ZZ Top: Waitin' for the Bus / Jesus Just Left Chicago (

  • I always wished that these two songs were long enough to take up the whole first side of the LP...I've re-cut the 2006 remasters here nearly that long, up to 14:27. If you want to split them, do so at 9:28.500. I tried to clean up the break there with a bit of silence, without dropping the beat.
    Technical & legal details: Audio from the remastered mp3 files, legally bought from Amazon-dot-de. Uploaded to UA-cam as non-re-compressed flac, any re-compression is from UA-cam. Editing and video compilation all done with freeware.
    Not for commercial use, nor for sale, only to use whilst working out at the gym, as the original versions of these songs were just too damn short. I hope ZZ Top and their record label don't mind...I'll gladly delete the video on their request.

    oh my god!!! I never saw Billy without his 'look', like just a regular guy as you have here. He's a good looking guy, I don't understand why he doesn't bust out from behind the 'mask' of his persona after all this time. This is in no way a criticizm of the classic ZZ look, its one of my favorites of all time. I'm 57, I'm just thinking about the fellow guitarist beneath the celebrity. It blows my mind to 'see' the face/personality that created those awesome and unique songs that I grew up with and covered in my own bands.

      Yes indeed! I had a bassist friend who didnt want to play "Jesus Just Left Chicago" because he thought the bass line was to "simple", but I urged him to try it, and he realized that it took DISCIPLINE to play it with the right timing and steadiness! It takes SKILL to be able to play like Dusty, without speeding or slowing down the song! Ditto goes for all three of them...like Ginger Baker said, "timing is a gift"!

      Hendrix loved Gibbon's guitar playing. Hendrix first heard Gibbon's play when Gibbon's was in the band "Moving Sidewalks", not in ZZ Top. Moving Sidewalks did a few opening shows for Hendrix. Hendrix's comments about Billy was from hearing him on that tour in 1967. ZZ Top formed in 1969, and the trio we know and love finally formed after Beard joined with Gibbon's, and told Billy about Dusty. The true ZZ Top started their first show in early 1970. However, Jimi died before ZZ's first album even came out. Hendrix died 9.18.1970. First ZZ album came out 1.16.1971. Hendrix did get to hear ZZ Top, but unfortunately he missed out on major body of musical work that ZZ Top created, in the studio and live.

    Funny! No one mentions The Harp! Who played it? I would guess Billy!
