How can people dislike this....raw rock n roll . His band are class...and Freddie Mercury on the drums is relentless....

[@rickygoodman1294]

Holy fucking hell! Im 63 years old and this is the first time ive seen this shit. Why wasnt i notified. Incredible.

[@kellytosch1681]

One thing I will always love about George: yes he is the Destroyers front man HOWEVER he always steps aside and shows respect to the men who helped form his style. This isn't the first time he has had guest artists on stage and he never upstages them .

[@jimmygaboda1391]

Yes!! He pays total homeage to AC!!!!

[@gregoryblackburn]

Helleo

[@basanova3382]

He did a whole album to honor the Blues masters at Chess ♟ Records. (2120 S. Michigan Ave.)

[@alanpatrick9517]

You’re absolutely correct. 100%

[@tlynch1218]

So he was playing house of blues so I bought a cheap ticket. Got in line early. Asked the guy, where. And the guy said "floor" Hold up. What? Belly up to the bar bois, front and center. Damn my good luck. So a little blues band out of east Texas played for 45. Then Billy Bob Thornton and his blues band kicked it for another hour or so and the roadie came over to me to go back stage. And I said not today... And then there was George. Playing directly in my face and all I have to say is... I'll leave that to your imagination ;)

[@peabuddie]

George just loves to jam. He's a pure musician.

[@williammills3632]

George throwing sparks with a slide and Albert Collins breaking a string and STILL Master of the Telecaster.... This is music children.

[@FriedrichBarb]

Albert Collins, only 9 years later after this legendary concert with his great friend Thorogood & he tragically passes away from lung cancer at only age 61, a shame. Great musician may he rest in peace

[@robertbreedon9137]

I love how Mr. Collins gets the telecaster to say Thank You if you listen close he gets that fender to speak. Imagine inviting a guitar legend to play on stage with you and he accepts the invite what a night this must have been to be there and see this live.

[@rodneyhunting7072]

That’s F you pal 😅

[@rodneyhunting7072]

Watch , he’s even mouthing it LoL

[@vajra0150]

Jawdroppingly awesome guitar work. One of my wife and my favorite vids: she died Friday, and this is one thing that lifts me right out of the black - you can't be depressed listening to this. I'll crank this up and know that she's listening, rockin' out to the afterlife.

[@vincentbrannelly8786]

Good wishes my friend.. Vinny UK

Sorry to hear about your wife.

[@rodneyhunting7072]

I'm so very sorry for your loss RIP

[@troam1324]

OMG I'm so sorry for your loss. That is so sad. I'm sure she is with The Lord now

[@pdependejo8274]

God bless your wife and you. You have a friend in Mexico, any time, Ok?. Love you man.

[@johnmcgrath4428]

THE most underrated guitar player of all time, period!

[@monslayernone8898]

I knew Albert, he was a very kind, very humble man. But when he strapped on a Telecaster, he was the most bad ass player that ever walked the face of this earth. Him and George, friggin amazing together.

[@rayhughes3243]

Just doesn't get any better than this! I've heard it all, this is the greatest song of all time,

[@mikolj6649]

This is what a great talent does. Keeps playin". He knows damn good and well his strings are broke. The show must go on. Albert Collins is a true talent.

[@Brian31881]

Didn't realize George had Albert Collins with him here. What a treat, Albert was one of the greats, an absolutely original and unique stylist.

[@tomrucco6490]

This is one performer who knows how to put on a show the man could Rock!!!

[@ronalddunne3413]

THIS is what is meant by the term "ROCK and ROLL"! Some damn great music

[@rickpettit8903]

AND ALBERT WITH A BROKEN STRING STILL SMASHING IT!!!!!

[@thomastarwater6035]

Albert Collins busted a string on his Fender Telecaster and kept right on jamming. Now that's how you play the guitar. Hard to believe that George Thorogood will turn 69 this month. And he's still playing that slide guitar like he's 19 years old. Yeahhh. Good playing, good singing, and how about that duet five minutes into the song. Great stuff.

[@jasonfranklin1654]

Yep his the master

[@plynch42]

Brilliant stuff. Rory Gallagher was noted for changing a broken string on the run.

[@voivodvlad1]

George is seriously ill right now. Pray for his recovery.

[@dragomiruzelac2227]

​​@@voivodvlad1 kzbin.info/www/bejne/gH6saI2FobWFnbM Fully recovered, as you can see.

[@thatsmrfuckwit]

Respect. All round. Bless you George for bringing the Telecaster Master the attention he deserves....

[@Mistertbones]

Albert breaks a string, and just continues playing.

[@billfilice6408]

I caught that. lol

[@livewire2759]

Why stop? He's got 5 more...

[@FriedrichBarb]

Only 9 years later after this legendary concert & he tragically passes away from lung cancer at only age 61, a shame. Great musician may he rest in peace

[@SeppSeppelin]

Albert breaks a string, and just sounds the same as before.

[@greenmonalisa]

Cuz that's how the pros do it

[@dannycalifornia4983]

Thorogood making the Ice Man play his best. What a performance!!

[@jasonfranklin1654]

Albert shreds it like always

[@vincentbrannelly8786]

only a bow in the shadow of greatness can be an honest reaction . Respect my friends and thank you all .

[@clivedxb]

And on the Telecaster five string Mr Albert Collins...

[@MrKitkennedy]

TWO OF THE MASTERS AT WORK

[@rexwilliams1108]

it just don't get no better than that right there !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@willlees711]

Sir Albert Collins ladies and gentlemen. The master of the telecaster. To be on stage, to share a room with this legend. Life? Completed it mate

[@Seasiatravels]

One of the best shows I have ever seen in my life. Love from South Australia xox

[@jeffreyanderson7665]

George Thorogood = He sure knows how to get the show on. One of my top favorites and best selection.

[@jamieanson3303]

Frigin Priceless! Take me back there & I will happily stay for eternity!!!

[@kakorakr6149]

40 years ago and still the best!

[@SerialDelta]

Oh the gold memories this brings back... I was carrying an M60 in the Battalion when I listened to this.

[@fmj4138]

George you the man and will always be the best rock'n' roll man in my books! Damn right!

[@richardholtman735]

He loves what he does and we love that he does it. One of my all time favourite!

[@jameshoward429]

Mr Albert Collins.the Master of the Telecaster And feel good Throgood .Let it Rock.and ill Roll on down the Road with this RockNRoll show forever.

[@johnlane35]

Great entertainer, Thanks for being part of my life, George. ( thank-you too Albert.)

[@alanpowell8868]

One of my all time favorite songs from George. Just had it pumping on my sound bar ... you know the Story. . A few beers on a Saturday afternoon .. etc etc it's young Saturday night ..

[@jehrymiller4864]

Mind blowing 😱

[@calixa]

thorogood has got to be one of the most underrated guitarists, no? Gearjammer is such a sick song, along with most of his catalog.

[@boycebyerly1]

+calixa Collins is a pretty good guitarist, but no, George Thorogood isn't. He does a good job with effects and distortion, but he's mostly just pounding on one chord the whole song, and almost all his songs are the same.

[@haleymay1119]

+Boyce Byerly Nothing like saying George isn't a good guitarist while at the same time, listening to Madison Blues without complaint...

[@vincentbrannelly8786]

pius the slide ? you don't like this you cant hear ! listen and love Diane . thx

[@adamgabriel5402]

Boyce, take this L just for that first name.

[@levismitch]

Boyce: 15 million album sales, 6 gold albums, 2 platinum. But keep telling yourself he's overrated due to his "effects". The man is nothing if notorious for being consistent for his Gibson ES-125TDC into a Fender Dual Showman. What kind of success have you had in the music industry again?

[@jonbexx]

Omg this is awesome.two masters having fun🎸🎸

[@phillipholt6005]

To me Lonesome George is one of the best Blues Compiler ever.

[@jameshoward429]

Who better than George and his. Buddy Albert Collins. This is the best RockNRoll Song that I've ever heard.i Love this music.62 and I've heard then all.

[@teresaderaspe9652]

Albert Collins killin it with George Thurogood

[@jackmewhalle6937]

That's what I loved about George he always gave respect to the old guitar players that he learned from.

[@gutbucket260]

Keep on rocking George. RIP Albert.

[@monslayernone8898]

No one sounds like Albert, they why he's The Master. But the roar of that Gibson, George was underrated. Two amazing players just rippin it. You don't hear music like this anymore.

[@robertzobert1953]

those guys were fucking killing it
