ZZ Top: Live From Texas - Reissue Coming

From my inbox - some ZZ Top news:

New York, NY (September 16, 2020)--On September 25, Eagle Rock Entertainment is proud to release ZZ Top: Live From Texas -- a reissue of the 2 LP set, originally released in 2010. Now, a decade later, this classic concert will be available as a special limited run of 1,000 copies, pressed on white vinyl.

ZZ Top: Live From Texas features audio from the certified double-platinum 2008 Live From Texas DVD / Blu-ray / CD release. Additionally, “Heard It On The X” is included as a vinyl-exclusive track, an extra bonus to the original CD release.

Live From Texas captures ZZ Top performing a stacked setlist of their celebrated songs, including tracks from their 10x platinum 1983 masterpiece Eliminator. “Tush,” “La Grange,” “Legs,” “Cheap Sunglasses,” “Gimme All Your Lovin’”, “Sharp Dressed Man”...these songs go beyond the title of “hits” -- they are classic anthems, woven into the fabric of both Rock and Roll and American culture. Recorded in Texas in 2007, this 2 LP sonically showcases Billy F Gibbons, Dusty Hill, and Frank Beard delivering their songs with the sound, spirit, and swagger, establishing them as international superstars.

Five decades following their inception, the “Little Ol’ Band From Texas” continues to inspire and thrill fans worldwide. One of the most instantly recognizable music outfits in history, their rhythm-driven, big brand of blues-rock and distinct image made them inimitable entertainers and cemented their legacy in the Rock and Roll zeitgeist. ZZ Top: Live From Texas proves that prowess in spades.

Two beards, and another without one named Beard. The mind boggles. Oh, I forgot to mention the drum machine! My apologies, AP-ZE-38-2!

Whether they are a bar band that got lucky or a band with a sneaky understanding of how to parlay a few hits into smoother 80s gold (or both), ZZ Top have some great tunes. Pretty good assortment of said tunes on this list.

i know it’s an unpopular opinion, especially being from TX, but the band’s live show has gotten stale. sure they have monster hits and i love most of them, but i had to stop going to see them live. it just got dull. i have no idea how this original release went 2X platinum.

[GNR]

I would agree with stu about stale. Probably a little bit of age and $$ spent on stage sets. Antenna tour sticks out in my mind with the volt meters and dancing girls behind the curtain to only see silhouettes during "Breakaway".... now that was a concert :)

But this band just plain rocks through all the decades. Never wrong spinning them in a bar on the jukebox.

Was at Nutter Center near Dayton, OH for the Antenna tour in May, 1994. The silhouettes and music was fun, though I was not compelled to see them again.
