herring did a fine job with The Dead on his tours with them - frankly, i'm a little concerned that warren can handle all the duties adequately this year.

ronnie? bad fit for the abb...hope it doesn't happen.

Hey Tod. Herring is awesome, and yes, Haynes has become the hardest working guitarist this summer. It's cool when he plays with two different bands on the same day (Gov't Mule, ABB, Dead).

he certainly was the hardest worker when i caught the hunter/allmans/dead show 5 years ago - was on-stage the better part of 6 hours.

Tonight is Billy Gibbons guest slot!

hard to figure on what they'll do together...maybe a la grange or something slow and bluesy...say, fool for your stockings....

Hot, Blue, and Righteous?

that'd be nice. it's a bit of a stretch to try to meld together the zz top and abb styles, frankly - but the results could be interesting. i'm assuming that the brothers will all be donning fake beards for the occasion....

"Jesus Just Left Chicago" might be nice. Also, Gregg singing "Tush" or "Pearl Necklace".

i'm gonna go out on a limb and rule out sharp-dressed man

I Heard it on the X

you heard wrong

i wonder if anyone knows if elvin bishop will be sitting in this week... he'd be a natch fit - has both warren and derek guesting on his latest, too...

PEARL NECKLACE! or Brown Sugar (ZZ Top's one, not connected).

by the way, I'd like to hear Ronnie w/ them. He's not that kind of playing, but he's blues as well, listen to his Love In Vain w/ Faces.

I'm predicting: Stormy Monday Blues, Just Got Paid, She Loves My Automobile.

So much for Dickey Betts.....

Looking for more reports on the show!

Check out the great line-up for the Wanee festival - including ABB. North Florida fun.

Note: Ivan Neville's band and Toots- it's Stones-related!

T&A got this one right - just heard that the brothers were in full-beard ensemble for billy's arrival...
