ZZ Top at the Oil Palace

Recommended Posts

I gotta catch this one - this one will make my 20th ZZ Top concert and they never disappoint. However – they were a little weak with the “gentlemen start your engines” call at the fall TMS race this past November.

 

Fandango and Tres Hombres were my favorite High School years ZZ Top albums - with Degüello being my all-time favorite ZZ Top album [not including box sets].

Swaeeeettt! See if I can't drag hubby....second thought... I think I'll take the boys! Even more fun!

 

Update - well, told hubby about it - he wants to go, and asked young'un - he definitely wants to go, but he said, Mom, will you promise not to sing along, though? LOL! I have no idea what he's talking about, but hubby and him both were laughing... I told him it wouldn't matter, even if he was standing right beside me he wouldn't be able to hear me...young'un's never been to a rock concert.......LOL!

Word on the street is that .38 Special will open (still checking on that)

 

According to the email, Jonathan Tyler & the Northern Lights will be opening the show. However, their website has them doing a show in College Station on the same night. I would prefer .38 Special myself.

Jonathan Tyler + Northern Lights is a solid band..........but I would prefer .38 Special, as well.

 

Good number of original members still with them: Don Barnes, Larry Junstrom & Donnie Van Zant

 

 

If its .38 Special then I will buy tickets.

I was too far away to take any quality photos of ZZ Top with my antiquated cell phone camera, but I did get some decent shots of opening band Jonathan Tyler And The Northern Lights – as they mingled with fans and sold their wares after their set:

I always want to hear "Sure Got Cold After the Rain Fell" but they never play it. They did send out ballots via e-mail with a list to vote on - Heard It On The X wasn't on the list tho'.

 

I would have enjoyed a Balinese/Mexican Blackbird/Heard It On the X/Tush encore!!!!

 

Cheapy, you weren't the person who threw the hat and hit Billy were you? Wildcat_20 was that you?

 

I was only disappointed that the "dancing girls" were not live on stage like they used to be!
