So sad. 72 is a bit too young. Have enjoyed their music from the beginning. Might have to dig out my Tres Hombres album.

"La Grange" was always one of those songs you remember
hearing for the first time. Such a unique cool sound . ZZ Top certainly
one of the great rock power trios. Thanks and RIP Dusty Hill.

"Tush" was the first "ZZ top" song I ever heard or at least that I knew was a ZZ top song. I was in the 7th grade, I loved it and I got my hands on the "Fandango" vinyl album as soon I could.

Seems like everybody I have ever known no matter the profession or intellect was able to get how cool the band was, one of a kind.

RIP Dusty

Saw the Top early '77 in Providence. The stage was shaped like Texas, and , for the time, the production was good. The music was awesome.
Again, saw the Eliminator tour at Reunion Arena in Dallas. IIRC, the stage backdrop was the dash of the car, and as the concert progressed, the fuel gauge went down accordingly. Again, the production was awesome, but the Music was monumental.
2 must listen to songs:
Manic Mechanic
Heaven, Hell or Houston
