19 here, I quite literally have NEVER found someone my age who likes or even has ever listened to Zappa. I quite literally will never get why people don’t love the zapp like it’s the most beautifully composed music maybe ever
I think it’s because you can’t just try a little bit of Frank, and then get back to it later… you have to jump in, stay in, and stay focused on what’s happening!! And in my case start studying his work. One of my older friends always played Zappa, but would turn it off when I got there, because he thought i wouldn’t like it! 50 albums and videos later, i ended up teaching him a lot about Frank!!😁✌🏼🎶Frank it up!!!
Not to disparage Mom's cooking but think of a time when you got to try something completely different (for me King Crab, Chile Relleno and Hibachi cooking come to mind) that you really liked and you enjoyed it so much that you wanted to try everything that you could from that style of food or cooking. There's a lot of folks who just don't enjoy or appreciate something different, unique and wonderful that way. Similarly there are just a lot of folks who just want the same mass produced basic musical hamburger. Since Frank created many varied styles, Doo Wop, Rock, Jazz, Classical, Experimental if you like someone enough to try and "convert" them try exposing them to some FZ that's in a style they appreciate. Also try to learn to recognize boring burger burnouts and just avoid 'em (look up teaching a pig to sing for added clarity). Finally, there are true fans from all ages. nationalities and walks of life out there. They are a bit fewer and farther between but they are there. To boost your moral check out some of the new wave like The College Rhythm Orchestra th-cam.com/video/E0Pw7aPElqA/w-d-xo.html , The Berklee College of Music www.berklee.edu/berklee-now/berklee-frank-zappa-tribute-wakajawaka-inca-roads-peaches-en-regalia-zomby-woof and the UH Hilo Jazz Orchestra th-cam.com/video/CePLRGcMz5Y/w-d-xo.html . Then there's the obvious. Dweezil is touring the Apostrophe 50th Anniversary now. Dweezil & Co. are amazing & you're guaranteed a Zappa Freak audience. FZ4EVER !

If you listened to this with your eyes closed, you would swear it was FZ and his Mothers circa 75, yes the music is still living, thank you Dweezil for keeping your dad's works alive and breathing, more than thirty years after his voice went silent....
Dweeze is the best thing Frank created. He is a badass like his Dad and he keeps the music alive. Thank you Dweezle, you are a force of positive greatness.
+John Hamilton You have a point. How to compare Frank's musical contribution with his son's incredible effort to learn and keep on playing Frank's music? I hope that he shows us some gems that were never popular or even known by most fans. Now that, apparently, all of his works will be published after Gail's death. What a gal!
+John Hamilton that's a joke, right? Without the Dweez, the music would still be alive. Don't really see anything badass about him, to be honest. The whole show lacks eyebrows, and Dweez never striked me as a great thinker, satirist or someone with a sharp wit.
John Hamilton: Only partially correct I'm afraid. The best thing Frank created, by a million miles, is The UMRK Archives! Which unfortunately is now in the hands of utter muppets! He should have left it to The Smithsonian! Gail Zappa has a lot to answer for! She blew it big time!
In my opinion Dweezil is doing a great job with playing close to FZ's incredible guitar sound. The rest of the band on the other hand sound like they are just playing sheet music. FZ had some extremely unique and creative people in his bands, Dweezil should do the same and care less about playing all the right notes.

The audio is phenomenal, stereo imaging is nice and deep. Even through cheap earbuds this sounds exquisite. Frank's music never gets old, it just stands out more and more with time.
You don't know how much I appreciate this, to have a live, contemporary rendering of Frank's genius. I've been around for awhile, but didn't get into Frank until maybe the last five or six years or so, so I never saw him playing live, except from past recordings, of course. And to see it live, as it's happening with GREAT musicians is just a sight to behold and a gem to put into my box of priceless experiences. I knew of Frank growing up, but I was more of a metal guy, so didn't venture out much, but since 2000, when I say the music died, at least for me, TH-cam has been a blessing. Since I've rediscovered Frank and gone deep into his catalogue of genius, I've binged. It takes me about 3-4 months to go through his 80 recordings (and TH-cam live gems), but when I'm done, I just start over again. Thanks Dweeze and God bless you all. RIP big guy. Love!
+Dave Hamilton Agreed these guys are tight , I've saw 2 versions of The Mothers & then FZ solo nearly a dozen times spanning 30 yrs & other than the antics & banter from guys like flo , Eddie & Frank I prefer the tone Dweezils band uses over the FZ tones,most of the time , as George Duke said I think they play the music better than we did .
I was fortunate enough to see FZ live three times; twice at the Uptown in Chicago '80 & '81 (including the panty quilt tour), and lastly at the Tower in Philly in '88 (on Valentines Day!). It was great every time, especially the last, Frank really played with the audience that evening. All that said, Dweezil is the closest it gets and heir apparent. They do have the benefit of an immense catalog and all the recorded arrangements from which to draw, but to pull it all off so masterfully is the best tribute to FZ I can think of. I think he'd be pleased. Of course the icing on all of this is the improvements in how well it's all captured and presented, even since the 80s. The fidelity of the mix and video are astounding by comparison. It's comforting to know Frank's musical legacy is in good hands.
Edison Girard ah ha ha ha ha the quilt lmfao ,I forgot about that ,idk if they are in the quilt or not but my wife tossed her panties on the stage at every VS concert we attended ,including the last 2 tours ,I've yet to see the quilt in person ,I think I read someplace before there was an internet that Frank never washed any of the panties ,I hope the artist did lol
Dweezle is wonderful and I'm glad he is bringing Frank's music to a wider audience. As someone who got to see Frank perform live several times between 1971 and 1980, I am delighted with what ZPZ is doing here--great musicians! They really BRING IT here.
Seen Dweez 4 times now in England. And every time he has blown my mind. As his father before him, he doesn't know how much these tunes have affected so many. This is other worldly to many dumb mortals. But for those that know what is involved, it is pure musical bliss. Glad I'm one of those that understand the skills involved.
Hi ich durfte 1975 das erste mal mit 15 Jahrin Berlin sehen und bin froh das sein Sohn so gut sein können uns schenkt. Danke Familie Zappa für den Ohren Schmaus
I've just seen them in Perth, Australia. Knew I would enjoy it but didn't know how deeply it would move me...it's been a while since I was in the Zappa universe. Pure Joy....thank you for this Mr. Dave :-)
I for one have no taste, so that is why I am here, because Frank knew that. Tipper Gores have taste, and they also want to dictate to us tasteless folk who enjoy an occasional python boot, or a sears poncho
I will put up a torrent as I seem to be the only fuckin guy on the internet with this....I got feedback from the Zappas....super fine and now they have my copy.....stayed tuned and smile :)

Who came here after the Rick beato interview with Dweezil? Finally had the time to really listen to Zappa.. fucking brilliant and dweezil is carrying the torch..!
This is Frank's afterlife; there's nothing else like this on earth, so THANK YOU. I was lucky to see the band around the time this show was recorded... one of the best nights of my life.
Omg, so perfect. I listened to Frank Zappa for 20 years, and then I stopped when he died. I never though anyone would ever be able to play his difficult music true. I thank you from the bottom of my soul and regret I never checked, sigh... I am close to 70 now, this was a pain releaf, hehe.
Saw the show in Boston opening for Return To Forever IV... Dweezil and the band held their own. It was a great show featuring music from two of my favorite performers...
These guys have done an amazing job with Franks music, and Dweezle did his dad proud here. Can you tell I'm the biggest Frank Zappa fan on the planet ... lol. I have seen Frank many, many times. Good stuff !!!
The Dweez is a great musician, and superb guitarist. He sentenced himself to live in the shadow of his father's giant ouvre in order to do justice to his unique body of work. This takes immense bravery, and an even deeper humility. I bow before this man.
I've had the good fortune to see Frank and Dweezil play many times. Frank and his various bands were wonderful back in the day when he was considered eccentric by many pros and fans. Even so his music was timeless and perfect. Dweezil and his various bands play Frank's music, but with a cautionary twist. It's not note for note, and it shouldn't be. His son is interpreting Frank's music with flair and dignity. I've seen ZPZ 12 times all over the world with many different cast members. This is as good as it gets folks. Seeing them, just like Frank in small venues up close and personal is magic. If they ever come to your town..... See them at all costs! Carry on ZPZ!
Seconded ! Saw FZ 4 times at the Montreal Forum Have seen ZPZ 6 times (Montreal 3, Ottawa 2, and Laval 1) All shows blew me away forever ! FZ, DZ, and FZ's music are the best !
Having been a lifelong fan of Frank Zappa's music ever since I bought Hot Rats, I love what his son has done and continues to do with this fantastic band. Dweezil's dad would have been proud of him. I must try and see them when they are in the UK next. Martin
Oh my goodness. What refreshing renditions of your dad's songs. Exquisitely put onto stage for our listening pleasure. Some legacy kept alive. Pure joy. Thank you with a truly capital T! ;-)
Seen dad 12 times live. Every Halloween in NYC for years. Changed my life, for real. Thru away all my Beatles albums after I heard Peaches at age 13. It’s 53 years and it’s still delicious!! So wonderful to see Dweezil play as good as pops
What amazing experience!! I'm 52, & I still wondering why my parents took the wrong musical tastes🥶. I discovered Frank by myself & I got addicted seriously. He is my Mentor.
Excellent show, well performed. Good to see Dweezil is still doing the Zappa plays Zappa shows. Hope he keeps doing them for years to come. As of 2022, he is now one year older than his Dad when he passed. Scary thing. Frank left us far too soon.
Wow I have had the privledge of seeing his father 78 times !! I have saw zappa does zappa at the university of Michigan and steve vie and Malmsteen and Joe SatchMo the best show I have ever seen
What a great concert. Frank, may he rest in piece, must be proud of his son. I have seen almost all Mothers of Invention concerts in Copenhagen since the late 60's and Dweezil lives up to handling that hard legacy. Sorry I missed his last show a month ago here, but I hope they will come back next year.
GREAT GREAT LINE UP of songs . Basically all of One Size Fits... Last time in San Diego, saw Dweezil play the entire Apostrophe album. At the House of Blues it was a great concert. Many of the same players from this video which was cool. My favorite Sheila she plays keys, then grabs a saxophone and belts it out and then, sings, to boot!
My mom got me my first Zappa album in 1970 by chance. She worked for a magazine and they had a table full of promo albums so she just grabbed a handful having no idea what what I would like. I never heard of Zappa but the album cover of "Weasels Ripped My Flesh" stood out from the pile. "Toads Of The Short Forest" was the first song I enjoyed, it helped me ease into Zappa. Got to see him live in 1975 for one of his NYC legendary Halloween concerts. And I've been a lifelong fan ever since.
Greg Chick I am too. Lump in the throat, goosebumps, the lot! 🤣🤪I haven’t had the pleasure to see Dweezil yet. Will not miss him next time🤞This band nailed it.
Oh well I’m 72 now thanks to all of you pumping out the best content anywhere anytime it all started when I heard The Return of the son of monster magnet 🧲 on Freak Out !! My tiny transistor Radio flung me into the world master FZ 😁👍still listening and laughing and loving it !! Thanks Dweeze!!,
Dweezil Zappa is an outstanding musician and guitarist too much underrated. He does incredible things without any apparent effort. A real phenomenon in my opinion.
I agree with you ! Dweezil got the music and he can play and get a hot band together to share his Father's legacy to the world........To do this , is love for his Father..... Frank Zappa..!!!!!!! Dweezil thank you for the joy.......Arf ! Arf !!!! 😊
I saw this in the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver BC Canada Nov 29 2015....the band loved the venue and I have seen Beefhreart, King Crimson and the Clash to name a few...world class hall and was just so fun :))))
yes, Don Van Vliet and band two shows at the Commodore, went to both. Gentle Giant, Zwalinul, Crimson, Dregs , ZZ Top - great place with under 800 people.
I've seen Dweezil four times and took his master guitar class. He is such a classy dude and he represents his father so well. Nonetheless we must recognize his personal skill as a guitarist. He is not derivative; he's unique, just like his father. You put Frank on any top xx list and you have to put Dweezil on it too.
I got to see Frank once. The "Best Band You Never Heard In Your Life" tour. Yeah, I know. I was one of the few lucky Americans to see that show. Saw Dweezil and Co. on the "Hot Rats" tour. What an extraordinary night. Dweezil is the real deal. I didn't know if anyone would be able to keep Frank's music alive, but the kid's a chip off the old block for sure.
Haven't seen Dweezil yet, but I saw Frank every year between 1972 and 1984. Great concerts. Any of these people could have played with Frank. He expected perfection, and this lineup provides it.
THey totally rock. Love ya Frank. thank goodness I grew up in the 60's & 70's. saw Frank Zappa in High school and the year after as well. Genius!! thank you for deep post man. wow. Dweezil Yawl Rock Man!!
Just discovered this vid, and I LOVE IT.. THANKS SO MUCH! Big patriot hugs from Austria to all the real Patriots all over the world. For a better world, with all kinds of culture. L&P
I love all of the performances on this recording, and especially San Ber'dino, which in my view is one of Frank Zappa's greatest compositions. Dweezil's playing, so well heard, is wonderful. And the keyboard player, whoever he is, is a master.
When about 13 years old - I heard Zappa for the first time. I was at my cousins house (mid-seventies) and she said "hey listen to this (before I actually started to play guitar) tell me what you think." I was blown away - not because of the genius / musicianship, but because of the "crazy" MIX of the genius and musicianship! I was completely "weirded" out by it. At first, I thought it was ugggg, then I thought it was non-sense, then I came the "you gotta be high" to get it, then came ..... BOOM - after listening to several albums I understood this to be from a completely different level far surpassing anything I had heard before (or since) because of the "mind" needed to put this all together. I still am in bewildered when I hear it today. As a player and musician now, I still have a hard time grasping the mental genius needed to do this. Playing it is one thing - COMPOSING it is another.
I am so glad this stayed up and got a thx ;) I researched and its public domain and great PR (Is an 8 gig file to begin with)....I only wanted to help and was in heaven in Vancouver at the Commodore Ballroom....much better venue than this and was amazing :D
Joe and I were there! It was an awesome evening. All told Joe and I saw Dweezil 12 times including one turn in the Hendrix experience. Of the 11 Zappa music shows, I think this one is my favorite. Altho every single one of them was amazing in it's own right.
the last time I saw Zappa and the mothers was in Austin. Armadillo... then in 88 I saw him in at the Nassau coliseum. Different arrangements and the music was definitely Frank... this is a goodie.... thank you Dweezil
That composition with all the different time signatures was something you just don't hear every day. Quite a tribute to his dad. I'm not into life-after-death, but if so Frank would have a smile for that one. Eseil
Saw frank many times I still have a great sense of the year I was turned on 72 I was a drummer and I had seen buddy rich after 3yrs ofl lessons and I had a good feel with my set I could play any group then saw the mothers Jimmy Carl Black wow I was hooked have played now for 48yrs they were so good it was like you don't need to go to another show you just saw perfection thanks dwez for the memories
waouh dweezil and your super band , MUSICIANS AND YOU , steve pfou !!!! i saw your father on 1978 in france ... cambrai and morer in france ... ; im french ... great great your" reprise " waoooooouuuhh ! genial thy i love too much
The way I see it now is that The black page was only a study for Sinister footwear. Kind of a son of the blackpage. Great stuff. Also check out the Bohuslän Big Band on this title. Peace to all you Zappa fans out there!
If anyone would like the original file contact me...its 8 gigs and an MKV @ 720p with major sound options. I just love the music so I had to find it and I did...its what I do.
+Dave Hamilton I was at this show. I would love to get a pristine copy of it.; Please let me know how to contact you. I found out that Live Nation was going to stream it as I arrived at the venue and tried to text/email everyone I could to let them know, but no one got the message or saw the show. this version is fabulous--very good quality, sight and sound. Thanks for the upload. The fact that you posted it the day after my birthday makes it a great gift as well.
+Dave Hamilton I would beg and bark arf arf for a copy of this, I am easy to find online greg chick, aka ramonasplumber. How on earth is this not going viral, this is as sick as a potion from thing fish!
+Dave Hamilton I would love a copy. Right after this concert aired the few cuts that were posted were promptly deleted. I really hope this one stays up here.
Saw Frank and the Mothers 3 times and this is really, really good stuff folks. Thank you Dweezil. I'm a senior now and you and your band are on my bucket list.
Saw Frank in 1973 here in Richmond Va. Sold out t he first show so we were able to get second row seats to the second show. Awesome. Thanks for sharing this
really an extraordinary performance! hats off to all the musicians and their commitment to practice so hard in order to be able to play FZs music! thanks a lot! i particularly like that crazy "odd meter"-part in "The grand wazoo" around 1:20:00 ... ;-)

I'm sure. Frank would be very proud of his son. His music is priceless and to hear it performed this well is such a joy.
Not as proud as Joe Biden is of his son HUNTER

@@spankduncan1114He did put out his own music. It's clear that this is what he enjoys doing.
And didn't He have to go to court with His siblings to do it?
I'am 75. Still tears coming up with this guitarsolo (dad and son)
Stumbled across this "opus" last night and stayed up into the wee hours with it. Amazing musicianship for amazing music.
Off the charts, Frank would be beaming. Dweez has become so technically excellent on guitar it's stunning. What a great tribute to Dad.
I went to this concert when I was 13, it was really a great time. I cheered when Dweezil introduced Status Back Baby I can hear myself

Took 3 years to see this probably cuz I sleep in a phone booth . Glad to see franks music still out here. Play wtf you want to

Yup, and the chip didn't fall far from the tree, this kid rocks! As for the SQ it's well above standard for TH-cam, considering it's a lossy format.
You don't know how much I appreciate this, to have a live, contemporary rendering of Frank's genius. I've been around for awhile, but didn't get into Frank until maybe the last five or six years or so, so I never saw him playing live, except from past recordings, of course. And to see it live, as it's happening with GREAT musicians is just a sight to behold and a gem to put into my box of priceless experiences. I knew of Frank growing up, but I was more of a metal guy, so didn't venture out much, but since 2000, when I say the music died, at least for me, TH-cam has been a blessing. Since I've rediscovered Frank and gone deep into his catalogue of genius, I've binged. It takes me about 3-4 months to go through his 80 recordings (and TH-cam live gems), but when I'm done, I just start over again. Thanks Dweeze and God bless you all. RIP big guy. Love!
+Frankincensed anyone who has seen Frank ( I have 6 times) will tell you how genius and well played this is...no question.
+Dave Hamilton Agreed these guys are tight , I've saw 2 versions of The Mothers & then FZ solo nearly a dozen times spanning 30 yrs & other than the antics & banter from guys like flo , Eddie & Frank I prefer the tone Dweezils band uses over the FZ tones,most of the time , as George Duke said I think they play the music better than we did .
Was fortunate enough to see Frank at the Tower Theatre in Philly, a few times...
I was fortunate enough to see FZ live three times; twice at the Uptown in Chicago '80 & '81 (including the panty quilt tour), and lastly at the Tower in Philly in '88 (on Valentines Day!). It was great every time, especially the last, Frank really played with the audience that evening.
All that said, Dweezil is the closest it gets and heir apparent. They do have the benefit of an immense catalog and all the recorded arrangements from which to draw, but to pull it all off so masterfully is the best tribute to FZ I can think of. I think he'd be pleased.
Of course the icing on all of this is the improvements in how well it's all captured and presented, even since the 80s. The fidelity of the mix and video are astounding by comparison. It's comforting to know Frank's musical legacy is in good hands.
Edison Girard ah ha ha ha ha the quilt lmfao ,I forgot about that ,idk if they are in the quilt or not but my wife tossed her panties on the stage at every VS concert we attended ,including the last 2 tours ,I've yet to see the quilt in person ,I think I read someplace before there was an internet that Frank never washed any of the panties ,I hope the artist did lol
Dweezle is wonderful and I'm glad he is bringing Frank's music to a wider audience. As someone who got to see Frank perform live several times between 1971 and 1980, I am delighted with what ZPZ is doing here--great musicians! They really BRING IT here.
Seen Dweez 4 times now in England. And every time he has blown my mind. As his father before him, he doesn't know how much these tunes have affected so many. This is other worldly to many dumb mortals. But for those that know what is involved, it is pure musical bliss. Glad I'm one of those that understand the skills involved.
Hi ich durfte 1975 das erste mal mit 15 Jahrin Berlin sehen und bin froh das sein Sohn so gut sein können uns schenkt. Danke Familie Zappa für den Ohren Schmaus
I am so happy all the hungry freaks enjoyed this....your comments give me smiles....we are the good people with taste :D
I've just seen them in Perth, Australia. Knew I would enjoy it but didn't know how deeply it would move me...it's been a while since I was in the Zappa universe. Pure Joy....thank you for this Mr. Dave :-)
Some of us have refined tastes too.
She was my steady date til she put on weight 😂
I take exception to this. I am a creep with no taste!
I for one have no taste, so that is why I am here, because Frank knew that. Tipper Gores have taste, and they also want to dictate to us tasteless folk who enjoy an occasional python boot, or a sears poncho
Encore un Excellente prestation du fils Zappa Dweezil ...
I will put up a torrent as I seem to be the only fuckin guy on the internet with this....I got feedback from the Zappas....super fine and now they have my copy.....stayed tuned and smile :)
What Ahmet and Diva?
Is this up as a Torrent someplace?
No cease a desist letter? Wow…
Any 6 people that can play that set are way more talented than we think... Yep. just watched it again, Wow what a great Show... FZ everyday

Who came here after the Rick beato interview with Dweezil? Finally had the time to really listen to Zappa.. fucking brilliant and dweezil is carrying the torch..!
This is Frank's afterlife; there's nothing else like this on earth, so THANK YOU. I was lucky to see the band around the time this show was recorded... one of the best nights of my life.
Sublime.
This is spot on.... ty Frankl would be proud..son
Omg, so perfect. I listened to Frank Zappa for 20 years, and then I stopped when he died. I never though anyone would ever be able to play his difficult music true. I thank you from the bottom of my soul and regret I never checked, sigh... I am close to 70 now, this was a pain releaf, hehe.
I might add I am crying, lol...
❤❤❤
Saw the show in Boston opening for Return To Forever IV... Dweezil and the band held their own. It was a great show featuring music from two of my favorite performers...
Wow those guys put out on one hell of a show - fantastico.
These guys have done an amazing job with Franks music, and Dweezle did his dad proud here. Can you tell I'm the biggest Frank Zappa fan on the planet ... lol. I have seen Frank many, many times. Good stuff !!!
The Dweez is a great musician, and superb guitarist. He sentenced himself to live in the shadow of his father's giant ouvre in order to do justice to his unique body of work. This takes immense bravery, and an even deeper humility. I bow before this man.
I've had the good fortune to see Frank and Dweezil play many times. Frank and his various bands were wonderful back in the day when he was considered eccentric by many pros and fans. Even so his music was timeless and perfect. Dweezil and his various bands play Frank's music, but with a cautionary twist. It's not note for note, and it shouldn't be. His son is interpreting Frank's music with flair and dignity. I've seen ZPZ 12 times all over the world with many different cast members. This is as good as it gets folks. Seeing them, just like Frank in small venues up close and personal is magic. If they ever come to your town..... See them at all costs! Carry on ZPZ!
Seconded !
Saw FZ 4 times at the Montreal Forum
Have seen ZPZ 6 times (Montreal 3, Ottawa 2, and Laval 1)
All shows blew me away forever !
FZ, DZ, and FZ's music are the best !
Now coming to Centerville Hot Rats ZPZ. End of February, 2020 in Austin, Texas.
Having been a lifelong fan of Frank Zappa's music ever since I bought Hot Rats, I love what his son has done and continues to do with this fantastic band. Dweezil's dad would have been proud of him. I must try and see them when they are in the UK next. Martin
the sound engineer did a really great job
Clean, strong, balanced, with the emphasis on the guitar, perfect.
HECK I DO APPRECIATE THIS MUSIC....HE WAS GREAT !!!!! I
The most talented band of the past few decades by far
Your dad was brilliant. Thank you for your contribution. You are brilliant like your father.
The whole band is awesome but I don't give a fuck what noone says Scheila Gonzalez is the greatest woman alive
You mean greatest person don't you?!
+Galactu5 really? she is a god. "don't worry about the fa....I'l take care of the fa...... "
tell us something new
Oh my goodness. What refreshing renditions of your dad's songs. Exquisitely put onto stage for our listening pleasure. Some legacy kept alive. Pure joy. Thank you with a truly capital T! ;-)
This is an excelent concert with a perfectly tight performance by the musicians, i love it :D
yeah, the level of skill and pure musicianship is extraordinary. Bless and love all True players-of-instruments !
Seen dad 12 times live. Every Halloween in NYC for years. Changed my life, for real. Thru away all my Beatles albums after I heard Peaches at age 13. It’s 53 years and it’s still delicious!! So wonderful to see Dweezil play as good as pops
What amazing experience!! I'm 52, & I still wondering why my parents took the wrong musical tastes🥶. I discovered Frank by myself & I got addicted seriously. He is my Mentor.
Excellent show, well performed. Good to see Dweezil is still doing the Zappa plays Zappa shows. Hope he keeps doing them for years to come. As of 2022, he is now one year older than his Dad when he passed. Scary thing. Frank left us far too soon.
Thanks for playlist i am french 👍 🎸🥁🎤🎹🎷🎺🎵🎶🎼 Guy platteau Marseille France 😎
This band is awesome, musical perfection. But I still miss the voices of Frank, Ike Willis,Ray White, Tommy Mars....
+Kolonel Briket Robert Martin....
Dweezil's band is great but it will never replace the Frank Zappa Band
Kermit Weeks
True that, but Carolina HE is well sung
Napoleon Murphy Brock
Dweezil is a legend in his own right. His own domain. Love hin for performing the music of my youth! Thanks a lot! Love it!❤❤❤
Wow I have had the privledge of seeing his father 78 times !! I have saw zappa does zappa at the university of Michigan and steve vie and Malmsteen and Joe SatchMo the best show I have ever seen
What a great concert. Frank, may he rest in piece, must be proud of his son. I have seen almost all Mothers of Invention concerts in Copenhagen since the late 60's and Dweezil lives up to handling that hard legacy. Sorry I missed his last show a month ago here, but I hope they will come back next year.
GREAT GREAT LINE UP of songs . Basically all of One Size Fits...
Last time in San Diego, saw Dweezil play the entire Apostrophe album. At the House of Blues it was a great concert. Many of the same players from this video which was cool. My favorite Sheila she plays keys, then grabs a saxophone and belts it out and then, sings, to boot!
My mom got me my first Zappa album in 1970 by chance. She worked for a magazine and they had a table full of promo albums so she just grabbed a handful having no idea what what I would like. I never heard of Zappa but the album cover of "Weasels Ripped My Flesh" stood out from the pile. "Toads Of The Short Forest" was the first song I enjoyed, it helped me ease into Zappa. Got to see him live in 1975 for one of his NYC legendary Halloween concerts. And I've been a lifelong fan ever since.

Got so wrapped up in the son's ability, I posted twice! Fantastic
Love you and you're family D
Carry on!
OMG, I am almost crying, 1 20 to 125 is mindlessly blissfully and a blessed relief, I have now a new favorite Zappa recording...
+Greg Chick Yay....was the whole point....glad you enjoyed as much as me :)
+Dave Hamilton greg@ramonasplumber.com is my e mail, send a file of this?
the grand wazoo'll do that to you!
Greg Chick I am too. Lump in the throat, goosebumps, the lot! 🤣🤪I haven’t had the pleasure to see Dweezil yet. Will not miss him next time🤞This band nailed it.
Like father like son ! It's great
Oh well I’m 72 now thanks to all of you pumping out the best content anywhere anytime it all started when I heard The Return of the son of monster magnet 🧲 on Freak Out !! My tiny transistor Radio flung me into the world master FZ 😁👍still listening and laughing and loving it !! Thanks Dweeze!!,
Dweezil Zappa is an outstanding musician and guitarist too much underrated. He does incredible things without any apparent effort. A real phenomenon in my opinion.
I agree with you ! Dweezil got the music and he can play and get a hot band together to share his Father's legacy to the world........To do this , is love for his Father..... Frank Zappa..!!!!!!! Dweezil thank you for the joy.......Arf ! Arf !!!! 😊
Ben Thomas. My top 5 all Time Frank's singers.
I imagine how much this guys practice and rehearse all those parts, its amazing the dedication they have, thank you for making zappa music live.
Dweezil has ALL his dads recordings...Frank purchased all the tapes back from the record companies before he died!
The Zappa name will always be synonymous with professional quality. Thank You for posting.
This is great music.i"m happy to hear Dweezil keeping his Dad"s music alive.
I saw Dweezil and his amazing gang two days ago in Stockholm/Sweden. If you like music you´re in the right place. Frank Zappa`s music lives!
I saw this in the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver BC Canada Nov 29 2015....the band loved the venue and I have seen Beefhreart, King Crimson and the Clash to name a few...world class hall and was just so fun :))))
yes, Don Van Vliet and band two shows at the Commodore, went to both. Gentle Giant, Zwalinul, Crimson, Dregs , ZZ Top - great place with under 800 people.
I've seen Dweezil four times and took his master guitar class. He is such a classy dude and he represents his father so well. Nonetheless we must recognize his personal skill as a guitarist. He is not derivative; he's unique, just like his father. You put Frank on any top xx list and you have to put Dweezil on it too.
I got to see Frank once. The "Best Band You Never Heard In Your Life" tour.
Yeah, I know. I was one of the few lucky Americans to see that show.
Saw Dweezil and Co. on the "Hot Rats" tour.
What an extraordinary night. Dweezil is the real deal.
I didn't know if anyone would be able to keep Frank's music alive, but the kid's a chip off the old block for sure.
WOW. This is amazing. I wished I'd seen Frank live. Hats off to you Dweezel Amazing job. kick ass musicians
Haven't seen Dweezil yet, but I saw Frank every year between 1972 and 1984. Great concerts. Any of these people could have played with Frank. He expected perfection, and this lineup provides it.
I was THERE!!! Damn im glad theres good footage of this performance
THey totally rock. Love ya Frank. thank goodness I grew up in the 60's & 70's. saw Frank Zappa in High school and the year after as well. Genius!! thank you for deep post man. wow. Dweezil Yawl Rock Man!!
this IS FAN-TASTIC....inspiring n amazing....Weow
Absolutely fucking astonishingly awesome.
Thanks, man.
Dweezil et-al are legendary.
Frank was pure genius
Spitze gespielt! Voller Respekt für FRANK von seinem Sohn. Ich liebe Euch, ZAPPA Comminity...
possibly the best you tube have ever watched. Frank would be very proud of his son.
Just discovered this vid, and I LOVE IT.. THANKS SO MUCH! Big patriot hugs from Austria to all the real Patriots all over the world. For a better world, with all kinds of culture. L&P
I love all of the performances on this recording, and especially San Ber'dino, which in my view is one of Frank Zappa's greatest compositions. Dweezil's playing, so well heard, is wonderful. And the keyboard player, whoever he is, is a master.
Why do the keyboard players never get any press (or the girls, for that matter!)
When about 13 years old - I heard Zappa for the first time. I was at my cousins house (mid-seventies) and she said "hey listen to this (before I actually started to play guitar) tell me what you think." I was blown away - not because of the genius / musicianship, but because of the "crazy" MIX of the genius and musicianship! I was completely "weirded" out by it. At first, I thought it was ugggg, then I thought it was non-sense, then I came the "you gotta be high" to get it, then came ..... BOOM - after listening to several albums I understood this to be from a completely different level far surpassing anything I had heard before (or since) because of the "mind" needed to put this all together. I still am in bewildered when I hear it today. As a player and musician now, I still have a hard time grasping the mental genius needed to do this. Playing it is one thing - COMPOSING it is another.
I am so glad this stayed up and got a thx ;) I researched and its public domain and great PR (Is an 8 gig file to begin with)....I only wanted to help and was in heaven in Vancouver at the Commodore Ballroom....much better venue than this and was amazing :D
Thanx for posting sir. You are awesome my friend.
+Dave Hamilton Great share; this is one killer show!
+Dave Hamilton I didn't understand anything before ..."I only wanted to help"... Thanks for the post!
what location was this show at? i was at the ogden show in denver
Pretty sure it's the HoB in Dallas, which Yahoo did a live stream.
Besser geht es nicht! Das ist megageil!
Mighty in awe, in many ways, of Dweezil Zappa and his crew. Proud, my god, of them too.
Jeez Louise, unbelievably great on so many levels. Mother, Mary, and Joseph.
Congrats Dweeze, all the musicians you chose are wonderful! The whole group is perfect!!!
Joe and I were there! It was an awesome evening. All told Joe and I saw Dweezil 12 times including one turn in the Hendrix experience. Of the 11 Zappa music shows, I think this one is my favorite. Altho every single one of them was amazing in it's own right.
I saw these guys live a few years back in Belgium in a small little venue. Great experience and a great tribute to Frank.
the last time I saw Zappa and the mothers was in Austin. Armadillo... then in 88 I saw him in at the Nassau coliseum. Different arrangements and the music was definitely Frank... this is a goodie.... thank you Dweezil
Thank you Zappas, all of you, my life has been better because of the feeling aroused, excited, and plouked...
That composition with all the different time signatures was something you just don't hear every day. Quite a tribute to his dad. I'm not into life-after-death, but if so Frank would have a smile for that one. Eseil
Fantastic. I saw the tour in Richmond, VA. What great video coverage and audio!
Saw frank many times I still have a great sense of the year I was turned on 72 I was a drummer and I had seen buddy rich after 3yrs ofl lessons and I had a good feel with my set I could play any group then saw the mothers Jimmy Carl Black wow I was hooked have played now for 48yrs they were so good it was like you don't need to go to another show you just saw perfection thanks dwez for the memories
I'm enjoying this immensely! You guys are the best.
waouh dweezil and your super band , MUSICIANS AND YOU , steve pfou !!!! i saw your father on 1978 in france ... cambrai and morer in france ... ; im french ... great great your" reprise " waoooooouuuhh ! genial thy i love too much
The way I see it now is that The black page was only a study for Sinister footwear. Kind of a son of the blackpage. Great stuff.
Also check out the Bohuslän Big Band on this title. Peace to all you Zappa fans out there!
Muffin man has to be a top 10 closing song
Awesome! Thank you Dweezil and gang. You all rock !!!
Saw ZPZ many times including this tour . Each time they were fantastic . Would love to see them come around again. MUSIC IS THE BEST !
fuck yeah
WOW im 73yrs young saw FZ several times this is GREAT 10/18/21
If anyone would like the original file contact me...its 8 gigs and an MKV @ 720p with major sound options. I just love the music so I had to find it and I did...its what I do.
+Dave Hamilton I was at this show. I would love to get a pristine copy of it.; Please let me know how to contact you.
I found out that Live Nation was going to stream it as I arrived at the venue and tried to text/email everyone I could to let them know, but no one got the message or saw the show. this version is fabulous--very good quality, sight and sound.
Thanks for the upload. The fact that you posted it the day after my birthday makes it a great gift as well.
+Dave Hamilton I would beg and bark arf arf for a copy of this, I am easy to find online greg chick, aka ramonasplumber. How on earth is this not going viral, this is as sick as a potion from thing fish!
+Dave Hamilton I'd love a copy of the original file. Let me know what you need from me to arrange that. Thanks!
+Dave Hamilton I'd be interested in a copy of the original file too. Thanks in advance!
+Dave Hamilton I would love a copy. Right after this concert aired the few cuts that were posted were promptly deleted. I really hope this one stays up here.
Frank is watching you guys and he's proud as fuck!
Saw Frank and the Mothers 3 times and this is really, really good stuff folks. Thank you Dweezil. I'm a senior now and you and your band are on my bucket list.
Saw Frank in 1973 here in Richmond Va. Sold out t he first show so we were able to get second row seats to the second show. Awesome. Thanks for sharing this
really an extraordinary performance! hats off to all the musicians and their commitment to practice so hard in order to be able to play FZs music! thanks a lot!
i particularly like that crazy "odd meter"-part in "The grand wazoo" around 1:20:00 ... ;-)
Thx Dweeze, we've loved your Dad and his wonderful composations, Well done.
Immense merci pour ce super concert !!!!
ZAPPA is the BEST !!!!
