ZZ Top Concert Schedule
ZZ Top is a legendary American rock band known for their blues-infused rock music, bawdy lyrics and long, red beards. ZZ Top tours include the 2017 Tonnage Tour, 2016 Hell Raisers Tour, and the 2013 La Futura Tour. ZZ Top live shows leave the audience laughing dancing and feeling like they are at a jam session with close friends, instead of a concert headlined by rock and roll legends. Their massive success has allowed all of their albums to reach gold or platinum status. The band's best selling album is 1983's Eliminator, which spawned the hit singles "Legs" and "Sharped Dress Man." The album went on to sell 10 million units, reaching diamond status and the 25 million records they've sold in the U.S. makes them one of the top 100 selling artists in the country. ZZ Top has sold more than 50 million albums worldwide, and they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame in 2004.
ZZ Top Background
ZZ Top formed in 1969 in Houston Texas with guitarist and lead vocalist Billy Gibbon, organist Lanier Greig and drummer Dan Mitchell. The name of the band came from Gibbons combining the names of B.B. King and Z.Z. Hill, when he noticed that many artists used their initials as their band's name. When ZZ King seemed too close to the originals he changed it to ZZ Top. The current lineup of the band consists of bassist and lead vocalist Dusty Hill, Billy Gibbon and drummer Frank Beard. ZZ Top's signature sound can best be described as blues-infused rock with elements of punk rock and new wave added through their use synthesizers. While Eliminator was the band's most successful album with 10 million albums sold, 1985's Afterburner was their highest charting album. All the singles from Afterburner were Top 40 hits and the album itself went on to sell five million copies. Other Top 40 singles include 1975's "Tush," 1977's "I Thank You," and 1981's "Gimme All Your Lovin'"Follow ZZ Top on social media: Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Facebook.
They haven't lost a beat. Incredible show, small venue. ZZ was smokin. Bastard Winos weren't bad, either. Oddly enough, they were at their best without their lead singer and when they played the blues.
Both ZZ Top and the Bastard Winos gave great performances. I've seen ZZ many times before and it was great to see them up close at the HOB. They are all great musicians and gave 100%.
It was great I must say they are Kings on the stage ,great security,place we where was breaths distance away .First timer and now a fan forever.
ZZ Top at the house Blues is certainly the venue to see them! Up close and personal, you can enjoy the settle interaction while listening to their superb sound! They are musically and personally tight, their interaction with each other and their timing are as close to perfect as you can get! Needless to say this is a show not to be missed!
Phenomenal show. ZZ Top is one of the greatest bands ever to grace a stage, and they once again proved that last night. Great setlist and just the best down and dirty rock show you'll ever see.
The show was amazing!!! The band still has all there chops and energy, the crowd on the overhand was very sedated and although everyone said the show was sold out there was plenty of room. I wish they had turned up the music more. If you get a chance to see a hall of fame group go
These guys never seem to age because they sounded and acted like they did 20 years ago. I would highly recommend to see them if you can. They did some old blues songs that were incrediable and they know how to get an audience going. Had a great time.
I was concerned at first on how this band would react and play in a small venue as opposed to the large arenas they have been playing for years but their music transformed beautifully in this setting. It was as if this band transformed back to their roots. Great show, great venue for anyone to get up close and personal.
This concert was just awesome!! I have liked ZZ Top since I was young and it has been a dream of mine to see them live. They sounded great and would LOVE to see them again!!
Very good and would go again. Told friends it was very good.
I must say I love ZZ Top, this is the third time I have seen them, but I actually was disappointed in their performance. That played alot of mellow songs, never really go t the crowd going. I really missed them playing some of their most popular songs. I am glad I got the chance to see them before, because this will be my last time. Best of luck to them!
Hard to believe all that amazing sound can come out of just 3 musicians! Sounded live as good as they are on their recordings. Got to meet Billy at a local restaurant the night before the concert & got his autograph & a picture with him. .... such a soft-spoken, polite gentleman - such a contrast seeing him onstage with all those sounds from "La Grange" coming out of him! :) Music was loud but didn't overpower the vocals (unlike David Cook's concert at the Orpheum a couple of weeks ago, where we could barely hear his singing at all). Loved it, love them, would DEFINITELY go see ZZ Top again if given the chance, and would definitely recommend the show. Also great that they had the Eliminator out front. The only complaint I have is that I only saw only one T-shirt booth after the concert & people were squished at least 6 deep around it in the small space right near the main exit with the crowd leaving.....was just too hot waiting for what looked like just one guy taking care of all those people. After waiting about 10 minutes & not getting any closer to being served, I turned claustrophobic & decided I did not need to go through such misery to try & spend my money & gave up. Since the Tyson Center was not sold out, there was PLENTY of room for another stand. On the plus side of the concert not being sold out, I was able to get the BEST concert seats I've EVER had - front & center, main floor, within the first 10 rows - wish I could do that well for all of them.
Everyone in our group thought the night was fun and entertaining. We especially enjoyed when they played their older hit songs. That really got the house rockin' and rollin' - We enjoyed seeing their "old video's" when they played their older music - like "She's got legs".
ZZ Top rocked it like a hurricane! I was hoping for an opening band, but there was none. But ZZ Top was great!
The show was very entertaining. It's hard to believe they can still get down & rock!!
This concert was awesome, these guys know what they are doing and they really know how to entertain their audience. One of the best bands still around that play awesome rock and blues.
I loved every minute of the performance and it seemed that the people around me loved it too. The nonstop music was jamm packed with hit after hit!! This was my second time that I've seen them in concert--I loved this one better. I would defintely go see them again.
as always zz top puts on a very good show even though it was only an hour and 15 min. it could have been longer but for $50.00 a ticket i guess you get one good hour of fun& music. as far as the tyson center went i would think when you pay to see a show they wouldn't have to charge you $5.00 for parking i thought that was a little cheep of them.
really good show .good light show. the thing that will make me not go again is that they only played for 1 hour and 25 min. this was a rip off. you can pay alot less per min. to see superstars not just zz top. should have been 2 bands for the money. RIP OFF!
10+ years since I last saw them. If anything, they are better than before. Like a fine whiskey, they've gotten better with age! Dusty and Billy still got their chops, and Frank drums with the intensity of a man half his age! I drove 3 hours to see this show and paid for 7th-row seats...It was worth every penny! There is just no substitute for ZZ Top Live!
