ZZ Top pulled into the Beacon last Friday for a hastily-scheduled one night stand at the Beacon. When Steven Tyler fell off the stage, their gig opening for Aerosmith on the “summer shed circuit” was scrapped. Instead, their tour finds them playing some venues, like the 9:30 club in Washington, which would ordinarily be too intimate for a band with their drawing power.

I admit it: I came late to the game. Only a couple of years ago, a friend suggested The Avett Brothers’ Emotionalism as the next album I should buy. Priority number one. And when I say “suggested,” I mean threatened my life if I did not obey. He, like all newly won Avett disciples, was eager to spread the good word about the trio’s inimitable cocktail of musical genres propped up by poignant lyrics and the ability to flat out jam. Despite arriving to the party seven years late, I fell hard and fast for Seth Avett, Scott Avett, and Bob Crawford (and frequent touring fourth member, Joe Kwon).
