Default Re: Zappa Plays Zappa - Anaheim

I saw this show last month and it's probably one of the top 5 concerts I've ever seen. I'm a huge FZ fan, so I was really looking forward to this concert and it totally delivered. The band was one of the tightest I've ever heard, and I was really impressed by their ability to handle the more complicated numbers (Son of Suzy Creamcheese for example).

Dweezil opened the show with My Guitar Want to Kill your Mama and, while technically impressive, his vocals are just horrible. So I was thrilled when Ray White came out for vocals for the rest of the show.

Highlights were the Illinois Enema Bandit (I heard he's on the loooooooooose) and Carolina Hardcore Ecstasy. They also did a jam that featured each member of the band that was nothing short of mind-blowing.

I wasn't overly impressed with Ray White's guitar chops, but that isn't exactly his forte. His voice, on the other hand, sounds exactly like it did 30 years ago. The dude can sing.

I highly recommend anyone who can checks out this show. You won't regret it.
