RE: [Zappa-List] vai-tour de frank report
Im with you Stucco. And thanks for the dates guys. As I feared none that I can possibly make. I was thinking of a summer vacation to California but not by June. Ill just hope for a pro shot DVD with soundboard audio. Anyone heard any rumors about a possible tour DVD of an official nature?
