A video of ZZ Top performing Sixteen Tons live with Jeff Beck has been released.
The promo is from the trio’s recently released Greatest Hits Live package, which features material recorded over the course of several tours in cities worldwide. It follows the launch of their live video for song Tush last month.
It was inspired by a fan-made mash-up of ZZ Top and Beck performing the 1947 Merle Travis classic issued in 2012, according to The Los Angeles Times.
Gibbons said it was created by “someone who obviously had too much time on his hands.” Beck added: “Bloody hell – we can do this!”
Beck also appears on 1985 single Rough Boy, another cut from the album which originally appeared on the Afterburner album.
ZZ Top are currently touring North America, with dates scheduled into November.
