I saw this live on PPV in 1981. I had no idea who this guy was, but that set before the Stones was so surprising. Especially this song. But the entire set was monumentally electric. You can't deny the epic excellence of The Stones, but there wasn't a single song they played that gave me the same rush of adrenaline that George and the Destroyers gave me that night.

[@dennisliming1886]

Knows how to rock. Love it!!!!!

[@al2307]

Diggin it alright. What you reckon George? :-)

[@maxxengland8745]

Slide guitar is just something special, and when the Delaware Destroyer himself takes the brakes off, it goes so much further.

[@bettyhottenrott1974]

No one like him. Ever.

[@SafeTrucking]

Saw him and the destroyers at the Glen Hotel in Brisbane, Australia in the mid-80s, no idea what particular year, they all kind of got blurred together back then. Incredible performance!

[@davidclementi5434]

I went to see George in concert some 35/40 years ago in south Texas at a place called 'Gilleys"...man, I cannot find the words to adequately express what an awesome show he put on!!! One of, if not THE Loudest, most energetic Rock n Roll performance ever!!!!

[@thomasmedeiros5722]

One of the most high energy performers in Rock and Roll. When you go to a George Thorogood performance he “ plays loud and he plays fast” so “ try to keep up”. As much as I enjoy listening to his recordings you really have to watch him play live to appreciate his enthusiasm and energy on stage.

[@normwho7]

Absolutely jaw dropping amazing. What energy, how did this guy not become bigger than he was. Just good time fun rock n roll ...god bless you George

[@cherycap465]

I could watch this a thousand times. Love his energy. Great show

[@steveburgamy4262]

I believe it was 1997, I drove to Reno to see ZZ Top. George was the opening act. He finished and the crown went absolutely nuts. ZZ Top came on, started playing. Before they finished their first song, the entire crowd was calling for George to come back.

[@TheBeatenPaths]

I heard that happened at Stones concerts too. And that's why he stopped touring with them.

[@johnjones-ri2lb]

THAT is what you call Rock & Roll!!

[@TonyWud]

Dirty Rock n Roll

[@mantrafiscus]

There's enough energy there to run a power station.

[@DavidWvu]

George Thorogood sure makes it feelgood!!!!!!!!!!!

[@chrispeckham9835]

Saw him at the Concord Pavilion and they shut his mike off because he just wouldnt stop. Best show i ever saw.

[@GeneNoll]

I have his George thorogood and the destroyers album. No way can you get sleepy listening to him play!! If I'm getting sleepy driving a semi truck I play Bad to the Bone!! "The Big Guy"

[@kellysmith3628]

I was at this show in the video you can see Stones piano player Ian Stewart got up and jammed with George Thorogood and with Ian on the keys made George's band sound like a real R&R band.

[@theresahaselton8224]

Thank you for sharing your music with us George. I just fell in love with your music the first time i heard it. This song is just my all time favourite....

[@johngoard8272]

No one can do it like George !!

[@mikemaddox3402]

I was there at Hampton and was blown away by both George and the Stones. Then went to see them in Philly on the same tour. Thorogood opened the show, then Journey, and then the stones. The entire crowd fell asleep for Journey as Thorogood tired them out in the opening act and the needed to recuperate before the Stones came out.

[@Marakesh7]

George is much better than the Stones.

[@billfountain856]

Saw him at The Paramount Theatre in early 80's in Denver, maybe 500 seats tops, he had just a 3-piece band that night (him, bass, drummer, other guy was ill) most amazing super LOUD show ever !!!

[@philipmann5317]

Look at his face, the guy is having the time of his life.

[@josephlemko3027]

The man can really rock!

[@alinecostantin23]

J adore l expression de son visage. Il s eclate.. Un grand artiste. Respect 🙏

[@jean-charleslariviere3658]

C est le guitariste fou chantant !!! La voix !!! Rocailleuse pour le blues, adapté au rock et rock 'n Roll,et même adaptation de country avec le chef d oeuvre d Hank Williams ! Jamais vu un mec joué de la guitare comme ça ! Il est fout !!! Un disque c est déjà super mais sur scène le plaisir est double,car chante juste,joue juste, même dans ses importations ! Voir des vidéos de spectacle c est géant mais proche ça devait être quelque chose !! Je le découvre ! Il a 73 ans,j en ai 63 et j ai loupé cette bête de scène ! Pourquoi n a t il pas eu plus de succès ?????

[@kampatterson8372]

I saw him just a month before this performance. He opened for the Stones at Candlestick Park, SF He stole the show!
