When I saw Billy Joel in Boston at Fenway he brought out Peter Wolf (of J. Giles fame) who had played the night before and later Joe Elliot of Def Leppard who was playing the next night. Such a great surprise.
That’s the John Lee Hooker modality. ZZ fashioned la Grange sound after the Boogie mans song “ Boogie Chillin”. He would use a propulsive drone in open G th-cam.com/video/VSUeOvmkjM8/w-d-xo.html
Although I have never experienced it, I know people who have. Billy Gibbons rolls around Houston just like a normal guy. I know folks who have run into him at gas stations and grocery stores and they say he just acts like one of us. Many props to a Texas legend.
Lol that’s one of my pet peeves too. Vertical is fine for short sound bites or an instagram story, but an actual performance should always be horizontal!
@@kenrangen this was taken with my iPhone 14 Pro. I was in the front row of section A so that certainty helped with the quality of the video (the people you see in front of me are in the small “upgrade pod” of seats on the very side/edge of the stage).
I hear you. I saw ZZTOP In a 3000 seat venue (Celebrity Theater, PHX,AZ) before they hit it big, which was only a few months later when I saw them headline a five band outdoor show. I’ve seen them many times throughout their career. They kicked ass every show. God Rest Mr. Dusty Hill.
Excellent performance. And, high praise to the steady-handed videographer for clear and smooth camera work. Still trying to translate the background voices.
One of my favorite bands, and also my dad favorite band, dad I hope your listening talking to ole dusty up there !, also the guy that sang tush is phenomenal!
It was a great viewing this video that brought me back memories of ZZTOP and Bill Joel live shows back in the day. Since my friend grew up with Billy in Texas, we got to socialize with him in the backstage and found him to be a real gentleman. No wonder everyone wanted to play with him!
Imagine writing a tune so pure and so simple that everybody knows it, recognizes it, loves it and is able to jam or solo to it. Doesn't matter if it's a guitar, a bass, a sax or a piano. La Grange is brilliant in its sheer simplicity, yet hard to match or master.
Incredible two "Billy"!! Billy Joel is my most favorite singer-songwriter and pianist. Billy Gibbons is one of my favorite American Blues and Boogie guitarist. it's awesome and gorgeous!!
@@ganderstein3426 check out his version of dream on and his live on the porch episodes he has incredible vocals and an awesome range he'll do covers for hours and never miss a beat matter fact the longer he goes he seems to get more warmed up
Im a chinese 18 year old who has been surrounded by mostly mainstream chinese or english pop songs all my life. But for some reason, I LOVE ZZ TOPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
Heres to two legends killing it always on stage. The vocals singing Tush sounds freaking awesome. I think Billy would not sing the vocals of that song out of respect for his buddy Dusty. RIP Dusty. We all miss you.
Wow at 73 he really is still active, performing everywhere including now at Madison Square Garden with Billy Joel. Note Joel did not sing this one with the guest, but enjoyed Gibbon's performance. I always thought Billy Joel's band was top quality and this proves it. The style is so different from Joel's but they keep up and play it really well. Wish I was there. Still plan to see Joel before he ends his run. I like the band member who said, "Let's do another one!" Maybe planned but the crowd loved it.
I love the ‘Holy Shit It’s Billy Gibbons’ 🤣👏👏👏 Brilliant
No matter when, where or under what circumstances you see Billy Gibbons pop up the man is ready to rock and roll. Always sharp.
Yes Billy is a Master A Coolest GAY ❤️🥇🎉🎉
So
@@britt-janneolsen689
B,
Que?
BG not Gay.
And sharp dressed too!
amen
Whoever is singing Tush is killing it. Awesome voice!
Mike DelGuidice
@@2v_5r84 Thanks!
I'm sure Dusty Hill would give his seal of approval.
Absolutely nailed it 💯
That would be the piano player 🎹
This is why Billy is one of the GOATs! He knows he's the star in this guest spot, but always gracious in encouraging the others to take a solo!
Class act, humble, doesn't need to prove anything anymore
When I saw Billy Joel in Boston at Fenway he brought out Peter Wolf (of J. Giles fame) who had played the night before and later Joe Elliot of Def Leppard who was playing the next night. Such a great surprise.
To any aspiring shredder, study Billy Gibbons. As few notes as possible, but make every one of them count.
Sustain and pauses with big beautiful bends are awesome. Taste and pace wins the race.
As we often know. Less is more.
Absolutely. He plays so smoothly and with such attitude at the same time. It's not how many notes you play, its how you play the notes that you do.
That’s the hardest thing to do , way more than speed and shredding
That’s the John Lee Hooker modality. ZZ fashioned la Grange sound after the Boogie mans song “ Boogie Chillin”. He would use a propulsive drone in open G

T,
Billy Gibbons Is One Cool Cat.
Met Him Once, Seen Him Play Many Times.
A True Troubadour.
I’ve spoken with him multiple times at the Dallas Guitar Show and he is really nice. There is cool and then there’s “BFG” cool! 😂
Billy and Billy... I never would have imagined it. But that was really cool.
Billy (Gibbons) has always been cool... But hell, I think his coolnes is increasing with age
Willie G. is like a fine wine. We don't have too many guys like him anymore.
Dude may have been born a 60 year old blues guitarist, he’s got so much natural swagger….
Cool and gracious..
Yeah I agree 100% that Billy Gibbons is like a bottle of very good wine he has gotten better (cooler) with age 😊😅😮😂❤😂😊
Well said, I agree 100% !!!
Billy Gibbons is just the coolest. Every move polished and professional. Leads the band like he has been part of it for decades. Fantastic!
Billy Gibbons is an American institution, so talented and generous.
Both these dudes are 73 years old and there are 25 yr olds out there that can't hold a candle to them...PERIOD!!!!
Billy gibbons is the COOL HAND
LUKE of rock and roll...
Love Billy Gibbons I think he is one of the greatest ❤ Z.Z.TOP Rock One
If you had a list of the top 10 coolest people ever. He would be on it twice!
Two Rock 'n Roll legends on stage killing it with an awesome band behind them.
This made me happy ;)
Billy twice! Is like a fortune roll of a dice! Rock'n'roll, ladies and gents!
It took eight people at least to create the sound that three boys from Texas did on their own. My My My.
Billy Gibbons is SO FREAKING GOOD. Great show.
My teen years in music. How cool is this?
The Reverend was awesome as usual. That guitarist for Billy Joel did a great job singing Tush. The whole band did great!
Best Band Ever they can play anything ,anytime any Tune, everywhere!! Fantastic!!
It’s amazing the amount of people Billy Joel has gotten to play with him over the years, or who have wanted to play with Billy.
Probably because he is the ‘Mozart’ of our time, a songwriter, musician, and human being extraordinaire!
😳😳😳😳😳😳
WTF… waowwww!
What the what the what now!!!???
So Fng GREAT!!!!👍🏻👏👊
🇧🇪🇺🇸🇧🇷🤗
It’s not surprising, it’s a very incestuous Business.
Well let's see, do I want to do a song or two at a sold out MSG? No brainer for guests...
One of the most talented punks to ever come outta long island.
Two great Billys that ive seen in person, and never in my wildest dreams though id see them together.
I was there last night and this was just fantastic when they did this.
Was this a surprise walk on? Did anyone in the audience know Billy was there?
@@riskybusiness3413 was a complete surprise. No one knew and he just casually strolled on the stage.
@@lisalovemc717 👍
Amazing Gig! From starting in college, late’60s until 2023! No band is cooler than ZZTop
The reverend never disappoints.
Damn, always been a ZZ Top fan. Nice to see Billy Gibbons is still at the top of his skills!
Thank you for this, and for shooting horizontally and not vertically...great job, well done!
Lol that’s one of my pet peeves too. Vertical is fine for short sound bites or an instagram story, but an actual performance should always be horizontal!
_"Holy shit! Its Billy Gibbons! BILLY GIBBOOOOONZZZ!"_
I feel like was there.
Holy shit, talk about a crystal clear picture. I want to see the entire show like that!
That *IS* really good quality video. I wonder what camera/phone was used.
@@kenrangen this was taken with my iPhone 14 Pro. I was in the front row of section A so that certainty helped with the quality of the video (the people you see in front of me are in the small “upgrade pod” of seats on the very side/edge of the stage).
@@Billy_Joel_Forever thanks for the reply. I appreciate it.
Thank you dude! Loving this in England! Killer quality.@@kenrangen
I've been lucky to see ZZ Top and Billy Joel at MSG a few times, and I'm glad this crowd got a real treat. Very well made video !
I hear you. I saw ZZTOP In a 3000 seat venue (Celebrity Theater, PHX,AZ) before they hit it big, which was only a few months later when I saw them headline a five band outdoor show.
I’ve seen them many times throughout their career. They kicked ass every show.
God Rest Mr. Dusty Hill.
@@reydavidbarriga3212 saw ZZ five times between 1982 and 2002. always on fire every show and probably at their best in '91 on the Recycler tour.
Billy just killin' it like a Sharp Dressed Man! This was a lot of fun! Kudos to Billy Joel for bringing him on!🙏😍 🤘😎🤘
For those of you who are watching this....This IS one of those incredible performances that one should take note of.....makes an old guy Happy!
I kinda love how Billy Joel's face during La Grange basically says "a crazy man has walked in here and taken over my concert." But: a whole lotta fun!
Excellent performance. And, high praise to the steady-handed videographer for clear and smooth camera work. Still trying to translate the background voices.
Had a great time at this concert. Very happy to see different views of it showing up on TH-cam.
Hot dam Billy plays that guitar with such smooth attitude and character. What a performer
Billy Joel and Billy Gibbons ,2 freaking awesome icons on one stage playing this freaking beyond phenomenal 🎉🎉. I'm truly loving this 🎉🎉
One of my favorite bands, and also my dad favorite band, dad I hope your listening talking to ole dusty up there !, also the guy that sang tush is phenomenal!

The collab I never knew I needed. Amazing!
Damn this is fun! Nothing you'd expect to see! This is what music is all about!
Reverend Billy’s the coolest of the Cool. Period.
Hendrix thought so.
This never gets old
Thank you for shooting this with professional quality. Nice work…
Was not expecting this, lolol No way in hell I would have ever thought Billy to be onstage with Billy Joel, ha ha Pretty awesome, imo
One of the greatest pickers with that little old band from Texas. Rock on Billie Gibbons. Looking for you in Knoxville TN in March 2024🎉🎉🎉❤❤

Mike Delgiudice on Tush Dude is a beast on vocals
I just commented on that. You're right. He did great on them vocals. Dusty would have been proud.

Agreed on the guy singing "Tush" He was awesome. Great voice.

Wow, such a wonderful performance. Excellent!
Absolutely Fabulous👍👍👍
Simply in the pocket and in the groove....
Pure rock for eternity...timeless!
This just makes me smile!!!
Wow at 73 he really is still active, performing everywhere including now at Madison Square Garden with Billy Joel. Note Joel did not sing this one with the guest, but enjoyed Gibbon's performance. I always thought Billy Joel's band was top quality and this proves it. The style is so different from Joel's but they keep up and play it really well. Wish I was there.

when a concert goes from good to GREAT!
This was a great time!!!
Fantastyczni ludzie, fantastyczny koncert.
Tak to się właśnie robi!
Billy Gibbons, the ultimate Mr. Cool!
I met him recently and he was so nice. He even asked if we could take a pic together. That pic hangs on my wall. ❤
Coolest man in rock n roll Billy Gibbons 🤘🏻
Billy is Bad. He's Nationwide 👍
Awesome. A pair of legends
Could seeing Billy Joel live get cooler! 😎 It just did.
YESSSS !!!!! 😃❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
