Tommy Sawyer Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 They are coming to Cincinnati (actually Covington) this December and I sorta want to go. How are they? Worth $30? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enemy Within 77 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Yes, worth the $30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Your_Lion Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Absolutely Any idea which classic Zappa members (if any) are still doing it? I know originally it was (the fantastic) Napoleon Murphy Brock with occasional guest spots from Terry Bozzio and Steve Vai (as per the DVD) While a later tour had (the world famous) Ray White. It would be great to see some other old members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todem Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Sa them on the progressive nation tour a few years back with DT. They were sick. Well worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Owl Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I saw them on the prognation tour as well...and to be honest... they kind of overshadowed Dream Theater. I have been looking for a chance to see them again since... it sucks that they are coming nowhere Austin on this tour...and were only touring as a supporting act previously. I dont think there are any regular members in Dweezil's band that there were in Frank's...but Dweezil certaintly inherited the ability to select world class musicians to play with, a knack that Frank was so good with....so 30 bucks is a steal.

ColdFireYYZ Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I've heard nothing but good things about them. They've come to my area a couple of times recently but I wasn't able to make it to any shows. I'd go in a heartbeat if tickets were only $30.

Queslington Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 They came to the Cleveland area over the summer, but that was about 10 days before I got into Frank's music. Now I really like him and wish I'd gone. I hope ZPZ comes back around in 2013. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystic Slipperman Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Yes, absolutely, without question. GO! And I'm not just saying that because Scheila is a good friend of mine. They really are that great!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Sawyer Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 (edited) All right, thanks for the feedback... maybe I'll show this thread to my mom to try and convince her to let me go.

Of all the highly talented people in the band, Scheila Gonzalez was by far the one impressed me the most. Saxophone, keyboards, flute and vocals. And all brilliantly. Her sax solo in Eat that Question blows my mind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her sax solo in Eat that Question blows my mind! Yes, it's true! Scheila and I go way back to music school in college. We occasionally get to gig together, which is fantastic. She's an amazing musician and a great person. Hell, I nearly auditioned for ZPZ myself! Never say never, I always say... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
