Zappa Plays Zappa – The Evidence


Click for full size

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.

I’ve been rather tickled that many of my photos have ended up in places like Myspace as bands’ and friends’ profile pictures. I’ve even had a few show up in photo galleries on more official band web sites.

I am almost always asked for permission and my only stipulation is a photo credit, a link back to my site and please ask first. I think that’s fair.

For now it’s cool and novel to just give them away in such a manner. It’s free publicity, not that I am looking to go pro or anything (yet). Besides, what else would I do with them other than let them languish on my hard drive…

A few weeks ago I was contacted by the webmaster for Wayne “The Train” Hancock about using some of my photos on the web site. I’m a pretty big fan and this was fine by me. I gave the guy permission to use what he wanted from my site. There’s no money involved, but I do get a photo credit and a link back to my site so that’s pretty cool.

I just got an e-mail from the webmaster letting me know the pics had been added to Wayne’s photo gallery. What he didn’t tell me was that one of them is on the entry page.

Rock on!
