NOVEMBER 10th, 1990 ~ ZZ TOP LIVE IN SAN DIEGO AT THE SPORTS ARENA
This is A Quality. For 13 years ago, someone did a damn fine job of recording this! Sounds like a HUGE crowd, and the crowd loved this concert, rightfully so! ZZ is playing very fast at this concert. The tempo is quicker than to way faster than average on most songs. It's very interesting to listen to. A true ZZ fan will get a high off this one. Goosebumps are guaranteed. I got this one direct from the Master from the person who taped it (a 'Master' taper no doubt). This is a truely amazing ZZ performance. ZZ Rocked this place apart and the crowd gets insane. This is one of ZZ's finest concerts that I have ever heard! This is a TOP 10 Live show! Thanks so much Brian!

NOVEMBER 16th, 1990 ~ THE ZZ TOP STORY
This is an A Quality transfer from LP
(2) CD SET
This is the ZZ Top Story, a 1990 interview with Ed Shocky covering the entire history of the band. 3 hours long. Transfer is from an LP of unknown origon. Appears to be from a radio show called the "Unistar Radio Network" as it has some commercials in it. Has a few clicks and pops from the LP source. Extremely RARE! Outstanding!

JANUARY 28th -&- 29th, 1991 ~ ZZ TOP IN NEW YORK CITY AT THE MADISON SQUARE GARDEN
These are A-B Quality. Both full shows both nights. Great way to hear ZZ just 24 hours apart at the same venue, which is a little unusual. Set lists are the same both nights. The recording quality on the 28th is much better than on the 29th. Will only trade this one as a (4) CD set as these shows should stay together for comparison.

1) Planet Of Women

11) Heard It On The X
12) 2000 Blues
13) Blue Jean Blues
14) Just Got Paid Today
The massive highlight of this pair of shows is Billy's incredible performance of what may be the longest version of "Just Got Paid" ever which is 8 minutes long on the first night, 6.5 minutes long the second night. I'm not even going to try to pick a few creative words to describe that as it's non-descript. It's the finest performance of "Just Got Paid" that I have heard. The whole first night was just unbelievable overall. The following night was great as well. Billy talked a lot more the first night.

MARCH 1st, 1991 ~ ZZ TOP LIVE IN HARTFORD CONNECTICUT
(2) CD SET
Quality is A. This is most likely a soundboard recording, as there is no local crowd noise. You can hear the audience but this was not recorded from somewhere in the audience. It's sounds as if it were recorded from above the stage or somehow plugged directly into the sound system. This show was released on silver pressed CD under a fake label in Italy titled "ZZ Top Live In Hartford". The cover had a picture of a woman in a bikini (less top) laying on the back of a red Ferrari. That CD was sourced and remastered from a bootleg Vinyl record. ***This is a direct LP to CD archived version***. This version of the show came directly from the soundboard vinyl LP, not the bootleg CD. Outstanding performance.

APRIL 11th, 1991 ~ ZZ TOP LIVE IN LAKELAND FLORIDA
(2) CD SET
Also on VHS or DVD (Audience Filmed)
(Show is missing the 1st song, Planet of Women and starts in the middle of Sleeping Bag). This show has some flaws here and there were the video taper turned off the camera for a few seconds several times, perhaps to prevent being spotted, who knows. Overall it's mostly complete and fun to watch. They look like they are having fun on stage, even Frank. Boys are dressed in black suits with white baseball caps. The taper using a hand-held camcorder gets better at zooming in as the show progresses. Gives a really good look at the stage show, laser shows and props used.

MAY 15th, 1991 ~ ZZ TOP LIVE IN HAMILTON (TORONTO) ONTARIO CANADA (Recycler Tour)
(1) CD ONLY (SHOULD BE 2 ~ MISSING CD 1)
Quality is A+. This is a totally excellent quality recording. Superb! A+!!! Unfortunately I am missing Disk 1. Looking for it! Anyone? This was a bootleg LP release called "Hit Me With Your Rhythem" on a fake label called "MLP".
1) Planet Of Women (On Missing Disk 1)
1) Francine
1) Planet Of Women
1) Planet Of Women
This is A- / A Quality and has been remastered in Europe. Fun show to listen to and a nice performance. ZZ sounds very good here and they do some minor variations. The crowd loves it!
1) Planet Of Women
This is B+ / A- Quality. While it's a great show there is evidence of tape degradation before it was transfered to digital, mainly during the first few songs. It's still an enjoyable show to listen to. Sleeping Bag is a special version.
1) Planet Of Women
18) La Grange
This is A quality. A major thanks to my pal John for finding this extremely rare one. This is a very clear recording direct from the original analog capture. A killer concert, and a prime '91 recording! Very nice! This is an extremely rare recording that did not surface until 2004. The person who taped it decided to share it 14 years later. This is one fine performance that really makes you wish you had been there. Super cool to listen to again! Have mercy. :)
1) Planet Of Women
This is A quality. Great audience recording from 1991. This show can and should be remastered. It's a blazing fine ZZ performance! This is perhaps the best 1991 audience recording. It's excellent. Frank Beard really tore the drums up good here! This is almost soundboard quality. Might be even...
1) Planet Of Women
This is A quality. Wonderful audience recording from 1991. Excellent performance!
1) Planet Of Women
14) Just Got Paid
This is B- quality. Quality perfomance. One of the last shows for a few years.

14) Just Got Paid (Blistering wicked performance!!!)
NOTE - This recording is no longer available for trades, pending copyright. It is now only listed to note that it does exist.
1) Planet of Women
Billy opens the show by thanking Eric Clapton and Joe (Cocker)
for the last minute invitation. "We gonna have a good time in
here tonight", mentions that they are on "holiday" and to "relax"
with 'em tonight.. Night #1 was a very relaxed paced bluesy show
where night #2 gets down and jams hard. Very interesting
comparison of their broad flexibility and variance of play styles.
Billy says "Let's start by goin' down with this Elmore James
tune here, and I believe I will dust my broom."
01. Dust My Broom
(Billy says "Dusty's gonna sing Willie Brown's Future Blues)
02. Future Blues
(Billy says "Well that's what will happen to ya ya know, ya
hang down there in that Memphis town a little bit, it'll happen
to every one of ya, just get, ya just get that, it gets all over ya.
That bluesy soil and stuff. Sang somthin' down there. "
03. I Loved A Woman (Awesome slow bluesy soft and extended
6 minute version by Dusty)
(Billy says "Well I'm gonna unbutton this jacket here a little
bit and show ya that we be the sharp dressed men tonight."
04. Sharp Dressed Man
01. Dust My Broom
1) Awesome Intro!
1) Awesome Intro!
This show is a prime example of why fans should always try to get a recording to save instead of just a photo or two. Not only did they pull an odd song off, but for the true fan there's a 'lil more to be found here. Note Billy's guitar starting in the middle of "She Love My Automobile".

1) World Of Swirl
I was able to get a second opinion on this show today and a passing ZZ Top fan stopped by my house right when I was listening to it. They laughed and said "Oh bitchin! How did someone record that so well?"
Also, a highlight of this show is the special treatment given to "Breakaway". It's totally awesome! Show includes some unusual extended versions!)
This is a TOP 10 BEST ZZ Live audience recording for both quality of audience recording and performance!

I would be extremely interested in trading this concert with anyone who has it in order to compare recordings and see if there may have been more than one audience recording of this show. I know that this recording is from the most original source possible. Myself, personally, I will have to include this live performance of "Breakway" among at least the top 50 most excellent performances ever by ZZ live. This will make you stop and pay attention, and replay this song to make sure you heard it right! Try listening to it just once. You can't! This is a TOP 10 ZZ Live performance!
1) Intro (With pyrotechnics) & World Of Swirl
Billy Gibbons deals with Beavis & Butthead with style. Unusual and unique.
13) Fool For Your Stockings (Awesome)
1) Intro
1) Intro
12) Fool For Your Stockings
16) "She Don't Love Me, She Loves My Automobile" (With The Lone Wolf Horns) ~ This is an extended version as well. I wonder if Willie Nelson has ever heard this one? I'll bet he hasn't.
20) Sharp Dressed Man
23) La Grange (An absolutely astounding and melodic extended version!!!)
26) Unreleased electronic song pre-recorded with vocals by Billy comes on the sound system as the crowd begins to exit. The recording only captures about 10 seconds of that song.
This show is about 2 hours long. Yep! 25 live songs. 26 songs if you count the pre-recorded unreleased one played at the end. A very nice long show. This may in fact be the longest show that has been preserved by audience recording. All songs are at a somewhat relaxed pace and most are extended versions.
This is a TOP 10 BEST LIVE ZZ performance!
1) Awesome Intro!

22) La Grange (with false start and crowd gets pumped! ~ Incredible extended version!!!!)
1) Intro
10) Fuzzbox Voodoo
Please anyone correct me if I am wrong, but I believe this was ZZ Top's final concert of the 1994 Antenna Tour, their last live performance with The Lone Wolf Horns and the last time they have played several songs live. It also appears as if the band took a break for all of 1995 and then started doin live performances again in the summer of 1996.
1) Intro
16) She Loves My Automobile (With Lone Wolf Horns)
B- Quality - Sounds okay when played loud. A highlight of this show is the rare opening song "I'm Just The Ministrant".
1) I'm Just The Ministrant (Possibly the only live performance ever)
C - B Quality - Sounds good when played Loud! This is a really cool concert. Billy introduces "I Walked From Dallas" sung by Dusty as their newest song and gives the title in French. Billy said several times that they could not see on the stage because there was not enough light (before I Walked From Dallas and Brown Sugar)
1) I Thank You
B+ Quality - Fairly decent recording from 1996. It's complete and has a little bit of mic feedback during "I Thank You" and "Mexican Blackbird" which is pretty cool. Sounds like whoever recorded it was pretty close to the stage.
1) I Thank You
9) She's Just Killing Me
A- Quality, nice recording, only one known to exist of this show in Oslo Norway.
1) I Thank You
Billy says "I've got a brand new African hat, and this pretty little song for ya."
7) Brown Sugar
9) She's Just Killing Me
19) Tube Steak Boogie
A- quality. Not bad at all. Nice typical show from late '96. Enjoyable to listen to and the crowd really loves this one.
1) Under Pressure
Quality is A-. This was taped from the audience with a handheld digital camcorder with nice audio. This was a SOLD OUT show and at the end of the video the person who taped it also video taped a shot of the Radio City Music Hall lighted marqee on Times Square that says "ZZ TOP SOLD OUT". This show is from a very clear first generation duplication then to digital DVD. Conversion to digital DVD for long term preservation was done by using a Dazzle 150 USB 2.0 Digital Video Encoder (DVE) with real DVD encoding chip, and an external USB 2.0 TDK DVD-R+R using Moviestar V5.0 & Roxio DVD Builder. Billy jokes around about how someone was supposed to be giving him a New York Yankees baseball cap, and how they were going to win (the New York Yankees). Interesting show, blazing extended version of "Nationwide" with some masterful lead guitar jamming. Billy announces their "brand new cd" called "Rhythmeen". Billy states that the guitar he uses during "Just Got Paid" was purchased at a place just down the street called "Mojo Guitar" and he thanks someone named "Chris". During the end of the Encore break a fan hands Billy a large photo and Billy says "thats me 10 years ago" and he hands it back. Extended version of "She's Just Killing Me" with extra lyrics. This is a fun show to watch.
1) Got Me Under Pressure
19) She's Just Killing Me (extended with wolf howls and extra lyrics like "Suck my blood!")
22) Jailhouse Rock
This is B / B+ / A- quality and has been remastered in Europe. Not a bad show to listen to and a nice performance.
1) Got Me Under Pressure
A- quality. Not a bad recording. Nice bass. Still in the form of single long tracks per disk and should be split up properly. This sounds like a venue designed for music as they sound really nice. A somewhat odd and longer setlist than for the average concert at the time. Extra lyrics (and profanity) in "I Walked From Dallas". Cool version. Very enjoyable show to listen to. Rhythmeen had just been released on 9/17/1996 and they seemed to enjoy playing new stuff off of it. A very low down bluesy performance.
1) Got Me Under Pressure
19) She's Just Killing Me
Quality A-. Recorded from the audience with a digital camcorder. Great performance and enjoyable to watch. Conversion to digital DVD for long term preservation was done by using a Dazzle 150 USB 2.0 Digital Video Encoder (DVE) with real DVD encoding chip, and an external USB 2.0 TDK DVD-R+R using Moviestar V5.0 & Roxio DVD Builder. Very nice extended version of "Vincent Price Blues" with extra verses and lyrics.
1) Got Me Under Pressure
18) She's Just Killing Me (extended with wolf howls & extra verses ; "suck our blood" like "surfs up")
21) Tube Steak Boogie
A+ Quality. This is one of the nicest fan tapings of 1996, very clear clean sound, full bass, just very nice. This is an excellent and very fun concert to listen to. Billy announces Rythmeen as their new album. Billy also mentions how in Jesus Just Left Chicago (which they did not play) he (Jesus) was always headed down to New Orleans, and how everything is always headed down towards New Orleans. And that Jesus is still in New Orleans. Very interesting concert to listen to. I would have to say that this is one of the TOP 10 Best ZZ Live Recordings. Billy Gibbons is very vocal and this concert kicks ass! Thanks again Brian!

1) Got Me Under Pressure
Finally, a -GREAT- recording from 1997! This is a very nice show. Crisp and clear audience recording, ZZ sounds great here. This is one of the best shows and best recordings of 1997.
1) Got Me Under Pressure
Great show. This was recorded with a Sony video camera from the audience. This is an awesome blazing performance! This has an extremely long break before the encore, almost 8 minutes. The crowd was going crazy!
1) Got Me Under Pressure
Quality A! And here we go, another -GREAT- recording from 1997! This is a very nice show. Crisp and clear audience capture, ZZ sounds super. They are playing a little slow and relaxed. Very cool. This is one of the best shows and best recordings of 1997.
1) Crowd Noise
Quality on this is about a C+ / B- It sounds good some of the time, but it sounds like it was recorded on a tape cassette devoid of bass most of the time. It's pretty clear, there just isn't any bass. Could be remastered perhaps. This sounds like it was a killer concert and it is a damn shame that the recording was not on better equipment.
1) Intro
Quality on this is about a B-
1) Got Me Under Pressure
1) Thunderbird
8) Brown Sugar Encore
16) Sharp Dressed Man Second Encore
18) Tube Steak Boogie
1) Thunderbird Encore
15) Tube Snake Boogie
1) Got Me Under Pressure
14) Tube Steak Boogie
Quality B. While this is not one of the best quality recordings it's still an interesting show to listen to. It sounds like it's in a somewhat huge arena which could contribute to the slightly poor quality recording. It sounds like whoever recorded it was in an upper level quite a good way from the stage. There are a few flaws as the person's cd player/recorder skipped a few times, but hey, at least someone saved this show and it is fun to listen to. What is amazing is the sound of the crowd. I mean. This sounds like a damn Super Bowl crowd or something! This is one of the largest and most excited crowds to be found on a ZZ live audience recording. The sound reminds me of what it was like hearing ZZ Top in the Houston Astrodome. I suspect the Hampton Coliseum must be as large or larger than the Astrodome. This may have been an open air concert as well.
Ross Mitchell Intro
14) Tube Snake Boogie
Quality A-
Ross Mitchell Intro
14) Tube Snake Boogie
Quality A
Very top notch recording and performance. A+! This is one of the finest audience recordings of the entire XXX tour.
Ross Mitchell Intro
11) Gimme All Your Lovin'
14) Tube Steak Boogie
Quality A. Very nice recording and performance. Very enjoyable to listen to.
Ross Mitchell Intro
14) Tube Snake Boogie
Quality A. Very nice recording. And a very unusual start. Right after the Ross Mitchell intro the band started out almost as if they were confused at to what they were going to play, and ended up playing Waitin' For The Bus as the show opener, with a different type of beginning. It's as if they were going to play Got Me Under Pressure which would have been normal for the setlist at the time, but they skipped it.

Quality A-. Very nice recording and performance. This was recorded from the audience with a Sony video camera on a tripod. Yeah go figure, how did someone manage to do that? They did a great job of it that's for sure! This is the second full length audience shot video at The Mark Of The Quad Cities in Moline, with the other being 8-18-1997. Billy & Dusty play on moving sidewalks during Pincushion.
Ross Mitchell Intro
14) Tube Steak Boogie
Quality A. Very nice recording and performance. ZZ Sounds real nice at this show and it was recorded with a high quality digital audio deck and excellent mics. Lotsa Bass! This is a fantastic performance!
Ross Mitchell Intro
14) Tube Snake Boogie
Quality A. Very nice recording and performance. Audience taper had the bass just a little too hot but that can be corrected with a remaster. Another fine show from 1999!
Ross Mitchell Intro
6) Fearless Boogie (Smokin')
14) Tube Steak Boogie
Quality A - This is a fantastic recording and performance! This was obviously recorded with a high end digital audio deck from in the audience with high quality binaural microphones, likely tiny stealth mics by Core Sound. This is pretty darn close to being there at the show yourself! It sounds like whoever recorded it was on the 1st elevated level by a speaker, as the sound recording is excellent. You can hear a level of the crowd below you, yet no crowd noise ever overpowers. It's pretty awesome! Billy is fairly vocal with the crowd at this show and makes some interesting comments about their album "Triple X". This is -very- enjoyable to listen to! This one is a -must have- for any complete ZZ Live collection. :)
1) Got Me Under Pressure (With Synthisizer - Sounds Unique!)
14) Tube Steak Boogie (Live version of "Tube Snake Boogie")
This show opens with an unusual variation of the Ross Mitchell introduction unlike any I have ever heard before. I call it the "Hillbilly Intro" for lack of a better description. Ross Mitchell says "Ladies & Gentlemen" and stops, then some Hillbilly sounding dude repeats "Ladies & Gentlemen".. and so on. The Hillbilly dude sounds pretty drunk in fact and I wonder who in the world it was. It's pretty funny and he repeats everything in the Ross Mitchell intro, obviously from on the stage. This is a great performance. The recording is not terribly bad. It's a little low but it's most certainly well worth listening to.
Update: The HillBilly mystery has been solved. Thanks Paul! E-Mail from ZZ Fan Paul: "I noticed you have the November 10th 1999 Little Rock
Arkansas show on your website. The Hill Billy you hear doing the intro along
with the Mitchell intro was Billy Bob Thornton dressed as his sling blade
Carl character. If you haven't seen the movie Sling Blade you won't get it
) Billy Bob is from Little Rock or parts close by and he and Dusty are
good friends. I was at the show and it was different for sure."
1) Got Me Under Pressure
Billy Bob Thornton introduces the band. Nice enjoyable show, good quality audience recording.
1) Got Me Under Pressure
While the first half of this show is listenable, the second half is very poor. It is complete, however whoever recorded it had what sounds like a major failure of a cd drive. This sounds as if it were recorded on a miniCD player/recorder, which skips due to a dirty head or something. It's gets so bad during the second half of the show that it's not worth listening to. It is included in this library for completeness only. If you have a better version please let me know.
1) Got Me Under Pressure
This is an above average quality recording for 1999. Very nice. This is one of the best audience recordings of 1999. This is a top notch performance by ZZ Top. They were really into performing that night and you can hear it.
1) Got Me Under Pressure (Unusual extended version - Awesome!)
10) Just Got Paid
1) Got Me Under Pressure
This is a very nice performance. A very interesting extended version of "Bang Bang" where Billy get's pretty downright crazy with the lead guitar. A very unique performance. This was also filmed live from the audience and I have it on VHS and DVD as well.
1) Got Me Under Pressure
This is a fairly nice quality recording, however someone created the CD's as one long track each. Someone needs to split this show up with track breaks so it can be listening to by selecting any song. It's still fun to listen to like it is and it sound like the crowd had a good time in there that night! After "Jesus Just Left Chicago" there was a significant break where Billy talks to the crowd a lot! He talks about how it's great to be back in Texas and "This is where it all started right heah!". Billy introduces his hat and called it his "African Sombrero" and says more than once that he got it for just $10. Very interesting show to listen to.
1) Got Me Under Pressure
Not a bad recording for one of the last shows of 1999. ZZ played the next night (12/31/1999) in Houston at the Compaq Center New Years Party. That show is *WANTED*!

No encoreJUNE 12th, 1993 ~ ZZ TOP LIVE IN MILWAUKEE WISCONSIN ~ MARCUS AMPHITHEATRE
This is the only full concert that ZZ Top performed live in 1993. Fortunately it is a very good quality recording. Some have said it's a soundboard recording. I think it's just very good quality digital audio. I believe this concert contains 3 songs never otherwise performed live; Gun Love, Blue Monday, and The Beverly Hillbillies TV Theme Song. Quality is A - / A+. This is one of the TOP 10 BEST ZZ Live audience recorded shows!

MAY 25th, 1994 - ZZ TOP LIVE IN BINGHAMTON NEW YORK AT THE BROOME COUNTY ARENA
A quality. This is a quite enjoyable recording of this 1994 show. The main highlight of this show is the rarely heard live performance of "Cover Your Rig". This may be the only live performance of that song ever. It's a lively low down blues song with a lotta great guitar jams that keep building. Overall it's a very nice performance. This is one of the best audience recorded shows of 1994 both in quality of fan recording and ZZ Top's performance and sound. Something a little humorous about this recording is that whoever taped it, during a break between songs yelled to his friend that "Dude you should have been here, you missed out!". Haha! This was obviously a killer show to attend. Sounds like someone did miss out but at least someone saved this one. Every show deserves a future hear!

JULY 6th, 1994 - ZZ TOP LIVE IN WELS AUSTRIA
A- quality. This is a rare recording from Wels Austria. Not at all bad for 1994. Someone in the audience in Austria did a fine job of recording this. I almost called this a B+, but it's more like an A--. It is the only known ZZ Live recording from this European country. Sounds like it was in a sports arena, it's definitely an indoor venue. Crowd is extremely into the concert always clapping and singing along, and it's not just local to the recorder, it's the whole crowd. At one point it sounds like thousands of people are chirp like whistling along with the beat like crickets. I've never heard a crowd do anything like that before, and I think this is the 180th zz live audience recording I have listened to. Extremely cool and very strange! Still as one long single track per cd as off original tape, could be split up into cd tracks. Listen to loud with some smoke and bbq.

AUGUST 26th, 1994 - ZZ TOP LIVE IN SAN JOSE CALIFORNIA
A+ Quality - Quite high quality audience recording for 1994. Very clear guitars and vocals. This recording is extremely rare and just surfaced in 2003. The quality is amazing! Billy is quite vocal in between songs and pumps up Antenna. This is a great show to sit back and listen to. If you can't decide, I suggest this one. This one is just plain kick ass! It's from original tape.... Hello?

SEPTEMBER 22nd, 1994 - ZZ TOP LIVE PEORIA ILLINOIS
C quality. Yes, someone captured this from the audience as well with a hand-held camcorder. The sound really sucks on this one. The show is introduced with an extremely profane diatribe by Pauly Shore, who seemed to think that he and his excessive profanity were cool. What a dick! Anyway, Pauly was shooting footage for some movie and danced around all over the stage during World Of Swirl. The sound tends to improve over time and the show is very interesting to watch due to all of the stage effects.

A- recording. It's an A+ performance! This show is recorded on CD as single long tracks one per CD. Someone should split it up to allow easy selection of each song. Billy makes some very unique and personal comments about Scott Patterson and a lot of other people in Memphis. Billy says that "being in Memphis has a way of feeling at home." For the real true to heart ZZ fan/addict, the version of "Breakaway" played here in Memphis is so low down and sweet that it's a goosebumps guaranteed one! I do not believe any other archived live performance exists that has this kind of treatment of "Breakway". If this one had been just a little bit better in recording quality it would more than likely be more common. Yet this is actually a very hard show to locate. Billy says a lot of stuff in between the songs and this one is a must hear! Major THANKS to "Jim" for this one. It's a Gem Jim!

NOVEMBER 24th, 1994 ~ ZZ TOP LIVE IN MILANO ITALY AT THE PALATRUSSARDI (ANTENNA TOUR)
A-/A Quality - A little muted at first, but it gets good. Very nice performance. I would have to call this performance a nice "tight" one. It's sound has a good feel and ZZ seems to be overall very well on with this one, as well as very relaxed and extremely creative. There are some interesting variations and some prime good examples of what ZZ was playing live in Europe in '94 and how they were playing it. This is an enjoyable show to listen to. What is funny is how anal Billy is being with his attention to perfectly clear English with his comments in between songs. Billy was obviously trying to be as perfectly slow, clear and as precise as possible so that the Italians would be able to understand him. This "attitude" if you wish does most certainly bleed into his vocal performance at this show. It's very clear and concise. And it's really nice. I have listened to this show 4 times in a row today. I'll bet ya can't just listen to it once! Just as a closing thought, ZZ treated this show with an unusualy long full setlist with unique and extended versions in abundance! This is awesome.

(Dusty's vocals are considerably off key - sounds pretty funky in a not so good way. Billy trys to compensate to the different off-key Dusty vocals with the lead guitar and ends up putting this song to rest in a pretty way. I think it's a real safe bet that this song has never been done live quite like this except here. It's a nice 4+ minute long extended version)
19) Legs (Very interesting version quite well done! Well. Alright, this is beautiful! Nice long extended legs...)
Encore: (You can hear Italian fans talking (in Italian), and the crowd ends up chanting "Z Z Top" in English of course and the accents of this chant are very appealing. The crowd itself sounds great and they get their Encore demand! They obviously had a good time over there that night. Even during the Encores this crowd is incredible to listen to. They sing along and chant a good deal.

A German fan did a fine job of saving this show from the audience back in 1994! Sounds like a huge crowd, very tight performance, and a remarkably unique extended just blazing version of "Breakaway".

Something went wrong between these two songs and it took a few minutes to get to the next song. Billy said "It's allright, we're gonna be here all night long." and then he played a short little guitar solo during the pause. Someone who was stationed in Germany E-Mailed me and according to him and several people who attended this show, Billy kinda got his beard tangled up in the guitar strings a little bit which explains the delay.

This was recorded from the audience and it's a nice one.

You can tell that whoever recorded it did adjust the input levels or "volume" if you wish, and it's a good thing that they were keeping and eye on that or the whole concert could have been recorded too low, as in the first few seconds of "Got Me Under Pressure". This was obviously recorded with a digital audio device with better than average mics for the time. Overall it's a very nice recording and a top notch performance as well. This is a must have and very enjoyable to listen to.

Band takes a break and Billy talks a lot of stuff, like "Yeah thank you and uh huh!", "It's all tight and it's all right.", "We got famous for hats and sunglasses, yeah..", "Now this is a hat, I love my hat...", "I see Pete Sheporez and all of his hot rodding buddies out here tonight..", "...he helps us with all these purty little red cars and he taught us how to do this stuff perfect. How to get the bodywork perfect, how to get your steps perfect, get all the, all the chops perfect. Everythings perfect, and a dragonfly gets in Dusty's beard!" "But that's allright, we make it up as we go along."
5) Brown Sugar
(Billy exclaims "We gonna have a good puh, puh, puh, puh, party on the patio!)
Now get this. Billy says, and I quote this "Dusty felt like partyin' uh huh! Robert Rodriguiz our buddy's here tonight so we are gonna get funky, play that low down scary, wicked, vicious nasty , funky movie soundtrack, crazy Vincent Price Blues. Get down with it!"
(Editors Note : Totally Excellent, but ouch; Person recording had to change tapes or CD so lost the end of this song while ZZ was jamming just prime. But that small fault doesn't really matter considering the overall thing! :)
8) Heard It On The X
(Billy talks to the crowd about getting on your "Rhythmeen Thang...")
10) Bang Bang
Billy introduces Elwood with "Come on out here Elwood Francis, yeah. One time. Ladies and Gentlemen, uhm, the the sharpest dressed guitar man in the building Mr. Elwood Francis here. And yeah, that man needs a hairdresser. That man is ugly! Oh yeah! It's about that time to go down into the bottom of your pocket, the bottom of your purse, gotta hide them eyes and put on them Cheap Sunglasses!")

JULY 13th, 1997 ~ ZZ TOP LIVE IN WANTAUGH NEW YORK AT JONES BEACH - MEAN RHYTHM US TOUR (WIRED AS HELL)
Quality B-. While it was great that so many 1997 concerts were preserved by fans, the recordings in 1997 seemed to be plagued. This is not a great recording, and to make it worse, someone recorded this disk in Track At Once so there are 2 second gaps between the songs. This is an outdoor concert on the beach. ZZ put on a really good show and this recording should be remastered.

This sounds like it was a killer concert and it's a shame the recording was not better. This recording sucks big time. Sounds like it was done on a tape cassette in the parking lot by the restrooms. It is somewhat listenable and gives (at least) a good idea of what the concert was like.

Quality A-. This was taped from the audience with a handheld digital video camera. Conversion to digital DVD for long term preservation was done by using a Dazzle 150 USB 2.0 Digital Video Encoder (DVE) with real DVD encoding chip, and an external USB 2.0 TDK DVD-R+R using Moviestar V5.0 & Roxio DVD Builder.
The video is very interesting but it's not very focused most of the time. The audio is quite decent though and it's an excellent live performance!

FEBRUARY 4th, 2000 ~ ZZ TOP LIVE IN SAVANNAH GEORGIA AT THE SAVANNAH CIVIC CENTER
A Quality - A very rare recording only a few months before the rest of the tour was cancelled due to Dusty's illness. It's a very nice performance and a top notch audience recording. Billy's vocals sound particularly good here as if he was really havin' a good time in there that night. Billy talks a lot in between songs and at one point mentions that they had a new song out called 36-22-36 but they do not play it. When picking up a pair of panties off the stage he said that "if you cut these in half you would still have more than twice enough". Billy, Dusty & Frank were all three obviously into this show and it's one of the best performances I have ever listened to. There are some outstanding unique lead guitar variations. This is a TOP 10 BEST! Just as another note, normally when I review a show I just listen to it once. This one was so good I listened to the entire show twice in a row. I suggest this show for -any- ZZ Top fan, it's killer.
