RIP Dusty. His group from 1968. My favorite song from the album.

I am very sad and shocked to hear about this. I grew up listening to the early ZZ records. I liked Eliminator a lot too. I was just listening to their greatest hits album Rancho Texicano in the car today. Another legend and a big part of my youth and musical heritage is gone. Just can't believe it.

RIP Dusty Hill. You will be missed.

I was at the afterburner tour back in 85 or 86. Great concert.

Seen them in 1992 at the Spectrum in Philadelphia. George Thorogood opened up for them. RIP Dusty...

Saw that concert also. Good times. RIP Dusty

With ZZ Top being one of my favorite bands, I always told my wife and kids that seeing them in concert was on my bucket list. My daughter surprised me got me tickets to see them at the Pinwood Bowl in Lincoln, Nebraska a few years ago. Now getting tickets at Pinewood Bowl is risky because it's an outdoor concert and the show goes on...no matter what. The concert was in August and anything can happen in Nebraska in August, including rain or temperatures in the triple digits. It just so happened that weather was in the lower 80s, no wind and it was perfect.
She was logged into Ticketmaster the very second they started selling tickets. If you look close at the ticket, you will see she got me a seat in row 1. All I got to say is that the concert was awesome!

They were awesome in Back To The Future Part 3. ZZ Top is Al's the longest running American band without changing musicians.

I had wondered if they had been together the longest at 50+ years. Photo is from 1970.

Video is a bit corny( it was the 80's) with cool shots of all three, good song though.

My Daughter sent a text to me asking if I had seen that Dusty Hill had died. When I read it, I was floored. They were set to play in Little Rock on August 3rd
RIP Dusty Hill.

Long before rap … Dusty dusted off many a woofer/subwoofer

 

[Zaedock]

RIP Dusty. Seen them a few times over the years, the last of which was with both of my brothers right before my older brother passed. It was an awesome and memorable show.

No words, just sadness.

R.I.P., Dusty Hill. You will be missed.
Hope you are heading to that Big Home out on "La Grange."

RIP

I had Tres Hombres on 8 track... wore the tape out riding around in the Dodge...

Saw them most recently on their 50th Anniversary tour in Tallahassee, 2019 (not my video)

It was a life changing event, the day I went to the record store and purchased Tres Hombres. Note for note, one of the greatest ever rock albums.
