- Another great performance from a great show. Billy Gibbons is a huge Peter Green fan and you can tell in this arrangement. Absolutely amazing. There aren't many bands that do this kind of stuff any more.
As a drummer for 53 years in Texas, playing the blues, country, even tejano, I can say this is true blues 1970 style. My love of ZZ Top began with Rio Grande Mud LP. Seen 'em 5 times in 45 years. Love seeing these old live shots of the early years.
This is real nice. The beardless Billy Gibbons. Love the no beard/short beard band. They could smoke the blues.
I'm with you brah- lose the beard and the synth
Saw ZZ top 1972...When Gibbons was doing the "Singing Auctioneer" bit, They said they were doing a song from theri new Album....Rio Grande Mud....the song was Just Got Paid !!
Just Got Paid is the definitive ZZ.
Love that song. First two albums were the best.
Saw their first big show in Sam Houston Coliseum. They played with the original Allman Brothers and the new Eric Burden and the animals. Billy led off with Rattlesnake Shake;what a show!
Where the Beatles and Judy Garland once played.
What an amazing guitar tone. Love it when the band kicks in.
FANTASTIC rare track from the awesome ZZ TOP who went on to be the best blues rock band out there, and still are over 40 years later, I just love em and always will!!!
they formed in '69, and are the longest lasting, original band.
6 yrs later, we've lost Dusty.
More like 52 years.
I live in Houston but saw them play this in NYC among other places back around 1973-5,I asked Billy why it was never included on the live side of Fandango.He said hed bring me a board recording of it when I asked him about ten years ago..still waiting
Rattlesnake Shake was the first song i learned by Top. it was the 'B' side of Shakin your Tree (45) on the jukebox at the Teen house in Nederland, Tx just before their first album was released. I just turned 15 and was with some band members I used to jam with back stage to meet the Boyz. I'v been trying to find a copy of that 45 for decades. If you ever get a copy of that version, hit me up. I had a stroke last year so I'm not able to play guitar yet but I wont be down for long. I played it to the best of my recollection ever since high school, ha! (long time) I'v never had the track for others to hear. My name is Roger Schoolfield - rangerrog@netzero.net- It's my favorite song, so It just may be the cure I need, ha! Top forever!!!
@@rangerrog hey bro hope you recover FULLY AND SOON from your stroke. 👍👍🎸🎸
I remember seeing a 20 something beardless Billy and boys. Billy walked to the front of the stage with his cockroach killers pointing straight into the crowd and blasted us into rock and blues ecstasy.
God this is superb, you can tell Peter green was a big influence on Billy!! Thanks for posting this!!!
Met Billy & His El Dorado with huge Horns on front in '73/74 at a gas station 🚉⛽ I worked at in Chicagoland
I was in Macon at the Macon Coliseum 1974 Billy Gibbons and dusty hill put the stage on fire gibson sunburst led paul just a smoking God bless dusty jamiejoe converse zephyrhills florida
Holy shit,that tone...woah!Thought it pretty cool how he combined "Shake" with "Oh,Well"!As many times as I've seen ZZ I ain't never heard this one!WOW!!!Awesome how they tipped their hats to Fleetwood Mac!Great stuff!
Billy had a superb grasp of fear, feeling , finesse, taste, tone and tenacity But it wasn't commercial enough So the band morphed into something a little slick, Have mercy!
This is a version of Peter Green, for whom Billy felt admiration and influence in turn
dont know how many times ive listened to this, man this is something else...so good!
Yes,Fantastic . WALTER B.Memphis. I 🎼🎸🥁💯
My wife said "It sounds like we're heading down to The Crossroads" :D
No recent comments? Whu??? ZZ Top! Awesome beyond what you know. Nuthin to argu bout! Lurn dude!
Haus in Wranglers & Boots...
You guys did this in Austin at an outdoor festival 1971-72 (?), yeah ya did! Clear Light Acid and ZZTOP, swirling in my 'square-dance' squaw dress & stewart-romero, turquoise cowgirl boots...whatta freaking GAS!!!
THANK YOU!
I don't quite know what made them sound like a 5 man band,but they were that little ol' 3 man band from Houston TX. ZZ TOP
Ah haw haw haw haw
Theres an excellent live version of Rattlesnake Shake done by David Lindley and ElRayo-X on a commercially produced radio show LP, a Westwood One or King Biscuit Flour Hour show, can't remember which.....Lindley's lap steel slide is just wailin'!
Cool. Some great photos along with this as well. Nice. Thanks for posting.
The *only* Reverend I've never fell asleep listenin to 😎
Billy nailed it
Still a killer jam from macon Georgia 1974 jamiejoe converse
Damn shame the live version of this song never got an official release.
A tribute to the late GREENIE- RIP 🙏
BLUES ROCK LEGENDS.cheers
Love the audience responding
Billy shoulda stuck with that Les Paul. Those car shaped and furry guitars can’t hold a candle.
Love The Blues!
1974 I was 10 years old macon Georgia I snuck a bottle of mad dog grape wine in there way before they hit fandango les paul just a smoking jamiejoe
Billy Gibbons is a god Frank beard is a god and dusty hill is a God I loved them since I was a kid
Awesome.
Saw them do this opening for the Stones in Hawaii.
I've got ten toes... I count them every night... four on the left... and six on the right...!!!
Didn`t get much better than cruising around in my buddy's mother's Cutlass with "Fandango" maxed out on the casette player.
8 track was so much better (not)!
8 track.
Only tape we had.
@@c.e.anderson558 when I was in high school (early to mid 70's) I was installing Lear (yes, a division of Lear Jet) and AR (Automatic Radio) 8-track players into the cars of my slightly older gearhead buddies (before I was even able to drive). Less than a decade later i was installing biamped or triamped systems with Alpine, Kenwood or even Nakamichi cassette tape players !
@@goodun2974 those were good decks. The amps were not as big in the early 80’s so we had triamp everything at least if you wanted any bottom end. I remember working for a decent shop in Ft Meyers Fl in 84 or so as a kid. Bought both my car and home systems while I worked there - the only way I could afford them. Still had to take a loan so big that it was until I bought a new car in my 30’s that I spent more! Worth every penny - I kept the home stuff until I was 40. It was that good. Car stuff was stolen of course. Good times.
Where did you get these fantastic pictures of a twenty-something Gibbons?
matt walker ther's plenty floatin aroudn on teh net, got some from friends, some are mine.
Like I always say :: Texas should have been it's own country unto itself. The 2 best presidents we had since '63 came from Texas; if not for a guy from Lubbock, Texas,,,. there'd have been no beatles. And ZZ Top in the '70s was the injection Rock needed for the planet !!!
Oh Yeah!
So agree......
Well..... Hell yes..... :-)
cool!
....I've always known that Slim Harpo and Elmore James were the ZZ's big influences. I've got to say, Fleetwood Mac might be one too........but remember there are 3 distinctly different iterations of Fleetwood Mac. The first, the Peter Green Fleetwood Mac, the hands down BEST, imho. Then the Bob Welsh Fleetwood Mac, not too shabby. And the financially successful version/soulless at best, Lindsy Buckingham/Stevie Nix version.........let the battle begin..........
Yes, they were strongly influenced by the British Bands, there was a piece in a magazine where BG told of how they got they're first Marshalls from Jeff Beck. You can hear how BG was also influenced by Free and Kossoff, listen to Chevrolet and Balinese, you can hear the Kos influence. Gibbons also spoke a lot about his friendship with Kossoff. Thanks.
I wonder if this is the same concert they played a fantastic version of Little Red Rooster.
i miss the early quiet crowds?
We were all just to stoned to make noise ,that's what ZZ Top was there for. LOL
Anyone know the date and/or venue of this video?
It was a FT Worth show in '71 or '72
@@joetamm Many many thanks dude! I found the show, 1972/02/25 at Tarrant County Civic Center.
this is why I became a zz top acolyte- the 80s and synth music made em a lot of $$ but I can't listen to it
Thar B tone.
Billy was a darn handsome man until …..well, you know what.
In the good old days before the stupid producers tried to make them a synth band.
The Eighties mostly sucked ---- because of MTV the visual aspect of the band became more important than the actual music. Also, recording engineers homogenized everything to the point where every record sounded pretty much the same no matter who the band was ---- every studio had 32 to 64 tracks to play with, and so they just had to use them all, spending days or weeks doing overdubs, perhaps for each and every song. It was no longer fashionable to leave space between the instrumentation, and recordings became denser and more cluttered than a Phil Spector record. Every record sound hashy and compressed, with the same fake handclaps, triggered drums and triggered synths. Uggh.
