I discovered George very late, just last year on RadioSure on the Classic Rock Channel. I was listening and suddenly heard someone else doing Who do you Love and they weren't Juicy Lucy , the version I was famiiar with so I checked it out and discovered the wonderful George and the Destroyers. He was so exciting and animated I loved him immediatley as he's so sassy and evidently enjoys what he is doing, there is only one other act in my eclectic music taste that just makes me smile every time , the inimitable Rory Gallagher. It's not a bad thing to find someone new to you and enjoy, you're never too old either, I'm 70 years old and a Grandmother. .
For the last 40 odd yrs I've been listening to George Thorogood and the Destroyers and I reckon I'll be a fan till I'm gone. Thank you George and don't ever change. Well done Sammy. 🤟😎👍🎸🎷🥁🎸

@@goergethoorogood3748 George I've seen you like eight times in Florida. first time was at the Tampa theater. Sir you and your band have put some of the best rock and roll together. And I have some of the greatest times of my life at your concerts thank you so much. Like you always said How Sweet It Is just like Jackie Gleason. Rock on brother God bless America.
GT was a bright spot in an otherwise dark decade for us blues fans. The 80’s had plenty of euro pop and big hair bands but we were into George Thorogood, Johnny Winters, Sarasota Sam, and a slew of others.
I was at the Stones concert at Rich Stadium in Orchard Park, NY in 1981. When George played Move it on over, the rain stopped, the clouds parted and we saw sunshine. It was eerily cool. One of the best shows back in the day. George Thorogood & the Destroyers, Journey and the Stones. I'll never forget it!
I was there as well. Never forget some dude trying to cross the stadium on the cable that holds the net for field goals and extra points! He didn’t get too far out before he got tired. He got thumped by security when he climbed back into the upper deck! The whole day was AMAZING!
I was at a New Years Eve Party down in Florida and the last song the band played before midnight was Rain by Clapton. It was outdoors. Not a drop of rain until 3 notes into the song. It never stopped after that. But a great time was had.
I was there for that show and remember George predicting he would make the rain stop. The crowd went absolutely nuts when the sun came out. Was one of my favorite concerts as well
George has entertained us and played with some killer bands. I've seen George Thorogood and the Destroyers play many times and they can certainly get a crowd roaring. Thanks for all the great memories but most of all your top shelf music.
Just saw George a few months ago, it was a really good show. He & the band sounded great . Now I just bought tickets for Sammy & George playing in June. How great will that show be!!!
Was about 10 when I went to my first concert to see George Thorogood. One of the best shows I have ever seen. And still have the ticket stub after all these years.
Saw George once at Fireworks Over Central NY in I think 1994. Tickets were $4 for the entire event, George headlined. What a great show. Almost feel like I owe him some money lol
Elvis died a few months before I was born, so I got to see the Elvis phenomenon grow, from the viewpoint of a child. My mum was a huge fan, and my favourite album is still AS RECORDED AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN. From the rise of imitators to the sightings that became part of pop culture. Music is still an important part of my life, but the music of Elvis shaped where I was to go in that lifelong journey.
i saw george and the boys open up for ZZ TOP back in the late 90,s, still to this day one of the best shows ive ever seen, keep rocking george, BOSTON loves ya!!!
Might be one of my favorite shows. Geroge is so damn real as is Sammy. 2 legendary Cats just hanging and being positive. Thanks to everyone involved. Lights, cameras, and action! George's band is tight as shit. They sound just like the damn records! Cheers!
I’m happy to been able to see George Thorogood at route 66 casino when I was about 20 years old with my pops. Nonetheless I have one of his greatest albums 😌🤘🎸
Saw George Thorogood in Dec 81' when he opened for the Stones. It was the very last concert on the Stones tour in Hampton Virginia. George was a great opener....really got the crowd going.
I saw them 1981 in Orlando. Van Halen happened to be in town and were second on the bill for both shows over two days. They had done one other show with the Stones in 78 I believe. The Henry Paul Band opened up. The rear photo on the Diver Down LP was VH on stage pre show in Orlando.
Thanks for all the support, I hope you never stop listening to my music dear..Your support made me who I am today and I really appreciate, am promising you more amazing music dear... THANK YOU GEOGE THOROGOOD LOVE YOU
I saw Thorogood and the Destroyers in Halifax NS in April of 1989 on my 19th Birthday and then went out and had my first legal Bourbon, Scotch and Beer at the Misty Moon Cabaret. That night will always be a great memory. Thanks George
Saw George in 1980 in Santa Barbara with a bunch of my crazy college buddies from San Luis Obispo... Amazing road trip, great band, great show... Still impressed with his music...
Watching this took me back to a time when the two of you were young men and I was for the most part still a kid. Thanks for the great music and memories and glad the both of you are still with us.
For years I've been smiling at people who listen to modern country because it sounds like some of the 70s Rock we used to hear on the radio. Then I remembered Hank Williams playing Move it on over on my grandad's reel to reel then move onto George Thorogood's version in my teens.
Heard George Thorogood and the Destroyers in a small theater in Vermont that seats a few hundred people, on a cold weekday evening, and they played like they were playing for a full stadium. Like it was the most impotrant gig they would ever have. Truly professional, and a great show. 🙂
Holy shit he mentions Moondance, literally the one go-to album to listen to all the way through.... I do it often! Just got a new copy of the vinyl for Christmas as my original is warped :/
I seen George and his band in Spokane at the Big easy( The Knitting Factory now) about fifteen years ago and it was amazing. Still one of the best bands I have heard. You rock George!
George can rock the house. Seen him a few times over the years, starting around 85 I think. A bar band that's hopped up on steroids. What a sound. His playing style and sound are definitely one of a kind.
Saw GT&TD at market square in Knoxville Tn about 10 years ago. He was rocking so hard he passed out. He got back up and continued slaying. Great show. One of my favorites.
Thanks for all the support, I hope you never stop listening to my music dear..Your support made me who I am today and I really appreciate, am promising you more amazing music dear... THANK YOU LUKE BRYAN LOVE YOU
@@georgethorogoodofficial No shit, George. I'm a child of the 60s and have seen countless concerts in various sizes venues. You floored me that night. I am forever grateful and will never forget that night. Rock on.
Best George Thorogood show I’ve seen was in 1992 at Concord Pavilion. He was touring with Little Feat. George brought out Elvin Bishop about half way through his set and they rocked the 💩 out of it 👌 Little Feat was badass too. Great show!
Thanks for all the support, I hope you never stop listening to my music dear..Your support made me who I am today and I really appreciate, am promising you more amazing music dear... THANK YOU GEOGE THOROGOOD LOVE YOU
Growing up listening to your tunes was such a good time...We all thought your slide work was amazing...you had it all .....vocals...hey do us a favor and keep jamming..
Seen George at least half a dozen times. Once was in Reno in the 80's, never have i ever felt the energy that I felt that night from the crowd. Every single person there was on their feet the whole time. Never seen anything like it and you could see George feeding on the energy. I know he dug it. Sammy has always been one of my favorites. His first solo album "Sammy Hagar" is a great album all the way through. My favorite is "Filmore Shuffle" never get tired of that song. George and Sammy two class act Legends.....Rock on my friends
Most incredible concert I've ever seen! And he wasn't even the headliner lol..it was the Rolling Stones.. he was sooo much better than they were😊👍simply AMAZING.
Got into George in 1978! Senior year in high school I was at a lake, a cottage party outside of Wilkes-Barre, PA! Harvey’s Lake 😊 The kid That rented the house kept playing George over and over and over! The whole night it was beer and George! That’s when I got hooked on his music, amazing. When I hear it it brings back such good memories!
🎸 George Thorogood Real Beer Drinking Music Old School Legend and incredible slide guitar player.Been listening to them since they were called The Delaware Destroyers in the late 70s🔥🎶🍺🍻
Beautiful video - I've loved Elvis all my life too...and I've loved George's music & style since I was a teenager. I LOVE that saying, "I love a crowd in front of me, not around me" LOL - I'm the same too (especially during Covid!!) when I play my country music. Then you go home to your private life & just do your own thing. Best way to be :-)
Oh man! (Caution, very long text here) To see such wonderful musicians that are honest music lovers is always a treat beyond words! I saw Sammy Hagar play right after Cheap Trick in the arena where the Phoenix Suns play around 2006. Sammy is always loose with his band, joking around, but playing serious rocking jams. I ve seen Sammy many times on UA-cam, and a DVD, and his approach presenting his brand of rock to the masses never changes! I love honesty. George Thorogood I saw at the Celebrity Theatre in Phoenix Az around 06 or 07. Awesome show. Tight band. Says alot about this man's character when he has Jeff Simon on drums and Billy Blough on bass since 1974. Perhaps even earlier. Yes the same original band members are still with him. My honest opinion, George was even more awesome with the great Hank Carter on sax (just like Ted with Derek St. Holmes) but again that's just my opinion. Thorogood put out some great albums this century. Ride Till I Die, and The Hard Stuff are his best stuff since Boogie People. Jim Shuler on guitar compliments George's guitar very well. And he has been with George for almost 25 years. Sammy is such a wonderful music lover. Just asking George "how the hell you keep band members that long" is just many evidence that Sammy is so into music, just like George. Such tunes of energy kept me going a long time. (Today I'll have many Becks beers, many tacos, do chores, and just jam out to my CDs on my practical 250 watt sterio. Sammy and George will be on the speakers along with many others) I remember when Milwaukee Best beer was a gold and white 12 pack cans for 6 dollars. Around Saturday in the 1990's, I drink that with eggs for breakfast and crank up my Thorogood and the Destroyers CD. And yes, watching a Thorogood concert in around 07, I didn't drink beer or any booze at all, and had fun. I love watching these guys on UA-cam. All that old school energy. Love the honesty. Sammy Hagar admitted to Ted Nugent on rock n roll road trip, that Ted inspired Sammy to bring energy in his performances, just by watching Ted play. Wow! I would have already thought that such energy Sammy was already bring from his days on Montrose. Just another wonderful example of musicians bring IT to the next few levels! Sammy even gave credit to one of the guys from Foreigner in a old interview about Sammy singing better in the 80's. Just awesome range! I love his solo albums. Sure VOA, and Standing Hampton were more commercial (and yes these albums kick ass) but how can you not like Street Machine? Awesome writing as usual as evidence on Plain Jane. And such wonderful rockers as Growing Pains, Trans Am and This Planet's on Fire. Great stuff! These tunes have kept my laboring ass going for many years. As far as my carnival days as a Ferris Wheel operator.....well how does Chad operate and balance a 50 foot Ferris Wheel during fair season sometimes as early as 10 in the morning to almost midnight, with non stop crowds because of the unlimited wristband passes? Hum, what CD to start with today? Hey Foghats Eight days On the Road from Rock n Roll outlaws. This will work! And yes, around seven or six in the evening I apply my live CDs for my customers to hear. Point is, music is awesome! Expecially for people that put passion in their work ethics, rock and blues guitars are better then two energy drinks. Without the side effects of such drinks. I'm glad that Johnny Winter (my all time favorite musician) was mentioned in this episode. I can go on and on, but my tunes, tacos, and Becks is calling. I'll will mention this. As the great bluesman BB King said "everybody borrows from somebody" He means that everyone was inspired by someone. Chuck Berry and Elvis Presley brought their music to the next level, and also had their own style. But Chuck admitted he was only doing his (I forgot the lady's name, yes a female ax slinger whom if you see her on UA-cam, you'll be impressed) impression of her for a long time. And yes Elvis sung songs from other artists, he just performed them with his own style of bringing IT. I love the honesty from these two. I love reading the compliments from these guys fans. How about the best intro I ever heard from rock on a live song before Sammy and Gary Phil jam out those solos on Bad Motor Scooter? And yes, the one on UA-cam with these ax warriors is over 17 minutes long! Damn, a HUGE difference to the hard rocking one on All Night Long that's 7 minutes long. Peace people 🎸🎵🎸
Excuse me. Been drinking. Anyway the name I now remember is Rosetta Thorpe. That who Chuck Berry got his inspiration from. Check her out people. I'm glad I just remembered her name. Other fast licks, and yes these are the blues but kick ass variety, from ax ladies to listen to are Debbie Davies and Ana Popovich. You won't be disappointed. You'll even shake your booty to your lady whom is also shaking it, just jamming out to these tunes. Great way to end such a Road Trip episode. Buddy Guy or BB King? George's response, "How about BB Guy?" In other words, how the hell can you choose?" Well friends 🎵The hills are aliveeee.... With the sound of guitars 🎵🎶 🎸 🎸🎸 haha yes yes yes
Wow, I guess I don't know where I've been, but I'm so happy to find these mini docu series videos!! Thanks so much for making these with Rock legends and amazing places!!
Great interview with George. I remember seeing George Thorogood and the Destroyers at Orange Coast College gym. I think it was around 1979 when he first started getting some airplay. I remember seeing him on TV one night and thinking, holy shit, who is this guy? The next day reading the OC Register newspaper, there it was. "George Thorogood one night only". I raced down to the college and grabbed two tickets for the show that evening. Couldn't have been more than 2000 people. The basketball gym was basically a glorified high school gym.. George and his band put on one of the highest energy rock & roll shows I've ever seen to this day, and I've seen a lot. He was drenched in sweat by the end. Have since seen him 3 more times over the years, and always great. But that early show was really something else.
Wow thank you for that interview fellers I'm a 53 yr white male man that was traumatized by all the reaterique of wisdom and understanding grew up with the both of you loved every moment of the static and sometimes a skip or two peace lookin good rockers peace ✌
17:30 Props for paying well, I think part of the appreciation for that is the respect you showed/show your players, the money is essential , but the respect is priceless.
So cool they talked about George opening for the Stones. That was the Stones’ Tatoo You Tour; and I saw it at Candlestick Park in San Francisco.The first time I heard of George was when I heard he was part of it. My roommate had his first two albums and from first time I heard One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer, I was a big fan. I was just as excited to see George as I was to see the Stones. Both were awesome. Prolly the best rock concert I’ll ever see.

Best video on UA-cam hands down. George is so nice of a person. Sammy is a talented musician as well. Putting them both together was awesome. Great video.
Wow...It's been forever since I saw George live. Williamsport, PA (home of the Little League World Series) 1985 or 86. An Army roommate turned me on to George. Love the Red Rocker and the band. Love Elvis, he was stationed near where I was stationed in the Army. Been to Graceland and looks like some of the displays are different since I was there.
We sat next to Sammy at the Hotel bar after a Van Halen Concert in Jacksonville , FL back in 2004 we did not even notice, that's how cool this guy is. Just a regular Joe.
Two of the coolest dudes on the planet. Talent is nothing when you've got an over-inflated ego, but these guys are as laid back and humble as can be. What a treat.
First time I saw Lonesome George was in Fayetteville, Arkansas. George invited everyone to come to New Orleans. Next night was my first time in the Super Dome. Wow!?! What a great time!
Sammy Hagar was my favorite rock personality growing up but when I saw George open for Bo Diddley in SoCal (99-00) I was never smiled so much during such a rock n blues monumental moment.
When did you first become aware of rock and roll? That's a good question to ask some of these baby boomer rockers who were born post World War 2. Having been born in 1971 myself, as a Gen Xer, I first became aware of the music my parents were listening to on the radio, records, and 8-track tapes when I was only 4 or 5 years old in 1975-76, so I remember hearing the Eagles, Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, Edgar Winter, etc firsthand--that's why I like to say I came of age in the "classic rock" era and started digging rock and roll before I even started grade school, when most kids my age have their first point of reference for the music when MTV began! So I always imagined guys like Sammy Hagar and Ted Nugent who were born in 1947 and 1948 remembering a time when there was no rock and roll, if they were 7 when it all began, but apparently, that's when they first took notice, whereas it happened at an earlier age for me
thers only one person in this world that can make people light up just by seeing them...and that line goes around the corner and back....YOU ROCK SAMMY..
I’ve seen Mr. Thorogood several times in Salisbury, Md. Barely missed him in Newark, De. in ‘82. Tried to get in but he popped in on a local band and the place filled up instantly.
""The Beatles are brilliant, the Stones are BAD" - GREAT QUOTE from George. I grew up with them both and always categorized the Beatles as the good guys and the Stones as the BAD guys. Love them both AND George and Sammy as well.....
I saw George in the mid '80's in the Indianapolis convention center when the were the "World's only 3 piece quartet". I made the mistake of standing right in front of the stage. My ears literally rang for a week.
Late to the party on this one but what a treat! I remember hearing George the first time at my neighbors house who was a few years older than me, it was the live album and it quickly became a favorite. I walked away that day thinking “if I could make music like that!” Love that guitar you gave Sammy as well so cool, maybe someday I’ll get one, keep on rocking!
Sammy has such a vibrant personalty. Montrose was a huge influence on me as a teen learning to play. I still love and listen to that first album. I have to be honest. I do not own a George Thorogood album but i like his music. Just not that much.
Saw him with Johnny Winter with 25,000 people in 1982 and saw him in a bar with 300 people. Have my Destroyers Tee shirt since '82- quality stuff like George. Rock on dudes.

I had a friend back in my teens who always said I reminded him of George 🤣, messed with my head a little, I wasn't half the man he was back then. I do and enjoy his unique style of music then and now.
I think the best thing about Sammy is that he never loses enthusiasm for life. Never seems bored or has the "been there done that" attitude.
George Thorogood is one the best shows you will ever see.....I have all his CDs.
That was my first concert. LA coliseum. George stole the show. Best stage performance i have ever seen to his day.
Seen George in Boise Idaho in 88 only about 80 people showed up . Everybody had front stage. Played for 3 hours. Greatest concert ever. True showman
I saw him in 86 when he opened for SRV. The place was packed.
George Thorogood puts on one of the best rock n roll shows you will ever see.

I saw him open for the Stones in Oakland CA. He absolutely 💯 killed it . I mean he Destroyed it. Bad to the fockin bone.
Yup, me too..nothing like him.

the place he played in little rock was actually called the High Country. it was a biker bar. i was there. best live show i have every been to
Wow two of the best guitar players together awesome both just unreal LIVE red rocker & lonesome george
First concert I ever saw was Montrose opening for another band about 1972 or so ... Sammy was about 18 years old ... just blew me away....
Best concert ive ever seen. Straight down the line, no BS R&R.. Newcastle workers club NSW Australia just before the Earthquake.
Late 80s 👏👏👏👍
I saw George in Perth in the late 80s, must have been the same tour. Same straight up balls to the wall Rock.
Seen George at least half a dozen times. Once was in Reno in the 80's, never have i ever felt the energy that I felt that night from the crowd. Every single person there was on their feet the whole time. Never seen anything like it and you could see George feeding on the energy. I know he dug it. Sammy has always been one of my favorites. His first solo album "Sammy Hagar" is a great album all the way through. My favorite is "Filmore Shuffle" never get tired of that song. George and Sammy two class act Legends.....Rock on my friends
I saw Thorogood and the Rolling Stones together in 1981 and they were both AWESOME!!!
Most incredible concert I've ever seen! And he wasn't even the headliner lol..it was the Rolling Stones.. he was sooo much better than they were😊👍simply AMAZING.
Got into George in 1978! Senior year in high school I was at a lake, a cottage party outside of Wilkes-Barre, PA! Harvey’s Lake 😊 The kid That rented the house kept playing George over and over and over! The whole night it was beer and George! That’s when I got hooked on his music, amazing. When I hear it it brings back such good memories!
🎸 George Thorogood Real Beer Drinking Music Old School Legend and incredible slide guitar player.Been listening to them since they were called The Delaware Destroyers in the late 70s🔥🎶🍺🍻
I been fans of these guys since the mid 70s & its still hard to believe that George is 71 now & Sammy is 73! PEACE LOVE n HIPPYNESS!
Beautiful video - I've loved Elvis all my life too...and I've loved George's music & style since I was a teenager. I LOVE that saying, "I love a crowd in front of me, not around me" LOL - I'm the same too (especially during Covid!!) when I play my country music. Then you go home to your private life & just do your own thing. Best way to be :-)
This is George trying to clean up his act! Priceless. It’s not a party until the Bass Player shows up.
Thank you so much.for full episode! A cuppel of really great rocker's oh hell yeah 👍
I have a lot of respect for these two authentic rockers.
I’ve seen George live once, sadly about 16 years ago. One of the most impressive shows I’ve ever been to.
Saw George open for BB King in Cincinnati. Super badass show, mentioned Texas Pride and did an SRV cover in Thorogood style...amazing!
I saw George Thorogood here in Fort Wayne Indiana at the foellinger theater a few years ago and it was an amazing performance.
George has his own unique sound, a trademark guitar that fits your ear perfectly.
Oh man! (Caution, very long text here) To see such wonderful musicians that are honest music lovers is always a treat beyond words! I saw Sammy Hagar play right after Cheap Trick in the arena where the Phoenix Suns play around 2006. Sammy is always loose with his band, joking around, but playing serious rocking jams. I ve seen Sammy many times on UA-cam, and a DVD, and his approach presenting his brand of rock to the masses never changes! I love honesty. George Thorogood I saw at the Celebrity Theatre in Phoenix Az around 06 or 07. Awesome show. Tight band. Says alot about this man's character when he has Jeff Simon on drums and Billy Blough on bass since 1974. Perhaps even earlier. Yes the same original band members are still with him. My honest opinion, George was even more awesome with the great Hank Carter on sax (just like Ted with Derek St. Holmes) but again that's just my opinion. Thorogood put out some great albums this century. Ride Till I Die, and The Hard Stuff are his best stuff since Boogie People. Jim Shuler on guitar compliments George's guitar very well. And he has been with George for almost 25 years. Sammy is such a wonderful music lover. Just asking George "how the hell you keep band members that long" is just many evidence that Sammy is so into music, just like George. Such tunes of energy kept me going a long time. (Today I'll have many Becks beers, many tacos, do chores, and just jam out to my CDs on my practical 250 watt sterio. Sammy and George will be on the speakers along with many others) I remember when Milwaukee Best beer was a gold and white 12 pack cans for 6 dollars. Around Saturday in the 1990's, I drink that with eggs for breakfast and crank up my Thorogood and the Destroyers CD. And yes, watching a Thorogood concert in around 07, I didn't drink beer or any booze at all, and had fun. I love watching these guys on UA-cam. All that old school energy. Love the honesty. Sammy Hagar admitted to Ted Nugent on rock n roll road trip, that Ted inspired Sammy to bring energy in his performances, just by watching Ted play. Wow! I would have already thought that such energy Sammy was already bring from his days on Montrose. Just another wonderful example of musicians bring IT to the next few levels! Sammy even gave credit to one of the guys from Foreigner in a old interview about Sammy singing better in the 80's. Just awesome range! I love his solo albums. Sure VOA, and Standing Hampton were more commercial (and yes these albums kick ass) but how can you not like Street Machine? Awesome writing as usual as evidence on Plain Jane. And such wonderful rockers as Growing Pains, Trans Am and This Planet's on Fire. Great stuff! These tunes have kept my laboring ass going for many years. As far as my carnival days as a Ferris Wheel operator.....well how does Chad operate and balance a 50 foot Ferris Wheel during fair season sometimes as early as 10 in the morning to almost midnight, with non stop crowds because of the unlimited wristband passes? Hum, what CD to start with today? Hey Foghats Eight days On the Road from Rock n Roll outlaws. This will work! And yes, around seven or six in the evening I apply my live CDs for my customers to hear. Point is, music is awesome! Expecially for people that put passion in their work ethics, rock and blues guitars are better then two energy drinks. Without the side effects of such drinks. I'm glad that Johnny Winter (my all time favorite musician) was mentioned in this episode. I can go on and on, but my tunes, tacos, and Becks is calling. I'll will mention this. As the great bluesman BB King said "everybody borrows from somebody" He means that everyone was inspired by someone. Chuck Berry and Elvis Presley brought their music to the next level, and also had their own style. But Chuck admitted he was only doing his (I forgot the lady's name, yes a female ax slinger whom if you see her on UA-cam, you'll be impressed) impression of her for a long time. And yes Elvis sung songs from other artists, he just performed them with his own style of bringing IT. I love the honesty from these two. I love reading the compliments from these guys fans. How about the best intro I ever heard from rock on a live song before Sammy and Gary Phil jam out those solos on Bad Motor Scooter? And yes, the one on UA-cam with these ax warriors is over 17 minutes long! Damn, a HUGE difference to the hard rocking one on All Night Long that's 7 minutes long. Peace people 🎸🎵🎸
Excuse me. Been drinking. Anyway the name I now remember is Rosetta Thorpe. That who Chuck Berry got his inspiration from. Check her out people. I'm glad I just remembered her name. Other fast licks, and yes these are the blues but kick ass variety, from ax ladies to listen to are Debbie Davies and Ana Popovich. You won't be disappointed. You'll even shake your booty to your lady whom is also shaking it, just jamming out to these tunes. Great way to end such a Road Trip episode. Buddy Guy or BB King? George's response, "How about BB Guy?" In other words, how the hell can you choose?" Well friends 🎵The hills are aliveeee.... With the sound of guitars 🎵🎶 🎸 🎸🎸 haha yes yes yes
Wow, I guess I don't know where I've been, but I'm so happy to find these mini docu series videos!! Thanks so much for making these with Rock legends and amazing places!!
Great interview with George. I remember seeing George Thorogood and the Destroyers at Orange Coast College gym. I think it was around 1979 when he first started getting some airplay. I remember seeing him on TV one night and thinking, holy shit, who is this guy? The next day reading the OC Register newspaper, there it was. "George Thorogood one night only". I raced down to the college and grabbed two tickets for the show that evening. Couldn't have been more than 2000 people. The basketball gym was basically a glorified high school gym.. George and his band put on one of the highest energy rock & roll shows I've ever seen to this day, and I've seen a lot. He was drenched in sweat by the end.
Have since seen him 3 more times over the years, and always great. But that early show was really something else.
Wow thank you for that interview fellers I'm a 53 yr white male man that was traumatized by all the reaterique of wisdom and understanding grew up with the both of you loved every moment of the static and sometimes a skip or two peace lookin good rockers peace ✌
That jam was nice loved seeing two greats playing together
17:30
Props for paying well, I think part
of the appreciation for that is the
respect you showed/show your players,
the money is essential , but the
respect is priceless.
What a couple of cool dudes. Great guys and both down to earth despite being so successful for so long. Awesome.
So cool they talked about George opening for the Stones. That was the Stones’ Tatoo You Tour; and I saw it at Candlestick Park in San Francisco.The first time I heard of George was when I heard he was part of it. My roommate had his first two albums and from first time I heard One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer, I was a big fan. I was just as excited to see George as I was to see the Stones. Both were awesome. Prolly the best rock concert I’ll ever see.
Thanks for all the support, I hope you never stop listening to my music dear..Your support made me who I am today and I really appreciate, am promising you more amazing music dear... THANK YOU LUKE BRYAN LOVE YOU
Thanks for all the support, I hope you never stop listening to my music dear..Your support made me who I am today and I really appreciate, am promising you more amazing music dear... THANK YOU GOERGE THOROGOOD LOVE YOU
@@92Redstrat i take it youve never been 2 a rush concert?.ive seen um 5 times and those were the best shows ever,lol.
My first thought: I love the old vette!
And I'm a huge Elvis fan! Love that you shared your tour of Graceland! 💘
Saw George 3x back in the late 80's/early 90's...never left disappointed...#legendary #rocker
I saw George on the Stones tour in 1981 LA Colosseum
Man, that was a great day of music
Everything I remember about 1981 was AWESOME
Awesome episode. Two masters of their craft!
Best video on UA-cam hands down. George is so nice of a person. Sammy is a talented musician as well. Putting them both together was awesome. Great video.
'it wasn't me', the Chuck Berry cover, is one of the best Berry covers ever! saw him before 'Bad to the bone', I think. could be wrong.
Wow...It's been forever since I saw George live. Williamsport, PA (home of the Little League World Series) 1985 or 86. An Army roommate turned me on to George. Love the Red Rocker and the band. Love Elvis, he was stationed near where I was stationed in the Army. Been to Graceland and looks like some of the displays are different since I was there.
We sat next to Sammy at the Hotel bar after a Van Halen Concert in Jacksonville , FL back in 2004 we did not even notice, that's how cool this guy is. Just a regular Joe.
Thank you for the interview. Always enjoyed George's bad ass sound. Great interview from Sammy.
Two of the coolest dudes on the planet. Talent is nothing when you've got an over-inflated ego, but these guys are as laid back and humble as can be. What a treat.
First time I saw Lonesome George was in Fayetteville, Arkansas. George invited everyone to come to New Orleans. Next night was my first time in the Super Dome. Wow!?! What a great time!
Sammy Hagar was my favorite rock personality growing up but when I saw George open for Bo Diddley in SoCal (99-00) I was never smiled so much during such a rock n blues monumental moment.
Everybody funny, now you funny too!
Hey I have a duvkhead just like that brass
Hella cool?????
The all out best line in any blues/Rock song!
Ah .....she kinda funny you know.....I know everybody funny....Now you funny too!
But I's tired... I been walking all day
80's, Country South Australia. George Thorogood was accepted and loved, everywhere!
This is one of those interviews Sammy could talk to George for hours, excellent as usual 👏
When did you first become aware of rock and roll? That's a good question to ask some of these baby boomer rockers who were born post World War 2. Having been born in 1971 myself, as a Gen Xer, I first became aware of the music my parents were listening to on the radio, records, and 8-track tapes when I was only 4 or 5 years old in 1975-76, so I remember hearing the Eagles, Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, Edgar Winter, etc firsthand--that's why I like to say I came of age in the "classic rock" era and started digging rock and roll before I even started grade school, when most kids my age have their first point of reference for the music when MTV began! So I always imagined guys like Sammy Hagar and Ted Nugent who were born in 1947 and 1948 remembering a time when there was no rock and roll, if they were 7 when it all began, but apparently, that's when they first took notice, whereas it happened at an earlier age for me
thers only one person in this world that can make people light up just by seeing them...and that line goes around the corner and back....YOU ROCK SAMMY..
I’ve seen Mr. Thorogood several times in Salisbury, Md. Barely missed him in Newark, De. in ‘82. Tried to get in but he popped in on a local band and the place filled up instantly.
""The Beatles are brilliant, the Stones are BAD" - GREAT QUOTE from George.
I grew up with them both and always categorized the Beatles as the good guys and the Stones as the BAD guys.
Love them both AND George and Sammy as well.....
I saw Geoge with the Bill blue band at the empire theater in Richmond....
BEST SHOW I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!
I saw George in the mid '80's in the Indianapolis convention center when the were the "World's only 3 piece quartet". I made the mistake of standing right in front of the stage. My ears literally rang for a week.
George Thorogood say whatever you like about him, introduced more guys to blues music than any other artist living or dead. Myself included
I heard about George about 1980. Got an lp of his before BTTB came out. He was immidiately my favorite. Inspired me to learn guitar!!!!🏆🎸🏆🤗✝️👏👍😂
Late to the party on this one but what a treat! I remember hearing George the first time at my neighbors house who was a few years older than me, it was the live album and it quickly became a favorite. I walked away that day thinking “if I could make music like that!” Love that guitar you gave Sammy as well so cool, maybe someday I’ll get one, keep on rocking!
The Red Rocker is an amazing Star himself ...Elvis would have Loved you Sammy!
I don't know? Elvis was a strange bird man...
Sammy has such a vibrant personalty. Montrose was a huge influence on me as a teen learning to play. I still love and listen to that first album. I have to be honest. I do not own a George Thorogood album but i like his music. Just not that much.
Saw him with Johnny Winter with 25,000 people in 1982 and saw him in a bar with 300 people. Have my Destroyers Tee shirt since '82- quality stuff like George. Rock on dudes.
Isn't this great that these guys can push egos aside and just rock out!
All three of them are the Kings of Kings !!
Imagine David Lee there.
Thanks for all the support, I hope you never stop listening to my music dear..Your support made me who I am today and I really appreciate, am promising you more amazing music dear... THANK YOU GEOGE THOROGOOD LOVE YOU
Thanks George. Thank you Sammy. You both DESERVE everything good that came your way! I'm hoping to get to Cabo thus year for your B-day Sammy! Rock stars 👍🇺🇸👍
I never knew Sammy was a good guy... great person it seems and I am happy to have viewed this...
Great stuff. Three of my faves - Elvis, Sammy and George. Rock TF on!
Favorite George thorogood video bad to the bone with bo diddley
Yeah, that earliest Thorogood has a rawness, can't be denied.
Come on everybody there's a rock party tonite....Lonesome George and the Red Rocker...Nuff said..
Thanks for all the support, I hope you never stop listening to my music dear..Your support made me who I am today and I really appreciate, am promising you more amazing music dear... THANK YOU GEOGE THOROGOOD LOVE YOU
I had a friend back in my teens who always said I reminded him of George 🤣, messed with my head a little, I wasn't half the man he was back then. I do and enjoy his unique style of music then and now.
