Billing: THE GRAND
MOTHERS OF INVENTION
FAREWELL TOUR SPRING 2018

THE GRAND (as in GRANDIOSE) MOTHERS OF INVENTION
have consistently performed THE MUSIC OF FRANK ZAPPA
since 1980 with hundreds of concerts on 4 continents playing
(not performing) the music they helped create, rehearse,
and refine and picking up FRANK ZAPPA converts along they way
where ANYTHING can and still does happen
without a net
without the same set list night after night
and not trying to replicate a bygone era but
definitely playing
in the moment
at the moment
every moment
KINDA LIKE LIFE
where well laid plans go awry,
things fall apart,
circuits blow
instruments blow up
but they keep landing on their feet
while you can't trace THE MONA LISA
(well you probably can but what would be the point???)
in the end YOU ARE WHAT YOU IS
24/7
and not just when you walk onto a stage
so long
farewell
auf wiedersehen
goodbye
adieu
