Did you attend this ZPZ show at the North Sea Jazz Festival?

Dweezil and the band love reading your reviews.

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

Third time I attended and as far as I can remember ZPZ chose all new songs yesterday compared to Amsterdam and Tilburg (with the exception of Cosmik Debris, I guess). Did anybody write down the set list? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Pity it had to be so short, highlights for me were the solos of Sheila and Aaron. Really great, lots of power and energy. Even got my ticket autographed by Billy, Aaron and Jamie, which made my day - thanks guys -

Regards,

a happy fan

For some strange reason i can't post photo's on here though I post here from 2006 on.

Anyway I really digged the concert and will translate a little dutch review I posted on zappa.radio6.nl.

Zappa plays Zappa played last sunday on the Northsea Jazz Fetival a short but powerful "festival-set" in a very crowded Maashall in the Ahoy-complex

On the program were "Zappa-hits" like Inca Roads, City of Tiny Lights, Cosmik Debris, Bamboozled By Love, Kink Kong and others

Zappa plays Zappa played on holy Zappa ground because Frank Zappa played at exact the same spot his last dutch concet on may 4 1988.

Pictures can be found on my MySpace site photo album (click the 3 w's below)

Unfortunately I've never seen FZ play live. The Rotterdam show was the 5th zpz show I saw the past three years. The only negative thing I have to say that this show was to short. But then again, I guess I've been spoilt the past years. I sure hope to see you this fall (in The Hague!!) and many years to come.

Yes, I did attend the North Sea Jazz festival.
I liked the performance very much. One thing however I didn't like is the drummer's voice. The drummer sang the parts that Frank himself originally sang but I didn't like the sound of his voice. I liked his drumming though!

Scheila's performance I found very impressive!

In the audience someone held up a board asking what the key word for the night was (in rememberance of Frank!) but there was no responce to it bij Dweezil, which I regret.

Hello Dweezil! Hello to all members of the Band!I also enjoyed this [b]dynamic show [/b]- especially the laidback version of "bamboozeld by love" with this wunderful (fast)solopart in it - and the unbeleavible finale-tone at the end of the concert! Thanxxx so much for coming! I 'm really happy to feel + hear that the spirit of Frank's music is not only still [i]alive,[/i] but interpreted in a new and astonishing way: it's a extraordinary stroke of luck for us all in our world of confused times... In 2005 I heard the 1. Concert of your new band in DWEEZILDORF ( It was also a phantastic performance - (The "INCA-ROAD- SOLO") - and I 've attended some other shows in germany in next years: they all were milestones in the landscape of music! Still a word to the concert in Antwerp/ Belgie in 2007: There has been a dada-like improvisation from Aaron with this funny [b]Chicken [/b], remember? We liked it very much and hoped that the chicken would have a next chance to do annother solo, ok? Greetings from Münster / Germany : by YAWYI -

PS: For [b]Jules:[/b] I also regret that Dweezil don't react to my sign ( with the question to the key-word), so I'm anxious for the next "secret - possibility") - Maybe we see us on a concert![color=green][/color]
