Zappa Plays Zappa – The Evidence
I caught the Zappa Plays Zappa show last night at the Verizon Wireless Theater. I had seen the Zappa Plays Zappa show last year featuring Terry Bozzio and Steve Vai and it was spectacular.
This time around the special guest was Ray White who’s vocals and guitar work show up on such notable Zappa discs as Zappa In New York, You Are What You Is and Läther just to name a few.
The opening guitar duet with Frank was awesome, and maybe a little creepy. Father and son jamming together from beyond the grave.
And there were times during the show that Dweezil actually started to look a bit like his father….
It was a great concert and well worth staying up past my bedtime on a school night to go see.
There’s a ton more pics in the gallery.

Zappa Plays Zappa – Tour De Frank
Dweezil Zappa is returning to Houston for another show. This is VERY exciting as I thought the last show was incredible and that it was also a one time deal.
They’re back at Verizon Wireless Theatre again. Show date is Nov 12 and tickets are on sale at Ticketmaster.
There’s a tour blog at the official site which can be found here and you can see the musician lineup here.
In reading the ZPZ official site I learned that Dweezil has released a new album called Go With What You Know which features a guitar duet with his father where Dweezil actually plays along with Frank’s guitar solo from the original ‘Hot Rats’ master tapes. That sounds like something worth hearing.
The show last year was phenomenal. It seemed odd to be going to hear Frank’s music sans Frank, but there were times in the show where you could really feel his presence. Dweezil does a good job or representing his father’s work and I expect this show to be even better than the last one.
