DWEEZIL ZAPPA PLAYS ZAPPA

Last week, we went to see Dweezil Zappa in concert in Brussels, in Utrecht and in Tilburg.
Overkill ?
Probably, but it was fun. Lots of fun.
Although three times is enough...

A great choice of tunes with lots of Flo & Eddie material, showcasing the amazing talents of Cian Coey and Adam Minkoff. It was great to hear Rollo performed, and I loved the start and finish with the 'Mudshark' theme. Superb.

For one reason or another, the Brussels performance was a bit lame. Maybe because everybody was seated? I don't know (but I did love my seat).
Utrecht was the best out of the three: more powerful, 'King Kong' snippets in the guitar solos, and an excellent sound.

The Brussels datasheet looked like this :

The Tilburg setlist went back to the Brussels one.
Good times for all !!
