ZZ Top: Greatest Hits - The Video Collection
They're all here! ZZ Top's greatest videos, a groundbreaking collection from the band that made chopped cars, great-looking girls, and fur-covered guitars an art form all their own. Right from the start, with "Gimme All Your Lovin'" and the rest of the Eliminator trilogy - "Sharp Dressed Man" and "Legs" - ZZ Top has pioneered the high-concept video. And they're still doing it today with "Viva Las Vegas," shot on the strip.
From the deep-space weirdness of "Rough Boy" to the chain gang blues of "My Head's in Mississippi"; from the in-concert electricity of "Stages" to the Paula Abdul-choreographed "Velcro Fly," ZZ Top has always been in video's vanguard. In fact, they performed at the first-ever MTV Awards, where the radio city music hall audience seemed to spontaneously sprout chin whiskers. Who said video fans are passive? Certainly not ZZ's!
Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill, and Frank Beard have pushed the envelope of rock's visual potential, and here's proof.

ME SO HAPPY - SCHULTZ
ZZ Top made the best videos of the 80s with production values rivalling those of Duran Duran and lots of sexy fun. A couple of these are a bit cheesy but they brought back so many good memories. My husband loved all the unique / weird (take your pick) guitars.A good collection - psychic
For those who like the "little band from Texas"
this is a solid collection.
It's interesting to see the transformation of the band from a Southern blues band to a more "rock" facade.
The music, of course, is fantastic and it's really hard not to like any video with the ZZ girls prancing around in it.
