ZZ TOP - Tube Snake Boogie - 1980 *re-upload 

SO TRUE, SOMETIMES I GET SCARED BECAUSE VIDEOS SOMETIMES DISAPPEAR....

Yep there's been a few cream, taste, rush, jimi h e ,even the police amongst many

​@@chriswalford9228you forgot the one with the biggest sound.😏 Motörhead

Grand Funk!!

Lol, they never had. I watched the 1980 show in person, and if you cant hear it, there is another guitar mixed in here. So much for the "huge sound"... smoke and mirrors. Find their oldest live shows, like Pensacola, 1971. THAT was the true sound of ZZ, 3-piece.. true and raw. This is just a scam for idiots.

Oh yeah... don't forget Cream or Green Day.

I don't think Dusty was Underrated at anything ! Thats a nice thing to say but if you have been listing to ZZ top as long as i have you would know that all three members of this little old band from Texas have been smok en for years. Maybe you haven't been around digging this band as long as me. Rest in peace Dusty and Rock on!!!

@@timothyspumphrey1186 Don't mind the "underrated" drones. They simply can't think of anything else to say. And of course he is wrong.

ZZ TOP is a massively successful rock band. And have been for decades. None of them are "underrated."

Saw them last year and they were awesome

Saw them last summer. Still as hard-rockin' as always!

@JJAMES clearly not his point.

Wish I could “Like” your comment twice. It’s so damn true.

Cap'n Crunch for sure!!! 🎸

I was playing in a band in Drammen at the time and remember watching this on Norwegian TV!

Amen

great taste, young man 😁

Wauw ...I was there at 20 Years old ...2 stages and 9 bands I think ...EPIC SHIT

I first saw them in 1976, after a friend played Fandango for me. At the time I didn't know much about them, and when they came out I could not believe that there were only 3 of them producing that incredible wall of sound.

All music journalists at the time were gobsmacked, they thought powertrios were dead and here the whole house was rocking!!

Once they released EL Loco, which wasn't out at the time. Tube Snake Boogie and the rest of album was not the end of hearing the Les Paul Standard. But Rev.Willie G. semi-retired Miss Pearly Gates. That guitar made ZZTOP, as Billy has stated. Its the tone,all about the tone! Gonna look up the release date fer EL Loco,be back uno memento. It claims June26'81, so that's 14 months later. I happened to see them the first of six times on consecutive tours starting Dec. 27, '81 to 2005. And throughout that timespan, they only performed Mexican Blackbird once on my fifth time. And that was at Rodeo Houston, being the first time in NRG Stadium and their first ro-day-o. And Willie brought The Eliminator and drove it around the stadium dirt. That was cool as a mofo!!! That first show in Dallas was awesome, no opening act. That something ya never forget being 19.

I know you're not asking for advice, but if I were you, I would look into alternate tunings. They show up a lot in this type of music. Keith Richards uses them all the time.

Thanks for your service to the Country, and I agree, we need to get back to raw jams! True story, I was born in 68' and lived outside Dallas in late 1977, but my dad had just gotten transferred so we were getting ready to move to LA, when I was at a roller rink and I heard, "I've been bad, I've been good, Dallas Texas, Hollywood". I thought they were talking about me, and that was the first time I had heard ZZ Top. Another song they played at the rink that stood out was "Jail Break" from Thin Lizzy.

they were prett damn smart to add just the right amount of cheese and flair in the 80's to stay in the game.........i grew up late 80's in new england. nobody around here listened to this kind of music then but everyone knew and liked zz top because of the beards/clothes/sunglasses/car.

My feelings for them have changed since I first saw them in 1969 (The Moving Sidewalks) and then many times since then as ZZ Top. And sorry to say. not for the good. Love the albums, love the music, but have been disappointed with their shows.

@@matthewmontegut9159 I saw ZZ-Top 2019 in Munich and was disappointed too! 1980 in Rockpalast they were awesome. The albums like most.

Jimi Hendrix said Billy was his favorite guitar player.

The Beatles would disagree about German crowds. But I get ya.

1974 ZZ TOP's Barn Dance and BBQ....

What does Frank "No" Beard drive?? That's awesome though man, ZZ rulez!!!!

Chris Martinez I’d never sell my house.

Got to c them at the summit a couple times but not that early. Fun times. They sold them 4 nights in a row out fast

@@GiveMeYourNachosButthead A very high powered and highly souped up version of the Eliminator with anti air craft turrets, a well stocked fridge and a top of the range flux capacitor just fitted and a tank fully loaded with the most powerful of Libyan nuclear reaction fuel. ZZ gonna nuclear blast their way through time and boogie it to the max every stretch of the god dam way!

Brian Dobbins so did I and totally agree the soundtrack of my life.Coolest and most awesome Texan boys going,and for so long

His voice has aged like a fine whiskey.

I was about ten years ahead of you but with a similar military AIT experience...we were crammed into a car entering Nogales Mexico with Jimi Hendrix on the radio...my first hearing of Jimi. Wow, who the hell is that,? I sez...

I heard it first in about '83, when I was 13. Lol. Can't remember if "El Loco" or "Deguello" was my first ZZ Top album...... Yeah, ... Old. Lol

You just can't beat ZZ Tops lyrics look through the albums they got away with a lot

Their sound is incredible live. The energy they give off gives you goosebumps!!

Totally holding it down.

Dusty Hill very unique, underrated and double clutching bassist ; fills up all gaps and can play the fast bass runs when needed..

So true !!! We miss Rockpalast !!!

Awesome memories

WOW, what kind of parents let their 14 year old go to a rock concert. SHAME and SHUN... SHAME and SHUN. LOL

@@itruck1 Ha,ha Mine did,I wasn't 14 .l was 12 .It was 1973 ,Been hooked to their music ever since.Great,funny comment.,! Walter B. Walter B 🎸🎼☝💥💯
