Did you attend the ZPZ show at De Oosterpoort in Groningen?

Dweezil and the band love reading your reviews.

Please do not post in this thread if you did not attend the show.

That was just an amazing show tonight at De Oosterpoort, thank you all for giving me this awesome night, solid, tight and even some humor.

Ben is absolutely a great pick, a little nervous but his voice is great......
but the whole group was terrific and together.

Thanks again DZ,
Rob.

PS, I did not get any download code, or was that just for the US and not for Europe, anyway loved the show...

The band is playing with high energy, some songs very much up tempo, but so smooth. They make it look so easy. They just love to play this music. Every bandmember takes one or more solo’s and they are very inspired and inspiring. Maybe Dweezil is a bit to hard on himself sometimes, he wants to get every sound and every note just right and often he does, which makes him one of the best guitarplayers ever, with a unique style.

There was a great atmosphere in the Oosterpoort. The crowd knew when to scream and shout and when to let the music speak for itself. This was my fourth ZPZ experience. The first one was the première in Amsterdam, May 15 2006. So exciting, I didn’t know what to expect then, a once in a lifetime event. This last one in Groningen was the nicest, almost a different band, playing so naturally. And Ben Thomas... he’s about as evil as a boogie man can be!

HERKENT U DEZE MELODIE?

She messed up my mind
I’m crying all of the time... Scheila Gonzalez!

The Mystery Man, Joe Travers
There is nothing that this guy wont do.

He’s playin’ the ol’ vibraphone, Billy Hulting
Playin’ all day an’ all nite an’ all afternoon...

Give me..... your dirty groove!
I like the way Pete Griffin makes his funky moves.

But that was only a bunch of ingenious notes he played
Just a little extra somethin’ to keep us going from day to day
That’s Jamie Kime.

Dweezil, keep on playin’ yer guitar and don’t ever shut up!
