    I'm sure I posted about it around here somewhere but I have no problem repeating myself... We saw them play in Orlando a few years ago. It was one of the best concerts I've seen in a long long time. The DVD rocks too.

    Wow, awesome!

    I wonder if Morgan Agren is on there somewhere? He is a Swedish drummer who played on "Zappa's Universe".

    I had forgotten they put out the DVD but I have talked to a few folks that caught the tour and said that it was really good. I'll have to search out the DVD.

    Great stuff. I love all things Zappa.

    I've never seen a fretboard camera before. Nice touch.

    Thanks Blazes!

    My wife would love that DVD (as would I). I'll have to get it from Netflix.
