ZZ Top Live Performance of Under Pressure at U.S. Cellular Pavilion

Venue: Mississippi Riverfront Location: Burlington, Iowa, United States Date: June 18, 2005

In June 2005, ZZ Top delivered an electrifying performance at the Mississippi Riverfront in Burlington, just as they were riding high on their album "Mescalero," released in 2003. This album, blending classic rock with Tex-Mex influences, showcased their continued evolution while staying true to their signature sound. "Under Pressure" captures a thrilling moment where the audience could sense the band's chemistry and legendary swagger, although they were also navigating the changing music scene of the early 2000s. Interestingly, ZZ Top's style had not only remained iconic, marked by the unmistakable beards and sunglasses, but they also embraced modern vibes during their live shows. This dynamic between their classic roots and contemporary influences made their live performances incredibly engaging, connecting with fans both old and new.
