Rock and Roll Hall of Famers ZZ Top are celebrating their 50th year with a massive North American tour which includes a stop at the King Center. ZZ Top still maintains the most consistently stable lineup in the history of rock music: Billy F Gibbons, Dusty Hill, and Frank Beard. In 1969, BFG formed ZZ Top with drummer Beard and bass-guitarist Hill, both from the Dallas area. Fifteen studio albums, 30 million record sales and 5 decades later, "That Little Ol' Band From Texas" is still going strong, playing timeless hits like "La Grange," "Legs," "Sharp Dressed Man," and "Tush" to audiences the world over. Billy Gibbons looked back at the history of the band, while also looking forward to the 50th Anniversary tour dates. "It's been five decades, and I think we're starting to get pretty good at all this! The beards, Frank excepted, are perhaps a bit longer, yet nothing else has changed. We're keeping it that way."
