Absolutely stunning performance ( again ) !!! For an instant I forgot, that it wasn´t Frank, that I was listening to. Dweezil hit the nail on the head again ! Love this music, and ZPZ is always an awesome experience. Greetings to everybody who love good music, from Helsinki, Finland !
The fact that Steve Vai, as an 18 year old kid, had the balls and skills to play with Frank Zappa is a testament to his genius. Even his mentor, Joe Satriani, admits that he is jealous at times over his natural talent.
Dweezil is more than a "chip off the old block"; he is the "block off the old chip". In other words he more than emulates his old man. What a great musician!-- and the other members of the band are virtuosic to say the least!
It's rare when a song written in what 1966 was relevant for those times and then jump forward 54 years later and here in fucked up 2020 it's still just as relevant! Frank Zappa was such an amazing unlimitedly talented genius...such a loss this world could use a couple hundred thousand Frank Zappa's
It does not get any better than this. Love it when Dweezil hits just the one note during the solo and messes with Steve Vai's head. The shear enjoyment of such great musicians playing as a band is overwhelming. Arf.
The guitar-feast is awesome and reminds me a bit of the smoking riffs I heard when Carlos Santana and John McLaughlin played during their "Love Devotion Surrender" tour in 1973. Saw Frank Zappa & the Mothers with Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band touring together that same year. Sooo, I'm old? ;) Grateful to have heard them all. What a great time to be alive!
Steve Vai... wow. I've never been a huge guitar god lovin' dude, but man oh man, what a friggin genius. His understanding of the guitar and how to manipulate it is beautiful. A true magician.
Just saw him a few weeks ago at the Keswick in Glenside. Brought tears to my eyes. Got to speak to him after the show. Thanked him for keeping his fathers music fresh and alive. Going again in March in Delaware.
NMB has such a great voice, I could listen to him sing all day and night too. And that unmistakable righteous guitar playing of Stevie Vai, and of course Terry Bozzio. Wow what a treat!
Thank you, Dad. Thanks for introducing me to Zappa. And thanks for taking me to see Dweezil do the whole set of Roxy and Elsewhere live. I'll never forget it.
A friend invited me in 1978 to see Frank Zappa. I was very young about 16 year's old. I had seen a little about music like Dire Strait, Fleetwood Mac, Genesis and some belgian bands but i always remembered that night in Brussel. I didn't know nothing about Zappa and when i heared his music i understood music was different, everything possible and funny and since then, Zappa's universe makes me believe in something else about human being, hope maybe whatever. I even went to USA to see him 5 times, Zappa was kind of an extra influence and when i listen his son i know that i didn't fool myself to love his music. Bravo Mister Dweezil!
I feel so sad for people who just don't get this music. I couldn't stop smiling the entire video, just too amazing.
Napoleon is so brilliant. What a voice!

That version of Son of Orange County is just plain enormous !!!
I've seen both Frank and Dweezil live. Both were transcendent experiences.

Still watching this in 2019!

Probably the best 30-minute piece of music I've ever heard. Just WOW!

Frank's compositions were absolutely genius, always room for a good musician to roam. The kid is a CHIP OF THE OL' BLOCK, for sure...
Love you Frank, you are missed. With us in Spirit Always.

Son of Orange County has my favorite Zappa guitar solo.
