Thunderbird
Thunderbird was originally written and performed by the Nightcaps, a band formed in the 1950s when the members were teenagers. The Nightcaps performed the song and distributed it on their album "Wine, Wine, Wine" but never applied for copyright. ZZ Top began performing its version of the song in 1975, and has conceded that its version is lyrically and musically identical to the Nightcaps' song. The Nightcaps sued ZZ Top for, among other things, copyright infringement, but their claims were dismissed because, in part, ZZ Top had registered a copyright on the song in 1975.

Tracks 1-3 (side A of the original LP) were recorded live at The Warehouse, New Orleans, "captured as it came down-hot, spontaneous and presented to you honestly, without the assistance of studio gimmicks". Tracks 4-9 (side B) were new studio recordings.

Personnel:
Billy Gibbons – guitar, lead vocals
Dusty Hill – bass, backing vocals, lead vocals on "Jailhouse Rock", "Balinese" and "Tush, co-lead vocals on "Heard It on the X"
Frank Beard – drums, percussion
