Im a 62 year old man, and the first and only time I ever shed tears over the loss of a celebrity when Dusty Hill 1/3 of ZZTOP left the building for that great venue in the sky. It broke my heart, ZZTOP, though ten years older than I, are my teenage years idols. I’ve been to so many of there shows OVER THE decades including the second to last show Dusty performed at (Soaring Eagle Casino) in Mt Pleasant MI. 7/17/21 I was lucky enough meet Billy Gibbons by chance at a L. A. Auto museum in the parking garage, in 2005, he pulled in right next to us to park and I get out and to him for a picture with him, he was so humble and gracious to entertain me a fan with his time, we talked 20 minutes about what I just was checking out in museum, his cars guitars n motorcycles that were on loan to museum. God Speed Dusty RIP #ZZTOPFOREVER
When you're 12 and TV and is on and you hear that Ford coupe revving up! Then your neck snaps when you hear them notes of Hard blues the horsepower ahh and the girls...ahh the girls. That is 1983! Sweet memories thank you Dusty RIP.
Same for me Bill. I was 12 getting my introduction to the Texas Blues Band . I remember the local kids playing the El Loco album and not having a clue …when Eliminator hit 💥 boom ! I couldn’t do anything but live that Texas sound .
I saw ZZ in Tucson 15 years ago and I realized that they are the coolest band ever. I knew they were cool before I saw them, but after that concert Holy Shit!
I been listening and learning licks from them since 1974.their first album and Rio Grande mud was all I played.still got them.wouldn't trade nothin for them.going to hand them down to gr.children too.part of my history of growing up.tuned me on to blues.Muddy waters,John Lee Hooker. and Freddy king.keep it real simple and fun.keep it up.
Yeahman. I must have been 12 or 13 when i started listening to them. Think i had one or two of their songs going, just by trying to follow the bass notes on an old classical guitar. Wouldn't have had a clue how Billy was doing all that then, but a few years later i started trying to learn that guitar.. and i guess something clicked cos i can play Fandango to Afterburner now. Love ZZTOP!
indeed, however if you have enough motivation to look for it, you can still find good music coming out (just independently released with no record label backing or promotion to support it)
In the early to mid 70's, my best friend lived pretty much right down the street from Billy Gibbons. You could often hear guitar music in the evening if you were outside, but it was some time before she told me that Billy Gibbons lived down there.
I remember growing up in Milwaukee, WI in the '70s and in s clear night I could pick up those cross border stations. I was 90 miles north of Chicago. I remember hearing Heard It On The X and...holy crap..I knew immediately what they were singing about once I found out that the X was one of those cross border stations I'd listen to as a kid and young teen.
Y’all had some kick ass stage shows in early 80’s El Loco will always be my favorite show out of close to 100 total. Most in The Greensboro Coliseum and venues in NC, SC, and VA… See y’all in NC in a few months
I live bout a 1 1/2 southeast of Florence and had no idea they recorded here. That awesome my fav band recorded in my state, I bet it was at the original fame studio since Rev Willie G said the sound shack
Амерека , которую мы любили !!! Восхищение с первых аккордов, ещё с 80-х, когда услышал впервые.👌👍😎 Как жаль, что теперь нет с нами одного парняги! 😥 Надеюсь, Христос простит ему пригрешения его! Царствие небесное! Настоящие мужики !!!
there are just some people out there that you expect to live forever like they're immortal the members of ZZTOP for me are those people becauae for me every song just made me smile
As a UK resident I first heard of ZZ Top when they played the legendary Channel 4 show The Tube in early 80s. Then they were everywhere with their vids of cars and girls, mainly playboy playmates. Remember learning to play Rough Boy with some mates in 86, 87 ish. Currently having another go at mastering Legs, but Billy's a hard act to master. What is there not to like about them? Thanks for posting.
I went to the Warehouse, to see ZZ Top, they came on about 10pm, we left the Warehouse at about 4, Top was still Jaming, I think I saw about 8 or 10 times at a Warehouse, they were Phenomenal, and played about 3 or 5 hours each time, we left cause I had to go to work, but I stayed all the other times for the full show, it was definitely a gas, gas, gas ¡😎¡
It is so awesome. El Diablo is my favorite ZZ Top tune and Tejas was my first album ever...I found it as a kid on the sidewalk in New Mexico all melted and warped but it still played. I got in trouble because of Tube Snake Boogie playing when my dad heard it but I had no idea at the time ... 🥺🥺🥺
He inherited the "Coolest Dude in the world title after Lemmy died. Listen io "Whorehouse Blues" live version. Joe Walsh is the next in the line of succession, Keith Richards is the last choice, because he will never die! Long Live Keith!
I'm 65 my kids keep on telling to turn the music down,....is there something wrong with this picture..? wish they had radio station in Australia like that... love Texas Blues... Swing...🎸❤️
seen ya when alice cooper did his welcome to my nightmare tour in the 70's at capital center in Largo, Md. and I musta been to 4 or 5 shows since and haven't stop listening to ya yet partners. scobieakalinkwrayband laurel, md. be wild not evil
The song is called "Apologies to Pearly" from the Album "RIO GRANDE MUD". It sounded so familiar to me, I thaught first of the Albums "Fandango" or "Deguello". ZZ TOP has a lot of songs :-) I think, it's only an instrumental. And ZZ TOP has only a few of them. Have a nice day Greetings from Hamburg, Germany
No mention of Dusty Hill and Frank Beard playing in the fake version of The Zombies? Also...I think Frank Beard is the twin brother of televangelist Robert Tilton. He may even actually BE Robert Tilton. Koombata lambada dobosoya!
First song I heard from these guys was Mexican blackbird... maybe 10 -12 never looked back..on the turn table ,jukebox in lilhole in the wall bars ,whores houses...ZZRulez....ps Billy let power crews use his property to stage😘after Ike .I was there but not blessed enuff to be on his property.Heads up to the UFO bar great beerselection an Great People!!!!!!thanx for the chill time!¡!!
MTV is why they changed it up. They cashed in big time but I never felt like they sold out. They are still one of my all time favorites. But you're right their first few albums are gold.
Great vid.....you know it is time to commit to boycotting ANY product advertised proceeding or during videos on RUclips. You might be looking at something that is sensitive or means something and be blasted with some haphazardly placed pathetic crap product typically making consumers look like complete morons. Don’t buy these worthless products.
That god awful, for the most part, 80’s phase. Basically the latter part of this “documentary”. I just don’t get it when compared to their earlier gold...

Great story brother. That's exactly how I would picture them-gracious and down to earth.
There will never be another ZZ Top. Super Texas Boogie Blues....... God Bless their Hearts.......!!!!!!!!!
First saw ZZ Top in 1973, Mobile, Alabama. My ears are still ringing. RIP, Dusty ... see you soon

Great guys and a great band equal great music! Thank you for all the great memories and music, "Tres Hombres"! 👍💖🎸😎
Happy Rainbow Trails, Dusty. Thanks for all the music!
zztop was the original heavy rock/blues band,you cant deny it
Man, I miss the recording industry....may it rest in peace.
indeed, however if you have enough motivation to look for it, you can still find good music coming out (just independently released with no record label backing or promotion to support it)
Passed by the Capitol Records building in LA a few weeks ago, and thought to myself,.....Man, I should have been here 30 years ago!

Same. Las Angeles California. 1964
Thank you so much for this awesome documentary.
I believe they are the greatest band ever.
putting that "pearly gates" 59 les paul in Billy Gibbons hands changed music history for sure!
No it didn't.
@@stevejackson2986 Billy Gibbons+Dusty Hill+ Frank Beard is Blues,Rock, Southern Rock, Hillbilly Music
Hahahaha Michael!!! That was spot on! Great band, great musicians. One of my favorite!
Life is short b kind & play the blues and just enjoy this short time we live here Rip dusty

I like to say ZZ Top is by far the best 3 piece band .

Tres Hombres and Degüello and Fandango are legendary. Frank Beard's playing on Fandango (Side 1, live } is outstanding
3 cool down to earth guys who boogie
ZZ Top will live on for ever n Texas

Bad to the Bone and nobody better
The radio was my link to the zztop
Love the fact that the only guy without a beard is called Beard.
Dusty Hill one of the reasons I picked up a bass guitar at the age of 47.
ZZ Top
Dusty Hill is one of the coolest Human beings to ever live.
I AGREE WHOLE HEARTEDLY RIP DUSTY 🎸👍😎

The irony in that the one guy who's named Beard doesn't have one!
at least he has beard in his surname ;)
Yea what else, super long barrel? 238 what else do u want from me.
ZZ Top said nothing about Tejas their 5th album, not much radio play but I love it as much as Tres Hombres and Fandango.
Tejas is my favorite ZZ Top album
Tejas is my favorite ZZ Top LP. I've had it on vinyl since it came out.
My Favorite is Tree Homers,Fandango,Tejas,1979 Delugido,El Loco,Eliminator,Afterburner
It is so awesome. El Diablo is my favorite ZZ Top tune and Tejas was my first album ever...I found it as a kid on the sidewalk in New Mexico all melted and warped but it still played. I got in trouble because of Tube Snake Boogie playing when my dad heard it but I had no idea at the time ... 🥺🥺🥺
Arrested for drivin while blind is really good too. I need to listen to this album more, the unsung one.
The world's greatest rock band
Wigiiiiiiiii stil love it
Where do i find that kind of sun glasses like Mr. Beard have?!
Frank Beard has the same hairstyle as Eazy-E
Oprahs FatAss Frank Beard is Eazy’s dad
Are zz top 70s concerts forgotten?
Or not meant to be released?
3:57 what song is that
Asleep In The Desert.
It's the last track on Tejas, and the only time you'll ever hear Billy play acoustic.
@@sarge9733 thanks
He inherited the "Coolest Dude in the world title after Lemmy died. Listen io "Whorehouse Blues" live version. Joe Walsh is the next in the line of succession, Keith Richards is the last choice, because he will never die! Long Live Keith!

Leopardus Jacobitus What is the song that is played at 2:47?
The song is called "Apologies to Pearly" from the Album "RIO GRANDE MUD". It sounded so familiar to me, I thaught first of the Albums "Fandango" or "Deguello". ZZ TOP has a lot of songs :-) I think, it's only an instrumental. And ZZ TOP has only a few of them.
Have a nice day
Greetings from Hamburg, Germany
I am still with ya, have been sent muddy water and brown sugar.
ZZ Top's first album they credit Frank Beard's name as rube
No mention of Dusty Hill and Frank Beard playing in the fake version of The Zombies?
Also...I think Frank Beard is the twin brother of televangelist Robert Tilton. He may even actually BE Robert Tilton. Koombata lambada dobosoya!
Why is there no old footage from the 70's of zz too?
+Dawson Nichols nobody gave a shit, the 1st album hit uk in 78,4 year's after release,when was was your 1st album Dawson?
+Bob walker planning for release in 2017. And by the way "zz tops first album" was released in 1970 not 1974.
Dawson Nichols released 1971, produced 1970.
There is footage of them playing in the 70's and you and everybody who liked your comment is severely fucked in the head.
Rest in peace Dusty Hill
The Epitome of Cool
It's one of those self-driving cars!!
First song I heard from these guys was Mexican blackbird... maybe 10 -12 never looked back..on the turn table ,jukebox in lilhole in the wall bars ,whores houses...ZZRulez....ps Billy let power crews use his property to stage😘after Ike .I was there but not blessed enuff to be on his property.Heads up to the UFO bar great beerselection an Great People!!!!!!thanx for the chill time!¡!!

Something about ZZ's interviews. Even today..I have not seen anything positive..
Who else is watching this for Mellys class.
Three the Manuel away and just play
Who's gibbons and who's Hill?
Billy got straight cut at bottom of beard, Dusty got the twin forked parts. Or when the interview shows all 3, Billy on left Dusty on the right.
No it is not.
Nhothing bigger or bhether thane la Grache
Le son est pourrav mais c 'est du zztop authentique
