Description
ZZ Top, the "little ol' band from Texas", has enjoyed enormous success on a global scale since their breakthrough in the early seventies and then their groundbreaking albums in the mid-eighties. Now for the first time one of ZZ Top's legendary live performances has been filmed for simultaneous release on DVD & Blu-ray. The track listing spans their career from early tracks such as "Waitin' For The Bus", "Just Got Paid" and the classic "La Grange", through their eighties blockbusters including "Gimme All Your Lovin'" and "Legs" (complete with furry guitars!) and up to more recent hits like "Pin Cushion". Filmed in their home state of Texas in front of a wildly enthusiastic audience, this DVD & Blu-ray captures ZZ Top at their very best.

 The holy grail at last August 25, 2008
Fans of that little old heavy-metal disco band from Texas will enjoy this long-awaited concert DVD. No surprises here, just a great show!
Excellent- must see for ZZ Top Fans August 21, 2008
This is just way too fun-- razor sharp, superb quality- the boys looks great after all of these years and although you figure they have played all of these songs thousands of times each in the last 4 decades....they still seem to enjoy the music and each other;
Fun with Billy, Dusty and Frank doing Foxey Lady in the bonus too..Hendrix was a Gibbons suppoerter and fan back in the day...but they give teh song just enough ZZ Top feel to sell in their own style.
Definite good way to spend $$ on a music Blu Ray!
Bla bla bla blues, blabla tradition, blabla ZZ TOP! August 21, 2008
Very good! I think that the set list could be better but its okay. The poker game extra is very cool too.
Went out of my way to rate and review this... August 21, 2008

This DVD absolutely rocks! I don't know what people are saying when they talk about the sound isn't up to par. Z.Z. Top is, at it's best, the best 3 piece blues band ever. As such, sonically, you are going to hear some "holes" in the sound now and then. I've played bass in 3 piece bands, it's very difficult to pull off and fill the entire audio spectrum. Z. Z. Top does it better than anybody. Dusty Hill's bass tone is the best I've ever heard him have on a recording, Frank Beard and Billy Gibbons as well. If you don't buy this, you are really missing out on a classic.
 Just a Little Ol' Band From Texas.... August 18, 2008

I had only seen them live in a large stadium venue during the "Recycler" tour. This is a much more intimate setting, (still pretty big!), without a lot of the special effects and staging.
It is always amazing that three guys can put out such a big sound. ( I only suspect some "sweetening" for "She's Got Legs"- )
You should probably have this one in your collection.
