Dusty was one badass bassist with a monster tone, but criminally underrated as a vocalist.
That is because Billy hogged the mic.
How was he underrated ? He sang alot of zztops stuff
@@chupacabra4897 Half of the people who'll sing along with ZZ Too songs think Billy is the singer and don't even know that Dusty sang anything.
@@papawoody9597no they don't . Just because you just now figured it out doesn't mean half the people are as retarded as you are
Nobody who liked ZZ Top thought he was underrated.
RIP 4 Ever King Dusty!! A true American Bad-Ass Rock and Roll Shit kicker
I love his vocals and to me this is the pinnacle of ZZ Top. There are talented people today but I just don't think they will ever be as cool as 1980 ZZ Top.
For all the youngsters out there lost in the meta verse.
That’s called music!!!
k boomer
@@ramonmoreno8014 Get Bent Loser.
hell yeh!!
You got that right!
The X is located in our hometown in Acuña, coahuila, México. The radio station still there but now it has a different type of music and the frequency ain't as powerful as back in those days. Grande ZZ top! Heard on the X!
I love to here it's still going. Thanks Seres
I even heard XERF-AM in Northwestern Siberia of Russia.
And the Mexican Blackbird
Ok, I just got chills
Viva Mexico brother 😁👍👍👍
My all time favorite ZZ song to get me effin AMPED! What energy from young Dusty!
This is pure dirt, dust bowl, Rock N Roll. A punch in the teeth, and no water to wash out with...... luv it !! 👍🎸🤪
This was ZZ Top at their peak---an absolutely BLISTERING performance--they were on fire that night!! (ALL the tunes from their Rockpalast show are spectacular!!)
Hill,Beard,Gibbons and Gates -zztop.
@@craigusselman546That's Miss Pearly Gates!
RIP, Dusty. Thanks for the always righteous and never-ending heavy grooves. Can't really imagine a world without ZZ Top.
Love this Live Version! Great Performance all the way around. I've been listening to ZZ Top since I was around 13 year's old and I am now almost 63 year's old. Fifty year's and counting. R.I.P. Dusty Hill. You were one of the Best Bass Guitarist there ever was.🎸 You are and will be missed by so many 😔
Dusty Hill , RIP. What an absolute badass!!
Frank Beard rips on this song, love him !!
That snare sounds like 10m bux
We still hear you Dusty, now and forevermore. R.I.P.
Came up listening to them in Northwest Dallas, Texas. Late 70's and 80's. I'll go to my grave loving ZZ TOP!!😎
One of my all time favorites!!
To quote a wiseman: one of the best rock n roll songs ever written
Damn! The Bad Boys from Texas sound even better live than on the studio recording! Viva el ZZ!!!
In concert they were worth every penny ! THEY ROCKED IT HARD
I remember seing this concert televised live from Germany, when I was a teenager. Blew me away. Rockpalazt was the *shit* back then - they had just awesome concerts with awesome bands, and it was televised live all over Europe for something like 12 hours straight. Ahh... those were the days.
This is what I was looking for. Where was this? Had anyone ever heard of this little ole band from Texas?
I got the chance to see them a year later in the Cotton Bowl. But, I'd love to hear how they were heard in Germany and wherever else they went in Europe. Were they backing up someone? They were Band2 on the Rolling Stones tour here.
@@cactusflintheadYep, with The Fabulous Thunderbirds opening the show on Halloween & November 1st.
It rained on Halloween, l went the next day and wandered around outside the Cotton Bowl listening to TFT, ZZTOP. I prefer the middle era of The Stones with Mick Taylor,so l burnt off early.
Their best album by far Fandango!! I have so many stories of when i was 16-17 when this first came out. So many great parties with this blairing in the back ground. MAN I MISS THOSE DAYS! Day when you could party like it was 1975! Sorry kids you all missed out.
Yes indeed. We used to party at the Moon Tower.
It was there best. I saw them
In 1975 at The felt forum NY. Madison Square Garden. They played till after midnite. What a concert. Fandango tour.
Yeah man..I'm 61...I was there
I was there .
yes they did ....
RIP Dusty...doesn't get any more filthy than this, in ANY genre of music. 🤘🤘
Dusty had such a solid, melodic voice, and sang backups strong and always perfect harmony. I look at him as a predecessor to guys like Michael Anthony. He paved that ground of a strong, melodic, single harmonizing voice in hard rock setting. Very underestimated as a bassist. His lines were very active and solid, had almost a synth tone it was so consistently played. One of the best rock bottoms ever. In the documentary he comes across as just a solid, down to Earth guy who knew who he was and what he was capable of. Truly a loss.
That bass tone was amazing live.
Right, Billy's 59 LP don't sound too bad either.
Why the bass is a lot better than most bands Billy gibbons uses a technique that jimi Hendrix taught him when he was 18 to place his thumb on the 5th and 6th strings to give the electric guitar a little more bass tone really helps dusty big time easy to learn give it a try
What a powerhouse bass player The Dust was. And the way he merged bass to lead. While playing bass and rhythm at the same time..... Wow. Wow. I pray Dusty Hill is in Heaven, banging and plucking at the strings of a special made bass guitar by none other than Jesus Christ Himself.
@@mountainbikelife2526I would say, almost like the rhythm guitar track of "My Head's in Mississippi" where he does something similar (not the same strings exactly but it does give off that tone as you said)
Dusty Hill is a badass!
Underrated
True that
This rocks as hard as anything has ever rocked
I never would have guessed they had this much energy on stage once upon a time.
Just fantastic!!
youth plus cocaine helps a lot
Yes sir very much a let down when you see them now
@@paulfloyd123 Go run mile and we'll meet back here in 40 years and have you do it again and see how "let down" you are.
They are 70. They still play very tight. A true fan would figure this out
Sill do
A friend of mine met them in a hotel years ago, and said look up "Class Act" and you will see ZZ Top.. Said all 3 were there greatest guys
One of The Best Live Performances Thankz for Sharin'!
The space in their music ! How can they give the feeling of so much space and movement,. exactly like the Texas ?
Texas music lost another icon.
RIP Dusty, you will be missed.
All 3 are fantastic. Frank & Dusty are so in sync. Frank’s pedal work is amazing. I saw them on the “Deguello” tour, and it was a great show. Fun times in the late 70s.
Holy freakin shit that was unreal!!
Was a senior in HS around 76-77 and found an 8-Track of Tres Hombres in the cut out bin at the Walgreens. What the heck I thought, La Grange is pretty cool song.
Holy crap, from those first notes of Waiting for the Bus I became a fan. Decades later, that is still my favorite opening riff on any song.
These guys were an incredible band…especially live!!!
They played so good back then. Frank Beard was a rock solid drummer in his youth, he's gotten a little sluggish over time, dissent play the same anymore, that's why this footage is priceless...
I had the blessing of being at one of their concerts at Rupp in Lexington , KY. They sound just as good live and they put on a hell of a show . Brought the car on stag and "Leggs" girl. Everyone was standing
Two years. Billy and Dusty grew their beards with no knowledge of the other doing likewise during the break they took before re-forming to record Deguello. Every aspect of ZZ Top floors me. This performance here. OMMTHRFKNG! : ) It was captured perfectly on film. Love the shots of Frank here, especially when he smiles at the camera.
Three piece like none other. That's a whole lot sound coming from tres hombres!
As good as the Reverend is, people tend to forget how good a singer Dusty Hill is.
Shit
That whole band is amazing
@@roypellerin6892 I'm gutted. One of the few bands I never got to see live.
Gonna miss ole Dusty
I got to see them at the Tennessee state fair in September of 1976 Fandango album and the worldwide Texas tour...it was awesome LaGrange and Tush to end the night!
XEROK aka X Rock 80, Juarez, Mexico. Most powerful station in the southwest back in the day.
Border blaster
Man, do I miss early ZZ Top! So very underrated and lost classics!
Hell Ya !!! That's the ZZTop I grew up on. Bring'n that Texas Heat !!!! Damn...
Amazing....High Quality Killer Video, vintage 1980, from THEE MASTERS...can't beat the sound!
Hell of a riff, damn!
Saw them live in 81 I finally got my hearing back around 3 the next day 😆 great concert loverboy opened for them.
my brother brought home the Fandango Album in the late 70's and I was hooked for ever!
I still have it on vinyl :D
RIP Dusty, rock and roll royalty
I watched this with friends in Cologne on TV 1980.
Good memories, good feelings and a GREAT PARTY! ;0)
Thanks for posting!!!
Awesome! This version kicks ass!
Franky absolutely in the pocket ... provides the canvas for Billy G. & Dusty to paint the tones.
Thanks Mike - this is the rawest most awesome version for sure!
I wish I could even come close to these guys musically, at least I can watch them over and over again, you gotta love you tube. I used to have to travel to the big cities to even buy a good piece of music. Now it's right at my fingertips.
Let your ears follow Dusty during this song. Man, what a ride...that tone and tightness is off the charts. The glue
Just DeaD ON BAD ASS Gut Punching Rock and Roll! Hell Yeah....
When I was a teenager in Oregon I used to try and see if my old Philco stand up radio would pick up the X on a Skip signal on Friday nights with Wolf Man Jack as the DJ
jammed to the max ..love love love this ...
Que bonita.
Dusty Hill stood next to the Reverend Willy G in front of Frank Beard for 50 YEARS and held his own . Dusty brought the bottom for that lil' 'ol band from texas like it was His Job ! But Dusty Hill had swag and style besides underrated bass chops that were like Texas thunder first you heard it and then you felt it ! This song and "Viva las Vegas" show real vocaltalent too ! I am so glad I was able to see them over a dozen 1973 until the last show of 1979 on New Years eve in Dallas R.I.P Rock On
Saw em live in 2017, they still got it.
Way underrated and slept on
Godamn we love you Dusty. Texas just got a whole lot smaller. RIP my dude.
0:09 What a tone from that LP. Superb considering it was 40 years ago.
LP thru Marshall SL = timeless!
Fantastic.. I thank gods of blues who allowed all of us to Achard this music ! Rip sir, Dusty you’re the greatest !
What a powerful sound !
Great quality! Thanks German television and uploader :)
Dusty Hill , the best blues bassist ..love his work !
Their rythem section = super tight
Frank Beard is a Wizard
Wow . just WOW. 3 men made all that sound.
Dusty wrote amazing lyrics im grateful i seen ZZTOP Live twice with dusty on bass
Holy fork, they're awesome!! And frank beard playing like a ghost... so relaxed, barely moving but makin massive rhythm.
The stop at 1:23 just proves how tight they were - if you listen to later live performances of Heard it on the X they're not half as good as this one; they're both slower and sloppier.
@@olalmartins1248 Yes and Billy doing the main lyrics and Dusty coming in on Anywhere, y'all Everywhere, y'all I heard it, I heard it, I heard it on the X. That's actually the way they did it on the studio recording.
RIP Dusty Hill you will be missed !!!!!
Rest In Peace Dusty Hill !!
That's some growl Billy has got on that guitar tone.
Dusty was a great singer
listen to those bass and gtr tones!! Just rocking.
PRICELESS !!!! TO THIS DAY
SWEET....I Was There!!!!
Best chemistry and energy from a 3 piece band ! 🤘That little band from Texas 🤘
This song was definitely one of the heavy metal pioneers.
No, Texas blues not HM.
@@chriszelez7970 DIMEBAG loved the TOP
Is he still alive?
Uh, no. By the time this song was released in 1975, heavy metal was already in full bloom, so based on the date alone, you couldn't consider them pioneers. Also, this song has nothing in common with metal other than the heavily distorted guitar sound. It's basis is twelve bar blues.
I play thrash and death metal on guitar and this is one of my favorite songs of all time!!!
Vynikající muzika to je a hodně skvělá kapela
Always been my favorite by them
Me 2!
XRok80 Juarez, Mexico. Look it up, y'all. Cheers from Texas.
R.I.P. Dusty
Lol I remember hearing this in the tub when I was little brat !
Goodnight, Mr. Hill. Godspeed
soy chileno y adoro la musica que un dia escuche de joven. nunca muera el rock
All hail, Dusty H.
Жаль басиста зизи топ сильнейший рокер память на века
We miss ya, Dusty. Rest In Peace
I sure miss Dusty Hill
Go....Dusty...Go
Hey man Dusty Hill has always and still has really good soul singing vocals
Agree! FYI: Dusty Hill also sings lead on "Goin' Down to Mexico" and "Ten Dollar Man."
Rest in peace Dusty, God bless you.
PERFECT!!!
Another Rockpalast great -hah, what am I saying - amazingly great concert.
This time by that 'lil ol' band from Texas.
Excellent. RIP Dusty.
Been working on this song...dont want to half ass it on guitar.....need a Case of REDBULL to keep the tempo goin...man, what a band!! Long live ZZ TOP!!.
Either you got it or you don't. They set the bar pretty high.
Don't give up. Practice. Practice. Practice.
Notice Billy always wears long sleeve shirts and coats. Cuts down on the friction betwixt pick hand/wrist and guitar.
But you didn't learn that from me.
love that riff.
Man that is one difficult drumbeat to play
Steven W. Frank is a legend but never gets any kudos.
@@AndalusianIrish Agreed...the whole Tejas album is an awesome drumfest
The drums are smoking hot here.
Bad ass SONGXXX 🎼🎼🎸🎸 TOP 5 FAV... BY THEM
God they were tight in their prime I've been watching this video everyday since Dusty Died Rip Dusty and Thanks 😢💔
