Jimi was impressed. They opened for Jimi once and they played one of his songs. Jimi loved it and I believe even told them they had guts coming out and playing it.
That's from the the Tres Hombres album. Every song on it is great. This is the 3rd track on it. The first two tracks are perfect for leading into this one. You gotta listen to those two , "Waiting for the Bus" and "Jesus Just Left Chicago" back to back, as one song. Y'all will love it.
The last track on the first side is my favorite. Master of Sparks is just so cool, especially since it's based on a true story. Having fun out in the country.
Have to put in a plug for "Going down to Mexico. Steady trucking away, what a groove . Perfect road song. Still, nothing tops "Blue Jean Blues". BTW, back in the day, the two most common "cigarette" rolling papers were Zigzag and Top. Not saying anything, just saying.
this is exactly the era of ZZ Top that rocks! Backdoor Love Affair would be a great one for you to check out... Billy Gibbons and Dusty Hill shared vocals in this band!
I agree with you Lex! One of my favs by them. Way back when this was played at every Keg party we went to...and yeah we were Beer drinkers and hell raisers good times for real sigh..🍻 cheers guy's! 💕
OOOOOOH FINALLY......Yall dropped some HEAT on this one!!!...HENDRIX personally predicted Billy Gibbons would be one of our best guitarists in the future!....FACTS..and yes 2 voices....Billy and Dusty
Great reaction. As a 32 year guitar player I’m excited that Lex got a guitar; she has the passion, the ear, and the feel for subtlety. Can’t wait to hear you talk more about and share your experience learning Lex!
I love it when you react to the Little ole Band from Texas, especially since I'm in a ZZ Top Tribute Band called 3Z Top. From the Little ole Town of Turner, Maine!
I remember bringing in the New Year 1978-79 listening to this very song live in concert at the stroke of midnight! STILL have a noisemaker & a bag of confetti from that night! GREAT TIMES!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😁🥳🎶🎉🎶🤘
Oh hell yeah. Thanks so much for choosing this. One of their most bad ass songs. That gut bucket Texas boogie. As a guitar teacher here is my advice. Don't get frustrated and take it easy on yourself. Practice your ass off. Learn some chords and the Blues scales. Start slow and play the scales and licks thousands of times. You can do it!!
I have been fortunate to have seen “That Little Ol’ Band From Texas” Live 4 times. I recorded the last show (Full HD) before Dusty passed away. Always an awesome show. You must see many other tunes from them including “Rough Boy” (official video)…. “Same three guys, same three cords, for five decades” - Billy Gibbons at last show.
What an awesome album this was back in ‘73, as it came out in the summer right before heading to college! They played this album at every bar for awhile and was great while playing pool or foosball!
Yes! ZZ Top- please react to “Tubesnake Boogie” next- Such a groove AND I’d love see get y’all’s take on the meaning- either way, another great jam of theirs-🤘🏼
@@edwardlionheart2689 I will never forget when I was growing up and listened to ZZ Top constantly, I told my mom I wanted to give my girlfriend a pearl necklace for her birthday (I was around 12 or 13 I believe) lmao. I never understood why she gave me such a weird look until years later, but I recall saying something like "Don't all girls like pearl necklaces?" lol
Early ZZ was Texas boogie rock and blues. Their first offering was the first record I ever purchased. "Just Got Back From Baby's" is my favorite tune of theirs.
Saw these guys in concert back in the 70s when I was in high school - their stage was a big map of Texas. The arena was sold out; that was the most bikers I have ever seen in one place in my life, and I've seen some bikers. The air was a gray-green haze with left-handed smoke ... cops were patrolling the aisles, and they were frustrated - people were getting high all over the place, but if they were more than one seat in from the aisle, the cops didn't dare try to wade into the crowd to grab them . . . that was a wild show. One of the first concerts I ever saw and one of the best.
I really love watching you both. Lex feels it and Brad is very serious, your reactions brighten my day seriously. It’s so nice when people can have music in common.
When I was a senior in high school in 1979, we voted this song to be our senior class song! Of course, the stuffy class officers wouldn't allow it so we had to have another vote. This time we voted for Freebird. They still said no and they chose The Long and Winding Road. At graduation when it came time to sing the class song, none of us sang! It was beautiful!
Our 1986 class voted for Stairway To Heaven, and it wasn't allowed because some girls thought it had satanic backwards messages. So we had to settle for Good Times Roll by The Cars.
Billy sang the opening verse, then Dusty closes. They harmonize on the chorus. Gibbons absolutely shreds the guitar on this number. This was one red hot tune back in 1973.
This is the ZZ Top I grew up with. I received my first moving Violation in an automobile Rockin out to this song! Lol. I was 16 years old. Good times!... And that's the great Billy Gibbons on lead guitar. Lex....He used his 59 Gibson Les Paul Starburst guitar which he named " Pearly Gates on this song and most songs in their first 4 albums..... BTW. That's Billy singing First verse, then Dusty Hill, the bassist sings the second verse and then they alternate.... Billy plays lead, Dusty plays bass, Frank plays drums.... Always! I've seen them close to twenty times in my life. I've met Billy Gibbons... Thrill of a lifetime.....😊
LOL Miss Lex I just had to tell you that back in 1983 I was wearing that same snap on jacket and jamming out to ZZ Top. They were the very first concert I ever attended....I'm just laughing at how this brought it all back!! The best part is still being just as close with the girls I hung out with and having them here to laugh with about it!!!
Unfortunately, this is the remixed and remastered version of the original recording. Somewhere in the 90s, I think, they released all their stuff over again with the drum sounding massively different. Same Parts, but different effects on them. Much more Reverb. Gone was the fat, dry, killer 70 sound that I have always associated with ZZ Top.
@@jason677 from 1987 to 2006 you couldn't get the first 5 in the original mix, on CD at least. They have now released remasters of the classic 70s mixes on CD and in a vinyl box set called "Cinco." For some reason they included El Loco as the last album in the 6 Pack box from 87, so Deguello was never remixed or messed with.
I sure remember the eight track days brother I'm I graduated in 1982 from high school I got in the music real early age young young kid listening to Johnny Cash and then you know I went to the all the rock and roll concerts I could brother every time every day ever every time it come to town I was there brother reaching out but I yes yes I keep telling these people you don't don't get me wrong hey you know Eliminator was in my a day all right I love it but if you want to get into the cola Bud get the cola for Eliminator if it's easy top it on the band they got it going on you know they throwing down some good rock on whatever they do but the album with arrested arrested for driving while blind you know that's goes some real good rock and roll on their brother and tell me how many times you ever hear any of those songs? And what's what I'm saying brother it's kick it kick butt kick butt it's not top 20 but I it's kicking butt
I have such I'm sure you remember the group heart and I love I love the heart to see them about three or four times in concert you know what I'm saying. I really like the the woman singing for heart the Wilson sisters Ann and Nancy she sings so son of love alive a lot alive Little Queen Dog & a butterfly dog and a butterfly it's stuff like this that needs to be played not their newest or their most popular the heart of it what they was trying to do to to be mainstream alright when they was hungry hey alright
The secret to playing the guitar effortlessly like some people can do is to just do the same thing over and over and over and over until your hands will just do it without you having to think about it. You have to develop smart fingers and hands. It's all about repetition. When you've played around enough to find yourself do something that sounds cool, just do that one thing a hundred times. Then when you find a second thing you can do, do that a hundred times. Just keep adding a new thing you can do and keep repeating it over and over until you just do it without thinking about it.
I remember as a teenager in the late 70s cruise in my 69 gto judge convertible to the badas@ 8track I had. Lol brad glad to hear you say that it takes dedication and so many hours of work. In the 70s we didn't have the resources there is today. If you want to learn to play you need to hang out with people that play it will rub off. Check out zz top.. Blue jean blues to understand his skills.
Ah, back me in to my childhood , thank you for reaction. R.I.P. great Dusty Hill, great man, vocalist and bass player , for me ZZ Top never be the same without Dusty.
@@neillenet291 Hurricane Ike totally ended any hopes of restoration. Hurricane Ike wiped me out too I lived in San Leon by Dusty Hills place at the time. I've known the song forever but I got the cup from someone in California.
@@kookiemonster3261 yeah that's one of my favorite songs by them, I love the story about them going into the little bar on the Gulf. I think it the first time I heard it was 1977.
This song has three, four line verses and a three line chorus that repeats three times. Billy Gibbons begins singing each verse, singing lines one and three while Dusty Hill sings lines two and four. Billy Gibbons sings line one of the chorus, Dusty Hill sings line two, and they both harmonize on line three. Going into the lead after chorus two, "Ah, play it boy" is Dusty Hill. That's the vocal break down. It's not hard to tell who's singing. Their voices are quite different. When you hear "La Grange", that raspy, muddy sounding voice is Billy Gibbons. He sings the entire song. When you hear "Tush", the clear, higher pitched voice is Dusty Hill. He sings the entire song. Their voices worked very well together. "Bear Drinkers and Hell Raisers" is my favorite ZZ Top song, followed closing by "Tush". ZZ Top songs I recommend, "Francine", Heartbreaker", "Mexican Blackbird", "Arrested for Driving While Blind", and "Under Pressure".
@Brad & Lex Fandango was my 1st l.p. back in 75 (8 for 1 from Columbia House) However, Billy Gibbons was singing the lead part, and playing the 🎸 Then Dusty was the higher answering lyrics to what Billy was singing. They're both excellent singers in their own right (R.I.P Dusty 😢), but after Fandango they began changing their sound. So many old school fan's thought they sold out with Cheap Sunglasses 😬 Where that was when other's began liking them. The 80's had struck ‼️I did have La Grange and Mississippi Mud tho, and watching Lex's enjoyment which is so much like my own "still" made watching your loving this song a subscriber 🕺🎤🎸🎶 🎼💯
Glad you guys are putting in some time with your new guitar! If you can, stick with it. Just putting in the time will teach you so much about the music you're hearing.
They found MEGA success with their 1983 release of the “commercialized” Eliminator album…..This song is before that so therefore, like others before “Eliminator”, are total BANGERS !
This song makes me wanna knock down some beers, get lit, and act a fool. 😜 I don't recover as quickly as I once did, though, physically OR mentally- I cringe at the thought of "Do you remember what you said/did last night?!?" Ummm, nooooooo....and that's probably for the best. 🤣😂🤣😂😉

Definitely, Heard it on the X!!!!
If Jimi Hendrix was impressed, Wow! Billy is Da Man.
Jimi was impressed. They opened for Jimi once and they played one of his songs. Jimi loved it and I believe even told them they had guts coming out and playing it.

that's what I was going to say
Ditto...
this is exactly the era of ZZ Top that rocks! Backdoor Love Affair would be a great one for you to check out...
Billy Gibbons and Dusty Hill shared vocals in this band!
R.I.P. Dusty Hill
The tone of Billy's guitar is sublime. That's what makes it stand out.
1 guitarist, 1 bass player and 1 drummer equals perfection!!!!! So says Austin Tx!!!!😎🍸

Yeah. Gibbons is the one with the rougher voice, Hill's is more clean.

Been following this band for 30 something years. They definitely get you moving and Billy definitely gets his guitars to sing.
What an awesome album this was back in ‘73, as it came out in the summer right before heading to college! They played this album at every bar for awhile and was great while playing pool or foosball!
These dudes always put on a helluva show live, man. RIP, Dusty. Grew up on these guys in the 70s.
Discovered them in 1973 as a high school freshman. I was hooked for life.
Such a great ZZ Top song. Often overlooked. One of thier best.
You should listen to the entire album “Tres Hombres.” Every song is good.
Oh, I love this period of ZZ Top. Love the Tres Hombres album!
Yes! ZZ Top- please react to “Tubesnake Boogie” next- Such a groove AND I’d love see get y’all’s take on the meaning- either way, another great jam of theirs-🤘🏼

ZZ Top has so many great songs. If they had released songs like they do today, they would probably have had 50 top 40 hits.

Yeah, we tried in '74 to have the local Top 40 dedicate it to our class. No dice. They played some trash by Wings.

This song is perfection. This album is perfection.
And just exactly as tight and bright live as this song off the record. Incredible.
Starting in the 70s I saw them 5 or 6 times. Reverend Willie G was a guitar hero. Dusty... man, that dude could sing!
SO MANY great songs on that LP. One of the best records ever.
I used to Play guitar in ZZTOPP cover band. Billy Gibbons is a hard guy to imitate. He adds all kinds of cool bends and pinches.
Two singers, tag team vocals. Dusty and Billy.
Unfortunately, this is the remixed and remastered version of the original recording. Somewhere in the 90s, I think, they released all their stuff over again with the drum sounding massively different. Same Parts, but different effects on them. Much more Reverb. Gone was the fat, dry, killer 70 sound that I have always associated with ZZ Top.
That's interesting. Can you still buy the original? I saw them with Lynyrd Skynyrd in Philly about twenty years ago and was blown away

This song has three, four line verses and a three line chorus that repeats three times. Billy Gibbons begins singing each verse, singing lines one and three while Dusty Hill sings lines two and four. Billy Gibbons sings line one of the chorus, Dusty Hill sings line two, and they both harmonize on line three. Going into the lead after chorus two, "Ah, play it boy" is Dusty Hill. That's the vocal break down. It's not hard to tell who's singing. Their voices are quite different. When you hear "La Grange", that raspy, muddy sounding voice is Billy Gibbons. He sings the entire song. When you hear "Tush", the clear, higher pitched voice is Dusty Hill. He sings the entire song. Their voices worked very well together. "Bear Drinkers and Hell Raisers" is my favorite ZZ Top song, followed closing by "Tush". ZZ Top songs I recommend, "Francine", Heartbreaker", "Mexican Blackbird", "Arrested for Driving While Blind", and "Under Pressure".
Happy birthday Brad!!!!!

Two voices. Howling that “…HELLLL RAaisin’ …” is the late great Dusty Hill!

Glad you guys are putting in some time with your new guitar! If you can, stick with it. Just putting in the time will teach you so much about the music you're hearing.
It is one of the best songs and so is driving while Blind gotta do that one
The way Lex is describing how the guitar stands out, musicians often use the term "it cuts through the mix" to describe that.
Billy Gibbons and Dusty Hill played the guitars and sang, and Frank Beard does the drums. The drummer is also the one w/o the long beard.
I THANK YOU
great song...their first radio song I believe. An old blues standard. but they did it only the way ZZ Top can.
Billy Gibbons does have a guitar named "Pearly Gates". She's a 1959 Gibson Les Paul. Both Billy and Dusty were singing on this song.
Whole Lp is great, timeless.
Heard it on the X is another banger from this era.
They found MEGA success with their 1983 release of the “commercialized” Eliminator album…..This song is before that so therefore, like others before “Eliminator”, are total BANGERS !
From Elimintor on I didn't like them any more. Everything before was incredible
This song makes me wanna knock down some beers, get lit, and act a fool. 😜
I don't recover as quickly as I once did, though, physically OR mentally- I cringe at the thought of "Do you remember what you said/did last night?!?"
Ummm, nooooooo....and that's probably for the best. 🤣😂🤣😂😉
This is ZZ Top before the MTV Top
Never heard this one before, but it rocks. Yes, there's two voices singing this one.
Funny thing about ZZ Top: The only guy without a huge beard has Beard as a last name.
