In 2003, ZZ Top was riding the wave of their successful career, and the live recording from May 23, 2003, at the Tweeter Center in Camden, New Jersey, occurred shortly after the release of their album "Recycler," which came out in 1990, and before the 2003 studio album "Mescalero." The band was known for their blend of blues rock and boogie, complemented by their iconic style and stage presence. In the early 2000s, ZZ Top had begun to re-establish their prominence in rock music, and during this period, they engaged in extensive touring. The live performance in New Jersey showcased their ability to connect with fans and the enduring popularity of hits like "Pincushion.” Notably, ZZ Top's distinct visual identity, characterized by their long beards and sunglasses, continued to set them apart in the rock genre, making live performances a significant aspect of their appeal.
