saw them at the warner in d.c. last year. positively fantastic! i had the chance to see frank twice. by comparison, dweezil and company actually play entire songs, whereas fz tended to skip around, not really getting through songs completely... if you read dweezil's own words, it's interesting to hear him talking about having to relearn the guitar to pull this off, which is pretty amazing, considering he is and has been an accomplished guitarist for some time.
they have been doing this for at least a year and a half now, so i'm sure it's as good as it can be. no one can play zappa like zappa! savor every note! the set list was just sick, they played everything i could have hoped for, and more. the young musicians in the band are just great, and so enthusiastic, it's simply amazing to behold...maybe the best part of the whole thing, seeing the grins on the faces of the band as they work. fz's songs are not easy to play, and the band pulls it off with aplomb and zeal.
