You're a man of taste. And that Glastonbury performance is one of the best I've seen. He pulls out the stops a bit for that one compared to some of the other live performances that are out there.

'Afterburner' is as good as 'Eliminator', just different. How can you not rate it? And 'Recycler' is just the whole schtick taken to an extreme. Which I like.
I do have all the other albums except the most recent one and I do like them, just not as much as the ones I mentioned.
I like La Futura.
Why? Just check out the sound of the guitar amps on it. Some of the best valve distortion I have ever heard recorded. Proof of just how good a great valve circuit can sound when running into extreme overload.
Someone will spoil this post by telling me it was done by other means. But I hope and believe it wasn't.
Most awesome moment? End of Chartreuse and slipping into Consumption. Play at at least 11, maybe twelve, after a few beers to see what I mean.
I am a huge ZZ Top fan! I’ve seen them in concert 6 times! And it’s always a party atmosphere, they really get the crowd going! And even though they may be perceived as a Southern Rock type band, which they really aren’t, they always had the ultimate light show, laser show, dancing girls! Awesome entertainers.
My first exposure to them was a scratchy old copy of Fandango I got from my older sister at age 14. At 16 I bought the Degualo album, and I swear it stayed on my record player for a month! I played it every day, a whole week before I flipped it over!
Since then, I’ve collected many of their albums, not all. Tajas is one of my favorites, and the last song, Asleep in the Dessert, is special to me for some reason, it’s as the name implies, a sleepy little song that is so well executed. But I can’t pick a favorite, there’s just too many great songs to choose from.
At one concert, I was just married, my wife up on my shoulders, and I saw everyone in the band look right at us with big eyes and bigger smiles! Billy stopped and pointed! I look up to see my wife showing her titties to the boys, she was always so shy, I didn’t think she had it in her. I wasn’t mad. Kind of proud in a way!

They are one of those outfits Ive never given a fair chance to. When Gimme all your lovin and legs were played to death on the radio I tended to form my judgement on those singles and never moved past that.
The may well be an album I really like...maybe.... maybe not but Ive never given them a fair trial :)

I don't have a problem with the beards, but all their music sounds the same to me. :scratch:
