George Thorogood was my first concert. They opened for Twisted Sister? Sold my Quiet Riot tickets the next day and started down my new musical journey. 30+ years jazz/blues drummer and now a blues vocalist and guitarist. Thanks Mr Thorogood for sending me on the right path! You Turned a boy from Bangor, Maine (1984) into a blues musician.
I am amazed at how Joe has opened such a *BIG* door in my world, By introducing all these wonderful musicians and entertainers, and music…and best of all, A few years back, Joe himself was the first one through that door! ❤️.¸¸.☆
Joe you get some of the greatest musicians out there for your show. Bravo Joe. I am looking forward to seeing Mr bad to the bone on your show..thanks for bringing us the show..
Saw him at the Anvil Inn, Kennett Square in late '76. Just "The Delaware Destroyers". He wore a derby and played three sets of Chuck Berry tunes. There was no stage, just a floor. A genuine showman. On a blind date with a college girl from West Chester. She met up with her boyfriend and left with him. Her name was "Babs".
Nice episode, his was the standout performance for me a Live Aid watching from the UK as it came from nowhere for me, assumed they must be a huge deal in the US at the time but the energy just blew everyone away.
So the first time I saw Joe was opening for BB at 12 and the second time George brought you out on stage I think about the same time and my wife and I were jaw dropped agog... I'm so sorry I'm not in Phoenix tonight... but I am getting a blow by blow from a friend who is! If I can score a ticket for tomorrow night I will be there!
Have seen George several times, but saw him in a bar in Fort Collins one night, and he melted the paint…. Only concert I have ever left feeling beaten up and exhausted…
Bad to the bone...babababaaad! Babababaaad ! I wanna be yours pretty baby, yours and yours alone...:) This is how I will always remember George Thorogood, through that classic and iconic song...:)
Hey Joe , as a drummer I love watching these video's , it gives us mortals insight on what's going on with various artist's history and thier real persona !! Thanks and keep up the great work !!!
When George referred to Jeff Beck and tom Jones playing Howling Wolf was on PBS series about blues, the episode was British Blues and I believe it was directed by Scorsese
One of the best gigs I've ever been to: George and the Destroyers at the Town Hall, Auckland, New Zealand in the late '70's, where he was popular long before he made it back home in the USA. (His 1st 2 albums were released on Rounder, an Australian label.) I was one of the 300+ who stormed the stage and joined the band for the encore.(George and the band stood on the drummer's podium.) Security turned all the lights, on but there was no chance of crowd control, as there wasn't anyone sat down in the whole venue. "The crowd went wild!!!"
Cool video! I just caught George Thorogood playing a local gig almost in my backyard in sw PA. He can draw a crowd on short notice and he is still such a great musician and entertainer!
I saw George Thorogood in Portland, Or the month that he first appeared on SNL the concert in Portland was canceled and I had to make a return trip for the concert a week or two later and it was reserve seating theater. The warm-up band was setting up when we got to our seats, shortly after we got comfortable George came out to the mic and made his apologies to us, and told the warm-up band that they could take the night off because he was going to play the whole night and he proceeded to burn the place down. I will never forget it he played for 3 1/2 hours it was awesome. Great memory.
Great conversation as usual with Joe. George is a beast and deserves more discussion for what he's done for guitar rock history. Delaware Slide is my go-to jam!
I’ve loved my Epiphone Sorrento for 25 years because I wanted a guitar like George’s ES-125. I bought a honey burst Epiphone Les Paul so I could copy JB. I was going through my old baseball cards last week and have all the players they talked about. Serendipity! Great Nerdville!!!
You are very much welcome, My heart is filled with joy knowing that I am blessed with the best fans thanks for commenting,I received and appreciate the feedback! where are you from??
... I saw George on Live Aid as well - live. From thousands of miles away, the first chord was already hooking you up to his high-speed train. So cool to see you guys remember it as well. Who else?
It’s about time we see The Man back on the scene again. He never left us. The trends change, and blues was pushed kind of underground for awhile, but you’ll have a hard time finding someone who doesn’t know at least one of his iconic tunes. He’s humble, about being a “mortal” player, doing the best he can, and he’s real, and personable, relatable. A huge part of my youth as a young player. He’s a totally under rated player, but Joe is right,just those little fills in between lyrics, we’re just bad ass nasty gritty and slick. GT is an OG legend period! Can’t believe he’s playing epiphones now, he’s a workin class guy he should know how losing our manufacturing devastated our working middle class families. Hopefully they’re making his in the USA. He should IMO move it on over to Heritage, and get his real guitar back.. What an endorsement that would be…. I’m just chatting don’t rip into me my brothers.
I really enjoyed this. I did not know George was so instrumental in your career. How cool. I really liked what George said about being an entertainer. Getting ready to go out and play and working my way thru set lists I needed to hear that. I think I've been getting a little too wound up about it all. Time to laugh some. Right? Thanks Joe.
Early 80's, Rolling Stones in Buffalo. George opened and rocked the house. The crowd loved it. Then Journey came on. No knock on Journey, but their style just let the air out of the room. People headed for the rest rooms. Then the Stones came on. Gale force winds destroying the stage decorations. The Stones were killer.
They mention the British guys but not the simultaneous Chicago/USA guys like butterfield, Bloomfield, musselwhite, mandel, canned heat with Henry vestine and alan Wilson, Steve Miller, Siegel schwall. Blues project with danny kalb and al kooper
My heart is filled with joy knowing that I am blessed with the best fans thanks for commenting,I received and appreciate the feedback! where are you from?
Talking baseball. I liked the quote of, Yogi Berra, "It's the only game where all your trying to do is get home safe". Damn Joe, really like your music, but these interviews are running a close second.
HARD TO WATCH JOE, always watch and love your content Joe but never commented until now. have always liked George but it's bittersweet. back on Feb. 28th 2009 on a Saturday night George had a gig at the Blue chip casino here in northern Indiana and my best friend Darren who had just started seeing a gal after a terrible divorce and was starting to feel better about life had asked me if i wanted to go to the show with them, but i declined as i would have felt like a third wheel on their date together. Darren was always a big GT fan as well and was stoked to go to the gig. sadly after the gig while he was taking his new girl home they were rear ended by a drunk driver and he was ejected from the vehicle and died very early the following morning. So it's some what bittersweet when i hear or play GT music as it reminds of the loss of my best friend, but i know he loved music as much as i do and loved going to that show. keep up the great content brother! \m/ \m/
I sometimes wonder if we're living in an altered time-line. I remember, quite distinctly, that George died of colon cancer 10-15 years ago or so. Now that, evidently, this isn't the case, it might be a good idea for you to have that checked out, George.
My heart is filled with joy knowing that I am blessed with the best fans thanks for commenting,I received and appreciate the feedback! where are you from?
Great interview as always Joe. I thought George cut you off a lot and you are a natural at stopping mid thought and mid sentence to let him speak. I've been mesmerized by One bourbon, one scotch, one beer for decades. George should allow you to finish your thoughts because we want to hear you too. It annoyed me enough that I couldn't finish. Still, you could quit your day job because you are that good. Nah, don't quit your day job.
Hei…. Hei…,George “T”… audacious.. suPearlative… entertainer!!! Luv.. Luv ..,’em…Kamahaʻo…to the measure… follow career .. & Destroyers ….kept kamailio interesting… Salute’ 2 U “Sir George”… ke nānā aku nei GOOD!! Ma Oni’ … Ma Pono…☀️🌊🌴🏖❤️

Still listening to George and his band! Well, the evening is nearly over,
But I just can't stop dancing! ❤️.¸¸.☆

Been listening to Thorogood's music.
Goodness, can't help dancing! 💃 💃 💃

Fortunate enough to have seen George in early 80's in Alabama for first time. Great show and much respect.
Soooo good
Awesomeee again JOE❤️ George is real good musician🌹💕🌹
Really enjoyable dynamic between these two monsters of blues rock.
Thank you Joe for all you do for your fans and all that love the Blues!
We appreciate you.

George Thorogood is the John Force of guitar!
You are great musicians!
Hey Joe , as a drummer I love watching these video's , it gives us mortals insight on what's going on with various artist's history and thier real persona !! Thanks and keep up the great work !!!
I looooove George
Thanks for the video
I bought so many of those CDs and gave them to DJs so they would play them while I drank in the clubs. And never saw those CDs again! Good times. ❤️💭
When George referred to Jeff Beck and tom Jones playing Howling Wolf was on PBS series about blues, the episode was British Blues and I believe it was directed by Scorsese
I love hearing George talk about Beck and Tom Jones
Tom Jones is a seriously underrated vocalist,ill find that PBS show clip later :)
I loved hearing two guitarists geek out about baseball. George had some good observations about Pete Rose.
Can’t wait for the cruise in February 2022!

This was just fantastic!
I saw that rock and roll party show with Beck and Imelda may!!
I’ve loved my Epiphone Sorrento for 25 years because I wanted a guitar like George’s ES-125. I bought a honey burst Epiphone Les Paul so I could copy JB. I was going through my old baseball cards last week and have all the players they talked about. Serendipity! Great Nerdville!!!
I think I’m becoming a NERDVILLE addict. Another interesting and entertaining interview. Thanks Joe.

Very Cool. Thanks Joe and George. Awesome
Wow Joe great podcast you made me feel at home!!✌🇺🇸
... I saw George on Live Aid as well - live. From thousands of miles away, the first chord was already hooking you up to his high-speed train. So cool to see you guys remember it as well. Who else?
This was an awesome interview. George is a very entertaining guy. As far as blues musicians who are funny on stage, no one is funnier than Tab Benoit.
Really enjoyed that guys! Some great tips and advice! Thank you for sharing your stories good stuff 😎😁😎
Great interview thanks 😄
Love my Madison Blues and Gear Jammer
George is a national treasure.
Joe does these because he loves interviewing artists...not for the the sake of content!💓🎸💓🎸
“How Sweet it Is!!”

Saw both of you in Chattanooga. Sat in the seats in the third row.
Would be cool to see of you on a tour together.
Bonsoir de Belgium ,Jo et George . Votŕe invité se trouve depuis longtemps dans ma playlist.A bientôt à Anvers (april).A+ 🐦🌹Charline
@Joe Bonamassa gardening and walk🐦🌹
Enjoyed!
George says " I'm playing epiphones now". Joe's eyes fall out of his head and roll across the floor. I think he was genuinely shocked!
JOE BONAMASSA IS A DOUCHE BLUES
ruclips.net/video/yfjt9VakUrY/видео.html&start_radio=1
Great interview....
Would love Joe interview Robin Trower
I saw GT and the Destroyers at Sunfest in WPB many many years ago. Great concert.
Early 80's, Rolling Stones in Buffalo. George opened and rocked the house. The crowd loved it. Then Journey came on. No knock on Journey, but their style just let the air out of the room. People headed for the rest rooms. Then the Stones came on. Gale force winds destroying the stage decorations. The Stones were killer.
Nice work!!!
SOOO Cool!
Hi Joe
Just found your channel
Been busy with work
Great to see you
Great to see you George
A big fan of your music
There's not enough commercials during this great interview. Can you please put more?
No one is breaking that hit record ever I thought Gywn was going to but he faded Pete was a machine hit hit hit hit!
This man puts on one hell of a show 😎❤
@Joe Bonamassa just fine thank you for asking and I see you are doing very well keep it going
@Joe Bonamassa indeed
@Joe Bonamassa 5years
@Joe Bonamassa no sorry just hangouts
Thorogood is underrated for sure.
Greetingz cuzinz, I'll see if I can make it, I'm cooking lunch right now
🔥🧙♂️👍
Tom Jones did a straight blues album a while back. It was awesome. Totally authentic.
There's a section of this where I was thinking "This should be called _Live from Cooperstown_ " 🙂
I wish Joe would have ask..Did you crank tweed twins in the studio back in the 80's
Charlie hustle is the greatest of all time
They mention the British guys but not the simultaneous Chicago/USA guys like butterfield, Bloomfield, musselwhite, mandel, canned heat with Henry vestine and alan Wilson, Steve Miller, Siegel schwall. Blues project with danny kalb and al kooper

I SAW A VIDEO of tom Jones singing Still alive and well, 1 of winters songs
🎸🎼🎶
I'd love to see Joe interview,say Michael Hampton, Tom Hamilton, David Hidalgo, David Johansen, Dana Fuchs
Talking baseball. I liked the quote of, Yogi Berra, "It's the only game where all your trying to do is get home safe". Damn Joe, really like your music, but these interviews are running a close second.

Enjoyed guys, the wolf, waters, why doesn't enyone ever mention Eddie House James, he's a giant. Respect and stay healthy all.

Upsets me how you have a rock hall of fame without PAUL RODGERS in it place should not be open without him in it ,it's a joke!
NO DIRECTION.....
Joe, cut out the sports chat. I'm English and have NO IDEA what or who these US sports teams are. Gimme music, isn't that why we're here??
The world doesn't revolve around your interests Barry, I hope Joe reads this bc he will certainly think you're an ass hole.
