Zappa Plays Zappa (2008)

I'm Envious

I purchased the two DVDs from the Zappa site and paid more than Amazon's price for this whole set. I like the DVDs a lot but would like an easy way to play the music in my car or on my iPod.

So this is a really good deal.

Dweezil's arrangements are very similar to Frank's but, somehow, seem more easily absorbed. Cleaner. I don't know how to explain it in musical terms but I remember, when I saw them in Albuquerque in August, 2007, that the structure of Zombie Woof was crystal clear and beautifully complex at the same time. Then that happened with most of the other songs they played.

If this seems like too much of an investment, Amazon also has good prices on the DVDs alone and a single CD selection

Now if they'd just get Zappa/Buffalo... November 29, 2008

fantastic played Zappa-music

If you think this a tributeband , think again.I saw Zappa-junior live several times : it is a fantastic musical experience.Shure , there is nobody who can replace Frank , but that is not the point here.This is a fantastic band playing exceptional music from 'the master'.The picture is very good , and the sound too.Get it!

This package far exceeded my expectations. These musicians are great. I have been listening to Frank's music since the late 60s', and this is by far the best performance of his material since his death. Highly reccomended! Dweezil has done a wonderful job of honoring his father. September 30, 2008

A must for any Zappa fan!

As a very dedicated Zappa fan the first tour of ZPZ by Dweezil captured on DVD is just amazing, the 3 CD set of music is equally rewarding. If you can't feel the emotion and passion of this box set then you need help. Dweezil's mission is to bring his fathers music to the generations, this set serves him well in doing just that. Buy this set, share it with your friends and see them live, you will not be sorry! August 24, 2008
