one of the best
One of the best ZZtop, classical rock at the top (before they move to new technologie and rather different sound). One of my prefered CD.

Why just one-side live?
I'm going to review this as a live album instead of a whole, cos that will take too long. The live cuts are raw and tough but full of energy and power. So why do just 3 songs? I'd have been happy with the studio tracks recorded as live instead, I think they would've been bigger & badder. Or they could've just done some Cream, Hendrix & Spirit covers, to make it a double album. In the end, its a sham cos it ends just as the band and crowd were getting warmed up. A big disappointment.

Great ZZ Top Album
FANDANGO is a great ZZ Top album, prevented from being one of their finest only by some less-than-stellar live cuts, because the studio songs are as good as anything on the first three albums or TEJAS. This CD/cassette is a must-own.

Live Top
Over the years, ZZ Top has released few live recordings. Here on Fandango and later on XXX are about all, so far...
This album (Release 4) drew even more listeners to ZZ after Tres Hombres, showing a new side, their LIVE side, which is STILL legendary. This album truly shows Billy's guitar skills and the bands virtuosity as a whole, showcasing their ability to go from slow,crunchy blues riffs to live full-tilt wild boogie... and everything in between. Their age in '74 when this album was released contributes to the high-amp level on the live tracks, and that same energy got a lot of people out to see them live, and become lifetime ZZ Fans. Over 30 years old, and it is still great listening! In addition, there are cool tracks here that you won't find anywhere else, like Blue Jean Blues, Balinese, Blackbird and X. The live bonus tracks are just icing on the cake. A true classic rock album which should be in every collectors library. Each consecutive ZZ album released sold more and more copies, in part due to the strength of this release. If you are a player, just try to keep up with the changes on X! Whew! Definitely Reccomend this one. It Cooks, and shows why ZZ is,and always will be, one of the most kick-a$$ 3-piece bands in the world !!!
A-how-how-how-how!Have Mercy!

Don't Skip This Fandango
This is prime ZZ TOP. Primal Blues and Rock masterfully cooked on a southern BBQ, dripping marinades and hot sauces. This WILL leave you want for more ... and more you will have. TUSH, BLUE JEAN BLUES, MEXICAN BLACKBIRD. This disc kick serious butt and it is as good as it gets.
