Wasn't expecting this. I knew he took a leave. I had the pleasure of seeing the original three back in the 70s and then again around 19 years ago or so.

Clapton...the Clapton gig was pure luck...last minute decision with my wife after the promoters added more seats right alongside the stage...AWESOME!

Back to Frank Beard, Dusty Hill and Billy Gibbons...Thank Goodness for YouTube...and my Playlist...

They were introduced and took the stage. Billy Gibbons strikes a chord, steps up to the mic and says they are the same three guys playing playing the same three chords for the last thirty years. And with that, they went into "Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers". The sold out crowd stood for the whole concert. RIP Dusty and Frank. The first time was in the mid 70s and only college and underground stations were playing these three dudes.
