ZZ Top
ZZ Top Live Performance of La Grange from 1982
In 1982, ZZ Top was riding high on the success of their album 'Eliminator,' which had hit the shelves just a year earlier. This album catapulted the band to mainstream fame, featuring iconic tracks like 'Gimme All Your Lovin'' and 'Sharp Dressed Man.' By the time they performed 'La Grange' live at the Fayette County Fairgrounds, the band had already established their signature blend of blues rock and hard rock. Interestingly, 'La Grange' originally came out in 1973 on the 'Tres Hombres' album, showcasing ZZ Top's roots while the live performance highlighted their evolution as a band. The mix of classic and contemporary in their setlist reminds us of how their music has stood the test of time, creating an almost timeless connection with fans. Who wouldn't love the way those gritty guitar riffs just grab your soul?
