Just Damn! I'm 64 and have listened to Frank and the band since I was 26 or so. You do the math. His son and this band are so close. This brings me to tears. This band is so professional and tight.
Hi, I am also 64 brother! In 1974 at the age of 14 I heard the first 4 LP's by Zappa for the first time and knew immediately that this was my music! Today I have all his works. But the priority for me is no longer the music, but the lyrics, especially the hidden political statements. Love from Germany
total agreement on her skills as a musician. i dont know how many people caught it but during her extened solo she had a lock of her hair in her mouth during part of her solo . that is probably something that reed players have happen to them or its an inner joke. she keep up her playing probably thinking shit but she went right thru it. huge props for that level of musicianship .
She is awesome, she played on the Zappa plays Zappa tours for a long time. Think she stopped touring with Dweezil in the early 2020's - that's a shame.

So sad to hear Dweezil talking about how much it means to the family. I'd imagine he never dreamt they'd end up in a situation where siblings only communicate through lawyers and open letters. The dedication and work he's put into ZPZ and all his younger brother and sister can think about is the money.
The title is wrong, ZPZ was not together in 1997, they started out in 2006. In the late 90's Napoleon was playing/singing with another Zappa tribute band called "Project Object" (which are also absolutely awesome, by the way, and still together and feature Ike Willis and Ray White and other Zappa alumni, like Ed Mann, play with them on and off.) I saw Nappy with them several times. This is actually DVD one of the double DVD set and just an amazing concert ! .. and like most of Frank's real bands used to be, one of the tightest bands I've ever heard in my life; and even with more merit considering some of this music is so ridiculously difficult, doesn't get any harder than this folks.. Before he started the Zappa plays Zappa band project Dweezil's style was so completely different from his father's, just totally at the other end of the spectrum. Yet he did such an amazing job of learning and playing Frank's music and his band sounds as killer as the real Mothers did. You can tell this was a true labor of love and he put everything he had, mentally and technically, into it. You can tell he is so proud of his name and set out to carry the legacy of his dad in a way that Frank would have approved of (and we know how hard he was to please ... LOL ..) ... we no longer have your dad gracing the world stages and Rock music lost its greatest asset when we lost him, but for now Dweez, You da man !!!! :):)
Late on this reply, but I like that you noted just how different Dweezil played before ZPZ. I saw ZPZ open for Return to Forever some years ago, and during the show he credited Frank Gambale (who was RTF's guitarist that year) for helping him learn the techniques to mimic his father's playing.
@@Pastalet Well that's the thing, before the first ZPZ show, or even rehearsals; Dweezil basically locked himself in a room for a year, to essentially re-learn how to play guitar. Honestly, as great a guitarist as Frank was.... I think Dweezil is better. His tone is just a little bit clearer, and let's face it, Frank was a better composer than he was musician (again, not that he was in any way bad; he was just that insanely good at writing music, far better than he was at playing it)
About five years ago I was invited to the grand opening of a huge rehearsal complex near the Burbank Airport--various buildings of drums, guitars, etc., and rehearsal stages. I wandered around and heard this band, so I stopped to listen. It was Zappa Plays Zappa and I was fucking blown away. Never heard of them, and they were mind-crushing. This music is like a punch in the nose of all pop cliches, PLUS social commentary, PLUS expert players with amazing chops. UNIQUE.
32:00 - a kid speaks to us who luvvved his dad no end - and still does! What a moving moment! I guess we all miss Frank, but life goes on and we are lucky he once got himself a son who can now keep on playing his great music in live performances. Certainly, it cannot be a perfect copy of FZ-music but I figure ZPZ is much more than a mere cover band! Thanks for uploading this fine, fine concert!
I saw him more than 30 times, I lived in NY and would see every show in Jersey, Manhattan, or LI. Every show what different. Saw Dweezil at the Beacon theater in NY, drove from Georgia to NY for that. Love them both
*@Ahmad Soob.* Indeed I was listening to France Inter (French National Radio) where they called FZ _Our contemporary Mozart_ The host was absolutely right.
Quem diria, um brasileiro aqui vivendo na Flórida as 7:30pm pintando um escritório até meia noite ouvindo esse ao vivo que eu amo. Uma das poucas coisas que me da energia.
Frank Zappa did exactly the same thing. his band, The Mothers of Invention, were an amazing cross section of talent, they all showed off. it was magical.
I think Dweezil said it took 2 years to learn the compositions. On a video about his rig rundown, he said one of the great difficulties was finding a way to recreate the sound of some of the vintage equipment that is no longer made.
I've been listening to Frank all afternoon on RUclips and this came up. Seriously, it's not one step down from Frank's originals live performances. Dweezil inherited his dad's band leader skills. Maybe one day he'll step out and write.
I saw Dweezil 2 weeks ago on 8/25/24 in Medford, MA. Sat front row, right in front of Dweezil! Met him during soundcheck! Great, down to earth guy! He answered every one of my questions, signed an autograph & took a picture with me! Then played one of the best shows i've ever seen him play & i've seen him 9 times since 2008! Thank you Dweezil for keeping Frank's music alive! Can't wait to do it again next time!

Saw ZPZ in 2011 when they opened for "Return to Forever", they were "tight" and each member highly talented! I didn't think much of them when I got the tickets, concerned with the main group RTF, but when they played I was amazed at how great they actually were! To me Gonzalez was the standout in the band. Much talent in ZPZ!
THAT was one of the best shows I've seen in quite some time..the ending with the one and only Terry Bozio was absolutely mind boggling!!! Punky's Whips was the PERFECT ending to an absolute masterpiece!!! Keep the fire alive Dweezil!!! Frank is beaming with pride up above!!!
With Billy Hulting no longer in the group, I wonder if Dweezil has considered Tricia Williams for the percussion role? She was the percussionist with Mike Keneally around 1999-2000 for his album "Dancing", and at the time, I felt she could be the second coming of Ruth Underwood.
The DVD was shooted 2008. They started 2006. Have seen them two times live in Finland. Always f*cking amazing. So sad that I never had the chance to see Frank live 😭
NAPPY WAS A GOD ! NAPOLEON MURPHY BROCK WAS A GOD !!!! I saw DWEEZ doing the CHOICE CUTS tour a few months ago , IN LA ...It was AMAZING ! Thanks DWEEZ , You are awesome ....I MISS ALL THOSE FRANK SHOWS !!!
So... damn.... good! I can honestly say the music of Frank Zappa has pulled me out of the some of the deepest lows. Dweezil rocks it seriously f****** hard. Way to keep a legacy alive!
@@paulthoresen8241 It took about 90 minutes to set up & mic up both Terry & Joe's kits. During the load-out, the drum tech, had me disassemble Joe's kit & pack it up entirely myself. Which is unusual, he must've trusted me. Bcuz, him & me, frantically working together, took 45 min to take apart & pack up Terry's monstrosity of a kit. Personally, there is sooo much of his kit he nvr, ever hits, nor uses. It's just unnecessary, it's a waste. So, it's his ego shinning through. I hv set up Neil Peart's kit 11 times since 1987, with both drum tech's Larry Allen, & Lorne Wheaton. Once, Lorne was in hospital, so "I" set it up w/pyro tech & rigger, Stg Mgr George. Neil used all of it. I've also wrkd w/Joe Paul Slaby setting up Danny Carey many times; he uses everything.
this is a spectacular and awesome performance. . so glad I found this, and it should have millions of hits. the music of Zappa is eclectic and all-encompassing, and we are blessed to behold it
I got lucky enough to see Frank play in Minneapolis during the Them Or Us Tour and going to this show many years after Frank's passing brought back many fond memories of that kick ass show.
and for this to be at the Paramount Theater ,my fav and i saw Frank there in 75 ...been a fan since 68 ,i was 10.thx bro for all the zappa vinyl you brought home ,miss u too
I'm 23 and Dweezil is right. Frank's music DID skip a few generations. I'm doing my part to fill in the gaps. And everyone is left just as astonished as I was.
been lucky enough to have seen Frank live eight times and have 60+ of his albums. he never ceases to inspire me. needless to say, my house is not complete without a stereo in every room and playing Frank Zappa.
Napoleon is great. BUT, and not to be TOO demanding, check out 1:26:52 - 1:31:13 NOW!!! ................... Am I right? It’s in her and it’s gotta come out!
unfortunately there is no King Kong here, i'm still looking for the version they was playing, at least in Paris France where I seen them, its was pretty unique (reaggaeish intro) and i can't find the same version on YT
20 people are Beyonce fans And for all the comments about the date, I think the publisher put 1997 so the video doesn't get removed by RUclips, but who cares... Now I get to listen to this show at work whenever I want

No it was Joes Garage when I got into Frank at the same time a guitar techer told me he was amazedd by a show in NYC . I was listening to Black Sabbath and Rush and then Joes garage blew my miind.
One of the things Dweezil talked about in interviews at the time this iteration of the band (minus Murphy, Bozzio, and Vai,) was how valuable these musicians were, and how lucky he was to have found them. He especially mentioned Billy Hulting's incredible ability to nail the arpeggios near, and at the end of, Inca Roads. There are more a few minutes before, but the exact place Dweezil was talking about is @ 1:23:58 Heh, plus, one of the most entertaining things about this band at that time, besides Napoleon's incredible, physical performance and the amazing musicianship of the whole band, of course, is Aaron "Skunk" Arntz's hairdo! 😂 It saddened me when I read that he had left the band in the middle of their Japanese tour after receiving an offer for a record deal.
you guys ever think: maybe this guy titled this with 1997 so his video wouldn't get flagged, the quality is noticeably better, so it does make sense-idk lol just glad it's still up.
Just Damn! I'm 64 and have listened to Frank and the band since I was 26 or so. You do the math. His son and this band are so close. This brings me to tears. This band is so professional and tight.
Yeah! Only one mistake!
Born in 1959 in Argentina and the same life dear Brian! And so happy to have been Zapatizzed in the seventies as someone above says
Hi, I am also 64 brother! In 1974 at the age of 14 I heard the first 4 LP's by Zappa for the first time and knew immediately that this was my music! Today I have all his works.

no, it was in 2006., the year 1997 is totally wrong.
Exactly. And it’s easy to see this isn’t as old as ‘97.
Totally.

Dweizjl did a great job of reproducing his ddxs music . Which I I l I stened to back 1978.
I freakin love this version of Inca Roads !
Inca Roads, man. I don't care if it's 1997 or 2006, that's a top effort there from Dweezil. Great band.
so good to hear zappa again!!
this dwezzil plays as good as his dad.
and those imortal brain storm compositions....
This can‘t be 1997 - Bogner Amps didn‘t exist at that time.
Joe Travers is an absolutely great drummer !!
shame he's not in the band anymore.. now he's working for Ahmed at the archive.
I saw him more than 30 times, I lived in NY and would see every show in Jersey, Manhattan, or LI. Every show what different. Saw Dweezil at the Beacon theater in NY, drove from Georgia to NY for that. Love them both
He's so great. I really wish i had a chance to see them while he was still in the band.
As good as any of FZs , reminds me of a Humphrys Wakerman mix
Excellently tuned kit as well. Those DWs are killer.
2024 and the music of FZ is still relevant and NEEDED. Thanks Frank for your ART.
Im here in 2020, wondering where the music industry went wrong. Why can't artists like this, be bigger and more appreciated.
Incredible...Zappa you were a tremendous musician.Thanks to your son Dweezil, to still show to the world that FZ was a genius like AMADEUS..

Seriously fuck the Zappa lawyers for banning Dweezil. I wish this was on Spotify
Wondering if the Dweeze and Vai ever did Stevie's Spanking...That would really be 💯
I can't even imagine how many hours of rehearsal it took to get all these musicians locked in.
i know frank was a perfectionist with rehearsals and if you werent up to his standards he would show you the door. zappa jr would be much the same.
I think reading somewhere it took 3 months.
I think Dweezil said it took 2 years to learn the compositions. On a video about his rig rundown, he said one of the great difficulties was finding a way to recreate the sound of some of the vintage equipment that is no longer made.
Zappa used to rehearse his band ten hours a day for a few months before going on tour.
dweezil's Inca Roads guitar solo- stellar shit
Napoleon Murphy Brock is so perfect for this band. Sorry he couldn't make it to Toronto on the first tour!
Incorrect date this concert was filmed in 2006 and released in 2008. 1997 was almost 10 years before the band's inception... Just sayin

Simply amazing. The depth of Frank's composition and the amazing talent here are awe inspiring. Thanks Frank. Great job band. 🤙
Incarnation but yeah.
inca roads is for me the most beautiful complex intelligent number ever composed !!
Grande concerto, sem duvida, tal pai tal filho.
Brasileiro?
Out of sheer respect for frank, play it as cleanly as possible. Looking to show the respect to Frank as much as possible. Well done son ;-)
Geniuses Father, Son,and all band members past present and future pure gold
i was at this show in 2007 providence RI ppac it was incredable,i was able to see Frank for the last time in Providence same place
Providence 10/25/2006
this concert is from 2006 or 2007....NOT 1997...Zappa plays Zappa DID NOT EXIST in 1997.
been lucky enough to have seen Frank live eight times and have 60+ of his albums. he never ceases to inspire me. needless to say, my house is not complete without a stereo in every room and playing Frank Zappa.
Rien à dire sans voix ou plutôt sans doigts pour commentaires juste du pur génie tel père tel fils enfin presque Guy platteau Marseille
Napoleon is great. BUT, and not to be TOO demanding, check out 1:26:52 - 1:31:13 NOW!!! ................... Am I right? It’s in her and it’s gotta come out!
This wasn't 1997. Maybe 2007. Dweezil mentions Beyonce somewhere around the 30 minute mark, and she wasn't a thing in '97
KICKASS version of Call any Vegetable!!! Dweezil has grown into a real Mother of a player,. Damn!😅
I can’t even begin to think how anyone can play this material LIVE! Incredible musicians.
I was "Zappatized" in 1972. I got to see him on his last tour and it was well worth it. All I can say. 😎👍🎶
Dweezil's solo on Inca Roads is what I believe to be the greatest guitar solo, EVER.
I wholeheartedly agree!!!
Looking forward to August. Dweezil's coming to Cleveland!
unfortunately there is no King Kong here, i'm still looking for the version they was playing, at least in Paris France where I seen them, its was pretty unique (reaggaeish intro) and i can't find the same version on YT
Oh, just awesome. Thank you. Thank you so much for posting this. Love from the UK
20 people are Beyonce fans
And for all the comments about the date, I think the publisher put 1997 so the video doesn't get removed by RUclips, but who cares... Now I get to listen to this show at work whenever I want
Sheila is a badd a** Just like Ruth was during Frank's days. The counting in this is ridiculous by counting I mean the math.
why does this say 1997? This is from 2007.
so correcting it would be too difficult for you, huh?
What a prick.
Steps to follow: 1. Install ClipGrab 2. DL the video 3. Change the title 4. Watch offline 5.Be Happy
Who is the other guitars playing the Les Paul???? Incredible
Thank you Minotauro Di Chieti for taking the time to break the time down for us.
Bravo!

Bozzio fucked up the sound of his toms.He should bring back the kit he had with Zappa.
No it was Joes Garage when I got into Frank at the same time a guitar techer told me he was amazedd by a show in NYC . I was listening to Black Sabbath and Rush and then Joes garage blew my miind.
I SAW Project object with Ike Willis in Bad doberAn zappanale great

DVD is from 2008 not 1997 :)
Love 'Eat That Question' and the sax solo :-D
One of the things Dweezil talked about in interviews at the time this iteration of the band (minus Murphy, Bozzio, and Vai,) was how valuable these musicians were, and how lucky he was to have found them. He especially mentioned Billy Hulting's incredible ability to nail the arpeggios near, and at the end of, Inca Roads. There are more a few minutes before, but the exact place Dweezil was talking about is @ 1:23:58 Heh, plus, one of the most entertaining things about this band at that time, besides Napoleon's incredible, physical performance and the amazing musicianship of the whole band, of course, is Aaron "Skunk" Arntz's hairdo! 😂 It saddened me when I read that he had left the band in the middle of their Japanese tour after receiving an offer for a record deal.
Cosmic Debris is just pure fun to listen to and see.
According to the thumbs down there are 21 people who do not believe it is fucking great to be alive. Oh well.

OK - at 57:57 - am I counting this right, is it really in 19/8? Help please.
Rodriguez Kimberly Walker Thomas Walker Amy
you guys ever think: maybe this guy titled this with 1997 so his video wouldn't get flagged, the quality is noticeably better, so it does make sense-idk lol just glad it's still up.
