I thank FrankZappa and TPalms for meeting me last night to get the tickets. When I finally realized that going to ZPZ would kill me, I decided to get rid of the last ticket. I thought I made 2 good choices by giving the tickets to these two. I do not know any other people who are bigger fans of Zappa\'s music. I know that I could not have enjoyed the show as much as these 2, so I was happy they went and had a great time.

yeah, but that\'s how the vast majority of concerts are. i once had a cousin try to convince me to go on a multi-day, multi-state metallica run and i was like, \'but d00d, why would i travel out of state to see the same thing three times in a row???"

sometimes i forget how nicely we\'ve been spoiled and how lame the rest of the universe is!

thats the thing though, zappa himself said that he liked to make every show unique for each place they were playing at. so why wouldn\'t his family continue that tradition? just can\'t handle to learn more of the catalogue? or lack the genius mind to come up w/ original and unique setlists every night?

I think I remember reading that they only learned so many songs for this tour because they wanted to have the songs known perfectly and thought it would have been a disservice to Zappa to go and play songs less than perfect.

i read something along those lines in The Advocate.

wonder how long it will last till they start integrating new stuff.

Glad you guys enjoyed the show. Strangely enough, I was actually listening to the Milan show from earlier this year in the car yesterday and today.I think they are beginning to integrate new stuff - Brain Police and Regyptian are definitely new songs in the set. Just wish I could have justified the exhorbitant ticket prices when they came over here.

yea, they are in nyc tonight but no way I\'m paying $90 US to see a cover band.

Especially when I just saw them for FREE. :banana:
