Let's ROCK!

Opened with a killer: Got me Under Pressure! Tight and Rockin' "A"

TOO MANY unfamiliar depth cuts! (yawn..) D

AWESOME choice of "familiar" deep cuts: Party on the Patio..' Just Got Paid! B+

Blistering cover of Hendrix' Foxy Lady A+

OK interaction with crowd (our listeners!)..Seen better however, Kept talk down*

Billy Gibbons was very hoarse** cold conjestion? condition?

Energy A+

Did NOT play: Tube Snake Boogie! F-

I stayed for the traditional encore which always includes: Tube Snake Boogie!

I NEVER stay for encores, EVER..(beat the traffic guy, I am)***

ZZ Top backstage crew appalling! Is that a word?? The opening band told me they asked their guy for a pen and he screamed obsenities back while asking if he looked like an "f**in stationery store!" ZZ Top under guard and walled off from fan interaction F--

Why I LOVE my job: I don't pay for these tickets**(and our great listeners DON'T either..)..

Oh..Thanks to the ZXL listener who gave ME a shirt..(ZZ Top fans rock..I will wear it THANKS)

Grade: C-
