To all of you who understand how great this is, this is one of the rocks greatest Performances .
Zero question. Dudes are absolutely on fkn 🔥
Hell yea
Hands down the nastiest, funkiest ,tightest band I ever had the pleasure of seeing live.
Completely agree. Franks just getting unnoticed yet carrying the whole band like it's nothing. I always come back and watch this performance because it's rock gold.
We know, we know for sure !
RIP Dusty Hill. Legend.
Dusty Hill absolutely crushing it with that bass. 10/10
My understanding is that he used the same rig as Billy but plugged a bass into it. Bass into a cranked Marshall is badass.
Yes itis😅
and as anyone who has seen them live will tell ya, his bass shook the foundations of venues world wide...talk about moving air!!! They are a force of nature live...lean, loud & mean...just like i like it!!! 😁
Yeeeeahhh
I've lost count on how many times I've enjoyed this.
I first watched 5 years ago. I tried a while back and couldn't find it and I think I wept. Now that it's back, it'll be a staple again. Bad ass as it gets.
ZZ Top is The Band
Little Ol Band from Texas
As many times as there are likes on this video?
Me too
Billy Gibbons has one of the greatest tones/phrasing of any guitarist in history; he has the ability to make a three piece band sound like an orchestra section...it is no wonder that he was one of Hendrix's favorites.
Hamcarver BOOM! You nailed it 👍
I despised Z Z Top as a teen as I was a snob and they were too Texas, ‘commercial’.
Now I worship them like Gods- I’ve never copied any guitarist in 40 years but I can play every one of Billy’s stock licks-
I’m proud and thrilled by that!
@@TharpaD probably like my counsin, he was 8 a perspective of an 8 year old smooth skin he thought they were unwashed heathens. but truth is he was.
I have had the pleasure of interviewing the good Reverend twice ... and he is as mystical and transcendent as you would expect. He's the real deal and you are spot on with your description of his style.
@Joey Balas You're right
Nasty Dogs is best ZZ song ever and this live version is beyond killer. It’s unholy !!
Seen the Boys 7 times in Colorado and 1 time at the Cheyenne Frontier Days. First time on 8/28/1975. Cool thing about ZZ is they never played any song the same way live. Miss The Dust.
He has to be the very most underapprecated guitarist ever period no one else and he's still doing hi a thing or shall I say Thang!
As obsessed as I am with Gibbons - I have to take my hat off to Beard and Hill. They just set up the most massive groove that any guitarist would be in heaven to play over. Beard is Zen-like in his control - and Dusty Hill......Man - that little dwarf dude is like Ghimli out of Lord of the Rings - utterly reliable, driving, awesome voice and WTF IS THAT SOUND! How does he sound so powerful and clear? Fingers like Steel Vises. You never feel the bottom drop out when the guitar goes to lead - the Bass just FILLS the sound spectrum.
Master of Drones ,well said, and I agree.
Perfectly stated!
Yes, you’re right! Incredible! They literally own every superlative adjective ever given to them. Truly live up to the hype. I’ll say again:”incredible!”
Dusty n Frank 👊 🤜
Nothing better than pre-Eliminator ZZ Top. Nothing. No dispute. These Rockpalast videos are pure gold.
“Nasty Dogs and Funky Kings” is the reason I bought “Fandango” so many years ago. This is really a treat! What a performance!
My first Rock Concert was Z Z TOP's Texas World Wide Tour, in 1976, at the Met Center in Bloomington, Minnesota. I was 14. I discovered the band on my brothers 8 track tapes, listening to the First Album, and Rio Grande Mud in the early 70's, and I have been listening now for 47 years. I Love this band's 70's music, more than words can possibly express. THANK YOU‼️🙏 Z Z TOP.
The green cross, black cross, heavy cross, music cross, love cross, the criss cross, the double cross, the old jive President cross, the smoking cross, the Cocaine cross!!
Back when Billy had eyes! Rockpalast is responsible for some of the best recordings of the time.
I snorted at that... "Back when Billy had eyes". Brilliant. 😂
Dusty is really nailin' that bottom down......
Jesus, when I was a kid I knew Lagrange, a few other hits. For years I've listend so much rock, blues, rock n'roll, metal, jazz, from the mainstream to the indies, from Zappa and Beefheart to Canned Heat and Lightnin' Hopkins, gone to jazz, classical... Listening to a LOT of great musicians without looking back at the ZZ Tops, thinking it was a good blues rock/rock band but didn't feel like listening deeper.
And tonight I stumbled upon an interview of Gibbons and thougt "oh I only know the great classics but how where they live?"
And oh, MAMA! So much to say, I almost have tears in my eyes discovering this live show. Pure class, fantastic sound, insane licks, arrangements... I'm so grateful. Sometimes you skip the basics only to be amazed at... well, 36 years old!
You got that goddamn right!
You've got time
Listen you all what amazes me is how much music is comming out of only Billey Dusty and Frank,you hear those two jams and its like hearing a 5 man band,but in reality,its only THAT LITTLE OL' BAND FROM HOUSTON TEXAS. ZZ TOP
UUUHH HULL HULL HULL HULL !!!!!!
Dusty's bass tone is absolutely stunning. Holding it down nice and nasty. Great jam band, always and forever.
Dusty's bass is so clear to hear in this video.
The studio version is awesome but this is fuqin badass.
This is the real ZZ Top. Dusty Hill lives in Baycliff, TX I used to open for them during the 90s on occasion. He was literally 3 doors down from me. Billy is awesome one on one jamming.
X Crow studio version of all their music is on point...
Sometimes the live versions outshine the studio versions as they get time to actually perfect the songs over a period of time playing the song live. There's a version of "Just got paid" from 1980 on CZcams that (in my opinion) is much better than the studio version!!!
@@darrinros1177 it was on the market for a long time, I understand that he finally sold it.
The problem is.. every time I listen to Billy.. I feel I should just quit playin. And that's after fifty years of twangin strings. The man is.. hellacious.
Erg Budster you cant quit. What whould billy say? As long as your trying you aint dying baby!! And screw the neighbors!!!
Same here; playin' 50 years doesn't make me Billy. I do guitar, mandolin, violin, banjo, keys, trumpet, clarinet, flute, percussion, and a number of odd ethnic instruments, but I can't play like that.
Man he’s one cool mutha, don’t quit man
I play many of his songs in our band. He has inspired many to pick it up. Can't put it down
Erg Budster HA!! Lol!! Quite the positive comment for Billy!!🔥🎸 But NEVER SAY DIE, Brother!! We ALL NEED something to aspire to! 50 years?!? Oh man, just KEEP🎸ON KEEPIN🎸ON!!
THIS live version kills every version i've seen or heard. Ive not seen them all but damn Dusty & Billy are freaking straight-up badasses for this one.
There's a live version on the flip side of ..wait I'll get back to you
My son was a doorman at "The Blue Iguana" in Houston back in the 90's. Billy Gibbons came to the door with his son
He didnt recognize him but they talked for awhile. Billy asking my son do you like this band ? I'am thinking on signing them. By this time people are coming over to him with tapes of their music. Billy says nice talking to you I'am gonna go hangout with my son. Billy had on a leather racing type jacket with letters that looked Asian. My son took a last look and it said ZZTOP. Later his boss said dont ever card Billy! I think that's the reason he talked to my son because he treated him like a regular guy.
After listening to rock n roll for 50 years, seeing ZZ TOP live About 7 times, I can say they are one of the greatest acts ever to play music.The style, the groove, the Texas look and feel are just priceless.
Without doubt!!!
@Mike Anderson I'm supposed to see them for the first time ever in a week and I also don't think that it's gonna happen... So bummed... Have loved them since I was a wee lad...They are so badass...
Mike Anderson,I like how you did a Homer Simpson at the end,I lol.
@Carl Pallini., Tell it Brah. Truth and Right On 🤜💥🤛
I only got to see them twice in concert. Every time I tried to buy tickets they would sell out in 30 minutes. PISSED ME OOOOFFF. Did get to see them for the DEGUELLO tour. Cheap Sunglasses live was fantastic. Saw them in a little hole in the wall in Austin called the ROME INN. They were a few tables over and we were watching some new kid called Little Stevie Vaughn.
One of the greatest examples of a monster 3 piece band at their finest.
Excellent put...
@Henrik Cream
@Henrik motorhead - no sleep til hammersmith live album. dirty 3 piece
I was watching this live show after coming home from a gig with my band back in 1980....I had no idea ZZ Top was going to be on.... it blew my mind so bad that I could not go to sleep.....haha
So did I 😀 was clapping hands at 4 or 5 ni the morning. For me one of their best performance. To listen with good headphones, wow
The best version of NDFK I have ever seen live.
You will not find any band or trio. ! ..who could replicate a performance comparable to these boys! Raw, unscripted, loud, tight...repeat
👍
Time keeps on ticking... Going through a box of old ticket stubs not long ago. My first rock concert:
May 19, 1973 East Tennessee State University (lol yeah, I'm old, but still above the dirt...)
Rory Gallagher - ZZ Top
4 bucks
It was about two months before Tres Hombres came out. (Dusty Hill's 24th birthday, I came to find out on his passing) It was Festival Seating and I managed to get about 15 feet from mic center. Rory Gallagher was pure fire right out of the gate, and his band was phenomenal. (particularly Lou Martin on his electric piano) Rory was amazing to see play and I think that he had as much fun as anyone. Then, Billy Gibbons and the boys came out. Back when they were the most badass blues rock band that ever was. Straw hats, jeans, no beards (but Frank. lol), and BG in a white tshirt w/ pack of Marlboros rolled up in the sleeve(lol). Needless to say, Rory and Billy made a big impression on a 16 yr old. Blues rock, slide guitar nut ever since.
RIP Rory, Rod, Lou, & Dusty. Thank You!
Keep Rockin' Billy, Frank, & Gerry
Hot Damn! That's a lot of sound coming from a three piece.
Pat Travers Band also, I saw them when they opened for Rainbow with Richie Blackmore, in Champaign, IL. It was a Hell of a Show!
ZZ Top rules. Makes Momma happy
@rj zander Peter Cowling (RIP) and Barry Dunaway were past bass players for the band. Current bass player is Jaco's nephew, David Pastorius. All very talented bassists.
Some of the greatest bands are only 3-pieces. Case in point: Rush, Cream, The Police, Nirvana
I wasn't born in Texas , But I got here as fast as I could after all the deployments. Thank God for ZZ Top...
I was into this man, I was groovin' and then 5 and a half minutes into it, CZcams comes up and cuts my jam with a damn ad for some chick product or some yuppie office prick shit. Now I gotta find my groove again. I love those boys from Texas! Remember Texas, we Tennesseans are on the same side.
The interruption just gives me an excuse to listen repeatedly.
aint nuthin free brother
@@Sirforgotalot amen brother. Truer words aint never been said
what side is that?
@@middlebrad Tennessee and Texas have a shared history that goes back 200 years. I don't want to really spend the time here going into it. Suffice it to say, many of Texas' first heroes were from Tennessee. Tennessee sent "Volunteers" (more than many other states) to help win Texas' independence from Mexico. Many Texas regiments fought ferociously in the Army of Tennessee during the War between the States. The most decorated soldier of WW1 was a Tennessean. The most decorated soldier of WW2 was a Texan. We share alot of the same values and mores and tend to have the same outlook on life. I really think if you want more, consult history-because this relationship between TN & TX is not my own opinion. Thank you for your interest though
Rockpalast was the best live music show in the WORLD . The time that handmade music was the standard. They broadcasted live concerts every weekend, and twice a year there was a Rocknight. Also the open air concerts at the Lorelei are legendary. Those were the day's, getting drunk and stoned while watching real musicians showing their skills. And there were no commercial breaks, some things were just better in the past.
the best times ever in history... so much great bands live in germany!
Agreed, Many many many artists have performed.
Bad assery right here. Dusty's Bass playin' R.I.P. man!
Man Dusty's bass tone sounds like it's coming to get you, i love it
honestly I didn't know what they were doing before 1983. I love "Legs" and "Slip inside my sleep'n bag" and such but sounds like their best stuff was the whole decade before this! awesome young or old! ZZ Alpha to Zed!
Absolutely correct!
Their first albums were pure Texas blues/ funk.
"I didn't know what they were doing before 1983" They were playing at the Warehouse in New Orleans a lot. :) :) :) Richard
If their best stuff is their pre-80s, their second best stuff is the post 80 releases.
Deguelo is one of the strongest albums ever!!!
Good Lord above. That spoken word in "Stockings" Gave me chills. And some new hair on my chest.
To anyone that has not seen this concert, you are truly missing out. This is by far the best ZZ Top concert I have ever heard.
Agree 100%--it's actually one of the greatest live performances by ANY band captured on film--they were just incredible that night!!
February 1980 Mcnichols arena Denver Colorado, for damn sure.
Any ZZ top concert I have been to has been one of the best concerts I've ever heard.I don't know if it's cuz I got lucky and I just happened to see them when they were having an "on" night every single time I went, I suspect more it's just the continuity of their constant touring and playing together that has made them such a tight unit that always sounds good.I'm sure you know that it's not easy for a guitar player to hold together a three-piece and make it sound good constantly. You have to work overtime and You got to have a special something to pull that off.Maybe Dusty Hill is that special something Sprinkled on top of Billy's playing.
This may be my favourite ZZ Top era - just before they discovered the drum machines and sequencers.
They were still in that funky Texas blues mentality.
Well said.
This performance always make me happy - and all their other performances too. Lets hear it for Dusty and his mates.
One of the Few guitar masters who deserve a 1959 Les Paul in their hands! And we are all better because of it!!!!
I can get lost in just playing endless old ZZ Top blues. ,Vic.
Thats the way my man..
As great a bass player as Dusty Hill was--holy smokes he was a PHENOMENAL singer--so much power and feeling in his vocals--WOW!!
The best 10 minutes I spent all day
We all know lots ‘bout Billy and Dusty, but truth be told, what a bad ass of a guy is Frank, my man, 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Saw em open for The Rolling Stones at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas and the Stones never had a chance , Texas loud and proud boys right there..
Them down dirty Texas blues; vicious!
Nasty dogs and funky kings never sounded fuckin better. Gave me goose bumps!!!
He's a complete badass. Chord structure and phrasing is brilliant after all this time people still want to play like him .... Love it!!
Billy is becoming better over the years!!! I must confess, I prefer his today's voice. His playing was always amazing!
I love Dusty Hill...serving the song, killer tone, such balls.
Respect, sir
The Reverend..one of the coolest cats on the planet
Amen to that bro.
“Fool for your stockings” makes me so glad I love women
This is the ZZ I went crazy for when I was 14. Saw them in concert in 81 and they were fierce. Carved their name in the side of our house! Friend of mine went to see them the other night here in 2018 and I said they are a different band now. And that's OK. That's alright.
As long as you're a fool for her stockings, I believe.
They were no joke back then
They were 68 or something at 2018 so what did you expect
@@neonknight-1522 agreed
Saw Billy at the Hilton in Clear lake with this fine young Mexican woman when elevator door opened I told Billy I’ll get the next one lol! His eyes were so damn red he might as well been the devil lol ! Back in 2002 he just smiled. The next morning his assistant was wrapping up all these African wooden pipes in the lobby. I’ll never forget our meeting on the elevator......
Dusty Hills bass playing blows my mind. He will be missed. Cant hold the tears back. Decades of great music. RIP DUSTY! You will be missed by many...
I threw these lyrics at some chick in an Atalanta bar in 1982. She slapped the shit out of me but I thanks Billy G for the experience. Joe the Vet.
TheVeteransNetwork awwww. She should’ve took you up on your offer!!!
Lord have mercy, that is some tasty dirty blues. Awesome.
the fourth superstar on stage that day was Billy's Les Paul. You'd never take such a thing on tour today.
Rest easy Dusty Hill. Your legacy will forever live on through this live masterpiece, among many other masterpieces. Your music has molded me as a human being, and for that, I am grateful. Thank you, Dusty!
They were sooo good back then, no glitz, just bitchin' blues! I saw them in Buffalo in '79 or '80, and again in Seattle in 1980. My ears are still ringing. :-)
Thanks for the music!!
the coolest band on earth,an allways the best tone,billy is a genious,an hendrix loved him,an said he was the worlds best guitarist....
Spoken by the world's best guitarist....
it's all my life,i live in Belgium and since i was 12 years old when i hear zz top for the first time ,i 'm 62 years old and it's always a bonheur for me to hear zz top, forgive me for my faults in englisch because i'm french....
You're doing fine, us ZZ fans speak the same language.
Belgium is not a country very rock n' roll..Maybe you watched with German TV.
@@ericgisclon8122 ??
@@ericgisclon8122 we didn't have a tv at this moment ,but I had the zz top's first album , my great brother had buy it in US .
@@dominiquevandevorst3897 Now I understand!! I ts good for you to talk in english .Even if I speak french!!lol
The bass be like a chainsaw through a barn door... Rippin' ... boom!!!
Dammit. ....hear that bass growl. Lofi...notech brilliance
Agree! Dusty Hill kinda didn't quite get the full respect he deserved in The Top for me. Under rated.
@@Blackscorpion1963 He never hot-dogged but kept it simple and solid when other power trios had busy bassists. Played for the song. All a Blues guy needs.
@@josephtravers777 Absolutely - couldn't have stated it any better man.
This guys can really play the hell out of their instruments when they want to. Killer versions!
That's how it used to be. Sorry! Amazing stuff for sure...
In the zone the way they used to play through the 70s was as this is pure KILLER INSTINCT ...
A trio is such a stripped down, bare bones band. Every bit needs to be so good, bass, vocals, guitar and bass. What a band....RIP Dusty...Love you Frank and Billy. What a band....
All I can say is "WOW" --- all 3 of these guys are absolutely top-notch.
Absolutely brilliant. Just as great live as they are in concert. R.I.P. Dusty. Your bass grooves will stand the test of time.
Just straight greasy bass line by Dusty. Been listening all night. Rest in Blues D Hill
frank is so very crisp here
Been enjoying these guys for decades, always bring me up.
Your right
‘Is that you bangin on the front door, you said you had enough but you’re comin back for more”
Nasty Dogs & Funky Kings is one of their greatest unheard of songs in their library. Off the BEST album of their library, FANDANDO!
LesSmith45 THANK YOU! I was just about to write the exact same thing.
That groove ride out blows my mind on that song. And that album is one of my 10 deserted island albums. If I had to have only one of theirs, this would be the one.
True fans know about it though ✌️
30 seconds in and this is a thumbs up. One of ZZs best bluesy jams.
""Despite a 4 a.m. start time for the set captured here, the band garnered a standing ovation at its end.""
Imagine disliking any ZZ TOP video for any reason...
This video has great audio. The stuff the Reverend is puttin down is sick. His Touch, feel and tone are unmatched dayumn .
Reverent Billy G. on top of his game ...
Billy Gibbons Tone is just outta this world.. Just playing the juiciest licks and they sound so crisp and warm.
„Nasty Dogs and Funky Kings“ von Gibbons/Hill/Beard. Drei im April '80.
Vor 40 Jahren für die Ewigkeit. Zu finden auf „Fandango!“ ℗ 1975 = vor 45 Jahren schon für unsere Zukunft morgen. Danke ihr Drei.
ZZ Top gelten übrigens als DIE Band, die am längsten in der Originalbesetzung beisammen blieb... vermutlich noch so lange, bis einer von ihnen das Zeitliche segnen wird (Was wir ja nicht hoffen wollen!).
Danke für dieses Rockpalast-Bonbon!
At my funeral!!! My friends and family WE BE watching this version of Nasty Dogs and Funky Kings!!!!!!!! FACT. ROCK ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!
R.I.P. Dusty
This is epic. That bass sound!
This is some of the purest folk-blues Texas style that has ever been played, black or white.
They certainly payed attention to the black bluesmen of Texas that came before them.
OMG!!!! Just incredible groove from these guys! All 3 locked into the groove so tight, so awesome!!!!
What a sound and drive With only 3 people
Like Motörhead with Lemmy, Phil and Mikkey. You listen and can't believe there are only 3 Guys on Stage.
It's called amplification.
One of the best blues tunes ever
Respect to a awesome Tone
listening through good headphones opens up a whole new amazing sound.
That's what I'm doing right this minute! Sony MDR-V 70s 50 mm drivers,response 8Hz -30,000Hz.
Tim Hoover Agreed 100%....Sennheiser’s here and the separations are crazy amazing
Feels kinda strange I was 3yrs old back then and the country I was living in was in deep shit communism... while in the next door Germany the ZZ Top were fucking rockin!
I didn't know they were so awesome in the 70's.. I grew up on 80's stuff
Billy Gibbons...nowhere near him in those days..What a tone..What a great band they were..
Are...
@ROBERT CRAIG in yo dreams !
Billy F Gibbons was a young fella of 30 years here ..
Rest in Heaven Dusty Hill
Dusty on Nasty Dogs & Funky Kings is beyond priceless. Hats off Mike for providing this classic performance. I still pull out my Fandango vinyl just to hear the A side.
"You must be crazy" said the Reverend Willy...
The Top BoyZZ at their finest."💜💤"I guess there's nothing more a Funky King can do..."😎🎩🕶
all the different guitars he's played over the years nothing sounds better than Pearly Gates.
Least thou should never forget Frank Beard that doesn't grow a beard and he plays exactly what Dusty and Billy wants to hear!
Best little band from Texas.
Stevie Ray and Johnny Winter deserve mention too!!!
Billy could play a broom stick and still sound good killer tone.
For sure, lol, Peace and Respect from Canada...
Steve Howe could pluck his shoelaces and get a better tone.
@@Sweet--Richard.4981 2 different guitarists , Billy has Soul , Howe is tech great but no soul.....
