There is quite a lot of variation I think. From the very good band continuing from the ashes to the shite exploitation end of the spectrum.

One band that keeps springing to mind for me is The Magic Band without Don van Vliet. I'd been lucky enough to see the real thing a couple of decades before, but for those who hadn't it must have been a real treat, they were really very good considering. An example of "it could have been so bad but wasn't".

That is a great example. I really liked the first Zappa Plays Zappa incarnation too. If the music is good enough and it is played with fire then I don't care who is on the stand.

Yes Zappa plays Zappa is a good example. Also Henry Kaiser and Wadada Leo Smiths's take on late 70s Electric Miles came up with some interesting re-imaginings without necessarily trying to simply reproduce.
