Performer: ZZ Top
Engineer: Peter Barker Distributor: Fontana Distribution Notes: ZZ Top: Billy Gibbons (vocals, guitar, harmonica); Dusty Hill (vocals, keyboards, bass guitar); Frank Beard (drums, percussion). Released in 2008, shortly after the 25th-anniversary reissue of ELIMINATOR, this concert, also available on DVD, finds the hard-rocking Texas blues band ZZ Top performing before an enthusiastic crowd in its home state. While the trio draws from various points in its extensive back catalog, some of the show's most energetic moments come in its latter half, when bountifully bearded singer/guitarist Billy Gibbons leads the group through raucous hits from the abovementioned album, including "Sharp Dressed Man" and "Legs."
Blues-rock has rarely gotten more down and dirty than with Texas's famous long-bearded trio ZZ Top. Billy Gibbons, Frank Beard, and Dusty Hill are responsible for some of the greatest party anthems of all time. They produced a number of 1970s rock classics, and in the '80s they managed to adapt successfully to changing times, scoring hits with a souped-up, synth-flavored sound. Eventually, though, they got back to their gritty, bluesy roots, and in 2004 ZZ top's contribution to rock & roll was officially recognized via their induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
