3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, but not really that great either., January 11, 2007

This review is from: The Band from Utopia: A Tribute to the Music of Frank Zappa - Live in Stuttgart (DVD)

For those of you familiar with Frank Zappa and his music, this isn't a bad buy. Its a must have for Zappaphiles. And for those who don't know squat about Zappa's music, this isn't the best place to start. The band is lead by Ike Willis, followed by familiar faces from past Zappa bands encompassing the 70s and 80s with no members from the Mothers of Invention participating. The performance is mearly adequate and at sometimes sloppy, but I'm from the school of any Zappa is good Zappa.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not so much fun withoyt Frank, December 9, 2006

This review is from: The Band from Utopia: A Tribute to the Music of Frank Zappa - Live in Stuttgart (DVD)

While its always great to hear Zappa's music played by great musicians (and these are great players) the whole affair seems lifeless and a bit dull. The band is not rehearsed nearly as well as when Z was alive and touring and it never really breaks loose into good chaotic fun the way the Baby Snakes performances do. I think a necessary component for Z's music played live was Frank himself - a kind of zen ringmaster.

I probably won't watch this one again.
