The Untold Story of ZZ Top's First Gig: That One Guy

ZZ Top - That Little Ol' Band From Texas (One Guy Clip)

Produced by the Emmy award-winning Banger Films, ZZ TOP: THAT LITTLE OL’ BAND FROM TEXAS tells the story of how three oddball teenage bluesmen - Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill, and Frank Beard – became one of the biggest, most beloved bands on the planet, all while maintaining a surrealist mystique that continues to intrigue fans and entice onlookers 50 years after the band’s inception.

Buoyed by candid band interviews, never-before-seen archive, animation, celebrity fan testimonials (Billy Bob Thornton, Joshua Homme and more), and an intimate performance at the legendary Gruene Hall shot exclusively for this documentary, “That Little Ol’ Band” runs the gamut, from the absurd to the poignant, from squalid Texas bars to MTV heroics, all in celebration of this notoriously private, but larger than life, power trio. In the end, ZZ TOP: THAT LITTLE OL’ BAND FROM TEXAS unravels the extraordinary tale of a band whose image we know, but whose story we don’t.

They're such a class act. Billy "Of course we remember you!!" Love that.

[Mark_McC]

This story is hilarious. Make me kinda love ZZ even more!

[FredFukkinBear]

RIP Dusty Hill. Tres Hombres from Tejas. I'd give anything to be that "one guy" at their gig. I've been a huge fan of ZZ Top from the first time I heard them back in the early 70's.

A GREAT story by a GREAT artist and a GREAT bunch of guys 😎

We wish we were that guy. That had to be awesome. When I was 14 my favorite was zztop and Ted Nugent and Eric Clapton .I'm 55 where did time go.

I would love to meet Billy Gibbons talk about life and music, and have him play guitar on my next album. Not only only is he a great musician and artist, but a real down to earth NICE GUY 😎

Many bands can learn from this - it doesn't matter how many people are there, just do the gig and look at it as a rehearsal on a stage and enjoy it! The Police on their first US tour played a gig in front of 5 people and did the whole set. Just be professional.

Fantastic story !! Really cool ! Almost like Supertramp the first they've played in Paris

[Hespeakstruth]

Rented the movie yesterday the guys had talent and it was clear they were going places. But one thing noticable was Bill Ham the manager worked like a son of a gun. And im glad one of my favorite bands finally told me their story.

[sebastienjannes]

"Well, one guy is better than nothing, let's roll" Haha awsome.

Hearing this story makes me want to buy Billy, Dusty, and Frank a coke 😎

Very, very interesting story and part of the ZZ Top history.
I wish we wanna know who the heck is that "one guy".
We want the answer now.

[SHSULeadTrumpet]

It wasn’t their first gig. It was just a gig in Alvin, Tx. All of 30 min from my home town.

[graemeknowles]

[PaulHonkomp-wdop]
