Fortunately Lead Guitarist Billy Gibbons is still alive and kickin' it hard, along with Drummer Frank Beard. However, RIP to Bassist Dusty Hill, a few months ago, he was integral to ZZ Top's sound, and his too infrequent vocals had real impact. Their early albums laid the groundwork for their 50 year run, and La Grange was one of their first big hits. One of many.

[@StevesFunhouse]

And the funny thing was, the drummer's name (as you mentioned) was Frank Beard, yet he was the ONLY 1 who DIDN'T have a beard 👍😊😎🔥.

[@zunbake3]

Saw Billy in November in Fort Lauderdale. He was on that night!

[@ryansanchez319]

Going to see zz top June 7th in so fucking excited

[@richardmccloud7500]

The hat shop ln Ft Worth, Peters Bros Hats, where I worked made hats for Gibbons, Bill Paxton and Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca). Mayhew had a hat size of 8.5...which is BIG....And met Paxton with his 14 yr old son... bought him a $400 Indiana Jones 100% beaver hat

[@degsbabe]

They appeared live on the Howard Stern show and gave a storming live performance of Le Grange. They were brilliant. Worth a look.

[@vicprovost2561]

That little ole band from Texas never disappoints. Saw them on the tour this song debuted on for the Tres Hombres album in 1973 and they freaked us out with what heavy blues, Texas style, really was all about. Saw them at least 10 times and always a great time! One of the all time greats, more please, try Cheap Sunglasses. Enjoy! 🎸

[@deborahcornell171]

@Vic Provost I saw them on that same tour! Pre-beards & the only real stage effect was that set of Longhorns behind them. By '73 I had seen everyone from Hendrix to Zeppelin to Deep Purple (heck, even Elvis) & that show stood out, right up there with bigger artists of the time. Saw them again in the 80's & that was a great show too. But early ZZ Top made a bigger (& more lasting) impression on me. 💙☮💙

[@Ncxgroup]

I was a roadie for the Texas leg of the 1976 World Wide Texas Tour. So much fun. Great guys.

[@vicprovost2561]

@@deborahcornell171 Agree, they could walk with the big dogs and play as good as anyone, in their own unique style. God bless for having ZZ Top as part of the soundtrack of my life.

[@craigharrison5406]

That's awesome. I wasn't born yet when they started out in the early 70's but I did see them in the early 90's during their Recycler tour and they put on a hell of a show. They even had the spinning guitars they had hooked up to their belts.

[@alastairmcintyre4752]

The thing that's sometimes overlooked but really drives this song is Frank Beard's " Texas Shuffle " on the drums

[@Coconautify]

Yeah you're right about that.... 'drive the song' is exactly the right description.... another guy like this of course was John Bonham, where his drumming cadence really drove their sound - like the Immigrant Song for example .. nice one!

[@leehanson1416]

Exactly. Frank's shuffle is the best in the world.

[@NoNameForThisGuy]

Drummer here...I can't understate how goddamn hard it is to learn that shuffle and keep it tight, yet swinging. Frank Beard and Chris Leighton (from SRV's band) are the kings

[@michelm306]

"My head's in Mississippi" is a much underrated tune with a heavy groove that you might like. By ZZ top of course

[@armadillotoe]

It is great for testing the bass response of your stereo too.

[@philsigman9088]

My favorite!

[@CJ-Fischer]

My Heads in Mississippi is true ZZ Top. It gets in the Veins! Love it

[@joeraymorton2414]

Love that song!

[@andrewburch1671]

Under pressure and pearl necklace are my two favorites after La Grange.

[@shelleysparks210]

I’m from Corpus Christi, TX; I first heard ZZ Top do “Francine” in the late 60s. Loved them ever since. They are kick ass in concert & I had the privilege more than once. RIP Dusty Hill. 💔✌🏻

[@ThePeaceableKingdom]

Saw them at the short concert at the coliseum... but I can't blame 'em. Damn! get your act together and don't be droppin' lights onstage. ZZTOP forever!

[@jessegreen6138]

1973. In a buddy of mines rusty dependable old dodge pick-up. He pokes the tres hombres 8 track tape in the machine and out slides this song! Wonderful times!

[@loribernardisunwell9663]

My dads favorite band was Black Sabbath until someone played ZZ Top for him for the first time in the early 70s ❤

[@jeffnorris5842]

I've seen ZZ top seven times in concert and they always put on a good show

[@kurtsaxton823]

No doubt, first time I saw them was1978 last time 2005 and 9 times in between. Never a bad show

[@brucevidito4923]

Last time I saw them it was a double billing with ZZ Top and Lynyrd Skynyrd. What a fantastic concert.

[@jeffnorris5842]

The first time I saw him was in 1977 and the last concert I went to of ZZ top was 2008 and they still sounded damn good

[@TheOneAndOnlyFloridaMan]

You guys would love their song Waitin' For The Bus/Jesus Just Left Chicago. Straight blues ya'll. Keep it up.

[@brucevidito4923]

I'm an old dude (67) and I go back to the 70's with my first two albums, Tres Hombres and Fandango. I've seen them several times over the years and to me they're the best 3 piece rock band ever.

[@joshwilliams3653]

My mom dated the 4th member of this band in college. He left the band before they got big to be a bull rider cause he didnt think they were gonna make it. Oh how i loved to mess with him about it. He passed about a year ago, but he and my mom were close friends all my life. Hell of a guy. Miss ya buck.

[@827dusty]

This 70s Blues/Rock Band from Texas is one of the all time greats. One of the best "Power Tios" ever. Went to see them in concert Live, in 1977 in Seattle, and they brought down the house.

[@williamweiss6128]

Wasn't that the tour with the animals on stage? Seen them later, maybe El Loco. So smooth and cool.

[@stewpot6998]

Bringing down the house is what they do. La Grange did. That little house got too famous. Then the three legged beaver story that destroyed a bar in Mississippi.

[@viacrucis2509]

Never a bad time for Texas Blues Rock. Especially from the masters, ZZ Top!

[@nicholegallo1090]

My dad loved ZZ Top then. Along with Led, stone temple pilots, sound garden, Rolling Stones, etc. I love these reacts

[@metalmark1214]

Always loved the vibes of this song.

[@obxtasy626]

Not long before Jimi Hendrix died, an interviewer asked him who he thought was the best up and coming guitar player he had seen. Hendrix said Billy Gibbons, who went on to form ZZ Top. Can't get a better endorsement than from the GOAT himself :)

[@mikephillips8810]

And then Queen's Brian May, also a Hendrix fan, was asked who his favourite guitarist was other than Hendrix...same answer, Billy Gibbons

[@chellj8175]

Truth!! Jimi Hendrix was the great!!

[@vickiroman189]

I got to hear them shortly after this came out and could not believe that solid wall of sound coming at us from just 3 guys. (RIP, Dusty!)

[@markmatthews4481]

I'm with ya. I saw them right after Tres Hombres was released. Loudest concert I ever went to, and I went to a bunch.

[@r.deanmcknight136]

ZZ Top never disappoints. First time I seen them was their Eliminator tour I was 15 or 16 at the time. This was my dad's favorite band back in the day, and still is. Need to do Tush..... R.I.P. Dusty 🤘😔🤘

[@OneThousandHomoDJs]

Claaaaaaassssic selection! This is a marvelous piece of rock's relationship to R&B.

[@bryansimmons4550]

"Francine" and "Blue Jean Blues" are probably my two favorite ZZTop songs. And thankfully, Billy Gibbons, the guitarist is still alive.

[@gregizzo4191]

Their best song in my opinion. The drums are such a groove. Guitar, voice, the whole thing. But the drums are just beautiful.

[@matthewdooley7855]

Proving that 2 guitars and a drum kit are all you really need to lay down a hot track. Great, straightforward rock music. The perfect Friday evening, just-got-off-work song.

[@nightmoves7989]

These cats paid their dues. They were a hard working band who were loved by their peers and colleagues for years before reaching what most people consider "mainstream" success in the early 80s with the advent of music videos and Mtv! Back in the 60s early 70s not too many people were hearing about ZZ Top, Jimi Hendrix sure did! ZZ played a few shows with Hendrix and he was quoted as saying that the best guitar player he has heard on the scene today would be Billy Gibbons! That's pretty much a mic drop moment there.

[@carollittle1059]

Just watched an old episode of Darryls House and Billy Gibbons was on, and he rocked it.

[@oldmanghost219]

I saw ZZ TOP at the swing auditorium in '74 '75 '76 & '77. That's San Bernardino CA Orange Show grounds. That's 4 years in a row. It wasn't a large venue. On one occasion the smoke was bothering my eyes so I got up and went behind the seats. I quickly discovered it wasn't the smoke that hurt my eyes when i saw a line of officers in riot gear heading to the doors.. It was in the paper the next day that there had been a riot of people wanting to get in and they used tear gas just outside the doors. (Used to be able to smoke indoors)

[@OilPanWillie83]

Always been impressed with the drumming in this song

[@VegasAlien1]

When I was in the Army in Germany and we went to the field, we wired a CD boombox to our commo system for the M901 ITV I drove. We played the ZZ Top Six Pack endlessly and it was the soundtrack to some amazing adventures.

[@Taraonrepeat]

Yes! Everything you said about ZZ Top! Billy Gibbons playing guitar from his soul! A little off topic but, I’m currently watching the tv show Bones and every now and then he has a reoccurring guest appearance as a regular character’s (Angela) dad and for some reason it makes me so happy every time I see him on there. 😊

[@nitrospeed2513]

The Three Wise Men with the Texas Boogie. There music is so timeless. R.I.P. Dusty Hill 🎼🎸

[@ZagiBob]

I saw them in 1973 at Winterland in SF. They were the FIRST band on a 3 band show. ZZ Top, Wild Turkey (former Tull bassist) and West, Bruce and Lang. The main thing I remember is the amount of pot smoke in the auditorium and nobody cared

[@jessegreen6138]

By the way "La Grange" is about a very famous establishment on the edge of town called The Chicken Ranch. In 1982 a movie was made about The Chicken Ranch called "The best Little Whorehouse in Texas". The Chicken Ranch closed in 1973 too. The same year this song came out. RIP Dusty Hill.

[@nickcrisp7252]

The sound he got on the guitar at the end solo is using "pinched harmonics" You pick the string and at a the same time catch it with the side of the thumb, which produces a harmonic of the note that is picked.

[@shawnnixon2811]

One of my favorite bands of all time. They were always awesome in concert.

[@surlechapeau]

Asia & BJ, their "Sharp Dress Man" and "Legs" are next for you!!! La Grange is about a house of ill repute! edit- Good videos from this group. Saw them in concert 6/11/86. The one without the beard is Frank Beard!

[@camelliaroan6341]

I saw them in concert! They kicked ass! You would love it!

[@barbarafrazier3242]

ZZ Top is the only concert where a complete stranger asked me to dance….. and we did dance in the isle. They have a groove!!

[@LetsDoEntertainment]

It might be the Crown talking but that was my favorite reaction to date. I've been a Radio and mobile and club DJ since 1982 and a music freak since birth. Sometimes I am questioning the sincerity of reaction posts, but I think I saw honesty there.

True story. A young father who likes a lot of classic rock observed his 3 year old toddler walking down the hall in his diaper goin "A-how-how-how-how"...and he knew the music was working it's magic.

[@leefreed2060]

One of the very best 70s bangers. ZZ top rocks

[@zunbake3]

The real deal! I've been doing this song with my Bands for 20 years and I always add a Canned Heat Boogie Rap between solos.

[@onetruthmediacompany]

Fun fact. They decided to go with the name ZZ TOP, for no other reason other than so they'd be the last band in the record store rack (shelves were alphabetized)

[@brabham74]

I remember, a long time ago, reading an interview with Jimi Hendrix. It had to be in the late 60's, when the interview happened. I can't remember exactly when I read it. The question was asked of Hendrix - who is the best guitarist in the world? The interviewer expected Hendrix to say, "me". Instead, Jimi Hendrix said he thought a young Texas kid named Billy Gibbons was the best he had ever seen. High praise indeed.

[@markmoncelli6203]

Love you guys. Crack up at the Adam banter. Interesting fact that Jimi Hendrix said on the Dick Cavitt show that the best guitarist he ever heard was Billy Gibbons

[@carolespinoza8469]

When Billy gibbons first started out he played a while with Hendrix.💖🎶🎶🎶🎸🎸🥁. I saw them at least 6. Times in Houston💕💕. Guys you gotta see them live🔥🔥🔥. Zzz top. Live at Eric Clapton's guitar festival,. 🔥🔥🔥

There guitar tech Elwood has stepped up and playing bass now. Band still sounds great. Dusty suggested him to fill in when he got sick and he's still there. Keeping it tight Frank.💯❤🙏

Fun fact about Billy Gibbons singer and lead guitarist for ZZ Top back in the day played in a little band with Jimi Hendrix Yes you heard me right and Billy Gibbons was one of Jimmy's mentors on the guitar true story

This is the first song in history to feature harmonics (from 4:43), the same harmonics that Edward Van Halen perfected using the lever.

Love this song . Kentucky checking in lol

[@davidmeir9348]

La Grange is simply put the perfect rock song. Not too long, not too short. Great melody, fantastic guitar solo and killer rhythm section. That's the kind of song you just have to put on while driving a sports-car on an interstate road. You just have to.

Before he formed Z Z Top, guitarist Billy Gibbons toured w/ a band that opened for the Jimi Hendrix Experience in 1968... Jimi Hendrix, the guitar god himself, cited Billy Gibbons (who was still a teen) as his favorite guitar player 🤘🤘Unfortunately, Hendrix passed away in 1970, just before Z Z Top released their first album in 1971. According to the band, Z Z Top consider themselves a rock band, incorporating southern blues, boogie rock n' roll, old school R&B, soul and even 80's synth pop into their sound.

Billy Gibbons was a good friend of Jimi Hendrix. He gave Billy a pink Fender Stratocaster. Hendrix mentioned Billy on the Johnny Carson show when asked about any up an coming guitarists. The moving sidewalks ,Billy. Dusty, and Frank .

YESSSSS 🔥🔥🔥😎🤘🤘🤘✌️ One of my favorite Texas bands!

[@garyr8739]

That was why it was so fun growing up in the 50s, 60s, and 70s. Rock takes its influence from all kinds of music - what ever the artists liked. Try ZZ Top "blue jeans blues" for a bit of blues sound from them.

[@thepsychophonic]

ZZ Top are pure fire, in all their songs. And Billy Gibbons, although in terms of creativity he cannot be compared with some of the other great guitarists in history (Jimi Hendrix, BB King, Chuck Berry,...) has earned a deserved place among the best, because his touching precision is of an absolute domain. Live, there is no guitarist so technical and who controls the timing of each note so much. A real machine, this guy. You should see him in a concert, he is very spectacular.

[@victorcoburn2791]

I'm a metalhead, but not only can I listen to them all day, when I seen them live they are the LOUDEST band I've ever seen 😈🤘

Dusty Hill, the bass player passed away about six months ago. ..In the late 70's, the band took some time off and the drummer had some drug troubles. Dusty didn't want people to think he was full of himself and didn't want to become full of himself , so he got a job at Dallas/Ft Worth airport ...Kind of guy he was.

They could have given me another 10 minutes of that jam at the end and I would have loved it. The 'boogie' sound is not unique to ZZ Top but they killed it with La Grange for sure.
