ZZ Top Album: “Live In Germany 1980”

.........just got paid today and bought this little jewel. This has been out on DVD for a couple of years, but now, finally, here it is on CD. This is a fabulous live snapshot of the little ol' blooz'n'boogie band from Texas before the MTV era. It's rough and ready and bursting with vibrancy. I love the warts'n'all spontaneity of a live gig in toto, and with the lack of live material of ZZ Top in their hay day this, my friends, is a nugget from a mine yet to be, well....mined.

Simply the best concert of ZZ Top; i bought a tape-copy of the bootleg in early 80's and my car's cassette ate it after thousand of listenings. If you want to know how simple is rock'n'roll this album is a must.

I'm a guitarist, tone is very mid frequency, playing is good, production not so much.Not bad for circa 1980 I think.

Where has this stuff been hiding all these years? I've always wished for more live stuff from the boys, especially the pre-MTV material, which is my favorite. Well, here it is, covering first several albums up through Deguello. l love it!
