My eyes fell out when I saw this with the Rev and the Smokes jamming together. My two fave performers coming together sharing the same stage. The stars have aligned.
Kick ass....I love this tune....funny for so long I thought Charlie Starr was older than me....just learned today that Charlie is 46....I am 53.....LOL....boooo. He is an old soul when it comes to music. He is a product of the 80's, but his soul is cemented in the 70's. Love you Charlie.
I worked a concert with ZZ TOP @ 1972 at Hammond's Civic Center and I seen Billy Joel 1990, 5th row, center, but I never expected to see Billy Gibbons and Billy Joel together! Strange but waycool.
Charlie is one of those singers who don't fake it or arranges his voice too much in the studio. Not many out there. His voice souds almost the same (sometimes the same) live and in studio. I love that.
Ive just starting to listen 2 BBS I'm in my 30s & fell out of love with modern 🎶 as i realy dislike pop but i found BBS & Larkin Poe ZZ TOP this is how great 🎶 should be played gave me goosebumps ♥️ 👏
I lived in Dallas for 20 years and at one time Billy Gibbons had a Condo in Deep Ellum right off Downtown. Used to see Billy down there all of the time because back in the 80's & 90's that was the happening scene for live music and good food. It was first cannonized by the Black BLues singers who played there back in the 30's & 40's. It was a thriving Black Community.
re-watching but didn't catch it was from 2011. Yikes ain't they just fantastic? Thank you L. Kelly Kain for the clip. Lili Kiki best BBS fan in France in sort of lockdown in 2020. Stay safe you all!
That's about the coolest thing I've seen in a long time. I agree too.......At least there are still a few keeping it real. Thank God, and Rock n Roll both for that.
This Band of such talented Musician's play those pretty les Paul's and when they play acoustic it's all so special deep in an ol 70 yr. old Texans Soul ...Thanks Guys keeping an ol man's heart beating ...jd Such Soul Y'all Put in it ...
I have been a ZZ Top fan for 50 years and a Blackberry Smoke fan for about 15 years. I don't understand why these guys aren't more well known. They are awesome!
Saw Billy with the rest of his boys in 73 w/ Blue Oyster Cizult, and Savoy Brown w/Lonesome Dave ( who I spent 3 weeks of my hard earned, in violation of the child labor laws, weekly allowance to see) and it was Dave I was there to see... but dang it if all I could remember the next day was ZZ Top’s opening set. Never even heard of them before that. Blackberry Smoke!, DAMN, Billy! Ya’all got some good taste for new blood!!! ( by the way, for the life of me I’m havin’ a difficult time ‘memberin’ a whole helluva lot of much of the rest of 1973. He’p me Sadie!
It's not about smoking. Anyone on the guitar SON! It's about the. Feel of the room. MR. GIBBONS. Can accommodate any room NATION WIDE AND WORLD WIDE . WATCH YOUR TONGUE. BOY
No better way to go through a car wash..listen'in to BBS...never get tired of watchin this video. Funny thing is that I was so bummed I didn't get pics...until I realized after I got back from RLC..that I got it on freaking VIDEO...
The people who comment, so and so "Smoked" so and so, and " i would like to see so and so up there to show them how its done" have no idea what goes on at these guest appearances, it has nothing to do with competing, or trying to "Smoke" those on stage, its about playing with guys/bands they admire and respect. I doubt if one single person on this page has done that,,,"I HAVE!!" So get off your jealousy horse and enjoy it for what it is, a great gig with great musicians.
Phil White, right on brother. Don’t give a monkey’s who invited whom, or who’s more famous, as long as it sounds good...preferably better than each individual by them selves. Quality of the music is the Only important thing here.
I agree one video which I have seen where John Fogerty plays with Billy Gibbons it is to Legends of contrary genres which makes the music great. Music is a gift and when you can do it so well showing up should be a gift in itself. Just watching and admiring.
awesome turquoise on C there ~ turquoise is known for being lucky in gambling, travel protection and overall luck. great sound here guys! ~ :) vid is a bit jumpy, need a tripod... still so glad to have it, thx for shooting, whoever did! ~
Been fortunate enough to catch ZZ Top in '85 in Dublin and a few times more since i emigrated to Canada,seen the to be Legendary Blackberry Smoke a few times as well but i get the pleasure of them both in Windsor but i'd say the chances a this wee jam are pretty good,so well worth the four hour road trip from Toronto.Hell Yeah! :)
Just found this and feel late to the party. Blackberry has been blessed by the Rev, and i just love it (being a Dallas boy) Mother Blues was the font of grace
Look here Billy may not have turned er loose right here in this video, but back in the 70s nobody could touch Billy.. I dont think that's stated enough in the guitar community. Even Hendrix knew how talented Billy was. Those 70s albums are nothing short of amazing. Billy could play with the same blistering style as Jimi, or he could tone it down a bit and be as tasteful as BB King himself.. Just go back an listen. And this is coming from the biggest Hendtix fan I know lol... me... Dude is just awesome. He would go back and forth from minor to major and tie them together so well that it sounded like honey dripping lol 😂 Long Live ZZ Top and BlackBerry Smoke ✌🖤🤘🌹
It's great to have Billy Gibbons singing with Blackberry Smoke. FANTASTIC!!!! 😊😅🎉😂❤❤❤❤
This has got to be one of the most under rated southern rock bands of all time keep on rockin
This is Our Music. Down home 🏡
Underrated? They're sold out all over the world, even in Germany😅
If you know your music
then you have been smoking with the Blackberrys
for a long time.
Not underrated at all..
I never stop listening!
My eyes fell out when I saw this with the Rev and the Smokes jamming together. My two fave performers coming together sharing the same stage. The stars have aligned.
Man it's hard to beat these guys, Glad to see good music is coming back.
One thing about the Reverend Billy. The cool cat is always always so humble. The legend never fails to give the other guy the limelight. Total respect
SING IT BOYS, KEEP ON PLAYING.
Kick ass....I love this tune....funny for so long I thought Charlie Starr was older than me....just learned today that Charlie is 46....I am 53.....LOL....boooo. He is an old soul when it comes to music. He is a product of the 80's, but his soul is cemented in the 70's. Love you Charlie.

Billy Gibbons is cooler than the other side of the pillow!!
BF 'BoutTime gonna keep that analogy/metaphor......lol!
That ain't no shit!
I ask people in Tulsa if they ever been to Deep Ellum they have no f.......in idea what I'm talking about. Too bad for them.lol

RESPECT.. that's the feeling on this stage.
GOD bless Billy Gibbons.
GOD bless Blackberry Smoke.
Oh yeah, amen
Very good
I want to say...I love this American band.
Ive just starting to listen 2 BBS I'm in my 30s & fell out of love with modern 🎶 as i realy dislike pop but i found BBS & Larkin Poe ZZ TOP this is how great 🎶 should be played gave me goosebumps ♥️ 👏
There's no words to describe my love for these beautiful southern blues
Nobody has more fun playing music than Blackberry Smoke. They have an enviable job, foSHO.
What a fantastic band !!! Seen them twice now, SOUTHERN ROCK IS BACK, ALIVE & ROCK'N !!!
Jeff Smith It never left!
he is one of the best guitarists out there period, he can play some mean blues, and rock and funk
It took me years to realize just how good Billy actually is. Holy shit. He isn't even trying here.
Billy Gibbons..........the coolest person to ever walk on a stage and pick up a guitar!
thebugman2007 maybe the BEST, either way, he can hide...✌️
Can’t deny Billy’s signature sound

Those boys are grinnin' from ear to ear. Great stuff.

You invite Billy F'n Gibbons to come and play with your band- and he does !! Imagine that feeling ?
Coolest cat on the planet and probably universe!
a blessing from on high
TALK ABOUT RESPECTING YOUR ELDERS, WHAT A GREAT BAND!!
I have been a ZZ Top fan for 50 years and a Blackberry Smoke fan for about 15 years. I don't understand why these guys aren't more well known. They are awesome!
I got to see them at pinewood bowl in Lincoln couple years ago. Smoke and Top....awesome concert! Did the meet and great with the boyzz!
These guys are the shit! Jammin with Gibbons. It does not get better than this💚
Saw Billy with the rest of his boys in 73 w/ Blue Oyster Cizult, and Savoy Brown w/Lonesome Dave ( who I spent 3 weeks of my hard earned, in violation of the child labor laws, weekly allowance to see) and it was Dave I was there to see... but dang it if all I could remember the next day was ZZ Top’s opening set.

thank GOD for american rocknroll bands! these guys rock out so cool! special thanks to the guys in BLACKBERRY SMOKE! ROCK IT GUYS ROCK IT!!!
It's not about smoking. Anyone on the guitar SON! It's about the. Feel of the room. MR. GIBBONS. Can accommodate any room NATION WIDE AND WORLD WIDE . WATCH YOUR TONGUE. BOY
I've just discovered them, how I'd wish that in Spain people liked good music like this.
me too and they call me a hippy, these guys got it in spades love this stuff, reminds me of Levon Helm and the Band. but a lot more intense.
Eh, eh, que en España también nos gusta la buena música!!
Been on cruises with ZZ Top and BBS. Music 20 hours a day! BEST TIMES OF MY LIFE. BBS at the House of Blues in Cleveland too!!!
what a fuckin honor to be complimented by Billy ! and they deserve it all!
One thing I have always noticed about Billy is that he respects those that play. No matter who he is playing with. A true musician.
so true
+Stephen Abel keyboard player didn't get any respect Billy stomped all over his lead telling a story
Ain’t herd nothin like dat ever😎🤘🏻
That’s just about as cool as it gets!!!
Awesome duet! 👍 love BBS
Keep rocking guys
One of my old favorites jamming with some guys I’m diggin these days. I guess my tastes haven’t really changed all that much in four decades. 👍
Nothing short of amazing!!!
The Reverend Billy Gibbons....how cool is this????
Billy has always been "Texas Cool"........great cover of a blues classic
Billy Gibbons for President!!!
Thanks
What a privilege it must be to play on the same stage with a cat that Hendrix thought was the most bad ass axe player on earth. What a mind bender!
Thanx for keepin the smoke alive!!!!!!
I really enjoy the guitars duelling! they play it cool!
Will be there tomorrow night at the SHED. A surprise appearance by Billy Gibson would be wonderful. I'll take Dickie V or Eric C and not complain.
This is a great performance by a very cool band, with the one and ONLY BF Gibbons! Thanks for sharing it. Much Love!

Amen mister! Nobody "smoking" anyone up there... Just a great jam session with a whole lot of talent on the stage!
Phil White "Spot on" brother! This kicks ass!!
