Frank Zappa - Frank Zappa's Son To Mark 40th Anniversary Of Roxy Shows

Eccentric rock legend Frank Zappa's son Dweezil is to mark the 40th anniversary of his late dad's fabled 1973 three-night Roxy & Elsewhere stint in Los Angeles by recreating the shows at the same venue.
Dweezil Zappa will perform three Zappa Plays Zappa shows at the Roxy on 7-9 December (13) to commemorate the three dates (8-10 December) his father played there in 1973 with his Mothers of Invention band.
The gigs will launch a series of events marketed as The Year of Zappa by the bosses of the rocker's trust. Details of gigs and happenings that will take place throughout 2014 are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.

Meanwhile, on Wednesday night (23Oct13), the Los Angeles Philharmonic orchestra will mark the 10th anniversary of the opening of the city's Walt Disney Concert Hall with a presentation of the world premiere of Zappa's 200 Motels.

    No mention of the film that we have been waiting decades for :-( I have my doubts if it still exists.

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
