How many country music 🎶 fans would have ever expected to see a tribute concert for charities honoring Billy Gibbons and how about Billy winning that very coveted award in the traditional blues category and then showing his old school blues roots along with Jimmy Vaughn and some of the old school blues Masters a lot of ZZTOP fans would not have known about his, or Stevie Ray Vaughns old school blues roots unless they were fans of theirs from their early days in southwest Texas during the early days of the southwest Texas rockin blues revolution before it became a very big part of the whole southern rock revolution that took over from the British invasion
T for texas.. I'm in north texas, Raised in dallas. My brother buffalo worked for RCA records as a promoter, When that trade finally went away, He went to work for Walon Jennings Is his manager. He told me the story of why z z top came out with the Song "Nation Wide"..are you aware of the reason???
Tribute to Mr. Gibbons is certainly the place to be... The Travis Tritt segment with Laken Poe is top notch. He's a rocker! They give me the goosebumps! Great cause and venue!

Went to a ZZ Top concert in Grand Island the other night. First one without Dusty. After the initial shock of not seeing Dust all went well. Elwood did a fine job filling in! Tim Montana and the Shrednecks opened for the boyzz. Tim puts on a fantastic show! A great concert!!!!
Gibbon's guitar playing is something unique.and he's the first artist i have everseen holds the guitar lower than his hips i like that.... Lodi .. you've got the look..of a perfect stage performer.
I tried hard to find a video of ZZ Top doing a country song, then come across this. I went and seen them a few nights ago, he did ZZ Tops version of "16 Tons", an honor to witness. I have followed ZZ Top since the first album in 1971. I was hooked from day one, but as they pulled old songs from the shelf I hadnt heard for a long time, I was flooded with memories, and 16 Tons was a song my father played a lot, so when he did that I almost got choked up. Gibbons is a rare treat to the world, ZZ Top was an engineered sound by each member, but especially Gibbons. 50 years, three people, no extreme drama, and still creative today, Gibbons follows the golden rule, never stop learning. It was a huge loss of Dusty Hill, but by his request Elwood Francis did a tremendous job as a replacment. Gibbons deserves this salute and then some, he is proof that the passion of creativity if applied to hard work and passion can be rewarding, and not altered by arrogance, drugs and foolishness that has destroyed many good artists in the past.....
I saw the great ZZ TOPS IN 1984 concert doing THIER after burner album RIP TO THEIR BAND MEMBER WHO PAST IN 2021 n Brad p u legendary in ya own way here
And Damn,what a line up they had for this tribute concert, it pretty much showed the affect ZZTOP had on people from all kinds of genres of music 🎶 and what a treat to have showing off his talents especially him playing old school blues in the ways that 😡 made him one 1⃣ of the few white 👦 boy blues players most of the old school blues Masters wanted to share the Stage with
Man I really can't think of any other artist that deserves the recognition Billy deserves. In terms of guitar playing. I just wish Dusty was here to get his recognition too. Billy really is one of my biggest influences. Those early 70s recordings are truly a lesson in guitar playing. The man really could rip it and he could also play with such feel you could seriously hear those BB King influences. Arrested while driving blind is a perfect example of this. The entire Tejas album is incredible blues guitar work. Im so happy Billy got his recognition in the Nashville area. He was on a track on the new Black Keys album and I think his next album should be produced by Dan from The Keys.. it was so good. Billy we love you here in Arkansas. Rest in peace Dusty Hill ✌🖤🤘
@jamestburgess6372 thats right! To me the best bass player/singer in rock history other than Mr. Lee from RUSH lol! Dusty just had that powerful raspy soul!!
I agree with you on Mr Lee, I have seen them both live. And will forever be in my heart and soul especially when Neal P bounced the stick's off of the ceiling at Barton and did a no look catch. But the ZZ chacha can't be beat.
Thank you so much for posting this. Not even one minute into the performance and you can already tell this is going to be really good. It is going to be one of those that you watch over and over again. Excellent musicians and great vibes.

@@SmackWaterJack001 You have eclectic taste. It would be fun to listen to your record collection with you and my husband. My husband plays pedal steel and has his own opinions about things too. Cheers ❤.
ZZ TOP Billy Gibbons and Dusty Hills Band. They are Stars from Panteon Best Musicans. I remember their concert in Sopot Poland 1996. I was very happy, that I saw ZZ TOP and listened music, from new record Rythmeen.
Far out concert! One of the best moments for me was seeing Larkin Poe on the stage, oh my, Can't admire Megan enough. My salutes to Gibbons and all the brave men in uniform
The first time that I saw Billy Gibbons live he was with ZZ Top playing in Kansas City and Bachman Turner Overdrive was opening for them, it was 1973 or 1974 and Tres Hombres had just come out, ZZ Top was great, hell they were both great, anyway I caught the brain fry in1974 or 1975 at Texas Stadium in Austin Texas, billed as The Rompin Stomping BBQ , it was the end of August or the first part of September and it was hot as hell with very few concession stands open, it was bad but ZZ Top and Santana were wonderful, anyway I have seen Billy Gibbons play numerous times over the last 40 years and I love his playing and how he helps other less fortunate people, he has been very good to Roky Erickson from The 13th Floor Elevator's, anyway, great musician and artist, plus I love his hat
The first album I listen to was ZZTop Rio Grand Mud I don’t know if it was the first of their albums but it was the start of their popularity I heard that album and my brother bought tickets to go see them and they cancelled because they didn’t sell enough tickets that tells you how new they were but we miss out on probably a great show but I did finally seeing them about 3 other times and they were. Great
I saw them in Vancouver and the opening act was Heart and it was right when the song Tush was a major hit. There was a ginormous paper mashay cowboy hat being past aro the front of the stage
I JUST WANTED TO SAY HELLO AND IF IT WASNT FOR SINGER SONG WRITER MR.DUSTY HILL. I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE. SHERELL HILL. ALABAMA USA 🇺🇸2022. JULY 5TH..LOVE YOU DUSTY.
I only wish Hendrix could hv had this honor in store for him and sighing out , I guess it’s in the stars that from those 2 musical brothers that rocked those hotel rooms together it was Billy the luck of the draw. But I’m sure jimmy’s spirit is looking down and saluting his guitar brother with his beautiful face smiling.❤❤❤❤
Hello I'm French, We've got dangerous problems with "woke " people. here in France (you own us) Here's the best proof what USA is for me : Freedom of music for ANYBODY My greatest thanks for this show,/VIDEO i'm a fan of Billy and Jimmie, but I've discovered lot more of very interesting Artits (I'm not a Country music fan) but now I will reconsider my (dumb) judgement (country music is silly/poor musical style to country music is huge part of musical history) And you know what ? YOU ROCK GUYS ! Love from the real old France.
Here in the USA, so called woke folks want to keep our democracy (what is wrong with that?), where as so called cons(ervatives) really want to dump democracy for what Russia has: all white, no gays (and minorities), one religion and government ran by oligarchs. Don't be like Russia.
Sorry dude. The dogmatic self-righteous-woke political correctness has literally wrung the humor, uniformity, ability to laugh at our selves without being offended, enjoy other people’s laughter at us-split our country into fragmented “us” and “them”. It’s happening worldwide on 5 continents I’ve traveled through . Sorry to hear about France. It’s awful we can’t close boarders and vet people prior to their arrival. Or send them immediately back when they arrive with no visa.unless exigent circumstances apply. The diluted culture of France, the U.K., Africa, everywhere is something that is an unfortunate consequence of open borders which is contributing to wokeness. Billy F Gibbons is the real deal musician and gear head. Miss Dusty. RIP.
My family was at that performance. Brad Paisley wast listed as being there the night the filmed - he wasn't. That performance was added later. Notice he's not part of everyone playing at the end of the show.
As a Zepp Hendrix etc of the late sixties fan Billy Gibson is my absolute fav of all time NME and Brit rubbish press rubbished the ZZS and put me off them oh fool me

Brad is one seriously underrated axeman, and Billy G needs no explanation! Lone star state delivers once again!👌
Nashville this night.
@@monmixer I believe they are both Texan though…👌
@@supertramp6011 Brad is the pride of Glen Dale, West Virginia.
@@michmtneer sorry, I thought he was a Texan! Not sure why, thought I’d read it somewhere…
The move with his hand on his hip was the coolest thing ever.

That's how I got my handle, manic mechanic
