Azzy, we went to see ZZ top about 20 years ago at a local arena. We had seats on the side of the stage and we were pretty close. I wore ear plugs for everything except La Grange. Ya gotta here La Grange at full volume.
About 10 years ago a friend that lives in a small town called and he wanted to see ZZ on the upcoming show. He said thay are getting old and may not be together much longer. We went to see them then.
A couple of years ago the same friend called and ZZ was coming through again. We saw them once again. Same three guys same great music.
Back in the 70s when Tres Hombres came out I bought the Quadraphonic 8 track version. I played that tape enough that the thing broke. I could not find a Quadraphonic version so I settled for a regular 8 Track. That broke. I changed to a cassette player because I hated the 8 Track because of that second self destructing La Grange tape. I bought Tres Hombres on Cassette. That broke. I finally got smart and bought the album and recorded my own cassette. Then CDs came out and I bought the CD. Of course when the ZZ Top 6 Pack came out I bought that to get all the CDs but it had La Grange as part of that collection.
I prefer the original mix of La Grange to the remastered version on the 6 Pack. I have almost 800 MB of ZZ MP3s on my phone now.
