Meanwhile, Gibbons teamed up with Slash and Myles Kennedy for a cover of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s   ‘Simple Man’ with Warren Haynes’ band Gov’t Mule at Haynes’ 2023 Christmas Jam at the weekend. The cover featured vocals from Haynes and Kennedy, along with an extended guitar solo from Slash.

The concert marks the 32nd edition of Haynes’ annual Christmas Jam, and took place at the Exploreasheville.com Arena in Asheville, North Carolina. The charity event raised funds to benefit local non-profits, Asheville Area Habitat For Humanity and BeLoved Asheville.

Besides Slash, Kennedy, Gibbons and Gov’t Mule, the event also featured Jason Bonham on drums, and acts including American Babies and Clutch.

Elsewhere in the concert, Billy Gibbons played a set of ZZ Top songs, including ‘Jesus Just Left Chicago’, ‘Sharp Dressed Man’ and ‘La Grange’.

ZZ Top have announced they’re finally returning to the UK in 2024 after five years.

“It’s been a while since we’ve been able to check in with our European fans, so it goes without saying that we’re excited about coming back this summer,” frontman Billy Gibbons enthused in a press release.

The grand return comes two years after the passing of ZZ Top bassist Dusty Hill, and the show is sure to honour him. “We’re looking forward to a good time,” Gibbons says. “That goes for both those in the audience and on stage.”

The band will be hitting the UK just once to play the OVO Arena Wembley on 11 July, as well as a plethora of European countries in June and July, starting in Sweden before moving to Norway, Denmark, Germany, Austria, France, Switzerland and the Netherlands.

While the group haven’t released a fresh album officially since 2012, ZZ Top have been powerfully revisiting their roots. Their Grammy nominated 2019 documentary, ZZ Top: That Little Ol’ Band from Texas , highlighted the true charm of the band, a heart-warming foray into their history.

Soundtrack RAW saw the group re-recording classic tracks, breathing a breath of fresh life into them. Gibbons noted that the sessions were “a return to [ZZ Top’s] roots.”

“It was just us and the music, no audience of thousands, no concession stands, no parking lot social hour, no phalanx of tour buses,” he reflects. “Just us.”

“The Director suggested we find a way to illustrate the early style from the start of our five-plus decades run,” he continues. “Gruene Hall, the oldest dance hall in Texas, was selected as a fitting backdrop to replicate the look of the band’s very beginnings. When we arrived… we picked up the instruments and commenced an unplanned jam session. Fortunately, our stage engineers were on hand with tape machines in place to capture the performances that went down. That became, in essence, the soundtrack to the film and now it’s also an audio document of ZZ Top’s early beginnings.  Still going strong today.”

Tickets for ZZ Top’s will go on sale on 15 December. For more info, head to the band’s official website .

ZZ Top announce first European tour in five years

"It's been a while since we've been able to check in with our European fans": ZZ Top's 2024 European shows will be their first on the continent with new bassist Elwood Francis

For over 40 years now, ZZ Top have been providing the world with some of the most memorable riffs and beards that Rock and Roll has ever witnessed.

In 1969 the band was formed by Billy Gibbons, a man touted by none other than the great Jimi Hendrix as the next hottest guitarist, in Houston, Texas. After a few line-up changes, Billy eventually bought in Dusty Hill on bass and Frank Beard on Drums (who ironically is the one without the beard). This line-up has remained a constant for their 40 year career which a complete rarity for a band of their caliber.

With the line-up in place, the band set about defining their signature sound, rooted in Gibbons’ uniquely raw guitar tone and the thunderous rhythm section of Hill and Beard. They experienced immediate success and this period spawned anthems like the groovy, ‘La Grange’, a catchy tune that perfectly captures the nature of its inspiration, a Texan brothel.

In 1983 they released Eliminator and shocked critics and fans with a change of direction. They added synthesizers and sequencers to their signature sound and although some fans found it hard to adjust to the change, the album went on to sell over 10 million copies and is seen as a certified classic after it spawned timeless hits like Sharp Dressed Man.

The band have continued to release music and tour and in 2004 they were deservedly inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. For these sharp dressed men, the show just keeps going.

Live reviews

Hirsute Texan blues rockers ZZ Top made a whistle-stop visit to the UK on Wednesday playing a very full looking Wembley Arena. Flanked by a pair of video screens, guitarist Billy Gibbons and bassist Dusty Hill were, true to form, resplendent in matching outfits, hats, sunglasses and foot-long beards. Nestled behind and between Gibbons and Hill sat drummer Frank Beard - still defiantly beardless - and busy driving the boogie juggernaut along.

Dusty Hill once described their show as "low movement, high impact" and that pretty much nails it. There's no gymnastic leaping, histrionics or undue haste in the band's stage presence and the only the merest hint of any choreography as when Hill and Gibbons adopt an occasional slow, Shadows-esque stroll up to the mics or sway away in unison providing crowd pleasing photo opportunities at the edge of the stage. Instead, there's just a slow and deliberate riffing that pulls you into the groove of each song getting the feet stamping and the head shaking.

After a brief video introduction, the band ambled on and opened with a terrific performance of "You've Got Me Under Pressure". The high octane start continued with "Waitin' For The Bus" and "Jesus Just Left Chicago" before the familiar drum intro heralded the arrival of "Gimme All Your Lovin'" and the cue for the crowd to get all hot and bothered. It's hard to believe that it's over thirty years since "Eliminator" brought ZZ Top to the mainstream with their iconic videos for "Gimme All Your Lovin', "Legs" and "Sharp Dressed Man" which MTV seemed to just play on a loop - back when they actually played music videos if you can imagine such a thing.

"I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide" and "Pincushion" reminded us that there's much more to the band than the cluster of hits on "Eliminator", and "I Gotsta Get Paid", the band's reworking of an old rap hit called "25 Lighters" was one of a couple of tracks from their most recent album, 2013's "La Futura". The band paid tribute to Hendrix with a run through of "Foxy Lady" and jammed through another cover, "Catfish Blues". "Cheap Sunglasses" worked the crowd up into a lather before "My Head's in Mississippi", "Chartreuse" and the set closers "Sharp Dressed Man" and "Legs" where the crowd went singalong crazy.

Returning for the encore, the band were joined by a fourth "hombre" in the form of guitar legend Jeff Beck, who, incredibly, was celebrating his seventy-first birthday. After being presented with a cake and accepting a glass of something bubbly the impossibly young looking Beck graced the stage for the final four songs of the evening starting with a gorgeous run through of the ballad-like "Rough Boy" from the "Afterburner" album, a number Billy Gibbons said Beck had told him was one of his favourites. A cover of "Sixteen Tons" was followed by an epic set-closing double whammy of "La Grange" and, of course, "Tush".

Report as inappropriate

“It’s time to party with ZZ Top!” It was only 8:45pm, but I had never seen so many inebriated people over 50 in my life. I literally had to catch a few ladies who almost tumbled into the next row while trying to find their seats in the dark. Men were being denied service at the bar and there were piles of puke to be avoided everywhere. The bearded duo arrived just in time though, blazing a path through the nonsense like they’ve been doing for over forty years. The original blues brothers, Billy Gibbons and Dusty Hill, were the same as they’ve ever been; eternal youth hidden behind hats, beards, and cheap sunglasses. Frank’s pounding kick drum gave EDM shows a run for their money, while Gibbons and Hill burned tracks across the stage.

All the classics were present; “Gimmie All Your Lovin’”, “Got Me Under Pressure”, “Rough Boy”, and “Sharp Dressed Man”, just to name a few. There were some new tracks and a cover or two, but by the time they brought out the fuzzy white guitars for “Legs” (which closed the main set), everyone was amped for more. Returning almost immediately with matching sparkling jackets, they continued with “La Grange”; eventually morphing into the all-too-appropriate “Sloppy Drunk” after some crowd encouragement. “Tush” could have easily been the final spark of the night (a roadie came out to light Gibbon’s joint at that point), but the boys from Texas weren’t done with us yet. The second encore was a victory lap of sorts. It was also the soundtrack to a mass exodus from the venue, causing “Jailhouse Rock” to be heard by many as an echo off the rocks on the way to the parking lots. The whole thing ended just after 10:00pm.

It is unfortunate that the Laid Back Festival had to turn to Groupon and take other price-reducing actions, because it really was a great festival. The food was nothing to celebrate, and the lack of information about the order of appearances and set times was annoying, but overall Gregg Allman curated an amazing day/night of music across a spectrum of genres. Where else are you going to see five Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees share a stage on a Sunday at such an amazing venue? Hopefully next year they will be able to work out some of the kinks and Gregg will be healthy and strong. Aside from that, I’d say the first year of Laid Back in Colorado was a great success in terms of execution, even if it was a financial failure.

ZZ Top, the legendary American blues rock group with even more legendary beards are known for putting on an impressive live show despite their increasing age. Having formed over forty years ago, the band has accumulated a huge discography and a fan base to match.

The audience packs the venue and excitedly chatter about the prospect of seeing ZZ Top play live. The range of ages is a credit to the band as they have dedicated fans who have followed their career from the beginning and new listeners who appreciate the band's influence on blues rock.

The band proves their reputation and influence is duly deserved as they tear into the opener 'Got Me Under Pressure' with the energy of a band thirty years their junior. Their technical skill is applaudable, admirable and frankly out of this world as they never seem to miss a single note through the complexity of tracks such as 'Pincushion' and 'Chartreuse'. A class act with an immeasurable amount of technical ability and masterful musicians.

This is only the second time I had seen ZZ Top. The other time was in December of 1985 at Maple Leaf Gardens. Seeing them in the Centre in the Square was much better more intimate. You could hear them much better and they were not ten miles away. They walked out with no fan fare and started playing. The old songs of when we were young. The stage was a basic set up. Most of the fans there were 40 plus. Lots of men had the ZZ like beards that they certainly did not start growing last week. The music was not too loud, just right. They played all their hits. The songs from the Eliminator album brought out the biggest response. Many of the younger kids were dancing down near the front stage. Nice atmosphere. Only a few bone heads getting noisy in the crowd. So nice to see these guys again, as they're not getting any younger. No regrets.

ZZ Top performance was amazing.

The venue had some issues. The sound was very imbalanced in the beginning, almost could not hear Billy Gibons voice.

There was some trouble with the crowd too. Some people were fighting over standing versus sitting (it's a rock concert not the symphony, get up and dance I say!). In my opinion the usher was a bit too harsh on the dancing people. He was very rude to the ladies dancing and another guy ( just attending the show) even grabbed the arm of one of them. At that point it was way over the line. The people complaining about the non sitting attendees were very inappropriate (even got in my face), but nothing happened to them.

I am not sure about the finer details, but I do not believe the ushers were well trained in de-escalating conflict.

I've seen ZZ Top in small venues that weren't even sold out and I've seen them at sold out stadiums - they always put on a great show.

They are back to their original format of just Billy, Dusty and Frank on stage (without the women with the long legs) playing all of their old great songs.

I find them best in the smaller venues - Brixton Academy (second time) was outstanding. Milton Keynes Bowl with Bryan Adams as support (the night he went to number one in the UK charts) was memorable for songs that are no longer played (but can be found on YouTube).

I've now taken my son to see them 7 times all across Europe as the UK dates are few and far between now. Even got a personal message from Dusty on my 50th. Have mercy!

Ok.. was I the only one there? I was... started with some wild winds blowing down the river.. I'll never forget.. beards blowing.. hair.. wow!

They played on.. winds het wicked lightning striks straight down.. Man comes out on stage. Tried to tell them storms brewing down that Mississippi River..

But no.. they played.. here for the people.. as we were for them........... I could go on forever.. anyone have a video of this crazy night.. 7 tornadoes comming down that river..

Or anyone know where to get one..

Was telling my daughter about that night.. as I was 4 months carrying her.. kind of like her to see it... #thegirlisawesome

On Tuesday June 6 ZZ Top played Artpark in Lewiston, NY. The weather on that day was drizzling and cold, this did not stop fans from filling the venue. Fans that braved the conditions where not disappointed. Billy Gibbons and the boys played all their greatest hits with all the vigor of a large stadium show.

If ZZ Top is playing in your area, go see these three legends. ZZ Top has been doing it for almost 50 years and hasn't lost a step.

Disappointing! After spending $340 each for VIP tix (not even front row/meet and greet) the show only lasted 1 hour and 15 minutes, probably the shortest concert I have ever attended. The guys seemed a little tired and bored, which is understandable after 50 years together or possibly because they just flew in from England. The sound system wasn't the best either, way too much bass overriding their vocals.

Well, they did not disappoint. After the warm-up act, Tim Montana (who, by the way, fit right in and was worth seeing), ZZ Top came out and were very loud, played all their hits, and were well worth the price of admission. Billy Gibbons even called out our fair city Cheyenne on more than one occasion. They were very entertaining and sounded great after all these years. Great time.

Lynyrd Skynyrd and ZZ Top Announce 2024 Tour Dates

Lynyrd Skynyrd and ZZ Top will continue their successful Sharp Dressed Simple Man tour with additional dates beginning in March 2024.

The classic rock titans will start a 36-show run March 8 in Savannah, Ga. The trek is currently set to wrap in Ridgefield, Wash. on Sept. 22. Tickets go on sale Friday in most markets with an artist presale beginning on Tuesday.

ZZ Top and Lynyrd Skynyrd have toured together extensively in the past, including a lengthy string of dates in 1999 and 2000. Both bands relished the chance to hit the road together again earlier this year. "It was kind of a rekindling of kindred spirits,” Billy Gibbons told UCR in July as the tour kicked off. “It’s a little known fact that ZZ Top gave Lynyrd Skynyrd one of their first official paying gigs, way, way back in the day."

Lynyrd Skynyrd, ZZ Top Plot 2024 Tour with Black Stone Cherry, The Outlaws

The two legendary acts are continuing their Sharp Dressed Simple Man Tour next spring

After a successful campaign this summer, Lynyrd Skynyrd and ZZ Top are continuing their Sharp Dressed Simple Man Tour next year. The run kicks off on March 8 at Enmarket Arena in Savannah, Georgia and wraps up on September 22 at the RV Inn Style Resorts Amphitheater in Ridgefield, Washington. Very special guests for the trek will be Black Stone Cherry and The Outlaws.

“Skynyrd Nation! We heard ya,” Lynyrd Skynyrd said in a statement. “We’re bringing the Sharp Dressed Simple Man Tour with ZZ Top to a city near you in 2024! We can’t wait to celebrate 50 Years of Skynyrd with you!”

“ZZ Top and Lynyrd Skynyrd are back at it in 2024,” ZZ Top added.

“We are beyond excited and honored to be a part of such an iconic tour joining ZZ Top and Lynyrd Skynyrd,” Black Stone Cherry said. “For us to have been asked by two bands that we hold as major influences is something we don’t take lightly and we will be bringing our A-Game (as always) as we hit some great cities with these two rock ‘n’ roll giants.”

Lynyrd Skynyrd guitarist Gary Rossington  passed away   on March 5. Rossington was the last original member of the band that was still touring. He was 71 years old. Rossington had a significant presence and creative influence with the band up until his death, making select appearances on the road over the years. Lynyrd Skynyrd’s current touring line-up featuring Johnny Van Zant, Rickey Medlocke, Mark “Sparky” Matejka, Michael Cartellone, Keith Christopher, Peter Keys, Carol Chase and Stacy Michelle.

“We’re still standing, still keeping the music going,” Gary Rossington said back when the first leg of the tour was announced. “We wanted to do the guys who aren’t with us any more proud, and keep the name proud, too.”

Over the summer, Lynyrd Skynyrd have revealed the video of Gary Rossington’s final performance of “Gimme Three Steps” with the band. The clip is from the band’s show on November 13, 2022 at the legendary Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. It was their final performance with Rossington.

ZZ Top have been rocking strong together for five decades. The band formed in Houston, TX in 1969 and released their debut album in 1971. To date, the band has released 15 studio albums that have produced countless hit rock anthems.

From 1983-1990, ZZ Top enjoyed their greatest commercial success, infusing elements of new wave, punk, and synth-pop into their bluesy riff-rock. The band released three albums in this span –  Eliminator, Afterburner , and  Recycler  – all of which debuted in the Top 10 on the Billboard Top 200.

The band’s music videos for “Legs”, “Rough Boy”, and“Sharp Dressed Man” all garnered MTV Video Music Awards for the band. With 13 multi-platinum albums, and 1 diamond album, ZZ Top have sold over 25 million albums sold in the U.S. alone. The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004.

In 2021, founding bassist Dusty Hill passed away at the age of 72.

Black Stone Cherry released their latest LP Screamin’ At the Sky on September 29 through Mascot Label Group. The record is anchored by the lead single, “Nervous.” The album is available on CD, vinyl, and digital download. A limited edition blue vinyl box set is also available, which includes a poster, record slipcover, black and white lithograph, and autographed band member cards.

Lynyrd Skynyrd and ZZ Top Kick Off 2024 Tour with Powerful Setlist

via AIE TUBE / YouTube

Lynyrd Skynyrd and ZZ Top recently launched the second leg of their highly anticipated co-headlining Sharp Dressed Simple Man tour. The tour took off in style at Savannah, Georgia’s Enmarket Arena, where both bands delivered exhilarating performances. Fans were treated to an impressive lineup of classic hits, and the energy in the arena was electric.

Rocking Through the Skynyrd Legacy

Lynyrd Skynyrd, known for their Southern rock sound, showcased a 15-song set that took fans on a journey through their iconic albums, including (Pronounced ‘Leh-‘nerd ‘Skin-‘nerd), Second Helping, and Street Survivors. The band wasted no time, opening their set with the rousing “Workin’ for MCA” and “Skynyrd Nation.” They then proceeded to thrill the crowd with beloved hits such as “What’s Your Name,” “That Smell,” “Tuesday’s Gone,” and “Simple Man.” The performance reached its climax with the immortal one-two punch of “Sweet Home Alabama” and “Free Bird.”

According to the band, their setlist is a tribute to their legacy and the songs that have resonated with their fans throughout the years. Lead guitarist Rickey Medlocke spoke about their emotional connection to the music, saying, “We do a tribute every night to Gary, to the song ‘Tuesday’s Gone,’ and I can’t even look at the video.” This heartfelt homage serves as a reminder of the late guitarist Gary Rossington’s impact on Lynyrd Skynyrd’s music.

ZZ Top’s Unforgettable Performance

ZZ Top, the blues-infused rock icons, delivered a powerhouse performance of their own. Their 16-song setlist showcased their trademark hits from the albums Eliminator and Tres Hombres, igniting nostalgia among their fans. The crowd couldn’t help but groove to the infectious beats of “Gimme All Your Lovin’,” “Got Me Under Pressure,” and “Sharp Dressed Man.” Classic tracks like “Jesus Just Left Chicago” and “Waitin’ for the Bus” transported the audience to the heyday of ZZ Top’s career. The set concluded with a thrilling rendition of their renowned hit “La Grange.”

In addition to their own hits, ZZ Top included a few surprises in their setlist. They delighted the crowd with covers of Sam & Dave’s “I Thank You” and Merle Travis’ “Sixteen Tons.” These unexpected choices showcased the band’s versatility and ability to put their unique spin on beloved classics.

The co-headlining tour, titled the Sharp Dressed Simple Man tour, commenced last July, with this leg consisting of 36 shows spanning from Savannah to Ridgefield, Washington in September. Both Lynyrd Skynyrd and ZZ Top have faced significant hardships in recent years. ZZ Top mourned the loss of their bassist and vocalist Dusty Hill in 2021, with the band’s longtime guitar tech Elwood Francis stepping in to carry on the legacy. Meanwhile, Lynyrd Skynyrd bid farewell to their last original member, guitarist Gary Rossington, in 2023. Despite these challenges, both bands have persevered and continue to captivate audiences with their unwavering dedication to their music.

Looking ahead, fans can anticipate an “all-star Skynyrd record” featuring Rossington, as teased by guitarist Rickey Medlocke. The album aims to pay homage to the band’s legacy while embracing new opportunities. With the tour in full swing and the promise of exciting future projects, Lynyrd Skynyrd and ZZ Top are ensuring that their music lives on and continues to resonate with generations of fans.
