Zz top greatest hits the video collection
Surveying two decades of their output, Greatest Hits isnt the perfect overview you might expect, but its still a pretty darn good driving album. Nevertheless, the undeniable highlights are the two tracks featuring cameos from Jeff Beck: he contributes lyrical solos to "Rough Boy" and helps with the heavy-footed boogie of "Sixteen Tons," pushing the trio just far enough out of its comfort zone to provide some crackle. One of ZZ Tops great gifts is its concision even in the side-long-jam era of the 1970s, the Texans almost always fit 10 cuts on their albums. Older, the Lil' Ol' Band from Texas sounds thicker and heavier - and Billy Gibbons' growl is so gruff it seems tattered - but that helps distinguish these versions from the spit and polish of the studio versions not better, per se, but certainly the work of a band whose members happily settle into their advanced years, not wishing to change a thing about how they do things. During the 2000s and 2010s, ZZ Top released an excellent studio album called La Futura, but that's ignored here in favor for all the songs that are classic rock staples. There is no visual component to Live: Greatest Hits from Around the World, which may be how it skates around the first live album distinction - if there's no video, this is a pure album - but the record mines a similar musical vein, collecting highlights from latter-day ZZ Top tours. I just wanted to see it again since real music television no longer exsist. I built the white guitars with dice on them that they used in Viva Las Vegas Video for billy and Dusty. I was the owner of Mogultone U.S.A, a guitar manufacturing company. Assembled from various shows from various tours from around the world, 2016's Live: Greatest Hits from Around the World is billed as ZZ Top's first "full-length live album" - a matter of dispute considering how Eagle Rock released three CD/DVD/Blu-ray combo sets between 20. ZZ Top-Greatest hits 'The video collection' I bought the video for one reason.
