ZZ Top Just Got Back From Baby's Live

[@jeffroCO]

I could listen to this all day. That’s greasy cheeseburger tone. Love it.

[@jim-michellekelly6495]

Billy Gibbons for ever! But how about Dusty and Frank laying down that solid rhythm? Dusty sounds like he's playing bass, rythym guitar and a Hammond organ all at the same time. The fullest sounding trio I've ever heard. Long live ZZ Top!

Just tripped across this one. I can remember slow dancing with a young lady to this, at the CYO dances in ca 1971 in Texas City, TX. For the outrageous price of $2.50!

[@jordandickerson4069]

I saw the Boys 7 times in Colorado and once at Cheyenne Frontier Days, first time on 8/28/1975. They had Rattlesnakes, Vultures and a Real Buffalo. I wish I could see them 8 more Times. I sure Miss Dusty.

Peter Green`s brilliance influenced many guitar players.....it was an honor to even `try` to sound like Peter !!! Billy does a yoemans job here !!!

[@bobbykopas5358]

Super cool to hear the crowd and how into it they are.

[@kneapoe51]

Great live version. Slowed down a bit & just sounds great! Great pics in vid too. Excellent.....especially 4 us "old school" fans who love their music AND look from that 71-81 era 4 me. Thanks 4 posting this 1.

[@SuperBerya]

[@MrDavie777]

thanks for music. the photo,s are really special to me. Great masters of fun and music. Saw ZZ Top in ther prime 1975 Calgary Alberta. A rockin show for sure. Never forgot it, Certainly one for best show's I've ever seen.

[@PatrickCronk]

me too , but in Wpg. was Heart the opening band for tham ?

[@garyguitar]

ZZ Top first few albums were recorded in Tyler Texas at Robin Hood Brians studio, which basically was (and still is) a hadite block addition on the rear of his mother's house. Robin's genius helped get the band on track as far as their signature sound, he was the engineer. He probably doesn't get enough credit for that. Google Robin Hood Brians studio Tyler, Texas. Our band did 4 albums there and several national hits and many commercials have come from there.

[@scottmatheson2390]

cool story those first albums are some of my all time favorite recordings. So raw and rock bluesy.

[@DucksDeLucks]

Billy absolutely NAILS Greene's tone. If i didn't know better ...

[@itruck1]

A bass guitar players prayer. God please don't let them figure out they really don't need me. Gibbons has been very generous to those other two for a long long time.

[@macgrory]

Absolutely wonderful, pure gold dust. thanks so much for sharing this with us all joe, the best doing the best. Nothing comes close to Gibbons when he's on fire like this. Absolute magic.

[@matthewmontegut9159]

Actually one of my favorite ZZ Top songs. Saw Billy in '69 The Moving Sidewalks, playing psychedelic surf music.. and from that sound, to this one here, Billy Gibbons had this uncanny way of transforming. And now, Billy Gibbons and The BFG' cubano sound. Yes thank you for the genius of the first recording studio, and thank you for Paula Abdul for her choreography genius. But I do have to say that the last 4 times I saw these guys, I was more than disappointed.. I was literally angry! None of their good songs, a new album out and didn't play 1 song from it! Terrible terrible terrible terrible. AA Bottom.

[@johnpaflas3482]

Great shit… Greeny would be smiling

[@zzmeduza]

Thank you for sharing! Wonderful!

[@wfdix1]

I would like to have this recording digitally retweezed. Back when Billy’s fingers were extremely nimble.

[@NWXpress]

Pulled this from Billy Gibbons website referring to the first album "They were recording the First Album when Walter rang Billy up, playing Peter Green’s original Fleetwood Mac over the phone. It was so totally right that they raced into the studio holding on to that bit of inspiration. That marked the major shift that solidified ZZ Top’s personal preference: Bluesrock in the abstract."

[@ScreaminNighthog]

Billy's Red House, still made it his own!

[@susandavidson3344]

good call

[@davidware8845]

Roy Bishop, hell yeah it is. And hell yes he did.

[@BlindMellowJelly]

lol....ok, Now where did Jimi get that song from? Bet you cant figure that one out.

[@claptongroupie]

love this song..hadn't heard this early version. thanks

[@TEXMEXY]

Absolutely Love this👌👍🙏🎼🎸

[@mkalic]

It's a real shame they don't play it live anymore :/

[@998cooper]

Them the Blues right there

[@garygaither4382]

Is this Reality? Been rollin' all Night Long!

[@davidware8845]

this is fuck'n awesome.

[@benjammin420420]

@joetamm just checking, I'm familiar with Peter Green and OOP LPs, it just sounds different to my ears. Great tracks, I wish there was more available from this era

[@progmeup]

Billy's lead playing here really sounds straight out of "Merry Go Round" or "Need Your Love So Bad". Very Greeny-like.

[@barbarasalisbury4023]

ZZTOP( AGAIN!)just Got Back From My Baby's by Peter Greene and Fleetwood Mac ( hard Blues period)is a masterpiece and an allowed view to practice floor interpretations by TOP.One of The Best Bill Gibbons solos I ever heard,but he's a true Golden Left Hand of Bluesplaying and WomanTone.SEE ACOUSTIC TRIBUTES @ Barbara Salisbury 180vids @ KZbin.Chris Young.Thank You Joe Tammaro,especially since Top hate cameras,recorders and paper and pencil?

[@KTEELKTEEL]

Oh my...!!!

[@SuperCrackerjacks]

This is as good as it gets. Remember the story behind bluejean blues? Billy told it was made by Elmore James for Fleetwood Mac but they didn´t do it. Billy did.

[@davidware8845]

SuperCrackerjacks, i heard blue jean blues was about frank beard's exgirlfriend showing up at one of their early shows, wearing his old jeans.

[@woutervuijk6796]

Elmore James died may 24, 1963. Fleetwood Mac was founded in 1967. How do you account for that????

[@deanodebo]

Wow

[@joetamm]

@benjammin420420 What picture of BG with a LP Cust are you referring to? If its the pic you're referring to is the one of him with the black LP Cust that accompanies this audio track that pic is from a few years before this concert was recorded. He was playing Pearly Gates on this song. He used the OOP setting on Squank of their first album. He was very influenced by Peter Greene and was well aware fo what the Brits were into, it was Jeff Beck who got them their first Marshalls.

[@impala327]

listen to how monstrous Dustys tone is!

[@joetamm]

@MRMITCHELLZ Uh................., no, it's not a Peter Greene song, read the text, Gibbons is paying homage to him through his tone (out of phase/flipped magnet) and licks.

[@kb-ms5rs]

He Play's The Blue's Just "RIGHT"

[@kimgarrison5465]

I think this is just about my very favorite ZZ Top tune. "Mush Mouth Shoutin'" runs a tight second on it though ❤️❤️❤️

[@joetamm]

@straightfingerwater I would disagree with you. To understand the "Peter Green homage" just listen to both of them and do some research. He is obviosuly and intentionally paying homage to PG. I also have a good friend who was Nugent's guitar tech for 17 years and did all the shows with him and ZZ Top on their 2003 tour. I was back stage at several shows and we discussed this. Gibbons readilly admitted who his influences are and how he regularly pays his homage dues to many of his heroes.

[@benjammin420420]

Is there a source that says this is Pearly Gates with out-of-phase pickups? BFG is pictured playing a 3 pickup Custom (which have the OOP middle pickup) It doesn't sound to me like typical 2 pickup out-of-phase...

[@joetamm]

@doyougettheblues1 Ft. Worth '70 or '71

[@MRMITCHELLZ]

@joetamm got it..thanks

[@bozsomething2697]

Very good, but there's only one Greeny

[@nikk-r5308]

And only one Billy 🤷‍♂️

[@joetamm]

@doyougettheblues1 Ft. Worth '70

[@TEXMEXY]

This is pure sex!!!!
