Dusty Hill

[DitchPanda]

Has passed away at the age of 72. For those that don't know Dusty was the bass player for legendary rock band ZZ top. What a bummer.

[Black Hawk Basser]

I saw that.  Joey Jordison, former drummer of Slipknot, also passed at the young age of 46.

That sucks...46 is to young.

Have always been a ZZ Top fan.

Definitely a favorite band that I always thought was underappreciated.  Sad to see him go.  RIP.

I saw them at Nashville fairgrounds (Tejas tour) in '76 - they closed after The Band on their last waltz.  

We were on a blanket right in front of the stage.  

 

ZZTop are all from Beaumont, and recorded everything in Memphis.

Now THAT must have been a show to see.  You're a lucky man!  

 

I have the movie of The Last Waltz.  On the rare times I bring music out bass fishing, The Band and old ZZ Top seem to be heavily represented on the playlist.

I took my dad to see them in 2005 for his birthday. They were in there mid 50s at the time and they were fantastic. Best concert I've been to.

RIP Dusty Hill! I saw them twice in Knoxville, TN. The "Bringing Texas to the People" tour, with live animals on stage and the "Eliminator" your. Both great shows.

I saw them 3 times in the late 70’s (Skynyrd too) and I’m darn proud to say it ?
