    One of the best shows I’ve ever seen was The Stray Cats! Their live show was all the rockin’ anyone could ever want!

    I've seen both George Thorogood and Brian Setzer in concert. Great performers!

    Always impressed by George Thorogood . His first album with the Destroyers is one of my absolute favorites ! Love Eddie Cochran as well…one of the very pioneers of electric guitar…All the players you feature here are a perfect little list.,

    You had me hooked when you started with George. I've never seen him live, but have watched dozens of his live videos. A great thrill for him was when he bought on his daughter who was 13 I think at the time. She rocked and did Daddy proud.
    You mentioned Dave Edmunds when you talked about Brian.. Wow, Love Sculpture and Nick Lowe. He was a great musician. One of his greatest achievements was when he and his neighbour, George Harrison, arranged a celebration for Carl Perkins and his 50th anniversary in the business. Then they jammed with Carl. What a stage. George, Brian, Dave, Joanna Cash, Ringo Starr, Eric Clapton. Carl had more than a few tears after playing Blue Suede Shoes with that group.
    Finishing the video with Scottie. Great video.
    Merci beaucoup.

    Top notch video...thank you. I still hope to see George Thorogood some day. One of my fav's all time. Brian Setzer is amazing. I always wanted to see him live. My wonderful wife picked up tickets for his Christmas show some years ago as a graduation gift...simply wow for the show. A true all time classic. Scotty Moore...to break the mold, the mold must be first created... 'nuff said.

    Thanks for the video Doc!

      Sleepy Labeef does a rockabilly version of it and it absolutely burns. It came out in 1960 I believe.

    Great video and content as usual and I mean that in the highest complementary way. I’ve loved George Thorogood since the 70s and regret never having seen him. My stereo speakers always went to 11 when his songs came on! thank you again for a job well done!

    Love Thorogood, always have and Rounder is who I look for because they give new artist a chance. In concert he still plays like a fresh faced kid. It's like you made this video for my 61yr old arse.

    Dickie Betts said they had Thorogood on tour with them for a while and at night one time they went out and jammed after a concert. Dickie said he was surprised to find out that Thorogood could not jam. I'd seen him in concert and was surprised to hear that. But I guess maybe it meant he couldn't jam at Dickie's level.

    Thank you for making this great doc and exposing the great music and artists. Well done script, timeline flow and editing.
    We have to keep this music going and have the younger crowd exposed and understand the reasons why this all stands out.
    Cheers. If any interest you can check out my deep docs.

    Wow, roughly $5400 in 2024 dollars. I didn't have that much in any vehicle that I'd owned until 2004. That was a tool for a craftsman.

    Sadly I saw Thorogood in 84 at a Chicago show and it was terrible. Just one of those things. I can't believe you did not say boogie woogie once. John Lee Hookers guitar boogie is everything, the total foundation of his thing.

    • @ramblerdave1339
      @ramblerdave1339 15 дней назад

      Every time I saw him, first tour on, he was great....until he got the saxophone player, who thought that sax was a rythm instrument, instead of filler. You couldn't hear George's lead guitar solos because of the sax. That was the sixth, and last time, I saw him live. 😢 Oh, yeah, as a Detroiter, I'm with you on the John Lee Hooker influence!
