Oh 4 joy!

I'm starting to question my understanding of the word 'imminent.'

In 2009, DZ said, "As we approach the new year I have some lengthy breaks
between tours and have studio time scheduled to complete these shows."

In October 2011, DZ said, "6 shows are complete and progress is being made."

In the spring of 2016, DZ said, "The YCFOSA DOWNLOAD mixes have
been completed!!! They are in processing at nugs.net at the moment."
(was at http://www.dweezilzappa.com/pages/the-latest-greatest but now gone)

Lots of talk but NO ACTION.
I'd tell DZ what I think about this but he's taken down the forum on his site.

Very odd situation indeed. Loudly proclaiming a resolution is imminent, then removing the only thread with available information. One would think / hope that if the downloads were in fact not going to happen, DZ would simply state that fact and we'd all calmly move on. I hold no grudges. Sh!t happens.

Sure, I'd love to have a digital version of the show I attended. Paid a few extra dollars for that feature at the time. But it's way past the time to either fish, or cut bait.

C'mon DZ, throw some honest info our way here. These are some of your (and your Dad's) most loyal fan base!

Dweezil should just release all the mixed shows from that tour for anyone to download. I saw one of the Toronto shows and don't care if others who did not pay to see this tour get to download the shows for free. I just want to hear the show I actually saw -- though 8 years later it is not really going to remind me of the show unfortunately.

Years ago I felt he could have just released the first 6 shows (He had said the first 6 were mixed) to all the code holders and said that's all he can do. That would have been acceptable.

He already released a double CD with cuts from the first 3 shows. It is not like he is going to lose out on the opportunity to make money by releasing all the mixed shows now.

He recently said on twitter that the ZFT is getting in the way of releasing the downloads. Also the Apostrophe Tour DVD with George Duke.

I'm working on it.
I'm very busy and can't work on it.
My divorce has delayed this release.
I haven't had time to work on it.
I'm touring with ZPZ.
The delay is because I am hard at work perfecting the sound from these concerts.
I don't have time right now.
Hey, we don't owe you people a thing!
I'm working on it right now.
I'm touring and don't have time.
It's ready and is being processed by Nugs.net!!
It's the ZFT.
I'm working on something else and don't have time.

That sucks.

It was eaten by snakes.

Oh I remember that conversation.

The Obama presidency and Trump candidacy unmasked many people who used to keep their white supremacy in the closet...even as evidenced in this microcosm called the Zappa forum.

I like the comic. But ya gotta admit it's similar to the drawings of the mentally ill Daniel Johnston.

Oh buzz off. I'm terrible at drawing, always have been. That never stopped me from doing it.

I always liked your drawings.

Many artists have a style, a certain something that is immediately recognisable, BBP has developed her own style. A lot of BBP's art contains intelligent humour and commentary, which I find excellent.

Not many people have the balls to put their work/art/music/thoughts out there/here.

Did anyone else get their download ? Or just me.

None for me.

Are you from Chicago?

Nope. I have the Chicago D/L plus the show I attended.

Do you have a link for the download?

If by "their download" you mean a recording of the show I attended: no I didn't.
I still have the tag with the download code and a URL that no longer works, http://nugs.net/zappa

I bought a show from nugs.net and when I went to download it, my stash said my download was available. I wish I had a screenshot
