With the sudden passing of Dusty Hill, ZZ TOP's steady trio finally fell apart. The best masterpiece video that you want to enjoy now is here. The masterpiece was photographed on April 19, 1980 in Essen. Yes, this is a multi-camera professional shot taken when he appeared on West Germany's famous program "ROCKPALAST". At that time, they came back from a hiatus and transferred to Warner Brothers with ``DEGUELLO'', which was a huge hit. First, let's look back at the overall picture of the "EXPECT NO QUARTER Tour" that opened the door to the heyday. 1979, July 29: ALBERTA JAM appearance [“DEGUELLO” released in November], November 20-December 31: North America #1a (24 performances) 1980, January 4-April 15: North America #1b (46 performances) April 19th - 25th: Europe (5 performances) ←★Here★ May 1st - 30th: North America #2 (31 performances) July 5th - September 24th Sunday: North America #3 (17 performances) October 29th - December 31st: North America #4a (16 performances) January 2nd - 22nd, 1981: North America #4b (5 performances) "EL LOCO" Production》This is an overview of the activities related to the revival work “DEGUELLO”. In 1981, they not only released the above album, but also released their next album ``EL LOCO'' in July and continued their world tour. Almost only in North America and only 5 performances in Europe as a showcase. The appearance of “ROCKPALAST” in this work was the stage at the beginning. This work recorded at such a show is a classic among the classics and is super superb. It is truly a completely official grade...or should I say, it is a professional shot that has actually been made official as "DOUBLE DOWN LIVE: 1980 & 2008". Although this work is the highest peak master of such a classic, it is not a copy of the official product. It is actually a rebroadcast version of the original Western German Radio (WDR). If the broadcast is digital, the recording is also digital, and the station master is converted to DVD without deterioration. It's hard to say whether it's better than the official version, but it's not inferior at all. He is a super master. The beautiful visuals depict the brutal boogie heaven of ZZ TOP, who set out to conquer the world at the dawn of a new 1980s. Let's organize the set here. London Records era (12 songs) Rio Grande Mad: Just Got Paid Tres Hombres: Waitin' for the Bus/Jesus Just Left Chicago/Precious and Grace/Beer Drinkers & Hell Raisers/La Grange Fandango! :Heard It on the X/ Nasty Dogs & Funky Kings/Tush・Tejas: El Diablo/Arrested for Driving While Blind・Others: Jailhouse Rock (Elvis Presley) Warner Brothers era (10 songs)・Elegy for Massacre: I Thank You／I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide／Manic Mechanic／Lowdown In The Street／A Fool for Your Stockings／Cheap Sunglasses／She Loves My Automobile／Hi Fi Mama／Dust My Broom El Loco: Tube Snake Boogie... ...and it looks like this. The best set that combines a parade of famous songs that can be said to be the sum total of the London Records era with a rush of new songs from "DEGUELLO". The precious "Lowdown In The Street" and "El Diablo" and "Hi Fi Mama", which were last released in 1980, are also delicious. In addition, "Tube Snake Boogie" from the next work "EL LOCO" has already been performed, and it is said that this day was the world premiere. If the set is core, the performance that spells it out is also extremely hot. The dripping mellow blues builds up to a fever pitch, and the sharpness and energy of the heavy boogie is enough to blow away even the up-and-coming AC/DC. They play deep southern rock that you wouldn't expect to dabble in synth pop a few years later. In the history of rock, there is a thing called ``this is the ultimate.'' A masterpiece among masterpieces that records the band's peak, and sometimes even the band's presence becomes huge. This work can be called the ZZ TOP version of that. Of course, it's on a different level from the later blockbuster era, but that's why it's so good. That's why it's amazing. In 1980, ZZ TOP embodies the charm of the Fudo trio, with "rock" erupting from the pores of their bodies. The best multi-camera pro shot of "April 19, 1980 ROCKPALAST". This is a classic among classics that has even been made into an official DVD, but this work is a rebroadcast version of the original Western German Radio (WDR). If the broadcast is digital, the recording is also digital, and it is a super quality product that has been converted to DVD without deterioration from the master stored at the station. If the best set that combines a rush of new songs from "DEGUELLO" with a parade of masterpieces that can be said to be the sum total of the London Records era is great, the climax ensemble that hits the harsh boogie is also intense. This is one of ZZ TOP's greatest masterpieces before pop. Grugahalle, Essen, Germany 19th April 1980 PRO-SHOT 1. Intro 2. I Thank You 3. Waitin' For The Bus 4. Jesus Just Left Chicago 5.
