| ZZ Top |
Legendary
and fan favorite rock band “ZZ Top” performed in Vegas on Saturday at The Joint
at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino on August 16, 2014. It is quite amazing that
they are one of the few major label recording groups to have held the same
lineup for more than forty years. Members
of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame since 2004 ZZ Top was a big hit in Vegas!

| Jeff Beck |
Opening
for ZZ Top was English guitarist Jeff
Beck who from his blog says “Playing guitar is a sideline, the cars are the
main thing,” Beck jokes about his hotrod obsession – the guitar virtuoso has
been playing a mix of instrumental songs and bluesy tunes that feature vocalist
Jimmy Hall, who sang on Beck’s 1985 album Flash. Each night, Beck has been
coming out to jam with the Texas blues trio to play some of their hits, like
“Rough Boy” – which Beck and ZZ Top vocalist-guitarist Billy Gibbons played at
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 25th Anniversary Concert in 2009 – and songs
both artists have played, like “Jailhouse Rock,” which Beck covered on 1969′s
Beck-Ola.” ( www.jeffbeckofficial.com/news/jeff-beck-on-going-note-for-note-with-zz-top-and-a-naughty-brian-wilson-track)
