They are worth seeing again. They don't play much of their 90's music, it's mostly the good earlier stuff and they are tighter than ever. It's worth the price of admission.

They came through here last year with the Stray Cats and the Pretenders. The tix said "7:30" but the show actually started at 7:00 and we missed the Stray Cats. I am still devastated over that and so is my wife and our friends. None the less the Pretenders and ZZ Top kicked A$$.....I'm not even a Pretenders fan but they were exceptional.
