ZZ Top concert chronology

The Hollywood Blues Tour was a concert tour by 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 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".
