ZZ Top - "She's Just Killing Me" & "Vincent Price Blues"


This is a live performance by Texan blues rock band ZZ top. They play the songs "She's Just Killing Me" and "Vincent Price Blues" live. The performance is from a French TV-show from 1996.
Both of the songs that they play are from the band's 12th studio album "Rhythmeen" released in 1996. "She's Just Killing Me" is an up tempo rock 'n' roll bluesy song and it also appeared on the soundtrack to the Robert Rodriguez film "From Dusk till Dawn" which primarily consisted of Texas blues artists such as Stevie Ray Vaugha, Jimmie Vaughan, and ZZ Top, of course.
"Vincent Price Blues" is much slower and a nice change of paste in the mini performance ZZ Top delivers.
Both songs were written by: Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill, and Frank Beard.
Both songs are good songs, and performed like only ZZ Top can!

Enjoy ; )

ZZ Top - What's Up with That


This is a live performance by Texan blues rock band ZZ Top performing the song "What's Up with That" live on Jools Holland in 1996. He also gives the band a fitting introduction as a rock 'n' roll band and protectors of rock 'n' roll which I can only agree with him on. On this performance they're joined by a choir and James Harman plays the blues harp on this number. Also I love how Holland actually introduces and mentions him. He's a musician himself and you always feel that in his hosting, you feel his genuine respect for his fellow musicians.
The song is off ZZ Top's 1996 album "Rhythmeen", so I assume they're doing a promotion tour or something on this performance.
Any ways a great song and a great little performance.

Enjoy ; )

ZZ Top - Bang Bang


(The resolution isn't very good, so it's the small size player)
This is a live performance by blues, rock and hard rock band ZZ Top. They perform the song "Bang Bang" from their 12th studio album Rhythmeen released in 1996. It's a great little song that does what ZZ Top does best, produce good, funky, bluesy and fun songs.
On this album they sort of went back to a more rock/bluesy sound. In the 80's they had experimented with synthesizers and electronic drum beats. A sound that gave the great air-play and success, but didn't sound like their earlier work.
The album got mixed reviews, but I think that it's a top notch album, prima quality, and just what you'd expect from ZZ Top. If you're a fan, it's a must-have in your collection, definitely.
They do a great performance with a nice set of bongos accompanying Frank Beard on the drums which gives the song a very good rhythm and groove.
A great song, and a great performance.

Enjoy ; )
