Zappa Plays Zappa - The Illinois Enema Bandit

[LuneyTune72]

Wow, Dweezil did a good Frank impersonation at the beginning.

[BARRIEMOREBARLOW]

Fucking A....He is one bad ass playa

[nunestunes]

i would say badass solo but im sure you are all aware

[CommBreakDown]

is that ike?

[gaffelmeister]

@CommBreakDown Ray White!

[szt1964]

The voice! Still the same great voice like in 1984

[jimharris84]

the only thing ZPZ is missing is Ike. Ray is great too though.

[Profetadelnopal]

I think Dweezil do it just perfect. FZ genius, and DZ TOO!!

[BigKahuna93]

"isn't that amazing?" :D

[vulvasonic]

Dweezil at his best. I love his solo!

[elvisleeft]

Does anybody knows where the song really is about? Its a good song no doubt..

[BlakZappath]

[r3dfiv3]

Frank *****

[TheRealFZ]

Hey Dweez, you're just only in it for the money, don't ya?

[Pyrofries]

That's a ridiculous claim.

[TheRealFZ]

Isn't ist. It's the Truth. Just listen to Frank's version, thanx.

[cjk9013]

Why are you doggin' Dweezil; it's his dad fool!! Go and get a life.

[jaffijoe]

Dweezil worked pretty hard to learn his dad's music. He knows most of his dad's catalogue pretty intimately; he can play most of every instrument's part in just about any song. Of course, he isn't nearly as great as his father and probably never will be. But, I would rather that it be Dweezil carrying on his father's legacy (along with a lot of the original players) than some shitty cover band that just doesn't have the musical chops. Dweezil put together a top -notch band.

[analyzingfunny]

@jaffijoe This some Brazilian Zappa Band and they are really good.

[TheDUKEoYORK]

@jaffijoe

Amen brother:)

[tommybza]

@jaffijoe Right on man saw the old man a few times .

[winbornryan1]

@jaffijoe your comment is part fact and part bs. dweezil is a great musician. the probably never will be pisses me off. give the man credit. he is not the same person as his father. the talent requiired to read the tabs and pull off the timing in these pieces is nothing short of extrodinary. my opinion is your opinion should be different. america dude.

[RussMoxham]

@jaffijoe This may--may--all be true but I gotta say, I play guitar and when I saw the band last year there were a few sudden moments (of improvisation) when Dweezil had me staring at the fretboard of his guitar with a look on my face as if I'd just had an embolism. To my mind at least, he is that good.

[gumbyonacid]

@jaffijoe I think technically dweezil is a better guitarist..........but frank is my alltime fave-

[thebluesrockers]

this song is based on a true story.

Frank Zappa was great. this is a great Job.

[Wernerandreasli]

Good he tried this song. Its difficult to match the master. But it was a very good try ;-)

[thebluesrockers]

yeah, but you can he's a chip off the old block.

he can sure rock the hell out of the guitar.

[sidhrtha]

the only thing close to the real thing. dweezil you are great a little stiff/republican, loosen up bro, get funky, get that sarcastic keepin the bad boys in our society on their toes attitude, god knows we need your dad more than ever!!

[jontheplatypus]

FZ was a republican and flaunted it quite loudly when opposing Tipper Gore (married to the DEMOCRAT politician Al Gore). Point being: when you got it, you got it. Party lines are mostly a slide of hand illusion anyways.

[shpidoinkle]

Zappa NEVER claimed allegiance to ANY political party. If his views reflected anything he would have been Libertarian. If you listen to the FZ album Frank Zappa meets the Mothers of Prevention, he never mentions any party affiliation. His views are far more "liberal" In The Classical sense; meaning he believed in individual freedom and responsibility, something that NEITHER dominant party endorses or supports in their actions, or legislation.

[therealCanablisS]

@jontheplatypus so truee so true

[ludy39]

Zappa must live thank you Dweasel your great keep up the mission

Rip Jimmy

[stuie46]

Does Dweezil have a son yet? Hope he has as we need another generation of Zappa to delve into the private Zappa "vault" to keep the music coming forever. RIP Zappa.

[Vaiplayszappa]

Yeah, I guess he has two kids, a son and a daughter.

[CosmicAlfonzo]

The monarchy will live on. >.>

[ironrushscorp]

@stuie46 I believe he has a daughter... but he recently got divorced...

[bonesofsteel]

I was at this show.. AMAZING!!! We ran into Ray White before the show and talked to him

[roon41]

Ray White still has it 32 years later..amazing!

[drjones555]

What song was it when the sax girl (sorry don't know her name) piped through some effects for a super cool old radio sounding solo. That was absolutely fantastic. Is it on here?

[ftarp]

I was there. By far the best show at Bluesfest!

[Wheel83]

Zappa plays Zappa was the best thing I have ever experienced. Thank you all for sharing Frank's music and genious.

[xxjayyoungxx]

[ArtmonkeyProductions]
