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. TRACK LISTING 1) Got Me Under Pressure 2) Waitin' For The Bus 3) Jesus Just Left Chicago 4) I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide 5) Pin Cushion 6) Cheap Sunglasses 7) Pearl Necklace 8) Heard It On The X 9) Just Got Paid 10) Rough Boy 11) Blue Jean Blues 12) Gimme All Your Lovin' 13) Sharp Dressed Man 14) Legs 15) Tube Snake Boogie 16) La Grange 17) Tush BONUS FEATURE Poker Game - Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill & Frank Beard talk through the history of ZZ Top over a game of poker.

 ZZ Top's first live release lives up to their reputation June 21, 2008

ZZ Top has long been known as an outstanding live act, one of the best in the business. Loud, proud, three guys, three chords, with so much cool it just drips from the stage. Having seen these guyzz live twice, I know they can bring the funk better than most. Problem is, how does this brilliant of a live band not release anything live (except for side one of Fandango and the second half of XXX, and the bonus tracks on the Tres Hombres and Fandango remasters) until now? Well, regardless of the situation, that's been remedied. I picked this up at Wal-Mart for 10 bucks, and it is ABSOLUTELY worth every penny and then some. The band is hitting on all cylinders. Billy is playing like a madman, Dusty's holding the groove, and Frank is killer on the skins. Sure, Billy lip syncs during Legs. Sure, they use synthesizer backing tracks on some songs. It doesn't matter. What does matter is that this band just brings it, every night, every song. The show is filmed very well, very clear and sharp. The sound is amazing and the set list is so full of hits even a classic rock station can't keep up. The Eliminator hits? Check. La Grange/Tush? Check. Bus Jesus? Check. Cheap Sunglasses? Check. Plus, the bonus features are very cool too. There is a poker game where the band discusses their past and tells all sorts of stories. They show all the pre-show goings-on that happen before the band hits the stage. There is a cool photo-shoot. And they also have a tremendous cover of Hendrix's Foxey Lady, which they take and make it heavy ZZ-style. Overall, this is one of the best concert dvds I own, right there with Clapton's Crossroads Festivals, SRV's Live At The El Mocambo, Joe Bonamassa's Live At Rockpalast, and Led Zeppelin's DVD anthology. They have waited a very long time to do this, but when they did, they did it right. Get it, turn it loud, put on your cheap sunglasses, and like ZZ say: bear down on the meat, ease up on the potato salad.
Crystal Clear and Rocking June 29, 2008

This is one of those videos that make you wish you had a bigger TV. It is crystal clear and the closeups are phenomenal. The music, of course, is superb.
The reviewer who gave it one star is off base saying it should have included mp3s. Anyone who buys this DVD probably already has all of ZZ Top's music on mp3.
The reviewer who gave it two stars said it changed camera angles too rapidly. I, too, get dizzy watching shows that do that but I didn't notice it with this DVD.
A good first live video. Go ahead and buy it. You know you want it! June 24, 2008

I wondered why ZZTop never produced a concert DVD before, so I preordered this new release when I heard a radio announcement about the release party at the Hard Rock Cafe here in Houston.
I noticed that the boys are incredibly tight as a team, but the individual players get a tad sloppy or loose here and there throughout the concert. However, I knew this about the band members from seeing them in concert four times. Fortunately, they remembered all the words to the songs they sang and appeared alert and sober!
I had tickets to see ZZTop in Beaumont, Texas and they cancelled the show the night before the event... so I bought this to enjoy the concert I missed.
I initially gave this DVD 4 stars and I've come back to edit this review and say it really is a 5-star performance on DVD. The audio and video quality is excellent. I sure wish I could change the number of stars from four to five, but alas, it won't let me.
Billy's guitar work on "Just Got Paid" is worth the price of the DVD. I watched it twice and now I have to stop writing this review and go back to watch it a third time even louder. My wife is gonna scream, but I don't care.
First Live Concert DVD will be well worth the wait! June 20, 2008

Even though I have not seen the DVD as it hasn't been released yet, I was at the show at Nokia Theater in Grand Prairie, Texas and can tell you first hand that Billy, Dusty and Frank were in top form that evening. I was standing at the stage the entire time (about 10 feet from Billy Gibbons) and it was one of the all-time best concerts that I have ever attended! I've been waiting since November 1st of last year for this DVD to be produced and will finally be rewarded for my patience this coming Tuesday...I might just have to take the day off and risk wearing out my DVD player watching this fantastic show over and over again! ZZ Top Rocks!!!
 OH NO, NOT AGAIN June 24, 2008

I WAS HOPING THIS DVD WOULD BE THE [...] SHOW OF THE YEAR,BUT ALL WE GOT WAS A MIND NUMBING SPEED EDITOR GIVING US 50 ANGLES A MINUTE.I'M SORRY BUT THIS SUCKS.THE CONCERT LOOKS GOOD BUT THE CAMERA ANGLES MOVE SO QUICKLY THAT THERE IS NO RHYTHM TO THE SHOW. UNLESS YOU LIKE DVD'S IN HIGH SPEED, DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY. I GUESS I'M STUCK WITH MY 2003 CAMDEN BOOTLEG. AT LEAST YOU CAN SEE THE SHOW WITHOUT GETTING A HEADACHE !!!!!!
