GovernorSilver Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Thinking of catching the Tuesday night show at the Birchmere in Alexandria VA. This is the lineup - not familiar with any of the names other than Dweezil, but I figure they gotta be good to be on this tour: http://www.zappaplayszappa.com/players.html The Birchmere website promises a cover of the "One Size Fits All" album in its entirety plus other Zappa works.

Mark Zeger Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I saw them 3 years ago at our jazz festival. I know Scheila Gonzalez was in that band and she slayed. Unfortunately, technical problems with their new IEM system badly hampered the show and the FOH mix was challenging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthaholic Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I was thinking about going to the Atlanta show on the 18th but I have gigs. That afternoon he's doing a Master Class for $75. The fact there's a Highway To Hell and only a Stairway To Heaven says a lot about anticipated traffic numbers People only say "It's a free country" when they're doing something shitty-Demetri Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GovernorSilver Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 Great show in Alexandria last night! Gonzalez was awesome as vocalist, woodwind player, and 2nd keyboardist. Heck, the whole band was awesome. Ben Thomas covered Frank's vocal parts and I think Napoleon Murphy Brock and others - amazing pipes. He also contributed trombone, trumpet, and 2nd guitar. Chris Norton sang and played George Duke's parts - also amazing. They covered the entire "One Size Fits All Album" and then added some other favorites like "Cosmic Debris", "I'm So Cute" etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
