Im showing my boy what a good show and band is. He drug me to see some of the screaming goofballs he calls bands now its my turn ZZ Top here we come next Thursday Got lower level and they are filming this show for a new video Could see some flashing action

Took my son to see ZZ at the cow palace in SF about 15 years ago...says it was the best RnR show he's ever seen...couldn't believe the mix of folks who showed up....also, how can you go wrong with spinning fuzzy guitars....??? To quote a great movie...."those guys could turn goat piss into lemonade?" hmmm, maybe it's not lemonade, it's late and I may have taken too much cough medicine again.....

One quote I remember from the band (paraphrased - probably badly - from memory): "We're just a garage band, but we've played in some pretty big garages."

ZZ Top still plays?

I wonder if they ever come north of the mason Dixon....

We have tickets too! See you there!!!!

I saw them in Reliant arena after the rodeo in houston. Those guys are the bomb. They filled reliant and they still got the magic touch. Great band to see live.

I saw them back when they were on the Cheap Sun Glasses tour, great show. It should be a good cultural event for your son. I took my boy to see Eric Clapton for his 18th birthday, he was stunned and amazed (me too). Need to show these kids some musicians who can actually play instruments.

There are many new musicians that can play their instruments...I just don't think a lot of them have my taste in music...but every once in a while you get a guy like Jake Shimibukuru (sp) and you can feel hope again.

i saw them in vancouver with the stray cats and the pretenders...
neat show

ZZ Top, great band. They were "The Home Town Boys" when i was growing up in Houston!!

Enjoy the show!!!

List of the songs on that album.
Wow, has it been 24 years? I can still visualize the chicks in the "Legs" video.
ZZ Tops. Fantastic group, chicks and a dream of a hotrod.
Yell "more" a few times for me.

Thanks.

If you're in a high school rock band I don't think there could be a better song to play for the yearly talent show than "Sharp Dressed Man".

I saw ZZ Top a few years back at the Allentown Fair. As usual, it was an awesome show. Also saw them back in 74 and 79 at the Pittsburgh Civic Arena and Three Rivers Stadium.

I think I saw a naked cowgirl... she was floatin' cross the ceilin'

I like a band that doesn't take it's self too serious!!

Like doing a song about TV dinners.

And Frank Beard (the only one w/o a beard IIRC) raced Porsches back in the day.
