What I love so much about George Thorogood, other than his talent, his voice, his face, his body and so many other things, is his willingness to give up the limelight to someone else over and over and just keep playing and lovin it. He's a damn good musician and so underrated.

Believe it or not I only found lonesome George recently: house rent blues...and I just love that performance. He just lives it. Look it's 1234 but he delivers it with feeling...:-)

My first car was a 1967 Chevelle 2 door hard top. I remember driving it and I remember this song coming on the radio during the 1980’s. Only people who lived during this era understand just how cool that feeling was. By the way, 35 years later......I still own the car. I never sold it.

Real music. Real instruments. Real voices, sounding as rich and on-point when performing live as well as in the studio. No autotune, no BS, no need to show their @sses. 'twas a beautiful thing.

George should be on those lists of talented guitarist

Long time fan of George. I first saw him playing a pedal slide guitar, long before fame. Years later I ran into him at a local gas, coffee place in PA. We were neighbors. He drove that ol black checker car. He also helped and built baseball diamonds all around Newark DE. I last saw him live during this tour but at the Dell in Philly. Bad to the Bone fer sure, but a great guy. My wife surprised me with his autograph that year. I never told her we chatted once in a while in Kemblesville PA while making coffee.

I never felt cheated. ( unlike The Stones) I did get to see him & the Destroyers several times. Starting in 79. This is Rock n Roll stripped down to its core. R&B with a hard edge.

There is nothing better than brothers that come together in music.

If there's one George Thorogood track that's screaming for harmonica, it's this one. And John Hammond murdered it.

As someone born in the early 90s, i look back upon this time of giants i missed through the curse of a late birth, i see these titans of music who walked the earth blowing rooftops off venues and making modern day musicians look like pathetic vapid hacks, and i can't help but feel extreme envy towards all those who lived large through the tail end of the 20th century.

I first was made aware of John Hammond in the fall of 1964 when I moved to Detroit to go to college. I bought one of his lps and that was the beginning of my admiration of John Hammond.

Petition for a kickass movie about George Thorogood starring the man Ike Barinholtz as George?!!! Who's with me?!

Thank the Lord in Heaven. There’s still Blues Men out there. Caustic came back from Belzoni Mississippi. Home of the Delta Blues. Stayed on 49 the Blues Hwy. Buried my mother there and all my Ancestors. Thank you George. Keeping that shit alive.

This concert was a huge party & so much fun, every time I saw him.

This is as raw and as loud the blues can be!

First time I saw George and the Destroyers was 1986 in New Orleans. They blew the roof off the joint and blew my mind. Had no idea that a rock & roll show could be so much fun and that a group could kick so much ass. George is the man!

I was born in 84 and this song still holds strong

The first concert I ever saw was George Thorogood and The Destroyers, on what I’m guessing would have been this same tour. No opener that I recall. He kept playing past the 11 p.m. “official” end time. The lights went up, and he was still playing. They finally cut power to the stage, and announced the show was over. He was yelling to turn the power back on, to no avail. It was a great way to start my concert-going ‘career’. I’ve seen him 3 or 4 times more over the years, and while he may not be quite as fiery as he was in the early 80s, but still always gives a great show. He’ll always be one of my faves.

1987, Hampton Colliseum, Va, one of the flat out best concerts I ever had the chance to attend. No light show, no lasers, no videos, just great musicians playing pure blues based rock and roll.

I saw him at the Dane County Coliseum in Madison, WI on this tour. Remember it like it was yesterday. Saw him 30-something years later at Shoreline in the Bay area with my own son. The shows were both fantastic. So horribly underrated considering his success in that era of hair metal on one side and new wave on the other. He stands the test of time as he stood alone back then.

I saw him open the show for the Rolling Stones in Boulder Colorado in October of 1981...I had never heard of him before. This tour made him famous.... Heart played 2nd....Then the Stones....one of the best concerts I've ever attended....They don't do them like that any more.
