1980s1980TV AppearanceRareLiveyoutube

ZZ Top recorded in 1980 on the music oriented TV show, Rockpalast in Germany. Dusty Hill bass/vocals, Billy Gibbons guitar, Frank Beard drums. The writing credit for "Dust my Broom" is a little fuzzy. It has traditionally gone to Robert Johnson, but publishing of Blues songs from the 20s & 30s was almost non existent. The song was popularized by Elmore James "King of the Slide Guitar".
