ZZ Top & Jeff Beck
ZZ Top and Jeff Beck partner for a co-headlining adventure beginning in Big Sky Country in early August. Markets include Los Angeles, Denver, Boston and St. Louis.
With the exception of a few one-off performances, ZZ Top and Beck have never actually toured together. Billy Gibbons joined Beck and his band for the 25th anniversary celebration of the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame at NYC’s Madison Square Garden in 2009 where they performed Jimi Hendrix’s “Foxy Lady” and ZZ Top’s “Rough Boy.” One year later it was Beck’s turn as a guest when the guitar maestro joined ZZ Top in Italy for a rendition of “La Grange.”
And it’s a sure bet you’ll see the two acts collaborate on the upcoming tour. The plan calls for Beck to perform a full set followed by ZZ Top doing the same before everyone joins forces onstage to cap each evening’s performance.
