The show was great. Seeing it for the second time, I am even MORE impressed with Sheila than I was before. She covered her parts with sublime skill and filled the missing keyboard player's parts as well. She is core to the mission. The song list was entertaining and different that the first tour, which was a good thing. I am sure the tune list is ever more difficult as the band learns more and more songs. I am glad that Village, Echidna's and Wash made the cut, though. The band was tight and all players shined, but I want to send some props for the addition of Ben Thomas to the lineup. Visionary. At first glance, it would seem unlikely he could fill the space of Napoleon or Ike, but his vocals were killer, and his own (great) sense of humor brought some of the same kind of atmosphere present at Mothers concerts "back in the day". Joe and Jamie, thanks for the T&B "parts". Dweezil, we Zappa fans really appreciate what you're doing with ZPZ, and hope you continue this for years to come. Music is the best!
