[@cmeyerowitz]

I have never understood how 3 guys can create such a full sound. 5/6 group bands sometimes sound "thin" compared to ZZ. FANTASTIC

[@totigerus]

thats how i feel about rush and king's x as well

[@DaveDexterMusic]

The more polyphonic instruments you add like extra guitars and keys, the more the frequency range can get crowded and instruments have to compete with each other. A power trio can have more clarity as each instrument has their own space.

[@TheDavoFloresChannel]

It´s the power and the groove of a solid thumping rithmic section.

[@guitaristssuck8979]

It depends on the genre...

[@SergioCaputoMusic]

same puzzle for me

[@mooniejohnson]

It's a testament to how tight a band is when your drummer is behind plexiglas, has his eyes closed, but still knows what changes you'll make based on what he hears and feels. Bless the L'il Ol' Band from Texas.

[@RageTVHTX]

thats how its done!

[@katanatac]

Yep, when you have been together as long as they have you just "know" when to make those changes and can go with the flow, its when all are bonded into one so to speak.

[@OrphansCorpse]

Yeah it's like he has ears right...

[@CZSorethroat]

Well...he's using in-ear monitors, and he's been playing "La Grange" since 1979. No voodoo magic behind it. The plexiglass is irrelevant.

That's probably the reason why his guitar has only three strings...

[@christianrogers2361]

The spaces between the notes are as important as the notes.

[@smokesletsgo2374]

I honestly think La Grange is the greatest guitar solo ever. It's so easily memorable and identifiable you can hum along to it and know exactly what notes are coming next even if you haven't heard it in a long time. And it's not a simple solo either

Found this over a year ago. I watch it all the time. Why.... because it's great! 3 of the coolest duds ever. Rest in peace Dusty

[@keefriff99]

ZZ Top was the first band I REALLY got into as a teen. Incredible guitar tone...Billy is just an incredibly innovative player from a tone and technique perspective. Interesting how Frank seems to play drums with his eyes closed. Just feeling the groove.

[@JokersWild70]

Jimi Hendrixs two favorite guitarists when he died were Ritchie Blackmore and Billy Gibbons.

[@sngwrter49]

They've done this for so long they probably play these songs in their sleep. I've seen live twice within the last five years and they are still great onstage. Gotta love these guys.

I used to see Dusty Hill in a small hole in the wall bar on Houston's west side all the time in mid 80's. The place never had more than 5-10 people in it. After work me and another guy would go over there and drink dollar draft beer and shoot pool. Dusty's girlfriend was the bartender but he'd come over and shoot pool with us. Pretty down to earth for a mega superstar.

Wow! In the mid 80s?! They were mega stars at that point with MTV and sold out shows

[@donshamblin55]

These guys sounded great for this performance! Kudos for the band and sound crew!!!

a masterclass in having a soft touch and a huge tone.

Seriously. It really looks like he barely moves his fingers and is just gently picking. But that SOUND. Destroys. And so effortless looking!!!

They have three of the most perfect tones blended together.

Love Billy’s playing style. So minimalist yet so huge.

I remember listening to this song for the first time. I was 15 and I was completely blown away by how badass that tune sounded

[@JLDB1987]

Coming from a fan going back to 1974, who has seen them 11 times including 5x in the 70’s, THAT was one of their best performances ever. Only thing missing was a chance for Dusty to display his world class blues voice. One of the best, most underrated blues voices ever. ZZ Top is in the GOAT class...
