Dweezil Zappa Plays Frank Zappa Tickets

This band has their act together. ZPZ is a quality show, every time. If you like FZ, this will work for you. And The Warfield is always the quintessential SF concert experience (I will say, however, that the interior of the theater could use some TLC. The ceiling paint is peeling, and the balcony seats are shot).

The band is so tight its unbelievable ! Saw the band two years ago same venue. Every member is an accomplished musican...the music was non stop for three hours . New lead singer is a great addition to the band .. I saw Frank and the Mothers in Portland back in the eighties when my daughter was just a baby . As a kid she grew up listening to all the great music of the 60's 70's, 80's . She wanted to see this show as soon as I mentioned it to her.... needless to say she left the concert blown away by Dweezil and his band . Thanks Dweezil and your fantastic band for keeping the legend of Frank alive . Its obvious that everyone of you hold Franks music deep in your soul and let it out at every show you do !!! DWEEZIL BRING THE BAND TO THE MERREL AUDITORIUM IN PORTLAND MAINE..GREAT VENUE AND ACOUSTICS.. YOUR DAD HAD ALOT OF FANS IN THE AREA

I never got a chance to see Frank, but Dweezil and his band have made a huge impression on me! Guest musicians or not, I will see this band everytime the come to the northeast! This was my 6th time seeing them and I hear a different set everytime, with a few exceptions that I could not get bored hearing performed live anyway. I have seen each incarnation of the band with different vocalist, twice and I have to say, I love Franks alumni but the new singer is the key to bridge the gap between old fans and new, he can sing every part with great charisma and humor yet adds a touch of angst that will appeal to my age group (30's) and younger!

Dweezil and his band respected and at times surpassed his dads performances...Frank (rip) would be proud....So awesome

Zappa Plays Zappa has arguably some of the finest musicians and performers out there. Their complete command of their instruments and the very difficult music they choose to play effects jaw dropping awe in this reviewer. The band's respect for each other and their affection for their fans stands out. I would have given the show 5 stars but for the sound mix. The vocals were mostly lost due to the instrumental amplification being too loud to the point of distortion beyond what was intended by the effects utilized by the individual players. Sure, I know most of the material by heart, but one shouldn't need to rely on memory to understand the lyrics.

Incredible musicians bringing Zappa's music to life. A loving tribute by his talented son. The venue, Club Casino, Hampton Beach, is crammed and uncomfortable.

Just great musicians playing great music. It doesn't get any better!!!!!!

This show was better than previous dweezil shows because of the new vocalist and he was also amazing on the harmonica and trumpet.

to play that music the way they did was wonderful,and to keep the legend of Frank through his son alive is great. Would have loved to been able to do that . Thanks Dweezel ,hope to see you again zeptone

One of the best shows I've seen! It's the first time I've seen Dweezil live and it was a great experience!

If you ever liked Frank go see this show...you will be pleasantly supprized!

The venue is perfect for this talented group. A living room performance with great sound balance and arrangements. I cannot wait until there next trip to town. I actually closed my eyes and visualized Frank on stage. Dweezil had big shoes to fill and I think he has gone beyond. Amazing Spectacular show, Great TIGHT band. Don't miss they guys when they come to town.

the band was tight and rocked the house! i preferred the more composed pieces, as some of dweezil's guitar solos seemed to be more preoccupied with shredding rather than structured, melodic improv. either way, this group was amazing, and I would highly recommend them.

This is the 4th time I've seen ZPZ in the last 3 years, and each concert is even better than before. Which is saying a lot, considering how exceptional ZPZ were when I first saw them. Their most recent show was their best one yet. The band has taken Frank's songs and truly made them their own. Dweezil may never be the iconic figure Frank was, but he's his match in all other respects, and an even greater guitarist. And the ZPZ band is as tight as any Frank toured with, and the addition of Ben on vocals, trumpet, harmonica and megaphone has to be seen live to be fully appreciated. A fantastic show in every respect!

You can tell that Dwezil has done his homework to bring these muscians together to play Frank's music. If you ever want to hear true Zappa music go see this awesome show. The true talent of these muscians is amazing. Such young muscians playing Zappa music is beyond belief. I am sure that Frank would be proud of his son and what he is doing to bring this music to the public after so many years of silence. Do yourself a favor and see this awesome show. I would actually see it again and there were people there last night that had seen the show numerous times.

I saw the ZPZ tour 2-years ago in Albany. With Napolean Murphy Brock. No ex-Frank players this time but the show rocked. All new material. The virtuosity of the muscians is amazing. They are tight as a gnats ass. I know Frank is very proud. He told me at the last St Alphonso's pancake Breakfast. Do not miss this tour if it comes to a neighborhood near you!

Have seen this band several times and have never been disappointed. If you truly appreciate music, you will be hooked. The musicians are all fabulous, a few changes since I saw them last.....hard to say which version was better...I think neither, both equally enjoyable although the new singer sounds much more like FZ than the previous guy, who had a great stage presence and voice as well. It is obvious that Dweezil really enjoys the music as you can see it in his facial expression. Hell of a band...one of the best ever, each time, never fail, and this is coming from someone who has gone to hundreds of shows since the early seventies. Don't miss it!

Awsome amounts of the best of Mr.Zappa Sr. Its e z to see that Franks music is going to stand the test of time. The venue is so personal with the band its a thrll from anywhere inside. While I'd seen the one show in L.A. it was fresh and refreshing to see it again. Dont miss this act if you dare.

Dwezil and Co. go to great lengths to reproduce Franks music to the note. If you have seen a FZ show you know that nothing REALLY compares, even his own progeny. But this would be the best one could hope for. This is a true labor of love. Having seen ZPZ twice, (last year and last night) I was glad that they had changed the setlist but i was surprised that they changed it COMPLETELY. This is not easy music to conquer. The addition of FZ alumni, Ben thomas on Vocals/Trumpet was a blast from the past, (I was secretly hoping they would play Whipping Post, a highlight of the Ben Thomas era FZ shows.) I feel odd being critical about ZPZ but here goes. ZPZ ABSOLUTELY has the music down, to the LETTER, that is not in question. What is sorely missing is that the SPIRIT of the FZ show is not really present. Dwezil himself (being the one filling FZ's shoes) has to embody and transmit the spirit of the FZ experience to the band which will produce one of many key elements that set FZ apart from EVERONE. conducting his bad, the props, the quirky/witty/risque but always intellegent dialogue, the way he incited his band to participate in this mayhem, the cotumes etc etc etc. I went to 3 FZ shows from 79 to 85 and it was as much about what the band was going to say/do/wear onstage as it was about the music. FZ was the mad scientist of music who created an exiting, controlled chaos onstage, a prototype that we will never see again and i am glad i got to see him before his untimely passing. Note to Dweezil: Let your hair down and really step into the role if this is what you are going to choose to do with your career for the future. Your audience will greatly appreciate it. You have the license, GO FOR IT, BE THE FRANK !!!

After seeing Zappa plays Zappa with Jeff Beck at the Nokia theater, I will diffinetly make sure to see them again when they come around. Dwezzle played his dad's music as though Frank was really there. What a tribute to his father. THEY ARE A VERY VERY TIGHT BAND.
