I've loved ZZ Top since the beginning. Saw Moving Sidewalks '69 in my hometown at Kukral Center CYO dance. Don't get me wrong but the last 4 times I saw them, I was really disappointed. It seems that Billy has in his mind that he can get up there and play a version of a song we all have been used to hearing and he plays it in a way that doesn't even come close to sounding the way that rocked us, doesn't even sound like the same song, took that special "feeling" right out of it. And one time I saw them they had just come out with a new album, and didn't play one song from it. Didn't play even one of their biggest songs beside La Grange. Took away the bluesy rock and roll fire I once had in my heart for them.

🎯💯. EXACTLY! Me too......

Back in 1977, at a Holiday Inn in Fargo, ND, I was drumming for a touring Top 40 dance/lounge band. In the middle of our third set, all three members of ZZ Top walked into the bar. They had been gigging at the local arena-type venue. Our band did acceptable versions of La Grange and Tush, but the leader decided, for whatever reason, not to call them. Instead of getting my plea to open with La Grange, I got to sit with all three of the boys between those two sets. A real dream come true since I had at least two of their albums on the road with me and I loved their music. Sensational band. Superb group of gentlemen. RIP Dusty.

Are you guys hearing how this bass sounds?

I have seen this band 4 times, including this tour here. Without question the most professional band/musicians. Always show up sober. Always play at their top notch best. Always put on just the right amount of showmanship. They just nail it!!
