Zappa Plays Zappa

[elmer]

Haven't seen the new DVD yet but did see the Dweez in 07 great show. Elmer to have seen Zappa and the Mothers in 1970 at the Fillmore East (w/Flo and Eddie et al) must have been awesome in person, thank god we have some very nice recording available from that period. Franks was the man.

I've seen Frank live several times. An unforgettable experience. This performance is exciting especially since many of his old cohorts are performing here. Frank was good to other musicians that came along. Lowell George had played with Zappa, but one day Frank told him that he had too much soul for his group. Of course, he went on to fame with his own group, Little Feat. Unfortunately, Lowell died a few years later.My favorite 2 discs from Frank was Apostrophe & Overnite Sensation. Stay away from the yellow snow! In terms of son Dweezil. I always had a strange feeling about him. I don't think that he feels comfortable as the front man in any group. He lets everyone else take center court, while he is just too layed back. Also, whatever happened to sister Moon Unit?

give the dweev a view on this show. abd I have seen short takes from certain shows with Moon and her daughter on stage. with Moon doing of course "Valley Girls"

The DVD from 2008 is the only one currently available for ZPZ - there was talk of a second live DVD from the 2009 - 2010 line-up - but that has yet to materialize.
