The Little Ol' Band From Texas, ZZ Top, made a stop on its Elevation Tour at Red Rocks, and the legendary blues-rockers showed they still have all the flash. With long lines at the ADA sections and patrons toting walkers past row forty, the loyal crowd was treated to a set full of the band's timeless heavy blues.

Billy Gibbons proved he's still got all the charisma of a leading man at age 75, kicking things off with a clean "Got Me Under Pressure" while Elwood Francis, replacement for the late Dusty Hill, showed off his signature fifteen-sting bass guitar. Eddie 9V opened the show.
