Zappa Plays Zappa

 

Full Concert Friday this week features Zappa Plays Zappa.  Dweezil Zappa and his band playing his father Frank Zappa's revolutionary music in a live concert.  I had a chance to see the band open for Return to Forever on their 2011 world tour and the show was incredible!  That opened me to the world of Frank Zappa's music, the arcane art of the absurd yet with plenty of reality.  The set list for this show is:
