- The George/WEBN tape has been carefully preserved all these years, almost like I knew one day there'd be all this. With such amazing audio quality and intimacy, it may very well be the best early-ish George live recording. After recommending the band seek a commercial release, and then waiting years not seeing anybody beat me to uploading it, I finally had to share. Forced to piracy by these dire circumstances! It's possible the masters burned up in the Big Four Building fire of 1987..... but, 38 years ago in Cincinnati, Lonesome George let it fly! January 23, 1979. Brilliant from all sides-- the band's hot, a stellar setlist, the DJ's pro, the production's snappy, and the crowd is LOVING IT. Thank you George, Destroyers, WEBN 102.7, and 5th Floor Studio.

i seem to recall one of those instros is called "new hawaiian boogie"
thanks for doing this! i knew somebody would eventually
I think maybe #4 "Johnny B. Goode" should be "Manhattan Slide"........that is definitely Elmore James he's playing!!!..lol
Sick Set
SonnyBurnett1988 - Track 13 is definetely "Hey, Bo Diddley" (by Bo Diddley)
Love this! I miss the saxophone!
George at his at absolute best, simply amazing sound. That version of Manhattan Slide is to die for,
Living in Cincinnati for the last 15 years, this is a great find. George is a true blues rocker and fantastic to hear his early work. Great quality.
Amazing audio quality and an outstanding performance ! Thanks !🌞
Thanks for posting, ace quality sound with George at his best !!
Thanks for posting. What a great snapshot in time. Pisses me off when people give him the short shrift. He was keeping this kind of music alive while the Stones were doing Emotional Rescue. He kept the flame of Chuck Berry and John Lee Hooker alive, back when the others that were influenced by them forgot about them. Keeping it simple isn't always the easiest thing to do over the course of 40+ years. GT never strayed from the flame and proudly kept the flame alive. I listen to them first couple Rounder records and his live shows whenever I get the blues. Listen to the live Boston '82 show. Tell me what band would want to follow them after that show? If George made a penny off each beer that was drunk during one of his shows he'd be a billionaire. If this music doesn't make you wanna pop an oat soda, what would?
TY for your comment. I love GT'S music. He is awesome. And ''One Way Ticket" well I love it.
George blew away the Stones during their Still Life tour. And I’m a huge Stones fan.

I’m sure that there’s stuff out there, but I haven’t heard anything good from the Still Life tour. The album, the audio from Let’s Spend The Night Together. That film was my intro to the Stones and I wasn’t impressed. It took a friend from college and his copy of Hot Rocks to set things straight.
Totally agree !!!
Stormbring try listening to Get Yer Ya Ya’s Out or Brussels Affair for great Stones live recordings.
This is amazing!
there's only one lonesome George!!!!!! 🔥👍😎👏
"AWSOME"!!!!!. Thanks for an EXECELLENT TIME.
"You Guys ROCK"!(VERY EXECITING MUSIC)!😎
TY TY TY Thank Thank You
I remember this thanks for upload this man remember my youth
Saw him at Hollywood Casino in Ohio about two years ago, and he was just as excellent all these years later as he is in this recording. Best show they ever had there!!
Nothin Better than Live
MY dude u rock my face at Akron university late 80s awesome show
I saw them in 1981 (?) on their "50 states in 50 days" tour and the energy of George and the band was fantastic. What a great concert.
Wow! Just found this posting. Pretty sure I engineered this session. What a flashback!
you sir are a legend for having a hand in this gem.
I've been searching for Taj Mahal's 5th Floor recording for years (since mine was stolen). Any useful leads?
did you work with the deads crew at all?
I mixed 3 of Georges shows at Toads Place for WPLR-FM 99.1 What a great performer, I think it was the 50/50 tour he did 3 sets, we only broadcast the 3rd so he ran a dance contest during the the 2nd set, he was great. I'll give you a url to a 1980 show here:

Hugs from France ! Love George 🎸😍
Hola jefe,me complace escucharlo,gracias.Saludos.
I listened to this broadcast on WEBN when I was 19 yrs old. Recorded it on a cassette that was later stolen from my car. so thankful to have found this!!! Thanks!!!
I too have had tapes stolen from my car. Devastating!
Yes I recorded it as well..only to have someone borrow it and never return it :( THEN to have ALL those reel to reel masters from those 5th Floor Concerts burn up in the fire in 1987...depressing!! There were soo many : George Thorogood 1979 , Dixie Dregs 1978, Robin Trower 1974, Loggins And Messina 1972, Shooting Star 1981, NightRanger 1983, Rick Derringer 1984. Those are the few I remember
@@Kyle19002 I also recorded this on cassette tape...later recorded it to a CD.....no one stole mine. It is my "go to" when I want to hear George Thorogood.
@@obtuse72 Any chance of getting a copy? email me at mediamankyohio@gmail.com
Ditto. I was 14 when I recorded this directly off the radio, onto cassette. Stolen from my car around 1983. My son was playing GT in my car last weekend and I told him about this concert. Glad I found it.
Just started listening to the show and fantastic so far... there is a track 22 minutes in that he plays during Madison Blues in the early 80's.... That is the best .. thank you for sharing. Cheers
George is a gifted man..with out his band he would be just George.
Lonesome George, been his fan since the start. Thanks for posting! 👍🔥
He Played Stanley theater in Pgh, Pa in 83 and People were Bouncing, Gyrating and Dancing, it was Like a FN Revival !! GT&DT are Infectious & Amazing Live !!
RE: Steve Martin The Jerk , I Can't Stop My Leg when he Heard the Blues for the 1st time, It was Kinda Like That but Way Betta !!!
Great show! The 5th floor radio concert series was awesome. Does anyone happen to have Taj Mahal's concert? Mine was stolen years ago and I'd give anything to hear it again.
incredible quality, thank you so much for uploading this !! :)
This is fantastic. Thank you!
I so remember this, thanks for sharing it DID rock!
This is probably the best recording of George and the Destroyers you will hear...unless you saw them from the start. George is right, he preforms on a 125, and nobody does it better then he does. Not everyone can be 6"3 and hit the ball 500 feet out of the ball park....c'est la vie..
i have seen him 8 times. The first time was Charleston SC in76. He smoked the joint!i
@@brucebeggs5153 I'd love to know more about the 1976 George Thorogood show
WOW, TY for posting this. I just love listening to George play,sing, and watch him also. But I never have seen him in person. I thank UA-cam and you for posting so I can. I didn't know he was 6'3''. I love this post,TY.
Awesome.
Ooh damn this is rock
Amazing
FUKK YEAH
GO BOY GO .... 🤘🤘
🎸🎸🔊🔊. 💃💃💃
Ssssssssssague long live Rock AND Roll
This is a great live recordng.I have this on a cassette that I recorded off the air when the concert was broadcast live. I came across it about ten years ago and the quality was still good so transferred it to CD. I was trying to pin down the year. Thanks!
It was recorded at %th floor Studios in Cincinatti Ohio, the studio burned down several years later
5th floor studios
Any chance of getting a copy thru snailmail Timothy or Mosttiptoptopcat???
Any chance that you might have Taj Mahal's 5th floor radio broadcast? Mine was stolen long ago & I still miss it. Thanks.
A is for AWESOME 👍👍👍

@@mosttiptoptopcat it’s on a cassette. How do you do it?
@@mosttiptoptopcat I have hundreds of live shows off the radio back in the day
@@jamesbrugaletta9059 i have ancient gear, when it dies i'm finished! the catalogs have things today i 100% do not understand. i have a harmon kardon cd recorder that can accept an analog signal, my second one. limping along with obsolete tech! then i transfer the CDR to mp3 it's quite an ordeal...
1:00:24 amazing!
titles ?
So how tall is George?
Any Chance you could send me the picture of george and jeff(portrait drawlings) used in this video?
none of the live photos just the drawings. Would be greatly appreciated!
@@VineandVibe i drew that in high school. how do i send it to you? just credit the artiste, that is, namely, me.
most tip top Top Cat you can enail me at ksimo05@gmail.com and of course i would credit ya. Its more for me personally, good drawling of my pop
Mom drinks and drives guys.
Say is that Eddie Fingers doing the introduction?
This was before Eddie's time there.
Oh manhattan slide how I wish the songs were divided just to have manhattan slide
Sick as fuck . Thank you
Doesn't it sound a bit faster, I mean the tape speed?
they do sound perky, i always attributed it to youth and enthusiasm. my possibly flawed ears remember them sounding exactly like this from that night. nowhere near as off as my true believers upload! that one is slow, but cool.
I don't drink and I don't drive I drink tea guys and koolaid guys.
Still raw, not famous yet.
