“Dusty Hill, Frank Beard, and Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top) playing the Senior
Prom in May, 1970 at Little Cypress-Mauriceville High School in Orange,
Texas. Apparently sometime between signing the contract to play and the
actual prom itself, the band broke-out big. They tried to get out of the
prom, but the school couldn’t find a replacement on such short notice
so ZZ Top still performed…people were climbing through the windows,
crashing the prom, just to hear the band play. This was all at a really
small school with a graduating class of around 100, maybe less.”
