ZZ Top Cancels PNW Dates

Forums:

Well shit.  Was stoked to have tickets to ZZ Top next weekend.  Never seen them before, but people say they put on a killer show.   But just heard that drummer Frank Beard (the dude without the beard) caught pneumonia and they are canceling their four northwest dates on doctor's orders.   Hope he gets better soon.

Cheap Trick was scheduled to open.  Seen them before and was looking forward to that too.   Good live band.

Sorry Ken that sucks. Those are two mighty fine American rock bands I hope you get a chance to see them again. 

And get well Frank

That does suck. I saw them once in '83 in Rochester,  The Eliminator tour. 

It was a great show, they kicked ass, and their laser light show was like camping, it was intense....

I saw them in Long Beach CA back in 1980, fun show.  I liked the neon cacti 

 

Hoping he recovers soon, summer colds can be brutal.  (Heard Willie Nelson canceled shows for a lung ailment)

Saw them a few years ago. It was excellent and their sound system is very impressive, dialed in top notch.

The drummer Frank is a smoker, maybe this will get him to quit. I love zz top and have seen them many times since 1977. I got tix to see them in Syracuse next month. They can be a psychedelic experience, granted a shorter show than back in their heyday. The 94 tour was out of this world.

ZZ was tight as it gets when I first saw them in 1973!
