Moderators dtel Posted July 28, 2021 Moderators Posted July 28, 2021 RIP My wife was never a big fan, untill we went to see them live, completely changed her mind. It is amazing what they can do with only 3 people. 5 Quote
JohnJ Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 Oh Man😢 Rest in Peace Dusty & thank you for "bringing it" to Charlotte for those half dozen times I saw y'all there at the Chrome Dome. To the BIG FANDANGO! & Don't ever think that time in Orlando that we did not love y'all too, but it was Skynyrd's home turf and Billy was cordial enough to acknowledge it. If my mother wags her finger at you up there, it just `cause I was on Yamaha & Klipsch, Jack & lumbo. 1 Quote
CECAA850 Posted July 29, 2021 Posted July 29, 2021 My daughter told me that he passed at dinner. RIP Dusty. Loved your work. 1 Quote
Dave1291 Posted July 29, 2021 Posted July 29, 2021 A Tribute to Dusty Hill I “Just Got Paid Today” and decide to join the “Beer Drinkers & Hell Raisers”. But first I bought me some “Cheap Sunglasses” and a fine Set of threads making me a “Sharp Dressed Man”. I was ” Waitin' for the Bus” but it was late because “Jesus Just Left Chicago” and was bound for New Orleans. So I called my “Manic Mechanic” for a new “Thunderbird” to pick up my girl “Francine” with those “Blue Jean Blues” and a “Pearl Necklace”. “She Loves My Automobile” and is my “Hi Fi Mama” while she “Heard It on the X”. I told her I was “A Fool for Your Stockings” with those “Legs” and Gimme All Your Lovin'” cause “It's Only Love”. But “She's a Heartbreaker” and wouldn’t go. “I Thank You”. I was ”Under Pressure”, and needed some “Tush” and dance that “Tube Snake Boogie”. So I headed to “La Grange” maybe the “Balinese” or Acuna for a “Mexican Blackbird” and a “Backdoor Love Affair”. I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide” and “ Lowdown in the Street” but wouldn’t ya know it, I was “Arrested for Driving While Blind”. Rest in Peace Dusty, thanks for the music. 5 3 Quote
Islander Posted July 29, 2021 Posted July 29, 2021 7 hours ago, TasDom said: Best $14.00 I ever spent..... RIP Dusty I've still got my tickets for the ZZ Top/Cheap Trick concert scheduled for last summer, the one that, along with many others, was cancelled because of COVID. I'll never see Dusty perform now, but it would be pretty heartless to whine about it. After all, I'm still alive. 3 Quote
mustang_flht Posted July 29, 2021 Posted July 29, 2021 RIP man, I saw the ZZ Top here in France in July 1994: brilliant https://memories.eurockeennes.fr/edition/1994/ 1 Quote
rockhound Posted July 29, 2021 Posted July 29, 2021 Damn same age as my Dad. Legend for sure and probably the end of ZZ. He definitely brought the "low" to the "Top". 2 Quote
The Dude Posted July 29, 2021 Posted July 29, 2021 Was fortunate to see ZZ Top live. RIP Dusty Hill. Quote
Moderators dtel Posted July 30, 2021 Moderators Posted July 30, 2021 First time I seen them live was in Tad Gormly stadium in city park, it was an outdoor show. It was the ZZ Tops Fandango tour and Aerosmith's Toys in the attic tour, both put on a great show. The other two bands were lesser known, Fleetwood Mac, and Jeff Beck, Love to see that show again. I remember it mostly, but had to look up the date, July 26 1975 https://www.setlist.fm/venue/tad-gormley-stadium-new-orleans-la-usa-bd6c1ee.html?page=4 5 Quote
