The wonderfully inventive music of Frank Zappa is brought back to life in ZAPPA PLAYS ZAPPA. Spearheaded by Frank's son, ace guitarist Dweezil Zappa, this concert special captures some of the best musical numbers from the acclaimed Zappa Plays Zappa tour. Dweezil and his virtuosic band (including guest guitarist Steve Vai) blister through a live performance of some of Frank Zappa's greatest songs, such as "Pound for a Brown" and "I'm the Slime."
