06/23/2018 ZZ Top, John Fogerty, Ryan Kinder (Canandaigua, NY @ CMAC)
By Eric Bonus | June 25, 2018 11:58 am
ZZ Top is the band I have the earliest memories of, as I can clearly recall Dad spinning Eliminator (on vinyl!) at our old house when I was about four years old. Seeing the videos for all those singles over the years on MTV didn’t hurt either, let alone the fact that the band is just flat-out great. So not for lack of opportunity, as they’ve come around pretty regularly, but I finally got to see ZZ Top! I tried to convince the parents to come with me, but no dice on that front, so rolling solo I managed to get a front row ticket, albeit on the far right-hand side, but front row nonetheless. Being a passing CCR fan, having John Fogerty on the bill also was pretty nice. I got pretty lucky parking-wise, picking the right (and correct!) lane and then putting the car on some guys front lawn on the corner of Lakeshore and Moran. Got in, got a brew, and sat down for the opener, Ryan Kinder. I’m sure the guy is talented, but when it’s just a guy, a guitar, and a backing track, I’m instantly unimpressed. As I said on Facebook: “So the first “band” on for ZZ Top and John Fogerty is this guy Ryan Kinder, with a female accompanist singer, and a GODDAMN BACKING TRACK. No bass player, no drummer. WTF is this shit? FOH with this nonsense.”
So he got his half-hour or so, and then John Fogerty was next. He had a ton of energy, his band sounded great, and they played a very lengthy setlist that included a bunch of CCR in addition to his solo stuff – Fogerty has hits for days. He brought out his son (who is in the band) to sing Good Golly Miss Molly, and then Billy Gibbons came out to play a new song called “Holy Grail” that was pretty cool. All around solid set and I’m very happy to have gotten to see him!

Now it was time for that Little Ol’ Band From Texas! Just like with John Fogerty, it was all hits, all the time. It’s not like they have a bad song in the catalog anyway. Got Me Under Pressure was a cool opener, I personally love I’m Bad, I’m Nationwide, and I Gotsta Get Paid was pretty sweet too. Could not go wrong, they sounded awesome, and 4-year old me would have been proud.
