Double cd featuring two ZZ Top shows

First out we have a show from Jo Hall in Osaka, Japan on the 19th of February 1987, which means were far into the Afterburner World Tour that started back in 1985. During the first part of the tour the setlist were very similar to the Eliminator Tour set list but by the end of 1985 the show were turned into an Afterburner stage with the Egyptian Head, that were on the Sleeping Bag single artwork, and a lot of lazer effects. Back at that point of the tour the setlist included lots of Afterburner stuff like Delirious, Planet Of Women, Stages etc. However when the band hit Japan in 1987 the Afterburner tracks had been cut down to just 3; Sleeping Bag, Rough Boy and Cant Stop Rocking while the track Woke Up With Wood was played together in a medley with Gimme All Your Lovin. The rest of the set list is made of some Eliminator tracks and the old goodies. Overall quite an amazing set list and during a time when this band were at their peak. Eliminator moved over ten million units in the United States alone and ZZ Top themselves loved their mid 80s sound. That hugh padgham-y gated drum sound and those guitar effects. Just listen to Legs and Sharp Dressed Man at the end of the show and you have everything that ZZ Top stood for in the mid to late 80s even though its not always that this Afterburner sound filter works for the old classics. There arent much of audience noise and the recording sounds quite clear so it could be a soundboard recording like many other Japanese recordings. However the band sounds quite far away so it feels like youre listening to a mono recording. A great show and a great setlist but hopefully it will get a remastered sound sometimes in the future.

Out next comes a show from the Expect No Quarter Tour, recorded at the Capitol Theatre in New Jersey on the 4th of May 1980. The band had a two-year hiatus but were revitalized in November of 1979 and they released their platinum-selling Deguello album. It was on the Expect No Quarter tour that Billy Gibbons and Dusty Hill debuted with their chest-length beards. This album features 8 tracks from that night and the band is in a fiery form as they tear through a selection of new material and older classics. This disc also features another live version of Jailhouse Rock (a track that the band have made their own by playing it live for more than 500 times). So there is a lot to love on this double album for any ZZ Top fan
