Zz Top: Live At Montreux 2013 [Blu-ray] [Region A & B & C] [DVD]

Very satisfying! The only possible flaw (to an old, 58 year old ZZ fan who has seen them perhaps thirty times since seeing the Tres Hombres tour in summer '74) might be the tune selections. That is, I'm always craving the older tunes, mainly because of how those tunes were played/arranged in the days before ZZ played along with a pre-recorded tape loop, so as to fill in the studio synths, primarily. Never easy for a trio, but the boys always seems to pull its off in the old days (and various "You Tube" recordings confirm it's not just my memory tricking me - just listen to "Chevrolet" recorded in Washington DC during the WWTT in November 1976, I think!). Of course, with a record catalog as thick as ZZ has, I understand the dilemma, meaning, which tunes do we play that would have across-the-board recognition (or close to it) with the multi generational fan base?I would guess if we are lucky enough to have them performing live for a few more years, the song selection heard on "Live at Montreux" will be more-or-less the compromise best suited to keep everyone happy. Still, I would have enjoyed "Precious and Grace" (from Tres Hombres" or "Francene" (fro Rio Grande Mud") just a little more than say "Sharp Dressed Man" or "Legs". But hey, I'm whining about subjective taste here anyway. Simply put, if your a hard core ZZ fan, there is actually darn near nuthin' to complain about! The recording is "par excellence", and I encourage ZZ ites to buy it with confidence. It won't disappoint!

ZZ Top recorded live at Montreux on July the 10th 2013 is my second Blu Ray concert from this great band and would say one of their best all around performances singing & playing some of their best music from the 70's to the 80's hits with Billy Gibbons playing awesome lead guitar with Dusty Hill playing a nice Bass and Frank Beard playing great drums on 17 songs with special guest musicians Mike Flanigin Hammond B3 & Van Wilks Guitar on Kiko & I Loved The Woman .Track listing : Got Me Under Pressure - Waitin' For The Bus - Jesus Just Left Chicago - Gimmie All You Lovin' - Pincushion - I Gotsta Get Paid - Flyin' High - Kiko - I Loved The Woman - Foxey Lady - My Head's is in Mississippi - Chartreuse - Sharp Dressed Man - Legs - Tube Snake Boogie - La Grange - Tush . approx. 93 minutes with bonus feature interview with Billy Gibbons & Dusty Hill .I read ZZ Top have been invited to Montreux Jazz Festival a few times over the years and this 2013 Blu Ray concert would have be one of their best all around performances that even the founder of Montreux Claude Nobs would be impressed .

Typical ZZ performance. I've watched it twice already on the first day. The main video is about an hour and 20 minutes long of stage music and nothing else. There are a couple of interviews video extras that are under 10 minutes long. The DVD quality is fine and the video and audio are in sync. There was no in-sync movement between Gibbons and Hill, and Beard spent most of his time looking at something on the floor on his left side (a teleprompter?) but these fellows have been around since the late 1960s so I'll take any video I can get! The main bass and guitar used for most of the show show their age and have seen a lot of good times. The stage is simple as is the background video displays. You won't pay attention to them anyway, just ZZ Top. 17 songs are performed which span most of their career. Some performance modifications are thrown in to keep you on your toes. You will be happy with this DVD if you like ZZ Top.

I’m a big fan of ZZ Top and that album is ready bailable for fence of the band

The picture and audio quality are top notch in this Blu-ray. I am a big fan of ZZ Top and was so disappointed in the first Blu-ray concert "Live From Texas". The audio quality is most important to me. I have a good surround sound system which increases the difference between a well engineered sound track and a not so well engineered sound track. I have over 50 blu-ray concerts and consider the "Live From Texas" sound track the worst. It sounds like they are performing in a tunnel. Not the case with "Live at Montreux". It has become one of my favorite concerts to show off my system. It is amazing how a three piece band can have such a big sound.

Was very LOUD but loved it (you can always turn it down) & a good performance by that little ol band from well y'all know, & had good camera work over all a good performance, It's a keeper.

Great by ZZ Top. Billy Gibbons stands tall and wails on guitar with utter confidence. Dusty Hill and Frank Beard complete the trio. I still can't believe how these three musicians put out such a full sound to their music, unbelievable. Saw them play in Hartford. CT in the 1980's, the crowd in Hartford was certainly a bit more raucus and wild than the Montreax audience. Wish they played a few more of my favorites such as "Rough Boy" and "Can't Stop Rockin'" but of course newer material need to be worked into recent concerts. Put this DVD in, push Play, and get ready to rock. You can't sit still when ZZ Top is playing. Video quality is excellent.

I am the biggest ZZ fan in the world, but this one is not recommended.Why you ask?This is the first time in 45 years that Gibbons does not break out Pearly Gates (his vintage Les Paul) and play "Just Got Paid Today".I could not believe it, and still cannot believe it. When I ordered it, I assumed it was there like it always is.I have seen them at least 20 times since 72 and have every album and dvd; and to my knowledge, this is the first time they have not played "Just Got Paid Today" from their epic 1972 album: Rio Grande Mud.Instead, buy the Live from Texas DVD that came out 2 or 3 years ago. It's much better and includes the aforementioned.

superbe concert merci

Lieferung und Qualität OK

Not the best ZZ Top video but ok

Bon concert avec son et image super, un bon moment passé pour pas cher.

Uno de los últimos grandes conciertos del trio tejano antes de que Dusty Hill partiera rumbo a una mejor vida. Nada nuevo, todo temas clásicos pero indispensables.
