ZZ Top Live Performance of La Grange and Tush in Houston

Venue: The Summit Location: Houston, Texas, United States Date: October 9, 1983

In October 1983, ZZ Top was riding high on the success of their album 'Eliminator,' which had been released just a few months earlier in March of the same year. This album marked a significant milestone in their career, blending their classic rock sound with a touch of synthesizer and pop elements that attracted a broader audience. The 'Eliminator Tour' was a spectacular showcase of their growing fame, featuring hits like 'La Grange' and 'Tush,' both of which are performed in the live video from The Summit in Houston. Interesting tidbit: the iconic bearded trio became known not only for their music but also for their distinct visual style, which included flashy cars and that unforgettable 'little ol’ band from Texas' persona. This thoughtful blend of music and image contributed to their massive success during the '80s, with 'Eliminator' becoming one of their most celebrated works.
