This band holds the distinction of being among the few rock bands still composed of its original recording members for for going on 40 years and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004. Rock trio ZZ Top formed in Houston, Texas, in 1969 and consists of Billy Gibbons (lead vocals, guitar), Dusty Hill (vocals, bass, keyboards), and Frank Beard (drums, percussion). No, it doesn’t suck to be me.įirst…ZZ Top ZZ Top rockin' the MGM Grand Garden Arena Sometimes it is on a road case and not a chair but the Photo Diva does not do anything as un-diva-like as actually buy tickets.
We are also set up with two folding chairs inside the fenced off Front of House position for the show which, in my opinion, is always the best seat in the house. On our arrival we were handed “working” passes which makes us a part of the crew and allows us unlimited access to the area before, during and after the show. The editor of FOH magazine and I went down early to take photos and interview the sound guys and watch the set up process. I’m covering this show on several levels: as the photographer for Front of House magazine (a trade publication for pro audio engineers), as a freelance photographer for a major audio manufacturer and lastly as the Photo Diva. MGM Grand Garden Arena Setting up for the show inside MGM Grand Garden Arena I went to three shows in two days: The first was ZZ Top and Aerosmith at the MGM Grand Garden Arena (patterned after New York’s Madison Square Garden with a seating capacity of 17,157), the second was The Donnas at the Hard Rock’s Wasted Space (this long and thin “anti-club” holds a couple of hundred partyers and features a stage at one end dedicated to live music) and finally there’s Ali Spuck at The Cabaret at the Liberace Museum (a small 86-seat theater within the Liberace Museum complex). This weekend I feel a bit like Goldilocks trying to find the right fit.
