Sharing the bill with Ted Nugent and Kenny Wayne Shepherd, the show blended their bluesy Texas boogie with 1980s MTV hits and newer material, showcasing Gibbons' signature guitar tone and the band's tight, crowd-pleasing energy in a summer outdoor setting typical of their mid-2000s resurgence. ZZ Top, the blues-based American kick-ass rock band from Houston, Texas, formed in 1969 after the breakup of Billy Gibbons’ earlier group Moving Sidewalks. For 51 years the core trio was vocalist-guitarist Billy Gibbons, drummer Frank Beard, and vocalist-bassist Dusty Hill (until Hill’s death in 2021, after which longtime guitar tech Elwood Francis took over bass per Dusty’s wishes). Famous for Gibbons’ gritty blues style, the rock-solid Hill/Beard rhythm section, sly humorous lyrics, and the identical sunglasses, hats, and chest-length beards worn by Gibbons and Hill, they became one of the most recognizable acts in rock. After signing to London Records, they released ZZ Top’s First Album (1971), followed by classics like Tres Hombres (1973) with “La Grange” and Fandango! (1975) with “Tush,” and earned a reputation for explosive live shows, culminating in the massive Worldwide Texas Tour (1976–1977). Following a brief hiatus, they returned in 1979 with Degüello and a revamped image, then exploded worldwide with the synthesizer-laced, MTV-fueled blockbuster albums Eliminator (1983) and Afterburner (1985)—featuring era-defining videos for “Gimme All Your Lovin’,” “Sharp Dressed Man,” and “Legs”—and the record-setting 1986 Afterburner tour. They continued releasing albums through Recycler (1990), Antenna (1994), Rhythmeen (1996), XXX (1999), Mescalero (2003), La Futura (2012), and the 50th-anniversary compilation Goin’ 50 (2019). By Hill’s passing in 2021, ZZ Top had become the longest-running unchanged-lineup band in popular-music history, sold an estimated 50 million albums, won three MTV VMAs, and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004, all while staying true to their Texas-boogie roots and supporting causes like St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and the Delta Blues Museum.

ZZ Top - I Thank You (Live in Michigan 1980) Soundboard Billy Gibbons Frank Beard Dusty Hill ZZ Top is an Blues based American kick ass rock band formed in 1969 in Houston, Texas. For 51 years, it was composed of vocalist-guitarist Billy Gibbons, drummer Frank Beard and vocalist-bassist Dusty Hill, until Hill's death in 2021. ZZ Top developed a signature sound based on Gibbons' blues guitar style and Hill and Beard's rhythm section. They are popular for their live performances, sly and humorous lyrics, and the matching appearances of Gibbons and Hill, who wore sunglasses, hats and long beards. ZZ Top formed after the demise of Moving Sidewalks, Gibbons' previous band, in 1969. Within a year, they signed with London Records and released ZZ Top's First Album (1971). Subsequent releases, such as Tres Hombres (1973) and Fandango! (1975), and the singles La Grange and Tush, gained extensive radio airplay. By the mid-1970s, ZZ Top had become renowned in North America for its live act, including the Worldwide Texas Tour (1976–1977), which was a critical and commercial success. After a hiatus, ZZ Top returned in 1979 with a new musical direction and image, with Gibbons and Hill wearing sunglasses and matching chest-length beards. With the album El Loco (1981), they began to experiment with synthesizers and drum machines. They established a more mainstream sound and gained international success with Eliminator (1983) and Afterburner (1985), which integrated influences from new wave, punk, and dance-rock. The popularity of these albums' music videos, including those for Gimme All Your Lovin', Sharp Dressed Man, and Legs, gave them mass exposure on television channel MTV and made them prominent artists in 1980s pop culture. The Afterburner tour set records for the highest-attended and highest-grossing concert tour of 1986. After gaining additional acclaim with the release of their tenth album Recycler (1990), and its accompanying tour, the group's experimentation continued with mixed success on the albums Antenna (1994), Rhythmeen (1996), XXX (1999), and Mescalero (2003). They most recently released La Futura (2012) and Goin' 50 (2019), a compilation album commemorating the band's 50th anniversary. By the time of Hill's death in 2021, ZZ Top had become the longest-running band with an unchanged lineup in the history of popular music. Per Hill's wishes, he was replaced by their longtime guitar tech Elwood Francis on bass. ZZ Top has released 15 studio albums and sold an estimated 50 million albums worldwide. They have won three MTV Video Music Awards, and in 2004, the members were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In 2015, Rolling Stone ranked Gibbons the 32nd greatest guitarist of all time (Who gives a shit what rolling stone magazine thinks) nice recognition anyway. The band members have supported campaigns and charities including Childline, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, and a fundraiser for the Delta Blues Museum.

By the time of Hill's death in 2021, ZZ Top had become the longest-running band with an unchanged lineup in the history of popular music. Per Hill's wishes, he was replaced by their longtime guitar tech Elwood Francis on bass. ZZ Top has released 15 studio albums and sold an estimated 50 million albums worldwide. They have won three MTV Video Music Awards, and in 2004, the members were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In 2015, Rolling Stone ranked Gibbons the 32nd greatest guitarist of all time (Who gives a shit what rolling stone magazine thinks) nice recognition anyway. The band members have supported campaigns and charities including Childline, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, and a fundraiser for the Delta Blues Museum.
