SonnyBurnett1988 - Track 13 is definetely "Hey, Bo Diddley" (by Bo Diddley)

Living in Cincinnati for the last 15 years, this is a great find. George is a true blues rocker and fantastic to hear his early work. Great quality.

George at his at absolute best, simply amazing sound. That version of Manhattan Slide is to die for,

Thanks for posting. What a great snapshot in time. Pisses me off when people give him the short shrift. He was keeping this kind of music alive while the Stones were doing Emotional Rescue. He kept the flame of Chuck Berry and John Lee Hooker alive, back when the others that were influenced by them forgot about them. Keeping it simple isn't always the easiest thing to do over the course of 40+ years. GT never strayed from the flame and proudly kept the flame alive. I listen to them first couple Rounder records and his live shows whenever I get the blues. Listen to the live Boston '82 show. Tell me what band would want to follow them after that show? If George made a penny off each beer that was drunk during one of his shows he'd be a billionaire. If this music doesn't make you wanna pop an oat soda, what would?

Ditto. I was 14 when I recorded this directly off the radio, onto cassette. Stolen from my car around 1983. My son was playing GT in my car last weekend and I told him about this concert. Glad I found it.

Saw him at Hollywood Casino in Ohio about two years ago, and he was just as excellent all these years later as he is in this recording. Best show they ever had there!!

there's only one lonesome George!!!!!! 🔥👍😎👏

I saw them in 1981 (?) on their "50 states in 50 days" tour and the energy of George and the band was fantastic. What a great concert.

Lonesome George, been his fan since the start. Thanks for posting! 👍🔥

Wow! Just found this posting. Pretty sure I engineered this session. What a flashback!

I'll give you a url to a 1980 show here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qGh-tbWMeMLSpKg.html&start_radio=1

incredible quality, thank you so much for uploading this !! :)

Just started listening to the show and fantastic so far... there is a track 22 minutes in that he plays during Madison Blues in the early 80's.... That is the best .. thank you for sharing. Cheers

MY dude u rock my face at Akron university late 80s awesome show

This is amazing!

Hugs from France ! Love George 🎸😍

He Played Stanley theater in Pgh, Pa in 83 and People were Bouncing, Gyrating and Dancing, it was Like a FN Revival !! GT&DT are Infectious & Amazing Live !! RE: Steve Martin The Jerk , I Can't Stop My Leg when he Heard the Blues for the 1st time, It was Kinda Like That but Way Betta !!!

Ooh damn this is rock

I so remember this, thanks for sharing it DID rock!

This is fantastic. Thank you!

Great show! The 5th floor radio concert series was awesome. Does anyone happen to have Taj Mahal's concert? Mine was stolen years ago and I'd give anything to hear it again.

Hola jefe,me complace escucharlo,gracias.Saludos.

This is a great live recordng.I have this on a cassette that I recorded off the air when the concert was broadcast live. I came across it about ten years ago and the quality was still good so transferred it to CD. I was trying to pin down the year. Thanks!

This is probably the best recording of George and the Destroyers you will hear...unless you saw them from the start. George is right, he preforms on a 125, and nobody does it better then he does. Not everyone can be 6"3 and hit the ball 500 feet out of the ball park....c'est la vie..
