Well, the Top have finished their current stint, which came to be as the lovechild of Aerosmith/ZZ's blockbuster Summer tour, in Reading PA and are on their way to Singapore. The past four or five weeks saw a number of dusted off classics, to include: Party on the Patio, My Head's in Mississippi (partially played), Brown Sugar, Mexican Blackbird, and most exciting in my opinion, a rare appearence of Dust My Broom.
The overseas tour holds several exciting possibilities: even more additional dusted off tunes, new venues that ZZ is believed to have never played before, and exciting shows in front of Top starved fans. It could be said that the band tours the US a little too much, pretty much non stop since early 2007. This has been at the detriment of a new album, and hopefully the band has not become uncomfortable and insecure with their chops at songwriting. I am hopeful the band returns to the studio upon the end of their European jaunt, and finally focuses on laying down new tracks.
Lastly, "Double Down Live" should prove to be an excellent release. I will comment further on the set as it nears its release date.
