Just got home from the Civic theatre gig. It was a great show and well worth the money for the ticket even if my wife doesn't agree.
The band lineup was 6 piece and they all rocked. Very skillful, very tight. I haven't followed the recent ZpZ news lately but some other folks have mentioned that not the full band is touring. Dweezil mentioned that Ray White quit the band just prior to embarkation for the Antipodes which meant that some of the more popular tunes had to be culled.
There were some additions to the set list and some nice funky jamming in between that incorporated a little self conscious audience participation.
Most of the crowd were tired old has beens like myself but there was an encouraging number of younger attendees who are obviously being influenced by the presence of Dweezil in Australia to seize upon the opportunity to get to know Frank's music a little better.
The set list inclusions covered a fair range of the Zappa catalog - some I hadn't heard of. I really must start buying FZ's back catalog!
I saw Frank in London in '84 and whereas the Dweezil gig lacked some of the theatrics and punch of the 'original' production, I still came away feeling inspired to listen to Frank once again.
Speaking of production, the bass was mixed with too much low end attenuation, with only the bottom notes really jumping out. This made 'Apostrophe' suffer a bit as the nice fuzz-bass solo was too quiet and only the chunky comping when Dweezil was soloing stood out.
Apart from that, there was little to fault the gig at all. The band were brilliant!
I got the impression that Dweezil seemed happy that Newcastle was included in the itinerary as he got a pretty encouraging reception from the crowd. In any case, I hope he comes back again - definitely an act I'd go and see again and again!!

How good was that!!

Sadly I missed seeing ZPZ on the previous tour so was really looking forward to last nights show with high expectations... I was not dissapointed. To me the production and sound quality was fantatsic and musicianship superb (der..). I never got the chance to see FZ but I'm sure that last nights show would have earned his stamp of approval.

The other thing that really impressed was how un-rockstar the band members were. Most of the band took the time to meet the fans, sign stuff & take photos, answer questions, discuss gear and other assorted guitar nerd stuff. It was the icing on a very tasty cake.

Thankyou ZPZ for making Newcastle a stop on your tour. I know there weren't many of us there but If you enjoyed it half as much as I, then I enjoyed twice as much as you did.

The show at the Civic Theatre last night was just magnificent.

The small but very appreciative crowd were treated to a truly wonderful display of musicianship.

I attended the show with my 20 year old daughter, who knows very little of FZ's music. She was totally amazed and delighted, and said to me at the intermission that she now knows where a lot of the bands she's into got their inspiration.

Having never had the opportunity to see FZ live, seeing Dweezil perform his fathers songs was something very special. I don't know if Dweezil has children, but I hope he does, so this music can be played to generations to come.

Thank you for a memorable occasion, and please include Newcasle on the next tour.

Wow great Zhow Dweezil and Band, these musicians are from another dimension!!! Would love to see you guys tomorrow, lets see how it goes.

Thanks to biggtibbs for the set list as I would not had a clue as to the songs played due to substance abuse. He He

Too Cool :)

Cheers
