My wonderful GF hooked us up with tickets to see ZZ Top in 2019. Oh, my goodness! What a show! Cool




God bless America.

I saw them in the late 1970's in the Portland Coliseum. An amazing show. Cool La grange!

I grew up on ZZ Top, Molly Hatchet, and so forth. I’ll have to check that out; thanks for sharing that!

Eliminator was the first CD I ever bought.
I’ve seen them live three times. Twice in high school.
We’ve gotten old together.
They still rock.

Have always liked their music but saw them years ago at the Richmond coliseum and am pretty sure the whole thing was pre-recorded. Later a friend, who worked there said one would be surprised at how many "live" concerts were pre-recorded.

Saw them in Hawaii's Aloha Stadium, circa 1986.

Run DMC opened for them.

Big time shift in the crowd's demographics during the intermission.

Great band with a really unique guitar style.

The documentary is actually called, “That Little Ol’ Band from Texas,” and if you like ZZ Top, it’s a really great ride.

I’ve seen them twice, once pretty early in their career and again in 2018. You cannot go to a ZZ Top live show and NOT have fun.

La Grange and Tush are still their best jams, but they're tons of fun.

Oh hell yeah! An old favorite band of mine. Saw them 10 times between 1975 and 2011.

It was a big deal here, when they actually played "La Grange" in La Grange. Not much left of the chicken ranch, but I'll take you by it if you're ever in town.

I saw Billy Gibbons play the guitar for a band called 'The Moving Sidewalks' before ZZ Top was formed. They were the opening band for a guy named Jimi Hendrix. You might have heard of him.
