RTP Dusty.
ZZ Top is one of the very few bands, still performing, many years later with all of it's original members it started with.
both Dusty Hill and Frank Beard replaced the previous bassist and drummer in 1969.They were currently the longest with same members - 51 years.
I checked their concert schedule a month or two ago, when I saw the prices for tickets (and the very poor selection that remained) I decided not to buy. bad move on my part although as I understand, they were already playing without him to to medical issues. My and the worlds loss.I just bought tickets for a December show.
RIP Dusty.
