I've been saving these notes to write a review of the Zappa Plays Zappa show, but since I haven't done it yet, here they are:
Bozzio lyrics
I'm So Cute and Tryin' To Grow a Chin from Sheik Yerbouti
drumming sounds "like a parody of a speed metal band"
the homo-erotic saga of Punky's Whips
Black Page drum solo (as a duet)
followed by the Black Page from Live in New York
with melodic accompaniment from Steve Vai
Napoleon Murphy Brock
hilarious antics on Montana
and Cheepnis:
"I ate a hot dog
It tasted real good
Then I watched a movie
From hollywood"
instrumental masterpiece Peaches En Regalia
bizarre arrangement of Trouble Every Day
keyboard solo
guitar duels
Bozzio solo material from Drawing The Circle
technical difficulties
Bozzio references Family Guy "Trisha Takanawa"
