Zappa Plays Zappa was nothing short of amazing. I never saw Frank when he was alive so I only have this show and the few times I’ve seen Project Object and Beer for Dolpins to compare. And even those don’t quite compare…Ike Willis is an amazing musician, singer and showman and Kenneally can nail every Zappa song with ease…but seeing Dweezil playing along to the recordings of Frank on stage was something I never expected. I should explain…Dweezil and the band played most of the set, but on a couple of songs Frank accompanied them via recording. I’m sure some thought that was hokey but it came as a surprise to me and I really liked it. It was definitely the best show of the year and I got to hang with Mik and my buddy Keith who I haven’t seen since the Papa John’s days.
