ZZ Top Bring New Spin To Classics
. The latter was the case at New Jersey's Bergen Performing Arts Center on May 14, as ZZ Top played songs spanning their entire 40 year career � and all of them got a great reaction from fans. The rewards for the die-hards came early: the band took the stage (Billy Gibbons and Dusty Hill playing bright violet guitars, and Frank Beard on a skull encrusted drum kit) with "Precious And Grace" from 1973′s Tres Hombres. From there, they went to last year's excellent and underrated La Futura, playing "Heartache In Blue" and "Have A Little Mercy." After complimenting opening act The Ben Miller Band (more on them later), guitarist/singer Billy Gibbons commented, "They're very organic. Everyone's going green!" He then added, "But green's not bad" and then pulled out what appeared to be a hand rolled cigarette from his jacket pocket, to roars from the audience. more.
