Older, the Lil' Ol' Band from Texas sounds thicker and heavier - and Billy Gibbons' growl is so gruff it seems tattered - but that helps distinguish these versions from the spit and polish of the studio versions not better, per se, but certainly the work of a band whose members happily settle into their advanced years, not wishing to change a thing about how they do things.
