In 1974 I was 14 and had worked all year after school and weekends to buy $900 bucks worth of Pioneer home stereo. My brother came home on leave from the Navy and put an LP from a group I'd never heard of on the platter and cranked it up, it was "Tres Hombres," 💥 mind blown! RIP Dusty 😢
With just one note Billy Gibbons blows my mind. One of the greatest bands on the planet. RIP Dusty, you’ll be missed by us all, but I’m glad that ZZ Top will keep rollin down the highway.
Frank is one of the best drummers in the world. The way he unites and cements ZZ Top music is simply a standard of perfection. He is one of the 3 drummers I know who play music, not beat rhythm. He's been - you do not need to hit a thousands beat a second to be the great musician.
We should all be grateful a band of this class and quality are still out there performing for us at the same level they always have done. They're in a different league to most.
I couldn't agree more, Stuart. I'm so glad Elwood has become their new bass player. Now they need to maybe cut back on RIP'ing Dusty, God rest his soul, and start giving Elwood equal space on the band's new promo posters. They won't take that important bold step forward until they do that.
I saw ZZ Top live once. It was on their Concrete and Steel tour. Extreme opened up for them. And to be honest, I only wanted to see Extreme. But I stayed and witnessed one of the best bands I have ever seen. They crushed it. Dusty will forever live through their music. RIP brother.
Damn .. Dusty's bass sound in this is so deep that it goes through the floor... right into basement where you keep all dusty secrets.. incredible recording again... I love RAW album big time 😎
Every time I see Billy Gibbons play I think of how Jimi Hendrix, when asked who his favorite guitar player was, said ‘this guy from Texas named Billy Gibbons.’
The first time l played "Rio Grande Mud" my Dad looked at the album cover and said "that's an awful lot of noise for just three guys". My brother and I just broke out laughing.
There's so many reasons why this video and the song itself are 100% badass! And the extra drag they put on this version just makes it groove that much more. R.I.P. Dusty, you will be sorely missed, but always celebrated! Thanks for 50+ years of amazing music and still going!
Three musicians at the very top of their game. This is what happens when you've been playing for more than 30 years. The drumming is out of this world - so solid and locked perfectly to the guitar riffs.
@@earledaniels4539 and as humble and respectful as SRV was he would still say the Rev, Dusty,and Frank was better...keep rocking those tunes bro love SRV still!🤘🏻🎸🤘🏻🔥🔥🔥
There isn’t a band I can think of who can keep writing and still sound just as good as 30+ years ago. The drums are so crisp, classic Frank Beard. RIP Dusty you legend, didn’t miss a note even if he had to scratch his beard
Im 13, and when I was 8 my dad introduced me to ZZ top. Everytime I listed to ZZ I thank him for changing my life. ZZ top has cemented their spot in my life and it is so much more than deserved. RIP Dusty Hill, always keep that Cadillac rollin down the road.
Jonah Tillman, Carry on child. You sound far beyond your young years in your appreciation. Wish more young people had dads like yours. Ling live Rock & Roll ✌️
SO SMOOTH ..I love how articulate Billy is.. he has this knack for picking out the best notes .The Bass and guitar were beautifully blended and this is a masterclass on playing slower but being so tight musically.
Love you guys since I was 10. Been listening to you for 47 years. Finally saw you the other night in Atlantic City, NJ. Great show. You still sound great. RIP Dusty Hill
God dammit I'm just thankful that I,ve been alive to witness these ol boys turn to legends! Keep on Rockin ZZ TOP . DUSTY RUN AND SLIDE UP TO THE PEARLY GATES AND SAY WOOOOOO WHAT A RIDE .
Kick ass "live" version. The recorded version is soooo greasy and in the pocket. This is an amazing version....what 40 years after the original recording. This is amazing. I am always drawn to Billy G as I am a guitar player, however Dusty is KILLLING this song. He is the motor that makes this song go...
I'm 69....my buddy and I at 21 years ole, saw these ZZ cats on a HUGE live concert stage in 1975. Unreal show! No beards, no bull$hit.... *STILL THE SAME* ...😎 (RIP DH)
It’s hard to believe that I was cutting my rock n roll teeth on ZZ Top 50 years ago and have seen them live 2nd row 🤘🏼 but these old school ones make me remember all my teenage back roads, beer drinkers and hell raisers days! On Fandango & Deguelo 🤘🏼
I had the opportunity to have a dad that would play ZZ Top constantly in fact he and mom took me twice to see them 1st was Fandango and 2nd Deguello on Halloween both shows were epic and some of the loudest I have ever seen Thanks dad ! rip Billy
"I was rollin' down the road in my V8 Ford..." Ah, the memories of this song pumping through the 8 track player of my Mach 1 Mustang. Seventeen years old and on top of the world.
Such a fucking signature, unmistakable ZZTop sound. Like this is the true mark of a legendary musician or a band....when you listen to a song blindfolded you know who it is. And with this song.... you don't need to even watch the video to know right from the first bar of the beginning riff that its damn right its a ZZTOP song. This whole band was a legendary examplary model of less-is-more. RIP Dusty.....
Just listened to the whole album as it's amazing they still sound just like they did way back when these were recorded! Billy Gibbons is every guitar players guitar hero. I'm telling you those 70s albums are another breed of cool. Billy's tone and ability to have the finest touch or just rip your head off in his licks is second to none. He is one of my biggest influences and one bad motha.. Rest In Peace Dusty Hill.. one of the best voices in rock n roll and certainly top 10 bassists of all time ✌🖤🤘 🌹
You know, these guys never do anything super fancy in a song, they just do the right thing at the right time and sound bigger than any shredders playing 10 times the notes. 🤣

Top Guitarist !!
Billy Gibbons and Frank Beard are the reigning elder statesmen of rock and roll!
Texas legends. RIP Dusty Hill. The Texas Blues tone is something very special.
Thanks of all Dusty. R.I.P
God Bless You, Dusty, you are deeply missed.
Was thinking the same thing
Speaking as a drummer, can I just say that Frank Beard is giving a masterclass here? Less is more, even with a big kit like that. Awesome.
As a drummer, Frank Beard is the King of Texas Shuffle. Badass!
Frank always has a great groove to his drumming
He’s great, very underrated
Just so solid! Not doing flashy crap for the sake of it. Just locking into "the pocket" and laying it down! So great!!!
Subtle is Cool.
Frank is one of the best drummers in the world.
The way he unites and cements ZZ Top music is simply a standard of perfection.
He is one of the 3 drummers I know who play music, not beat rhythm.
He's been - you do not need to hit a thousands beat a second to be the great musician.
YUP
100%
Who's the other two? I know nothing about drums, but what you say seems to make sense to me. So I'm curious. Who else is this cool?
@@miken8820 Number one - Ian Pace. Number three - Frank Beard.
And there are a few of number two - John Bonhem, Mitch Mitchel...

And they are Texans!
Going to see them tonight in Indianapolis
70 today, still listening to them today from my teenage years 😊

How can anyone get enough of that little band from Texas, Damn they just the best!
Dusty's bass tone is just killer. I love the mix on this. The groove is undeniable. 3 masters of their craft.
The baddest three man band in the land. R.I.P. DUSTY HILL
Damn .. Dusty's bass sound in this is so deep that it goes through the floor... right into basement where you keep all dusty secrets.. incredible recording again... I love RAW album big time 😎
Yeah, I love that bass part and how well it works with the guitar.
This sounds better than the original recording by a mile. Love them stripped down. Dusty’s tone is killer.
Dusty had just the right amount of grease in that tone, too!
Every time I see Billy Gibbons play I think of how Jimi Hendrix, when asked who his favorite guitar player was, said ‘this guy from Texas named Billy Gibbons.’
you cant thumbs up this enough!
The band that makes you feel like they formed just for you. Thank you guys! Long live ZZTOP!
Exceptional playing by all three
You know ZZ Top is one bad ass band when your Dad who usually tells you to turn your music down... tells you to turn ZZ Top UP!!
😆❤️👍
As an official Old Fart, I approve this message.
Jajajajjaa genial !!!

One of the best rock ‘n’ blues bands ever! God love you guys and we miss our much beloved Dusty!
Legacy of the blues. Nationwide.

To me this is the song that represents ZZ Top the most. This version is badass
Not too bad, for a Little 'ol Band outta Texas.👍🎸🎸🎶🎼🎵
RIP Dusty. A masterclass in efficiency - when few notes say more than a lot, when tightness brings more complexity, when music has a true soul.
Saw them 42 years ago ,,, one of the best live bands!
Jimi Hendrix said Billy Gibbons was his favorite guitarist.
Billy Gibbons is like fine wine. He just keeps getting better. He is so unique but so distinctly Texan.
También dijo que King Crimson era la mejor Banda de este mundo.
Jimi said that he like Billy not only because he was good but that he had the balls to play his (Jimi's) music at his his concerts. Lol! He's Bad!
Wow, that bass sound has a beautiful growl to it and what a badass bass run to finish the song 👏
THAAAT WAAASS SMOOOOOOOOOVV😇😇😇😇
You’ve always been Worldwide. Love it!
Billy. He did this great. The hesitation in the guitar. Billy is the total guitar God.
Whenever "The Reverend" gives a sermon, the entire congregation "Rocks the roof off the church!".........
Still love zz top till this day
Three musicians at the very top of their game. This is what happens when you've been playing for more than 30 years. The drumming is out of this world - so solid and locked perfectly to the guitar riffs.
So you think the gitar leads, not the base, or perhaps the drums? Interessting. What makes you so sure?
Try playing together for almost 50 years.
They have been playing together since the late 60's.
Bestest 3 piece band to ever roll outuv Texas!! RIP Dusty!! Keep rocking Rev and Frank!🤘🏻🎸🤘🏻🔥🔥🔥
Lest we forget Elwood! ✌️
SRV and Double Trouble would give them a run for their money as another Texas trio

Such great music. So much feeling, and such an incredible groove by rhythm section. That bass by Dusty at the end was just so wonderful
So glad Billy's still doing his thing!

This song is simply "perfect" ❤ (I can't think how Billy feels playing without Dusty, now. )
Dusty Hill's punchy bass tone was something else!!!
Sounds Great!
A "beat up Ford"... in previous renditions I thought it was a "V8 Ford".... wow, masterful musicians all three of them!
its his tune, he may sing it at his whim, if it's different that makes it even cooler, from the MAN himself.

You're right. Billy is the man. His playing and tone are amazing. Nothing is wasted, and nothing is there that isn't supposed to be. I love ZZ Top.
Rumor has it that when Jimi Hendrix was asked who the greatest guitar player in the world was, he said Billy Gibbons.
Just sounds like nobody else ! Utterly fantastic. Sounds so bad but in a great way. Dusty still playing bass in heaven 😎
ol fav..im getting old.. an still listening
They are still the same. Well, maybe better but they only climbed higher over the last 50+ years. Rock n Roll, baby!!!!!!!!!!!! ✌️🖤🤘
