"On October 20th, Eagle Rock Entertainment, through its wholly-owned Eagle Vision subsidiary, will release ZZ TOP's Double Down Live, the first historic concert performance ever to be approved for release by the band. Clocking in at just under two hours, this double dose disc delivers twenty-eight years of hard rock, blues, and boogie – ZZ Top style!

Disc One, filmed in 1980, is dubbed Definitely Then, and is packed with 22 early ZZ Top classics from their Tres Hombres and Fandango!albums, including: 'La Grange', 'Tush', 'Cheap Sunglasses', 'Tube Snake Boogie', and more, many of which remain in their live set to this day. This concert was captured at the Grugahalle in Essen, Germany for the Rockpalast TV series. The concert took place hot on the heels of the release, 30 years ago, of their classic Deguello album (it features 9 of the 10 songs from it). The show found ZZ Top in the era prior to the band’s discovery of sequencers and synthesizers and epitomized the down ‘n’ dirty take no prisoners attitude of “that lil’ ol’ band from Texas” nickname. To this day, this disc is a true best of ZZ Top in the seventies.

Disc Two, subtitled Almost Now, was shot during their European tour in 2008, includes 11 performances, interview clips, and backstage footage to create the ultimate ZZ Top on the road movie.

One of the most instantly recognizable sounds in rock music, ZZ Top’s signature brand of boogie ‘n’ blues has earned them massive success, including an induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Since their 1969 inception in Houston, Texas, the trio of singer/guitarist/frontman Billy F Gibbons, bassist Dusty Hill, and drummer Frank Beard has spent almost 40 years delivering Southern-fried sizzle without a personnel change.

With nearly 30 years between the performances, Double Down Live gives a fascinating insight into what has maintained the ZZ Top live phenomenon. This release follows the huge success of the Live From Texas Eagle releases of last year on CD, DVD, and Blu-ray. The DVD spent over a year on the charts, with 3 weeks at the #1 position."
