The Chessmen feature in almost every account of the Dallas music scene in the mid and late '60s. Famous at the time for their live shows, the Chessmen are remembered now for the members who went on to national fame: Doyle Bramhall played with and wrote songs for Stevie Ray Vaughn, Bill Etheridge played bass with ZZ Top before Dusty Hill, and Jimmie Vaughn was in the Fabulous Thunderbirds.
These are photos from concerts where The Chessmen played, so they may be of other bands that played the concert as well.
