ZZ Top

In 2015, ZZ Top was riding high on a wave of sustained success and iconic status. Just before this live recording at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion, they had released their album 'La Futura' in 2012, which marked a significant comeback after a long hiatus. This record emphasized their blues-rock roots while showcasing a modern sound produced by the legendary Rick Rubin. The performance of 'Sixteen Tons' alongside rock guitar virtuoso Jeff Beck was a thrilling highlight, blending ZZ Top's signature sound with Beck's distinctive flair. This collaboration speaks volumes about the band's respect within the rock community and adds an electric element to the concert. Such moments in live settings highlight not just their musical prowess but also their enduring legacy in rock music.
