      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.

      I never felt cheated. ( unlike The Stones) I did get to see him & the Destroyers several times.
      Starting in 79. This is Rock n Roll stripped down to its core.
      R&B with a hard edge.

    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.

    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 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.

      80s kid here. We went to a George Thorogood concert back in eighty-something. He’s probably the only guy who sounds better in person than in the studio! Afterwards, we climbed into Mom’s 77 Caprice Classic, and shoved in a cassette. Since George’s guitar was still playing in our heads, the tape was just horrid. Punched the eject button, and drove home in silence (my ears where ringing). I hope you can understand my point, cause I just took a toke, and I might not even be making sense anymore. But I’ll tell ya one thing, the blues certainly is not dead. Come up to Fargo for the annual bluesfest, or whatever they call it. The blues are especially loved by guitar players. I remember how I felt when my friend taught me my first scale. After I could play that scale, I felt like B B King!

He drove that ol black checker car. He also helped and built baseball diamonds all around Newark DE. I last saw him live during this tour but at the Dell in Philly. Bad to the Bone fer sure, but a great guy. My wife surprised me with his autograph that year. I never told her we chatted once in a while in Kemblesville PA while making coffee.
