The Rev's fingers might not be as nimble as they were in his 20's, but at 72 years old, those blues are still cooked into his soul. This is the first song I ever heard from ZZ Top back in 1972, and I still think their first album is one of the most underrated of all time.

The best live concert I ever saw(and I've seen many) was ZZ Top at Hampton Coliseum VA. May '73 and they were just hitting their national stride off Tres Hombres. Dusty+Billy G. had 3 stacks each of Rio Grande amps and Billy played Pearly Gates(1959 Les Paul). The energy they conveyed was incredible that night !!!###
Kathryn. I saw then twice when we were all much younger. Amazing sound for three guys. I don't enjoy these impromptu single mic recordings. It just seems like almost insulting to the musicians the acoustics are so outrageously bad.
Always wanted to see them. Bought tickets for the 2020 show literally days before shutdown. Got postponed from July 2020 to July 2021, then to September. In between, we lost Dusty. So sad!
I've been to a few of their shows and they are awesome and always sound good to,funtimes,fun times, Texas motor speedway was their best show by far,the echo is awesome,if they jam near you go see them good jams.
I knew a guy who followed this band and saw them over 30 times! He said it was amazing that Frank being a long time heroin addict could still play. I didn't believe him because junkies don't usually live that long. Then recently I saw a show about them and damn if Frank didn't only admit that he was a heroin user but he is STILL using it in 2022! He said he just loves it and has no intention of quitting! I was floored. Well.... good luck and God bless.
It's pretty difficult to play at that age,I'm 62 saw lot of bands,Rory,SRV,WINTER,I do not want to see guys who where top notch,playing like a cover band,I have seen clips of the Stones,YIKES,nobody can play,they just noodle,age is a bitch,and your on the H,ahhh no.
Where and what was that show? I saw an interview with all three of them when Dusty was alive and Frank said he was going into rehab, but he didn't elaborate.
The only reason heroin addicts die young is the lifestyle that you have to live to support your habit. Man, some of those opium heads lived to their 90's.
That’s exactly why I love these old boys! they don't give a shii and are have balls enough to play this great song. unlike the Stones, which is a big disappointment for me! ZZ Top gave up the lesson. 😎 Their damn cool looks anyway! originality shines from them from head to toe®️ and this Tele is the most beautiful I've ever seen! 🎸🔥 Thx 4 share!!!✌🏻
The Stones song, Brown Sugar, is about sex and rape with black slave girls, so in these days of sensitivity (shall we say), the stones are turning that side of things down. However, my own band regularly knocks out a storming version of The Stones Brown Sugar and it goes down really well.
I just saw them play this song in edmonton last night! And let me tell ya... they sound good! Dusty is missed for sure. But Elwood is a great bassist too. Frank is still kicking it hard core and Billie is on fire!
ZZ TOP C'EST LE TOP du ROCK FOLKLO ZUT J'ai garé ma MOTO.......hé hé hi hi ha ha ho ho quelquepart dans les années 8O........bon un peu d'humour cà fait pas de mal quand on a la tête dans le guidon........ZZ TOP j'ADORE

Hard to believe the stones refuse to play the classic brown sugar anymore. Ever notice how our former rock heros that actually represented counter culture and freedom of expression now are woke nerds. Its just a song that generations listened to and absolutely loved including many many people of color. We think these things we do to combat perceived racism, these pieces of rotten low hanging fruit like refuting or boycotting a song like brown sugar is helping. Its not. Its an empty gesture so we can tell ourselves we're making a difference. We're not. Its just ludicrous.
Being a drummer myself, always enjoying ZZ Top's studio recordings (except for when they changed their albums to a kind of "electro-drum sound"in the 80's and then back again TG), I cannot understand they stand out by sounding off-beat live so often. On many live-recordings it really troubling that the drummer and the others just do not click. If it was a listener issue, it would not differ so comparing 70's, 80's, 90's and 2000'-live recordings; then it would be noticeable in studio recordings, which it's not. It's a shame because it's one of my favourite groups.
Nationwide is a good tune. I think when their regular bassist was alive and playing he wore a hat too and looked more identical to the lead guitarist guy. I thought that was a neat unique thing about them. I'll have to listen to find out what you're talking about regarding their electro-techno stuff. I think I know what you mean and I agree 🎶
@@nitromartini1422 Listen to the original guitar solo. Then listen to how he plays all their great songs with fast solo’s. It’s like he can’t do it anymore. Unless you know of a recent performance where his speed is just as hot as it was in the 70’s, that you can drop a link to. I’d love to hear it!
@@johnwilliams1223 : I have heard every ZZ Top album and have seen them three times in concert. Gibbons never gets in a hurry about anything. He never has; he never will. I am almost as old as Gibbons, and I really don't understand your preoccupation with speed. Is your idea of music some kind of race?
@@nitromartini1422 It’s not a preoccupation. I’m simply saying that in the 70’s, he had many songs where his licks were fast. La Grange is one of them. I’m just saying that in 2022 he doesn’t play those licks the same way as he did the originals. So is that for a particular reason, or is he incapable? It’s a valid question. Eddie Van Halen never played any different than he always did up until the point of his death. So why does Billy Gibbons? Clearly you aren’t the one to be answering this question, because you either don’t understand my point, or you’re just being contrarian. So unless you can answer my question, don’t bother with a reply.
I mean ,i've been with the trio for over 40 years and 15 + concerts... all credit to Elwood Francis!! But he can't really replace Dusty, if Billy and Frank wanna keep playing, accept the guitar tech as member with or without fake beard. But as an original fan it is not the same, it can't be. We still love the music and the band, but Elwood is not Dusty. But we love Elwood too as great musician and guitar tech! By Billy: "Elwood Francis, the greatest guitar man on the planet, you got to love a man who will give you a gold guitar"...
Agree. New guy is good just different. I saw them a few times in the 80s and they were great and have seen them twice in past 10 years- seemed like they nailed it in. Totally rehearsed and quite short for a main act. Three Doors Down opened one night and I thought gave a better show. Not to take anything away from ZZ legacy.

The Rose is a killer venue... what a great show!
If you anybody has never seen ZZ live, you are missing one of the best live bands ever!
Glad we saw them live last year!
I saw them years ago on the same bill as Eric Clapton and Joe Cocker. What a night to remember.
Got that right and i've seen a whole lotta bands in my 59 years
Saw the Worldwide Texas Tour. Styx was the supporting act
I saw ZZ Top at three Rivers Stadium in 1975 hehblu Pittsburgh into the stratosphere
Me too
Elwood looks right as rain! Dusty will never be replaced, but just look at Elwood!
The best live concert I ever saw(and I've seen many) was ZZ Top at Hampton Coliseum VA. May '73 and they were just hitting their national stride off Tres Hombres. Dusty+Billy G. had 3 stacks each of Rio Grande amps and Billy played Pearly Gates(1959 Les Paul). The energy they conveyed was incredible that night !!!###
I saw them at the Tennessee State Fairgrounds when I was about 20.
Great, great live show.
I saw them that year..baukman turner overdrive opened for them..one of the best shows I ever witnessed
I saw them in Tucson in the 70s, still one of best ever, true living legends.
I was at this concert and it was incredible! Waited over a year for it (thanks Covid) and lost Dusty just prior. These guys bring it every time!
Kathryn. I saw then twice when we were all much younger. Amazing sound for three guys. I don't enjoy these impromptu single mic recordings. It just seems like almost insulting
to the musicians the acoustics are so outrageously bad.
Thank the Biden administration!!
Always wanted to see them. Bought tickets for the 2020 show literally days before shutdown. Got postponed from July 2020 to July 2021, then to September. In between, we lost Dusty. So sad!
ZZToP!!!Still Chuggin down tha ROAD !!!
Rest In Peace Dusty
You may Have Passed
But You’ll NEVER BE FORGOTTEN 🙏
ZZ has it all - ALL the ROCK - OUT & wayyyy DOWN...anyone needs!

J'adorais leur look, ZZ TOP ce sont des Musiciens très COOL

I'm glad they're still playing it. The Stones pulled their version:(
I've been to a few of their shows and they are awesome and always sound good to,funtimes,fun times, Texas motor speedway was their best show by far,the echo is awesome,if they jam near you go see them good jams.

Yeah, I don't think it's about raping anything, least of all a black, "slave" girl. What "slave"? More woke bullshit
Two different songs!
You’re talking about the wrong “Brown Sugar”. The Stones song ISN’T this one.

Billy is excellent

I couldn't think of music without some Billy G to add the sauce.
1st album the best in my opinion.. And eliminator.
Billy shores and showman that's how he gets paid still one of the best guitar players around
Yes he is probably one of the best around love me some ZZ top

I got to meet the a few years ago
I’m in the video lol.
The beards...goes on...
All 3 of them...
Billy Gibbons is the only member of ZZTop to actually own more than one gibbon. And something about beards…
Shepherd's Chapel Network !!!!!!! Pastor Murray is an Anointed Servant of GOD who teaches the Word of GOD with Authority!!!!!!!
Go proselytize someplace else. This is a music video, not a bulletin board for evangelical nut jobs.
At 63 years old I'm 5'9" wet and 150 pounds. I reckon Billy is 5'10" or 5'11" and maybe 160-165 tops. Skinny guys rock!
Me 62...6ft and 150 pounds max!
I was at the cheap sunglasse ture at the gig at the cow palace! No offense but I Miss dusty
R.I.P Dusty.
OKKO Diablo Dual Overdrive???
Saw them in 77
Little amp with shoe is Billy secret sound and amping to Marshalls . I forgot anvil under the amplifier.
The bass guitar doesn't sound the same when played with a pick. Dusty had that unique sound.
Started to feel queazy and sea sick after 3 mins.
Yeah, the idiot with the camera must have been drunk.
He's rockin it, leave it alone!

A lot of pedaling around and doing nothing. Don't get me wrong I like ZZ Top but why record this
Hey Ronny Rono have u seen ZZ top live this song is rarely played GEM
RIP Dusty, but Elwood is GOOD !
There are 3 people on stage…..
Tell him to bring a Pearly Gates Les Paul next time he knocks your doe
Not ZZ without Dusty, sorry.
Oh BOO HOO!
didn't recognize "brown sugar"
Me neither!
Is it me or did Billy G lose his speed?
It's you. Brown Sugar is a fairly slow song.
