I saw the 84 touring group. Hard to beat that memory. Among the stage props I remember were a blowup Ronald Reagan doll and a Boy George effigy. Youtube already has some vids of the ZpZ tour from last week in Ireland.

It's a pretty weird video! Scarecrow Wonder if they did Bike? (I did see 2 stupid videos which used the tune)

David - I saw these same videos as I was surfing youtube this past weekend and I was amazed. I did not know Floyd made so many videos of the early Piper at the Gates of Dawn stuff. But then again, it was art-rock at the time.

"I think I will kill this thread now"

Didn't she release a popular video a couple of years ago that displayed her talents?

I might have an answer here. Is Dweezil up to this task? http://www.zappa.com/cheezoid/whatsnew/zpz/

Does anyone know details on this? I just found out they're coming to Toronto but I think it's really expensive.

I knew somebody who dated a hot black chick.

I found this as I was adding to the Mad Magazine thread. Seems like a lot of work to do this, obviously Amazon is helping out (?). You can choose other instruments from the right side. Have fun. http://www.coverpop.com/pop/synths/

I don't feel well all of a sudden. I've just told my boss.

I have access to dowjones/reuters at work, and the many news stories seem to contradict one another. It's hard not to believe a story that has his family and ex-wife quoted. This one is one from today. © 2006 The Times Picayune. 26 May 2006 Provided by ProQuest Information and Learning. All rights reserved. A week after he was found unconscious in a pool of blood on Bourbon Street, jazz pianist Hilton Ruiz remained in critical condition Thursday, but his family members said they no longer suspect he was attacked. Ruiz's relatives are satisfied with the New Orleans Police Department's account of the incident as an accident, said Mary Howell, a local lawyer and spokeswoman for the Ruiz family. "Mr. Ruiz was on Bourbon Street and stumbled while walking across the street, hitting his face on the side of the curb," NOPD spokeswoman Bambi Hall said. "The evidence is clear. No one beat him, no one robbed him and there was no criminal act whatsoever," Hall said. For nearly a week, rumors that the famed jazzman was beaten after leaving a Bourbon Street bar had circulated from coast to coast. Newspaper reports quoted family and friends questioning police reports that Ruiz stumbled and fell, hitting his head. "There were a lot of different accounts that the family investigated," Howell said Thursday. "The family is now convinced that this was an accident, a tragic accident." Howell said the family is "very appreciative" of the efforts shown by NOPD Superintendent Warren Riley in getting to the bottom of Ruiz's condition. Ruiz, whose 54th birthday is Monday, was found unconscious and bleeding May 19 about 4:30 a.m. Ruiz's heart stopped on the way to the hospital, but he was resuscitated, according to Joel Chriss, Ruiz's longtime friend and manager. Howell said Ruiz remained in critical condition Thursday night at East Jefferson General Hospital. Ruiz, of Teaneck, N.J., was in the city for radio and television interviews promoting a pending CD showcasing New Orleans music, Chriss said. Ruiz is renowned in jazz circles for his Afro-Cuban jazz and bop music. His teachers included jazz pianist and composer Mary Lou Williams, and he spent four years working with saxophone player Rahsaan Roland Kirk. "I'm incredibly saddened," Chriss said. "But I'm trying to stay positive. We all know the reality may not turn out well. I know he wanted to live long and play music until he was an old man. The fact that that may not happen is very sad." The accident has taken an emotional toll on the family, especially on Ruiz's ex-wife who is his best friend, Chriss said. Chriss said she's "a mess" right now and "that no one in the world knows either one of them better than the other." Those close to Ruiz said they're hoping the beat will go on for the one-time child prodigy, who at 8 years old played a gig at Carnegie Recital Hall. Ruiz was performing with Latin groups in his early teens. His first recording, at age 14, was with a group called Ray Jay and the East Siders. While still in his teens, Ruiz worked with tenor saxophonists Frank Foster and Joe Henderson and trumpeters Joe Newman, Freddie Hubbard and Cal Massey. The many musicians with whom he has since worked have included Tito Puente, Dizzy Gillespie and Charles Mingus. He was among musicians featured on the 1997 video "The Best of Latin Jazz," and his song "Something Grand" is part of the "American Beauty" soundtrack. "We're all praying for a miracle," Chriss said. "Where there is breath there is hope."

I owned a lot of these at one time. Damn, why did I sell them off? http://www.collectmad.com/madCoverSIte/

Jim - I hope your family doesn't mind, but I just sent these guys over your place for some drinks and organ music to accompany your construction work.
