On December 9th, 2022, ZZ Top brought their Raw Whisky Tour to The Venetian Theatre in Las Vegas – and gave fans a moment they’ll never forget. During Got Me Under Pressure, bassist Elwood Francis walked onstage with a comically oversized 17-string bass guitar. It wasn’t just a sight gag – Elwood handled the monster instrument like a pro, adding an unexpected burst of humour to ZZ Top’s signature blues-rock swagger.
