La Grange & Tush Performance by Billy Joel and Billy Gibbons at Madison Square Garden
On March 26, 2023, at Madison Square Garden, Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top joined Billy Joel for a memorable performance of 'La Grange' and 'Tush.' At this point in his career, Gibbons was celebrating more than five decades of music with ZZ Top, a band known for its unique blend of blues rock and Southern boogie. Just prior to this live performance, ZZ Top had released their album 'Raw,' a collection highlighting their iconic sound, showcasing the band's timeless appeal. Interestingly, ZZ Top is often recognized not just for their music, but for their signature style, particularly the famous beards of Gibbons and Dusty Hill, which have become cultural icons. This collaboration at MSG—part of Joel's ongoing residency—illustrates how Gibbons continues to thrive and connect with fans, keeping the spirit of rock alive in a modern setting.
