Rehabilitated.... (2008-08-16)

I remember ZZ top from the seventies and always saw them as a great southern boogie band. The eighties gave them fame -but at a cost to their image.. all those videos left them cartoonish to most casual onlookers..When I told my wife.."look watch this...they really are a great band" she didn't really believe me...However..we get to see the real deal..if you love paired down three piece guitar band with fantastic skill this is for you...go and get it.. Wife loved it...and wants me to play just like Billy....if only...

ZZ TOP LIVE IN TEXAS (2008-08-11)

Like a number of other reveiwers,I have waited for a ZZ Top live product,and this does not disappoint.The band are tight, Billy shows what a good if underrated guitarist he is,and the whole thing is very enjoyable.I was also at The Monsters Of Rock festival in 1985 and the bands performance that day is still in my top ten performances I have seen to this day.They also showed a couple of young bands on the day how things should be done,and both have gone on to be fairly big in their own right-Metallica and Bon Jovi.Great blues rock,buy?for me a no brainer.

stunning. (2008-07-31)

ZZ Top don't mess about on stage. This is a very slick DVD with all the ZZ Top elements. There is something from most of the albums. ZZ Top never really have long solos or chat for ages with the crowd, this concert is no exception (apart from a smooth Rev Billy G introduction). The moves are clearly well choreographed just as you would expect from a group going for 40 years... I have Every ZZ Top Album and DVD, this is Better than the Best of DVD and contains highlights from all the albums of real note. A hour and 20 minutes of Dolby Digital, my player does not play the concert in 5.1. But it sounds amazing. The picture quality is superb. I am playing this on a 37 inch LCD wall panel in progressive scan wide screen and the quality is sufficient that the smoke and lights don't pixilate like poor quality DVS's do.The quality of the DVD is proven by the fact its available in Blue-ray. So the master is obviously up to the job.This is a winner.

ZZ Undone with poor mixing (2008-06-17)

Looked forward to this release having seen the band a couple of times when they visited the UK. Sorry to report but this DVD does no justice for the band. Having played it a few times i cannot believe how they sanctioned this release. The vocals are buried so deep in the mix that this is almost an instrumental performance. Billy never had the strongest of voices so you would have thought logically that the sound engineer would have compensated for this.Notwithstanding the above i thought the performance a little lackluster as the band seemed to not have the energy they once had. Some of Billy's solos were uninspired and indeed mistake ridden.However if you love the band this is worth purchasing but having waited so long i just believe more effort good have gone into making this something special...which this certainly is not.

Bliss!! (2008-06-16)

I've been waiting impatiently for a ZZ Top live dvd for years and finally here it is! Rock music fads come and go but what doesn't and will never change is the appeal of bands like this. The opener 'Got Me Under Pressure' took me right back to Donnington 85' when 70,000 jumped as one to that riff! On this evidence The Reverend Billy G is quite possibly the finest blues rock stylist alive today. Certainly he's more unique in his phrasing than anybody else - he wasn't Hendrix's favourite player for nothing! The RBG voice is equally his own, a low rumble like a pristine hotrod that can shift the gears when needed. Jesus Just Left Chicago is maybe the best example: awesome! His partners in crime are also top notch. The ever reliable Dusty Hill is the perfect foil, both rhythmically and vocally. His vocal contributions are a delight, and Beard's drumming spot on throughout. Definitely a good idea to film them in a theatre rather than a larger venu. The transfer is almost HD in quality, and no "fuzzy moments" of arty, tacky filming! Some good extras as well, a good twenty minutes of chat with the boys over a poker game and a shorter docu. 10/10. You can keep your Coldplay's, U2's and Muses. ZZ Top are the best band in the world :))
