Did you see ZPZ at the Ventura Theater in Ventura, CA?

Dweezil and the band love reading your reviews.

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

The show was great! It was my first time to see Ben Thomas and he nailed it. Can't beat the venue either. My personal highlight was Big Swifty.

And Scott Thunes showed up which was really fun to see.

Does anyone have a setlist?

This was my first time seeing the band and I thought they were great. However, I have to disagree about the venue. This is the third time in a row now that I have been to the Ventura Theatre and the sound has been muddy to the point of obscuring the music and the audience had way too many drunk idiots. I live 5 minutes from the Ventura Theatre and next time I'll drive somewhere else to see the band.

OMG!! The show was amazing. The new singer blew my freakin' mind. I was worried about the crappy sound at Ventura but was pleasantly surprised at how great ZPZ sounded - I was up front though dancing my ass off. I can not wait to them them again! I don't care where they play.

AND THANK YOU, DWEEZIL FOR KEEPING FRANK'S MUSIC ALIVE!!!!

Thanks for posting the setlist!

For those who weren't there, we got to vote for the last encore. Choices were I'm the Slime, Cosmik Debris and Muffin Man.

Muffin Man won (win!)

I guess a little late is better than never,

So here I go, I am the guy that wrote that Ben sucked, and give me the mic. & I will sing the songs. Because when we saw them at the Nokia theatre & the Greek theatre he sucked... If you could even hear him. Well, I said I would be up front dead center singing my ass off and I was. It felt like all eyes were on me especially Ben's. I think he knew I was the ass hole but you know what It just might have put a flame under his ass because this guy sang his heart out and blew a bitchen harp. If you read this Ben I just want to say my hats off to you bro. what a excellent job!!! and as far as the sound of the show, Dweezil mentioned in one of his posts that he tweeked the sound, because he was playing some old stuff. And wanted the sound the same as the record do you remember records? Thats where it all started, on vinyl... Well, I just want to say. What a awsome evening, and the cherry on the top was Scott Thunes thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Did anybody get a picture when Ben hugged me?
