Just met George in person yesterday...we were staying at same hotel before concert at Bethel Woods Center of the Arts in Bethel, PA. He was performing with John Fogerty . Great guy to talk to ! 10:19
I'm going to see them tonight in Oklahoma. I'm 65 and can hardly wait. They have been a favorite of mine since the first time I heard them way back when in the early 80's!
George Torogood is one of the best guitarists of the 20th century. Did these people back in 1995 realize what they had witnessed? To play rock and roll in such a furious rhythm with alternating fingers .. not everyone can do that. Only the elect of God ... A tribute to your talent, George !!!
I was a teen in the 60's and the music back then was mild compared to this. I love it. I'm 71 now and the likes of George Thorogood and AC/DC put the rock in rock n roll. Bring it on!
If you like ACDC take a listen to the Angels with Doc Neeson. Probably the hardest hitting Aussie pub rock band I ever saw. Neeson was nuts. Watch the end of the "under the southern cross" concert on RUclips to see what I mean.......
Damn right. And yes the sax player Hank Carter kicks maximum loads of ass. Always loved George Thorogood and the Destroyers! Seen them twice. Wonderful show!
Living proof you don’t have to be the worlds best guitar player. Just have to get you moving and bring you in the moment and Lonesome George does that to people.
Im so glad that i grew up at that time. There was no better time for 3 chord rock n roll. Thank you George and the double dds .your the best. A friend still has a batman hat from a Pittsburgh show.
Damnnnnnn!!!!!! Now that's Rock and Roll. I've seen George play a number of times and he always looks like he's having fun and giving all he could! One of the best live shows.
Sure they do. It's called the INTERNET & YOU TUBE. You need to give the younger generation the credit they so duly deserve. All music from EVERY era is STILL listened to by EVERYONE, including the newbies. Enjoy. 😊❤😊
Awe jeez Margie I'm getting old; this reminded me of seeing George at Massey Hall in Toronto with 8 or 10 of my friends when I was in my early 20's and just dancing my ass off the whole time right in front of the stage with 50 total strangers having a blast. Now some 35 years later I'm sitting in my lazy boy tapping my toes to this and my foot cramps up 🤣🤣🤣
Christ Jesus I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to hear this cover. Been listening to Lonesome George and the boys forever, and they’ve blown my socks off again.
I was born in 1957 and back in that day this music was still it was in its infancy infancy age but this this stuff was back and way back in the '60s the fifties Detroit is the home of rock and roll
Good hard driving, loud, fast, R&R The Sacred music doesnt get any better than this, starts at 60 miles per hour and winds up doing 80 Keepin the music alive!!
I saw Thorogood open for the Stones at the Superdome in 1981. I had never really heard much of him then and he set the place on FIRE. Perfect opening for the Stones.
Ladies and Gentleman , Mr. George Thorogood and the Delaware Destroyers. Rockpalast, Loreley, St. Goarshausen, Germany, July 8, 1995 George Thorogood - lead vocals and lead guitar Jeff Simon - drums, percussion (1973-present) Billy Blough - bass guitar (1976-present) Jim Suhler - rhythm guitar (1999-present) Hank "Hurricane" Carter - saxophone (1980-2003) This was so awesome , and hard to top. Simply the best...
Saw George Thorogood & The Destroyers live in The Dunedin Town Hall here in New Zealand on Sunday December 8th 1985 - believe I was 22 back then and bullet-proof. And what a gig! Blew the roof offa the Town Hall dat night. I'll sat one thing about GT & TD - if you are having a bad day then then listen to some GT & TD. And if your bad day blues do not disappear then I'm afraid there's no hope.
Thank you George and The Delaware Destroyers. This was a magnificent rendition of Chuck Berry’s classic rock and roll hit, Johnny B. Good. All of you performed from the heart and gave it all you had on that stage as the true musicians that you are. Best regards.
I saw George Thorogood & Destroyers in small club in Finland 1995.They were the main act in big blues festival but one night befofe played in tiny restaurant just for couple of hundred people.that was the best show i've ever seen hands down.
one of my favourite cover of Johnny B. Goode, it’s fast, energetic and heavy, I like it how he adds he can rock ‘n’ roll like a bat out of hell on the lyrics of his version, George Thorogood and the destroyers rule, I even put this up with Johnny Winter and Marty McFly’s cover version of Johnny B. Goode which are excellent covers!!
T/1982 Spherical Earth I’ve listened to Johnny Winters version whenever I discovered him, it’s an awesome cover, loved his playing, I liked johnny winter dawnson III which is my favourite record by him, such a shame what happened to him, his talent is missed but not forgotten
ahhhhh, the good old white shoes, all of us that were truly cool back in the day had white shoes on stage. it was an inside thing but the truly cool rocked the white shoes....
I saw George in the 80s in Toledo OH. Johnny Winter was to open but cancelled. George came out and let it rip for about 3 hours. Was a fan before, but totally new respect after!
George is a amazing guitarist and he will give you your moneys worth he loves his fans seen him once and he blowed me away seen a dozen times after that
I'm 71 and I am definitely here with you

I’m 22 born in 2001. My grandpa and I love to get loose and listen to George.
And maybe drink a little Grand dad bourbon?
Absolutely fantastic. I neverknew he could play like that. Now I do!
I'm 15 years old right now and I love George thorogood
Rock and Roll still in my veins ...who's with me here?
We need it more than ever! Rock on brother!!!
Me me me love George damn it hell yeah 💘
Me
I'm right here.
63 and still loving it ! Still riding bikes and listening to music way too loud, let it be….
The sax, drums and guitars! A masterpiece of rock and roll. Best cover of this song out there.
Good. But listen to hendrix live at Berkley 1970. Unbelievable.

Los Rockeros somos los malditos por tú dios y vamos al infierno.
Excellent. Cover. Version 😂😊😊😊😊😊
You need to learn to spell!
Agree
Still got the ticket and t shirt

This man and his band should be in HOF. Don't understand why not .
Brilliant.... same vintage... know what you're saying ye 😂
Yee ha...
If you like ACDC take a listen to the Angels with Doc Neeson. Probably the hardest hitting Aussie pub rock band I ever saw. Neeson was nuts. Watch the end of the "under the southern cross" concert on RUclips to see what I mean.......
Damn right. And yes the sax player Hank Carter kicks maximum loads of ass. Always loved George Thorogood and the Destroyers! Seen them twice. Wonderful show!
That sax player deserves a raise ! Great show. Would have loved to been there. Keep rockin George !
Hank "Hurricane" Carter, RIP brother.
I've never heard it done like this!!! He knocks it out of the park! Rock N Roll never dies!
George and Co. guaranteed a good time!!!
I guess you're not ready for this...but your kids are gonna love it.
That instrumental music back in that days was unbelievable
I have seen George Thorogood a number of times and his shows are outstanding
George rocked my world from the first time i ever heard of this guy called the Delaware Flash in the 70's when I was a teenage girl ❤️❤️❤️
This song will be played forever.
Living proof you don’t have to be the worlds best guitar player. Just have to get you moving and bring you in the moment and Lonesome George does that to people.
Hey I would like to thank my youngest my oldest brother for turning me on to rock and roll it was most beautiful thing I've ever seen
I can never be tried of Chuck Berry lives on through many good artists.
Im so glad that i grew up at that time. There was no better time for 3 chord rock n roll. Thank you George and the double dds .your the best. A friend still has a batman hat from a Pittsburgh show.
This is one of the best George Thorogood shows I've seen in a long time thanks guys for a great Rock and Roll Show
Damnnnnnn!!!!!! Now that's Rock and Roll. I've seen George play a number of times and he always looks like he's having fun and giving all he could! One of the best live shows.
76 here and play it to turnoff the bullshit at the end of the day , better than any therapy 🙏🙏
75. Been a fan for 40 years.
George Thorogood is the soul of Rock and Roll!
The sad thing is kids today have no idea who George thorogood is.and don't care.
Very sad
Sure they do. It's called the INTERNET & YOU TUBE. You need to give the younger generation the credit they so duly deserve. All music from EVERY era is STILL listened to by EVERYONE, including the newbies. Enjoy. 😊❤😊
I learn my kids
My kid knows it, and so do his pals.
Yes, er must aducate them

George kicks ass and plays rock'n'roll exactly how its supposed to be played. This is a killer version of this song!
You are darn right
FN WOW!
Time & Time again I keep coming back to this, best version of this track I have ever heard.
I have to listen to this at least once a week!
Christ Jesus I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to hear this cover. Been listening to Lonesome George and the boys forever, and they’ve blown my socks off again.
LOVE IT STILL 70
I love this performance 👍
Kudos to the drummer keeping those steady 16th notes for 8 mins at that BPM.
Absolute machine!
The great Jeff Simon
That sax player is worth every cent he gets paid !
I've seen George several times, and he always rocks it. Never holds back.But this is one of the best I've ever seen George play. He kills it.
Agreed
George calls this song the Rock'n'Roll national anthem and wow, his version is a classic.
I would agree. Thanks Chuck.
George & his band are the best proof, that rock and roll is the best thing that EVER happended to mankind!!
No analysis. Just good times.
I was born in 1957 and back in that day this music was still it was in its infancy infancy age but this this stuff was back and way back in the '60s the fifties Detroit is the home of rock and roll
An awesome talent. His own music and his most awesome covers and homage to the great blues players....
Best cover ever!!!
nothing flashy , musicians and talent .....and a massive Heart ...Pure Rock n roll
Excellent rendition. Go George, go!
To my knowledge, the best version, by far, of Johnny B Good. Thorogood and the other members of the Destroyers were real performers.
Most underrated Drummer ever! He bad ass!
Yes Danny!! It's the one and only Jeff Simon, the original Destroyers-Drummer, ever since with George through the decades!!
Saxophone dude is incredible!
Rock 'n Roll at its finest!!
At No Fish Today in Balto in the late '70's. He was incredible.
I saw George probably 15 times. Just a great show every time
George, we love u and The Destroyers.
There aint no better bar band than G.T. and the double "D"s.and thats combing from a an old navy vet. Bless you George.
Never a better rock n roll song. Ever. No matter who did it. Rock n roll was based off this song.
Good hard driving, loud, fast, R&R The Sacred music doesnt get any better than this, starts at 60 miles per hour and winds up doing 80 Keepin the music alive!!
I saw Thorogood open for the Stones at the Superdome in 1981. I had never really heard much of him then and he set the place on FIRE. Perfect opening for the Stones.
i think 91
Definitely 1981. He opened for the Stones in Buffalo as well.
I saw him 81 at Sun Devil stadium open for the Stones. Never heard of hom before that. He was good then
Yep !! In '81 he opened for the Stones in front of 105,000 people at the old JFK stadium. Journey was there as well.
Saw George play with Z Z Top in Madison Square Garden in 96 and he BLEW them off the stage. Soooo underated.
GOD BLESS THAT DRUMMER!!! HES AWESOME!! WHATTA WORK OUT!! LOVE THOROGOOD AND THE DESTROYERS!!
One Great guitar playing Bad Dude ! Thanks

Never sit at a George concert it is non stop rock POWER
Has this guy ever given a bad performance? A consummate rock n' roll showman if ever there was one.
What a dang good showman
One of the best performers I’ve ever seen, to be sure.
I discovered this guy when he played at Live Aid. Rock n roll will never be the same for me..
Same for me Luis - seen him twice live and he is absolutely FANTASTIC - from the UK 🇬🇧👌

George was once asked why he doesnt write more of his own songs?
He said Chuck Berry wrote all the good ones.
Once you felt Rock n Roll your life is not the same, long live rock n roll
Yeah once a rocker always a rocker.
