On May 2, 2015, ZZ Top took the stage at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in The Woodlands, Texas, sharing an electrifying performance of 'Rough Boy' alongside guitar legend Jeff Beck. This was during a time when ZZ Top was enjoying a revitalization in their career after the release of their album, 'La Futura,' in 2012. With 'Rough Boy' being a classic from their 1986 album, 'Afterburner,' the live rendition showcased their signature blues-rock style. What's fascinating is that Jeff Beck, known for his innovative techniques, added a unique flair to this performance, blending his mastery with ZZ Top's gritty sound. At this point in their career, ZZ Top was not just preserving their legacy; they were also embracing collaboration, proving that even decades into their journey, they were still expanding their artistic horizons.
