Okay, so apparently the company Go Daddy throws one hell of a party.
Saturday night, December 11th, Scottsdale, Arizona. Folk / Pop singer and songwriter Jewel, George Thorogood and the Destroyers, and that Little Ol' Band from Texas put on a private concert for more than 5,000 employees, family and friends of internet domain facilitator Go Daddy. Home of the Arizona Diamondbacks, "Chase Field" was transformed into an amusement park, complete with a farris wheel, raffles, bumper cars and a merry-go-round, as well as the aforementioned musical entertainment.
I had no idea that ZZ would be performing at this party. Apparently few did. Many acts are known to perform private gigs - even Madonna can be arranged to present to a personal event, for a cool million. I could do without Jewel, but George Thorogood would have been sweet to see in "support" of ZZ.
Anyway, check out the videos on YouTube. Looks like the Boyzz played a full set, doesn't seem like any new songs though. I haven't found a set list for Odessa either, anybody know what they played?

Anyone seen the new "Special Batch 44 Hard" t-shirt on the band's merchandise web site. Any ideas what this is referring too? Couldn't have something to do with a new record could it? Nah..
They usually do 2-4 of these "private" shows each year...I remember getting skunked on tickets when they played a private event at the House of Blues here in Chicago a few years ago. This does explain why they booked the Odessa show though...if you drive from Houston to Phoenix Odessa is right about half-way...the private shows are a nice payday but if you are going to drive the crew and the gear out there you might as well make some money on the way.
