'Nasty Dogs and Funky kings' is still my favourite ZZ Top track. It's short, mean and powerful! Perfect!!

I saw them live at Donington in 1985. It was at the height of their 'Eliminator' popularity.
Their arrival was announced by a helicopter flying over the venue with that hot rod dangling from it (I bet health and Safety would have something to say about that these days).
They were just brilliant, and probably the loudest band I've ever heard, especially considering it was outdoors. A good day out for rock fans I think, supported by Marillion, Metallica and Magnum.
At that time, Frank Beard was the only one without one
I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in

You missed Bon Jovi, who were on before Marillion.I saw them live at Donington in 1985. It was at the height of their 'Eliminator' popularity.

And Ratt ....
Marillion were rubbish, and Metallica had yet to record their first (and possibly only) decent album ....

I only remember the names that began with 'M', and I was a bit dazed and confused that day. I agree about Marillion. I didn't see much of them, I went for a shit or something.

That has got the kick to it, no doubt. Probably shouldn't have left 'Fandango' out actually, but it's not one to start with I don't think.

You missed out half of the decent stuff they recorded.
Fandango ...
Tejas .....
El Loco ....
and then, when you should have stopped at Eliminator, you went on to mention stuff post Eliminator.
