RIP Dusty Hill

Always thought it strange that the only guy in the band without a beard was the only one named Beard. RIP Dusty.
 
First time I saw ZZ August 1973 Fairgrounds in Allentown PA. No beards, flannel shirts, cowboy hats, sheep all around stage it was 95 degrees. They opened up, headliner was Uriah Heep. Second band was suppose to be Rory Gallagher but he canceled and Earth Wind and Fire filled the spot. ZZ came on lit it up, heavy and loud. Started a long love affair with seeing them live. Thanks for all the good times and fond memories Dusty. RIP

That must have been a heck of a show. Easy Livin by Uriah Heap was a favorite of mine and Earth Wind and Fire just sounded good. ZZ had to have been on fire back then.

It was a wild ass Sunday Afternoon. Truth be told I was very disappointed when I found out Rory canceled. Halfway thru ZZ set fans finally knocked down cyclone fence and concert became free and crazier. Yeah this was when Heep was really good before they kicked David Byron out of band which happened after concert in Philly which I also attended. Later bass player Gary Thain was electrocuted on stage in rainstorm in Texas didn’t die but that was the end of him.
