On June 3, 1986, that “lil’ ol’ band from Texas” returned to Portland for their 5th appearance at the Cumberland County Civic Center. ZZ Top brought along their futuristic melding of blues guitar and dance beats to the stage for the first of two sold-out nights.
We remember some dancers from Mark's Showplace joined Billy, Dusty, and Frank onstage for the song, Give It Up. A hot couple January nights in Blimpville was just the 'voodoo healin' we all needed.
