I was at that show too. Still, to my friend's protest, I thought the BC put on a better show. They were soon kicked off the tour for some un-PC anti-commercial criticism.

Nonetheless, ZZ is one of America's best, something the BC will never be in the same regard.

Yes, after Eliminator, Recycler was a bit of a let down.

If y'all haven't seen their documentary, take a couple hours one rainy Saturday and put it on. It's on Netflix...might be able to catch it elsewhere. It's called "That little ol' band from Texas." You won't be disappointed.

Sad news for sure.

Agreed.

Typical for a 1960-70s band who had a breakthrough album in the 1980s, I think. Yes had a similar thing with 90210 or whatever it's called.

I wouldn't say they're in my Top 10, but when the news popped up on my phone, I yelled "What?" and my wife rushed to the room. Truly sad that ZZ is no more.

Great show this was!!!.. the stage was set up like a junk yard, Frank Beard was on top of a flat bed trailer drumming. Dusty and Billy were in front jamming away all of a sudden a big clamshell bucket comes overhead and scoops them up and dumps them in a crusher... the whole stage goes dark .. a couple minutes later the door opens on the crusher and they each come out in a little crushed car rolling across the stage jamming away.. for the song " Legs " there was a bunch of girls on the trailer swinging their legs back and forth.. awesome production!!

If you are a fan of the band pick up this book ... gives a history of the band and Billys cars

Sad news for sure. My son and I were getting tickets for the show here in Abilene. With the tech filling in, it may still happen. Dusty had been out recently with the tech playing some already. I think he had a hip replacement. This is going to keep happening as well. I’ve lost three friends in the last nine months. I just finish a car for a buddy. I spent lots of time building the complete power train. He passed about two months after he picked up the car. Sad deal.
