    I saw his show in 1978 in a nightclub in St.Ann Mo. I was 18 then. The club only sat maybe 150-200 so we went and bought tickets early in the day as we knew it would sell out. At the 8pm showtime the doorman cards me and says I gotta be 21 to get in. I said " TJ said it's OK". He said"who the hells TJ" ? I slapped a a twenty dollar bill in his palm and he smoothly rolled his hand around with his finger pointing to go in. We were 3 ft from the stage. Best concert of my life.

    George and the Destroyers are legends. Refreshingly unpretentious, down to earth music, played with passion and for the enjoyment for the audience. Its honest, good, decent, blue coller, working class music. True blues.

    I've had the pleasure of touring in a support act with GTD in the late 00's. The entire outfit (band and crew) are a total class act and super down to earth. They treated us like one of their own, with everybody just enjoying being out on the road working hard. George is quite a character and very well spoken. I got to know him a little and eventually felt comfortable chatting casually. I asked him if he ever got tired of Bad to the Bone after all these years, and he lit up like a little kid "absolutely not! I love that song every time because the fans love it so much" It was a genuine answer from a genuine great guy. Nice to see this documentary!

I remember working my first job at Pizza Hut in around 86 or 87 BAD to the Bone was in the Jukebox and I would play it after closing and singing along making my older coworkers laugh. Just the other day I saw one of them I haven't seen in years and that was the first thing she said to me. That was her highlight of working with me there Lol. Long live GTD🤙

    i had the pleasure of seeing GEORGE play at the Catalyst in Santa Cruz California with a couple of buddies of mine. We were on the floor about 6 rows back from the stage. George finished his set and some of the people left after the first encore. what they didn't know is that George played 5 encores that night. By the time it was over i was in the first row on his last and final encore. After he was done he threw his guitar pick into the crowd and i caught it. To this day i have here on display on the wall in my room. GEORGE was great that night and i will never ever forget.

I saw him a few years back at the Ventura county fair. He and his hasn’t t lost a beat. George still treats his band with huge respect on the scale of things and tears it up. A stand up dude. That’s the blues baby!

      Ha...So true. I saw them about 10-15years ago. Wow, what a show. Usually bands do either of 2 things, one play tight, just like the record, or, are organic loose and maybe even improvise a little (very hard to nail that). The only other band besides them that was ever able to do both was the Allman BB with Dickey Betts. Two of the best shows I ever seen.

    George and his crew stayed for a week at a hotel where i did room service in Halifax NS in about 1982, not sure exactly. I served them breakfast and lunch for a week in their rooms. They were fun and kind the whole time. They performed their show on the last night of their stay and played for 3 1/2 hours. I was alone in his room with George when he was on the phone talking about writing writing his own songs, I came in with an order and he waved me to sit down until he was done on his call seemingly because he didn’t want to be rude.

    I am pretty sure George remembers playing the Chadd's Ford Tavern in the late 70's. My friends and I would go there every Thursday evening, and usually, the band was there. I must have gone and seen the band 50 times. Big time hooked. I will never forget the vibe, everyone dancing, a small rock club/bar with George playing standing on top of a table, guitar behind his head, and all the early classic songs. As a music fan I knew i was seeing something special.. Example, thanks to WMMR, I saw Springsteen before he even released his first album) (at the Main Point), another special moment. A special band is a special pub, lucky me.

    I saw the Destroyers on tour at Candlestick Park in San Francisco as the opener for Stones on their Tattoo You tour in 1981. George really got the crowd fired up as the opener, with J Geils playing right behind him. I already had all his albums at that point and was thrilled to see him play live.
    That day was filled with badass boogie woogie, brothers and sisters. For six hours. Those were the heydays of the Bill Graham mega-shows in the Bay Area.
    True story: Van Halen opened for the Stones at their next gig, in Orlando. Two weeks after that, it was ZZ Top.

    Saw George and band perform a few years and they were GREAT. Walking out after the show, I heard a young man say, "He's my new favorite guitarist." Good to see GT&D are still rockin'.

    I bought a tenor saxophone when I was 18 because of these guys & played in bands for years - I remember the movie Christine by Stephen King & the song bad to the bone came on & it is one of those tunes where you just go "Fuck yes"
    & his version of no particular place to go by Chuck Berry was another gem, one of only a few artists who could do justice to a cover - the other is SRV with Hendrix's Vodoo Child & Come On

    One weeknight evening in '76-'77, my cousin/roommate called me and asked what I was doing right then. Nothing, I replied. He said, you gotta get down here RIGHT NOW. 'Here' was the Turk's Head Tavern in West Chester, PA. About 15 minutes later I walked through the front door and into a wall of sound coming out of a solo electric guitar. I sat down at the bar with my cousin and the bartender, and the three of us (and only us three as I recall) spent what now seems like the next couple hours listening to Lonesome George playing in the back room, alone, apparently doing an extended sound check and as if he were playing to a packed stadium. Before moving out of the area in early '78 I saw him again in the most packed dance hall I've ever been in, in Kennett Square. My ears were ringing for days after that night.

    spring 1987 my best buddy let me borrow his bada$$ 83 Mustang GT with T-tops to drive to the my senior prom. there was nothing better than arriving to the prom dropping off my Date at the door with George and the Destroyers pumpin Bad to the Bone. it was seriously planned for months. this song which i first heard and saw on Mtv was my introduction to the blues. i was hooked for life. To this day i have a George and the Destroyers CD in my Jeep at all times, and SRV too. Thank you to George and the boys for many great memories every time i hear your music👍

    One of the most exciting concerts I went to was in about 1998 or 1999 in Dallas, Texas, when George and The Destroyers were in concert with ZZ Top. Perfection. Absolute live performance perfection.

    Saw them at a fair in Colorado in 1986. It was an outside venue and the fans were not in the least deterred by heavy rain. I loved that line "how am I poda get the rent $ can't find no job"

    I think it was back in the winter of 1978, I go over to a buddies house and he's sitting there on the couch, head back, sunglasses on, music blaring listening to something I never heard before and then and there I experienced my first taste of George Thorogood. My buddy the late Lawrence L'hirondelle had this album on called "Moving On Over" and I've been a loyal fan ever since. I've collected every album since, I've been to over 20 + concerts, one time three in one week, he still plays in my Hemi everyday, I even had tickets to two of his shows here in Alberta but Covid-19 came along and phucked that up, but he'll be here in May 2-5, 2023, we're going to be making all three concerts because we's the boogie people, thank you George my favorite bar band. 🎸🎷🎶🥁🎸🤟🤘👍👍🦴🦴

    I remember listening to George Thorogood around 1987. I was about 17 at the time and he was very popular at the time. Everyone was playing George Thorogood and the Destroyers. It’s music that’s just gets you going at a party. I still play George Thorogood till this day. I didn’t know they were around that long tho.

    I made a tape in grade 11 recorded from the radio and had an auto reverse ghetto blaster. One Bourbon, One Scotch...played over and over as I hand wrote my homework during all nighters. That song is great live! All of them are. Great performers.
