George Thorogood - Move it On Over (REACTION)

[@TeresaMount-t9o]

Love George , good song is One Bourbon one scotch and one beer. You will really enjoy that one, thanks guys.

[@johnnikos7817]

He's one of my favorites. That's a Hank Williams cover

[@cfoley1014]

Yes!

[@TeresaMount-t9o]

@@johnnikos7817I love all the energy in his performances.

[@CANDOKNOWHOW]

@@johnnikos7817”Move it On Over” is a great Hank cover, “One Bourbon, One Scotch, and One Beer “ is a great cover of John Lee Hooker. George has a knack for tipping his hat to the greatest of Americana, while boldly laying it down in his own way. I’ve heard some interviews where he waxes fondly about the heyday of blues, country swing, and early rock n’ roll.. the guy really knows his stuff!

[@JayyeStone]

Great cover of Hank Williams' tune

[@mrnobody9104]

George and the Delaware Destroyers were absolutely fluent in the art of keeping the party rockin!

[@botabob]

Hank Williams, Sr wrote this song in 1947. I loved this song back in the 60s growing up in the 60s. cheers

[@kentzepick4169]

Interesting. Didn’t know that.

[@christianman73]

@@kentzepick4169 HWS originally recorded this song, too, and it was a hit on the country charts. I love both versions, though I did hear the Thorogood one first.

[@mtzoar]

i remember george saying back in the 70s he only did covers because all the good songs had already been written ( paraprhrasing)

[@Big_Al_63]

Hank Sr wrote some amazing tunes and I'm not a country fan. I love his stuff!

[@ronaldwilliams6927]

George was an under rated slide guitarist in my opinion.He had some hits back in the 70s and this was one of them.

[@LesSmith45]

I agree he’s a great outstanding slide guitarist

[@darrinholscher4897]

"I Drink Alone" y'all love it.

[@t.j.payeur5331]

When I saw him decades ago they wore sneakers and black jeans and t-shirts. Their only stage props were galvanized steel trash cans full of ice and beer...which they drank constantly through the whole performance..it was an awesome show...

[@mookie7688]

George played a lot of covers of bluesmen like John Lee Hooker and Bo Diddley, as well as Country artists (Hank Williams in this case). He's not the most technical player, but he kept the good-time music alive and helped to introduce it to a new generation of fans in the 80s.

[@robertjohnson1681]

not the most technical player, but man... the fat thumpy twangy tones he could get and just hang on a note and slide into it to elicit more feeling than most technical masters can achieve...of course it's all subjective

[@mookie7688]

@@robertjohnson1681 Agreed. I've always loved the sheer power and character of his playing.

[@CANDOKNOWHOW]

I’ve always wanted to catch him Live, he seems like he would keep the house a-rockin’!

[@inaneglory7431]

Saw him a couple of times back in the '80s. House was always rocking.

[@rghilino6734]

Saw George open for John Fogerty last week in NJ. He can still rock at 74.

[@JukeboxHero-og5uq]

That makes John Fogerty 79. These rockers are getting old. 🙁

[@zolch5771]

George puts on a great live show. Love that slide. Saw him at Red Rocks a couple times. Check out some live videos

[@tireshredderjoe8894]

I saw him once and it was awesome!

[@lindalou6105]

Seen twice. Great concerts!

[@janetf23]

George Thorogood is always good for a smile💙🎶 3 more of my favorites, from the 80s juke box, for playing pool and sharing a pitcher with my pal Paul; 'Who Do You Love' 'Bad to the Bone' and even 'I Drink Alone' accompanied a lot of good times

[@pamelabourgeois2628]

Love his deep gritty voice.

[@arthurwoodson288]

Check out Bad to the Bone & Who Do You Love.

[@janicez2630]

He was really fun live

[@edf9682]

Saw him open for The Stones in 1981 and he ROCKED Candlestick Park!!

[@detours6571]

On Sunday I went to see John Fogerty, I didn't think he had a opening act but he did and it was George Thorogood and the Destroyers. Not bad!

[@michaelgray4964]

This is a classic Hank Williams, Sr country song lyric from the 1940's, rocked out with turbocharged blues rock slide guitar. The guitar and vocal is all George. Good stuff.

[@letstalk3265]

We first saw George and the Destroyers in the late 70's here in Oz. They went off and played for 4 hours. Great night. Unforgettable.

[@Lovegun-w4s]

I saw George T back in the early to mid 80s along with The stray Cats at Summerfest in Milwaukee.....was a great time 💯👍

[@CANDOKNOWHOW]

Wow, what a great billing too! Both are notorious for putting on a hell of a show when they play live. Awesome! 😎👍

[@mikecaetano]

Bocephus says "Move It On Over" is the first rock and roll song. And whether or not that's true, George Thorogood showed how much the song still rocked thirty years later. And now we're approaching fifty years after that and it still rocks.

[@ChuckDewald]

I saw him on St Patrick's Day late 80s. George put on a great show. Almost 3 hours. I was deaf and exhausted by the time we got to the car.

[@patches6309]

KING of the ES-125 thin-line hollowbody named "White Fang!" Man can he rock that which recreates the tone of the first generation of P-90s invented by Gibson legend Seth Lover.

[@brandonboucher7090]

I think this song is literally the template for Rock n Roll

[@anthonygiordano8237]

These guys could jam with the best of them

[@chrisbeloff6689]

I've seen this guy live a few times and it was always money well spent. He's true to his art and always made sure the fans got what they wanted.

[@kjisnot]

Good tune for cruising down the road. Bad To The Bone works too.

[@revaflowers3115]

Hank Williams Sr. wrote this song in 1947. George gives it his special brand .

[@karenwalsh1143]

Dang, i haven't heard this song for decades!!! Thanks y'all.. good stuff!❤

George Thorogood is baaaad to the bone! Great live

[@syvsinger1]

George Thorogood, totally getting the job done very well! Classic Hank Williams Sr. tune from the 1940's.

[@TYoung023]

Just saw him last week at Bethel Woods, NY (Woodstock). Great show! Him and John Fogerty!

[@dudleyvaxxer7241]

I saw George Thorogood and the Destroyers along with The Rolling Stones, The J. Geils Band and Prince at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum back in October of 1981.... What a day that was!!

[@MrJhbart001]

Probably the most fun I have ever had at a concert was seeing these guys at an outdoor music festival about 30 years ago now. They definitely made everybody happy! Good times

[@josephgallagher945]

Thoroughly good George!

[@marlonsummey1983]

We just seen George with John Fogerty in SC 2 weeks ago. Both guy's still rock it out!

[@jonesydad17]

Also, he was a minor league baseball player. Pretty good player. You fellas would like one bourbon, one scotch, one beer.

[@samm3607]

Late 80's, I sat with a friend and George at a picnic table listening to a game on the radio after finishing a show at the fair grounds. Next day, I went with the bus drivers to a local game and George showed up.

[@joeimbesi5361]

Guys, I don’t know if you’ve reviewed it yet but check out Elvin Bishop Fooled Around and Fell in Love from the Midnight Special. Amazing perfect vocal performance by Mickey Thomas!

[@KennyRansom-l5k]

I forget which of Georges early albums had the picture of George playing with a sign nearby that read "The Worlds 1st 3 Man Quartet !" 🙂

[@vickihirsch8340]

The great Hank Williams wrote so many great tunes that could be played across many genres

[@Mrwiggles360]

A classic, thanks for keeping good music alive. Off topic but I too am an SRV fan and I noticed you missed him playing....love struck/rude mood, if really shows off his amazing talent, and its live. You'll love it. Blessings

[@curtisduncanmusic7645]

Unspectacular. Bar bands are doing this any night of the week.

[@Nite37]

I saw him opening up for ZZ Top at the Gorge in Washington State. Great show.

[@vespoint]

Great intro to George T. This was the first song to get airplay in DC. Check out his covers of Who Do You Love and Ride On Josephine!

[@JayyeStone]

Saw George and the (Delaware) Destroyers at the SpiritFest in KC years ago. It was no frills, all musicianship! They rocked

[@pb68slab18]

In the doghouse again! I know the feeling!

[@Frankincensedjb123]

If you're looking for some rough and raw, straight-ahead classic rock 'n' roll, George T is your man. I've seen him in concert a few times. Great show. Some of his classics are I Drink Alone; One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer; Willie and the Hand Jive; Who Do You Love; Bad to the Bone, just to name a few.

[@RuthKing-wm9nw]

Yes! Play this album all the time. One Bourbon One Scotch One Beer and the video for Bad To The Bone. My era's music never gets old!

[@mikemaricle9941]

As we said back in the day, he was in the "Doghouse".

[@melissaford717]

Ah, I love George & The Delaware Destroyers! I got to see them once, and they were fantastic live. George can play the guitar 🎸

[@stevedahlberg8680]

This album had several hits and a bunch of amazing songs. It Wasn't Me is such a fun and funny little banger. And his cover of the Johnny Cash song Cocaine Blues, which itself may have been a cover when Johnny did it, is just epic. Who Do You Love it is such a classic. Yeah the texture and the structures are similar, but all of these have their distinct personalities for sure. I got to see them around 1981 when I was young, opening for the Rolling Stones in a smaller arena, and man is he such a good showman. Incredible. In the end he had most of us that were down on the main floor, standing up on our chairs yelling at the top of our lungs.

[@6916dog]

I saw him in Calgary Alberta Canada in 2015. Still rocking hard. Great show. Played that album all through high school

[@MicheleJane]

Really fun seeing him play live (many moons ago)

[@LesSmith45]

I have seen George about eight times live hie is 5:26 amazing puts on a great show. I can list almost 100 songs that he does 90% of th are covers of the old blues artists and he takes them to another level. Using the slide guitar and a bad ass sax. This song does not have a sax but most of his does

[@MichaelBrown-x1q]

One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer is a Must Listen!!!!!!

[@johnprice6066]

The guitar that George uses is a Gibson ES-125 TCD... It's a hollowbody guitar with P-90 single coil pickup and it is an awesome setup. I used to have a '67 cherry burst 125, and it nailed that tone perfectly.

[@BobGeogeo]

George always brings a smile to this Delaware boy.

[@212x3]

Saw him with the destroyers in concert in 1988. Incredible live concert

[@richgaluppo4417]

I first saw him at a small bar in North Jersey in 1979. We were like, who the F is this guy! Not a bad time - Setzer, T-Birds, SRV and this wildman.

[@italcook1]

George plays a mean guitar, looks and performs like Mick Jagger, who was a fan.

[@randyhall5165]

Heard this 40 yrs ago, hooked ever since.

[@timdore1131]

Many songs lay claim to the ‘birth of Rock and Roll’. But this Hank Sr classic from 1947 is a good starting point. I highly encourage you guys to listen to it (a reaction to it would be great). But to make your rock music education complete you need to hear this and other great country and r&b songs (like Rocket 88 and Rock around the Clock) to see how all the pieces fit together.

[@KennyCamaro2364]

Move it on over Laa and Chee! Good time Rockin George! This is an old Hank Williams getting the reved up rock treatment by “Lonesome George”. Do Who Do You Love off the record guys!

[@THGL01]

Y’all gotta do more George Thorogood!

[@ALD56]

The baddest mfer in rock n roll.

[@gavinschwier8242]

You want for sure “Who Do You Love” his cover of Bo Diddley. And his John Lee Hooker cover “One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer”. He’s the blues rock Bob Seger, oozes jukebox America coast to coast.

[@ML-un1oi]

😊 Excellent reaction, fellas 👏 🎉❤

[@artharrison9586]

That is an old classic blues tune from the 40’s at least, could even be older than that. George’s gig was revival. He managed to catch the old time slide sound and bring this song into the… 70’s? Maybe? Couldn’t have been the 80’s. It’s got some classic cool to it.

[@LindaJasmin-u6i]

Another great one to listen to is bad to the bone

[@dandundon9503]

1981, opened for the Stones!

[@stephentierney9266]

Ah yes,George and his slide. Underrated and under appreciated. Check out his cover of Sky is Crying. He's a world class guitar player.

[@joey_jersey671]

"Who do you love" banger...

[@gregrodriguez5697]

First song I ever heard by him..been a fan ever since.He plays the blues like it should be..dirty and nasty!

George plays the git. His sound was made on his trademark Gibson ES-125. Catch the video for "One Bourbon, One Scotch, and One Beer".

Hey y'all, yes that's George on the lead guitar! So many great tunes from him and his signature sound! Check out ''Who Do You Love ?'' next.

[@Tuesdays_Gone]

❤❤❤

[@oldgoat9227]

Seen Lonesome George several times. Doesn't need a fancy light show, lasers, computer displays, big screens or any of that when he can do just pure blues based rock and roll.

[@ChipG3000]

That is George singing and playing guitar! Movin’ into the doghouse with that dog! He’s a heck of a showman.

[@6916dog]

Awesome choice guys. George does not have a bad song. Bad To The Bone, I Drink Alone and One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer are must listen to songs. Gear Jammer is a rocker too. Get A Haircut is a fun one. His cover of Cocaine Blues is amazing too.

[@kentzepick4169]

Great song. Gritty, upbeat blues.
