RIP Dusty.
Saw them at Wembley Arena in late 80's, The Eliinator Tour, brilliant live, and the laser show of the Eliminator projecting onto a screen half way down the arena, starting as a dot in the distance and driving through the girls sun tanned legs was amazing.
Really got into their early music after that.

Saw ZZ Top in 1983 on the Eliminator tour at Hammersmith Odeon - absolutely brilliant.

Yes, sometimes the more commercial albums by a group can be the perfect catalyst for someone to go and check out their earlier stuff. As a big Metallica fan it bores my tits off when uber fans decry the Black album as a sell out. It's a brilliantly accessible album that bought in lots of new fans who then checked out previous albums.

Very sad. I only saw them relatively recently in July 2019 at Wembley Arena. Most know of them from their 80's videos and commercial rock stuff, but their origins in the blues was just amazing to hear. RIP Dusty.
