ZZ Top and Lynyrd Skynyrd will perform as the headliners at MGK's Big Gig 2023 as part of the Sharp Dressed Simple Man Tour.
The annual celebration of Philly's best classic rock station will take place at Freedom Mortgage Pavilion on the Camden Waterfront on September 17, 2023. Tickets are on sale now to see the tour's only stop in the Philadelphia area.
ZZ Top
“That Little Ol’ Band From Texas” formed in 1969, and they exploded four years later with the release of Tres Hombres featuring hits like “La Grange” and “Waitin’ For The Bus/Jesus Just Left Chicago.”
Eliminator in 1983 featured some of their most recognizable hits like “Gimme All Your Lovin’” and “Sharp Dressed Man.”
When you think of ZZ Top, you probably picture a bunch of impressively groomed beards and fine-tuned automobiles. Billy Gibbons has the rock star look about him, and he’ll certainly rock the stage at Big Gig like it's still the 1970s.
The Sharp Dressed Simple Man Tour
The two Rock & Roll giants have begun the cleverly-named "Sharp Dressed, Simple Man Tour." The name is an homage to one hit single from each of the two bands. Their first tour together will include stops in 22 cities in the United States. They’ll save the best for last, as MGK Big Gig will be their final show.
ZZ Top and Lynyrd Skynyrd, with special guest Uncle Kracker, kicked off the tour on Friday, July 21 at the iTHINK Financial Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach, Florida. The setlists from both bands included some of their biggest hits. However, they also did an excellent job of mixing in some of their lesser-known work.
Their trip to Freedom Mortgage Pavilion in September will continue a tradition that’s become the signature event of 102.9 WMGK.
Take a peek at the ZZ Top setlist from the tour’s first show to warm up. Then, move over to hear Lynyrd Skynyrd’s setlist next.
1. Got Me Under Pressure
She likes the art museum, she don't like Pavlov's dog
She fun at the mind museum, she likes it in a London fog
She don't like other women, she likes whips and chains
She likes cocaine and filppin' out with great Danes
She's about all I can handle, it's too much for my brain
2. I Thank You
You didn't have to shake it but you did
But you did but you did
And I thank you.
You didn't have to make it like you did
but you did but you did
And I thank you.
3. Waitin' For the Bus
Have mercy, old bus be packed up tight
Well, I'm glad just to get on and home tonight

Then out to California through the forests and the pines
Ah, take me with you, Jesus
5. Gimme All Your Lovin'
Gimme all your lovin'
All your hugs and kisses too
Gimme all your lovin'

6. Pearl Necklace
She was really bombed
And I was really blown away
Until I asked her what she wanted
And this is what she had to say
7. I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide
Well, I was rolling down the road
In some cold blue steel
I had a blues man on the back
And a beautician at the wheel
We going downtown
In the middle of the night
We laughing and I'm joking
And we feeling alright
8. I Gotsta Get Paid
I got 25 lighters on my dressa, dressa
You know I gotta get paid

I keep thinkin' 'bout that night in Memphis
I thought I was in Heaven
But I was stumblin' thru the parking lot
Of an invisible seven eleven
10. Sixteen Tons
You load 16 tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
St. Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
11. Just Got Paid
I should grow up some day 'cause I got bills to pay
I can't be waking up at someone else's place
I know I drink too much, can't pay my rent this month
I should be saving up, but
I just got paid
I'm broke, but I'm balling
Don't know where we're going
We go in when we go out
12. Sharp Dressed Man
Clean shirt, new shoes
And I don't know where I am goin' to
Silk suit, black tie (black tie)
I don't need a reason why
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
'Cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp-dressed man
13. Legs
Every time she's dancin', she knows what to do
Everybody wants to see if she can use it
She's so fine, she's all mine
14. Brown Sugar
My friends, they all told me

Gotta have that brown sugar
Man, it's just gonna change my life

She kinda funky with her pink and black socks, she likes to boogie
She do the tube snake boogie
16. La Grange
Rumor spreadin' 'round
In that Texas town
About that shack outside La Grange
And you know what I'm talkin' about
Just let me know if you wanna go
To that home out on the range
They got a lot of nice girls
