You’ve mixed them together and made them your own. I’m sorry I missed the show that came through my area a couple of years ago. Fantastic

[@countrykeith6518]

Some day I'd live to have the chance to personally explain to Dweezil just how much Frank's music meant to me growing up in the 60's. I truly appreciate DZ and his ridiculously technical bandmates because this stuff is incredibly difficult to play. However, I am even more appreciative of the way they lovingly play it. Bless them all and thank you for sharing this concert!

my favorite touring band since 2006. Dweezil has mastered playing Frank's music and even made some of the solo's his own. I see him everytime he comes to Phoenix. Tucson once.

[@lextual]

Listening to Dweezil's solo at about 55:25, it sounds most like Dweezil playing Frank with a bit less Lightning Hopkins influence that Frank used a lot. I think that is how he is playing nowadays, whereas back when he started the ZPZ thing it was more Frank-like...

Tell me about it! You would think that "The Trust" would be GLAD to have Frank Zappa's timeless music promoted further (especially given that Dweezil has done such a stellar job of playing it as it was meant to be heard -- such dedication; a labor of love in honor of his dad!) and presented to as many people as possible to keep it alive so that it will never be lost to history! This music needs and deserves to be HEARD!

[@Gregorypeckory]

Don't let it get you down; Dweezil's response was great; calling the next tour, "Dweezil Zappa Plays Whatever The Fuck He Wants" or something-correct me if I'm wrong. The point is, to me Dweezil's answer makes the point "look, you can tell me to call it something else, but if I call a Frank Zappa music project played by his son, a "peanut butter sandwich" it is still the same thing, and most Frank fans already know what it is, so you're trying to put the cat back in the bag but it won't work, so fuck off".
