I was stopped doing 77 mph in a 55 mph zone while listening to this song. The officer was about my age, and when I explained, he wrote the ticket for 5 mph over the limit.🚨👍😊
I've been listening to ZZ top since I still had hair !!! Not long ago...about 35 years. Today, my son plays La Grange on guitar. The guys do well. A motorcycle trip without ZZ Top is not a zzzzztoooop trip.
Everybody’s human, forget that commenter, that was a killer set. I was just watching his left hand double stroke technique and thinking I want to learn some of his grooves. I’m always working on Billy’s guitar stuff, but thinking I’m missing some fun stuff back on the kit, and frank is one of the original pocket drummers! (Shit you gotta be, in a power trio at that level)
"We are saddened by the news today that our Compadre, Dusty Hill, has passed away in his sleep at home in Houston, TX. We, along with legions of ZZ Top fans around the world, will miss your steadfast presence, your good nature and enduring commitment to providing that monumental bottom to the ‘Top'. We will forever be connected to that "Blues Shuffle in C.” You will be missed greatly, amigo. Frank & Billy

AH MONTREUX quel dommage que je ne pouvais pas y être.......j'adore votre LOOK, Vos Vestes, vous avez toujours des costumes uniques, originaux, votre jeu de scène et complicité sont la preuve de votre homogénéité..........thank you zz top
My first concert experience was in 1976, I was 15 years old. The Marshal Tucker Band opened for Dickie Betts followed by ZZ Top at the Spectrum in Philadelphia. Wish I could remember more of the show, it was quite smoky in there. I rode on the back of a 350 Honda from New Castle DE and back. Still can't believe my parents signed off on this, glad I was the first born he he he.
Unforgetable ,irreplaceable ZZTOP, you are the best, what a pity for Dusty Hill that passed away so early RIP dear Dusty, every time listening ZZTOP music i want to dance, God bless you guys, this is my youth years music ,i'm an armenian woman ,but living long ago in Stockholm ,Sweden. ❤❤❤
It is always a pleasure to listen to these three guys! They are really awesome; want to be in Texas! They are realley national heros, bringing the best blues- and rock-traditions in the most compact way. Who can escape these sounds! I am helpless!
Anni '70-'80, un tsunami di ROCK ha investito due generazioni, ho avuto la fortuna di essere stato trascinato pure io, grazie destino anche per permettermi ancora a 68 anni di godere come se fossi un ventenni ❤
Had the pleasure of seeing that little band from Texas four times...so far. Just recently in Oneonta N.Y. 9-25-18 They are awesome. Frank is a FREAKING MACHINE.
Seen em at least 5 times from 75- 95. Always had amazing opening bands!! Just a bonus and warm up for real thang..ZZ TOP. Never disappointed always impressed!! ✌
About 5 years ago I went with a coworker to Carb Day at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and ZZ Top was the featured band. It was out on a grass lawn in the warm sunshine and we had a blast! I was supposed to see them years before in Minneapolis but got deployed out of country when I was in the military. So I finally got to see them and wow, those guys are over 60 and sounding awesome! My friend and I were blown away and it was a lot of fun. Got to meet some long time fans like ourselves, share some beers and enjoy this great band!
Normally musicians get old, but these guys never will, only me got grey hair. Loved their music in my childhood, and now i am 40 now and still listen to them.
Not only does Frank Beard have stamina beyond any mere mortal to keep that left hand shuffle going with completely perfect feel, but he's literally doing it with his eyes closed
After years being behind the drums, closing your eyes isn't all that hard to do. You know where everything is, in front of you. And you play the songs as you have for years. Even so, the mark of a pro, is to hide a mistake and keep going without anyone else knowing it happened! Closing your eyes isn't so hard... How about a blind drummer!?
I've seen ZZ Top twice and I've been working and playing Drums and Guitar for a few decades and that is the thing about ZZ. They, for a Three Musician Band have attained from the start an incredible high intensity Shuffle-Slide with a killer Bassist that is, to me, a one of a kind Sound and Tone that is easy to listen to... for many decades now. Especially when I caught them Live. In Vancouver I saw ZZ live on the "Afterburner" tour. My ears rang for a couple of days.
Это настоящие легенды!!! Мне 37 , но мне нравится группы этих лет как эти парни! Да да именно парни! Потому как стариками их не назовешь!!! Такие любому молодому в плане музыки дадут форы !!! Музыка для души!!!!
To share: saw the Little Band from Texas in New Orleans in 1973. Couldn't hardly believe the music they pumped out that night. When l came to the next day went straight out and bought the LP, still have it!
The three together smoke nearly everyone. Seen ZZ Seen Queen and seen Rush..... All f'n amazing..... ZZ is amazing an Quenn rocks.... to all just enjoy the talent and the entertainment I askin for much...... Cheers alll

Que sonzeeera, essa banda é muito boa, pra quem é rockero de verdade não tem como deixar essa banda de fora. Concordam? Ouvindo isso é tomando cerveja, tá ruim?
I have had the pleasure of sitting at a concert and being very entertained by these three artists playing their instruments, I do not drink or smoke, But I sure know when someone can play an instrument
Drei Musiker der absoluten Spitzenklasse !!!! Begleiten mich mein Leben lang und werden es auch weiterhin tuhn !!! Ich bin Jahrgang 63!!!!

no speed limit tickets in Texas if you listened to ZZTop while driving

Being as Dusty is dead. He is not getting better with age.
I love them...their music, their look...great guitar players
6:24 is the most rock'n'roll thing i've ever seen in my entire fuckin' life
Normally musicians get old, but these guys never will, only me got grey hair. Loved their music in my childhood, and now i am 40 now and still listen to them.
Hey, parce gracias, esa música en vivo escasea. Ufffffff.
This is what is called a power trio and what power they have is simply awesome.
Three headed bands kick ass ….
@@williamkayaian7268 The power is still there. The Big Bad Band. Enjoy!!!!!
Season song
Especially if you saw them live, they were one of the best concerts. I saw live.
Im listening november 20 2024 from La Paz Baja California Sur México ❤
RIP Dusty Hill. It brings me back to the better days!
Кто это безумие гитар и весь драйв ощущает от каждой струны и голоса... любит и слушает в 2020?!))😘
Have Frank Beard or Charlie Watts ever worked up a sweat? You gotta love the guys who keep it simple and nail the beat to the floor.
Hell yeah
Two of my biggest drumming influences Watts and Beard
Yeah all 3 of these guys man give it all.tev.billie and dusty and Frank beard is just the man.long live Texas boogie boogie 3
There's little 'simple' in FB's shuffling! He's fantastic!

Longest running band with same line up since conception and continuous touring/recording without a break up. 1969 - Present. Excellent!!
They almost lost Frank Beard to drugs and alcohol back in the late 70s, but he got his act together👍
Always a pleasure to revisit these three! The drummer is the unsung hero keeping tempo so the other 2 greats can do there thing! Doing Texas proud!!
Nothing cheers me up more than these three!!! ROCK ON!
a lefthanded neck on a right handed bass body. Why not ! one of my favorite bass players of all time.
I'm not even a blues guy, I could watch these guys ALL DAY.
Saw these at Milton Keynes bowl unbelievable can you believe three men can produce a sound like this ,talented guys you wouldn’t believe it 💀👍
Love ZZTOP
The drummer played this song so many times, he now does it in his sleep.
Blues drumming isn't rocket science...
He was so much better... So sad..
No groove...
... and he would do the same thing on a small drumkit ...,for sure ...
@@callingchristianoWhat a stupid comment…just buy you some new ears and a new brain with that if you have enough money left! Peace 🤬
Drummer is heart of band. Viva ZZ Top!
I love ZZ since my kids introduced me to them in the ‘80’s. Darn kids. Have followed them for years
Je ne m'en lasse pas, un pur bonheur, merci ZZTOP.
these guys rock!!!!!! saw 'em in Santa Rosa, California..wow!!!!
I've seen them live twice. Very powerful stuff. You feel it to your bones.
blues based rock . what all the great bands have in common.
me encanta todo pero en especial el tiempo que lleva el baterista
ZZTOP POWERS My Days and Life Always ..
😮
Most band's from their era kinda lose it over the year's, BUT ZZ Top just gets better with age.
I followed them around like the grateful dead. Seen them 17 times. Perfection
Billy is the coolest guitarplayer on planet Earth.
And solar system
@@juanmendoza2993 Yep.Billy burns all the time.
YES I CONFIRM BILLY IS VERRY COOL GUITARPLAYER
I agree with this comment 100%
I just want to thank all you great ZZ Top fans for NOT posting a stupid "who's listening in 2019" comment.
who's listening in 2019? ;-)
I'm listening in 2022, almost 2023.
Hi, i just wanted to say that I'm listening in 2023. Bye!
Well they played Baylor in 1970 and that’s where we got on board with the Top!!
I've seen them 5 times. They put on a great show.

When l came to the next day went straight out and bought the LP, still have it!
leslie caldwell that’s awesome! I didn’t see them til the 80s, would have loved to see them when they were just starting out, musta blew your mind...
I also saw them in 73, Starkville Mississippi.... five times since then
That style of drumming is such a kind of art! I think, Frank Beard does have the strongest left hand in the Rock'n'Roll business.
One off the best
Just shufflin' all night like it was nothing. I love it.
Frank is a beast on those drums! So smooth!
It definitely requires some serious endurance and finger dexterity to play a shuffle like that nonstop for minutes on end.
Been studying Frank for 40 years. An inspiration!
I met Billy Gibbons in the Europapark a very sympathic man and musicartist he made fotos for me Thanks!!!
La Grange aint nothin more to say about it. You really nail the timing
Just got paid
The perfect rock machine ever!!! RIP Dusty HIll, for ever in my heart!!!
No man, the drummer was meditating on a "Tush" besides remembering what was the rythm progression, damn!
Za mene svira weri god Drums
Rhythm progression isn't a secret, straight ahead shuffle is all
2 Gitars 1 Drumm ..This is Rockn Roll
We expect only the best from ZZ Top. And this is one from them
It don't never get old.
Heroes ...tan grandes 🎸🥁🔥🙏...desde Argentina 🇦🇷👏♥️
