Had a pretty mellow Sunday and spent the day recovering on the couch after a Big Saturday!

I came across this doumentay on ZZ Top- kinda cool and worth checking out if you like documentaries and ZZ Top! I didnt know much about this band other than some of the hits from the 80's.

Saw them live at The Love Ride in Lake Castaic years ago.
Watched it on Friday night after everyone went to bed early. Was pretty good.

Odd band. Nevertheless iconic legendary artist. Documentary was really good in my opinion. It explains a lot.

I watched it yesterday and thought it was pretty good. I would have liked to have more info on what they did after the Eliminator album, especially from the mid 90s through now.

I’ll have to check it out.

First concert I ever went to was ZZ Top Eliminator Tour stop at Alpine Valley in WI. Drove my 68 Chevelle 3 hours from home at age 17. That was my first live experience witnessing a laser show and it was awesome!

I love ZZ Top. They have a sound nobody else does. I am always surprised how humble they are. Billy Gibbons is a super nice guy from what a couple of my friends have said that hung out with him. Boy was Frank Beard quite the party or what? You can tell from his face his road was a little different than Dusty and Billy.

Will check it out, Billy Gibbons is one of those cats who's just straight-up cool.

Thanks for sharing it, every time I go on Netflix I forget about all the cool shows mentioned here. This one I'll remember.

Enjoyed ! Thanks for the recommendation. The use of cartoons and real life was unusual and cool.

The MTV part was funny when they first discovered it. Talking on the phone back and forth: “When’s this documentary end?” Lol
