ZZ Top “the lil ol band from Texas” who are celebrating 50 years as a band said the key to their success is that they love doing what they do best and their fans do too. Billy Gibbons said, “It’s all directly attributable to the fact we enjoy doing what we get to do and it seems a ton of folk, through successive generations, have picked up on it and want more of the good times,“I guess we struck a chord, both literally and figuratively, and with that we are most thankful.” Gibbons, bassist/vocalist Dusty Hill and drummer Frank Beard brought a fantastic show to the fans of Camden and Philly with all of their hits including “Gimme All Your Lovin’,” “Sharp Dress Man,” and of course “Legs.”
