ZZ Top's 1983 Concert History

ZZ Top is an American rock band formed in Houston, Texas, in 1969. The group is known for its blend of blues rock, boogie rock, and hard rock, as well as for the distinctive visual image of guitarist and vocalist Billy Gibbons and bassist and vocalist Dusty Hill, who for many years appeared with long beards, sunglasses, and hats. For more than five decades, the band's line-up consisted of Gibbons, Hill, and drummer Frank Beard. Following Hill's death in 2021, longtime guitar technician Elwood Francis became the band's bassist.

ZZ Top ,Earth Wind and Fire and Uriah Heep concert on 9/7 /73 was not in Rochester NY but at the Floyd Maines Arena in Binghamton N.Y. I am positive on this since I was there and it was one of my all time favorite shows.

You missed one. ZZ Top played the Mississippi Coliseum in Jackson, MS on April 18, 1991. I remember it well, cause we were really bummed. The Black Crowes were hot and new, and were supposed to open for ZZ Top, but for some reason they didn't. Can't remember why, but it turned out to be a good concert anyway. Sure did want to see the Black Crowes tho, lol.
