I'm 57 and have been lucky enough to have met Mr Gibbons:::: you NEVER NEVER forget a day like that:: The Exxon station on 61st street in Galveston in the early 80s::: I have played guitar for 35 yrs::: Those 3 are the GREATEST entertainers of ALL TIME!!!!
Hey that is going to where The Balinese used to stand on Seawall Blvd.I took photos of it before Hurricane Ike dropped it in the Gulf of Mexico. I was down there taking photos of where my Great-grandfather's brother came ashore in Jan.1st,1863 and whipped the yankee invaders and took back Galveston Island. I had a few more exposures on my camera,so l rolled down to the Balinese and used up the roll. I hope l still have the negatives, to blow up a shot,and frame it. First time I saw ZZ was in Dallas before this show. Dec.27th,1981,a cold ass day.They played 2 shows that night.The following day Billy Bob's in Foat Wurth.El Loco was a killer show.No opening act.
I saw them live the same year as this show. They were absolutely amazing that show. Saw them again a few years back but no where as good as back in the day. They still rocked but no where near the energy level as in 1982. RIP Dusty! 😢 Welcome aboard Elwood 👍
When I was in Jr high school in the 70`s at Blck Jr. high Houston Texas. There was this PE teacher named Coach Emet. He said he was the manager for ZZ Top.
Wow, uploads like this make me thankful for RUclips to be around. ZZ Men on top of their game. Those days there was this sharpness, electricity on the way they played. Thats great to watch.
That's awesome there's like 10 year olds walking around guys that are trying to make the fire... back then man it was a different life it was more free.
I was at Pinkpop that year, first time I saw ZZ Top, great concert, hot weather, also that day Y&T also great and Kid Creole and The Coconuts and Mink Deville (RIP).
functional You got that right BRO... I'm like you, can't sit still!!! It's crazy but when I get to that level, I usually tell girlfriends, brothers, sons, whoever; if I bother you get up and GROOVE with me or move to the side... ROCK ON
Of course when talking about ZZTOP, lights focus on Billy Reverend Gibbons. But look at the importance of Dusty Hill vocals. He was such a good singer. I don't know how they will manage to sing his parts now that he is gone.
I've been there. They were fantastic! Even my kids like them (their favorite is la Grange). This is something different than Juistin Bieber at the next line up for Pink Pop. The world has changed indeed. Thank you for sharing some great rock music.
I really enjoy at least 85-90% of their songs. Someday I must sit down and count to see just how many there are... Got Me Under Pressure, TV Dinners, Lowdown In the Street et. al. Enjoy
all these years later that good energy still comes across loud 'n clear like watching a storm on the wide desert late night.... damn but they sure is a fine finer finest outfit thats stood the ravaging tests of time... thanks for uploading greetings from tasmania
I went to see them every time they came to North Carolina. I thought they were going to blow the doors off the park center in Charlotte one night. We were cruising, we left the farm!
This is a dang good live video ! Not too perfect....not too crappy. Just right. I can feel some of that Fandango vibe coming off the screen and through my speakers....
Thank you fellas, seen you 7 times... Well actually only 5, passed out at the Cow Palace during one show and the other was having "womens" problems and had to leave the arena before she got my ass arrested, lol... So yeah 5 times, loved them ALL... Miss you already Dusty - Godspeed my friend, is this Heaven Hell or Houston?! Keep on shuffling... Peace, Love and Texas forever and ALWAYS!
UP THERE IN THE HEAVENS IS ONE BEER DRINKING HELL RAISER LOOKING DOWN WITH A BIG BEARDED SMILE AND THAT'S DUSTY HILL Y'ALL GOD BLESS TEXAS RIP DUSTY HILL 😎 Weed Me
i don't think so because iron maiden is stil rocking the planet and bruce is king because he still jumps the stage like a 25 year old, and i don;t see slade do the same.
Fuck Iron Maiden, they're overrated and too annoying for my taste! Not very original either. There was more heavier NWOBHM bands out at that time that kicked more ass than Maiden. But Maiden is heavy metal not hard rock n roll/blues like ZZ Top, so that's a different subject! Zz Top still kicks ass and tour these days too
They sure make it look easy don't they. I just saw them again on Sep. 10 and I promise you, they still deliver!!!!! You folks should check another rocking trio from Texas; LOS LONELY BOYS
Good to see how everybody was slim and trimmed those days,,,,
Yep. Everyone is fat & mentally ill now .
Rest in Heaven Dusty!
Crying and goose bumped, These were best day's. Missing Dusty!
Dusty's vocals were never appreciated.!!!!! Dusty sang several of their songs......love you buddy..bass player to bass player.....much love.!!!..rip.
Never apreciated by who? By you? Speak for yourself....
Dusty was one powerful tenor!!!!!!!😮😮😮😮
Dusty had that traditional 70s rock voice. They were great songs by his voice didn't stand out from the crowd Billy's did

ZZ Top, show us musicians that a trio is still the best. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🙉🙊🙈😎😺🎸😶🌫️
People don’t realize how hard it is to make a trio sound that “ BIG”. These guys nailed it for decades.
Dusty's bass is absolutely gorgeous. I'd love one.
I've always loved this band. One of the greatest in the world.
Took my 11 year old daughter to her first concert last summer. Of course it had to be that little old band from Texas.
Lots of bands play boogie, but ZZ Top OWNS it!
if this video had 1 billion views. the world would be a much better place. such a great video.
They are hilarious to watch. They had so much energy back in the day, we all did I guess LOL
Billy :D
IMO, Frank is one of the most Underrated drummers in rock. Always solid, never over plays, but can if he wants to. :D Heard it on the X
Frank is always solid. Keeps the groove grooving!!!!
The only band that lived for driving the music instead of waiting on a bus. RIP Dusty Hill.
FKN A
God Bless Texas and ZZ Top. If your feet ain't a tappin' you ain't a livin'
Devil's music, no?
Asozialer langbärtiger Blues Rock 🤘 😅
Thank you for this Video!

82 was a good year
Billy's riff's are just incredible
@@jimr5793 Billy as in Billy Gibbons riffs as in the way he plays guitar

They are 40 years older, nobody will have this much energy after 40 years, LOL.

Best Concert on RUclips! Great to see ZZ Top play in broad daylight!
LOVE THESE BOYS,, THEY HAVE BEEN AROUND SINCE THE DAY i WAS BORN.,.
The REAL deal.
Thank you for sharing this video, I can see your eyes without glasses, and see the expression in Dusty's eyes, adorable.
Wow, uploads like this make me thankful for RUclips to be around. ZZ Men on top of their game. Those days there was this sharpness, electricity on the way they played. Thats great to watch.
It's amazing how good they were. They were astounding.
I seriously think ZZ Top could play Pinkpop today, and make every single act that had to follow them be VERY nervous.
They could.
I think the same.
Doubt it. They cancel more shows than they play.
I think that they should be top of the bill if they would return to Pinkpop.
YES !! Real nervous 🤣😎
Man the boys had so much energy still. They lost that crazy young energy not too many years later. Rip Dusty.
That's awesome there's like 10 year olds walking around guys that are trying to make the fire... back then man it was a different life it was more free.
Drove me nuts Frank Beard only had a moustache.
Рок 🎸 навсегда память на века всем ушедшим рокерам рок 🎸 рольщикам рокершам
My second year in the Air Force of a four year stint. These Guys define. COOL ! The three of them really Bring It
I was at Pinkpop that year, first time I saw ZZ Top, great concert, hot weather, also that day Y&T also great and Kid Creole and The Coconuts and Mink Deville (RIP).
if you ain't figured out...ZZ at the Top are the coolest muther trio ever to sling a polyriff...never a shortage of groove...I can't sit still...
functional You got that right BRO... I'm like you, can't sit still!!! It's crazy but when I get to that level, I usually tell girlfriends, brothers, sons, whoever; if I bother you get up and GROOVE with me or move to the side... ROCK ON
amen
Double trouble w.srv, before wynans on organ. Certainly would have gave them a "run for their money"
I also like Budgie and early 70s Trapeze. Honorable mention to Rush and ELP. All great 3 piece bands in addition to ZZ
@@SwampyMusic ~ ZZ TOP and SRV....all Texas boys, so it's all good.
Of course when talking about ZZTOP, lights focus on Billy Reverend Gibbons. But look at the importance of Dusty Hill vocals.
He was such a good singer.
I don't know how they will manage to sing his parts now that he is gone.
I never Heardrock Music that damn gooooood, and I never Will , 65 this year.

How could you NOT be having a good time with these 3?
Seriously.
Love ZZ Top. Always a party...and the Pearly Gate too😘
ZZ Top is #1 next to my mini-schnauzer, Da Bug Man. Bugsy
The sound from that lp is fantastic!
Fuckin A+!!! Damn I'm proud to be from Texas....home of the best fucking rocknrollers on Earth! Awesome set!
Have mercy! I'm just waiting on the bus
To Texas that is you're fine!
Saw them this weekend. They still kick ass.
Saw them in Berlin in June 2019.... they are like a good wine... still full of coolness and spirit
Billy took the name of the festival litterally.
Just saw them last night in Nashville, they still got it!
I've been there. They were fantastic! Even my kids like them (their favorite is la Grange).

never got to see these guys live... I was born too late :( RIP DUSTY!!!
seen them in Dallas! top 5 best concerts I have been at. I have seen a lot of concerts lol
I was at this.. was stationed in Germany at the time... man talk about a throw back...
and a throw back.
I wish ZZ Top continued that "eccentric" style they had for a while.
Rest in peace Dusty Hill .not forgotten
Always loved the way Billy rips through the intro when they do this one live.
3 guys? where's the rest of the band!!!! incredible music
Saw them tonight. Still bringing it!
Awwwwww..... this made me smile!!!! Proud of my Texas boys!!!!
+Burnsengine they are all great...but Gibbs is tearin up on the "geetar"
Burnsengine HELL yeah that's what I'm talking about..............
me to im texan born and raised
Jimi Hendrix called Billy Gibbons one of the best guitar players he'd ever seen.
Ik werd net wakker na een paar uurtjes hash slapen en top speelde zo ontiegelijk hard. dat is alles wat ik me herinner lol
For my money the greatest rock band EVER!!
Some Classy Texan Boogie Straight From The Roots ❤
Billy Gibbons Greatest Guitarman ever! Genius Playing, Never boring!!
Stop! 😂😂Not the greatest guitarist ever!
He's great but Rory takes top spot
DID U FORGET ABOUT SRV AND JEFF BECK,, WTF
This is a dang good live video ! Not too perfect....not too crappy. Just right. I can feel some of that Fandango vibe coming off the screen and through my speakers....
Great seeing them so animated!
Awesome performance and a great zz top era
Che forti gli zz top,Bill e Dusty sono forti,mi spiace che Dusty ha lasciato questo mondo era un bravo bassista🎸r.i.p 🙏🌹
Increíbles los amo ❤ZZTOP
I love to see Billy using the correct guitar.
Rock & Roll Class . They Come To Play !
The greatest power trio ever!
Always jamming tunes with ZZTOP
They still are awsome. La Futura is a great record.
Rev.willie G always says more with less.....peace🎸🎸🎼🎵
outstanding, the best rnr band ever
Thanks for sharing this. Absolutely excellent!!
Party on the Patio is one of my all time favorite ZZ songs. Saw them do it in Austin around 74 - 75(?) without the beards when I was in the service.
Jim Mzik that song came out in ‘81
great live band.

Best rock band ever.
sorry best live rockband.. SLADE without any doubt blew every band off stage!
i don't think so because iron maiden is stil rocking the planet and bruce is king because
he still jumps the stage like a 25 year old, and i don;t see slade do the same.

are y'all having a joke? mentioning Iron Maiden and Slade on a ZZ Top live vid? Learn a thing or two about music, and get back in a couple years.
+macca63 Obviously, you've never seen Queen with Thin Lizzy opening.
Right on..my bearded brotherman👍💯💓
Good real rock guys, wow. Thanks Eddy Doolittle. It was difficult to find a good video of these great guys, and you did it. Thanks man, it was great
Drumulater1 alles okay
For this I am proud to be Dutch.
Dusty sang so good on Dequello and other songs. Love Billy and him switching up
Billllyyyyyy .... you're killing it / me .... unbelievable
That was KILLER
I Was there "Good times"🎸😎👊
They are really swinging that shuffle for LaGrange
Best boogie woogie band ever. The rev, wow such a low slung guitar. The coolest
Tres Hombre's was my first taste back in the day. first mexican food i'd ever seen as a 15yr old kid. both equally satisfying...
great vid. did not even know they played pinkpop!
Now this is a power trio!
The great Band of TEXAS
Leuk dat het er nog op youtube staat blijft een goeie Rock Band from Texas
Awesome footage of the Top! Thanks for uploading..
INCREDIBLY GOOD
This kicks ass.....this is rock and roll...
Thanks for the upload - not seen this before.
This is Pink Pop in The Netherlands. The oldest pop festival in the world, to date.
@@henkdegraaf1609 Nevertheless, I personally had not seen this clip before.

Was at this concert! Was awesome.
We’re was this? Was it in Texas? What was pink pop? How many shows? Pretty big crowd who else was on the bill?
@@chrisclausen4093 Was in the Netherlands. Pink Pop is an annual music festival there.
