ZZ Top performs Jailhouse Rock live in Gilford, USA

Location: Gilford, NH, USA Date: November 30, 2004

By late 2004, ZZ Top was riding the wave of their comeback with the album "Recycler," released in 1990, which showcased their signature blend of rock and blues. However, it was their 1996 album "Rhythmeen" that marked a significant era, revealing their ability to evolve while staying true to their roots. The live recording of "Jailhouse Rock" in Gilford, NH, captures not just the raw energy of the band but also hints at their performance style that combines entertainment with musicianship. Interestingly, ZZ Top is known for their iconic beards and sunglasses, which have become synonymous with their image. This performance was part of their tour supporting the album "Mescalero," illustrating their sustained popularity and commitment to live music, well into their third decade as a band. As always, Billy Gibbons' guitar work and the rhythm from Dusty Hill and Frank Beard deliver a quintessential ZZ Top experience that fans adore.
