Prog fans! Go see Mike Keneally (former Frank Zappa stunt guitarist) on his current tour!

Mike was Zappa's stunt guitarist (a position previously held by Steve Vai and Adrian Belew) on the ill-fated 1988 tour. He also went on to play in both Steve Vai and Joe Satriani's bands. He's currently out on tour with a new trio lineup, including Gregg Bendian (of The Mahavishnu Project) on drums, and Doug Lunn (of lots and lots of things) on bass. I'm planning on attending the show in Philadelphia this Friday, and I encourage all you music lovers to catch a show if you can. Tour dates can be found at www.keneally.com.

Never got to see him with Dethklok, and all the audience recordings of those tour sound like crap.
