Not being the biggest Zappa fan in the world makes it hard for me to truely comment on this show. I did find it very enjoyable, and was very impressed with Dwezil and the band that he assembled. His band sounded very good and from what other fans have told me he stayed very true to Frank's original compositions. This was a very fun concert, and an event that I will soon not forget, especially 'Black Napkins' and 'The Torture Never Stops'.

While the Neuman source that was given to us all by danlynch does sound better, this particular source is complete unlike his. So use this as filler for his, or enjoy this as a whole.

The only editing that has been done to this recording is fade in/out for each disc. Besides that it is exactly as it was recorded that night.

I was blessed with the perfect recording position, and the crowd was actually not all
that rowdy, considering the holiday atmosphere in the venue. There were some talkers
in front of me, but they were mostly responsive to the music after the first couple of
songs. The sound quality in the venue was outstanding, and the performance was top
notch. Unfortunately, I was prepared for the two-set shows of the tour earlier in the year,
and got caught having to change flash drives on the fly. As a result, I missed much of
Village and most of Echnidna's, approximately 5 minutes of music. The missing music
can be patched with an alternate source at a later date if an enterprising audio person
requests, and/or provides another comparable source. Please do not edit, "remix",
"matrix", or otherwise alter this recording without first consulting with the recorder.
DO NOT COMPRESS to lossy formats or sell this recording under any circumstances!

ENJOY!
