Have faith... They did 2 dates at the Beacon last September. Am sure they will be back. Saw them one of those nights and they were great. Billy G has massive tone.

For that much you should ask what side of the stage you should stand on and what amp will you be using.

Got to take in account the inflation Blues Power. The seventies are almost 30 years ago.

I saw them at the Hearnes Multipurpose Building at Mizzou in 1977 for about $4.50.
I bought tickets for their last show at the Kiel Center in St. Louis for about a hundred bucks each. It was the best show I ever saw, and I would pay it again.
I have tickets for the Fox Theatre show at much less than that.
I have seen ZZ Top about 18 times now, and I will pay whatever it costs to see them every time they come to St. Louis.

Re: ZZtop

I wish we'd get bands like that way up here in Timmins....Shania Twain is from here and won't even come here.....I'm glad Shania doesn't come home I can't stand "her" "music"....all she's good for is looking at......

I wish ZZ Top, Johnny Winter or some other big act would come up......

Enjoy the show you lucky prick.....lol...sorry I'm just envious as hell

Re: ZZtop

Im ashamed to say I just started really getting into ZZ Top. I knew em from their 80s hits when I was in school, but never really paid attention. Come to find out recently that the good Reverend is the architect of some of the greatest stripper anthems around (La Grange and Tush) Those are now iPod staples for me. Im hoping I can get my band on board with learning to play them. This band thing is a little like herding cats...

As far as pricey tickets go... I paid about $100 per to go see Prince before moving to Japan for the Musicology tour. I just paid about $90 per to see Lenny Kravitz in September in Tokyo Budokan.

I dont know if Id pay that much to see the Rev. until after I learned to play at LEAST La Grange...

Re: ZZtop

But Skynyrd isn't really Skynyrd anymore. ZZ Top is still ZZ Top.

In '76 or '77 I paid $6.75 to see Aerosmith with some backup band from Australia. Bon Scott was the singer and they BLEW Aerosmith away. Most of Aerosmith's show was the audience chanting "AC....DC".
6 bucks....man, those were the days !...had great seats to boot.

Re: ZZtop

I remember the last Zeppelin tour I saw was in 77 I believe, those years are a little fuzzy. But I do remember the ticket price was $7.00 and the event was "An Evening with Led Zeppelin" no opening band, just 3 hours of Zeppelin at LSU. Saw them twice there in the mid 70's same venue, same format, just Zeppelin.

Regarding ZZ Top, I've seen them so many times I can't count. Between New Orleans and Dallas, probably 10-12 times over the years. I actually caught them with Skynyrd here in Dallas a few years ago. I was fortunate enough to see Skynyrd a few times before the plane crash too, damn I miss those guys.

The first time I saw ZZ Top in concert was back in later 74 or early 75 at the Warehouse in New Orleans. That show became Fandango live and the opening act was none other than Robin Trower. I think it was $4.00 to get in or a square yard or more of carpet to get in. Seriously, back then the Warehouse was a wild place, it was literally an empty warehouse downtown right off the river, EVERYONE WAS STONED. Some shows they'd let you in free is you brought some scrap carpet to sit on and left it. There were no chairs, just standing room pretty much, those were some weird times back then but damn some good music.
