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.
Lyrics
Rumour spreadin' 'round In that Texas town About 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 got a lot of 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 .
Have mercy
Songwriters: Billy Gibbons / Dusty Hill / Frank Beard
