The show in Denver was outstanding! Both bands.
The encore for ZPZ was Don't Eat the Yellow Snow > St. Alphonzo's Pancake Breakfast. Yes, folks, humor DOES belong in music. And I had heard of Frank Gambale, but was not familiar with his music. He fit right in to RTF; he's an animal on the guitar.
I know this is an over-used cliche, but it just doesn't get any better.

Gibson has an ad/article online about FZ which includes a ~16 minute video of Dweezil showing & talking about his (completely insane) ZPZ rig, and his & Frank's guitars. Click the link, go to the 2nd picture & click the play arrow.

He's currently using two Axe-FX II units from Fractal Audio in his rack - see the pics above, the middle two uints with green/yellow screens with many cables duct taped to the front.

RTF was great, Zappa Plays Zappa was better, IMHO. See this show.

Great show in Houston last night! RTF was amazing as always, but I was really blown away by Dweezil & his band! Dweezil hung out & signed autographs the whole time they were changing equipment out, & Chick hung out after their show until the last autograph was signed. Stanley shook hands across the front of the stage, but didn't sign anything that I saw. I was bummed, I brought a picture for him to sign. I got Dweezil & Chick to sign my ticket stubs, both signed them upside down! LOL! If you ever get a chance to see Zappa Plays Zappa, I highly recommend it!!
