Trivia: Where did ZZ Top play its first show together?

I heard this mentioned on one of the Houston Classic Rock stations the other day.

 

from Chron.com

 

On this date in February 1970 (February 15), ZZ Top played at a Knights of Columbus Hall on old U.S. 90, a gig booked by Beaumont radio personality Al Caldwell of KLVI, who would later also broadcast the band's first recordings.

This would be the band’s first show together with their now-iconic lineup of Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill and Frank Beard installed. Gibbons started the band in late 1969 and the pieces soon came together.
