ZZ TOP TOUR DATES

UPDATED 8/17/21 & 10/17/21

 

Hi all! 

 

Greetings again!  Welcome to the annual updated ZZ Top tour date listing.  I first published this list in 2003.

At that time, I had 20 pages of dates, with only two dates before 1971.  For a fair comparison of our progress, we now have 108 pages of dates from 2021 and earlier, with a full 18 pages of dates before 1971 including ZZ Top, the Moving Sidewalks, and a few other early bands.  In total there are 108 pages of dates, offering the most complete and well documented resource for ZZ Top tour dates available to the public on or off the internet!  Thanks as always to Bert Gangl for his tireless efforts and efficient research! You can also find his research around the web for several other bands.  Try a search on - "Bert Gangl" tour – to see how many other sites he has helped with his diligent efforts.  You can send him updates at HubieGnospam@MSN.com. Please be sure to delete the phrase “nospam” from that address before sending.

 

Right up front we need to note the passing of Joe Michael "Dusty" Hill (May 19, 1949 – July 28, 2021). Dusty joined the band in late January or early February of 1970, and was the rock holding down the bottom end of the endless power trio tour.  His efforts brought a lot of joy to a lot of people.  May he rest in peace!

 

This is the 18th version of collected ZZ Top and Moving Sidewalks dates. All additions or corrections which are new since the last list appear in red.

 

Why is this list important?  Firstly, ZZ Top have always promoted themselves as “The People’s Band.”  Indeed, this list goes a long way to demonstrate the lengths to which they have gone to secure this title. They have played in many out-of-the-way markets that other artists of their stature have ignored. And this continued after they became mega-stars, not just in the early days. Secondly, these dates represent the times when this band brought people together – sometimes just to party, some on their first date – whatever it was, bringing people together with music. You are probably reading this because some of your own personal history is in this list. This page is designed to be a way to help us remember these times and place them properly in our own history. I hope it brings you some enjoyment!

 

Many of you have made contributions to this list since I first published it, not least the Little Old Web Page from Texas, where I pulled tons of raw data that continues to be verified. I would like to thank those individuals who have contributed to the list since the first publication. Many have added valuable information to this list, and most are noted next to the date that their contributions helped to verify (when they don't ask me to omit their names!).

 

I’d like to put in a specific plug for the Look at Stubs website, which is a repository of scanned STUBs, found at: www.lookatSTUBs.com/bands/zz_top.htm. It is free to look at the dates and places. To see the actual stubs, you need to either contribute ticket scans or pay a small fee. Ticket STUBs are one of the best verifications of a show, and I urge you all to dig out your old STUBs and submit them to the website.

 

Thanks to Greg Deeter, who keeps tabs on archival ZZ Top live recordings.

 

A special word of gratitude also goes out to our friend, Joel Kolsrud, from Iowa who has long contributed to our archive and whose assistance this time around was especially helpful. Thanks, Joel!

 

I’d also like to make a specific plug for Pollstar. They are a subscription only service, but they offer extra detail that cannot be found on this page, such as the number of seats sold, the percentage of seats sold, the ticket prices and the income for the show. Their information has been very helpful in clarifying dates; however, a caveat is that they tend to defer to the current name of the venue, not the name at the time the concert was played.

 

It is important to note that many of the dates listed MAY BE WRONG. My experience is that a published date is not verification of a performance. I have included these listings as a basis of research. The best verification is a display ad or text listing in a local newspaper or entertainment weekly. Even better is a review of a show that has occurred. So please use this list as a starting point and consider it the best info available to date. If you see a date that you think is wrong, please help us to correct it.

 

If you have any updates or corrections, please email them to Bert at HubieGnospam@MSN.com. Please be sure to delete the phrase “nospam” from that address. Also, please include the documentation you have for the date:  STUB, newspaper copy, etc. If you can scan or digitally photograph your evidence and mail or email it to me, this is helpful!  Also, please let me know if you want me to use your name behind the listing. If any of you see an incomplete listing for your city, feel free to go to the library and try to verify a date in the local newspaper. I usually look for "Weekend" listings (which can appear in Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday editions of the local paper), or sometimes the Sunday paper will have expanded entertainment listings.

 

Please allow time for submitted updates to be incorporated in the page!  Last time it took 3 years, but it will get done. And if it takes a few days or weeks for Bert to respond to an email, please forgive him!  Thanks!

The following format will be used throughout this document for show lineups:

[Savoy Brown/Wishbone Ash/BOC/ZZ Top] = [opener /2nd act/ just before headliner/Headliner]

[Brackets indicate the lineup in the correct order is known]

(Parenthesis around band names indicate the order of appearance is uncertain)

 

Also, concerning venue names, I have tried to list the correct name of the venue at the time the concert took place. All the corporate renaming of venues can make this a trick, but Wikipedia has been very helpful in guiding these name choices, even though their own tour date listing does not always agree with the correct venue name at the time of the listed date!

1949

12/16/49         William F. Gibbons born (WIKI)

 

1960s

 

Dusty And Frank Bands

 

07/xx/63          Jane Garvin's house, Como, TX (from ZZS):

                                   

“Actually, it was the summer of 1963. Two guys named Dusty Hill and Rocky Hill played at a party at Jane Garvin's house in Como, Texas. Jane threw the party for me because I was stuck at my Great Aunt's house for the summer. If I remember correctly, Jane said these guys were her cousins. They played "Chantilly Lace" and "Summertime" among others. It was the first live music (outside of church and Jane's piano boogie) I had ever heard, and I was blown away. Dusty, if you are one and the same, I'd really like to know. If not for the diligence of my Aunt, you would have been my first. Even if you're not THE Dusty Hill, you guys rock & I'll love you forever!! Betsy” (www.billnarum.com/z-2-z/page223.htm)

 

xx/xx/64          Dusty Hill was in at least two bands with his brother Rocky in Dallas: The Starliners & The Deadbeats. (DMN, ZZH2)

           

xx/xx/64          Frank Beard was in at least two bands in Fort Worth: The Cellar Dwellers & The Hustlers. (ZZH2)

 

9/18/64 or 8/19/65     Dusty Hill plays a local gig in Dallas, thereby missing a Beatles concert in Dallas '64 or Houston '65. (per BUDDY interview 12/75)

 

xx/xx/65          Rocky and Dusty Hill form The Warlocks with 'Little Richard’ Harris, and later draft Frank Beard. Some gigs were played at The Amber Room in Dallas. (DMN, ZZH2, GHO)

 

The Warlocks were:

Rocky Hill:                        Guitar

Dusty Hill:                        Bass

“Little Richard” Harris:    Drums (earlier)

Frank Beard:                    Drums (later)

 

Mary Smith:                     Vocals (when appearing as Lady Wilde and the Warlocks)

 

Rocky and Dusty Hill’s first musical venture was at Woodrow Wilson High School in Dallas, together with drummer "Little" Richard Harris. Frank Beard came across Dusty and Rocky while playing for The Cellar Dwellers at the Fort Worth Cellar. The three of them, basing themselves in Dallas, Texas formed The Warlocks dying their hair blue…. Later in their brief career they teamed up with English singer Lady Wilde and backed her regularly at Dallas cinemas for British invasion movies like 'Catch Us If You Can' and 'Hard Day's Night'. They also backed her on their final 45 and when she departed for a career on the stage, they formed the American Blues. (R6070)

 

05/xx/65          Lou Ann's Club, Dallas, TX (WWA) [The Chessmen/Lady Wilde and the Warlocks]

In May of 1965, {The Allusions} played a gig at Lou Ann's Club in Dallas. We played on the big stage with The Five Americans, friends of ours from Durant, Oklahoma. They had just recorded "I See the Light," with Dale Hawkins producing. On the little stage there was a band called The Chessmen, playing with a 15-year-old guitar player named Jimmy Vaughn. They were splitting sets with a band called Lady Wilde and the Warlocks, who had a bassist named Dusty Hill. Dusty's brother Rocky played lead guitar, and they had a drummer named Little Richard Harris who twirled his sticks. Our drummer Garland was fascinated by this and studied him all night. All the way back to Ardmore, Garland practiced twirling his sticks. He turned into a great showman, as well as a great drummer.

 

xx/xx/65          The Cellar strip club, Fort Worth, TX

"Mr. Beard... was landing gigs at the Cellar, the infamous underground strip club-juke joint in Cowtown that later opened a branch in Dallas. Mr. Hill was making the rounds, too. "One night, I was playing the Cellar with one group and Frank was playing with another," Mr. Hill says. "My brother Rocky saw Frank and says, 'Let's try to steal that drummer for our group.' "The coup was successful, and in 1966, the Hill brothers joined forces with Mr. Beard in a series of Dallas bands, including American Blues – a psychedelic act with a one-of-a-kind shtick: The band members dyed their hair bright blue." (DMN)

 

08/26/66         Dallas Memorial Auditorium, Dallas, TX

The Warlocks and over 20 other groups play the finals of the Starfinder ’66 teen talent search competition, co-sponsored by American Airlines and Vox guitars and amplifiers. (DMN)

 

xx/xx/67          Dusty and Frank change The Warlocks band name to The American Blues, in honor of their blue hair. (ZZH2)

 

The American Blues were:

 

Rocky Hill:                   Guitar (Dusty’s brother)

Dusty Hill:                    Bass

Doug Davis:                 Piano on "Mellow"

Richard Harris:                        Drums

Frank Beard:               Drums

 

04/01/67         The attendees at this night’s charity ball at the new Hilton Inn in Dallas would be greeted as they entered the building by the sounds of The American Blues, whose members, according to the Dallas Morning News, would be decked out in “blue suits, blue shoes, blue shirts and ties and shoulder-length blue hair.” (DMN)

 

02/09/68         The American Blues and the psychedelic rock group Southwest F.O.B. played this evening at Autorama, the custom car and hot rod show held at the Women’s Building at Fair Park in Dallas. The latter group featured Dan Seals and John Coley, who would go on to form the hit-making ‘70s soft rock duo, England Dan & John Ford Coley. (DMN)

 

05/13/68         KLIF disc jockeys Charlie Van Dyke and Jimmy decide it’s time for “A Tribute to Heavy Music,” so they put together a show to do just that. On the bill for the 7:30 PM concert at the State Fair Music Hall were Steppenwolf, the Chessmen and the American Blues. Tickets to the performance would set attendees back a mere two dollars. (DMN)

 

xx/xx/69          The American Blues break up, and Frank Beard moves to Houston.

 

Billy’s Bands

 

12/25/63         Billy gets his first guitar, a Gibson Melody Maker, and a Fender Champ Amp for Christmas.

                                    (ZZH2)

12/xx/63          Billy forms his first band, The Saints, within a week of getting his guitar. (BFG)

 

The Saints were:

Billy Gibbons:              Guitar

Steve Mickley:             Unknown

Phillip Taft:                  Unknown

David Crosswell:         Unknown

 

07/xx/64          Billy Gibbons formed his second band called Billy G. And The Ten Blue Flames after about six months with The Saints. (BFG)

 

xx/xx/65          Billy Gibbons formed (his third) band called The Coachmen. (ZZH, SDM, MCC)

 

The Coachmen Mark I were:

Billy Gibbons:               Guitar

V.E. Harris:                    Rhythm Guitar (BFG)

Kelly Parker:                 Keyboards (MCC)

Mike Frazier:                Bass

Dan Mitchell:              Drums (SDM, BFG)

 

You can hear recordings of the third band in the CD box set The Moving Sidewalks - The Complete Collection

 

Here I must introduce the Steve Ames calendars. These were kindly archived by the Briscoe Center for

American History in Austin, TX as part of the Richard Ames Music Collection. These calendars give us

exceptional detail about the evolution and gig history of the Moving Sidewalks. All listings from this

source appear with the (RAC) designation. It is difficult to know from the available materials when exactly the

band formed, as opposed to when Steve Ames became heavily involved.

 

1965                Ames Productions/The Ames Agency - "Ames Productions was the owner of (the Catacombs) Club and Bob Cope was the General Manager. Richard Ames was the financial backer of Ames Productions and his brother, Steve, was musically inclined. Steve supported groups... To make a long story short, Bob Cope was the magic behind it all. Simply, he knew talent and knew how to promote it. Steve Ames (was the) manager of the Neal Ford and the Fanatics, (the) Moving Sidewalks, Deuces Wild, and The Magic Ring." (an excellent historical overview is here:  www.scarletdukes.com/st/tmhou_hammondint.html)

 

                        Most of the performance contracts for the Moving Sidewalks are signed by Steve Ames. (RAM)

                        Steve was also the organ player for Neal Ford And The Fanatics for just over a year. (USW, RAW, MCC)

 

6/25/65           Steve Ames (future manager of the Moving Sidewalks) joins Neal Ford And The Fanatics as the organ player after quitting the band Surfside VI (RAC)

 

7/10/65           Steve Ames' calendar suggests that he either played a Neal Ford gig with the Coachmen or that he himself performed in a gig with the Coachmen on this night (RAC)

 

12/15/65         This is the first listing from the modern Moving Sidewalks website. It says, “Dan and Don Joins (sic) the Coachmen - As Don Summers & Dan Mitchell joins (sic) the Coachmen with Billy F Gibbons a new band emerges.”  The problem is all other evidence suggests that Don Summers does not replace Mike Frazier until at least after the recordings of 4/22/66. The 2012 box set shows a photo of the band on that April date, and Mike is there, and Don is not. (MSW, MCC)

 

1966                The New Breed – Beaumont, TX (The band Tom Moore was in before joining The Moving Sidewalks. Bass player Gerald Pierce went on to be managed by Steve Ames in the MS sister band The Magic Ring) (USW)

 

The New Breed were:

 

Tom Moore:                 Hammond Organ/vocals

Jeff Strange:                 Guitar/vocals

Gerald Pierce:              Bass/vocals

Jack Grochmal:            Drums/vocals

 

04/22/66         Gold Star Recording, Houston, TX - Recording session by the Coachmen for 99th Floor & Stay Away as published in MS: The Complete Collection (MCC)

4 or 5/66         "After getting (the recording) home and listening to it a million times... we went to Richard & Steve Ames to see if they wanted to manage and produce us."  Dan Mitchell (MCC)

 

05/19/66         Jones Sound Recording Studio, Houston, TX - Recording session for 99th Floor & Stay Away. This is the first date in all the Steve Ames calendars where the name Moving Sidewalks appears. His calendars begin in January of 1965. On the CD box set "Moving Sidewalks - The Complete Collection" (my reference to this box set is "MCC") the earliest recordings are attributed to The Coachmen from April of 1966. The 4/22 date in the box set is convincingly supported by an invoice from the session. But there is a clear date {5/19} in the calendar for a session with the “Moving Sidewalks” and the songs 99th Floor & Stay Away. Two previously unreleased mixes are attributed to Jones Studios in 4/66. Since most of the other sessions with Steve Ames appear to have been at Jones, I am guessing that this is the first Jones session. Also interesting is the appearance in the calendar of the name "Missing Links," crossed out and Moving Sidewalks written in. Even though the MS name appears in the Steve Ames calendar on this date, recordings from this session are still attributed to The Coachmen in the box set. (RAC, MCC)

 

06/30/66          Billy Gibbons formed his forth band called The Moving Sidewalks. (BFG) “Billy coins a new band name after being inspired by actual Moving Sidewalks at Dallas' Love Field airport." This is the date given by the modern website for the formation of the band. (MCC, MSW) 

 

The Moving Sidewalks were:

Billy Gibbons:               Guitar & Vocals

Kelly Parker:                 Keyboards until 10/20/66 (MCC, RAC)

Tom Moore:                 Keyboards

Don F. Summers:         Bass

Dan M. Mitchell:         Drums

 

Moving Sidewalks History:

 

07/20/66         Moving Sidewalks begin to visualize their sounds from the influence of Beatles, Rolling Stones and Jimi Hendrix. (MSW)

 

08/01/66         Steve Ames has still been gigging on organ with Neal Ford. On this date he quits Neal Ford And The Fanatics as a performer but continues to book their gigs. (RAC)

09/19/66         Moving Sidewalks practice. This is the second date in all the Steve Ames calendars where the name Moving Sidewalks appears. (RAC)

10/04/66         Andrus Recording Studio, Houston, TX - Recording session for 99th Floor with Steve Ames producing. (RAC, MCC)

10/14/66         Catacombs Club, Houston, TX

[Moving Sidewalks/The Inmen/KJBAWB/NFATF/The Outsiders] (DH poster, BFG, RAC)

10/15/66         Catacombs Club, Houston, TX

                                    [Moving Sidewalks/The Inmen/KJBAWB/NFATF/The Outsiders] (DH poster, BFG, RAC)

10/16/66         The Moving Sidewalks audition for Mainstream Records (RAC)

10/17/66         Moving Sidewalks practice. (RAC)

10/20/66         Mainstream Records calls back. Interestingly, there is a note that says, "Parker out of Sidewalks." Kelly Parker was a part of the spring recording sessions, and the Complete Collection liner notes verify that he appears on the released 99th Floor single by the Moving Sidewalks. (RAC, MCC)

10/22/66         The band worked on the arrangement of the song "What Are You Going to Do." (RAC)

10/24/66         Andrus Recording Studio, Houston, TX - Recording session.

                                    (On this date The Moving Sidewalks also sign an agreement with Mainstream Records granting “sole and exclusive option upon our services as recording artists.”) (RAM, RAC)

10/28/66         Teen Canteen, St. Luke's Methodist Church, Houston, TX (RAC)

11/19/66         Moving Sidewalks play two parties: "TAK Party and Larry Kane Party" (RAC)

12/02/66         The Living Eye, Houston, TX (RAC)

12/09/66         Teen Canteen, St. Luke's Methodist Church, Houston, TX (RAC)

                                    (Little Ringo/The Glass Kans/Moving Sidewalks/The Flyze/NFATF)

12/10/66         The Living Eye, Houston, TX (Evening show) (RAC)

12/16/66         Private Party, location unknown (RAC)

12/21/66         Moving Sidewalks practice? (RAC)

12/22/66         Moving Sidewalks practice? (RAC)

12/23/66         Jones Sound Recording Studio, Houston, TX - Recording session: Every Night A New Surprise & Stay Away (RAC)

12/26/66         Jones Sound Recording Studio, Houston, TX - Recording session: Vocals on Every Night A New Surprise (RAC)

12/28/66         Private Party, location unknown (RAC)

12/30/66         Billy F Gibbons: “3 guys making a bare-bones go out it, guitar, bass, drums that was it. A keyboardist with a HAMMOND solidified The Moving Sidewalks”. This quote suggests that the performances between 10/20 & 12/28/66 were done as a trio. On the box set track 7 seems to be the one recorded in December of 1966. It does feature keyboards. Was this Kelly?  Tom? Steve Ames? (MCC, MSW)

The Moving Sidewalks warm up for Jimi Hendrix on some of the dates listed below. There has been controversy as to exactly which dates were played by the Sidewalks. This should now be accurate.

                                    [The Chessmen/NFATF/Soft Machine/Jimi Hendrix Experience] (TCM)

                                    [Moving Sidewalks/Soft Machine/Jimi Hendrix Experience]

                                    (Jimi & Billy jammed backstage at the Fort Worth show. A photo of Jimi and Billy

                                    [Magic Ring/Moving Sidewalks/Soft Machine/Jimi Hendrix Experience]

                                    (Dan Mitchell: "Jimi, Mitch & Noel actually stood behind the wing curtains during our entire set to listen.") (MCC)

 

02/19/68?       There is a great story in Billy’s book about painting with Hendrix one night after the show. You can find it on page 20 of Billy’s book: Rock+Roll Gearhead.

07/10/68         Sam Houston Coliseum, Houston, TX (BCC1, SAPL, HP, RAC)

                                    [Match Box/Moving Sidewalks/The Doors]

(Moving Sidewalks opened for The Doors and John Mayall. If I'm not mistaken, The

Doors concert was the first time Bill Ham saw Billy Gibbons play. Then Billy jammed with

John Mayall and Ham saw him again. I think that's when he approached him.) (DBI)(also

D Pattison STUB)

 

“The Doors show in Houston was a "happening," said bassist Summers. "It one of those shows that you had to be there to believe or experience. It was in front of our hometown audience where we were well-known and had a single that stayed on the charts for five weeks (99th Floor). The Sidewalks ended their set, as they usually did, with I'm a Man." The song went kind of like this: As it started, a fog machine and strobe came on. Toward the end, Gibbons got feedback going on his guitar, leaned it against the amp and left the stage. Organist Moore stuck matchbook covers between the keys of his Hammond B-3 so that an E chord would continue to play as he left the stage. Mitchell continued to (wail) away on the drums and Summers, with a few seconds left, started spinning his Flying V bass in the strobe-lit fog. Right at the end, shrouded by fog, Summers and Mitchell slipped off the stage. With feedback, lights, fog, and the organ blasting, the roadies fired the bombs and pulled the plug to the equipment," Moore said. The audience exploded.” (BCC1)

08/17/68         Love Street Light Circus Feel Good Machine, TX (RAC, LOV) (Houston or San Antonio)

 

Love Street Light Circus Feel Good Machine: In the Steve Ames calendar there are only a few gigs listed for Love Street. The problem is there were three possible locations. From the LOV source, we know: “Love Street attempted to expand and opened a club in Corpus Christi (very short lived {circa May 1969}) and another club in San Antonio (also short lived).”  Because of this, the location of the August and October 1968 Love Street Sidewalks shows are not certain, because the calendar just says, “Love Street.”

 

One poster from Love Street in San Antonio also references HEMISFAIR 1968. The dates of his event were between April 6 - October 6, 1968. This suggests that some or all of the venue’s short life was in the summer of 1968. This is important to the following listing:

 

08/16/68         13th Floor Elevators Gig:  I am posting this listing verbatim as a way to seek clarification. It is widely reported that the Moving Sidewalks opened for the 13th Floor Elevators. I have been unable to nail down the exact date (or dates). A suggested date is 8/15/69, however by then the band would have been ZZ Top. Also, the report suggests that the Love Street Light Circus Feel Good Machine was the venue in San Antonio where the billing took place. This venue did have a short-lived location at 345 East Commerce Street in San Antonio. (DH: www.scarletdukes.com/st/tmhou_venues2.html)  So here is the listing:

 

The Moving Sidewalks opened for the legendary Texas psychedelic group 13th Floor Elevators at the San Antonio Texas psychedelic venue Love Street Emporium located on Commerce Street on the edge of downtown San Antonio. The Elevators set was stopped after only a few songs by the San Antonio police department who arrested the band's lead singer Roky Erickson. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_Sidewalks). Note that the WIKI listing has been changed.

 

The more I read about the Elevators, the more unlikely either of the August dates (‘68 or ‘69) seem. If anyone has corrected information about this event, please send it to the email at the start of this document. For that matter, ANY ZZ/MS performance listings not shown in these pages are welcomed!

“It wasn't too long after the trip to California (9/5/68) that the Sidewalks began to break up, thanks to Uncle Sam, who decided he needed Moore and Summers more than the Sidewalks did. Moore was the first to go, leaving the band as a trio. The Sidewalks played for a while as a trio. Then bassist Don Summers was called to military duty and Gibbons and Mitchell were left at least one person short of a full band. Lanier Greig, who had been part of Neal Ford and the Fanatics, was brought in to replace both. Greig played organ and used the foot pedals for bass. The trio, then managed by Bill Ham, released one single: Salt Lick b/w Millers Farm.”  blogs.chron.com/40yearsafter/moving_sidewalks/

 

06/20/69         ZZ Top is formed; the name ZZ Top was registered on this date at Harris County Courthouse (SDM)

 

07/19/69         Riverside Hall, East Bernard, TX (advertised as Moving Sidewalks) (SN)

 

According to Gibbons, their odd name came from a row of posters he had, and his combination of the names Z.Z. Hill and BB King, which started out as ZZ King. Thinking this to be too close to BB King, he thought, well, BB is on Top, so we can be ZZ Top. (BFG)

 

ZZ Top - The 1st Band were:

 

Billy Gibbons:               Lead guitar and vocals

Lanier Greig:               Organ, bass pedals (one-time organ player for Neal Ford and the Fanatics) (USW)

Dan Mitchell:                Drums

 

07/04/69         Love Street Light Circus Feel Good Machine, Houston, TX [New Atlantis/ZZ Top] (DH poster, SCN)

                                    (The 1st gig with the ZZ Top name)

 

“Soon after the recording of Salt Lick, songwriter Jeff Barry asked Lanier (Greig) to New York to try out a part in a new show called The Cowboys. He went, and got the job, although (it was) short-lived. By the time he arrived back in Texas, Gibbons had fired him.... He was replaced by Bill Ethridge. Dan Mitchell was then replaced by Frank Beard while Dusty Hill subsequently joined in place of Ethridge. Beard and Hill had played together in the Dallas band American Blues, along with Dusty's brother Rocky.” (ZZH2)

 

Stick Pierce: "During one of our breaks from the Cellar in 1969, Billy Gibbons, who I met through my association with “The Magic Ring,” asked me to join his new band, “ZZ Top”. Their organ player, Lanier Greig (formerly of “Neal Ford and the Fanatics”), had recently left the newly formed group and Billy wanted to use a bass player as the third piece. I met one evening with Billy, former “Moving Sidewalks” drummer Dan Mitchell and their manager, Bill Ham, and we ran over a few songs, including a couple or so of Billy's originals. I was (and still am) flattered that I was offered the gig, but it just wasn't what I wanted to do musically. Billy found exactly what he needed a short while later when he teamed up with Dusty and Frank (also former Cellar players). The rest is history and neither I nor ZZ Top would want it any other way." (USW)

 

ZZ Top - The 2nd Band were:

 

Billy Gibbons:               Lead guitar and vocals

Bill Ethridge:                 Bass guitar (apparently after Stick Pierce had turned down the job)

Dan Mitchell:                Drums

 

08/28/69         Space City News, Houston TX - The first ad for the release of the LP Flash by the Moving Sidewalks appears, ironically almost three months after their last gig.

 

ZZ Top - The 3rd Band were:

01/xx/70          Bill Etheridge quits ZZ Top. He tells the story in Texas Monthly Magazine in December 1996: “For the record, I was not fired from ZZ Top for being ‘a bad influence on Frank Beard.’  I had received a call from my two old buddies Jimmie Vaughan and Doyle Bramhall about coming back to Dallas to play the blues with my homeboys. After talking to them, I quit the band. I did this just before the band signed with London Records. I didn’t want to be tied down to a contract with that particular band at that point in time. I have only the utmost respect for Billy, Frank, and Dusty. (TMM)

“I remember a local Texas band opened the show. I thought they were pretty good, but a little unimaginative, playing only blues covers. They did benefit from having Nicky Hopkins sit in on piano. Let's see, their name was something like ZigZag Topps - Z.Z. Top - that was it.” (DN, SLFM)

03/15/70         The modern Moving Sidewalks website reports that Billy painted with Jimi Hendrix on this date after a concert. Jimi was in London and not touring, so the incident was not from this date. (MSW) I suspect the incident occurred on 2/19/68.

                                    Quicksilver Messenger Service. Such a lineup did occur on 6/5/71, but this was well

                                    before Fandango was recorded, AND the first hurricane of 1971 was 7/4/71. On the

                                    Warehouse website they go so far as to show the tape recorder that was supposedly

                                    used)

                        A great story was posted on the tamadrum.co.jp Web site and has now been taken down. I am

                        posting it here, and if anyone objects please contact me and I will take it down immediately:

 

Frank Beard: I'll give you a really sappy story. I call this is my "crying" story. It happened around 1976 {SDM verifies the 1974 date}, and we were just starting to make it. Tres Hombres was out and, Le (sic) Grange, the single, was out. We had done about three or four opening tours all across the United States, and we'd sold a million copies for the first time. We were on our first headline tour and doing really well. We were playing "A" markets and "A" halls and selling them out, so we knew that we were about to really break. On a day off in Houston, Billy was trying to open a bottle of Evian (SDM says a jar of hot sauce on the afternoon of the show) and cut his middle knuckle on his left hand fairly deeply. He had about eight stitches. The next night, we had to play at a show in Denver, one of our first breakout cities. Some cities took to us quicker than others and Denver was one of those cities -it was like our third or fourth home; you know, Houston, Dallas, Oklahoma City and Denver.

 

Beard: We're in the dressing room, and all bummed out because of Billy's middle finger of his left hand. We thought we'd have to cancel but Billy said, "no, no, no let me figure this out." And he figured out that he could do a lot of slide if he moved the slide bar from his ring finger to his middle finger. The promoter went out and announced what had happened. He said that we were going to try to play but if we couldn't make it through the set, we would come back and play at another time for free. When the curtains opened, everyone was standing, and every cigarette lighter was lit! I almost cried because the crowd was so cool. The show went over really well. The arena had a deal that if you didn't like the show, you could return your STUB in at the end of the night for a refund. I think they had less than 10 refunds for that show. That was a really touching moment for me. (Copyright 2006 TAMA Drums)

                        Billy Gibbons: “The vulture I guess was interested in the place, so he takes off and does a couple

                        of laps around the hall. The guy we have handling the vulture came out, we stopped playing

                        and waited to see what happened. The way the handler has the bird trained, he taps his head

                        and the vulture lands there. Took a couple of taps, but the vulture landed, and we went back to

                        playing.” (AR)

(The Black Crowes are kicked off tour after this date.  The tour is sponsored by Miller Brewing Company. Repeated anti-sponsorship comments by Black Crowes lead singer, Chris Robinson, led to the band's dismissal.  Before the firing of the Black Crowes, ZZ Top bassist Hill spoke about corporate sponsorship. "Sponsorship... helps keep the price of the tickets down. So, I don't see anything but a good thing coming out of that.")

08/05/09         Buffalo Chip Stage, Sturgis, South Dakota (Aerosmith-only concert) (SFAL)

                        Aerosmith took the stage around 11:00 pm, with the stage wet from recent rain. In addition

                        Tyler had sprained his leg weeks earlier, so it may have still been weak. Around 11:56 pm during

                        the song “Love In An Elevator,” Tyler was doing some dance moves and appears in the YouTube

videos to either slip or lose his balance or both, and he pitches off the side of the catwalk extending into the audience. After a short time, he is retrieved by a number of crew, and his injuries result in cancellation of the remainder show, and later of the tour. ZZ Top were not scheduled to perform this night. All ZZ Top/Aerosmith shows between August 7 and September 18 are  subsequently canceled.
