Aaron's soloing on ?
At one point during the show, some guy tossed a CD at Dweezil. It hit his guitar and shattered.
Dweezil asked him "Go away". "I'm not going to listen to that CD" "You did it to yourself, go away".
"You see that's not a good way of getting me a CD"
Noticing: "Hey, it's one of MY CD's!"
Dweezil also told us he used to fall asleep on the padding of FZ's PA system whenever FZ played Peaches
Lowlights:
Sheila Gonzales's solo on the one song I failed to recognise
The show finishing
During the soundcheck, well, it wasn't much of a soundcheck, more of a private concert. As I walked in, the band played Edchina's Arf.
Part 2: at my sister's:
It's now quarter to 1 local time.
VIP: 60 people, divided in an orange group and a purple group, one would sit on the left side, one on the right side of the stage. I was purple.
About three of the VIPs would fall under DZ's definition of "kids", the rest was pretty much in their 50s.
Soundcheck: after the band finished Arf, DZ turned to us, asked if we had won a contest. "No we have paid for it!" some guy said.
"Good," replied DZ, "we hope this will be worth your investment."
After some songs, DZ explained why the tour was delayed: "There were these things, you see".
Soundcheck playlist:
Edchina's Arf
Black page 1 and 2 (with TB and SV)
Eat That Question (with TB and SV who played a nice solo)
St Alphonso' s Pancake Breakfast / VoB
and, especially for us, they hadn't played it for some time: Imaginary Diseases.
Pretty cool!
Then we were asked to stand in line for the Meet and Greet. This was advvertised as a meeting with the band, but only Dweezil was doing that, and
there were 60 people queueing...
I was third in line. The people before me had a nice chat, but the tour operator or something wstarted rushging and hurrying the line, so the
discussion:
-May I have your signature? (hand him my Monet d agenda and Dexter's Laboratory ballpoint)
-I have my own pen right here. (shows big black fibre pen)
(DZ puts his sig in my agenda)
BP:Thank you!
-Thanks for coming!
And then I was sent away, without the opportunity of asking him when his next album was due.
Then I met Sebastiaan and talked some to him.
I went to the box seat on the right side of the hall, where bites were served and drinks were free.I sat in the far corner, a bit down, and grabbed my
Tolstoy book which I had brought. A nice guy came sitting next to me, we got chatting. The hall filled. I missed the meeting with the Zappa forumers,
and when I remembered, it was 10 to 8. I went down to the hall, which was crowded, and having put on my FZ shirt, I was unrecognisable. Sorry Puptent!
On going back, I took a free drink, and completely forgot my no-chocolate diet; and took a hot chocolate. I didn't realize until I was sitting
down and taking sips.
Luckily, the show made it up. It was superb!
