“It’s been nearly five years since ZZ Top played the MAD Amphitheater and we are excited to welcome them back to El Dorado. We had a blast watching them during our grand opening and hope that many of those attendees will return for another night of fantastic music,” said Pam Griffin, MAD President and CEO.
It was in Houston in the waning days of 1969 that ZZ Top coalesced from the core of two rival bands, Billy Gibbons’ Moving Sidewalks and Frank Beard and Dusty Hill’s American Blues. (Elwood Francis succeeded Hill following the latter’s death in 2021).
The new group went on to record “ZZ Top’s First Album” and “Rio Grande Mud” that reflected their strong blues roots. Their third, 1973’s Tres Hombres, catapulted them to national attention with the hit “La Grange,” still one of the band’s signature pieces. Their next hit was “Tush” that was featured on their Fandango! album, released in 1975.
As a touring unit, they’ve been without peer over the years, having performed before millions of fans through North America on numerous epochal tours as well as overseas where they’ve enthralled audiences from Slovenia to Argentina, from Australia to Sweden, from Russia to Japan and most points in between. Their iconography – beards, cars, girls and that magic keychain – seems to transcend all bounds of geography and language.
ZZ Top has released 15 studio albums and sold more than 50 million albums worldwide.
