We don't know where this show came from but we assume it is a warm-up for the Rodeo and the Storytellers show. We are trying to to Ft. Worth for the show but that might not be possible.
More info here.

Tora Tora show March 7, 2009 in Memphis
Hey, we probably should have mentioned this earlier, but one of our favortie bands of all-time, Tora Tora, is playing a show this weekend. They kicked ass at Rocklahoma last year (check out our videos on YouTube) and I'm sure they'll kick ass this weekend as well.
With a band like this, youi never know if you'll get to see them again, so if you're in the central part of the U.S. drag yourself down to Beale Street in Memphis and check out the show.
Here's the info from their MySpace:
They're going back to where it all began 20 years ago...
Saturday, March 7, 2009--
Tora Tora at the New Daisy!
New Daisy Theater
330 Beale Street
Memphis, TN 38103
With Special Guests:

Tickets go on sale Friday, January 9, and will be available online through the New Daisy website. The website will also give a list of other stores where tickets can be purchased.
So, spread the word, and we hope to see everyone at the Daisy!

Major rock/metal festival updates coming soon!
This is a great time of year to be a hard rock/metal fan because all of the big summer festivals are starting to release their lineups.
Sweden Rock will be announcing more bands this week, and that is one festival we hope to attend this year for the first time.
Rocklahoma just announced Nelson (give them a chance!) and Great White to go along with the already-announced Keel and Kix. We hope to hit that show for a second time this July.
And Donington/Download will announce their third headliner in a few days.
Of course, there are many more great festivals taking place this year (especially in Europe) but these are the three we're focusing on, hoepfully we will be able to attend at least two of these three. If not, there's also Rock Gone Wild, Texas Rock Fest, and a couple of other options in Europe.

No Download announcement yet
Well, the first Download announcement was today, and ZZ Top still hasn't been formally announced. We think it will still happen but as always, we'll believe it when we see it.
lowpft.com has listed a new date for Prague on May 26, so hopefully the rest of this summer European tour will be leaking out soon.

ZZ Top to play at the Preakness May 16
It looks like ZZ will be playing at least one (and maybe more?) U.S. dates between the Rodeo in March and the May start of the European tour. It was announced today (but not yet confirmed by the band) that they will be playing at the Preakness horse race on May 16 in Baltimore.

Rumor: ZZ Top to play Download Festival in the U.K.
We are going to start a rumor that ZZ Top will be playing at the Download Festival (aka Donington) in the U.K. this year, followed by a U.K. tour in June.
OK, we didn't exactly start this rumor, it's been floating out there for a while, but supposedly an offer has been made to the band, and the dates for Download fit right into the gap after the German shows in early/mid-June.
No promises, of course, but it does seem to fit. If it's true, the announcement should be pretty soon, no later than mid-February.
As always, we'll believe it when we see it, but if it does happen, there will be some very happy fans in the U.K.!

ZZ Top to close out Houston Rodeo March 22, 2009
Well, we hinted at this a while back, and now it's almost official:
ZZ Top will return to the Houston Livestock and Rodeo Show this year!
It looks like they will be closing out the Rodeo again this year, expect a crowd of between 60,000-70,000 to see what may be the last appearance by the Boyzz at this incredible event.
An official announcement will probably come in a day or two, if it hasn't already.
(OK, we haven't seen a press release, but it is now on the Rodeo's web site.)

Same set list for 2009?
OK, someone posted the following set list from the Thackerville/Winstar show to zztop.com:
Set list
1. Got Me Under Pressure
2. Waitin' for the Bus
3. Jesus Just Left Chicago
4. Chevrolet
5. Pincushion
6. Future Blues
7. Cheap Sunglasses
8. I Need You Tonight
9. Catfish Blues
10. Foxy Lady
11. Heard it on the X
12. Just Got Paid
13. Gimme All Your Lovin'
14. Sharp Dressed Man
15. Legs
Encore:
Jailhouse Rock
LaGrange/Sloppy Drunk/BBQ
Tush
The interesting thing is that he said Elwood gave Billy his guitar for Just Got Paid---so does that mean Elwood is back? Since Sammy Sanchez took over as Billy's tech for the Flordia shows last Christmas that means Elwood has been gone for almost exactly one year.
Can anyone confirm this???

First photos from ZZ's 2009 shows
OK, we've been waiting for any news from the recent short ZZ Top holiday tour. We have heard nothing. No photos, no reviews, nada, zilch. Until today, when a few photos popped up from the Las Vegas show at the Hard Rock:
Vegas photos
It looks like B&D have some new guitars. Same new skull drum kit for Frank, though.
We know at least one person who was at the Vegas show so we're hoping to get some kind of a report on the 2009 ZZ Top set list or something.
We'll also have more details about the 2009 European Tour (and our own travel plans) as soon as we hear anything.

Exactly what they said (in Swedish)
Here is a kind-of funny translation that makes it clear that the Karlstad Sweden show and the Sweden Rock show are actually two different shows. I should have know that:

ZZ Top Tours Europe in Summer 2009 -- Headlining Sweden Rock Festival
Well, we might have to change our name to zztopeurope2009 now--because the Top is hitting the road in Europe again this year! We've been hearing rumors and getting e-mails about this summer tour for some time, and I guess it is now official.
Dates are starting to trickle in, check lowpft.com for the details.
The big news for us is that ZZ Top is now confirmed for the famous Sweden Rock Festival in June 2009. Other dates so far are in Germany, Norway, and Denmark. We expect more dates to be added beyond Germany and Scandanavia (Poland perhaps?) but nothing is confirmed yet.
Let us know through a comment or at zztopeurope2007@yahoo.com if you hear anything.
More info as we receive it.
Oh yeah, we are waiting to hear the lineup for the 2009 Houston Rodeo. The Boyzz haven't played there for a while and we hope they will be back this year...maybe on March 22? (That's just an educated guess, though.)
