LOL . . . it was the first show of a three-show "tour".

Glad you liked it.

Reminds me of a conversation I had with one of the members of Texas String Assembly about their tour.  It was three cities including Austin.

Toadies at House of Blues Houston, Sunday night.  They've done a mini Texas tour in late December for several years now. Couldn't go last year when Local H opened unfortunately

excited about this but also curious...the austin date is the only one that has venue tba. formerly i would have assumed this was levitation but they've moved that festival to sept 25-28 next year. so does this mean there's another festival that will be happening halloween weekend? not sure why else they wouldn't announce the venue...will be interested to see if the austin tickets go on sale this week along with all the others. 

 

I fell in love with the beat of "Punk Rock Loser" when I first heard it.  Then found the lyrics hilarious.  Trying to figure out where they would be playing in Austin?  Too big for Antones and Continental I assume?  Hotel Vegas?

Saw Billy Gibbons, Chris Layton, Mike Flanigin, and Jimmie Vaughan at Antone's on Friday. 

Arrived early enough to grab one of the stools along the wall. 

Gibbons started by saying that he wasn't feeling great, but the show must go on.  Played several ZZ Top songs and Gibbons voice sounded terrible - painful to listen to because you could tell that it hurt him to sing.   

It seemed that they improvised some and probably had Flanigan and Vaughan sing a few more.  I would have been fine with just hearing the guitars without singing. 

I thought they would cancel last night's show and the Ft. Worth show tonight based upon how bad Gibbons sounded and felt, but they played last night.
