I’ve been watching Elwood since he started. I think he’s starting to come out of his shell. What a good thing to see. Thank you Dusty for the years spent, thank you Elwood for stepping up, thank you to Billy and Frank for staying. I love you guys!

Great cymbals, half a rainforest wasted on those drums..... only need a four piece kit to play ZZ top but hey...stadium rock clichés dictate spinal tap kits!

That 'Every girl's crazy 'bout the sharp dressed man'-chorus gave me the biggest smile of joy since a long time. Being bipolar, it is sometimes hard to find something to get me out of the downwards moods, but this raw rock energy is one of the things that helps bigtime. I have to confess that there is one thing I still have to get used at with Elwoods replacement: he seems to be just the same height as Billy , but apart from that, his energy and musicianship makes him a worthy new member. Keep on rolling, lads!

It's great to see that Little Old Band From Texas still cranking 'em out. Elwood is really fitting in. Love the double neck guitar. The Reverend Billy still has the smokin' licks, and Frank just keeps pounding the skins. Kudos to Valentine A...the bass response on your phone is amazing. Didn't expect that.

Sharp dressed man… absolute tune.

When was in high school I got a job in a hospital kitchen. It was 1977. I hooked up with some older guys who taught me what beer was. They also introduced me to ZZ Top. They took me to a liquor store that would cash our paychecks. You can guess what songs we listened to.

Oldies, but goldies ... I heard them in the early 2010's (sorry, I don't know the exact expression in english ...) in Paris. A disaster, I left the concert and I was not alone to do so ... This record shows some sort of a resurection of those hard rock players (I don't mean they play hard rock, but that they are hard "rock workers" indeed!); Real "suddist rock" sound, source of so much animal pleasure.

Vos guitares sont performantes, vous êtes géniaux ZZ TOP je vous aime

Oh yeah! Nothing like some ZZ.

ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons said the Texas trio feels "somewhat new as a band" with the addition of longtime guitar tech Elwood Francis, who took over for bassist Dusty Hill following his death last July.

I saw ZZ Top headline Monsters of Rock at Donington in 1985 which was when I first heard Legs and Sharp Dressed Man live. It was so sad to hear of Dusty Hill's passing that I thought they would have to retire (especially given that they're no spring chickens). Glad to see the band is still going although I think Elwood could try to fit in more with the band's established image

The bass tone is killer

absolutely love the 1 mobile camera perfectly capturing the ACTUAL , unfolding show ( no editing or mixing or overdubs or anything like it)- em, strange to see empty seats @ 7;43

Can't handle it. Billy is wild!

fucking great ...no other words....

Still going and still good. I 100% behind them still playing on. I saw ZZ Top on Eliminator Tour. I think it was 1984. Zebra opened. They blew me away. I met Dusty that night after the show. Mostly small talk but he seemed like a nice man. Saw them again around '04 or '05. Good show but much different from the '84 show.

You did a great job of recording this video that's definitely worth watching. I'm curious about how you held your iPhone so steady. Did you use a gimbal, or something along that line? I've got a ticket to ZZ Top's July 3rd concert. My seat is at the very center of the 8th row in the center section. I can't wait! Ann Wilson was supposed to be the opening act, but that was cancelled for some reason. Ticketmaster announced yesterday that Collective Soul will now be the opener for ZZ Top. Awesome!

Hey Tim, thanks for viewing and your words of appreciation! :) I've recorded it by holding iPhone in one hand leaning on the armrest and holding it with another one for further stability. Definitely not the easiest exercise haha! I also decreased & fixed exposure which helps on a bright stage like this. Have fun on your Jul 3rd concert! Live-sounding bass was remarkable to hear! You could try to replicate it by playing this video in a car with a good surround system.

@@easik Thanks. I watched your video on my TV with my Dolby surround sound system, and you're right about the remarkable sound of the bass. Your system for holding your iPhone steady worked well, for sure. Like you said, I'm sure that wasn't the easiest thing to do, but I think the excitement of being at a concert might help adrenaline to kick in and make it possible to do that longer than usual. I remember when I recorded Steven Tyler's entire concert in San Francisco in 2016 with my iPhone 6 Plus. It didn't seem too difficult at the time to hold my iPhone steady for that long, but looking back at it, I'm kind of amazed that I pulled it off, lol. The best personal moment of that concert for me, came during Steven Tyler's song "Love Is Your Name". I was standing at the far left of the front row, right next to the stage. About halfway through his performance, he grabbed his mike stand and came walking across the stage in my direction. I was stunned, but managed to keep recording when he suddenly was standing right in front of me. He continued singing as he leaned down toward me and pointed his finger at my iPhone from just a couple of inches away. For several seconds, he looked directly into my iPhone as he sang. That was an incredibly awesome moment in time that I will never forget. He totally made my day!
