ZZ Top Tour Dates

Updated 1/7/12

 

Hi all!  Some of you may be asking yourselves, “what ever happened to the ZZ Top Tour Date website?”  I have not added any updates in three years!  I apologize for this.  In 2009-2010 I bought a new house, moved 20 years of crap from one house to the other, sold the old house, and did a bunch of work on the new one.  This had the effect of putting all other projects on the back burner, and this website was one of them.  At the end of 2010 I began work to update the site.  The amount of new info to mix in was daunting.  As you will see, I got a little anal about documenting my sources.  But now, I present to you the newest update of this list with many older date additions. 

 

This is the 9th version of collected ZZ Top and Moving Sidewalks dates.  All adds or corrections which are new since the last list will 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.  The list 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!

 

This incarnation of the list reflects the influence of a man I have not yet met, but who can only be seen hereafter as a partner in the project.  His name is Bert Gangl, and he has taken it upon himself to supplement my efforts so thoroughly that the list is now equally his.  Having said that, 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 ticket stubs, found at: http://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.

 

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 pricing 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.  This is particularly true of Rolling Stone & Circus Magazine, which are sometimes right, but often are not.  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 me at zztours@nospamcomcast.net.  Please be sure to delete the phrase “nospam” from that address.  Also, please include the documentation you have for the date:  ticket 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 me to respond to an email, please forgive me!  Thanks!

 

Two Notes about this list:

 

  1. 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)

 

  1. To save on space, I have shortened most listings that use the city name twice.  For instance, the listing:

10/2/75            Springfield Civic Center, Springfield, MA

Becomes:

10/2/75            Civic Center, Springfield, MA

 

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! 

 

Here is a list of source notations and their abbreviations.  You will see the notations throughout the list, and can refer back to these sources if you wish to look for more information (some of these sources also provide excellent resources for researching other bands!):

Here is the live history of ZZ Top and related bands, starting with the birth dates of the three primary members:

 

1949

 

5/19/49            Joe Michael (Dusty) Hill born (MSB)

6/11/49            Frank Lee Beard born (MSB, RRP)

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

 

1960s

 

7/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 cuz 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” (http://www.billnarum.com/z-2-z/page223.htm)

 

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

 

xx/xx/64          Dusty Hill was in at least two bands with his brother Rocky in Dallas: The Starliners & The

                        Deadbeats. (DMN, RRP, ZZH2)

           

xx/xx/64          Frank Beard was in at least two bands in Ft. Worth: The Cellar Dwellers & The Hustlers.

                        (RRP, 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, RRP, ZZH2, GHO, LWI)

 

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)

 

5/xx/65            Lou Ann's Club, Dallas, TX (WWA) [The Chessman/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 Chessman, 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. (WWA)

 

xx/xx/65          The Cellar strip club, Ft. 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)

 

xx/xx/66          Billy Gibbons formed his second band called Billy G. And The Ten Blue Flames. (BFG)

 

xx/xx/66          Billy Gibbons formed (his third) band called The Coachmen.  (ZZH)

                                    (SDM says Coachmen played as early as 1965)

 

The Coachmen were:

Billy Gibbons:             Guitar

V.E. Harris:                 Guitar (alternately, Bob Braden on guitar) (SDM)

Mike Frazier:               Bass

Virgil Harris:               Drums (alternately, Dan Mitchell on drums) (SDM, BFG)

 

xx/xx/66          Billy Gibbons formed his forth band called The Moving Sidewalks.  (BFG)  It has been suggested the name came from “the pedestrian conveyance at Denver's Stapleton Airport.”

                        (NTM)

 

The Moving Sidewalks were:

Billy Gibbons:             Guitar & Vocals

Tom Moore:                Keyboards

Don F. Summers:        Bass

Dan M. Mitchell:         Drums

 

xx/xx/67          Dusty and Frank change the band name to The American Blues, wearing their hair blue. (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

7/10/68            Sam Houston Coliseum, Houston, TX (BCC1, SAPL, HRW)

                                    [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 HRW, 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)

“It wasn't too long after the trip to California (in September of 1968) 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.”  http://blogs.chron.com/40yearsafter/moving_sidewalks/

 

xx/xx/69          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.  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 venue was in San Antonio, when in fact it was in Houston (DH: http://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. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_Sidewalks)

 

If anyone has correct information about this event, please send it to the email at the start of this document.  For that matter, ANY ZZ/MS performances not listed in these pages are encouraged!

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

 

6/20/69            ZZ Top is formed; the name ZZ Top was registered at Harris County Courthouse (SDM)

 

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)

 

The 1st Band = Billy Gibbons, lead guitar and vocals

                         Lanier Greig, organ, bass pedals

                         Dan Mitchell, drums

 

7/4/69              Love Street Light Circus Feel Good Machine, Houston, TX [New Atlantis/ZZ Top] (DH poster)

                                    (Reported to be the 1st gig with the 1st 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)

 

The 2nd Band = Billy Gibbons, lead guitar and vocals

                          Bill Ethridge, bass guitar

                          Dan Mitchell, drums

10/19/69          Houston, TX [ZZ Top/Bubble Puppy/Janis Joplin] (verified by tape)

                                    (SDM verifies that Bill played bass and Frank on drums at this show)

I think whoever was doing the Janis Joplin show might've liked Billy in his Moving Sidewalks band. It could've been a Bill Ham deal. I don't know. They opened up for Janis. They opened up for Grand Funk in the Coliseum.

10/31/69          Dusty Hill moves to Houston, where he will reconnect with Beard. (DMN)

                                    (The band performed at the grand opening of this store)

 

 

1970

 

1/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.

                        “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)

                                    in his book, where he describes waiting out a hurricane with the Allman Brothers and

                                    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

                        A great story was posted on the tamadrum.co.jp website, 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 sez 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 made an announcement about 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 ticket 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)

8/5/09              Aerosmith concert, Buffalo Chip Stage, Sturgis, South Dakota (AFO)

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

had sprained his leg weeks earlier, so it may have still been weak.  Around 11:56pm 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. (LFW, AFO, YTB)

 

8/14/09            The rest of the ZZ Top/Aerosmith tour is cancelled on this date due to Steven Tyler's injury at

                        Sturgis on 8/5/09.
