i find a wee bit of irony in this release.

back in the day zz top were accused of using tape, lots of tape, like excessive amounts of tape, in their live shows.

Maybe in the Eliminator/synth days? I saw them a few years ago and didn't notice much in pre-recorded backing.

They definitely use live tapes and samples.

A lot of drums, keyboards, backing vocals and rhythm guitar beds.

Pre-Eliminator that was not the case.

If anyone has the documentary, you'll know what this is going to be...... raw ZZ Top. Looking forward to this. The songs they did on that doc are cool.

It's not just Geff. Last night, after my wife got up to go to bed, I slipped outside to our bedroom window to serenade her. First I played a DR10, which drew her to the window. Then I played a DR11, and even in the moonlight, I could see the tears welling up in her eyes. But then I made the mistake of playing a DR5. The neighbors called the cops and I got arrested for a noise violation.

My copy was just delivered. I am enjoying it just fine. No ear-bleeding to report so far.

If my condition deteriorates, I will update.

Same here. Sure, the volume is pumped up but it's definitely NOT an ear-bleeder.

As for the set, it's great..... kinda a live greatest hits. The only thing I can do without is Legs. I hate that song, second only to Rough Boy..... which is thankfully not on here.

Yes, the sound is definitely pumped up, but it gives the guitar a nice crunchy sound.
I am glad to hear you feel the same about "Rough Boy" as I do. I cannot stand it.

Rough Boy would've been better on a Gibbons solo effort. That way it would be easier to dismiss. :ohyes:

Hmmm…I do hate “Legs” but I love “Rough Boy” and enjoy playing it on guitar.

Gibbons’ solo on that is one of his best.

Now don’t get me started on “Velcro Fly.”

I like "Legs" and "Rough Boy" but what do I know?
I love the "Rough Boy" video too.
