Wow ZZ TOP
Zed Zed Top coming to our little town!http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1523194278.jpg
Hope they bring their hot rod. |
Enjoy the show. Billy Gibbons is a god. Best 3 man band ever in my opinion
|
They played at my companies Christmas (oops, holiday) party in 2014. It was simply amazing!
Enjoy! |
The "Legs" video is fun to watch too. I hope they bring their fuzzy guitars to the show!
|
And their cheap sunglasses!
|
I saw then in 1976 in Savannah, Georgia - Brownsville Station was the opening act.
ZZ Top was incredible. |

Never saw them live but saw Cadzilla when it was being built in Stanton Calif.

Any band who made an appearance in the Back to the Future trilogy is OK in my book!
|
Seen them a bunch of times from their hey day of Eliminator to last show at HOB in Hollywierd. Tried to get tickets to see them play locally but it sold out.
Billy Gs playing is so cool and unique, there is no one like him. Dusty and Frank are as solid as it gets. |
They gotsta get paid.

They are from the little town where my residency was based. Yeah, they rock.
|
Saw them in Tulsa in 71'. No beards (Dusty may have a had a short one), no sunglasses, pretty basic but worth going. I believe a band called Ramatam, with April Lawton, opened. She was a pretty good player in her own right
|
Billy was Jimi Hendrix's favorite guitar player.
|
Cool, haveing them come to play in your town.
YP, you ought to send Billy a pic of your car and invite him to go visit the harbor with you. He'd probably enjoy it. Cheers Richard |
I saw them maybe 25 yrs ago, cant believe they are still at it.

I've seen ZZ a couple of times, once with the big expensive set during the MTV days, and once where they just had a couple of Tiki huts off the sides that Frank and Billy walked out of and started to play, no theatrics, just a minimal light show, nothing to distract from the music.... Both times I had fun, because it looks like they have fun. |

Saw them at the strawberry festival in 83
Great show They will be headlining the midstate fair in Paso Robles in June with George Thorogood BTW, the drummers last name is Beard (the only one that doesn’t have a beard) |
Three man bands have always ruled when they're good...
Jimi Hendrix Experience Grand Funk Railroad Cream ZZ Top Rush Police Emerson Lake Palmer And on the lighter side Crosby Stills Nash (Although it's almost elevator music) Showing my age... |

I would also add Genesis and James Gang.....:cool: |
I have been a big ZZ Top fan since Tres Hombres came out. We have seen them live and it is nice to hear La Grange at the proper volume, 11. ;)
|
Billy Gibbons plays a very good guitar!
|
Not only are these guys great players with an endless catalog of good material, they are showmen in the old-fashioned sense of the word. You really owe it to yourself to see them at least once. I've been attending their concerts for more than 40 years and there's nobody quite like them. What Billy Gibbons can do with a guitar goes beyond what you hear in his recordings.
In the last decade, they have played a lot of small houses and ticket prices for those shows are cheap, compared to just about any other band. They've been around about 50 years, I don't know how much longer they will continue to tour. See them now, if you can. |

They came to town a few years ago. It was one of the best concerts! They definitely love playing, when the show was over, they did an oncore of about 10 songs. It just went on and on and was fantastic.
|
In their encores, sometimes they'll do an old Jimi Hendrix or Led Zeppelin tune. I have to say, they do them better than the originals.

They bad....they're nationwide... |
i'll be at the june 23 show. john fogerty will be with them. looking forward to it. seen just about everyone except these guys
|
The only downfall of the concert that I went to was the opening band, who was Joan Jet. At the end of her very nice set, she gave a 5 minute lecture on being vegetarian and ultimately got booed off stage.

Saw Dusty in Cleveland airport in the 90's. He was surrounded by about five fans. Nodded and he responded in kind. Sweet. |
I met Billy at a hot rod show in Pomona. He signed my La Grange CD. It gives me perma grin thinking about it.
His book, Rock + Roll Gearhead is one to look for too. |
