Review of ZZ Top: Live From Texas (2008) by Monsieur R — 26 Apr 2010

If you like ZZ Top, this one's for you. If not, forget it.

The two guys here, plus drummer, are outstanding and pumped. There beards and hats, dressed as twins, is a hoot. The ultimate Texas Rock band.

Their first ever live dvd. 17 tracks with bonus features: History of ZZ Top, Behind the scenes on the ZZ Top live show. Bonus track too.

You even get to find out where their name came from.

Turn this on up loud. Its just like being there. Filmed by another favorite concert company of mine, Eagle Rock Entertainment.

The best sounding rock duo since perhaps Chad and Jeremy, or even Simon and Garfunkel? Or even the Everly Brothers? Well, that's a stretch. Very different genres heh?

I can't really think of a pre-2000 duo male rock group. Of course we had Heart as the female duo.

The blues rock group since Cream has emerged in this memorable one disc dvd. Although, of course different, the two groups are phenomenal.

The trio, like Cream, are Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill, and Frank Beard.

Includes a bonus feature of a performance of the Jimi Hendrix track "Foxy Lady" and behind the scenes on ZZ Top show day and more.

Well worth your time if you like ZZ Top. If you adore ZZ Top, as I do, a great buy at a reasonable price.

Running time 122 minutes. dts, dts digital surround sound. Dolby Digital Stereo and Surround 5.1.

Folks, this is a real concert. Up close, no exploding fireworks, no laser show. Just down home Texas. There is a fine backdrop of lightshow.

The audience sings the words as the trio band plays on. Its a delight.

ZZ Top, you gotta love it.
