Did you attend the ZPZ show with Dream Theater at The Tabernacle in Atlanta?

Dweezil and the band love reading your reviews.

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

Great show last night! I particularly enjoyed Sun Valley, Black Page #2 and Bamboozled by Love. Ben Thomas and Scheila Gonzalez sound fantastic singing together. Also, excellent marimba solo by Billy Hulting toward the end of the show.

I've never seen Zappa in my life, and I never really listened to them until last night, but DAMN they killed it!!! Every person on stage was on point, and I've never seen such incredible improvisation. The front man/singer (I don't know his name) worked the crowd like a champ, and I can't wait til someone uploads a video on Youtube of his "ballet interpretation". Anyone who was at the show knows what I'm talking about - absolutely hilarious. The sound was perfect throughout the entire set as well. Everyone's solos were incredible, and big props to the woman on sax/keys. During the first few songs I think most of the crowd (on the floor where I was) was still a bit curious, but by the end they had everyone moving their feet. I think they really impressed the crowd big time, and I'm glad Portnoy got them on the tour to help introduce them to a younger audience. If I had tickets to see Dream Theater on another night, I would have left the show to try and meet the band during Dream Theater's set. Seriously incredible.

I already can't wait to see them again! 2 Thumbs up!

P.S. I can't find the setlist anywhere; can anyone help me out?
