A compendium of the entire ZZ career, Live From Texas features 15 of the band's most beloved tracks�including "Tush," "La Grange" and "Legs"�as recorded last year deep in the heart of Texas. (Fans can expect the DVD and CD packaged exclusively together November 4.)
Singer/guitarist/frontman Billy F Gibbons, bassist Dusty Hill and drummer Frank Beard make up one of the most instantly recognizable bands in rock history. From their 1969 Houston inception to their first million-seller (1973's Tres Hombres) to today, they are the only major band in history to never have had a personnel change in almost a 40-year history. Known for their self-designed custom guitars and their love of rural and urban American blues music and early rock'n'roll, they're also primarily known as one of the greatest American live bands of all-time.
Inducted into The Rock'n'Roll Hall Of Fame in 2004, their no-frills blues'n'boogie, filled with humorously sexual double-entendres, took a turn towards mass appeal in 1981 when�after 12 years of adamantly refusing�they finally used a synthesizer on El Loco. But it wasn't until 1983's 10-times-platinum Eliminator�with "Legs," "Gimme All Your Lovin'" and "Sharp Dressed Man"�that they skyrocketed into superstardom. The album just happened to coincide with the rise of MTV and the use of the music video as a powerful tool in the industry. Their image has since been an indelible part of popular culture. And they still rock just as hard as ever, moogs or no moogs.
