I'm 57 and have been lucky enough to have met Mr Gibbons:::: you NEVER NEVER forget a day like that:: The Exxon station on 61st street in Galveston in the early 80s::: I have played guitar for 35 yrs::: Those 3 are the GREATEST entertainers of ALL TIME!!!!
Hey that is going to where The Balinese used to stand on Seawall Blvd.I took photos of it before Hurricane Ike dropped it in the Gulf of Mexico. I was down there taking photos of where my Great-grandfather's brother came ashore in Jan.1st,1863 and whipped the yankee invaders and took back Galveston Island. I had a few more exposures on my camera,so l rolled down to the Balinese and used up the roll. I hope l still have the negatives, to blow up a shot,and frame it. First time I saw ZZ was in Dallas before this show. Dec.27th,1981,a cold ass day.They played 2 shows that night.The following day Billy Bob's in Foat Wurth.El Loco was a killer show.No opening act.
I saw them live the same year as this show. They were absolutely amazing that show. Saw them again a few years back but no where as good as back in the day. They still rocked but no where near the energy level as in 1982. RIP Dusty! 😢 Welcome aboard Elwood 👍
That's awesome there's like 10 year olds walking around guys that are trying to make the fire... back then man it was a different life it was more free.
Wow, uploads like this make me thankful for CZcams to be around. ZZ Men on top of their game. Those days there was this sharpness, electricity on the way they played. Thats great to watch.
I was at Pinkpop that year, first time I saw ZZ Top, great concert, hot weather, also that day Y&T also great and Kid Creole and The Coconuts and Mink Deville (RIP).
functional You got that right BRO... I'm like you, can't sit still!!! It's crazy but when I get to that level, I usually tell girlfriends, brothers, sons, whoever; if I bother you get up and GROOVE with me or move to the side... ROCK ON
When I was in Jr high school in the 70`s at Blck Jr. high Houston Texas. There was this PE teacher named Coach Emet. He said he was the manager for ZZ Top.
+supafuckinmingster greatest? very good for 3 piece band -very entertaining if yer dancin',drinkin' but rather one dimensional . a party band fer sure!
No. Not one dimensional pal. Billy Gibbons is rated very highly for his guitaring in the world of guitars. Just ask as certain guitar novice by the name of Eric Clapton. I saw them June last and I was sober and they were awesome.
+supafuckinmingster you use Eric as a reference?..Clapton is the 'Pat Boone' of blues guitarists-I was talking about the top as one dimensional not Gibbons in particular but I stand by the comment.
+J.T. Bomar my being one dimensional is irrelevant -I'm not making any claims personally btw-Clapton is a rock /blues guitarist to be technical -peace -from a lime aid standeteer.
Of course when talking about ZZTOP, lights focus on Billy Reverend Gibbons. But look at the importance of Dusty Hill vocals. He was such a good singer. I don't know how they will manage to sing his parts now that he is gone.
I went to see them every time they came to North Carolina. I thought they were going to blow the doors off the park center in Charlotte one night. We were cruising, we left the farm!
I've been there. They were fantastic! Even my kids like them (their favorite is la Grange). This is something different than Juistin Bieber at the next line up for Pink Pop. The world has changed indeed. Thank you for sharing some great rock music.
I really enjoy at least 85-90% of their songs. Someday I must sit down and count to see just how many there are... Got Me Under Pressure, TV Dinners, Lowdown In the Street et. al. Enjoy
all these years later that good energy still comes across loud 'n clear like watching a storm on the wide desert late night.... damn but they sure is a fine finer finest outfit thats stood the ravaging tests of time... thanks for uploading greetings from tasmania
i don't think so because iron maiden is stil rocking the planet and bruce is king because he still jumps the stage like a 25 year old, and i don;t see slade do the same.
Fuck Iron Maiden, they're overrated and too annoying for my taste! Not very original either. There was more heavier NWOBHM bands out at that time that kicked more ass than Maiden. But Maiden is heavy metal not hard rock n roll/blues like ZZ Top, so that's a different subject! Zz Top still kicks ass and tour these days too
This is a dang good live video ! Not too perfect....not too crappy. Just right. I can feel some of that Fandango vibe coming off the screen and through my speakers....
They sure make it look easy don't they. I just saw them again on Sep. 10 and I promise you, they still deliver!!!!! You folks should check another rocking trio from Texas; LOS LONELY BOYS
Thank you fellas, seen you 7 times... Well actually only 5, passed out at the Cow Palace during one show and the other was having "womens" problems and had to leave the arena before she got my ass arrested, lol... So yeah 5 times, loved them ALL... Miss you already Dusty - Godspeed my friend, is this Heaven Hell or Houston?! Keep on shuffling... Peace, Love and Texas forever and ALWAYS!
Dusty's vocals were never appreciated.!!!!! Dusty sang several of their songs......love you buddy..bass player to bass player.....much love.!!!..rip.
Never apreciated by who? By you? Speak for yourself....
Dusty was one powerful tenor!!!!!!!😮😮😮😮
Dusty had that traditional 70s rock voice. They were great songs by his voice didn't stand out from the crowd Billy's did
Rest in Heaven Dusty!

ZZ Top, show us musicians that a trio is still the best. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🙉🙊🙈😎😺🎸😶🌫️
Took my 11 year old daughter to her first concert last summer. Of course it had to be that little old band from Texas.
The only band that lived for driving the music instead of waiting on a bus. RIP Dusty Hill.
FKN A
They are hilarious to watch. They had so much energy back in the day, we all did I guess LOL
Lots of bands play boogie, but ZZ Top OWNS it!
Dusty's bass is absolutely gorgeous. I'd love one.
I've always loved this band. One of the greatest in the world.
Billy :D
IMO, Frank is one of the most Underrated drummers in rock. Always solid, never over plays, but can if he wants to. :D Heard it on the X
Frank is always solid. Keeps the groove grooving!!!!
Good to see how everybody was slim and trimmed those days,,,,
Billy's riff's are just incredible
@@jimr5793 Billy as in Billy Gibbons riffs as in the way he plays guitar
God Bless Texas and ZZ Top. If your feet ain't a tappin' you ain't a livin'
Devil's music, no?
if this video had 1 billion views. the world would be a much better place. such a great video.
Man the boys had so much energy still. They lost that crazy young energy not too many years later. Rip Dusty.
LOVE THESE BOYS,, THEY HAVE BEEN AROUND SINCE THE DAY i WAS BORN.,.
The REAL deal.
I saw them live the same year as this show. They were absolutely amazing that show. Saw them again a few years back but no where as good as back in the day. They still rocked but no where near the energy level as in 1982. RIP Dusty! 😢
Welcome aboard Elwood 👍
They are 40 years older, nobody will have this much energy after 40 years, LOL.
That's awesome there's like 10 year olds walking around guys that are trying to make the fire... back then man it was a different life it was more free.
I seriously think ZZ Top could play Pinkpop today, and make every single act that had to follow them be VERY nervous.
They could.
I think the same.
Doubt it. They cancel more shows than they play.
I think that they should be top of the bill if they would return to Pinkpop.
YES !! Real nervous 🤣😎
I never Heardrock Music that damn gooooood, and I never Will , 65 this year.
My second year in the Air Force of a four year stint. These Guys define. COOL ! The three of them really Bring It
Best Concert on CZcams! Great to see ZZ Top play in broad daylight!
Che forti gli zz top,Bill e Dusty sono forti,mi spiace che Dusty ha lasciato questo mondo era un bravo bassista🎸r.i.p 🙏🌹
Fuckin A+!!! Damn I'm proud to be from Texas....home of the best fucking rocknrollers on Earth! Awesome set!
Have mercy! I'm just waiting on the bus
To Texas that is you're fine!
Heaven is definitely rockin & rollin Texas style! Fly high brother 🤠😎✝️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Wow, uploads like this make me thankful for CZcams to be around. ZZ Men on top of their game. Those days there was this sharpness, electricity on the way they played. Thats great to watch.
Рок 🎸 навсегда память на века всем ушедшим рокерам рок 🎸 рольщикам рокершам
Super group,legend group,love group 🙏🍀❤️🎶🎼🎵👌🎸✌️super concert.
I was at Pinkpop that year, first time I saw ZZ Top, great concert, hot weather, also that day Y&T also great and Kid Creole and The Coconuts and Mink Deville (RIP).
if you ain't figured out...ZZ at the Top are the coolest muther trio ever to sling a polyriff...never a shortage of groove...I can't sit still...
functional You got that right BRO... I'm like you, can't sit still!!! It's crazy but when I get to that level, I usually tell girlfriends, brothers, sons, whoever; if I bother you get up and GROOVE with me or move to the side... ROCK ON
amen
Double trouble w.srv, before wynans on organ. Certainly would have gave them a "run for their money"
I also like Budgie and early 70s Trapeze. Honorable mention to Rush and ELP. All great 3 piece bands in addition to ZZ
@@SwampyMusic ~ ZZ TOP and SRV....all Texas boys, so it's all good.
never got to see these guys live... I was born too late :( RIP DUSTY!!!
How could you NOT be having a good time with these 3?
Seriously.
Love ZZ Top. Always a party...and the Pearly Gate too😘
ZZ Top is #1 next to my mini-schnauzer, Da Bug Man. Bugsy
The sound from that lp is fantastic!
When I was in Jr high school in the 70`s at Blck Jr. high Houston Texas. There was this PE teacher named Coach Emet. He said he was the manager for ZZ Top.
Saw them this weekend. They still kick ass.
Only 128,453 views for this? The greatest band in the world???? What the fuck???????

He was such a good singer.
I don't know how they will manage to sing his parts now that he is gone.
For my money the greatest rock band EVER!!
Saw them in Berlin in June 2019.... they are like a good wine... still full of coolness and spirit
Just saw them last night in Nashville, they still got it!
Billy Gibbons Greatest Guitarman ever! Genius Playing, Never boring!!
Stop! 😂😂Not the greatest guitarist ever!
He's great but Rory takes top spot
DID U FORGET ABOUT SRV AND JEFF BECK,, WTF
Some Classy Texan Boogie Straight From The Roots ❤
seen them in Dallas! top 5 best concerts I have been at. I have seen a lot of concerts lol
I went to see them every time they came to North Carolina. I thought they were going to blow the doors off the park center in Charlotte one night. We were cruising, we left the farm!
Ik werd net wakker na een paar uurtjes hash slapen en top speelde zo ontiegelijk hard. dat is alles wat ik me herinner lol
Rest in peace Dusty Hill .not forgotten
I've been there. They were fantastic! Even my kids like them (their favorite is la Grange).

Thank you for sharing this video, I can see your eyes without glasses, and see the expression in Dusty's eyes, adorable.
Always loved the way Billy rips through the intro when they do this one live.
I was at this.. was stationed in Germany at the time... man talk about a throw back...
and a throw back.
Asozialer langbärtiger Blues Rock 🤘 😅
Thank you for this Video!
Andreas Hamburg Germany
The great Band of TEXAS
Leuk dat het er nog op youtube staat blijft een goeie Rock Band from Texas
That was KILLER
Now THIS is ROCKIN! ZZ TOP the way I remember em! ✨👏🏼😎✨
Rock & Roll Class . They Come To Play !
The greatest power trio ever!
Dusty’s finger are so short it’s a miracle to me he’s so good.
Saw them tonight. Still bringing it!
Dusty sang so good on Dequello and other songs. Love Billy and him switching up
I wish ZZ Top continued that "eccentric" style they had for a while.
For this I am proud to be Dutch.
outstanding, the best rnr band ever
Party on the Patio is one of my all time favorite ZZ songs. Saw them do it in Austin around 74 - 75(?) without the beards when I was in the service.
Jim Mzik that song came out in ‘81
Awesome performance and a great zz top era
Billy took the name of the festival litterally.
all these years later that good energy still comes across loud 'n clear like watching a storm on the wide desert late night.... damn but they sure is a fine finer finest outfit thats stood the ravaging tests of time... thanks for uploading greetings from tasmania
Awwwwww..... this made me smile!!!! Proud of my Texas boys!!!!
+Burnsengine they are all great...but Gibbs is tearin up on the "geetar"
Burnsengine HELL yeah that's what I'm talking about..............

Jimi Hendrix called Billy Gibbons one of the best guitar players he'd ever seen.
Great seeing them so animated!
Always jamming tunes with ZZTOP
That Lil' 'Ol Blues Band From Texas

Dusty 🇨🇱 Hill
Increíbles los amo ❤ZZTOP
Now this is a power trio!
Best rock band ever.
sorry best live rockband.. SLADE without any doubt blew every band off stage!
i don't think so because iron maiden is stil rocking the planet and bruce is king because
he still jumps the stage like a 25 year old, and i don;t see slade do the same.
Fuck Iron Maiden, they're overrated and too annoying for my taste! Not very original either. There was more heavier NWOBHM bands out at that time that kicked more ass than Maiden. But Maiden is heavy metal not hard rock n roll/blues like ZZ Top, so that's a different subject! Zz Top still kicks ass and tour these days too
are y'all having a joke? mentioning Iron Maiden and Slade on a ZZ Top live vid? Learn a thing or two about music, and get back in a couple years.
+macca63 Obviously, you've never seen Queen with Thin Lizzy opening.
This kicks ass.....this is rock and roll...
Rev.willie G always says more with less.....peace🎸🎸🎼🎵
They still are awsome. La Futura is a great record.
Billy Gibbons! ❤️😍 HAVE MERCY! 🥰🎸
Tres Hombre's was my first taste back in the day. first mexican food i'd ever seen as a 15yr old kid. both equally satisfying...
They are really swinging that shuffle for LaGrange
That Frank Beard's drum kit was the ultimate!!!
INCREDIBLY GOOD
Billllyyyyyy .... you're killing it / me .... unbelievable
This is a dang good live video ! Not too perfect....not too crappy. Just right. I can feel some of that Fandango vibe coming off the screen and through my speakers....
Intimate stage, no shades... they look so human ;-)
Best 3 piece ever!
great live band.
The Best band Of rock N roll
