ZZ Top at Madison Square Garden, Oct 16, 2009

Why on earth isn't there any more mention of Chicago 16th?? Or maybe I'm just blind, I guess.

Wait, he’s actually not on the list!!! Are you kidding me???

I suppose this might be the reason

Seriously, what a total mess!!!

Man, they’ve got Crypto.com Arena, for crying out loud. 😢

dammit😢

Look, Madison Square Garden isn't exactly the only arena in the entire US; I can certainly find somewhere else to play a show

So what’s even the point of having an arena then??? Seriously, they were hyping up U2 a year in advance, but for these guys, there isn't even a whisper about a show, and honestly, they're way better!

We might actually be able to pack out Crypto.com Arena 🤷

Chloe Mendoza82 said:I find myself wondering, what exactly is the purpose of Madison Square Garden, anyway? I mean, seriously, if you look at how they handled U2—they were practically shouting about that tour from a year out—yet when it comes to this group, there isn't even a whisper of a concert date on the horizon. And let’s be honest, aren't these guys significantly better? It makes you wonder about the logic behind it all, doesn't it?

If only they were actually good now... wouldn't that just be something? 🤔 But honestly, they really are an incredible band, aren't they? It makes you wonder if it wouldn't actually be worth the trip just to see them live.

Dennis Lee87 As if I hadn't already suspected as much, doesn't it? It’s almost funny how predictable things can become when you stop looking at the surface and start watching the patterns unfold, isn't it? One might argue that we should have seen this coming from a mile away, yet here we are, staring at the same old results as if they were some kind of shocking revelation. Is it really all that surprising, or are we just collectively deciding to ignore the obvious?
Perhaps we might actually manage to fill up Madison Square Garden for once, don't you think? 🤷

It’s just two of them, really—though honestly, who can even begin to fathom the sheer level of idiocy driving their reasoning? 🤷

Sure, they might even sell out, especially since they're playing at Madison Square Garden, and honestly, that venue is way bigger than anything you'd find in New York.

They shouldn't have even bothered playing here—they're already hitting Vienna anyway.

And let’s be real, even if ZZ Top came to New York City, they wouldn't fill up Madison Square Garden. Sad, but true...🙂

How on earth do you know they're playing in Vienna?

maybe ^^

Honestly, this is just pointless...

It’s honestly such a shame that we don't have any decent venues available here.

The folks at Madison Square Garden won't host them because the organizers are terrified of a half-empty house—that's the real reason!

How tragic...

Well, I guess if it only takes you about an hour to get to Vienna, what's the big deal then?

The official site lists Moscow and Athens on the schedule:

Look, I’m not even bringing that up because personally, I don't mind a five or six-hour trek to Washington, D.C.; if I’ve already decided I want to go, the travel time is pretty much irrelevant to me.

My point is actually much more biting than that—it's that we are in such a pathetic state of affairs that we can't even manage to pull together a decent-sized concert with a whole month of lead time? It’s honestly embarrassing.
