I saw this Band without Vai about 10 years ago Ruth Eckerd Hall Clearwater Fla. of all the hundreds of concerts I have seen in 50 years it was the best sounding band I have ever heard. Perfectly mixed in that tough hall. Wife not a big fan of Zappa still loved it. Travers on the drums was just sick wow what a drummer. Tough songs to play with the crazy time sigs he never missed once. Everyone was incredible. Great night.
me and my son drove to the Orpheum Theater in Boston for this first tour of ZpZ. We arrived early and walked up by the entrance and the tour bus was parked and Steve Vai was looking at some photos with some fans. We waited. My son was too nervous to ask Steve for an autograph so I asked Steve if he would mind giving my son an autograph. Sure, he said. I introduced him to my son, they shook hands and he gave him an autograph. We thanked him and waited a while longer and we got inside and our seats were way up back and every step it got hotter and hotter. We got up to our seats my son says, I don't know if I can make it. This heat. I handed him a bottle of water and said, have a seat we are not going anywhere. The feedback from Vai during Zombie Woof shook the entire venue. It was so awesome. What made this special the Orpheum, Boston was the venue of the one and only FZ show I attended in Nov 1984. We went to the ZpZ 2nd tour in Boston at some amphitheater and the.3rd tour with Ray White at some club in Vermont. We were up front for that one. It was incredible. The next year saw them in New Hampshire. Great Shows
My one & only Frank Zappa show was also in November 1984, the 16th in Buffalo, saw this first ZPZ tour in 05 & have Dweezil 4 more times since. Frank Zappa was the only modern day musical genius
Man, he really sounds like Frank.....Terry Bozio was always my favorite Zappa drummer but all Zappa drummers were fantastic and totally complimented Frank's great guitar solos

Genius music and musicians, truly artists thats brings this "strange beautiful music" to us. More people should know this music and appreciate it. This was mind blowing, really inspirational!

A good friend of mine introduced me to Zappa 20 years ago beyond the radio cuts. Astonished, astounded, perplexed and musically fulfilled by this late man’s great work.
As the saying goes, music IS the best. Probably started as a form of communication in our distant ancestors days, but still true today. Frank Zappa,as A man and a true musician, was and will always be one of the greatest. Just not 18th century, although he listened to those talented artists. What a great talented artist who passed away too early in life.
I've always thought that Zappa's little list of increasing better things in life which culminates in "Music is the Best" is truly the DEFINITIVE statement of Zappa's entire musical project and life. Here it is once again: “Information is not knowledge. Knowledge is not wisdom. Wisdom is not truth. Truth is not beauty. Beauty is not love. Love is not music. Music is THE BEST.” -- Frank Zappa: Joe's Garage, Act III 1979. Is that not Frank Zappa in nunc?
The fact that this video only has 24k view after 5 years is quite telling for the 'taste' most people have in music. Why Frank's music isn't listened to more is beyond me. Dweezil is brilliant and can match Vai on every level. Fantastic.
I'm not surprised. Zappa's music is an acquired taste. You either dig it or you do not. He was first and foremost a Composer. He only did Rock to feed his family. He did not function in the business in the conventional manner that others would, so his music did not get promoted on a mass scale. If he did have an album or single make the charts it was totally by accident.
@@horowizard Haha! You’re right. I thought about adding that. I remember Vai (and dweezil i think) going through the notebook lessons vai wrote out for him. You’ve probably/maybe seen this but if not it’s easily found on RUclips I’m pretty sure. (( I’m up late watching/listening to this and, previously, the 1st vid.))
Like father like son he had some big shoes to fill I think you did a pretty good job nobody could do better great job Dweezil you've really become an accomplished guitar player I'm impressed great band great timing everyone give yourself a big hand don't turn that dial
Frank was a great composer. Dweezil executes the compositions to perfection. Incredible virtuosity from every member of the band. I saw them live twice (with NMB). Totally immersive.
As music should be, a pity more people don't appreciate what real music is or what frank zappa was getting out there!!! Everyone should look at his interviews as well GREAT MAN!!!!!!
I saw Dweezil does Zappa at the Culture Room in ft. Lauderdale. They say the the Black Page is the most difficult to learn and play of any piece ever written.
I was at both of these shows. They were beyond incredible!!! I couldn’t get my recording equipment into the Roseland. But I recorded the next night in Seattle. I will upload it soon….
Overlooking napoleons clams and the obvious differences in dweezils phrasing, this is a great show- even for a Zappa show. Frank always had an intense sun ra-like style of phrasing that was so natural yet unorthodox.
The Music Industry has Changed in My 26+yrs. within it.. This is One of my Loves from having grown up with Frank's Music as a Teen.. Thanks Deweezle I hope I Spelled that Right.. "BONES" \m/ O_ x \m/
As someone else said on the part 1 of this DVD, the date of this show was 2006, the first year Dweezil Zappa began Zappa plays Zappa. Whoever posted this, thank you, but you should really edit the title.
Wonderful Vai/Zappa duet on Dental Floss! It is obvious that Dweezil is a respected peer here - his guitar playing took a quantum leap by studying his dad's playing.
This is just a great concert! The 'Black Page' can only be played by three drummers in the world, Terry is one the other two are ex 'Mothers'.. Chad and Vinnie. They would have had to bring one of them to do that song, Terry (Bozzio) really respected Frank and the 'Black Page was written for TB also.
+Ziggy “Frappanised” Zappada Hey bro. I was just watching a Dweez video with Vinnie and Tai Wilkenfeld. Not sure if you've heard of her, but she's a kid who played with Jeff Beck first, I think. Amazing chops. I watched the first part of this but didn't notice Part 2 here. I think it's awesome that Dweezil has dedicated a part of his life to his dad's music. I'd do the same thing, myself. Who wouldn't? Now with live and archieved Zappa (still a lot in that vault), it makes a Zappa fan a happy camper. Oh, btw, on video 245 of my over 300. I'm on week ten. lol Later mf-er!
Frankincensed Hi there bro!! Yeah, she is a great Bass and guitar player,as well as vocals, and played with most of the great muso's that matter... I mean you have to be good to play with Beckola... she is easy on the eye too! lol.. If I was Dweez, and had a father like Frank, hell yeah I'd dedicate part of my life to his father's music! Oh yeah, I could imagine there would be so much more in the vault.. ( thank you Frank! ) that's going through them bro ( 245 in ten weeks ) magnificent effort! You to mf-er.. take care and a merry Christmas.
I saw this same band a few days later at the Warfield Theater in S.F. Last show of the first tour. Gail, Diva, the whole family was outside at the bus talking to us. Highlight and secret tear jerker was the opening where they had Frank on the big screen playing and the band playing along with him. It's been a long time but I think it was Black Napkins. I can guarantee you there wasn't a dry eye in the house. For those remarks picking on Terry Bozzio...get a fucking life!
@@KyleDavisMusic But Dweezil HAS performed that beautiful song in concert. There is even a -- not to be missed! -- video of it here on RUclips. Dweezil is so filled with emotion at the start that he begins to weep at the beginning but then catches himself and plays the song through. Nerves of steel!!
I like Vai and he's a great guitar player, but tough to listen just to a guitar screaming for hours. The only guitarist I've been able to listen to a lot is Beck. He's not just a speed noodler, but a virtuoso composer always serving the song not just the guitar solo. And diversity is what I love aboit Frank. If you look up the word variety you'll find a picture of Frank.
very true a lot of people feel this way about vai I love him but I can see why people don't, he really is a guitar player's guitar player, but satch is a little different it's quite weird satch seems to reach other's right from kids to grandma's ( seen this at his gig's lol ) but back to vai I think their are a few tracks you can get non guitarists to listen to but I totally agree he can be hard to take on, but always love that frank gave him a shot.
After listening to Steve hillage and Manuel Göttsching, one cant help but feel like vais music is a bit hollow. He certainly is a great musician, just that his music doesn’t have the inherently intriguing je ne sais quoi of some of the more minimalist shredders.
i DO NOT like Terry BOZO( on purpose) theres just too much arrogance and ego-personality there, to me dude you're not all that and a box sa christmas presents. the other drummer with Dweezil has a certain 'professional humility' to him, I Much prefer his drumming,energy and spirit over Bozzio's any day. Love dweezil's playing his daddy music. I saw His Father,Frank Zappa twice,was so fortunate to see him. both shows were in maryland in the mid 70's,unbelievable musicianship!! Understatement.
@@kurtkish5335 bozzio was essential during the Zappa in New York, Baby Snakes, Sheikh Yerbouti era. Punky's Whips, Broken Hearts are for Assholes, Titties & Beer. Not to mention his dialogue on Thing Fish.

saw them in chicago every time they came amazing

Frank was a mad scientist. Dweezil is a brain surgeon.

Dweezil is a great, great player. Great. Can he match Steve Vai “on every level”? I think even Dweezil would say: “nah”.

Thanks to Miss Zappa that she has born the Dweezil 😉👍👍, you all go on!
The flute on "Torture Never Stops" is a very nice touch. Adds to the eerie sense of the song.
Sweet Lord, how beautiful is Vai's shredding on Zomby Woof? Could listen to it all day.
The show I went to at the Orpheum Theater in Boston you could feel it vibrating through the entire place.
Vert vert good i saw on arte TV long tome ago. Thanks
Fz
Quite the testament to FZ seeing all 3 guitar players looking at their fretboards. I mean we're talking Steve Vai and Dweezil Zappa
I dont know what else to say other than this is one of my all time fave live shows. So glad it's here for the world to enjoy. Amazing. Thanks!

What a credit 2 his auld man awesome gig , cheers
I first heard Echidna's Arf of You back in 74. What a concert that was.
How can this be so perfect ?!!!
I was at both of these shows. They were beyond incredible!!! I couldn’t get my recording equipment into the Roseland. But I recorded the next night in Seattle. I will upload it soon….
Great music!!
Overlooking napoleons clams and the obvious differences in dweezils phrasing, this is a great show- even for a Zappa show. Frank always had an intense sun ra-like style of phrasing that was so natural yet unorthodox.
I saw this show in '97, with my own eyes & ears, and still don't believe what I witnessed.
I also don't believe it because this wasn't 1997. This show took place in 2007.
Bozzio's kit has almost everything that will make noise when hit ... except perhaps for a land mine.

Love the version of Regyptian Strut. :-)
Zaaaaappppppaaaaa❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is the most powerful drug i ever took
Is it just me who think that the part at 11:52 is just heaven?
Saw this one at the Pageant in St. Louis. As good as it gets
I saw it there as well. Simply awesome lineup for ZPZ.
Date appears to be off. So many people said this, but I had to pile on. The correct date matters a lot.
A nice peice t 1.07 when Steve and Dweez swap licks, then again, at 109 it's mad!
thanks for sharing, but this show is from 2006 - the band started in 2005!

saw him in Brussels

Love listening to this and part 1. But could someone sync the sound and video? Part 1 seems synced up nicely.
Sons of ruth
It's Not from 97. Maybe 2007
seen this show
This is a BAND not from this planet.....
Title is in error. This concert happened in 2007.
ZPZ was formed in 2005.
😎😎😎😎😎😎
Someone please correct the date on this video., twas more like 2006 or 7 . Thank you in advance.
Terry mfing Bozzio, ladies and gentlemen.
Zappa jr, isn't he great ?!
2006 show I think
Exctasy!
😎😎😎😎😎😎🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
1997!!??? 🤔🤔
😀😎🤔
I didn't think ZPZ started until the early/mid 00s. Is this really 1997?
Frank was better by himself , but thats just that
Lousey
Please change the title to a correct one!
I want to know what that one song is that is too emotional for Dweezil to get to.
