In 94 they were so horrible live I couldn't tell what song they were playing half the time. I did see them live at Zilker Park in Austin in 2006 and they played extremely well. They made a big deal about playing by the Stevie Ray Vaughan statue.

Still I've seen them 4 times in my life twice they were "below average," and once they were horrible and the other time they were damn good. That just says to me Kenny is smart in not spending money on what is essentially a gamble.

Don't get me wrong Keith is still way cool.

It's just I agree ticket prices for their shows are seriously high for a band that doesn't always bring a good show. I love me some ZZ Top too and I've seen them likely around 6 times, and I'd only say twice was "good," but bad ZZ Top is better than say Good Madonna for me.

SEE ,THAT IS WHY HE IS KEITH RICHARDS , HE CAN FALL OUT OF TREES AND DO ALL THOSE DRUGS BUT HE EATS AT MR CHOWS. BEING NOT A GREAT KEITH FAN . WHAT I WANT TO KNOW IS WHY DID CHARLIE END UP WITH THE "C" , MICK TAYLOR GO CRAZY , GET FAT, SLOW AND LAZY . AND STILL GET ROBBED OF HIS COPYRIGHT ON A FEW SONGS , BUT KEITH CAN FALL OUT OF TREES , CAN SWIM DRUNK AND DRUGGED AND STILL GO EAT MR CHOWS AND NOTHING HAPPEN TO HIM .. maybe Johnny's got it right , BY PLAYING THAT PART ALSO , ITS ONLY ROCK AND ROLL... ( EGG ROLL THAT IS ) .
