Zappa Plays Zappa - Oh No/ Son Of Orange County/Trouble Everyday

[@lindalandeiro2414]

Good all days of music

[@renatocohen6556]

Napoleon's voice still the same as 50 years ago, amazing

[@jtcheezus]

It seems even better to me, like he has better control.

[@alocyn]

Still a great voice but, Hey, not the same volume and brilliancy...

[@unoffendable3496]

Dad would be so proud

[@TheTommyboy63]

Love the tone of those DW's

[@daleboothby5644]

🎉❤😊awesome drums and drumming 😊

[@isabellalove2832]

Amazing, napoleons voice is as strong in 1974. Frank would be so proud of his amazing son

[@pequeuxdarleux1480]

it's the "Emperor" Napoleon.

[@charlesspencer9626]

All the guitar heroes that everyone touts but so little attention for Dweezil, such a monster in his own right. Consummate stuff.

[@Gregorypeckory]

It seems like that has changed significantly, since stuff like this has been out there for a while, with Dweezil showing his incredible improvisation skills every night, particularly holding his own in duels with Vai. His band leading skills are even more impressive for my money, particularly given that they never shy away from the more difficult and arcane stuff like The Black Page. I agree that he is an absolute monster, and I am eternally grateful that he took on this ambitious project and really delivered the goods!

[@RuanOTiarnaigh]

Its hard to shine in the shadow of Frank... but a very fine mucian. Moreover... Keeping Franks music alive makes him a hero in my eyes for that alone.

[@BoneyWhy]

I don't think anyone has sold Dweezil short in any way. Why the need to always make some sort of statement? It was a great show. (Although, I think the Zappa family certainly owes him gratitude, especially the untalented ones who stifled him for so long.)

[@tomthepoolman3243]

Dweezil rips up Son of Orange County. Frank is surely smiling and proud.

[@kevincolby77]

The bestest of the bestest...

[@liquidband6817]

takes a lot of balls to go to toe to toe with Steve Vai like that! Viva Le Dweez!

[@gsmarin1]

Napoleon on vocals, Steve Vai with Dweezil for some face melting guitar, and Terry Bozzio with a dainty drum kit. Frank would be proud..

[@BoomerMusicCompany]

That's Joe Travers on drums, not Bozzio.

[@johns8848]

@@BoomerMusicCompany Bozzio appears around 1730 mark ;)

[@fishhuntadventure]

Not typically my style but interesting nonetheless. What I found most intriguing was when the sax came in- albeit totally different overall in genre and style with Vai, et al- I thought of some of the later shows that Merle Haggard did, incorporating many instruments and style (atypical of country music) and just made a listenable show. The variety and style melding might not be good for eight hours a day, but as a musical departure from the trash on the radio this is listenable.

So so brilliant!!!! Always loved Frank's music thanks be that Dwezzel is carrying the flame And Napoleon what a voice!!! Thank you

[@carloslerma914]

Thank you Mikey, for sharing this with us the Zappa fans worldwide You sir are a Mensch 😃

[@tonivelvaldi1660]

i’m so glad Dweezil took the proper time off to reinvent his style to that of Franks. totally worth it

[@Drivethebeat]

I guess..😌 But then what about his own style 🤷

[@dominicdit]

@@Drivethebeat In olden times, people would pass down their skill generation to generation. The Zappa style lives on through Dweezil, which is, in all likely-hood, a more precious flame to keep alive than what Dweezil would do otherwise. Also, nothing is stopping the dweez from doing his own thing alongside ZPZ

[@fishhuntadventure]

@@Drivethebeat What's to say this isn't his style? And further: not just any band or individual could necessarily pick up and do this. At all. It would sound worse than an talent night at the local bar.

[@kosta60]

Without shit ugly zappa, the music World would be much better 🤣 🤣

[@dlxinfinite7098]

Oh No is just simply beautiful music. Octave jumping melody, meter changes, it's always been my favorite.

I played along with the entire performance. note per note. Soon after, I woke up.

[@scottkinney7936]

I was at the show. It was recorded at the Paramount theater in Seattle and then made into a three DVD compact. Probably one of the best performances I ever witnessed I never got a chance to see Zappa but this was the closest thing to it and it was mesmerizing

[@esjope]

Dweezil has done so much for the average folks we are

[@robzbuzz]

Oh man I saw this lineup at the old felt forum in NYC on Halloween. Which was a Frank tradition that I always attended. Thank you dweeze nap bozio and Vai for making Frank's music ring out on Halloween again.

[@LForehand]

I was at that show! It was incredible. That was the first tour of ZPZ. Really incredible night of music with Vai, Bozzio, and Nap.. To me, Dweezil really proved that he was carrying the torch that night.

[@Monsterdrumma]

Bozzio is Godly back there, just love his drumming man! Next level and just the passion in his playing is untouchable!

[@robertdillon9989]

Truly amazing and intense experience, I saw Frank in my teens , and that was life changing! And I had no idea Deeezil was sooooo good !!!!!! RIP Dynamo (hum)

[@dougrobertson555]

[@FTZPLTC]

Man, you normally couldn't pay me to sit through a drum solo, but Bozzio is a great exception.

[@MattChampion]

Check out Chester Thompson's drum solo on "Don't You Ever Wash That Thing?" on the Roxy and Elsewhere album. It comes in from out of nowhere and is just as musical and interesting as the full band sections.

[@MichaelTobin-m1d]

Mikey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann thank you

[@bikingfencer]

Saw this band in Atlanta; got a shirt, got it autographed; what a wonderful experience.

[@ericwedin4154]

Such a beautiful song, short but great

[@hugoiksa4651]

My friend Joe (rip) and i saw this show and 10 others of the "Zappa plays Zappa" series over the years. No voice left, barely able to stand, let alone walk to the car. So happy. Still happy all these years later.

Wow, what an incredible performance! We need Dweezil to tour again and keep Franks music alive. Thanks for posting!

[@Gregorypeckory]

Everything about this performance is beyond great; everyone is amazing, and the guitar solos and conversations were absolutely inspired, beautiful, fun and even hilarious at times! This is a rock band of superhuman ability, playing the music of the most serious rock/classical composer of the 20th century, as well or better than the original! It was an amazing, historic tour anyone who saw it knew would be a once in a lifetime high point of concert going!

[@darth_vyper]

Never forget when i saw them in Michigan on the Dweezil Plays Whatever The Fuck He Wants Tour, my mind still cant fathom the experience, i was also high af on shrooms

[@pequeuxdarleux1480]

Frank Zappa venait d'une autre planète : je ne vois pas d'autres probabilités. Composer de tels chefs d'oeuvre sur autant d'albums magnifiques...ce mec est une énigme : et voilà que son fils à hérité de son génie ?

[@Dususdo]

I saw Frank on the Black Napkins tour and saw Dweezil in York UK and was blown away by his performance. Personally, though I think Stevie is an amazing talent I always feel he doesn't fit in a Zappa set

[@fishhuntadventure]

True. Not a Vai-style fan, not being critical, just not my thing. But he still stands as one at the top of the game in his genre, but the "classical" influence that wove into Zappa productions is the missing element with Vai. Probably not important overall but notable with a zappa event.

[@tehf00n]

Saw Dweezil last month and he had a singer that did a great impression of Frank. It would have been nice to see the immortal NMB though.

[@mikemaas9944]

Amen. Love Napoleon. My favorite member. Besides Frank of course

[@frankvandam2605]

Melkweg, Amsterdam. Werkelijk geniaal.

[@SwooopieShark]

And that my friends, is why Steve Vai is the best technical guitar player ever.

[@fishhuntadventure]

I always have trouble when someone says, "best ever" because at the pinpoint of the top of the eschelon there are few- yet many. And the comparison one to another is neither relevant nor appropriate. Knopfler, Atkins, Campbell, Ann Wilson, I could go on. Who is 'best?' Doesn't really matter now, does it?
