George Thorogood - Who Do You Love? - 7/5/1984 - Capitol Theatre (Official)

[@patsielee7760]

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.

[@travisbickle1951]

I totally agree, that makes him so relatable and an a great guy, but I love him doing his thing front and center. This guy I wish hadn't stole the stage from the boss this time. But opinions are like assholes, everyone has one, they all stink, and I'm a stinky asshole lol. I enjoyed it anyways.

[@johnr.b.murray3417]

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.

The only place you can have the climax of George Thorogood's songs is in the car, full volume and the long road.

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.

[@richardedwards299]

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!

[@kato64]

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.

Saw him at a small venue in Dayton Ohio 35 years ago. He walked across the tables in front of us. Grabbed a beer off the table, played slide with it, then took a swig and handed it back. I don't care if he'd done it a 100 times before in 100 different venues, it was the coolest show of musicianship and being part of the crowd I'd ever seen. Awesome show.
