I watched the ZZ Top documentary in early 2022 a day after watching the Rush doc. Definite similarities. Both power trios. Both known to be legendary live. Both have lost one of the core members.
In the doc they talked about the videos for the Eliminator album and how they got their big success because they decided to make the band a little bit magic. Well, this song has been a little bit magic for me. Because I do really do love a sharp dressed man. It was my favourite thing when I worked in the downtown core.
Certainly I find the man in this video incredibly attractive. And those dance moves at the end! IMDB says he’s Peter Tramm, who is best know for being Kevin Bacon’s dance double in Footloose, which he shot shortly after this vid. However, Peter Tramm is also credited for the previous video, Give Me All Your Lovin’, and it doesn’t look like the same guy. Maybe you can tell me if it is or not.
Here’s the trailer for the documentary. I highly recommend it.
Enjoy your song of the day!
That video really took me back! This may be my favorite ZZ Top song.
I’ve really never listened to much ZZ Top. I’m not sure they’re my thing. But I’m also not sure that they’re not my thing. Do you have any recommendations on where to start with their catalog?
