Lord take me downtown


We just got back from the ZZ Top show at the Nut house in Dayton.

Like Rush, you have to marvel at how these guys get so much sound out of three instruments. They kept their show to basically all the old standards; Cheap Sunglasses, Heard on the X, Pearl Neckless, Under Pressure. & Tubesteak Boogie.

They ran through quick versions of the '80's video staple, Legs, Gimme all Your Lovin' & Sharp Dressed Man.

The highlights of the night; their cover of Jimi Hendrix' Foxy Lady and LaGrange where Gibbons played his guitar with one hand.

Other notes,

1) I've heard good things about the Nutter Center as a great venue for concerts... I was not impressed.
2) Where the hell do all these people with mullets work?
3) There is a term, muffin top, that illustrates a person's gut hanging over their waistline, but I think Nuclear mushroom cloud is more appropriate for some.
