Recording notes: Someone bought a whole row in the cheap seats ahead of my seat, so I plunked myself down in the empty row and had all the elbow room. This was the same venue as their 2022 tour appearance, I'd say attendance was down as I saw a good amount of empty seats. But the crowd that was there will support ZZ Top until one of us drops.

On the 2022 tour, Dusty Hill had of course just died, and longtime Billy F Gibbons Guitar Tech Elwood Francis had been asked to fill the space on the stage. Billy did the advanced bass fretwork for him, notably at the end of "I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide".

Now in 2024, I am pleased to report that Elwood, far from being replaced, has come into his own and played the full bass on every song. They don't vary the setlist anymore, as I compared to Winter 2023 shows and it's the same down to the encores. From 2022, they no longer play the final performance vocals of "Tush" from Dusty Hill. As long as Frank and Billy draw breath, I will support them on their current and future tours.

Support the band and attend their live performances. Long live ZZ Top!
