Throughout the ZPZ tours original Frank Zappa footage was shown on the big screen to which the group played along. This is a partial list of the original FZ performances projected:

Milhouse G. (July 29, 2007)

I saw ZPZ last night at Cain Park in Cleveland Heights, OH. FZ via video projection appeared three times.

1. "Dumb All Over", from Halloween 1981. FZ vocal and unadulterated guitar solo!

2. "Cosmik Debris", from the KCET TV performance, 1974 -- *NOT* the rendition that appears on Dub Room Special. This is a different take, different vocal and different guitar solo. I didn't expect to attend this ZPZ performance and end up seeing and hearing an FZ performance I'd never seen or heard before in my life, but there you are.

3. "Muffin Man", FZ's guitar solo from Baby Snakes.

In both of the first two instances, the footage used is from the one or two cameras that captured FZ only.

In Pittsburgh, they also used the video on 'Montana' and 'Black Napkins'. I noticed some video differences from the usual sources, but I just assumed that they were using raw footage.
