Zappa Plays Zappa Featuring Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater- Beacon Theater, NYC 8/9/09

[plasticbottleofwater]

Mike is just a genius! Love the guy.

[rushadpatel]

Hot Rats to me is the longest Guitar solo in the history of Rock that does not sound long at all.

Only Zappa could do that

[tjanuranus]

was there!

[FormerlyMrBean667]

Love Portnoy, love Zappa. Isn't it cool how the best musicians in the world have played with Zappa at some stage, and furthermore that these musicians are metal musicians?

[13stampf]

Mike Portnoy sent me here.

@13stampf

I learned about the existance of Frank Zappa by reading in a Mike Portnoy Interview

that it would be his dream to be Frank Zappas drummer in 1989

Then i went to a music store the next day bought a Random Frank Zappa CD

and i was turned into a Fan the next day

That was 2006

[13stampf]

@Zappafan1980 In my case, it was my father who told me about Frank Zappa. Unfortunately my father is not Mike Portnoy. XD

[Zappafan1980]

@13stampf

Yeah Mike Portnoy must be in the Top 10 of the coolest fathers ever

I mean he teaches his 13 year old Son Max to play the drumms

How cool is that ?

I cant wait for the next Dream Theater CD even without Portnoy

i mean i can understand his reasons

[13stampf]

@Zappafan1980 I totaly agree.

And I'm SOO excited to hear his "Adrenaline Mob" record with Russel and Mike Orlando.

The sample sounds amazing *-*

[framebadger]

Too slow...

[aurelyjz]

[binrockin]

[fireofmetal24]

[Murchadha215]

Mike, we all know you love Frank (just as I do), but please: DO NOT EVER SING.

[justentime77]

[Zappafan1980]

Amazing Awesome Great Fantastic

It would be cool if Mike Portnoy would join Zappa plays Zappa for some shows

the 2 nd part of Willie the Pimp reminds me on the improvised songs on LTE 1 & LTE 2

which is some of the best stuff Portnoy Rudess and Petrucci EVER did

[lessborrowed]

very nice! Dweezil does THE best tribute to a "celebrity parent" that I have ever heard or seen!

[Tomdawg89]

Kudos to whoever filmed this. The quality is great.

[TheEmaciatedArtist]

I was there. Later on Dweezil came out during the encore of Dream Theater's set and had a shred fest with Pattrucci and Rudes on his keytar thing. They went back and forth till Dweezil quoted a Jimi Hendrix song and they all joined in. Outstanding show, thanks for the vid.
