saw them in 70'....Jacksonville coliseum....opening for Deep Purple..........jeans/cowboy shirts and hats...........we never heard of them.......we all laughed till they started playing.......WOW WOW WOW..........amazing..........Deep Purple sucked and the entire crowd was chanting .......ZZ TOP....ZZ TOP........at the end.........they stole the show for sure !!!!!
Man I saw these guys back in '72. I thought shit, what's that guy doing with the ten gallon hat gonna do up there...Well folks he blew us away with some hard fuckin' rock!!
Three talented musicians and a side street Houston jam in the wayside of the Sherwood Forest tenement fields. Texas has a right to be proud. Pure soul from these boys. If you can't feel it..then you should call it a day.
Anyone complaining this is too long, looping, etc., CAN'T say they appreciate the blues and the talent it takes to play. I'm enjoying the music! This Rocks! Appreciate you taking time to put it together!
I've been listening to these Texas boys since I was just a baby. My big sisters the one who turned me on to them so many years ago. Now,I'm living in one of the communities where they played in the little bars,and in people's houses. My x saw them,and drank whiskey with them. I love all their stuff every Texas born note. Bless y'all,wish I could have a shot of whiskey with y'all....and I'd sing along. Not to mention hugggi g each ones neck. Bluesy Texas rock!!!!! Yes!!!
diggin the Top, I saw these Cats for the 1st time at the Anaheim stadium in 1973, couldn't tell you how many times since,🎸 Groovin to that funky 🎶 sound 💀 Heyyy Hey
Awesome mixture of a nice Southern Rock to a relaxing Texas Blues. You can hear the slide guitar in it. A lot of musicians took those blues music and incorporated it in Rock style. I really love how this band ZZ Top did just that. Way to go guys.
I never imagined Jesus being a "rock" guy. More imagined him as a gospels fan, sort of like when the angles sang when he was born. Must have been inspirational.
I just got to see them a couple months ago for their 50th anniversary tour and they are STILL as awesome as they were when I was listening to them in the late 70s
You got to love the time change between these two songs. They were always played on the radio in Chicago on the loop. Without Jesus loves Chicago waiting for the bus just isn't the same.
Yes indeed! I had a bassist friend who didnt want to play "Jesus Just Left Chicago" because he thought the bass line was to "simple", but I urged him to try it, and he realized that it took DISCIPLINE to play it with the right timing and steadiness! It takes SKILL to be able to play like Dusty, without speeding or slowing down the song! Ditto goes for all three of them...like Ginger Baker said, "timing is a gift"!
oh my god!!! I never saw Billy without his 'look', like just a regular guy as you have here. He's a good looking guy, I don't understand why he doesn't bust out from behind the 'mask' of his persona after all this time. This is in no way a criticizm of the classic ZZ look, its one of my favorites of all time. I'm 57, I'm just thinking about the fellow guitarist beneath the celebrity. It blows my mind to 'see' the face/personality that created those awesome and unique songs that I grew up with and covered in my own bands. You captured my absolute 2 favorite ZZ Top songs so this is a treat, thanks amigo...
The Reverend Billy F. Gibbons IS that Man with the beard, glasses so dark they won't even know his name and, my favorite...His Bailey with the cut down brim. REAL Tejas Stuff Right There. Play it Rev!!!🏁🕶🤘🤠
Only got to see them once in San Antonio. What a fun night. I suspect they always put in a great show and sent the audience home smilingly. I know I was.
Well, didn't dig the chop up at first. Been listening to this tune for many years, bit of shock. Listened a few minutes more, dig the loop, always loved this tune, dig the loop, always loved this tune. Nice work dude. Always loved the tune, been listening for many years...
It's weird to play correctly. I still don't think my band has it like it was intended. There's just something strange where they change songs. And we're perfectionists and still can't agree on the song change, so we play it like this.
Do the best you can and enjoy. It. Funny thing is we freak out about playing it perfect, but most of the people listening don't notice the imperfections.
I have mix tapes and if it sounds better than the artists intended or maybe they would've done in hindsight so be it. Bonus for finding pix of the band where Billy Gibbons did NOT have a beard.
Yeah, Thank You for sharing. i Love Double Whammys, Journey w/Steve Perry Has Amazing Flavour TOO -when the lights GO Down IN the CITY, AND the Sun-shines on the Bayy-OH i wanna BE There in MY ity blah blah blah blah blah blah blah .. SO sorry -just woke with this song-pairing on My Mind.
LEAD VOCALIST & LEAD GUITARIST 🎸 William Frederick Gibbons (born December 16, 1949) is an American rock musician, best known as the guitarist and primary vocalist of ZZ Top. He began his career in Moving Sidewalks, who recorded Flash (1969) and opened four dates for the Jimi Hendrix Experience. Gibbons formed ZZ Top in late 1969 and released ZZ Top's First Album in early 1971. He has also maintained a solo career in recent years, starting with his first album Perfectamundo (2015)
4 8 24 One of the top ten Best Guitar intros ever 😊 Hard to believe somebody can take something as simple waiting as waiting for a bus and turn it into a classical song that is loved 💖 all over the world 50 years later 😊 I love ❤ William Gibbons Voice it so masculine 😊 William 500 gibbons for December 16th 1949 lead guitarist and vocalist was the opening player at the Jimi Hendrix concerts. A Jimmy knew when he met William and heard him play that guitar he knew this guy's got talent 😊
Hendrix loved Gibbon's guitar playing. Hendrix first heard Gibbon's play when Gibbon's was in the band "Moving Sidewalks", not in ZZ Top. Moving Sidewalks did a few opening shows for Hendrix. Hendrix's comments about Billy was from hearing him on that tour in 1967. ZZ Top formed in 1969, and the trio we know and love finally formed after Beard joined with Gibbon's, and told Billy about Dusty. The true ZZ Top started their first show in early 1970. However, Jimi died before ZZ's first album even came out. Hendrix died 9.18.1970. First ZZ album came out 1.16.1971. Hendrix did get to hear ZZ Top, but unfortunately he missed out on major body of musical work that ZZ Top created, in the studio and live.
I grew up on zztop saw Aerosmith saw them in terra haute In so many times i can't count, best show was on August 16, my birthday with my then boyfriend Steve,he was pissed TFO(pissed the f?"? off bc I demanded that was going to be my bday present! When we left he actually told me it was the best concert he'd ever seen. Perfect laser beam show. The most best part is I still have the ticket stub.they played with?

The BEST. Fucking Epic
@@Jarard-st4li EPIC!
You ALWAYS have to play these songs together to get that great transition
One of the best moments in rock.
DUSTY HILL will be missed but never ever forgotten.
Tres Hombres is one of the best albums ever produced in my opinion.
NEVER Forget!
Dusty Hill, Gonna miss those hot fingers. RIP
One of the best pocket players there ever was. Miss you Dusty

Probably top 5 concerts I've ever had the pleasure to witness.2 shows 16 fist fights before we even hit the spectrum doors 😊
Saw them 1st time at a closed down grocery store in my hometown,Groves,Tx. 1970
Anyone complaining this is too long, looping, etc., CAN'T say they appreciate the blues and the talent it takes to play. I'm enjoying the music! This Rocks! Appreciate you taking time to put it together!

Saw them in 1980, Recycler Tour
Did ya see Jesus too?😂
I'll never forget my buddies older sister. She had nice LP's! And a Baretta! Sonics are PERFECT!
First saw these guys in 1973, Mobile, Alabama ... my ears are still ringing.
This cut makes me hear zz top in a way I've never heard them. Raw, gritty dirty Texas blues with some amazing time keeping from beard.
Where you been?😊
I've been listening to these Texas boys since I was just a baby. My big sisters the one who turned me on to them so many years ago.
Now,I'm living in one of the communities where they played in the little bars,and in people's houses. My x saw them,and drank whiskey with them. I love all their stuff every Texas born note. Bless y'all,wish I could have a shot of whiskey with y'all....and I'd sing along. Not to mention hugggi g each ones neck. Bluesy Texas rock!!!!! Yes!!!
Definitely ear candy that needed extending 30 years ago.
God in heaven.. thats like birthday and christmas all together. Simply Great . Congrats 👏
Some tasty guitar work here by Willie G.
diggin the Top, I saw these Cats for the 1st time at the Anaheim stadium in 1973, couldn't tell you how many times since,🎸 Groovin to that funky 🎶 sound
💀 Heyyy Hey
grew up with this music.
Yeah brother, so did I.🎸
Awesome mixture of a nice Southern Rock to a relaxing Texas Blues. You can hear the slide guitar in it. A lot of musicians took those blues music and incorporated it in Rock style. I really love how this band ZZ Top did just that. Way to go guys.
I ride the bus to work every morning and play this song. Thanks for the extended version. You did a good job.
Now THAT's a nice ride!
Dusty got to go in his sleep, directly from his dreams to the joy of our Lord. 🙏
I never imagined Jesus being a "rock" guy. More imagined him as a gospels fan, sort of like when the angles sang when he was born. Must have been inspirational.
That’s a special privilege if you ask me? Reserved for descent human beings. 🙏
@@keriwilliams8980 Jesus was a bass player, the time-keeper & the groove-driver!
... When I go, I wanna be in a peaceful sleep. Not screaming like my passengers! LOL (funny! duncarewhoyare!))
yea man too bad god isnt real LOL
It's a good day when I see the Reverend Willie G with NO beard.
grew up with these guys lucky to be able to see em back in the late 70's one of my favorite bands. good shit
Tres Hombres Amigos rocked Flint Michigan 1973. Shook the brick house down baby!!!!!
"You don't have to worry, 'cause takin' care of business is his name".
That line never made sense to me.
I understand
Brad Byron Jesus is taking care of business, working behind the scenes, lifting us up and out of the bad times into paradise
@@brahmadasbyron180 who feels it knows it lord
@@darlanilsen879 Je$u$ Chri$t.
Love this stuff and still can't stop my feet from moving to these 3 Amigos superjam!
First time I saw ZZ Top was June of 1974 with Golden Earing. Still got the ticket stub.
I just got to see them a couple months ago for their 50th anniversary tour and they are STILL as awesome as they were when I was listening to them in the late 70s

I love these guys & I thank you for posting all the old photos. I didn’t get to see them in concert but I sure am lovin’ TH-cam!
6:07 my favorite bass come-along of all time. Whatever you wanna call it... it's my favorite moment in bass.
Right on. That *bass* done got me back

These extended versions are 🔥. Please make more!!!
pictures alone are worth the price of admission. the mix is superb
So glad I have had the chance to see them, (3 times). Thanks for what you've done and continue to do. R.I.P. Dusty.
Outstanding work brother! Pop's would be drooling over this smut. Thanx. Jesus is still sticking around old man river.
Dusty .
such an understated elegance .
Brilliant, Mr. Bruels, simply brilliant.
Only got to see them once in San Antonio. What a fun night. I suspect they always put in a great show and sent the audience home smilingly. I know I was.
This is great!
Another Great One Gone. See You On The Other Side.
Songs bring back such good memories. The early stuff is probably best in my opinion any way. Rio Grand mud and Fandango were also awesome.
From one "TEXXAN ", to another..
HELLYEAH,,,,!! y'all help raise me,,
badass southern rock+ smooth rhythm!
The harp seals the deal!
This song is my baptism by 🔥 soul
Amen to that thank God for this O YA
For them to be just three fellows, they sure could make a lot of noise. The Texas Tornado tore it up🇨🇱👓🌪!
Hey Folks , that's James Harmon on harmonica!!
Well, didn't dig the chop up at first. Been listening to this tune for many years, bit of shock. Listened a few minutes more, dig the loop, always loved this tune, dig the loop, always loved this tune. Nice work dude. Always loved the tune, been listening for many years...

Covering zztop is very very very hard.
Do the best you can and enjoy. It. Funny thing is we freak out about playing it perfect, but most of the people listening don't notice the imperfections.
I just never get tired of the good tunes my brothers & sisters use to listen to growing up.❤❤❤
Effing love It!!!
And pics of a beardless Billy Gibbons to boot.
I love the smell of burning Vinyl! 🎧
RIGHT ARM! (Thx Nick!) Audio is perfect at my LOUD setting! WHAT?
Still here 2024?❤
That song kicks some butt...
I have mix tapes and if it sounds better than the artists intended or maybe they would've done in hindsight so be it. Bonus for finding pix of the band where Billy Gibbons did NOT have a beard.
This rocks!!!! I love the extended versions that don't destroy the song with dubstep
Very cool. Thanks for this.
RIP Dusty...

Awesome.thanks for sharing this...Who are the 12 Morons who gave the thumbs down?

Nice job

Hard to believe somebody can take something as simple waiting as waiting for a bus and turn it into a classical song that is loved 💖 all over the world 50 years later 😊

Looks like Dusty had a head start, in the beard growing process, back then!
Love ZZ

Great put together😂
Smack in the middle of the tunes...a commercial. Cryin' Shame Homey.
'Takin' Care of Business, Is his Name! ...
Ohh. Jesus left Chicago a LONG time ago.
RIP! DAYUM!

Extended Explosion Of Music.
My ZZ
That lil' ol' band from Texas , me brothers
Any of Y'all been around long enough to remember the Oscars???
Fingers itchin'!
Do you want to change your mind or is this where you’re going to treat me from now on????????
Yes, this is hard until you learn it. Now it's simple, but you've got to be alert to sing and follow the chord changes and transition.
Bass seems fairly easy.
Did I see Derek Obrien on stage with them?
This is who Jimi Hendrix would go see play. Indeed.
Hendrix loved Gibbon's guitar playing. Hendrix first heard Gibbon's play when Gibbon's was in the band "Moving Sidewalks", not in ZZ Top. Moving Sidewalks did a few opening shows for Hendrix.

Funny! No one mentions The Harp! Who played it? I would guess Billy!
wondering the same thing ! any answers ?
I believe it was James Cotton. I play harp and that's a complicated riff. Sounds like him too.
Wayne Danberry James Harman
@Thomas Swan any clue who it was?
Rock on
