Did you attend the ZPZ show at the Yokohama Blitz in Yokohama?

Dweezil and the band would love to read your reviews.

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

The final night of the Tour de Japan. The show was fantastic again.
They seemed to be relaxed, played with rock oriented flavor at first and did incredible technical songs afterward.
The band played variety of songs. Peaches and Baltimore were wonderful surprises to me, which I didn't expect.
Audience participation time took place without any explanation during Dupree's Paradise.
We tried to understand what Dweezil intended by his gestures, but sometime we missed his intention and end with peaceful laughter.
One of the climax of the show was Vai's guitar solo on City Of Tiny Lites. It was extraordinary exciting stunt guitar.
Dweezil played the guitar exactly the same as FZ at Yo Mama. I love the atmosphere of it.
When Dweezil introduced the member at the end of the song like FZ did, tear flowed from my eyes.
I wish I could listen to this band everyday.

After the show, Dweezil handshaked and wrote autographs for every request of audiences.
One of the crew gave me a guitar pick of Jamie Kime. There is a print of the map of Japan and text on it says ZPZ JAPAN 2008. This became my good souvenir.

Thank you very much for coming to Japan. I've fully enjoyed these three days.
My happy short holiday came to the end.

Dweezil said the band may come to Fuji-Rock Festival in Japan.
I think it'll be a good idea that the band come to a festival,
because the people who does not know FZ well can experience his songs.

This show totally kick ass.....I hope they never stop touring!! And they definitely need to come back to Japan soon! I was surprised by the popularity of Zappa amongst the Japanese here. Very nice to see indeed.


All the band members were spot on.....hands down the best live music I have heard in ages.

Steve Vai's guitar solos were simple friggin insane!!! They will blow your mind.

Next time book some more dates!!!

Cheers!

It was a very wonderful performance.
Zappa Live can be experienced for the first time, and it is exciting. However, it wants more people to experience the music of Zappa,
Please come to the Fuji Rock Festival in the summer of this year.

I am unskilled and apologize for English.
