ZZ TOP Land One Year Mark On Canadian Music DVD Charts
June 24, 2009, 15 years ago
Today (June 24), Eagle Rock Entertainment celebrates a 52-week ride on the Canadian Music DVD SoundScan charts for ZZ Top's Live From Texas (#5 this week on the Top 50 Music DVD charts, and closing in on 5x platinum in Canada).
Originally released on June 24, 2008, Live From Texas is the first-ever live concert on DVD and Blu-ray from ZZ Top. A compendium of the entire ZZ career, Live From Texas features 17 of the bands most beloved tracks, including 'Tush', 'Legs' and 'Sharp Dressed Man'. This DVD not only features 2 hours of the Southern-fried sizzle ZZ Top is world-famous for, but bonus footage of the band discussing their evolution over a poker game.
