[@liveoak144]

Are they in La Grange, Texas? If so, I did not know that is where Daryl lives. Wow, cool. Texas definitely has a lot of good music and musicians. Tons of live music here. I sure wish you would review this world class guitar guy from Japan. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJ6liauth7etqLc Here are some lyrics; he is getting better at his English, but he still has some trouble with the letter "r." And, here it is with a big Japanese artist in Japanese. I like them both. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3SyZWaVaJmMjpY Miyavi is an actor, a guitarist/singer, and a style icon (he has affected clothing/fashions/etc.). He started out as a graphic artist. He did not think he was very good at it, and it was really hard. One day he picked up a guitar, and he said, "I am better at this!" "Ey yo, let's go c'mon. We've got no time 2 b down alone. See, the world still goes around the crowds a bounce, dance on the ground. Cuz it don't matter if u r gon b gone or not. Now look at the man in the mirror. Is he a winner? Or just a story teller? U r the only one who knows your errors. Embrace your memory, accept your history. No matter wat, let's dive 3, 2, 1, set, go. Be strong, all 4 your love Tho no escapin fate, im gon make my own frame. Ready 2 face my point of break. U may've lost everything but u gained many things. like the fact u r standin here, y'all got no time let's go."

Love ZZ Top Jamel. There best albums are Eliminator and Afterburner. You could get a beard like his just keep grooming it bro lol. ✌️. . Jon.

[@stevenlaxton3618]

Dunno if you noticed cool pinstriping on that red guitar? Billy Gibbons did that and many others...the man is talented to absolutely no end.

[@BorderGuards]

You need to get original studio version

[@827dusty]

Remember, Billy Gibbons is 75 years old now. He was around in the mid 60s, and toured in Europe with Jimi Hendrix over 50 yrs ago. He's still playing those Texas Blues.

[@juanmendoza2993]

I thought he was 70

Only they emphatically claim that what they play isn't blues.

[@Arizona_Stonah]

And to think that Jimi said Billy was the guitar best player in his opinion.I’m sure I am paraphrasing but there is an interview where Billy is reminded of that quote and he says yeah we had a great time when I played on tour with him etc...

[@barryanderson3910]

@@Arizona_Stonah I believe Hendrix also said that Terry Kath was better than he (Jimi) was.

[@jimwiater2867]

He taught Hendrix how to play slide guitar

[@Tazman1966]

That little band from Texas! They always do us proud. Billy Gibbons doesn’t get enough credit for his abilities. Always a great concert!

[@sarahp9086]

Agreed, one of the best concerts I've ever seen!

[@davidmolina3520]

The Rev. May not get enough credit, but they sell out where ever they go.🤘

[@endocry]

Have to disagree. At least in the guitar community he's well known as a legend.

[@maureenwagg5305]

They are incredible blues interpreters ( as Billy calls them). I love the blues and classic ZZTop.

[@smithbros1000]

I took my 1st vacation w/ my brother in 1976. We were headed to New Orleans and drove thru Texas. ZZ Top was on the radio. WOW! I'll never forget!

[@Tazman1966]

Billy is a class act. I’ve met him twice. He’s one of the coolest people and humble that you’ll ever meet.

[@mgordon1100]

When he fanned down that guitarist, that's exactly what I thought. Class, and props to his peer.

[@kingbrutusxxvi]

Preach. I met the whole band back in 1988 (I think it was) while traveling with my dad. We were at the Memphis airport and my dad wanted to go outside and smoke. While we were outside Frank and Dusty came out (both were smokers) then Billy (who didn't smoke) came out and joined us. Of course I recognized the guys but was shocked at how small they were. Billy wasn't as short but they were all so thin. To be fair, I'm 6'5" and was well over 250lbs. so they might have just seemed tiny. ;-) They were incredibly nice and friendly and, somehow, no one else came out and talked to them. This was during the heyday of "Afterburner" and "Eliminator" and all those HUGE videos on MTV (who used to play videos - true story). Totally respect those guys. Stay safe everyone. Cheers from Florida.

[@Tazman1966]

@@kingbrutusxxvi I sat with Billy and had a few bears at a strip club in Houston. Extremely down to earth guy. I didn't make a big deal about who he was but did express my appreciation for his talent and contribution to music. He tipped with $2 bills. This was also in the 80's. Later people started coming in and they were making a big deal about him and he quietly said "that's my cue brother". He got into his pristine, perfectly restored old Ford pickup and went home. Saw him another time at a casino in Louisiana. I spoke to him, introduced my wife, brother and sister in law to him. A few hours later he stopped back by the craps table and addressed us all by name and asked how the table was treating us. I'm 6'4 @250 and yes, he's much smaller than I expected. His personality and character is that of a giant though.

[@EiriUesugiKun]

I can easily believe that. I stumbeled upon this video in KZbins few years back, Billy Gibbons playing guitar on the streets of Helsinki: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3m4goGunMyHlc0 (not my video, unfortunately, I wen't past that point in wrong time that day..)

[@HarryMudd]

He was awesome in "Bones" when he portrayed Angela Montenegros dad 😊

[@Kafka451]

THIS version of this song is one of the best... Daryl has the best damn studio musicians on his show.

[@malcolmr3]

The drummer is Frank Beard, the only one to never have the beard. He said that he didn’t feel the need to grow the big beard since he WAS a beard. 😂😂😂

There's a wonderful documentary on ZZ Top, "That Little Ol' Band From Texas"… damn, but I think I read it somewhere, that early on Frank had a beard and Billy and Dusty were clean-shaven, then they went on vacation and returned as we know them now, and their manager told them to keep it that way.

[@missbelled6700]

@ Must have been a hell of a vacation if they went from clean-shaven to "how we know them now" @_@ shoulda learned how to play that gee-tar...

[@TR4Ajim]

malcolmr3 - he meant shout out to Daryl’s drummer. That’s Brian Dunne.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DARYL!!

[@bmalone52]

If you enjoy music. Daryl's House is premium entertainment for the music connoisseur. You all know what I mean. Thanks, Jamal

[@marievaleur7877]

Not a bad session in the bunch!

[@bbvenusian1960]

i agree!!daryl's house ROCKS!!

[@diannegaylord567]

I still cannot believe how great all these guys sound. Still jamming at there age..incredible.!❤

[@juniorjohnson9509]

One thing about growing up a rocker - you will ALWAYS be a rocker, even if you can't boogies like a youngster!

[@dynjarren8355]

Billy Gibbons is a Blues Rock Legend at this point! Even Hendrix admired his playing. And that Voice! Unreal! 🎸😎👏🏻

[@jeremiahandmaggiegutierrez3261]

I don’t know if you realized it but the guy who played the third guitar solo with the black guitar is the normal keyboardist. Those guys are super talented. Looks like they had a special guest on organ/piano.

[@barryanderson3910]

Didn't see enough of his face to realize that was him (Eliot Lewis), but I did know he also played guitar. Wikipedia confirms his appearance (with guitar) and adds that he does a number of solos in the other songs from the Gibbons episode. According to IMDB, the guy on the B3 is Mike Flanigin, who has worked with Gibbons before, including on his first solo album. IMDB also credits a Martin Guigui for the piano work. He's listed as a filmmaker, composer, engineer, who also apparently plays piano and B3, and has performed with and recorded with a list of music icons too numerous to list here (including Gibbons). Thanks for pointing out Eliot's guitar appearance here. If not for that comment, I'd never have been motivated to look up the rest. Reading these comments is a continual source of new musical enlightenment.

[@jeremiahandmaggiegutierrez3261]

Barry Anderson that’s cool man. Wow that’s a lot of info you looked up but so informative. I love this band they are all so talented. That’s for the info!!!

[@trismaccarran9950]

I will Never tire of this level of talent bringing it all on home to Daryls' House. I get Jamels' decision re the unboxing videos, btw; I've seen some comments from people who enjoyed them, which I did myself. Thing is, this is a working man who has a wife he needs to spend time with, family whom I'm sure he does as well, and a life outside of KZbin. I'm still sending him some Gary Moore and quite frankly don't feel the need to see him open the pkg. People love Jamels' channel because he gives so much of himself into music he's come to love as much as we already do. That's more than enough for me; just keepin' it real. Peace.

[@chrisfield8593]

Much props and appreciation for Daryl"s "House"Band

[@cheryljohnson733]

I love the Daryl's House reactions. I never knew how talented he was until now.

[@krisfox3537]

Sadly I just heard dusty hill passed away today. The bass player for zz top. My heart goes out to Billy and Frank and dustys family. I have loved these guys since the album tres hombres in early 70's. These guys are among the greatest artists and blues rockers to ever be inducted into the hall of fame. I have la grange as my ring tone. I can't say enough about these guys. One of my favorite bands. Rest in peace dusty. Very sad day for me. My friends and i boogied to you guys for years. Love you all!

[@kennethsword551]

Oh, that Texas Blues Shuffle! Whiskey drinkin' music right there! .007 ga. E string is super light. Most players I know are either .008 or .009 ga. Few are using .010 or heavier. And that drummin' brother kept that train right on the tracks! Left hand was working a true Texas shuffle!

[@lonniekiser3612]

DARYL'S HOUSE IS WHERE I WOULD LOVE TO LIVE, OH YEAH.

[@et2petty]

Billy's father, was the premiere band leader of Houston from the post war to 1960's. Often playing at the River Oaks country club, and the "Shamrock Hotel" , (the hotel that inspired the climax of "Giant")..I worked at a record store after high school, and was introduced to Billy Gibbons by the owner of the store. Billy and I weren't pals, but bwe had a couple of moments together, once or twice a year. I was pretty hip on music, for an 18-19 year old, and Billy complimented me on it. It was so cool when "Eliminater" came out and for two or three years ,ZZTop was the world class rockin band of PLANET EARTH!! Dusty had a birthday get together, and it went all night, with myself, Randy T. and Dusty the final persons on our feet. Not pals, but very polite, down to earth, and yet, artists, with the gifts of appreciation, that artists have. memories...

[@et2petty]

@connie baldwin yeah brother of Southwest record tape on Westheimer near chimney Rock 5757 Westheimer and then the other store 14011 memorial drive yeah Dusty on the little nightclub at gessner and Clay road and his house was about a football field away from there and that's where that all night party thing was you know aside from Frank in the early days ZZ top was not a druggie band nice saying they never tried nothing I wouldn't begin to know I was not in that scene I was on the periphery. I'll tell you what Dusty had a stepdad and a biological dad both of them were there and I cook breakfast before we left when the sun was coming up and Dusty had his eggs over easy and right when I sat down and take my first bite and over easy egg hit me in the forehead and Dusty's laughing cuz he threw it at me and then I took a couple bites and look again and Dusty's asleep in his chair with his other egg on his beard

[@colincampbell5967]

i heard that when Led Zeppelin first toured the states, they were the undercard to ZZ Top in Texas ? I saw the Top in germany back in the 80's in a basketball arena, left the concert with legs of jelly, absolutely great gig.

[@RobertoPavan]

Don't know about that, but ZZ Top opened for the Stones in Hawaii in 1973

[@rebeccastewart7273]

This is why you must keep music alive ☮️

[@marylarrimore3950]

Billy Gibbons is one of Rolling Stone's top 100 guitarists of all time.

[@SecretGerms]

Mary Larrimore Gibbons, not “Gibons”.

[@shaneofthehillpeople]

Honestly, I thought they ranked him rather low, at 32. There are a lot of guitarists that I would have put him above, but they probably had more "impact" as a guitarist. As far as technical ability, Billy should have been in the teens, at least. In my mind, he's on equal footing in the blues with Clapton and King.

[@marylarrimore3950]

@@shaneofthehillpeople Prince lost it because he was not on the list at all, hence his performance with Tom Petty and others doing George Harrison's My Guitar Gently Weeps. So tonight I looked up who does the voting and I found it was mostly real rock gods and music legends voting. It's an impossible list really. Like Glenn Cambell and Roy Clark, masters of their instruments. Eddie Van Halen making his infamous Guitar from junk. Tough choices.

[@marylarrimore3950]

@M Fisher i could have used Guitar World or Wikipedia as a reference list of the top 100 guitarists of all time. What has bothered you? I only wanted the reactor to know about the man's skills. Not many realize how talented Gibbons is. Peace

[@marylarrimore3950]

@M Fisher so factual information that imay be nknown to most including the the reactor is not important? The reactor asked for information. Obviously he found it interesting. Chill out dude.

[@scottlevine6279]

This song gets under my skin EVERY SINGLE TIME. Love it!

[@smithbros1000]

I saw ZZ Top perform this song in Omaha in 1977. It was a party beginning to end! Still one of the most memorable concerts of my life! Daryl Hall is my hero for bringing all of the greats to his house. Like you Jamal, he is keeping great music alive. Happy birthday Daryl and thank you Jamal!!!!

Such a simple repeat riff brought so many to the table. You've no idea. Super fabulous.

[@gauntletwielder6306]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 I have always had a sentimental attachment to this tune for several reasons. Back in the day, my good friend Tony T., a phenomenal guitarist and vocalist in South Florida, did a cover version of this tune and he used a cordless interface for his guitar so when he played this tune he would go and run around out in the audience. The crowd loved it. It was a great time. It’s amazing to see someone do a quality version of this live. Thanks for reacting to this tune.

[@Tazman1966]

This is like a Vegas version. It’s good but I still prefer the down and dirty of the 3 man band. Btw, damn Marvin Zindler for getting the Chicken Ranch shut down in La Grange

[@johncox6321]

This is the kind of juicy, jam session blues you can hear in some sketchy, panhandle honky-tonks in Texas...The kind of place where they put up chicken wire between the band and the "patrons." (It catches the flying beer bottles so the jam won't stop) LMAO!

[@garybrumley3519]

That was so good! If the drummer isn’t from ZZ TOP, shout out to him for nailing this. Speaking of light gauge guitar strings, I saw a video a couple of weeks ago where a guy had put extremely light gauge strings on a guitar. He could bend them about three octaves. Un-freaking-believable!

Darious Rucker (aka Hootie) said that playing at Daryls House is the most relaxed and fun gig ever. He said it's like hanging out with the crowed in Collage and Jammin'. The Daryl top chef team prepares an encredible layout of fine food for all his guests, and everybody, singers, musicians, sound, camera crew etc all sit at the same table.
