Just finished watching AND listening to this entire movie with my son. He had seen some short clips but never saw the movie. I have it on DVD and we cranked it up in the living room. At the end my 16 year old muttered the word " brilliant." And he'd be right. This is just the trailer because the Zappa Family Trust has removed it from the Tube of You.
Well I'm always the odd ball.... I like to listen to world band radio (short wave) and being able to change receiver locations is a great thing. Now I can use other radios all over the world and listen. http://websdr.org/ It works on my cell phone too tp
My mom introduced me to Zappa when I was born, it is sad to hear that this concert was not as good as it could have been. I unfortunately have never seen them in concert. I listen to Zappa probably once a week or so and spend a lot of time singing them to my self. I get a lot of looks humming about Montana and dental floss... Or some lady named Dinah-Moe. I wish they would have filmed Thingfish. That would have been a great movie, or Joes Garage.
I highly suggest checking out Dweezil's band when he tours in September. I think he's going to be in Europe in December. He is doing the entire Hot Rats album and more. Great band and they really do Frank's music justice. I think something happened between when Dweezil was born and when Ahmet was born because after seeing this most recent production, I actually don't think Ahmet has a clue what his father was all about. Dweezil seems to get it. Don't get me wrong. Dweezil is not his father and cannot play the guitar like his father but he's a damn good guitar player. Definitely worth seeing. I've seen Dweezil's band 6 or 7 times over the years. Hot Rats should be pretty cool.
