Of course, I can't pass up a ZZ Top show within 20 minutes from my house...whadayou, kidding me?
They seemed a bit ragged out, but still put on a good show. This was my 4th time, and the second in as many years. I'd go again next year if they come back...
Billy G played a goldtop on "Just Got Paid", a tele something or other on "La Grange" and "Tush", the fuzzy explorer thing on "Legs", and a version of his siggy Gretsch the rest of the night. It was all white (including the fretboard) with gold hardware, and sounded about as good as a guitar can sound. Best of the bunch for sure. They both had three full stacks that said "Cr8te" in the upper left corners, with no amp heads in sight.
The stinky worm hat was covered with a baseball cap turned backward....wearing a pair of cheap sunglass and donning a pair of aviator goggles up on the cap...leather jacket...very funky look. Dusty matched...except for the worm hat underneath.
They played the expected tunes and one I didn't see coming...."Chevrolet". The highlight of the night for me.
Frank Beard may be the most laid back drummer on the planet.
I was going to buy a t-shirt, but they all said "Summer 2007 Tour" on them. $40 for a leftover is too much....
Billy said, "we just got back from Hong Kong...China."
"no....wait, that was Hong Kong, Mississippi".
Here's some pics a workmate of my wife's PARENTS too (damn, I'm old!!)....
Enjoy....
Here's a few extra pics of the Rev...including some fuzzy guitar action.
