ZZ Top (a.k.a. Billy Gibbons and Company) Plays The Blues RIGHT

September 27th, 2007

John and a good bud saw ZZ Top at the Beacon Theatre right here in New York City, amazing show. It was the first time I have ever seen them and I was blown away. Thankfully they limited their use of the more commercialized and overplayed songs (imho) such as Legs and Sharp Dressed man, and we got an amazing display from one of the best blues guitar players I have ever seen--Billy Gibbons. His fretwork absolutely jammed, with incredible tone and flair, particularly on songs such as "Just Got Paid," "Jesus Just Left Chicago," "Waiting for the Bus," and "LaGrange." Here are a couple of pics from the show:
If you get a chance to see them I would absolutely not pass it up. Check out the very positive review of the Buffalo show on September 20th Buffalo show here.
