I'm not on Instagram and I don't know how to do all that stuff but I honestly want you to review this Bo Diddley George Thorogood absolutely loved him they should play this on a loop ...as people walk into the Rock and roll Hall of Fame...
Apparently George's parent lived in one of the towns in the county I live in here on Florida's West Coast. Sometime in the late 80s I was driving home from work I was first in line at a traffic light. A second later this loud ass motorcycle pulled up in the turn lane next to me. The guy shot me this big toothy grin and immediately recognized him as someone I knew and asked how he was doing. He nodded and said I'm doin' great. With that the lights turned green and we both took off on our separate ways. It was at that moment I realized who it was...George Thorogood.
Yeah, this live version left out my favorite part, where he went down to his good friend's house and asked to stay with him for a couple of days. "He said, 'Uh, lemme go ask my wife'..."
George is the definition of a bar band. You need to check out Bad To The Bone, I Drink Alone, Haircut, and Move It On Over. This song is a cover of a John Lee Hooker. It is actually a combination of two JLH songs One Burbon and House Rent Boogie
I've been recommended this one to him for a long time. I think it's his best. Also, you can see him and Stevie Ray Vaughan on stage giving a tribute to Chuck Berry. Worth the watch.
See? Here's Jamel, tempting me away from work with a song I haven't heard in forever. I was going to be a good little girl and pay attention to my reports but nooo... notification squad got me.
I appreciate that some folks like my comment. I am nearly 75, and grew up in Chicago. When George goes to the "juke box" the names are the blues heroes I was so blessed to see and hear in person. If you have seen "The Blues Brothers" movie, John Lee Hooker is the street musician playing on Madison St. , outside Ray Charles' music shop. The hat he wears is called a "Homberg," and is a very formal hat in the UK and the "Continent." It was Hooker's trademark and as a blues guitarist and a true fan, I wear a genuine Homberg. when I play . I used to sneak into the Southside and get into the after hours clubs; Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, Buddy Guy, JLH and more. I was welcomed because I was there "at the altar." Now and again, a tall, cold beer would magically appear on my table at the back, by the door. The best nights were when one of those great men asked me to "come up front." Without them, there would be no R & R for us to share. I may be Jamel's eldest follower. It is great to see him react to my music. I offer sincere thanks to those who request what I believe is real music (plus, Southern Gospel).--- PS; none of Jamel's "Top 5" bands are in my top 5, but a couple make my top 10. Add wink emoji.
I've been to a few of his concerts. Even old as dirt, he's damn entertaining to watch. He tends to change lyrics and stuff to match whatever town he's in.
I've been to a few George concerts in my 60 years and every one in the audience is up dancing and moving from the first song on. George is an underrated guitarist and deserves to be in the Hall of Fame.
The one concert I have been too was George Thorogood with Joe Bonamassa opening in the mid 90's in San Diego. I had never heard of Joe Bonamassa, but I was so impressed by him, that I bought his CD on my way out the door halfway through Georges set. Don't know if George was just past his prime or maybe a little too drunk to begin with, but it was bad, and not in the good way :( I wish I could have caught him on a good day.
I saw George T. perform this song at the first concert I ever attended. He was part of a lineup that included The Rolling Stones, The J. Geils Band, and Prince at the Coliseum in Los Angeles in the early 80s. Man! What a show! Fast forward to 2019, and I run into George T. at an event at USC, which he was supporting, and I was photographing. When I told him I saw him play with the Rolling Stones, he corrected me, and said the Rolling Stones were playing with me. Love GT!
@@imagesinla8575 All those years are a blur now... during that time I saw Steve Via in Reseda just after he left Zappa doing his Flexible album. He brought Dwezil on stage to jam with him doing the song, My Guitar wants to do something harmful to your Momma. I saw Roger Water's with Eric Clapton (Pro and Con Tour and Radio Kaos), Pink Floyd, Police, Who, Bowie, Zappa, Yes with and without Rick Wakeman, Pure Prairie League doing Amie and many more. Walsh ended his set with Rocky Mountain Way and George needed to get the audience on his side. He started his set with the theme to Batman. Everyone was screaming "Batman" in the appropriate spots. Those were the best years to be growing up in America. I started with ELP, Beach Boys with Dennis Wilson, Grateful Dead with Jerry... heck, while I was at Chicago-Fest I got to see the Blues Brothers (Belushi and Aykroyd). They were in town promoting their movie. They were some duds too... Tubes, Flock of Seagulls and others I’ve mentally blocked out. Those were the years of great music.
@@nickdanger4568 Wow! Just Wow! Agreed, those were some great times to grow up in the USA! Kudos to you for being able to have those great experiences.
That’s the concert the crowd with Hells Angels in it threw beer bottles on stage at Prince when he came onstage wearing overcoat and bloomers. Unless they played more than one date at the Coliseum that tour
I think we saw a very rare species: The real musician. Does what he does, because he loves it and has fun and uses his art to tell some kind of story. I think they are already extinct these days.
I saw Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen maybe 50 years ago ((great show). Then I saw them again maybe 5 years ago in a dinner theater (again, a great concert). After the show, Commander Cody was putting on his coat to leave and I went up to him to tell him the I really enjoyed the show. And I told him that after all these years, he should have been promoted to Admiral. I thought it was funny. He didn't even crack a smile and just walked away.
I remember driving up to upper NY from LI for white water rafting in the first week of March 1988 with a bunch of friends; 4 cars in addition to mine. I had one of Thorogood's albums just out on cassette and everybody wanted to take it in their car--it's GREAT night driving music on long open roads and we were flying home at 80+mph. After one car listened to it,, we'd get really close to another car to hand it off to another car through the windows, then they'd pass it to the car same way after listening, until it finally came back to me.. Great memory which only could have happened by q]ignoring how stupid we were being. . Great music, and only 2 tickets. 😎 Today anyone can listen to practically anything without sharing in that way, but I wouldn't have missed it for the world. Simple amusements made us happy then.
Yes he is....I still remember him calling out to the audience "You can only stay in those seats for so long....This here's a Rock N Roll show so it's ok to get up and Dance!!!!" Had him play his guitar on the heads of every fan in the front row that night, I came out of that show with his slide....love every minute of it, and that was almost 30 years ago.
George came to play at a north county bar in St. Louis in the late 70s which I was lucky to attend, I was wearing a ten gallon Charlie Daniel's cowboy hat up to the front of the stage and George pointed to me that he wanted to wear my hat for a couple of songs and I eagerly complied. A concert I'll never forget
I saw these guys way back in the late 70's or early 80s in NZ, I cant quite remeber the year. It was their first ever concert over here. Anyway after 4 encores they literally had to pull the plug to stop them playing. 100% perfection.
Right I drink alone absolutely must have. I saw that man in 1984 my wife and I in Flint Michigan, it takes a lot to impress me because I am a huge Elvis Presley fan and I've seen the Man 5 times in concert but George Thorogood blew me the fuck away. That man came out in a white T-shirt you could hardly see the band behind him it was like a one man show it was incredible. He was an incredible blues guitarist and performer
I saw George Thorogood live at the House of Blues in Chicago. I was right in the front next to the stage. He gives out great energy when you see him live.
I was at that concert in Philadelphia! My friends & I were teenagers at the time and they rocked it that night. George & his Delaware Destroyers were a great band and lots of fun to see live.
We need more true artists like this, that know they don't have to put on a flashy show, because everyone is there to see them and listen to their jams. Today's groups are all about how they look, or come off on camera, and don't seem to give a damn about the art.
I saw George Thorogood on stage in 1981. Lead on the bill was The Rolling Stones. Also was The J Geils Band. GREAT SHOW!!! I think George was the best part, and he didn't keep us waiting a really long time like the Stones did, lol. One of my fondest memories.
I saw George Thorogood in concert once, here in Portland, OR, 30 years after this concert in the video, and he and the Delaware Destroyers were just as good and energetic in 2014.
I saw George perform when I was like 12 years old and my brother and I were front and center in front of him and he did some banter with us in between songs.
Did the same thing myself, was 17 at the time, front row center stage, had the man play his guitar on top of my head....as well as the rest of the front row...came away with his slide that night. Halloween night 1987...great show from start to finish.
I have seen George several times, always a good time. I took a young lady to a show at the Egg and when he came out the place went nuts! She turned to me and said "He hasn't done anything yet" didn't matter we knew he would.
He came to Louisville in the 80's. There was this guy in a wheelchair down on the floor and he had two stage workers lift him up on stage to watch the show. I thought that was so cool.
Wasn't at that show, but i was at one nearby and around that time, and it was just as fun. Mr. Thorogood ALWAYS puts on a high-energy, full-throttle, in-your-face concert. That is what he lives for. George is a good ol' rocker from the word GO. He and The Delaware Destroyers are coming to your town, so look out.
I was at this show one of my first shows I think I was 16 or 17 great performer thanks for sharing all of those great classics keep doing your thing ✌💀⚡🌹✌💨💨💨
Hey Jamel, seeing as you enjoyed this song Here's a few more George Thorogoode songs that you should definitely check out: Bad To The Bone Who Do You Love Move It On Over
GT did a great cover of that. My husband and I saw him and the Destroyers live in the late 1970's in the DC area. They were fantastic. GT's whole first album is fantastic. By the way, at that time they never toured in the summer because it was baseball season and GT always played baseball!
Saw George and the Destroyers many times over the years growing up, always a really fun show. First time I saw him was in some old movie theatre turned concert hall in Pasadena when they were only a 3 piece band. They played, kept coming back out, people would leave, would come back out, played whatever they knew, Beatles songs, etc. Played for 4 hours that night and was a fan ever since. You always would leave with such a high feeling. Saw/met George a couple times way back when at El Torito in Sherman Oaks. His concerts were a nice part of my life growing up. "Gearjammer" is a must Jamal!
Heard a story about a fan coming up to George and saying George may not be the best singer or the best guitarist, but he puts on the best show. George loved that.
I wasn't at that concert, but did see George Thorogood & The Delaware Destroyers at a live small venue concert in 1981 in St. Paul, MN. One of the best concerts I have ever seen,
George Thorogood really loved Bo Diddley. I'm sending you a video right now. I really want to push for this they should play this on a loop when people enter the Rock and roll Hall of Fame let me get this....
When I worked as a DJ in a bar in Alabama, we had a special that was offered every time I played this song. We called it a "George Thorogood Destroyer", and if you went up to the bar and ordered one as the song played you got each of those three drinks. And you had to slam the two shots before you could walk back to your table with the beer.
hey jamal, my clinically diagnosed ocd tendencies have made my life lonely since feb of 2020. music is my outlet and i love to see someone else enjoy the art as much as me. thanks for being with me brother. you help me feel less alone!!!!
Jamel, this is George's combination of John Lee Hooker's "House Rent Blues" and "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer". He added a number of words to each song, and there ya go! George had a sound and style all his own.
Music has been a very important part of my life since I was 6 (1966) and I heard Wayne Fontana and the Mind Benders and The Beatles. I have long been a fan of George Thorogood so I am humbled that I have never listened to Elvin Bishop until now. I will now end up going down the EB rabbit hole.
I had concert tickets for two shows in 2019 that were postponed until this year. George Thorogood and the Destroyers was the last concert I got to go to before the covid shut down. Feb 28, 2019. Yes, he still shows you a great time at his concerts. You nailed it about the fan anticipation AND participation. It was a blast. 😊✌💙
In the 80's they would play this song when the bars were dying down to get everyone going again! Many memories with this song!!! In Canada they would do it!!
I was lucky enough to work directly across the street from the Capitol Theater in Passaic NJ. I was at this show as well as 100’s more at this all time classic rock venue. All of the best bands played there. George always put on a great super fun show. Still does. I recall that this show was connected to an MTV series of blues themed shows all hosted by George at the Capitol. I was in the first row right behind the camera track.
This is a cover of two different John Lee Hooker songs, “House Rent Boogie” and “One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer”. Both great songs, JLH is my favorite blues artist. Another one he does that I’m really into right now is “Shake It Baby”.
Got to see George live a few years back and he rocked the house! Brightest smile in Rock n Roll! And when I see a slide on a guitar player's finger, I know good things are about to happen! My favorite GT tune is Madison Blues, I put it on repeat and go for a drive!
On day a young Puerto Rican man told me about a party he had with his friends. I said when your mouth is getting dry you're plenty high. He didn't get it. Lol This is an old blues song he covered.
I had the pleasure of seeing him live in a small venue in Montreal Quebec and he stood on top of my table where I sat with my GF (at the time) and another couple while he did his solo for Madison Blues.

Jamel, that song came out in 1953. Re-recorded in 1966 by John Lee Hooker then again in 1977 by George T

Thanks, Bill! I did not know that!
Good to know.
And "If You Don't Start Drinkin, I'm Gonna Leave" "Gear Jammer" and "Who Do You Love?"!!!
i was going to comment about this being a johnny lee hooker jam. glad to see someone already did!
John Lee Hooker and a lot of the Chicago and Delta blues men need to be listened to so that we don't forget their amazing influence in British rock.
Move it on over, bad to the bone, steady rollin
Prioties good music over work...
Ba ba ba ba baba bad!

Agree. You read those lyrics, you have to listen. Very clever.
Don’t need the lyrics 🤦♂️ he sings in plain English why do you need to read lyrics when you understand what he’s saying?
he took tangents all over on this one since it was live. Studio version still has the best story imo.
I was lucky enough to catch George Thorogood and the Destroyers when they were still a bar band in Delaware. What a fantastic show.

I’d recommend Bad To The Bone but it’s been used so often in movies no doubt you’ve heard it. Move It On Over is worth a reaction too.
The Sky is Crying is another good one you never hear.
@@spyseefan975 definitely. And Delaware Slide.
You would LOVE Brian Setzer, please check out “The Stray Cats”?
YES!!!
Setzer has a large catalog from his rockabilly stuff to that 90's swing revival stuff. He's awesome.
@@davefl67 check out Pokey Lafarge

I have seen George several times, always a good time. I took a young lady to a show at the Egg and when he came out the place went nuts! She turned to me and said "He hasn't done anything yet" didn't matter we knew he would.
He came to Louisville in the 80's. There was this guy in a wheelchair down on the floor and he had two stage workers lift him up on stage to watch the show. I thought that was so cool.
Love his cover of Hank Williams Sr’s Move it on Over! Also love Bad to the Bone!
Oh help me jesus, if you want to rock this is the dam song. I cant stop moving, this is so bad ass. Thank you jamal💕💕💕💕💕🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
Wasn't at that show, but i was at one nearby and around that time, and it was just as fun. Mr. Thorogood ALWAYS puts on a high-energy, full-throttle, in-your-face concert. That is what he lives for. George is a good ol' rocker from the word GO. He and The Delaware Destroyers are coming to your town, so look out.
I was at this show one of my first shows I think I was 16 or 17 great performer thanks for sharing all of those great classics keep doing your thing ✌💀⚡🌹✌💨💨💨
This was on the radio the other day & I thought "Wonder if Jamel has done this yet" :D :D
CLASSIC!
It's definitely time for Jamel to do a lonesome George Thorogood series!!!
I saw George with Steve Miller live once, great show
George Thorogood & The Delaware Destroyers always put on a great Blues show. Saw them many a time growing up near Philly
Man you are so right it was amazing to see old George back in the day. The energy in the crowd was unbelievable. We did all party hardy.
Hey Jamel, seeing as you enjoyed this song
Here's a few more George Thorogoode songs that you should definitely check out:
Bad To The Bone
Who Do You Love
Move It On Over
You Talk To Much
Move It On Over was originally a Hank Williams song, so I'd love to see a reaction to both versions
I drink alone
@@amandafuller6604 I forgot about that one
That Same Thing.
"Move It On Over" is a great song, written by Hank Williams.
GT did a great cover of that. My husband and I saw him and the Destroyers live in the late 1970's in the DC area. They were fantastic. GT's whole first album is fantastic. By the way, at that time they never toured in the summer because it was baseball season and GT always played baseball!
I was lucky enough to see George T in Dallas 5 months ago. He rocked the house down!!
Such an entertainer!
Saw George and the Destroyers many times over the years growing up, always a really fun show. First time I saw him was in some old movie theatre turned concert hall in Pasadena when they were only a 3 piece band. They played, kept coming back out, people would leave, would come back out, played whatever they knew, Beatles songs, etc. Played for 4 hours that night and was a fan ever since. You always would leave with such a high feeling. Saw/met George a couple times way back when at El Torito in Sherman Oaks. His concerts were a nice part of my life growing up. "Gearjammer" is a must Jamal!
I wasn't there but I did see George Thorogood open up for the Steve Miller Band one time. That was a great show!
Where did you see that? I think I saw them in 90 in Anchorage Alaska
@@troydegroote2165 It was in Milwaukee Wisconsin at the State Fair. I think it was the mid 90s.
I saw him on that your too! Denver at Red Rocks, it was epic!
George is a pretty good guitarist for someone who, in his own words, could never figure out how to hold a pick without dropping it.
Heard a story about a fan coming up to George and saying George may not be the best singer or the best guitarist, but he puts on the best show. George loved that.
I wasn't at that concert, but did see George Thorogood & The Delaware Destroyers at a live small venue concert in 1981 in St. Paul, MN. One of the best concerts I have ever seen,
George Thorogood really loved Bo Diddley.
I'm sending you a video right now. I really want to push for this they should play this on a loop when people enter the Rock and roll Hall of Fame let me get this....
This is the essential song for the covid era.
I think "I Drink Alone" would be better for CV19.
@@shaitanlavey True true true lol
Or Dr. Hook/Shel Silverstein's "I got Stoned and I Missed it" for some people.
I have never drank alcohol in my 51 years, but I love this song, and feel what he is saying. :D
When I worked as a DJ in a bar in Alabama, we had a special that was offered every time I played this song. We called it a "George Thorogood Destroyer", and if you went up to the bar and ordered one as the song played you got each of those three drinks. And you had to slam the two shots before you could walk back to your table with the beer.
hey jamal, my clinically diagnosed ocd tendencies have made my life lonely since feb of 2020. music is my outlet and i love to see someone else enjoy the art as much as me. thanks for being with me brother. you help me feel less alone!!!!
Jamel, this is George's combination of John Lee Hooker's "House Rent Blues" and "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer". He added a number of words to each song, and there ya go! George had a sound and style all his own.
Music has been a very important part of my life since I was 6 (1966) and I heard Wayne Fontana and the Mind Benders and The Beatles. I have long been a fan of George Thorogood so I am humbled that I have never listened to Elvin Bishop until now. I will now end up going down the EB rabbit hole.
I had concert tickets for two shows in 2019 that were postponed until this year.
George Thorogood and the Destroyers was the last concert I got to go to before the covid shut down.
Feb 28, 2019.
Yes, he still shows you a great time at his concerts. You nailed it about the fan anticipation AND participation.
It was a blast.
😊✌💙
"Uhhhh, I dunno, man, she kinda funny and all."
I said, "I know. Everybody funny. Now you funny too."
"Now You Funny Too"!!!
Man you have to do the studio version, lyrics are epic!!!✌️
In the 80's they would play this song when the bars were dying down to get everyone going again! Many memories with this song!!! In Canada they would do it!!
I was lucky enough to work directly across the street from the Capitol Theater in Passaic NJ. I was at this show as well as 100’s more at this all time classic rock venue. All of the best bands played there. George always put on a great super fun show. Still does. I recall that this show was connected to an MTV series of blues themed shows all hosted by George at the Capitol. I was in the first row right behind the camera track.
This is a cover of two different John Lee Hooker songs, “House Rent Boogie” and “One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer”. Both great songs, JLH is my favorite blues artist.
Another one he does that I’m really into right now is “Shake It Baby”.
Love the shirt!
Appreciate You🙏🏾
George live in concert is out of this world.
Got to see George live a few years back and he rocked the house! Brightest smile in Rock n Roll! And when I see a slide on a guitar player's finger, I know good things are about to happen!
My favorite GT tune is Madison Blues, I put it on repeat and go for a drive!
Now would be a good time to review "I Drink Alone"
On day a young Puerto Rican man told me about a party he had with his friends. I said when your mouth is getting dry you're plenty high. He didn't get it. Lol
This is an old blues song he covered.
Everybody funny now you funny to.
@@BROU-bb2uc I walked up to another guy at work and he knew it immediately. The first guy was about 10 years younger.
I saw the band in San Jose in the 80s. Never stepped in so much broken glass in my life. Fantastic night!
What a great performance- Lonesome George and the great Elvin Bishop jammin' together! Just an awesome video- thanks Jamel!
There's Elvin Bishop sittin' on a bale of hay,
He ain't good looking but he sure can play.
And there's ZZ Top and you can't forget
That old brother Willie's gettin' soakin' wet
@@cindy844 And all the good people down in Tennessee
are digin' barefoot Jerry and C.D.B.
Hope your having a fabulous day
I had the pleasure of seeing him live in a small venue in Montreal Quebec and he stood on top of my table where I sat with my GF (at the time) and another couple while he did his solo for Madison Blues.
I wasn’t at this concert. But, I did see him in concert. For 30 minutes after the show, I couldn’t hear a think! But, it was awesome!
Forget Lunch Bucket Joe, this is Delaware's Finest ! Thanks JAMEL !
My first thought for a Delaware guy right here
Hey Brother check out George Thorogood "Ride on Josephine"
Love your Reactions Jamel!! I saw George open for Hank Williams Jr. a few years ago, He's still Bad to the Bone!
One of my earlier concerts was George....he rocked that stage the whole time! Johnny Winter opened!
Loved this .....Jersey Girl here!
Jersey boy on board!!! But living in Colorado since 1997. Who’s the boss? Not George😂😂😂😂😂
@@matthewfortune1746 BRUUUUCCCE. Asbury Park in the house
You’re in Asbury Park!!! Awesome! I was born at Monmouth medical 1974 same hospital as the BOSSSSSSS!
@@matthewfortune1746 I was born 1955 in Essex County. Family had summer house in Asbury then they sold it. I would then take train too see Bruce, Southside...etc.
Just one you remember that sounds like my dwi soberity test
There wasn't anything better than a good old-fashioned jam session
