I was just thinking I should buy tickets to their upcoming September show in town since I never got to see them. RIP Dusty.

Just saw that.

RIP, sir.

Finally got to see them a couple years ago. Great show - man, Dusty and BFG were just telepathically locked together. 50+ years with the same lineup.

Aw man. I’m so bummed.

Sorry to hear that. I only got to see the Top when they toured with Kid Rock.

 

[veinbuster]

What the!

 

[SinSir]

That sucks. One of the few bands I always wanted to see live but never did. RIP Dusty

This sucks! Getting tired of it... Last week was Robby Steinhardt, and you all know how much I love Kansas.

RIP

I saw them on the tour when Cheap Sunglasses came out. Couldn’t believe three guys could fill an arena like that.

RIP, have a safe journey to the Pearly Gates.

I have fond memories of learning how to play stuff from Antenna. It was around the time I picked up the guitar and was able to struggle my way through some of the riffs. Great times. My second ever concert was seeing them on that tour. There was just no denying the mojo. Rest easy, Dusty. My thoughts go out to his fans, friends, and family.

R.I.P Dusty.

Just covered "Cheap Sunglasses" 2wks ago with one of my bands!

So sad.

One of my favorite Rock stories is how the Zombies became a huge hit in the states after they'd already disbanded back in England so an American promoter decided to field a fake Zombies band in 1969 and send them an a US tour (without the actual Zombies knowledge or permission or audience knowledge that they weren't THE Zombies from the records). Two of the four men on the pretend Zombies: Frank Beard ad Dusty Hill.

Eventually the real Zombies figured it out and broke up the fakers so Hill and Beard formed a new band with Billy Gibbons in 1970. And that band stuck around for 50 years.

RIP Dusty Hill
