Dweezil Zappa & The Zappa Family Trust present the music of Frank Zappa.
If you enjoy the music of Frank Zappa this is def worth checking out.
Washington DC - Warner Theater on Nov 7
New York City - Beacon Theatre on Oct 31
Zappa Plays Zappa is the ultimate chance to relive the music of the late Frank Zappa, 13 years after his passing.
Last year, Zappa's son Dweezil lead the first official presentation of Frank Zappa's music with a band that included some of his father's most esteemed band mates. Just the chance to hear Zappa's music performed again live was remarkable in itself. Then to hear it played so meticulously was miraculous. "What we're preparing to do for this tour is perhaps even more complex than what we did on the first tour," says Dweezil. "Last year we learned about 40 songs from a very popular period of Frank's career and this year we will be learning about 30 more new ones that are somewhat more obscure. We're even tackling some of Frank's classical works. With this larger body of work to choose from it will allow us to delve into some different eras of Frank's music and periodically focus a little more on some rarely played songs."
Special video footage will be projected within the show on to a large screen and accompanied musically by the band live. Hence, concert goers who never had the opportunity to see Frank Zappa live on stage in person will - through the magic of technology - finally get their chance.
