Howdy, Comrades?

Is it true? We have heard that our Lil' Ol Band from Texas, USA, them ZZ TOPS will be playing their first ever shows in Russia this October...specifically October 27 in St. Petersburg!

This is very exciting, I hope that a Moscow date is also announced soon! Where else will they go on this tour? Poland perhaps?

Shoulda just checked YouTube first...

...my favorite ZZ Top setup of recent times, Frank's green spinning
drums with the green bass and guitar -- has returned. Too bad they
weren't wearing the green suits as well.

Jeff Beck with ZZ Top:

ZZ + Jeff Beck

We heard that Jeff Beck got up and played with ZZ for the encore at one
of the Italian shows. Luca or anyone, do you have an update on that for
us?

Billy Gibbons plays Foxy Lady on the back of a truck with Jeff Beck and Jimmie Vaughn!

Very cool:

There may not be any official announcement for some time, but tickets have now actually gone on sale for the October 16 Paris Bercy date, so it appears that the October European tour (just like last year, nice time to visit) is officially on.
