ZZ Top

In 2010, ZZ Top was riding high on a wave of renewed popularity, having released their earlier album, "Recycler," in 1990 and followed it up with a mix of live performances and compilation releases, including 2003's "The ZZ Top Sixpack." The live recording from Crocus City Hall in Moscow showcases not just their musical prowess but also their ability to captivate audiences worldwide, even in a country where rock music could be considered an exciting novelty. By this point in their career, Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill, and Frank Beard had crafted a unique sound blending rock, blues, and a bit of that signature Texas flair, making moments like these memorable. They had already built a reputation for their electrifying live shows, and this performance undoubtedly contributed to solidifying their legacy as rock legends. Who wouldn't be swayed by that familiar blend of gritty guitar riffs and smooth harmonies?
