Gotta love ZZ TOP! Saw them live 4 times. First time way back in 1973 they opened for Alice Cooper on the Billion Dollar Babies tour. The next three times as headliners. Each time amazing! 😎🎼🎶🎵🇨🇦🇨🇦
Texas Pride. ZZ went to school with my brother in South Houston….all kinds of stories I could tell. In later years, settle in our little town of Katy, Texas. They would just pop-up and start jamming. Great fun!
Greetz from Hamburg, Germany. Rockpalast = Rock Palace. WDR = West-Deutscher Rundfunk = West-German Broadcasting As you can guess from the name this was basically blues, rock'n'roll, or harder music. The "Rockpalast" was a series of live concerts, often broadcast completely uninterrrupted for the whole concert, including full audience participation. While many broadcasting stations called their concerts 'live' because they were RECORDED from a live performance but aired much later, the WDR "Rockpalast" actually often WAS directly broadcast live, absolutely no filters between recording and broadcasting. What happened, happened, no matter how much time it took, or how many encores the band decided to throw in. That's why some of the concerts had that raw, unpolished feel to them because no clean-up of the sound was possible (auto-tune hadn't existed yet, and many of the bands would have frowned on using such a 'cheat' themselves). You got what the mics picked up, period. The audience often was up close and personal with the bands as well. Rarely did any security barriers block the audience from the stage. They often allowed smaller, fairly unknown bands a chance as well. OK, agreed, ZZ Top was not a small act even then in 1980.
I live in El Paso Texas and there was an X Station right across the border in Juarez Mexico XROK 80 am, as a Kid in the early 70's it was the first time I ever heard Led Zeppelin on the radio
Eduardo, I lived in Waco in 1977, and we could get it, if it was clear, at night, way out at the lake. It was so special to us! They played stuff our local stations would never. I still remember their call sign announcement, a woman’s voice saying “Ekke Erray Oh Kah, Juarez, Mexico.” They were saying XROK, which I knew, but I loved hearing the Spanish pronunciation. Good memories!
Saw them many decades ago, great show. Guitarist Billy Gibbons taught Hendrix how to use a slide on his guitar. The drummer doesn’t have a beard but his name is Frank Beard. Fandango is the Album this song is on, listen to the whole album. You guys are great 👍
(50 year anniversary last year) Time keeps on ticking... Going through a box of old ticket stubs not long ago.I was blessed. My first rock concert: May 19, 1973 (lol yeah, I'm old, but still above the dirt...) East Tennessee State University Rory Gallagher ZZ Top $4 It was about two months before Tres Hombres came out. (Dusty Hill's 24th birthday, I came to find out on his passing) It was Festival Seating and I managed to get about 15 feet from mic center. Rory Gallagher was pure fire right out of the gate, and his band was phenomenal. (particularly Lou Martin on his electric piano) Rory was amazing to see play and I think that he had as much fun as anyone. Then, Billy Gibbons and the boys came out. Back when they were the most badass blues rock band that ever was. Straw hats, jeans, no beards (but Frank. lol), and BG in a white tshirt w/ pack of Marlboros rolled up in the sleeve(lol). Needless to say, Rory and Billy made a big impression on a 16 yr old. Blues rock, slide guitar nut ever since. RIP Rory, Rod, Lou, & Dusty. Thank You! Keep Rockin' Billy, Frank, & Gerry
These guys have so much swagger and seem to genuinely love performing! They've got a ton of great songs worth reacting to. Regarding that Texas vibe you're talking about... That's the Blues!
FYI the X is in reference to a radio station based in Tijuanna Mexico XROK Late at night we could tune it in on our AM radios, If you wanted Rock ,, that's where you got it from !
So glad you young guys are listening to us old timers music! Maybe you guys can help our music continue on after we're gone. Thank you so much for this reaction video. Stay healthy and safe, and may God bless you guys.
In addition to Z Z and SRV, y'all know who else is from TEXAS? 🇨🇱 Edgar Winter, Johnny Winter, and Janis Joplin! They all attended Port Arthur high school and when Janis was a senior they were all there at the same time! What a blues band that could have become! Out in west TEXAS 🇨🇱 we had Waylon Jennings, Buddy Holly, and Pantera! We give the world as much h music as we can! 🇨🇱💯😅🤣❤✌
I saw them live back in the late 70s, I think it was the Deguelo tour. You would probably recognize songs from their breakthrough album Eliminator and the accompanying videos with the cool coupe and hot women on the songs Legs, Sharp Dressed Man or Gimme All Your Lovin. Any of those videos are fun, but before that they were a gritty (husky) Texas blues and boogie rock band as their first four albums are still my favorites, especially Tres Hombres (featuring the song LaGrange) and Fandango (featuring the song Tush). BTW, they are still around and the same three members. The word is a new album is coming out soon with some tracks leftover from guitarist Billy Gibbons soon to be released solo album.
Love ZZZ great reaction as always so now that pandoras box is open in your own time if that's possible the live side of fandango will blow you away it has a cover of Elvis blue swede shoe's got to Mello down its awesome one of the best albums FANDANGO THE LIVE SIDE BE WELL
I've never seen them in concert. However I once sat behind Billie Gibbons in a Text Mex restaurant called Leo's in Houston Texas when I was 7 or 8 years old. No I didn't know it was him or who it was at the time. My dad told me who it was later cause I noticed people staring when he came into the restaurant. He had his beard hidden under his shirt and a hat on. It was obvious that everyone knew who he was when he walked in. I myself had no clue until my parents told me
Those who don't list Billy Gibbons as one of the great guitarists haven't been listening! This is one of my all time favorites of theirs. What a 3 piece band makes you realize if the band is good or not because they all have to be good or the band doesn't work and they WORK!
One of their top 5 songs to me...and early,too.Try” My Head’s in Mississippi”.Over 50 plus years together...same 3 people.I bet you have heard” Lagrange”before.
This cant get any more ironic. This version of this song w/Dusty out front is brutal. This is him and ZZ Top at their most filthy. If this dont move your head and feet, you need to go ahead and fall over because you're dead. Anyway, RIP to the great Dusty Hill..what run, cowboy. Thanks for a lifetime of great songs🤘
You had me at ZZ Top But to react to this often-overlooked Jewel oh, hell you done won me over! Hi Fi Mama?! Bad Girl Blue jeab blues But mostly.. Waiting for the bus / Jesus done left Chicago
OK I screwed up please forgive me it's not blue swede shoe's it jailhouse rock wow and I've listened to this album a thousand times you should listen to it you don't have to react it was a 1975 live show really shows the talent no mv or footage that I know of sorry someone had had a life change you awesome and the blue hair is back baby love it ,it's you 💙
There is another Pride of Texas. Selena. At the age of 17 years old, she was the first female to be Accepted into the full-on male genre of Latino music. Not a Patrion but, y’all would be missing out not seeing her perform at the Houston Astrodome: Selena - Disco Medley Within a month later, she would be murdered by her Fan Club President.
The X was an outlaw station . There was a Station in Chicago in the ''80s that was great . I know y'all don't listen to non paying members but a great documentary is " When Dallas Rocked ". Sorry this won't be heard !
Hey will you guys react to Starz a band from the 80's they kick ass nobody else has the guts to do it the song VIOLATION or S.T.E.A.D.Y or sing it shout it no one to my knowledge has done it
![CAMPปลิ้น | รวม Highlight 2024! PART [1/2]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/6hnvNnvYloU/mqdefault.jpg)
I have always been astounded at the amount of sheer musical power that these three guys are able to generate!
The “little ole band from Texas.” Yall definitely need to do more! ZZ and SRV and Willie Nelson are our state treasures 🤘
Gotta love ZZ TOP! Saw them live 4 times. First time way back in 1973 they opened for Alice Cooper on the Billion Dollar Babies tour. The next three times as headliners. Each time amazing! 😎🎼🎶🎵🇨🇦🇨🇦

XEROK, Juarez, Mexico. Listened to it all the time, too!
Exactly what they are singing about.

Keep going back tres hombras album. Jesus just left Chicago , blues dripped soulful. Tush, asleep at the wheel fav.Lagrange.
You just can't go wrong with Billy Gibbons and ZZ Topp.
You guys have NO IDEA how AWESOME this band is . But thanks for reacting
Netflix has an hour long special on ZZ TOP that will answer all your questions!!! It is fantastic
Rockpalast is still on TV here in Germany
Watch this whole concert and you will see one of the coolest bands ever at their peak
Saw them New Years Eve 1980-81 in Dallas, my ears still ringing, awesome!
This one sure gets me moving
The absolute best live performances to see. I've been lucky to see these guys 12 times now. RiP Dusty. You are sadly missed by all your fans.
(50 year anniversary last year)
Time keeps on ticking...
Going through a box of old ticket stubs not long ago.I was blessed. My first rock concert:
May 19, 1973 (lol yeah, I'm old, but still above the dirt...)
East Tennessee State University
Rory Gallagher

Keep Rockin' Billy, Frank, & Gerry
Good reaction to the mighty ZZ Top. I'm still on a high after Nightwish live gig last night.
These guys have so much swagger and seem to genuinely love performing! They've got a ton of great songs worth reacting to. Regarding that Texas vibe you're talking about... That's the Blues!
FYI the X is in reference to a radio station based in Tijuanna Mexico XROK
Late at night we could tune it in on our AM radios,
If you wanted Rock ,, that's where you got it from !
Y'all are really missing some great stuff. Keep em coming. Jesus went to Chicago/ waiting on a bus. Good blue's.
A really bad ass song from the album Fandango is The Backdoor Medley, my all times best ZZ Top song 😎🎸🥁🎤
Thank you! I’ve never seen this concert. Love it!
Mexican border radio stations were not subject to FCC restrictions on broadcasting power, and could be heard for many hundreds of miles.
So glad you young guys are listening to us old timers music! Maybe you guys can help our music continue on after we're gone. Thank you so much for this reaction video. Stay healthy and safe, and may God bless you guys.
Now you need to do Waiting For The Bus/Jesus Just left Chicago. And yes it is one whole track technically by ZZ Top. It's glorious Texas blues.
In addition to Z Z and SRV, y'all know who else is from TEXAS? 🇨🇱 Edgar Winter, Johnny Winter, and Janis Joplin!

You need to watch their performance of Jailhouse Rock leading into their own song Tush from this same show.
That song is about an outlaw radio station some guy ran out of his car

Those who don't list Billy Gibbons as one of the great guitarists haven't been listening! This is one of my all time favorites of theirs. What a 3 piece band makes you realize if the band is good or not because they all have to be good or the band doesn't work and they WORK!
