This song was indeed a tribute to legendary Mississippi delta blues man John Lee Hooker’s two songs ‘Boom Boom’ and ‘Boogie Chillun’ , good ear you have there as you heard John Lee Hooker playing this on the street in the Blues Brothers
The first time I ever went to Gruene Hall there was a US flag hanging from the ceiling in the center of the hall. That flag had 48 stars on it. That's how long Gruene Hall has been open and a venue for all kinds of entertainment in Texas. ❤
I've seen them 24 times. They played our Nat'l Guard Armory when I was in high school. I lived close to Nashville and saw a lot of groups before they made it big. This is my favorite of theirs
Not their best version of this classic song. To answer your question about being brothers. Only in terms. Lead singer and guitarist is Billy Gibbons ( whom Jimi Hendrix said was his favorite new guitarist) Bassist Dusty Hill and Drummer Frank Beard, who ironically had no beard.
My head's in mississippi ,another great blues song zz top
ZZ Top's "Tres Hombres" was one of the first 3 albums I bought as a teen in 1973!
Ditto brother 👍
Yeah, The Blues Brothers - John Lee Hooker doing "Boom Boom." I always think of that when I hear ZZ Top doing 'La Grange."

I picked up on this because of Gruene Hall mention. Oldest dance hall in Texas. Room for about 20 to sit, and 280 to stand.
Great show
You 2 are a blast and always make me happy to see and hear your reactions ✌️💛🤘
I trust and believe ❤️

You think it’s strange they suddenly became LEFT HANDED ?
Hey Steph and Jay! 🤙
The house was in La Grange tx, There is a movie about it. The Best Little Whore House in Texas. Stars Bert Reynolds and Dolly Pardon.
La Grange is a small town in Texas
Vodka and OJ for me, lovely family!! Thank you!
You are correct. The Haw-Haw-Haw in this song was ZZ Top's homage to the 'Hook' aka John Lee Hooker.
Yes the 2 with beards are brothers however ironically the drummers name is Frank Beard but does not have one!
You’re so right, this is John Lee Hooker with a little extra juice
Anything off of the "Fandango" album is great.
The Blues Brothers movie was released in 1983....La Grange was released in 1973
La Grange is in Texas and also ZZ band is from Texas❤
Texas Blues
Fun Fact
Billy Gibbons Guitar Longest Beard
Dusty Hill Bass Shorter Beard
Frank Beard Drums No Beard
You got to dig into their catalog it's deep
U2 a kool couple..I'd like to buy u guys a ice cold Heineken
❤
Funny thing, the Drummers last name is Beard
You've been missing out guy's, been listening and training to this for over 42 years in Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺.
😎🍻🎸
This is like 30 years after its release.
Guys please check XG left right official mv so good R&B pop hip hop these girls are amazing they from Japan all their songs in english
Steph should go into modeling
You should check out The Grateful Dead!
Rhe only one without a beard is drummer Frank Beard.
They're both a rock and blues band. It's not mutually exclusive.
I know Yall are busy, but You should do Enter Sandman Metallica in Moscow 1991, it's an eye opener 1.6 million people in attendance
You should watch slipknot eyeless music video
Cool, but the version on the record is more hard rocking and intense.
Indeed
not brothers and oddly Frank Beard was one without a beard
U rt Steph
Ironically ..The drummers last name is Beard...And he don't have one
Cool, but early. Do it.
Strange filming because both of them boys played right-handed just saying

Do yourselves a favor, always listen to the original first.
They stole the beat and How,how,s from John Lee hooker, Yeah! He's the guy in "Blues Brothers!" ZZ Top' still my favorite Rock n' Blues Band!
tight like the women ?
Yes an homage to John Lee- love this live version
NO ENERGY...Thumps down for ZZ Top
