One thing I will always love about George: yes he is the Destroyers front man HOWEVER he always steps aside and shows respect to the men who helped form his style. This isn't the first time he has had guest artists on stage and he never upstages them .
So he was playing house of blues so I bought a cheap ticket. Got in line early. Asked the guy, where. And the guy said "floor" Hold up. What? Belly up to the bar bois, front and center. Damn my good luck. So a little blues band out of east Texas played for 45. Then Billy Bob Thornton and his blues band kicked it for another hour or so and the roadie came over to me to go back stage. And I said not today... And then there was George. Playing directly in my face and all I have to say is... I'll leave that to your imagination ;)
Jawdroppingly awesome guitar work. One of my wife and my favorite vids: she died Friday, and this is one thing that lifts me right out of the black - you can't be depressed listening to this. I'll crank this up and know that she's listening, rockin' out to the afterlife.
I love how Mr. Collins gets the telecaster to say Thank You if you listen close he gets that fender to speak. Imagine inviting a guitar legend to play on stage with you and he accepts the invite what a night this must have been to be there and see this live.
Albert Collins, only 9 years later after this legendary concert with his great friend Thorogood & he tragically passes away from lung cancer at only age 61, a shame. Great musician may he rest in peace
I knew Albert, he was a very kind, very humble man. But when he strapped on a Telecaster, he was the most bad ass player that ever walked the face of this earth. Him and George, friggin amazing together.
One of my favourite rock roll guitarists,love Billy's unique style,one of the very best axeman to come out Aussie,gone to soon ,Rock on Billy, Rock ,Rythm & Blues, r.i.p brother,although I don't think u will be resting,600 volts of pure rock,thank God fo you tube ,see yer Billy,the man. Gone way too soon.
Albert Collins busted a string on his Fender Telecaster and kept right on jamming. Now that's how you play the guitar. Hard to believe that George Thorogood will turn 69 this month. And he's still playing that slide guitar like he's 19 years old. Yeahhh. Good playing, good singing, and how about that duet five minutes into the song. Great stuff.
This is what a great talent does. Keeps playin". He knows damn good and well his strings are broke. The show must go on. Albert Collins is a true talent.
+calixa Collins is a pretty good guitarist, but no, George Thorogood isn't. He does a good job with effects and distortion, but he's mostly just pounding on one chord the whole song, and almost all his songs are the same.
Boyce: 15 million album sales, 6 gold albums, 2 platinum. But keep telling yourself he's overrated due to his "effects". The man is nothing if notorious for being consistent for his Gibson ES-125TDC into a Fender Dual Showman. What kind of success have you had in the music industry again?

Too bloody right, I once amazed a couple of friends by singing Mood Indigo and watch their faces as three very yappy Spanish little dogs all retreated from their fence to gawk in silence. It was very comical but only deep-felt blues can do that 💜
One of my all time favorite songs from George. Just had it pumping on my sound bar ... you know the Story. . A few beers on a Saturday afternoon .. etc etc it's young Saturday night ..
Who better than George and his. Buddy Albert Collins. This is the best RockNRoll Song that I've ever heard.i Love this music.62 and I've heard then all.
Albert was just EPIC, you don’t see this today. What a time to be alive. Unfortunately I only saw this a month ago. What a Time to be alive was stolen from a home improvement show the wife was watching. There from Laurel Ms. Bless her , for her beautiful words.
This is my favorite song by George and With Albert Master of the telecaster Mr Collins! It don't get any better then this.this man Mr ALBERT COLLINS HAS PASSED ON TO GOD'S ALL STAR BAND. DAMM HE IS GREAT. matching George lick for lick on that telecaster, play it brother we will never forget you! ROCK ON!
No one sounds like Albert, they why he's The Master. But the roar of that Gibson, George was underrated. Two amazing players just rippin it. You don't hear music like this anymore.
How can people dislike this....raw rock n roll . His band are class...and Freddie Mercury on the drums is relentless....
Yes, the ever surpizzzn Freddy.
Holy fucking hell! Im 63 years old and this is the first time ive seen this shit. Why wasnt i notified. Incredible.
Welcome to earth . Third ROCK from the son !
Late to the party but it will be going for a while yet! Classic! This boy is bad to the bone!
One thing I will always love about George: yes he is the Destroyers front man HOWEVER he always steps aside and shows respect to the men who helped form his style. This isn't the first time he has had guest artists on stage and he never upstages them .
Yes!! He pays total homeage to AC!!!!
Helleo
He did a whole album to honor the Blues masters at Chess ♟ Records. (2120 S. Michigan Ave.)
You’re absolutely correct. 100%
So he was playing house of blues so I bought a cheap ticket. Got in line early. Asked the guy, where. And the guy said "floor"

Good wishes my friend.. Vinny UK
Sorry to hear about your wife.
I'm so very sorry for your loss RIP
OMG I'm so sorry for your loss. That is so sad. I'm sure she is with The Lord now
God bless your wife and you. You have a friend in Mexico, any time, Ok?. Love you man.
George throwing sparks with a slide and Albert Collins breaking a string and STILL
Master of the Telecaster....
This is music children.
Just doesn't get any better than this! I've heard it all, this is the greatest song of all time,
George just loves to jam. He's a pure musician.
The original mad man....saw him in person several times...always a great time!!!
I love how Mr. Collins gets the telecaster to say Thank You if you listen close he gets that fender to speak. Imagine inviting a guitar legend to play on stage with you and he accepts the invite what a night this must have been to be there and see this live.
That’s F you pal 😅
Watch , he’s even mouthing it LoL

THE most underrated guitar player of all time, period!

Great powerfull Gitarrist❤
I love them blues Feelings and riffs, and Gitarrist ❤😊

Yep his the master
Brilliant stuff. Rory Gallagher was noted for changing a broken string on the run.
George is seriously ill right now. Pray for his recovery.

Fully recovered, as you can see.
George T.. simply iconic! Style. Talent. His music will stay in my heart forever.
This is one performer who knows how to put on a show the man could Rock!!!
We owe these original soul brothers so much. Such swagger groove
Great entertainer, Thanks for being part of my life, George. ( thank-you too Albert.)
40 years ago and still the best!
THIS is what is meant by the term "ROCK and ROLL"! Some damn great music
Awesome as ALWAYS! ❤❤❤
This blues session is AMAZING! Holy crap! And Albert Collins is incredible. .
Piece of Art!
I worked security in the 80s, saw a million shows and the craziest crowd I ever saw was at a Lonesome George show! He was incredible as always!!
RIP Albert amazing job in this performance!
Didn't realize George had Albert Collins with him here. What a treat, Albert was one of the greats, an absolutely original and unique stylist.
This is what a great talent does. Keeps playin". He knows damn good and well his strings are broke. The show must go on. Albert Collins is a true talent.
thorogood has got to be one of the most underrated guitarists, no? Gearjammer is such a sick song, along with most of his catalog.
+calixa Collins is a pretty good guitarist, but no, George Thorogood isn't. He does a good job with effects and distortion, but he's mostly just pounding on one chord the whole song, and almost all his songs are the same.
+Boyce Byerly Nothing like saying George isn't a good guitarist while at the same time, listening to Madison Blues without complaint...
pius the slide ? you don't like this you cant hear ! listen and love Diane . thx
Boyce, take this L just for that first name.
Boyce: 15 million album sales, 6 gold albums, 2 platinum. But keep telling yourself he's overrated due to his "effects". The man is nothing if notorious for being consistent for his Gibson ES-125TDC into a Fender Dual Showman. What kind of success have you had in the music industry again?
AND ALBERT WITH A BROKEN STRING STILL SMASHING IT!!!!!
George you the man and will always be the best rock'n' roll man in my books! Damn right!
And on the Telecaster five string Mr Albert Collins...
To me Lonesome George is one of the best Blues Compiler ever.

Great musician may he rest in peace
Albert breaks a string, and just sounds the same as before.
Cuz that's how the pros do it
Nobody leaves this place without singing the blues
Too bloody right, I once amazed a couple of friends by singing Mood Indigo and watch their faces as three very yappy Spanish little dogs all retreated from their fence to gawk in silence. It was very comical but only deep-felt blues can do that 💜
One of my all time favorite songs from George. Just had it pumping on my sound bar ... you know the Story. . A few beers on a Saturday afternoon .. etc etc it's young Saturday night ..

This is what music was always meant to sound
The drivel that is shoved in our ears today pales in comparison
I have seen George 4x. Never puts on a bad show.
