ZZ Top with no sunglasses.

From 1980 it seems. So weird to see their eyes.

Looks like that one launched them, hadn't seen that video before.

I have my guitar like that one enshrined. Was hoping to play it again someday but so far not looking like I will get back to it.

They were tight, but exactly what I DON'T want in a concert. It sounded exactly like record. If I'm gonna pay big bucks to see someone live, I want to hear them mix things up a bit, and stretch. Sometimes it falls flat, but that's how magic gets made. If I want to hear the album, I'll stay home and turn up the stereo. It's much cheaper, and more comfortable. I already know what they look like. I listen with my ears :^)

 

[BrokenVisage]

What, they couldn't even afford cheap sunglasses back then?

From what I remember you're correct.

The back-up female singers/stage show/crowd reaction just made for a great time. :thumbsup:

Probably because you were listening to the record. Don't get me wrong, ZZ Top makes some excellent rock n roll, but of the four or five times I've seen them live, they actually played maybe half of each concert.

good shit.

Cool trick.

I remember when only one of them had a beard and a short beard at that.
