    Famous Zappa covers

    One of my favorite non-Frank versions of "Peaches en Regalia" was on the Dixie Dregs live album "California Screamin'" which Dweezil guested on.  There are not too many bands than can take on the task of covering Frank's repertoire but the Dregs were certainly worthy.  Another favorite of mine is Gov't Mule's instrumental version of "Pygmy Twylyte" which appeared on the bonus disc of "Live w/ a little help from Our Friends"  (Gov't Mule has also covered "Trouble Every Day" a few times live)

    Many online games require drive mad players to cooperate with others to win, which can cultivate teamwork spirit.

        I do not have any pictures or audio from the special FZ song I remember singing. It was from Michael Hedges' performance in the Student Union Hall at the University of Nevada, Reno or slope game

              Absolutely, the Dixie Dregs did an impressive rendition of "Peaches en Regalia", and having Dweezil as a guest surely added a layer of authenticity to it. It's a testament to Frank's influence that so many varied and talented artists have tried their hand at his tracks. Speaking of other covers, Phish has played “Peaches en Regalia” numerous times in their live shows. Their jam-band style brings a unique flavor to it. Additionally, Zappa Plays Zappa, led by Dweezil, has done exceptional work in continuing Frank's legacy by playing many of his tracks with astonishing precision. It's heartening to see Frank's work live on and inspire so many artists across genres.

                  I think my favorite might be Michael Hedges' version of Sofa.

                              I forgot about that one-I do remember that. She was on a sitcom at some point right?

                                Hedges was such a great musician and innovator, it's tragic more people don't know him.


                                Also, The Persuasions did an entire album of Zappa covers that should be considered essential listening for any Zappa fan!
