Ladies & Gentlemen!
The ZPZ ENSEMBLE, as it were, found itself well adjusted to the venue, the also acclimating consistently attending, steadfast faithful fans, adjusted to the fixed seating arrangement. The wealth of items from the vault procured by the maestro, have yet to find the depths of exhaustion on stage to this date. What were once habits of old have found there way to the latest of stages these past few years and now have started to free up the instinctual habits of new (ZPZ group). Along with a few new antics worthy of attending the show such as a very cool offering of the remixed show for download in the very near future and a FREE GUITAR!!
Both opportunities were obtainable via a laminated pass of
YCFOSA.
The subject matter respectfully granted to the audience this fine evening has been, yet again warmly received, and above all very much so heartfelt. There will never be a day that an avid fan would not re-adjust his or her life style that year to attend such a fine requiem of music to behold. The persona from the stage was professional, well rehearsed, now even to the point of the artist’ have seemingly found there own spirits moving with the sway of Franks music rather than standing on the fact that they are REALLY GREAT musicians and CAN hit all the notes. This could be heard throughout the show and I for one am happy for those tenacious tendencies however minuscule.
I find myself working for the efforts of acceptance, and to resolve the misunderstanding of Franks’ music and all of the presumptions in topical conversation with anyone who has or has not listened to all the notes. I did hear tinges of the new subject matter, and it was sweet. I just wish we could have the cake without melting the ice cream.
The fact is that without a youthful following the band may not have a following at all once we kick to be with Frank. I have seen a few youthful tendencies inquisitive enough to follow. However, we do not have The Baked Potato up here to see the really fine stuff that goes on. We are out working out the finer details of our lives just to get a little glimpse of what once was.
The Venue worked, ZPZ worked this venue. FOH engineer, after a belly up to the bar went to his position and never left it. It was nice to see him again.
On the outside now, I have also heard some of Dweezil’s latest creations as background music on a few greatly respected programs. Not to mention Frank Zappas name came up on Jeopardy & who Wants’ to be a Millionaire on New Years day TV.
Believe me as my kids sing; “Plastic People” way before ever thinking ‘Louie Louie’ came first.
This is my fourth show in attendance. I was fifth in line at about 2:30 pm. The house staff of this facility were very honorable as I had been given a quarter for the El Vira Pinball machine, (the game ate my first one) and played this ball for about ten minutes. The ball finally was lodged by a bone in El Viras’ throat No kidding ask the Bartender. We unplugged her at that point.
There was this couple outside the venue inebriated and were willing to share, I did not accept this challenge as my wits worth were to be tested by the ZPZ event just inside. They were having too much fun. The Police came and took them to the pokey, This was the only thing that bothered me that evening because as the girl was handcuffed and placed just outside the bar window she looked at me, she was sad very sad unlike the happy person I had encountered earlier she was looking at me with such sadness I hurt, deeply. She was just having fun at the wrong place & time. I hope she is well now.
However, I digress. The performance was outstanding, all talent intact.
The secret word for tonight for me was
Glendale.
May I suggest a TOUR-DE-DZ
