HawgGoneIt Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 This really blows. I have tickets to a ZZ TOP Concert for Saturday night, and they had already announced that Dusty had to go back to Texas for a hip procedure but the show would go on with their long time guitar tech in Dusty's spot. Idk if I'd expect the show to go on now. Was really looking forward to seeing them perform one last time before they got too old or died. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw them about 20 years ago in tour with Lynnard Skynnard and was hoping to see them again as a whole this weekend. Idk how Billy and Frank carry on the tour now, but, word I got so far is they've canceled their South Carolina show tonight, but, still intend on doing the show I have tickets for on Saturday. I honestly wouldn't be upset if they canceled due to the death of Dusty. You know that's a brother to them. 50 years together. I can't imagine how they keep it going. I hope they do though. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're scheduled to play at Bethel Woods here in N.Y. next month...I just got an offer today from LIVENATION for $20.00 tickets to some shows and ZZ Top was one of the shows...I'm assuming it will get cancelled. Too bad...R.I.P....they created their own R&R style which is hard to do. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw them with AC/DC in high school like 100 years ago. Best concert ever. Grew up watching their videos on MTV with their sick ride. A lot of the acts I grew up liking and following are passing away. Guess that happens when I get old. But man that concert with AC/DC was a fucking blast back in the day. We were so drunk and just being kids and enjoying some great music. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Judas Priest at Madison Square Garden in 1981ish...best show ever...the place went wild...someone started ripping their seat apart the next thing you everyone was ripping their seats apart throwing the cushions towards the stage...by the end of the show the stage was almost knee high full of seat cushions...and that was the last time Judas Priest played M.S.G...they've been banned from M.S.G. after that show...kids being kids..😉 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep sucks getting older and seeing your idols of your youth dying off. Buddy and I kinda have a celebrity death watch and it’s a race to see who texts the big name deaths the fastest. Seeing a lot more of childhood going. Never saw ZZ Top and of course now regret it big time. Always wanted to see them. I used to hit so many concerts starting in the late 70’s while still in elementary school (Day on the Green at Oakland Coliseum was the shit) through the 90’s. Been to maybe 3 concerts the last 10 years. Glad I did see Neil Diamond a few years ago (months before he announced he was going to stop touring). Gotta get off my ass and see some of my favorites before it’s to late. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything from Coolio and Young MC, Vanilla Ice to Air Supply and a lot in between. A lot of them are fading fast now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Summer of '87, a buddy asks me if I wanted to go see The Cult that night since someone else bailed on them. I would have said no, but I liked Electric. I then asked who was opening. The answer "Some band named Guns N Roses" I made fun of them the entire ride to the arena, then Slash came out in a Metal Up Your Ass shirt. I found and bought Appetite the next day 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahaha Everyone is kinda old now, so we're all settled down. The old folks didn't get stupid until he did TNMT Go Turtle Go Turtle Go! Old folks were breaking their hips tryna break dance or do the prep out in the walkways. Hahahaha. Went and saw Train a couple of weeks ago. They were pretty good still. Also still making new music. Got an album gonna drop in Sept. It's been strange this year because every concert I've been to, the performers say it's their first show back in front of a live audience. ZZ Top was gonna be the first one that had already performed in other live shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
