ZZ Top & Al Caldwell Honored With Stars On Walk Of Fame At Ford Park

The first ZZ Top show was held in Beaumont in 1970, booked by legendary radio announcer Al Caldwell.

Now 37 years later, ZZ Top returned, thanks to Al Caldwell's son.

Promoters Steve Caldwell and Brent Coon brought back the rock trio to the area for a concert Saturday night at the Ford Park amphitheater.

The group attracted a record-breaking crowd last time they performed at the Ford Pavillion.

Saturday afternoon, ZZ Top and Al Caldwell were honored with commemorative stars on the Southeast Texas Walk Of Fame at Ford Park.

They will join other hometown stars like Janis Joplin, George Jones, and Tracy Byrd on the walkway, but ZZ Top is the first band to receive a star.
