Now I want this combo!! George Thorogood- "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer" (REACTION)

[@patriciaclark5428]

And that, my friend, is how it's done! Those guitars are in the hands of two masters of their craft. I never tire of hearing them play.

[@terrieb13]

Love this performance! George and Elvin together...fabulous! 💖😎

[@LibbyAnn]

The thing on his finger was a slide and you do get different sounds when using one. Great reaction!❤️😊

[@shirazzza]

It screams blues to me! It's versatile then cos you don't need a dedicated slider

[@mitzaz8812]

I'm 63 yrs old and forgot that everything is digitized mixed and remixed these days. It's a real shame that so many young people have no idea what they are missing hearing live music, with all of the good, bad. I believe that they really earned the respect of their audience because they had to work for it!

[@chriso6719]

This is a cover. The 1966 original is by legendary bluesman John Lee Hooker. Of course, this live version is heavily ad-libbed. George has been known for his heavy touring. He once did 50 shows in 50 states in 50 days, no nights off.

[@arlaabrell8658]

close, the original was done by Amos Milburn in 1953, John Lee Hooker covered in 66 and made it much more famous.

[@nim4464]

actually JLH's version is also a cover the original was written by Rudy Toombs and recorded by Amos Milburn

[@ann-marieblaney2552]

@@arlaabrell8658 just coming here to say the same thing. Although George puts his own take on it.

[@thekingcobra63]

Back in the day we saw George at the Oregon State fair, later that night we were in our local bar and he walked in with his boys and played all night in that dive bar with all of us partying like fools. Was beyond amazing.

[@devildoc4257]

George was actually a pretty good pitcher in baseball. Probably could have made the bigs but gave it up to play guitar and sing. I think he made the right choice.

[@joshsheffield3820]

George also sang the song "When I Drink Alone, I Prefer To Be By Myself!"

[@EllenRosePeach]

LOVE me some George! Saw him live, great show. Bad to the Bone is my all time favorite, give it a listen!

[@dorindacunningham9452]

Lonesome George Thorogood, I don't think has a bad song. Went to see him in 1992 I think, it was so awesome. Elvin Bishop is good himself. Checkout "Bad to bone"

[@debbiewallace4907]

I have been to 2 of his concerts, they were always SOOO full of energy. Brian Setzer was with him at the last concert. Also, a legend and he brought several of his guitars. Thanks

[@lindalou6105]

Saw a couple times myself. Great concerts!

[@davidstephens6462]

A lot of guys actually use sparkplug sockets as slides. Pull the foam out so their finger fits inside. But generally, slides are made out of glass, ceramics, copper or chromed steel. A bunch of the old blues players used old glass corracidan cold medicine bottles or cut down long neck beer or whiskey bottle necks.

[@brentdallyn8459]

Thorogood was hugely successful, pretty good for a musician who NEVER recorded an original composition. Every single album He and the destroyers recorded comprised covers of others original tunes

[@nancy-su9zk]

Elvin Bishop wrote "Fooled Around and Fell In Love"! Elvin is a legend.

[@erickent3557]

And THAT is when you believe in The Blues. What a great Art form, a big Thanks to all those pioneers George calls out in the middle. As others already mentioned, the thing on his finger is a slide - a super-important sound in the Blues. What was that story the guitarist from The Band related? He was playing slide guitar in a side moment, just for his own satisfaction; and was it Muddy Waters who came up behind him? Grabbed him around the chest and said "Don't ever stop playing that..." Tells you how important that sound was.

[@mildredpierce4506]

George has the perfect blues voice. It sounded too old for him when he was young but as he aged, it fit his look. This is a cover John Lee Hooker’s song. Both are good.

[@nim4464]

JLH's version is also a cover of Amos Milburn's song (written by Rudy Toombs)

[@haroldhand2877]

I saw George in a small venue in Va Beach in the early 80's ...what a blast

[@sondrawhite3853]

George used to play on the side wall of main St in Newark De when he was first starting out, always great music from him

[@traciemack6168]

Thank you for a wonderful reaction!

[@SGTJDerek]

John Lee Hooker released this song(no sure if he wrote it) but George embellished it a little bit. He is an extremely underrated picker. Every name he called out are Legends of The Blues. They all had their own "tone" and that's what Elven was playing.

[@laurenfelsberg6406]

How can you not smile from Ear-to-Ear watching this????!!!!!

[@sharonpate5481]

Elvin using a slide! If you wanna see an awesome female slide guitar check out Bonnie Raitt ☮️❤️😎

[@lorilxn1597]

He's so excellent in concert, seen him here in Iowa in 2018

[@thumpyloudfoot864]

That socket is a slide, the Hawaiian Violin, glassfinger, bottleneck, poor man's violin, bluegrass bow... if you want to see more of this listen to The Allman Brothers mainly the Duane Allman Anthology and also listen to Derek Trucks who is literally the Reincarnation of Duane Allman.... seriously

[@bella-xp7qd]

Elvin Bishop has his own Band. Song suggestions Mississippi Queen, Fooled Around and Fell In Love ( his backup singer Mickey Thompson sang the song because Elvin didn't think his voice suited the song. )

[@TheEricBooth]

Never saw this version of the song. Ol' George looks like he's about break down and start laughing.

[@carolynlittle6080]

Welcome to boogie music ❤️♥️❤️♥️🥰, so happy you liked it, please do more of his stuff, you’ll love it 🥰

[@hawks6973]

The thing on his finger I've always heard called a slide. It gives a different contact to the strings. I'm no where near Elvin, but I used one that was an empty beer bottle stuck over my finger and I sounded almost okay.

[@ronhall5395]

George is a story teller. He is also crazy! Love it.

[@CJBW]

You need to do “ Bad to the Bone”. You’ll love it. I just found you so maybe you’ve done it already. Also Meatloaf- Paradise by the Dashboard Light. Do it live performance. Like ur stuff!!

[@jennyferdixson7188]

I want to start with, I watch your channel and love it. Like most of these artists with their music change folks. You do this in a sense also. We can clearly see the good in you. The messages you say across these casts make us smile, frown or cry. We feel your emotions. This my friend is a rare talent like the artists you share... Thank you for for this. That all being said, I have a singer I'd love for you to react to.. Seth Anthony; Reckless. Your followers I believe would also love this. This reaction I'd love to see. Any Seth Anthony video honestly.

[@suedyment511]

Bad To The Bone , George is the Man

[@BarbaraJGeiger]

Love this one! Great reaction!

[@nickolasholt7137]

Back when the snow was pure. My Bois cold sweating it in Florida 😂😂😂 u

[@jeffwilcox5123]

Protects fingers and ceates differen cords and sound. then the sax and Drummer Killen it.

[@kestrelle5345]

He's Buh buh buh "Bad To The Bone"

[@braintrustslayton8755]

Its called a slide ... Used mostly in country music . See it on a slide guitar ( guitar that is laid down like a piano.)

[@gailspaw5521]

Love George❤

[@sandramiller6752]

It's on and popping 👍😀💯

[@trudywolfe2795]

Bad to the Bone...great George T. song 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@shirazzza]

Haha I've had the drinking game with this in a one long lock in. Still drank em all under the damn table haha. Bud tastes like rag water though, what's this lite beer all about then hey? We only drink proper beer here & sure as hell not Foster's which is strained dish water lol. Oh you want a story - have you done johnny cash a boy named Sue? Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺

[@mildredpierce4506]

the song was almost over before I realized who Elvin was. He played guitar on Fooled Around and Fell In Love.

[@MrDoderman]

Me and my wife saw them in 88 in ky. Awesome show.

[@JohnnyHawkins-mt9rc]

Never heard this version before I can dig it!

[@sylviafarese8837]

At 6:09, that’s a slide that is used to play slide guitar.

[@rodneypaul3035]

Just seen him a few nights ago.every bit as good as he ever was.

[@pamelalee1508]

That was quite the ride..lol... I don't drink but I have been a bartender...those types of orders are a heads up..we're going to have a wild night !... Check out slide guitars or steel guitars...I guess it's going on a hundred years since they started doing those sound effects...western and country used them a lot..and many still do... Catch you in the next videos Greg...🌿🌿🌿

[@thecrone7964]

Lonesome George and his big boots. Always a good time.

[@jamesdemarco7161]

He had a slide on his finger. It makes a different sound. It is the same concept as a video you did a few days back where Roy Clark used a drinking glass.

[@ann-marieblaney2552]

Saw George right before the pandemic, he is awesome and throws a local take on the show. Like he is doing her for New Jersey. He also has a guest but I don’t remember who it was🤦🏽‍♀️😂

[@glassontherocks]

They use wine bottle necks five eighths inch socket or anything that fits the finger.

[@alisablount4651]

Welcome to the music ❤

[@TaraWilson1010]

🧚‍♀️ that's a good one!! 🥰

[@anderslekander5508]

Check out his, bad to the bone, classic

[@stevecarlisle9974]

I just saw him live a few months ago here in Florida. He put on a fantastic show.

[@randyjohnson6960]

Chk out his song "Bad to the Bone"

[@pebblehilllane]

If you have reacted to Charlie Daniels Band "The South's Gonna Do It Again" there's a line that goes "Elvin Bishop sittin' on a bale of hay He ain't good lookin', but he sure can play" .. well, that's the same Elvin Bishop playing with George Thorogood.

[@robertphillips213]

This combo is what we call the Wrecking Ball and it'll mess you up like you just got hit by one, too. It's a nasty, doing some damage to numb me type combo.

[@AndICanTalk2]

That was fire for sure.

[@rhondajones5282]

Check out his Bad To The Bone.

[@nathanfisher1826]

Great showman

[@vidaquesegue2021]

good music to hit the road

[@Manvillebrady]

I saw him 4-times in concert and he was always a crowd pleaser. He played in the gym at SUNY Brockport State in the early 80's and the floor was heaving up and down so much, you could straighten your legs and get bounced off the floor. This was a good performance but if you're new to him, his original version is much better in my opinion.

[@andrewspoar535]

Elvin Bishop is an all-timer in his own right too. Check him out too

[@geoffsullivan7902]

This guy……story teller….❤️🎼❤️🤘😎

[@cindyv1401]

Makes a Slide Guitar sound ‼️💯

[@kevinbeaugez2769]

Old elvin with that slide

[@user-fz1vb9he1h]

The socket is a “Slide”.

[@MamawT65]

You can tell they are having a good time just jammin!

[@whoneedssantawhenthereisgr1724]

Fun song!

[@randyjohnson6960]

💖 George 🎼💖🕇

[@nigelpage6868]

It’s a slide on his finger, to get peddle guitar sound.

[@lindaaugone382]

Hey great reaction your face lights up and i even laugh when you do!

[@shawnplaisance1344]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@seansersmylie]

Classic!

[@shannonfox3351]

Thats s slide so that it slides up and down the neck like barre chords

[@jackiegoodspeed1849]

Never saw that live. Excellent choice. If you actually drank , " one bourbon, one scotch, and one beer everytime he sang it, lol.

[@cdfdesantis699]

Spendin' all the rent $$$ buyin' rounds in the bar. Studio version tells the story better, but we don't get to see Elvin Bishop & his "socket" slide makin' the guitar sing & whine. We see those used mostly on horizontal slide guitars. Couple of George's songs you might react to: "Who Do Ya Love?", & "Bad To The Bone", used in the soundtrack of the Stephen King movie, "Christine". Really, for yourself, check out the studio version of this one, & thanks for your reaction.

[@moekontze116]

my favourite is Magnolia.

[@Ronie792]

That’s a slide used a lot in blues delta

[@angusrocks939]

as said below, that socket 0n his finger is a slide.... wait for it.... you'll see what it does.

[@peggyshouse-gill8395]

That's a guitar slide. Makes it whine

[@jeffwilcox5123]

Saxaphone smoking it.

[@sandramiller6752]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🎶

[@goittoog7563]

Lonesome George and his Delaware Destroyers, Bad to the Bone.

[@helenbagoly9462]

So good to see another generation loving this music

[@tandaknights9047]

Not sure what the thing is called it allows them to slide across all the strings and gives you a bit of that "whine or whatever you call it"

[@JohnSalomon-ok9xb]

There's blues in there

[@susanharrah3462]

saw him couple of years ago he's still 👍

[@gailspaw5521]

❤❤❤❤❤🎉

[@JohnSalomon-ok9xb]

Love.. Look up Elvin Bishop

[@richardcranium5048]

Eldon Bishop sittin' on a bale of hay, he ain't good lookin', but he sure can play... Written by the late great Charlie Daniels 10:21

[@Joe-zz5sp]

It a blues slide bar

[@handmaidleah]

Blues slide

[@marygoodson4920]

That's called a "slide."

[@joshsheffield3820]

I love George Thorogood and the Delaware Destroyers!! But you gotta react to Meatloaf's music since he just passed this year. Start with "Paradise By The Dashboard Light". Also go back to Elvis and react to "Elvis in the Black Community"

[@damienmaynard8892]

Top performance...... now I'm thirsty! Good work!

[@kevinhenson6969]

Nope he got to have that bud 😃😃😃

[@richardcranium5048]

George was is a well rounded guy. He played some minor league ball, and was one of those guys always right there on the cusp of being called up. Granted it's not the bigs, but there are no lokes playing in even the farm league

[@randyjohnson6960]

Called a capo or kapo for the unique sound

[@arlaabrell8658]

Capo fits in the neck of the guitar to be able to change the tuning/key of the guitar without having to actually re-tune the strings.

[@Jason-hm9mh]

Hey bro check out knox Hill blame shady it's off the hook
