Available Now: mercury-studio...
Double Down Live is a 2 DVD set from ZZ Top combining shows from 1980 and 2008. Disc one was filmed at the Grugahalle in Essen, Germany for the Rockpalast TV series. Hot on the heels of their classic Deguello album (it features 9 of the 10 songs from it) the show finds ZZ Top before sequencers and synthesizers epitomising their lil ol blues band from Texas nickname. Complimented by tracks drawn predominantly from their Tres Hombres and Fandango! albums this is a true best of ZZ Top in the seventies. Disc Two was shot during their European tour in 2008 and combines great live performances, interview clips and back stage footage to create the ultimate ZZ Top on the road movie. With nearly 30 years between the performances the two disc set gives a fascinating then and now insight into what has maintained the ZZ Top live phenomenon.
I just got paid today,
Got me a pocket full of change.
Said, I just got paid today,
Got me a pocket full of change.
If you believe like workin' hard all day,
Just step in my shoes and take my pay.
I was born my papa's son,
When I hit the ground I was on the run.
I had one glad hand and the other behind.
You can have yours, just give me mine.
When the hound dog barkin' in the black of the night,
Stick my hand in my pocket, everything's all right.
I just got paid today,
Got me a pocket full of change.
Said, black sheep, black, do you got some wool?
Yes, I do, man, my bag is full.
It's the root of evil and you know the rest
But it's way ahead of what's second best.

Billy Gibbons not being on the Top 25 of Rolling Stones best guitarist of all time is a crime against humanity
Top five I would say.
Sem dúvida guitarrista excelente👏👏👏👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏.
Wow what a shame… he’s amazing
Nope, he's top 100 at the most.
That list was liberal garbage
How three guys can make that much sound is just amazing.
Exactly what I told a friend today.
@@bubba88188 Yes, i'm a huge ZZ fan, and i've often asked the same thing. Super
talent there.
Just like rush or nirvana noisy bunch
not to mention no click tracks or pre-recorded vocals
Just a little Texas Boogie Band….. bad boys!
That fucking classic ZZ Top pre-synthesizer tone is unbeatable, a straight groove from beginning to end on every song
P
Yeah, I remember my bi-polar elation/heartbreak when synths crept into El Loco and then ran all over Eliminator.
the ZZ Top from the 1970's was incredible!!
so what if they used synth in the 80s...they managed to adapt and stay relevant longer than most blooze-rock 70s bands...shit, they probably made more money in the mtv era...not their best stuff, but still pretty cool
@@DaveAnchovies It's called taste. Perhaps we can get you down to the taste-store and purchase a bucket of it for you to take home?
Imagine being as good on the bass as Billy is on lead.
That's Dusty.
RIP sir
Thank you for decades of great music.
Amen
Frank 's good, great, ah, Phenomenal as a Drummer, jűs sāyīn !😎✌😎!
your so right
He was a straight-up legend. I only saw the beards for years. When I dove head first into the blues, I realized how good these three guys really were together.
Love 🙏😔
Frank Beard (the one without) doesn't get enough credit. He kept those two in time and the whole shebang chuggin along! Great drummer!
His wrists are strong as hell. He hits the snare hard! Great drummer!
Listen to the first album if you want to hear how amazing he really is!
@blakecastille 5506 yessurr!!!
Beard's drumming sure makes some of the ZZ songs. A very underrated drummer, IMHO.
Yeah he always just sits back there and dishes it out like it’s nothing!
Drummer in a great 3 piece rock n roll outfit has lots of open space to fill. Neil Peart, aka the Professor, put huge kit and amazing flourishes into that space- Frank B puts the tightest and tastiest grooves.
Well said i love Gov't mules version but i miss beards drums.
16th notes on the hi-hat sound infinitely better
Yeah, that's a fact! He's got tons of chops but picks and chooses when to add the fills etc. only rarely to add a little spice to his really solid rockin; grooves. Never overplays. He and Dusty together lay it down so well for Billy G. !
The only thing better then ZZ Top is ZZ Top live
Are you guys hearing how this bass sounds?
RIP Dusty ❤
I'm hearing how everything sounds
If I could go back and see one band at their peak it'd probably be ZZ Top in the late 70s. These guys just crushed live shows in such a unique way. Some of the crunchiest rock I've ever heard.
Couldn't agree more.
Early 70s for me. The golden era of ZZ Top.
74. LA Coliseum. Opened for Aerosmith
Confidence, with dead on timing, and that rock, funk, blues... yeah man.
I seen them in 1974, 1975, 1978, 1981. Those were the days for concerts!
Back in 1977, at a Holiday Inn in Fargo, ND, I was drumming for a touring Top 40 dance/lounge band. In the middle of our third set, all three members of ZZ Top walked into the bar. They had been gigging at the local arena-type venue. Our band did acceptable versions of La Grange and Tush, but the leader decided, for whatever reason, not to call them. Instead of getting my plea to open with La Grange, I got to sit with all three of the boys between those two sets. A real dream come true since I had at least two of their albums on the road with me and I loved their music. Sensational band. Superb group of gentlemen. RIP Dusty.
This is the kind of drumming i remember back in the mid 70's . Inspiring, God bless the whole lot of us rockers.
just a lil ol band from texas that could blow the fuckin roof off the joint. rest in peace and God bless Dusty!!
RIP Dusty one of the true great rock bands
Dusty wasn't a rock band
Dusty wasn't a rock band
I'll bet you couldn't name four ZZ Top albums without Google, and just cruise videos so you can post like-seeking comments.
@@jackbray3554 tres hombres grand rio mud eliminator double down live
@@jackbray3554 can you name 3 of Billy Gibbons cars? ✌️
@@thenintendogamer9318 Good job.
I’m 77. I’ve seen some of the best “live”, including the Stones, Stevie Ray Von, Lou Reed, Eric Clapton, etc but will go to my grave regretting I never got to see these boys in person.
I didn't see 'em till much later, several times. Never heard that much sound from 3 people, ever. Tres Hombres could bring it!
Youre not dead yet, brother! Get out there and see em. They still tour, i think
GO!
Hey I’ll go to my grave never getting the chance to see the dead or any other one of the best from the 60s and 70s in there prime.
Saw them twice in the late 70’s, loudest shows I’ve ever seen! Sold sodas at one show got to see the sound check, they played Get Back by the Beatles. Epic
Saddened, Shocked, Teared Up -- Dusty is a Legend ....... what a gift for us all to celebrate
This is my favorite ZZ Top song of all time and this is probably the best performance of it I've ever seen. All three of these guys make it look easy.
🎯💯. EXACTLY! Me too......
Saw these guys 5 or 6 times over the years, and they never disappointed. No "no shows" , no equipment fuckups, never anything more than professional and awesome every show. RIP Dusty, we'll miss you buddy.
That's what always impressed me. These guys are professionals, through and through. They come to entertain and never disappointed.
❤️
I think this is one of ZZ's best!!! They are so damn good!! Rest in peace Dusty!!! These three are great!!!!!! I love ZZ Top's music!
I have seen this band 4 times, including this tour here. Without question the most professional band/musicians. Always show up sober. Always play at their top notch best. Always put on just the right amount of showmanship. They just nail it!!
Have seen them a few times, completely agree w you
What I love about ZZ Top, other than their killer songs, is they have never acted like they are trying to impress anyone.
Just quintessentially cool in everything they did. They weren't up there trying to impress, they were up there having a good time.
I don't think I've ever seen anyone look as comfortable and effortless as Frank Beard playing the hell out of some drums.
Frank is a bad man on the kit.
Underrated drummer.
Its easy. Those songs aren't complex.
@@Twobarpsi come on what are you an expert he's a good drummer give me a break
@@nickajk1 of course he's good, but these songs are easy dude let's be real about it. Music doesn't have to be complex to be good! And yes I am a musician I play drums and guitar.
There will never be another 3 piece that can crush the room like these guys.
V Ghost 🤘
If you go for destruction potential, maybe except Motörhead :P
Motorhead, Rush, Cream, The Police. There's plenty of great 3 piece bands out there. You know, you can just say that you like ZZ Top without having to elevated them to some mythical level of "best", which of course doesn't exists as music is subjective.
I’d be lying if I said you were wrong!
Syklone don’t be a dickhead be nice. I’m not even a big fan of them I stumbled across this video and thought I’d give a nice compliment. I’m a huge AC/DC fan
Sad day. RIP Amigo.
R.I.P Dusty
Baddest bass player on the planet
Rest In Peace legendary Dusty Hill of ZZ Top, you gave us a hell of a show during your time sir
Frank Beard is just a killer drummer one of my all time favorites.
He is a human metronome.
It's steady, but the rhythm doesn't play well with the guitar riff.
HEY 🥰 ZZFRANK HOT STUFF Y'ALL
@@primtones What an ignorant comment.
@@chadbattman6677 Sure, I'm not a drummer but a guitarist, but it doesn't sound right to me. You're not giving any counterarguments either.
Baddest rock and roll band on the planet. Just saw em Talking Stick Resort.
First time seeing them live was June 6, 1973 at Cobo Hall in Detroit ZZ Top & Deep Purple, i was 15 and my older brother took me.....my ears still ring sometimes
Wow that is awesome!!! A hell of a year and show!!! Glad you got to see them! I love ZZ and Purp two of the very best!!! Congrats.
That must have been an absolute monster gig to attend.
You lucky bastard.
Awesome Guitar riff one of best in rock history!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
RIP Dusty...
Bad Ass. You gave it.
Worked those strings.
Hell ya.
A grand little jam that could be an hour long and still never get tired
Thanks so much for everything, safe travels.
The videos never do justice to what it was like to be there in person. I saw them in 2011, Solomons Island MD, fuzzy guitars and all, and the sound hit your body so hard not only were you not touching the ground but you could feel your ribcage compressing and expanding with the sound waves. Wasn't even that loud, it was heavy and visceral, almost like the shockwave of an explosion from a distance but it was constant.
That was total badass.
I just don't like that comment because i love the number 25...
Viva Zz Top !
My uncle. Lived in texas from 1972 to 1975...in an old bar one night. Chugging Lone Star. This band gets up on stage a 3 piece. They said howdy we are ZZ TOP. MY UNCLE SAID they opened with La grange they said here is our new song from. Our new album.
RIP MR DUSTY et berces mes étoiles... !!
This really is blues rock at its finest live.
zz top and Stevie ray vaughan double trouble are my favorites
Rocky n Dusty were my classmates…always knew they danced to the beat of their own drums…Hehe guitars
RIP Dusty...Thanks for the music. Much Love!
Only just heard RIP Mr Hill, go and have a Jam up there with Jimi
Billy Gibbons carries this from start to finish. Amzing talent.
He was one of Jimi Hendrix's favorite guitar players. That speaks volumes about Billy's talent
Everything is being carried by the rhythm section!!!
I like the foot signal Dusty gives to Billy at 2:28 telling Billy his bass solo is over. Pretty cool teamwork!
And when Billy hits the drum shortly after 😮
I’m now 74 and still my favorite band.
Miss you Dusty
Thank you guys for the music
RIP Dusty Hill you will be missed brother !!!!!
This bass/drum/chord combo and progression is the pure ZZTop. God bless Dusty!
If you ever feel depressed just crank up The Top and next thing you know you're dancing and everything is all good.
Billies riff is so amazing, this is that southern beat with backbone that's hard to master - Jim Morrison. Billy mastered it!!!!!
I learned of this song in 1983, when I was 7 years old.
It was the back side of Sharp dressed man, the 12 inch version.
Now 41 years later there is not a week that passes without listening to this song
This has to be peak zz, no idea how you could improve this.
What a great loss,, Your band is the Coolest, Legendary..
When you're born in Texas ....you get a copy of FANDANGO with your birth certificate.
Fact!
Fandango my favorite ZZ Top album
St. O'Ned excellent gift
I'm from east texas so they threw in a copy of texas flood by SRV
I've loved ZZ Top since the beginning. Saw Moving Sidewalks '69 in my hometown at Kukral Center CYO dance. Don't get me wrong but the last 4 times I saw them, I was really disappointed. It seems that Billy has in his mind that he can get up there and play a version of a song we all have been used to hearing and he plays it in a way that doesn't even come close to sounding the way that rocked us, doesn't even sound like the same song, took that special "feeling" right out of it. And one time I saw them they had just come out with a new album, and didn't play one song from it. Didn't play even one of their biggest songs beside La Grange. Took away the bluesy rock and roll fire I once had in my heart for them.
I’m from El Paso, so XRok 80 was blasting in the delivery room.
RIP Dusty. He was 72.
Frank Beard is killing it onnthe drums in this clip
Excellenti amigos. So grateful to see you play,💓 listened to you for decades
This song is so badass.. How can anyone dislike.. You either Like it or LOVE it!
Love the drumming and the drum sound😍!
Frank is a bad man on the kit.
Yeah, his kit is mic'ed really well....and whomever is on the soundboard is doing a phenomenal job. I wonder if Frank is playing Ludwig drums here (if not, then what brand?) I do love the sound of some nicely mic'ed and engineered drums!
@@KevinatorPhase1 If Wikipedia is anything to go by, Frank currently uses Tama Starclassic Maple drums and Paiste cymbals.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZZ_Top_equipment#Drums
Hard saying what he was using in this video, but it's probable that he could answer if you reached him via one of the methods online.
At age 17, in 1974 my mom locked my stereo (purchased with my own earned money) in the basement for a week. I was WEARING out Tres Hombres, at full volume. Tyranny I say, tyranny.
This is the best live video of ZZ Top I’ve seen. Incredible energy from whoa to go.
Biggest complement is when jimmy hendrix was told how great he was and he said Billy was the best. Oh my goodness love these guys just like jimmy. Moving sidewalks before ZZ Top and jimmy greatest groups!!!
the best live version i've ever seen
RIP Dusty... You will be sorely missed but the music will live on !!
Best live version of this song I've heard.
This tour was the first time I saw ZZ. Can't believe it's been 45 years ago !
I saw a show from this tour.ZZ TOP was on fire.They are one of my favorite bands to this day.
The “lil’ old band from Texas” is one of the best and coolest musical groups that ever were! Had the distinct pleasure of seeing this phenomenal trio play the infamous Joe Louis Arena In Detroit, MI in July of 1983 with Blackfoot as the opening act. Kick ass show!
A shout to Detroit the home of Rock and Roll. I used to live in Windsor seen tons of concerts in the big D :-) Peace
The most powerful guitar riff ever written
One of the best guitar tones on the f’n planet. Dirty and raw. Love it.
I seem to remember reading somewhere that Jimi Hendrix once said that Billy Gibbons was the best guitarist he’d ever seen. I could be mistaken
absolutely on fire there Billy.....just watched them play same song 45 years later....still good but not quite the same...cheers.
They are a kickass band. Another iconic band that rocked the world . Legends.
This is one of the sickest live riffs that will ever be. (Ha! I see I commented on this 10 years ago! :D )
Rest in Peace Dusty
They were on fire this night
I'm still in shock over Dusty. I just don't wanna believe he's gone. I can't imagine how Billy feels. God bless him!! 😭
No Autotune and NO shit-Hop Rap Crap.
THIS children --- IS ROCK at it's BEST.
Real Musicians.
Real vocals.
NO backtracks.
No distracting CREW of back up dancers.
Just straight on ROCK AND ROLL.
Real Music.
Blues rock*

Off brand Rock and Roll/Blues. We all know the originators, none greater
You bet,3guys, guitar,bass and drums, one vision and get outta the way. All this stuff with back round dancers and pre recorded tracks, weren't we trying to get away from all that crap in the sixties when it came down to just playing you're instruments and people digging what you really do with it? God bless stay safe Rock on and on 🙏🎵🎶❗👀
Goddamn right! They don't make bands like this anymore. This shit today they call music isn't even real.
Capturing ZZ at their best!
Had to replay this to clean the Bonamassa version out of my ears. Gibbons was a hoot back in the day, all that funky cool energy.
+Lex Jenkins I couldn't even finish the Bonamassa video.... I mean, c'mon, playing Southern Blues Rock (or whatever) in a suit and slick shades?
Lex Jenkins.....The Reverend Willy G certainly was a hoot back then. Full of (Coke) energy, I would guess. I sneaked out of the house on a school-night back in '83 to go see them in an old church. What a gig! He was same, bouncing around as funky and as cool as a motherf********. TV Dinners was the single. I had to see them on the strength of that. haha Days later I learned my stoner Uncle had all their albums. Saw them again in 85. That energy was GONE. Dude hardly moved.....That became his Thing.....
jakeenan Same here man. He was “reved” in 83 and dereved in 85. Still kicked ass tho’ Dusty always been revved,,,
Damn Bonamassa is the most overrated artist ever.
@@chadbattman6677 Back in the old record store days where you'd have categorization of genres within those genre's you'd have sub-genres i.e. Rock/Classic rock. With Boneheadmassa and Pierced Nipple Meyer I think another sub-genre is necessary. I think Gearbox-posuer Blues is appropro!!! I can't stand either of those clowns!!!
Dusty was a Melodic Bass player to fill out sound with the Three Piece Band.
Frank Baird consistently is an excellent Drummer.
Billy is one of the best guitarist Bar Non.
RIP Dusty
One of my all time favorite songs and performances! All three tore it up! Unbelievable! 🎯💯🔥🔥🔥
One of the greats rest in peace Dusty
I just love it when Billy pulls out the slide, he's awesome, they're all awesome, Go ZZ, Keep on rockin'
I saw them around this time period. They wore the coveralls like the El Loco album but with the top hats. They had the biggest sound for a trio back then before Eliminator. I miss the old ZZ Top.
ZZ Top was/is three forces, who were destined to meet and make some of the finest American music in history. What are the odds of those three, all the same age, all possess that talent, to meet and form ZZ Top. It's got to be 1 in 5 billion.
This is one band I really wish I could have seen live. Just awesome performers.
im about to see them in like an hour or two ! in corpus christi tx
@@datastructure59 It will still be awesome with Elwood. I just wish I could have seen them with Dusty.
@@woody5476 rip dusty. show was still great
Awesome....Frank is the calmest, great drummer ever
I saw these guys in a Charlotte at the Park Center before they really hit it big....June of 1972. I was leaning on one of the main speakers on the edge of the stage. My ears are still ringing....seriously.
what a punch, better than in the studio.
AwwwDead
People get so used to seeing them as these “old guys that can still jam,” which is cool, & of course they DO still jam. But THIS right here is how they got their reputation back in the day. Everybody at my work or family I have that saw them in the ‘70's say they straight up BLEW AWAY whoever they opened for, & watching this, I believe it.
1 second ago
Yep. They haven't impressed me in a long time live. (Still great live. I just mean compared to say, pre-'85.) There's two bands that people say "blew away" whoever they were with. AC/DC and ZZ. It's all about the propulsive rhythm. Of course, thrash metal understood this later on.
zztop on top of it all 45 years ago....what a sound...Billy really on it...they all are....
RIP Dusty, you are missed
It doesn't get any better than that! The most live, raw shit you will hear! So badass.
This is one of the best riffs I have ever heard!!!! Just awesome.
November 2021 at 12:10 a.m. my neighbors are listening to ZZ top right alongside me ✌️
Thanks for makin my life a little funner and brighter
Wow, Frank really played the drums back then. It's hard to believe it's the same guy that plays on 2008 DVD.
Nihil Quest mans like a human metronome
Yes! He reminds me of AC/DC’s Phil Rudd. Human metronome.
Clones
Dis he suck in 2008? Not sure what you mean.
@@Frip36 Yes he did. "Live from Texas" isn't his finest hour at all.
If it ain't broke don't fix it and it's still rocks to this day.
Lil' old badass band from Texas.
Best performance ever. ❤
I was born my Papa's son, that is why I have the best taste in music rest easy Amigo's ✌️❤️
You’ll never see a tighter crew than Billy, Dusty and Frank.
