I saw ZZ Top in Winnipeg last year and when Billy asked for his blues hat someone in the front row threw one just like that onto the stage but he just ignored it and wore the one from the "technician". Still one of the best concerts ive ever been to.
I hauled a trailer full of gear for the boys during their "Eliminator" tour in 1986. I got pretty used to seeing this song done live (it wasn't on the eliminator album, but was on the set list) this is pretty well the best version I've seen. good work Mick!
To HendrixHarley , no doubt Joe B is awesome , i love his playing , but im sure he and a lot more tip their hat to this statesman of the guitar , a true master. Music aint a competition it either moves you or it doesn't. Enjoy it for what it is great music !
BEST LIVE version of this song available on YOUTUBE and believe me, I've been through all of "I Need You Tonight" versions I can find. This one is the best! Thank God for you uploading this. I was starting to go crazy because I couldn't find a high enough quality version of this song.
Billy Gibbons and SRV's brother Jimmie Vaughan jammed together in the 70s. As the story goes, one jam had them finishing with harmony feedback notes, whereupon their amps blew up.
just seen them at Wolverhampton..cool as ten........billy has to be the coolest dude on the planet...he could play that guitar in his sleep...awesome band.
Thanks for the HQ video. Probably my favorite ZZ Top song.

Ok, so now I know what I need to play better blues: Rev. Willie G. should baptise me in the Mississippi river.

That's some kind of magic flows from Mr Gibbons fingers. All those solos, all those frazes are hell unpleyable to random mortal.
