I handed a joint of some Afghani to George Thorogood at a concert in 1978 he was playing at as he stood on stage in front of me playing his guitar , he took a hit did a backwards flip came back up without missing a beat handed the joint back to me . I motion'd to him to pass it to the rest of his band , so he said we'er taking a short break and he left the stage when the song was over of coarse about maybe 10 minutes later they came back out on stage and said this ones for Oregon " THE GREEN STATE " came back over to me while playing his guitar and passed what was left of the joint which was a little over a quarter of it and gave me a nod with a big grin . George is a really cool dude .
George is a badass. "I Drink Alone" "Who do You Love" and "Get a Haircut" are all great songs, and of course "Bad to the Bone" probably his biggest hit.
@@sck4070 That's an interesting choice, lol. My dance with my Dad was Billy Joel's Goodnight My Angel, which is a very sweet song he wrote to his daughter as a lullaby. First dance with the husband was Your Song by Elton John
George really does sound this good live, I have seen him and he is great and has so much energy, a really fun performer. Elvin Bishop is a guitar god. He is about 78 now so I don't know if he is still performing, I saw him live A L-O-N-G time ago and there are no words.
George Thorogood is all party, and is ranked as a top guitarist by other guitarists like Stevie Ray Vaughn etc. I am so excited you did a George Thorogood. Great reaction !!!!
I had the pleasure of seeing him decades ago. It was really kind of strange because unlike most rock bands he didn't have any of those mind blowing songs like Free Bird or Stairway to Heaven, you know what I mean. But he and his band had more fun than I had ever seen a band have. And it carried over to the audience. I also heard several interviews with him on a local radio station and he always came off as very humble.
@Ron S I was a kid of a mere 6,7, or 8 years old and on the last day of school our bus driver put up a boom box and blasted Bad to the Bone and when we left the bus he gave us gum ( not really good gum but still )..... Oh yeah his name was Dave
He’s sweating so much because being under those lights is hot. And the “story” part is part of the song, I’d suggest listening to the album version, as he customized the song for the location here and I assume other live shows, so you can hear what it’s supposed to sound like.
Agreeing with Brian, modern stage lights are different, especially since LED tech came around. Stage lights between the 60's to the mid 90's were crazy hot, so there were a lot of sweaty musicians. Now that doesn't mean it wasn't a booze and drug filled bonanza (it was), just that it was usually the venue making them sweat, not the coke lol
Johnny Lee Hooker’s is the original and best. You would love him. Another Mississippi Delta Blues legend, he has so many hits. ‘Boom, Boom’, the original and a great version with ZZ Top. ‘I’m Bad Like Jesse James’, ‘Crawlin King Snake’, and ‘Shake It Baby’. He’s baaaad in the best way!
I'm getting a contact drunk off my past from listening to this and the memories of playing pool to a full boat of George playing for hours, then repeating. The best music for a pool hall ever.
I remember being in my early 20's, out at some beach shack bar here in Florida and this song came on the jukebox (yes.... the jukebox). And when it got to the part where he sings "One bourbon, one scotch, one beer", the entire BAR sang it... every single time. Good times, man. Good times.
Saw him number of years ago. Dude put on a 2 1/2 hour show and it was so much fun. I mean it was FUN!! Everyone there left exhausted but with smiles. Some people just know how to entertain.
@ Mr.Video Slides are also made of long lasting materials such as glass, and of course, metal. The glass ones make for a cooler look and a crisper, finer sound. 😊❤🤘🤘
One of the only reactors who I dont care when he pauses... this man should be on prime time TV... funny, got good voice and a real personality... modern day variety show, lol
Mr. Video! George is a bad ass in R&R! George invented rap that don’t rhyme. He started in early 70s. Very heavily guitar jive boogie style. Kind of tongue in cheek lyrics. Great concerts with a lot of drunk people. He sings a lot about drinking. In 1982 his Bad To The Bone album and singles really defined his rock identity. Just a fun guy that makes fun music. Btw... the sweating is from the lights. Above the concert stage, there is a whole city of lights and there are lighting technicians up there making sure the light are focused on the singer, or a guitar player doing a solo...etc. Now it’s preprogrammed and they have huge fans on stage to keep them cooler. I’ve been in front row, it’s hot up there. We could feel it off stage. Thank you ❤️
My 34 year old son has heard this one since he was a teeny baby. He likes it and he also likes George's "I drink alone". Leo, you've given me today's smile 😁
I recall being blown away that Elvin was not the lead singer of that song, but the fire-hot guitarist. I was very young when the song came out and it was well before MTV. 🙂
@@gilbertdimas9415 Oh man. This is crazy. I have known two Gilbert Dimases in my life. One was the ex of one of my best friends in Guernsey, Wyoming, the other, her son. 😁
A friend and I ordered that combo one time just to troll our neighborhood bartender - who rightly considered us dorks - but George knows what he's talking about. That three-hit combo does as advertised: makes you feel real loose and forget all about your late rent.
ROFL! The idea of a band getting ready to do a gig and the guitarist losing his guitar slide before the show. "Hand me that 9/16th mm deep well socket over there!"
He played at the Colorado State Fair back in 1980 I was there my uncle's took me because my mom actually has a tape recorder of me when I was three or four years old singing bad to the Bone LOL I think it's a great live show
We saw George at the Oregon State Fair back in the 1990's, later we hit a local bar and George and his crew came in, ask the owner if they could play, and played until closing as we all partied all night. George is the real deal.
One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer. Looks like the man was careful to ensure all 3 of his meals were strong health choices that day. Must've received advanced food group pyramid training.
Oh I also like how George got the essence of the blues in that it was a story and he would stop his song to talk about his life as that is what the blues is. Talking about your life and your struggles. Music is universal and don't let anybody tell you different. It is one of the ways we can all relate by listening and trying to understand. Love it.
Damn it. Another intelligent heartfelt reaction channel listening to the music I grew up with. Don't y'all realize I got to get up tomorrow and log into my work from home COVID19 computer and look like I'm working?? How the HELL am I supposed to do that when you keep me up all night re-living my youth with this shit? HUH?
George was my dads favorite musician before he passed. Thank you for reacting to this. You should try "get a haircut and get a real job." His personal favorite 😂
So the guitarist played with what's called a slide. It's usually made of brass, or glass, or ceramic, or some other metal. Its allows you to slide up and down to different notes. Popular in blues music, slide guitar is a pretty different technique than normal guitar. If you want to hear what others can do with this style, check out people like Justin Johnson, Robert Johnson, Ry Cooder, Duane Allman, as well as George Thorogood himself. He's a pretty cool slide guitarist.
@@Terri6868 yea but I wouldn't really consider it something they're known for. Obviously stuff like Tie Your Mother and In my Time Of Dying use them prominently, but it's not really the first thing you think of.
John Lee Hooker - One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer.... and actually Amos Milburn did it first but the John Lee Hooker is where this version is influenced by.
I love watching your reaction!! 9/16 Millimeter, I like the way you used both standard measurement and the metric system you had me crying.... Keep up the good work my man !!
This is such a great song. I always liked ole George. Considering this was the 80's, there's certainly every possibility he was on coke, but the fact that he's sweating doesn't really mean anything. Stages get really, really hot. Between the amps and the people and the lights, you're going to sweat. And that thing that looks like a socket wrench is a guitar slide.
Great as always man and to answer that question about why they sweat so much, it's because the show lights make it really hot and this was filmed in the summer to begin with. The lights are really hot, if it's 85 out it's 110 on stage.
Oh man THANK YOU for hanging with ol' Lonesome George. His band is the Delaware Destroyers -- that's who he referred to. He was alllll over the central east coast in the 80s and my friends and I partied down listening to him. He's all about the live shows -- saw him 3 or 4 times, every one lots of improv and sweaty fun. Kinda can't listen to him now since he's so boorish about women but lots of memories!!! Thanks again!!!
Hey Mr.V, love how you ❤ everybody in your comments. Your audience notices and appreciates you more for it. Thanks for always making me smile and laugh. Having a 🚬 with you in 🇨🇦 eh 😆🤗❤
One of his many contributions to the film, "Animal House" (which cast then girlfriend, Karen Allen as Boone's HS sweetheart)is his amazing scene with John Belushi smashing his guitar!
@@lisacaron7224 well, I'd be one too if I wrote a 10 minute song about booze, and it made me rich from kids who wanted to be cool and bad buying the shit out the single!
That is SO FUNNY! 30 seconds before you said he must be on the cocaine, I was watching his face, his energy level, and how animated his eyeballs were and I told myself, "Dude's on cocaine big time!" Almost all the 80s bands were on coke. Coke was all over the place back then. Listen to some of the older celebrities talk about it - how people would be cutting lines and snorting on restaurant tables right out in the open. Crazy!!!
They sweat because of the hot lights and the temperature inside the clubs they played in. Plus, when you drink a lot of booze, you retain water and sweat more, so there’s that, too 😂
1986 or 1987 my very first concert. Such a good time, entire audience singing along! You weren't even born yet! At least you're learning your variety of rock music now
I must have heard this song late at night on KMET sometime in 1977. I was lying in bed and this song came on (the studio version) and my mind was simply blown!!! We fuckin' loved that song!!
I got to see George Thorogood and ZZ TOP at the same concert in the early 1990s. I can't wait until we can have concerts again. You look like you have a good time when you go to shows. "By this time, George is wasted." 12 shots and 6 beers will put the heaviest drinkers to sleep. It's a blues song from the fifties George and the Delaware Destroyers put a funky party spin on when they were a bar band playing 5-6 hours a night.
You gotta check out some Robin Trower. Very underrated guitarist from the 70's, and he's still jamming. Too Rolling Stoned and Bridge of Sighs are a must... Smoke up! Cheers.
This band was one of the opening acts for a Rolling Stones concert I atteneded in Los Angeles along with other opening acts of J. Geils and Prince. George rocked the whole stadium and this was one of the songs he did along with Bad To The Bone. It is hot under those lights and who knows how many other songs he has already done that night. Stop being a buzz kill, let him have his drinks.
Why is he sweating.... it’s a Fourth of July concert, probably outside at some fairgrounds. Also this is a late in the show maybe even an encore song, so you are seeing him AFTER over an hour of up tempo performance
George is the real deal Holyfied. For real. I love George my daddy listened to all kinds of blues, all kinds of music really, and he loved George. Love that ya'll youngsters are finding this amazing music.
To get a true Blues sound you need a classically designed “hollow body” or “semi-acoustic “ electric guitar and those things are big and heavy. Blues played on a modern solid body electric guitar just isn’t pitched right.....
I saw him many many years ago, it was a great show.. although I'm sure he had more than one bourbon, one scotch and one beer...... I'm pretty sure he was wasted..... lol
I handed a joint of some Afghani to George Thorogood at a concert in 1978 he was playing at as he stood on stage in front of me playing his guitar , he took a hit did a backwards flip came back up without missing a beat handed the joint back to me . I motion'd to him to pass it to the rest of his band , so he said we'er taking a short break and he left the stage when the song was over of coarse about maybe 10 minutes later they came back out on stage and said this ones for Oregon " THE GREEN STATE " came back over to me while playing his guitar and passed what was left of the joint which was a little over a quarter of it and gave me a nod with a big grin . George is a really cool dude .
Cool ❤️
Cool 😎
This is exactly what I'd expect from him hahaha
I remember the "Afghani" we got on the coast in the late 70's, real sticky and it was a creeper bud, it would hit you twice....
I saw him and Johnny Winter opened for him. Those men put on a show and I think they were more wasted than I was.
George is a badass. "I Drink Alone" "Who do You Love" and "Get a Haircut" are all great songs, and of course "Bad to the Bone" probably his biggest hit.
Grew up listening to Thorogood, lol. This and "Bad to Bone" and "I Drink Alone".
My nieces first dance with her dad at her wedding was *Bad to The Bone*
@@sck4070 That's an interesting choice, lol. My dance with my Dad was Billy Joel's Goodnight My Angel, which is a very sweet song he wrote to his daughter as a lullaby. First dance with the husband was Your Song by Elton John

Bad to the Bone. You gotta do that one. It will become your theme song.
AGREED!
And Move It On Over.

A must ! I agree!!
I love your reactions, they make an old woman smile. and the little jiggle you do when you really get into a song is awesome
You are the only one out there that has finally played OL’ George..... thank you 🙏 .....
I think Andy & Alex, college students react, did it on one of their Drunk Reaction nights, but it was a while ago.
Ikr😍
George getting tore up from the floor up.

"I Drink Alone" is a banger.
Yep I'd suggest you listen to the studio version so you know what happens in the story. Props for playing George. You are an original.
Listen to the original by black blues musician John Lee Hooker. Then you will get the full vibe of the song.
Love it!!
Yes the John Lee Hooker version is classic Blues. This guy had one Bourbon, one Scotch and one speedball
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Both are good but Hooker is the original
Yep...in this song he even collected "my John Lee Hooker albums" before he walked out the house w/ the rent money!!
A party wasn’t complete without this song back in the day 😛👍🏼
Elvin Bishop is killing it on the guitar. You would loooovvee “ Fooled Around and Fell in Love” with Mickey Thomas singing lead.
Lmao The "slide" is a common accessory that guitarists use when playing BLUES. Fun times! 😊❤🤘🤘
@ Mr.Video
Slides are also made of long lasting materials such as glass, and of course, metal. The glass ones make for a cooler look and a crisper, finer sound. 😊❤🤘🤘

Did you enjoy the show though?
Maybe we went to the same concert.
It's a mashup of House Rent Blues and One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer by John Lee Hooker. Brilliant combo of those two songs!
Makes me want to watch the move "Christine"!! LOVE that movie. You should watch that movie!
That is SO FUNNY! 30 seconds before you said he must be on the cocaine, I was watching his face, his energy level, and how animated his eyeballs were and I told myself, "Dude's on cocaine big time!"

You ain’t gonna EVER go wrong with George Thorogood. Best live guitar performance I’ve ever seen - bar none.
The studio version is waaaaay better. He's hilarious. You might want to try Move it on Over, Bad to the Bone, I Drink Alone and Who do You Love?
George been blasted for near a month by the end of the song. Each time the chorus comes back more time has passed at the bar.
You gotta check out some Robin Trower. Very underrated guitarist from the 70's, and he's still jamming. Too Rolling Stoned and Bridge of Sighs are a must... Smoke up! Cheers.
He's excellent in concert! So much fun with everybody singing & joining in! One of the best audience participation concerts. FUN FUN FUN
George was a Professional partier and drinker. He could play too.
😍
Yesssss!!! I LOVE George Thorogood! We used to cruise around getting nigh and listening to his music cranked up loud.
This band was one of the opening acts for a Rolling Stones concert I atteneded in Los Angeles along with other opening acts of J. Geils and Prince. George rocked the whole stadium and this was one of the songs he did along with Bad To The Bone. It is hot under those lights and who knows how many other songs he has already done that night. Stop being a buzz kill, let him have his drinks.
J.Geils😍
I would love a time machine right now. Id kill to see this concert
Why is he sweating.... it’s a Fourth of July concert, probably outside at some fairgrounds. Also this is a late in the show maybe even an encore song, so you are seeing him AFTER over an hour of up tempo performance
It's at the capitol theater in Passaic nj with the lights and wearing that leather (?) jacket it'd be pretty hot.
Nope
It's called cooooooocaine
George is the real deal Holyfied. For real. I love George my daddy listened to all kinds of blues, all kinds of music really, and he loved George. Love that ya'll youngsters are finding this amazing music.
Do Elvin Bishop I Fooled Around and Fell In Love 👍
I am so happy I found this !!! I just seen the other one and requested this. Had I scrolled down I’d have seen it. Hahaha. Thank you!!
Muddy Waters -" Champagne & Reefer" I think You might like this song
Subbed and liked because this review was just as good as the performance lmao. Gotta love the blues my man🤙🏻
Bad to the bone or I drink alone
😍😍😍
I think you mean " I drink alone"
I hate auto correct
Your reactions are priceless! 💚🐸
To get a true Blues sound you need a classically designed “hollow body” or “semi-acoustic “ electric guitar and those things are big and heavy. Blues played on a modern solid body electric guitar just isn’t pitched right.....
Let me guess.. your white.
I grew up with his music glad to see the younger generation taking a liking to it. This was the kind of music we all wanted to play in high school.
I saw him many many years ago, it was a great show.. although I'm sure he had more than one bourbon, one scotch and one beer...... I'm pretty sure he was wasted..... lol
George thorogood is an amazing showman and talent
Listen to his song Bad To The Bone next 👌, also Elvin Bishop is a legend
Yes. From Tulsa. I remember those early days.........
He’s the shit for sure. My dad loves him. Grew up listening to tons of this.
