ZZ Top- LUCKY THIRTEEN- CD- 2013- Smokin’ Production- 823564632728- 400 grn
This epic live radio broadcast captures ZZ Top at the very cusp of their worldwide success, recorded during the East coast leg of their 1980 breakthrough tour at the Capitol Theater in Passaic, New Jersey. The band also made a high-profile foray into Europe at this time; their performance on German TV's Rockpalast being something of a landmark in the band's long history. Prior to the formation of the mighty ZZ Top, guitarist, vocalist and songwriter Billy Gibbons had already served his rock'n'roll apprenticeship as front man for the legendary Texan psychedelic garage band, The Moving Sidewalks, during the late 1960's. Their classic single 99th Floor topped the local Austin charts for six weeks in 1967 and the band toured as support to both the Doors and Jimi Hendrix the following year. By 1969, the Sidewalk's day was done and Gibbons formed ZZ Top in Houston. Within a year, after recording just one single (Salt Lick b/w Miller's Farm, 1969) the other original members were replaced by bassist Dusty Hill and drummer Frank Beard. This trio have remained inviolate ever since. Now, after more than 40 years together, it is almost impossible to find another band with such a perfectly consistent line-up! Earlier inspirational hard rocking power trios like Taste, Cream and the Jimi Hendrix Experience have come, and indeed gone, but ZZ Top motor on, rolling relentlessly across the years. The group's first two albums ('ZZ Top's First Album' and 'Rio Grande Mud') laid down the blueprint for the earthy Blues-based ZZ Top sound, but it was with 1973's 'Tres Hombres' that ZZ Top really began to make their mark. The record was a Top 10 hit and peaked at number 8 on the Billboard 200. Great live versions of that album s double-barreled opening salvo, Waitin' For The Bus and Jesus Just Left Chicago are included here. 1975's Fandango was an unusual album as - in its original vinyl configuration - it featured one live and one studio side. The live Jailhouse Rock is reprieved here, together with the infectious Tush, which became the band's first US Top 20 single. Tejas (1977) was another hugely successful album, reaching number 17 on the billboard chart; from it, the great Arrested For Driving While Blind was released as a single. At the time of this broadcast, ZZ Top's most recent album was 1979's 'Degüello' and so it's no surprise that during this dynamic show it featured heavily with live versions of no less than eight of the record's ten tracks. Included are some of the band's most iconic and best-loved songs: Cheap Sunglasses, Fool For Your Stockings, I'm Bad I'm Nationwide and She Loves My Automobile. Raunchy rhythms and gargantuan riffs welded to lyrics stacked with cars, girls and frequent innuendo proved immensely popular and the album was another major chart hit for the band. It was on ZZ Top s next album, 1981's El Loco that the group introduced synthesizers for the first time and entered what came to be known as their New Wave period. This sound was intensified on 1983's Eliminator, a record that went on to sell over 10 Million copies in the US alone and partly thanks to the heavy rotation they received on the just emerging MTV - turned them, at least for a while, into one of the world s most successful rock acts. ZZ Top released their 15th studio album, 'Futura', in 2012, their first for almost a decade. It reached a very reasonable number 6 placing on Billboard and was their first Top 10 release since 1990's Recycler. Now the story has almost come full circle. The ever enthusiastic Billy Gibbons has recently reformed the Moving Sidewalks as a side-project!
