ZZ Top Goin Down To Mexico Live

Great performace, and a great example of Gibbons' fretboard prowess, he smokes like nobody's business. The slide outro is similar to the solo at the end of Precious and Grace, which was recorded two years or so after this performance. Again, audio only, sorry. Some of these photos are also from the World Wide Texas Tour souvenir book.

franks going for it there!!....and what kind of madman compares clapton to Gibbons????

[joetamm]

@MobiusRoom Thanks, yeah I agree, Clapton and Gibbons are two completely different players. I often describe ZZ Top's live performances as Cream on bar-b-que'd steroids.

[ZX10thorgir]

Who is Clapton?

Billy Gibbons rules!

[drockkclapton]

@BOGATA9 Indeed! I've always felt they were America's southern answer to Cream.

@ZX10thorgir Clapton is a hell of a guy..and a hellof a guitar player...in 1968.
