ZZ Top - Live in Concert August 26, 8:00 PM MGM Grand Theater
ZZ Top's music is always instantly recognizable, eminently powerful, profoundly soulful and 100% Texas American in derivation. ZZ Top's support and link to the blues remains as rock solid as the music they continue to play. They have sold millions of records over the course of their career, have been officially designated as Heroes of The State of Texas, have been referenced in countless cartoons and sitcoms and are true rock icons but, against all odds, they're really just doing what they've always done.  Of course, there are only three of them - Billy F Gibbons, Dusty Hill, Frank Beard, but they're real and they're surreal and they're ZZ Top.
