On Aug. 12, ZZ Top will put out Greatest Hits Live. The compilation shows off the global appeal of the band’s extensive catalog, with seven countries in three continents represented.

“We spend the biggest stretch of every year out on the road, whippin’ wire, poundin’ skin, and rockin’ it way up,” guitarist Billy Gibbons said in a press release. “This is the true document of life de la ZZ. In an abstract surrealism style, this collection is a definitive chronicle of the band hangin’ together for four plus deluxe decades, getting down to do what we get to do. Enjoy and listen to loudness!”

The 15 songs were recorded over several tours in 13 cities around the world, including New York, London, Paris, Chicago and Sao Paulo, Brazil and features such classics as “Legs,” “Cheap Sunglasses” and “Tube Snake Boogie.” Jeff Beck, with whom ZZ Top has frequently toured in recent years, is featured on two tracks, “Rough Boy” and a cover of the Tennessee Ernie Ford folk standard “16 Tons.”

Greatest Hits Live can be pre-ordered at CD and vinyl at Amazon and digital download at iTunes. You can listen to that version of “Rough Boy” with Beck above.
