I saw this poster in the "all night open" shop and took a few pics of it.

I've already seen this show, I can recommend it to people who never saw
Zappa live. They're good but not better than Zappa and they don't give
an interesting interpretation, just play the album as best as they can.

Agreed, i also strongly recommend Le Bocal:
"Oh, No! Another Frank Zappa memorial barbecue".

Since no cover band has ever been close to the "real" thing, even
though i do fancy a few of them still... They all lack Frank, that's
it.

I guess I don't get the whole "FZ cover band" bit. Yeah, Frank put on
some excrementally interesting shows and the instrumentalism required
by the band to keep up with his solo requirements of them were
phenomenal, but that's why I have the live albums! I do enjoy some of
the interpretational covers of Zappa's work but I don't want to see a
band trying to imitate him. That makes as much sense to me as people
who go to see Elvis impersonators. What is up with that?
