Another sad day. 72 is too young. Beer drinkers and Hell raisers forever!!!
Waaay too young, IMHO. RIP, Dusty!
♪ im bad, im nationwide ♫
Another legend part gone. Best group ever, IMHO!
Dusty’s Guitar Tech took over for him the last few shows. Looks like he recently had hip or knee surgery, could barely move on stage.
Did he take the jab?
“Dusty’s Guitar Tech took over for him the last few shows. Looks like he recently had hip or knee surgery, could barely move on stage”
That is my understanding as well. I’m wondering if maybe he had a problem with painkillers? That was the problem with Tom Petty he had a fractured hip barely made it through his last tour and essentially accidentally OD’d on opioids before he could get surgery.
RIP Dusty Hill. Last saw them perform in 2002. They did a great show.
Just Damn!
The greats keep leaving us.
RIP
Rest in peace, Mr.Hill, sure loved your music.
The wife and I saw ZZ here in Houston May 2019. Bad ass concert. These guyz were jammin.
Sad day here in Texas.
Rest in peace Dusty man.
Last show with Dusty, July 18th in Louisville, you clearly see him resting against the amplifier

I was going to their concert in SC tonight. RIP Mr. Hill.
Having been raised in Texas I always had affection and respect for this band. I knew of Billy Gibbons before Z Z Top. Also - an old childhood friend of mine was best man in a wedding of which Billy Gibbons was an usher. This was after Z Z Top were well known. How cool would that be to be ushered by Billy Gibbons? :-)
So sad to hear that Dusty died so young. I am glad I got to see them in their La Grange era years.
Oh, Dusty! Gone way too soon! :(
One of the best concerts I’ve ever been too. We all wore trench coats and beards and couldn’t talk for a few days from yelling and singing.
ZZ Top was simply awesome back in the day. I even named one of my dogs ‘ZZ’ after that band.
