You're welcome

When I Google this the first option for Brum is £79 pet ticket. Yet on the venue website £39 and not even on sale yet. Funny old world.

Thanks! £108 for 2 tickets but it's only up the road from my work so that saves some money!

Support the Dweez, and not that hologram abomination that's touring.

Got 2 tickets for Manchester.. foolishly got through ticketmaster for £110... Looked on palace theatre website looked like would have saved a fair amount booking direct.

Got Glasgow tickets on Friday. Less than £80 for a pair, delivered, seems like some of you are getting ripped off?! 

Presumably it's cheaper to rent a venue in Glasgow?

Super cool! Thanks for the heads up. I’ve booked tickets for the south bank centre the day before my bday !

This was last night..  I home after 1am and I've been up since half 3... But damn... It was good.

His band were incredible. Multi instrumentalists and amazingly proficient, sounded just like Frank, and the multi harmonies were absolutely note perfect.. a rare thing for a live show.. 

If you have a chance to get to one of the shows... Go. Even if your not a Zappa fan, the sheer brilliance of the band would be worth seeing.

Going to the Leeds show next week and can't wait.

What an amazing show.  A totally unsuitable venue - Leeds Town Hall - but the sheer skill and professionalism of the whole band was gobsmacking.   Hot Rats was a joy to hear; Dweezil a joy to watch  - not a face pulled all night and absolutely effortless playing - and the big old hall just added to the late sixties vibe.

Even the material I wasn't so familiar with kept me fascinated as the interaction between the band members was just how I remember it being when I saw Frank in the seventies.

Fucking brilliant.  And loud too, thank God.

Totally effortless. Made it all look really, really easy. It was the band that amazed me more that Dweezil though.

Frank was before my time unfortunately, how did it actually compare as a drirect experience?

It was far less weird and far more professional if I'm honest.  I only saw him once and I just looked it up and it was the first show at the Rainbow  - 10/12/1971 - what a coincidence.   The Rainbow show was a shambles, as were most shows those days.  If I saw it today, I'd probably remember it for being so amateur.
