Yes, that really is ZZ Top
ZZ Top played the prom at Little Cypress-Mauriceville High School, in Orange Texas in May of 1970 just a few months before their first album “ZZ Top’s First Album” was released on January 16, 1971.
The band tried to get out of the contract, as their fame was just starting to grow, but the school couldn’t find a replacement on such short notice so they honored the contract and played their only Prom performance here.
