    I have seen the band twice in England in the last few years. They blew me away the first time but nothing could prepare me for how well they played Frank’s music the second. They had moved past the place where they were merely good enough to play some of the most complex and difficult music ever to come out of the rock idiom, and had progressed to the point where they could enjoy playing it, playing with it, and making their own. My highlights were Ray White singing The Illinois Enema Bandit and an amazing live version of the devilishly complicated G-Spot Tornado.

    I can’t wait until they cross the Atlantic again. Thoroughly recommended to anyone that appreciates Zappa or music in general. And Billy the Mountain! Wow!
