phish
American jam-band Phish has performed Frank Zappa's 'Peaches En Regalia' on various occasions. A recording of this track circulates and can even be found on a couple of Phish bootlegs. 'Big Leg Emma' was performed live a couple of times as well.

"In the summer of 1994, via a radio interview, Phish
announced that they would take votes from phans about what album to play for the
second set of Halloween of that year. The Beatles' White Album won by a long
shot, though with only circa 50 votes (and there were reportedly very few votes
overall).
The voting was repeated but fudged for 1995: Frank Zappa's Joe's Garage got the
most votes, but with insanely complex overdubs, potentially offensive lyrics,
and several tunes (esp. Watermelon in Easter Hay) that Zappa had requested never
be performed live again, the band (after learning a considerable amount of it)
decided they just couldn't make it sound like it should and chose to instead
play Quadrophenia (which reportedly came in second in the voting)."

Around 2004, Phish released their 1994/12/01 concert in their "Live Phish Downloads" series. This concert features Zappa's 'Peaches En Regalia'. As the title suggests, these albums can only be bought and downloaded on the internet.
November 2007, "Vegas 96" got released. This 3 CD-set was available as download and on regular CD. The album included Zappa's 'Peaches En Regalia'.

random notes
From: john habib
Phish has performed Peaches about 60 times in their 15
year/1000 documented live show history. I also know that they did Big Leg Emma
twice in 1987. Exact show info can be obtained from the Helping Phriendly Book
(fan-compiled set lists and reviews) portion of
www.phish.net
Members of Phish have talked about Zappa repeateadly in various interviews.In a
nutshell, he's one of Trey's favorite guitarists and drummer Jon Fishman is also
a Zappa-phile. There is a page about the relationship b/w Phish and Frank's
music in Phish's own The Phish Book (published a few years ago).
