    All the music and crazy you want to heaar

    Sometimes these band documentaries are dry droning factoids - but not this one. This is wall to wall ZZ Top hits - live and background - with big hits and some jams enuf for any true ZZ fan. Also their story is presented just right, with many of the crazy stories from the road ("Keith Richards always wore the same white pants that were totally filthy...") that you'd hope for. The occasional little animated bits fit right in too. To me this was the prefect band history documentary. I got no complaints...
