CAPTAIN BEEFHEART CONCERTS AT DIME

A lot of excellent recordings of Captain Beefheart shows are being seeded (peer-to-peer) over at DimeADozen right now.
And it's not just the quality of the recordings that is exceptional. There's some pretty rare stuff among it as well.
A nice opportunity to catch up on some live Beefheart.

ZAPPANALE -- BITS N PIECES -- PART 6

Still impressed by the Ensemble Ambrosius concert in Hamburg, the second gig that I absolutely wanted to see, was Lilo's Zapmospheres project.
One guy, a guitar, and a backing track.

This was nice.
As it was one of the pre-party concerts, there wasn't much of a crowd, but those of us who where there, were impressed.

LILO - ZAPMOSPHERES


Lilo brought some copies of his "Zampospheres" album to Zappanale.
The disc offers the tracks that you can find on his MySpace site, plus one.
(Anyone knows the title of track number nine?)

I was very impressed with Lilo's Zappanale concerts. The "Zapmospheres" album presents the tracks in perfect sound & quality.
It's a must-have for the ZGA (Zappa Guitar Aficionado).

This album deserves a record deal ! But in the meantime, this CDR will do nicely.
