Interestingly, 'Mescalero' marked a return to the studio for ZZ Top after a lengthy hiatus, and it was well-received for its authenticity and groove. At this live show, the trio demonstrated not just their musical prowess but also their enduring charisma, captivating fans with their iconic beards and bluesy riffs—a true testament to their longevity in the rock scene. By 2005, ZZ Top had firmly established themselves as not just rock legends but cultural icons, continuing to engage audiences with both new material and beloved classics.
