This week's Classic Rock Album was a popular classic from the little ol' band from Texas: ZZ Top with 'Tres Hombres' (their third LP, and their commercial break-out, from 1973).

There is a dearth of live Top footage from the 70's, so here's a great rendition of 1973's 'Beer Drinkers and Hellraisers' performed at the band's first European shows in 1980:
