[pwm1962]

I can't imagine how anyone could click on the dislike button. Just don't know.....

[Davantaur]

effing amazing drums...



[BLibertyValance]

!ZZ-TOP!

[freebird7663]

38 anal retentive commie pinko fascist bastards!

[Bluesgerd47]

Who are these 38 Buttheads who dislike this?

[chocodiledundee1]

ZZTop are the BEST...and they are from TEXAS (Jimi Hendrix said it, Billy Gibbons is the best guitar player)

[SirKowalski666]

@chocodiledundee1 Hendrix said Billy Gibbons was his favorite guitar player.

[JimisGuy]

Man they are the coolest dudes ever to form a band!!!!!

[Mightymopar1973]

...I believe this song is about the musician "Muddy waters".....He signed with the Chess brothers in the early sixties, if im not mistaken.....but could be...

[Mightymopar1973]

@Mightymopar1973 ...i was mistaken, it was late 40s not early 60s

[steveanderson81]

Taking care of business is his name...

[flip7313]

[TheEmilylander]

Very near Christmas and after the dentist you make me smile - love you !

[fifty1fifty74]

TESTIFY Billy!

[southerngentleman315]

Must have been a premonition for catrina

[ontariobuds]

This whole dvd was fucking amazing!

[paynecharles500]

As you folks can see, ZZ Top are messengers. Jesus calls ZZ Top to make all trip arrangements. Better take heed. I hope when I go to Heaven they are there with their words of wisdom. Santa Claus, I've been good. Please leave me 2 tickets and airfare to see ZZ Top and I'll leave a whole tray of fresh cookes with a gallon of milk. Reindeer welcome in my driveway or roof. I'll leave them a snack, too.

[sinedangel]

I was born in the wrong generation, this is real music!

[TheLES53]

BAD TO THE BONE AS ALLWAYS

[mylove4pets]

Because they think Jesus doesn't like good music

[larsaschultz]

only from texas baby... =)

[SooperKewl]

Jesus may have just left Chicago, but he left Billy in charge of the Pearly Gates!

[YnferalNGS]

what happend to my generation?! how could we forget about this good music and start off this new pop shit?!

[emperorjordan]

gods among men.

[ribblock1]

Saw this tour!

[paynecharles500]

They've improved through the years. TOP NOTCH for sure. Style and class.

[myowntruth44]

[blacktooth1100]

Immense....

[4spr]

Greatest beards in the entire internet.

[larsaschultz]

great band

[LedZepLover60]

Tighter than a midgets fist!!!

[68caddilac]

those hombres are tighter than a fishes rectum,'SELF RAISING FLOWERS'

[redproxy15]

i kind of always imagine ZZ top as two warcraft dwarves playing guitar :))

[redfishradical]

One of, if not THE baddest ever blues-rock tunes ever recorded. The perfect marriage of driving rock & traditional blues. Poor a drink, light your smoke, set the stereo for repeat and let yourself float away!

[somekindonut]

31 people like Britney Spears

[z2153]

I remember when Billy was playing this song with a 5 o'clock shadow.

[tommieparch]

jesus left chicago! why didnt he take the black flash mobs with him!!

[wrestlingmaniac5568]

im a 15 year old and most 15 year olds like rap but zz top man is awesome!!!! by the way rap sucks!!! xD

[lovehandle01]

Billy Gibbons playing a Les Paul = Awesome

[gregtthomas]

So good it'll make you slap yo momma.

[gstlb]

Lots of post MTV chic on stage, but at base just a really good Texas blues band

[ColtAaron]

ONE MORE TIME FOR MA JE-ZUS!

[rrtodd95]

This was from the era when ZZ Top was the greatest small venue band in North America.

Tres Hombres and Fandango are easily two of the ten best albums in the history of rock.

[reno145]

@rrtodd95 WAS? I dare say nobody does it better. AC/DC comes close.

[rrtodd95]

@reno145 AC/DC doesn't play small venues though. You can see ZZ Top in a 1000 seat club, you won't see AC/DC playing that.

First time I saw them they where playing a night club that held just that number.

Blew my fucking mind.

[reno145]

@rrtodd95 The point I was trying to make is that ZZ Top rocks. Big and bad arenas, or small roadhouses. Ain't nobody can out groove that lilly old band from Texas. AC/DC rocks just about as hard.

[RcUniverseGuy]

@rrtodd95 yup first time i seen them was at a barn in new hampshire pretty amazing stuff and scenery

[dewbeewah]

this is some real rootsy shit here~!

[Mischtchratzer]

yeah.. Jesus left Chicago.. with a one way ticket.....

[SuperDachshund]

Just so damn cool.

Only three guys?

Yeah.  How many do you need?

[juwtjuwb]

That is so awesome. I don't know about the beird, but dude, they rock!!

[pumpsiegr]

How could anyone dislike this? It's not only a terrific performance, it's wonderfully good-humored.

[octobeertide]

Does "Thumb down" mean "awesome" somewhere in the world? That would be the only reason for 30 dislikes.

[Pattimelt1]

Can't do anything but LOVE. :D

[MynZnusz]

haha when he says the "right here in Essen, Germany" I think he's kinda like a rapper. In a good way.

[gillybgoode]

Thank you Jesus! : )))))

[td7474]

Zz in essen germany 1980! And people wonder what the solution is to world peace. You got a little ol band from texas singing songs that resonate round the world. Music baby! Music!

[WorkingRainorshine]

@theDeckisStacked

Yeah, he left the USA, but it was a quiet departure, no one noticed. I don't see him comin' back in my lifetime either.

[WorkingRainorshine]

You've got to be freaking kidding me? 26 cork soakers clicked dislike?

[TheBownut23]

the shit . u r lost

[Fathertimeless]

Do these cats actually play any original tunes they are stompin as players.

[TOSportsFan1990]

@Fathertimeless they play tons of original tunes, if youve never heard "sharp dressed man" or "legs" you must live under a rock

[Fathertimeless]

@TOSportsFan1990

Yo Dumb ass they look like a cover band I dont recall them looking like this back in the day. I know ZZTop Ive been covering there toons for years. I just wondered if They did there own stuff. The video looks a bit to crisp to have been taken back in 80.

[WorkingRainorshine]

@Fathertimeless Yo yo bro' or sis, don't ever, ever, ever, ever, say anything bad about being in "a cover band", or any band that plays only covers. etc, Ever. Not unless you wanted to be hated 4 ever by about 99 percent of the musicians jamming at the clubs in your area and their fans. Take it from me I leaened the hard way. Ooooopps.

[oldVideoGamesChannel]

@Fathertimeless You're an idiot, and this is from a DVD by the way. 

[Fathertimeless]

@oldVideoGamesChannel

Fuck off skippy just fuck off...

[oldVideoGamesChannel]

@Fathertimeless I can destroy you

[DudleyDewRight1]

@oldVideoGamesChannel A Bold Statement

[69zenos1]

fer eabnh orhgthose dudes are  ssoiiiiioooooooo GAYYYYY

[Soulpatchltd]

WTF???? Who are these guys?

[iPapaSqwat]

Thumbs up if beesleeper is a troll !!

Got this on dvd...makes me happy

[libsstink100]

what a bad ass concert that must have been,,,the TOP are absolutely the best!!!!

[NintendoSinceBirth1]

Why don't they play this stuff at my church?

[bjizzle123]

@NintendoSinceBirth1 mine does, also jam she talks to angels.

you can just bring a guitar with you and get on up there and do whatever. i should go more.

[NintendoSinceBirth1]

@bjizzle123 nice haha

[MasterCaesar]

@beesleeper

You certainly have a big knowledge and understanding of "shit"...

People, don't bother to argue with him... he's a gourmet, a conoisseur...

[bobbyozb]

Saw them in Youngstown, OH last month......Oh yeah, they ripped ass big time !!!......Simply outstanding !!!

[toothmaker22000]

beesleeper....suck my dick...dumbass

[beesleeper]

This "band" should be called ZZ Shit. They should rename themselves ZZ Shit. If they had a correct name it would be ZZ Shit.

[mojodog1000]

Taking care of business is his name....

[beesleeper]

Please call them ZZ Shit, like most people, because that is what they are, ZZ Shit. The band is called ZZ Shit. They are from Texas, and known as ZZ Shit.

[parkdw1]

@beesleeper Your an idiot.

[wthjrtx1]

@beesleeper

Yeah. Douche bags like you are welcome in my beloved home...The Great state of TEXAS!!

We need a good place to piss. On you would feel real good after a night of drinking cold beer and listening to our TEXAS trio here. You no dick. Spunk Monkey...Boo YAH!!

[michaeljamsmith]

@beesleeper Sure why not. After they ARE the SHIT! No shit as badass as ZZ TOP!

[Hoggeify]

Well... Jesus just left Sweden....

[edslides1]

is that pearly gates billys wankin on?

sure sounds good!

[rherbert57]

Billy Gibbons sure does appreciate his rhythm section, as do we all.

[MrReed314]

Ahhh..."The Bad 'Ol Days"...

[76CutlasSupreme]

Beards = Rock!

Jesus is cool.

[phush1]

19 people are staying... in Chicago

[tlynch1218]

19 people are stupid enough to be waiting for the second coming and missed it again.

[ohiosevere]

thank god s@ny and bmG hasn't got there claws in this video rock on ......later

[LastAyleidKing]

19 ppl like justin bieber

[thebonoboz]

these 3 guys make of the greatest sounds on earth!

[preshytimey1]

I feel very sorry for 18 people! Something is WRONG with you! Seriously WRONG! ZZ Forever!

[wjmartinmusicman]

A perfect example of why ZZ Top has kept on in the hearts and ears of blues rock fans since the 70's.

[buddyredcat1964]

18 people have serious mental issues. (dislikes)

[cajonovo]

Nearly Perfekt Playback Show

[mylexicon2]

Why is a raven like a writing desk?

When is a Beard just a mustache?

ZZ Top is the answer to both

[TheTricia311]

never get tired of this 3 piece kick ass band

[beeblebronx]

@MarkGronan1988

Saw Jesus last night on the Reeperbahn. He just stood there, waitin' on the bus! :)

[animascat]

love this song. you don't have to worry cuz takin care of business is his name

[beeblebronx]

@animascat

You know, ZZ Top were before my times. I was born 1970, so they were probably before my age. But I remember them playing a comparably boring song such as "Rough Boy" from "Afterburner" on the Roskilde Festival, and both drove me to tears, the magical guitar and the even more magical drums by Frank. They created an atmosphere noone was able to top, not even any other band around.

[jointops99]

@beeblebronx ZZ 1st album was in 71,,the 1st gig was in 70,,,,so they really wernt b4 ur time,,they where @ ur time...but then i guess it depends on how u define time..lol

[vogaqq]

Did Billy try to to dress like an amish dude or is that just how it looked?

[beeblebronx]

Nowadays everybody talks about Dave Grohl who surely is a great drummer, but I think Frank Beard was definitively one of the most underestimated drummers in Rock history. Frank Beard is a monster, without him ZZ Top would be nothing.

[dkasidis]

@beeblebronx well man not exactly nothing they all are greatt musicians.i think that they have more full sound than many groups even though they are only 3 guys.

[zzfanhun]

@beeblebronx I agree with you. Frank is a superb drummer, had a great timing and precision. I always said, that he's drummed his best on Tejas album.

[beeblebronx]

Love the choreography. Greets from Germany!

[cowgirlmoon]

Jesus is just alright with me.... and so is ZZ Top!

[pedoncule123]

wow 18 poeple can't make the difference between a thumb Up and a thumb Down...

[TheGent85]

no band can compete with zz top.

[dickkopf100]

ZZ Top is Topppp.....

[JulesElway07]

negative 17???? omg.. sck my dck cnt

[LHcountryboy1]

..playin' so funkykool, they didn't even need their shades..yea-yea-yea-yaaaaaa :))

[aaronschwark]

lol 17 peeps dont like rofl they must be muslim

great vid keep em coming

[hicgerekyoktu]

@aaronschwark what's the point??

[Tarten46]

17 peoples still waitn on the bus...

[xAxVxZx]

im from the windy city. FUCK YEAH

[jwalsh671]

This has to be my favorite by the Top! It never received the radio airplay that it deserved unfortunately. I can live without many of their songs that DID get airplay--Sharp Dressed Man particularly.

[xrobwx]

Chuck Norris told them about the beard and they listened!!!!!

[allhailrussell]

@xrobwx suck,oh i mean chuck horris,oh i mean norris couldnt lick their shoes

[RolandDresel]

where are their Glasses?? Idiot! 

[switcherx]

Modern Gospel music

[JayJay7357]

WHERE ARE THEIR GLASSES?

[leeharveyosmosis]

I would murder 5 people to get Billie's guitar tone.

[Tarten46]

@leeharveyosmosis thats what jimmy hendrix thought to, cheers.

[luppu100]

I like zz top and there music alot .Thay are a great band.

[GorgeousRoddyChrome]

How do you grow a beard like that?

[NickEricson]

@GorgeousRoddyChrome Don't shave

[gfimadcat]

@GorgeousRoddyChrome lots of time, mostly. That's like, 5 years of beard growing and grooming lookin' at you right there. If not more. Both Billy and Dusty have the awesome beard of power(tm).

[bcjake01]

Billy and Dr John look alike at some angles

[dennistirc]

frist consert in detriot with blackfoot love that southern fried rock and roll

[69zenos]

@apathyphd420 don't get me wrong. They were or are a great band. Saw them a few times in the 70's

[69zenos]

@apathyphd420 I know what I see in the video. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

[tiLuc1695]

SHAAAAME on dislikers!

[ocaladartmama]

Saw them Syracuse N.Y., they were the opening act for The Average White Band, after hearing ZZ nobody wanted to let them off the stage,  All said Average White Band be dammed

[69zenos]

GREAT MUSIC~~~~~~~

butt den dudes be HOMOs we sump

billy LOVES ta fuck dustiy un da buutttt definitleee un vbbbbutt

[61lcp]

@69zenos Why do guys like you post this kind of junk. You Know there is a fairly widely accepted Psychiatric theory that most Homophobes have latent Homosexual tendencies they hate within themselves. Were you aware of that or are you supressing well?

[69zenos]

@61lcp No, not at all. I have absolutely NO latent homo tendencies, So, no, I do not accept your invitation for a date, dude, Sorry.

[TheKingofRockMusic]

not only does this stand the test of time, it just gets better and better and better.....nothing comes close to this all out rock ....

[texblues49]

I went to school with Frank and he was my boy friend in JR. high school. He used to carry my books when we walked home together. In those days he looked like Eddie Munster! Of course he played in a band in high school. Doyle Bramhall was also a high school friend of ours.

[dapvettes]

@sfsTrader, it's a ticket stub, torn in half, instead of a full, perfect ticket. The other warm up band was The Fabulous Thunderbirds, which weren't exactly "fabulous", at the time.

[virnman]

SUPERB

[dapvettes]

Who remembers watching this live, back in Texas?  I do! ZZ Top was the warm up band for The Rolling Stones in the Cotton Bowl, Oct. 31 & Nov. 1, 1981. I still have the ticket hangin' on my garage wall.

[sfsTrader]

@dapvettes that might be a really rare ticket. you probably have it for memories but eventually that could be worth lots of money.

[NIDANWalthersan]

Hooked since 73 !!!

[PennsyltuckyBucky]

Ok ,the 14 mofos who dislike this, are no doubt the generation raised on this neutral pop, auto pitch, beatbox, neutral chord shit. You throw a dominant 7th or a flat five at them, they run home to mommy.

[Hugegoodgame]

Anyone who has an issue with this band has a , well I'm not going to say it, just listen more, criticise less and be gone with you,

[lunar05]

@Hugegoodgame thank god for my momma raising me on the greatest rock band to roam the earth, was born in 87 so i was just a baby when they were mainstream, but :D my mom has records of ZZ Top so, props to my mom for helping me to understand the greatest rock band.

[HealyPerson]

Gimli and Glóin started a rock band

[ToomBurger]

curious if anyone knows if the LP used in this vid is "Pearly Gates"?

[animalnation9000]

14 people spotted Jesus in Manhattan rather than on his way to New Orleans.

[metaltrekman]

Dem Boyz Can/Do Play Da Blues!! Love It!!

[buddymarcum]

Jesus Done Left Chicago and he's headed to New Orleans.

[hsdscsds]

Awesome!!

[agentspinnaker]

I thing they are now better than ever.

[dickiedick1962]

HELL YEAH

[Yeoleman]

@MultiShades: I agree. I saw them during this tour and as much as I love these guys I was disappointed with the changes.

[MultiShades]

like it when he plays a Gibson-now days he plays what I think is fuzzy 

[ALANRANJAL]

13 people are Islamist

[derGourmand]

All I can say after hearing this is....I'm comm'in Jesus, I'm commin....

[evening1]

Frank keeps the groove

Dusty got the bottom

Billy got the squeal,

but after all of that,

ZZ Top is a band.

.

[meankitty8]

13 people are hardcore barry manilow fans

[logansoileau11]

these guys are crazy

[GerryRocks64]

Rockpalast! Europaweit auf WDR!

[kosmickat]

Right there at the 2 minute mark and again at 3:36; that is the sparkling definition of white hot blistering blues

[darrincates]

Thank You! - I learned the right chords from this post! .. I love how relaxed, incontrol, tight they are, here for this live performance, ... meanwhile the set up is so hot, it almost sounds out of tune when they crank it up ... just on that threshold for this gig ... they intended to give em' both barrels, and I think that's what they got!

[Thorsten000]

scfdffs

[Thorsten000]

13 people left chicago reversely

[Ardalla555]

I like the tv commercial they have here in Houston now promoting the city. ZZ and Hakeem are local gods here.

[anthonyjperri]

I waited on Dusty at a store I worked at in the Woodlands, Tx. He is such a stereo typical Bass Player. He was very friendly. Signed my hat; shook my hand. Did not say a fucking word.

[lequellequistedu45]

this song rulzzzz

[russellrosario]

jesus just asked 13 people to leave chicago

[crazysteezy]

12 people are deaf
