ZZ Top - 'La Grange' (From 'Double Down Live - 1980')

Rumour spreadin' a-'round in that Texas town
'bout that shack outside La Grange
and you know what I'm talkin' about.
Just let me know if you wanna go
to that home out on the range.
They gotta lotta nice girls.

Have mercy.
A haw, haw, haw, haw, a haw.
A haw, haw, haw.

Well, I hear it's fine if you got the time
and the ten to get yourself in.
A hmm, hmm.
And I hear it's tight most ev'ry night,
but now I might be mistaken.
hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm.

Have mercy.

Το καλοκαίρι του 1973 κυκλοφορούσε ο τρίτος δίσκος των υπό τον τίτλο "Tres Hombres". Το έδαφος προετοίμαζε το single "La Grange" που είχε κυκλοφορήσει νωρίτερα (με το μουσικό κομμάτι "Just Got Paid" στην δεύτερη πλευρά του βινυλίου).

Η "ζωντανή" απόδοση του εν λόγω τραγουδιού, που σας παρουσιάζουμε σήμερα σε βίντεο, προέρχεται από συναυλία της Τεξανικής μπάντας το 1980. Το βρίσκουμε στο live album / video "Double Down Live" που "βγήκε" τον Οκτώβριο του 2009.

Δελτίο τύπου: «Double Down Live is a 2 DVD set from ZZ Top combining shows from 1980 and 2008. Disc one was filmed at the Grugahalle in Essen, Germany for the Rockpalast TV series.

Hot on the heels of their classic Deguello album (it features 9 of the 10 songs from it) the show finds ZZ Top before sequencers and synthesizers epitomising their lil ol blues band from Texas nickname.

Complimented by tracks drawn predominantly from their Tres Hombres and Fandango! albums this is a true best of ZZ Top in the seventies.

Disc Two was shot during their European tour in 2008 and combines great live performances, interview clips and back stage footage to create the ultimate ZZ Top on the road movie.

With nearly 30 years between the performances the two disc set gives a fascinating then and now insight into what has maintained the ZZ Top live phenomenon.»
