The '''Hollywood Blues Tour''' was a [[concert tour]] through the United States and Canada, undertaken by American [[Rock music|rock]] band [[ZZ Top]]. Named after a warm-up show at the [[House of Blues]] in [[West Hollywood, California]], the tour was their second of which to be staged without a supporting album. As a result, they did not perform any newer material. Although this was a criticism for the tour, it was generally well-received—a critic from ''[[The Florida Times-Union]]'' regarded the band as "one of rock's most reliable acts; you just know they're going to put on a good show". In contrast to ZZ Top's elaborately-staged productions from previous tours, the Hollywood Blues Tour utilized an austere stage setup. To embrace the group's renowned concept of visual imagery, the stage featured an [[LED]] drape for a backdrop video screen that showed visual effects, video clips and flashing text phrases, along with amplifiers stacks and a [[Van de Graaff generator]].
The '''Hollywood Blues Tour''' was a [[Concert#Concert tour|concert tour]] by [[Rock music|rock]] band [[ZZ Top]]. The tour visited indoor and outdoor theaters, stadiums, and arenas in the United States and Canada. Whereas ZZ Top were known for their elaborate tour setups in the 1970s, the Hollywood Blues Tour was largely visual and stripped down; the stage featured a large video screen for a backdrop that showed visual effects and clips from the group's [[MTV]] music videos. Like their previous tour, each of the Hollywood Blues shows did not feature any newer songs, which served as one of the only criticisms for the tour.


Consisting of just two legs and 87 shows, the tour began in [[Boca Raton, Florida]] on March 12, 2007 and finished in [[Miami, Oklahoma]] on October 27, 2007. After the first leg, the tour was expanded for a summer tour with the [[Stray Cats]] and [[The Pretenders]], which was branded as "Summer Scorcher", and continued solo through October. With a total gross of $17.8 million, Hollywood Blues sold over 380,000 tickets at its conclusion. A portion of the tour is shown in the [[Eagle Rock Entertainment|Eagle Rock]] 2009 concert film ''[[Double Down Live]]''. Although the tour evoked a variety of responses from music critics, it was mostly well-received—''[[The Florida Times-Union]]'' called ZZ Top "one of rock's most reliable acts; you just know they're going to put on a good show".
Consisting of three legs and 87 shows, the tour began in [[Boca Raton, Florida]] on March 12, 2007 and ended in [[Miami, Oklahoma]] on October 27, 2007.

With a total gross of $17.8 million, Hollywood Blues sold over 380,000 tickets at its conclusion. The band's 2008 live album and DVD ''[[Live from Texas]]'' was filmed and recorded during a show in [[Grand Prairie, Texas]] after the tour's conclusion. A portion of the tour is shown in the [[Eagle Rock Entertainment|Eagle Rock]] 2009 concert film ''[[Double Down Live]]''.

ZZ Top concert chronology

The Hollywood Blues Tour was a concert tour through the United States and Canada, undertaken by American rock band ZZ Top. Named after a warm-up show at the House of Blues in West Hollywood, California, the tour was their second of which to be staged without a supporting album. As a result, they did not perform any newer material. Although this was a criticism for the tour, it was generally well-received—a critic from The Florida Times-Union regarded the band as "one of rock's most reliable acts; you just know they're going to put on a good show". In contrast to ZZ Top's elaborately-staged productions from previous tours, the Hollywood Blues Tour utilized an austere stage setup. To embrace the group's renowned concept of visual imagery, the stage featured an LED drape for a backdrop video screen that showed visual effects, video clips and flashing text phrases, along with amplifiers stacks and a Van de Graaff generator.

Consisting of three legs and 87 shows, the tour began in Boca Raton, Florida on March 12, 2007 and ended in Miami, Oklahoma on October 27, 2007. After the first leg, the tour was expanded for a summer tour with the Stray Cats and The Pretenders, which was branded as "Summer Scorcher". With a total gross of $17.8 million, Hollywood Blues sold over 380,000 tickets at its conclusion. The band's 2008 live album and DVD Live from Texas was filmed and recorded during a show in Grand Prairie, Texas after the tour's conclusion. A portion of the tour is shown in the Eagle Rock 2009 concert film Double Down Live.
