So, October 20th is right around the corner. It should prove to be a highly exciting and fulfilling day.
For those that haven't yet make sure to visit YouTube and type Double Down Live - ZZ Top in the search bar. Songs from both the 1980 Rockaplast and 2008 European Tour are available in full.
Many fans, including myself, have wondered why some of the bands early 1980's TV performances have not been released officially. These were great shows, ranging from a few songs to complete concerts, and were professionally filmed. Thankfully ZZ's new management has taken a look at the band's back catalogue and realized there are some gems. I recognize this is an opportunity for the band, and their label Sanctuary, to make a quick and (if sales are good) sizable profit, with little incurred cost. But it also gives fans an opportunity to enjoy the Top in their prime, as well as the current and still exciting incarnation. And the quality of video and sound DDL promises to bring should bring a smile to anyone's face.
Make sure to support this release. There will be opportunities to obtain this through illegal means, but cannibalizing the sales could result in the band being less inclined to continue these types of projects.
