ZZ Top Live Performance of Just Got Paid at U.S. Cellular Pavilion
In November 2006, ZZ Top delivered a dynamic live performance at the U.S. Cellular Pavilion in Gilford, New Hampshire, with their iconic track "Just Got Paid" showcasing the band's distinctive blues-rock style. Just before this gig, they released the album 'Recycler' in 1990, which tried to strike a balance between their 80s commercial success and a return to their blues roots. This live recording captures them at a time when they were experiencing a resurgence in popularity, blending classic hits with more recent material. What’s noteworthy is that the band, known for their iconic beards and deep Texas roots, has maintained their original lineup since their formation in 1969, which is a rarity in the industry. Their commitment to authentic sound and showmanship made for an energetic evening, as evidenced by the raw, unedited atmosphere of the filming, reflecting their enduring appeal and live performance prowess.
