ZZ Top - Brown Sugar (Live From Gruene Hall)

[@angeldominguez3380]

R.I.P. Dusty Hill. Fantastic performance here. You will be sorely missed.

[@johnland1528]

I agree he will be missed rip bro

[@markmorgan8638]

My favort band

[@tomvincent7167]

Just released, RAW

[@sabrandurango44sabranduran16]

Didnt know man!sorry rip

[@YourFellowRNRSisterFan98]

Yes he will be . He was and still is a great performer he and Lemmy are up there with Dio and Bon and Malcolm and George Young. and many others to come and who have passed alongside Tina and many more.

[@Kburns73]

Frank ain’t even looking at the drums lol. This power trio will be missed. I remember buying Eliminator in the 80’s and wanting to show my dad how cool I was and show him this new band I found. He broke out his 70’s vinyls of them. Showed me I hadn’t found anything new. I could never one up the old man. Even tried it with Maiden. Same thing. 😂

[@catdaddy3302]

Yeah, I’m 68. And I saw them in 1970. That’s when I first heard this song, kid.

[@TheLostBijou]

Try Dead South.

[@caseyjones298]

outstanding story , my sons are in their 30's i talk to them the same .

[@mateabeti1188]

Try steve miller band

[@RamonSerafin]

[@jimtrull683]

Love how this goes from a blues song to a special kind of ZZ Top rock. Dusty had a unique way of adding the bottom. He will really be missed. He had a special talent.

[@CarlVandenberg]

Loved how ZZ Top could always blend blues and rock into their own special sound.

[@matthewstreb6886]

Great tune

[@twistedtrees-q1k]

That's why they're the best blues band in history.

[@boulderbug]

...The Legend that is Dusty Hill will be missed by this Old Head and Legions of ZZ Top Fans around the World ...Rock In Peace Brother

[@rmzzz76]

The tone here is INCREDIBLE. Forget the recording studio, give us a live from Gruene Hall Texas blues album!

[@NotoriousFunk]

i couldn't agree more! This music is way better live!

[@reggaefan2700]

I think his voice is better than anything else.

[@leftyshep]

Soon as I heard the opening licks I went to comments section to wrote exactly what rmzzz76 just wrote!!! Such an amazing tone from Biilys fingers!!!!

[@joeloschiavo1237]

How in the world is this tone created

[@davelanciani-dimaensionx]

Billy's fingers. And a decent tube amp. AND he plays VERY light strings - .007's.

[@jimfulcher4735]

Rest In Peace Dusty Hill. The Trio is no more. Thanks for the music gentlemen. It was the best.

[@bozopennywize]

Billy's guitar tone is the fountain of life

[@RokDAWG1]

Those Magnatone amps are awesome! The compliment his sound so much!

Let’s enjoy it while we can

Don’t forget he uses 8s

The greatest Blues band and Rock and Roll band in one....UNREAL stuff. Never will be seen again by 3 men.

[@qg3726]

50 years on & STILL the SAME Trio kicking it....NO egos here No bullshit just the Vintage sound of that "Lil Ole Band From Texas"..... Tres Hombres MAS FINO!!@@

[@jasonk75]

This is just so damn good. What a sound coming from just three guys.

[@navaskin]

Loving the vibes!

[@terrybull1043]

Not just guys there fucking legends likes you will never see in history ever again ❤️

Their early stuff is absolutely thee best. Long live Billy, Dusty, and Frank

Ah men to that Brother

[@ronniegetts4665]

Damn straight

[@davidlambert3892]

I agree! Way back in the mid 70s when I was playing bass in the Gray James band we played La Grange, Balinese and Nasty Dogs and Funky Kings.

[@GnonplussedGnome]

I got Drunk with Dusty when he was in American Blues!

[@elli003]

Their early stuff may have been the best, but their sound and style now are perfect. I'm ready for Fandango all over again, how about you !

[@rubboardcindy]

RIP Dusty.....The band has been together for 50 years with the same 3 guys.....I am so proud they are from Texas.....

[@catahoula65]

I started listening to ZZ Top when they released Tres Hombres and now Dusty is gone. Damn where did the time go. We all have that date, but how does it get here so fast. Rip Dusty Hill.....

[@jamestburgess6372]

One thing I can say. ZZ will be playing at my funeral

[@YourFellowRNRSisterFan98]

I’ll have AC/DC Black Sabbath Dio all the way thru to ZZ Top from my wedding to my funeral (if I have a wedding) and since I don’t and never want too have kids? My nephew he will know who his auntie admires.

Waitin' for the bus/Jesus done left Chicago....? Hell Yeah.

I love how Frank closes his eyes whenever he plays without glasses. I am so proud and honored to call Frank one of my heroes. Thank you Frank for teaching me how to play drums right. You made my childhood freaking amazing

[@hardmarine373]

Rest high, Dusty. You will be missed.

[@gamby16a]

Murderous tones!!! And Dusty is just crushing it here. Everything sounds phenomenal.

[@carlosmatos9848]

Billy G has always had great tone, but those Magnatone amps are something else.

[@MrBtw999]

HOLY HELL, BILLYS NOTES ARE LIKE SILK UNDERWEAR WRAPPED IN BARBED WIRE.....UNREAL TONE HE GETS ON EVERY VIBRATING NOTE OF BLISS.....

[@snapfinger1]

What a sermon. What a spiritual awakening. Another fiery admonition from The Reverend.

[@dustyflair]

[@ewoe21]

Billy plays like notes are expensive, he doesn’t waste any of them.

[@MusicHeartofMine2012]

The Reverend knows less is more.

[@stevejohnson2284]

ewoe21 your comment is right on man. When I watched him play I was pretty close and the simplicity or economy I should say was mind blowing. Got home and tried it. I realized I got a long way to go lol 😁

[@carlosmatos9848]

Just like Hemingway, he kept it simple. No use trying use a bunch of extravagant words when you can get the job done with a simple, concise sentence.

[@jamesagwe2981]

What

[@BrianCarnevaleB26]

And they are recording a new Album to come out in 21.

[@jebaker6942]

Iam 64 and been listening to these 3 guys from the beginning . Never gets old. Billy's tone and style cant be duplicated and Dusty is the coolest bassist on the planet and frank ? Frank dosent get his due. Their geneous is their simplicity and the blues in their blood.

[@mrguitarwho5500]

Oh yeah, I'm 67 and totally digging it !

[@massapower]

3 Dudes in a Rock band for over 45 years... 😎👍🏻👍🏻 That's how you keep chemistry going and not changing members like trading cards !

[@Peter-zw8yn]

Best band of all time imo, 34 years old and been brought up with Zztop, had the pleasure of seeing them live a decade or more ago in Newcastle.

[@xray5niner1]

ZZ Top is certainly one of the best bands ever. You don’t listen to ZZ Top, you feel them.....

[@olivegrove5343]

Wow. That's just three musicians playing live. Sounds like there's a lot more. Incredible.

[@sinnertrain7405]

I was a fan long before the long beards. This is very cool because its totally LIVE and its killer.

[@Syklonus]

"I was a fan long before the long beards" That's the most hipster thing I've ever heard.

[@johnelton7516]

Dusty, Don't Rest in Peace. Get to heaven and join that fabulous band up there waiting for you. Get after it and tear it up. We want to hear you from down here. We loved and love you. I will sorely miss you. Peace, love and ZZ Top.

[@johnbouwman8275]

that great band in the sky has one more great bass player in the house. Here on earth, we'll miss him

[@i.oshunsar7930]

Billy is maybe the most perfect player I've ever listened to. And yes, all 3 together are like from heaven.

[@leejackson2969]

3 of the coolest blokes to ever walk this planet. Listened to these guys for years and this still my fave song.

[@myloryder]

They are so chill. Wish I could have seen them. They are the Top. Tres Hombres forever

[@rogerkee921]

Always been a ZZ TOP FAN, NEVER HAVE SEEN THEM LIVE BUT IT'S ON MY BUCKET LIST. ✌️TO ALL.

[@if6turnedouttobe9]

U should get their live DVD from Texas...U missed one of the best concerts ever if u never saw them live...Cheers...

[@dirtlawyer3182]

Yeah make it a point to see them soon. You will be glad you did. They are 70 years young but how many more do they have in them?

[@_fabio1978]

Exactly the same here.

I've seen them live last summer. It was great :)

[@joelsimms4636]

They were better back in the 70s. Billie has lost some of his fire. Age is a bitch!!

[@SombraPiloto]

Watch the documentary twice this past week and was blown away. Dusty is killing it here, monster tone!

[@paulhasenauer4166]

That tone of voice, guitar, seems to me to carry a piece of all the real deal bluesman over time like Lightning Hopkins, it is a nectar for the soul!!

[@simonowen9801]

Tried to imagine I was discovering a new band watching this when in reality I’ve followed “The Top” for almost 40 years. I think I’d be as blown away as I was when I heard Deguello for the 1st time if that makes sense.

[@nathanstevens259]

Dusty's right hand created such a thunderous tone, a true force to be reckoned with... A world without him just seems so empty, I already miss him... RIP Dusty Hill 💔

[@horserous]

Saw them 42 years ago and again in 2019 at the Frankenhalle. Sadly they never played this number, unless I missed it while queuing up for a beer. Great band.

[@MSicko]

I've listened to this over and over and have come to the conclusion that ZZ Top needs to put out new versions of their first five albums (as a box set )

[@rogerkee921]

It would be nice to have a box set of all of their live concerts, some people that love their music just can't make it to their concerts because of physical disabilities and chronic pain. ✌

[@Phangmaster]

@HaveMercyMissPercy are you referring to the CDs released late 80s?

[@jebaker6942]

Yea i agree that would be bad ass if they would.

[@Phangmaster]

@HaveMercyMissPercy Hey Sweet Cheeks, it's good you've been paying so much attention! Great band.

[@davidhill7448]

What a f...@@ing goood idea !

[@Malesalsero]

I love how this song starts out all blusey and laid back and then at 1:37 it turns into ZZ TOP! Amazing!!!

Brilliant reprise of a classic from their first album. This is the original ZZ blues attack at its best. For those unfamiliar with early Top, their first 2 albums are essential.

This is one of my favorite ZZ Top songs. It is little known beyond their fans; I've never heard it on the radio. This is one of those songs I would play if I could be D.J. for a day.

[@mikecarbone828]

I have seen these guys in concert and they are one of the best bands I have ever seen on stage, they put on a very professional show and are extremely tight. I noticed that they are playing through Magnatone amplifiers, I didn’t realize that Magnatone is still making amplifiers. My first amplifier was a 50 watt 1952 Magnatone with a matching slide guitar. The amplifier was stolen from me many years ago, but I still have the guitar, they both were my uncle Joel’s when he was younger. I found them at my Grandparents house when I was very young and I played with them there. When I was about 7 or 8 years old my Grandmother let me take them home. The amp was awesome, I used it for years until it was stolen from me several years out of High School. The slide guitar is pretty awesome now since I replaced the tuning machine

[@mikecarbone828]

And had it reworked. Thank you very much for posting this video! Please have an excellent and awesome day!

[@shannonrichardson3405]

Damn! What a horrible day! R.I.P. Dusty!

[@rdmkeytohwy]

That intro is absolutely killer.....and what put this band on the map. Three guys, guitar, bass, and drums, and one big sound. Billy plays those licks slow and juicy, or fast and hot. There is no one who sounds quite like that. Their blend of blues rock is tops, no pun intended. Rock on brothers! Tejas rock n' roll!
