George Thorogood - Move On Over - 1979

[Austinite333]

I saw George early in is career before he went big. A club in Marshfield, MA back in the early to mid 70's. George was actually playing back up for a local favorite named Johnny Barnes. Wild weather outside held the crowd to a whopping 50 people at best. Good time to see a rock legend.

cutie pie, what can I say

[frankenz66]

@ TheMrconcreteman LOL I notice .. your speaking of your friend opening for George in PAST tense.. I'd fire him too. But yeah...He should have just fired him instead of commenting.he and the group are some of the best!!

[GawdOfThunder]

I've been a fan of George Thorogood for 3 decades and always look forward when he is playing in town. My IPod is Loaded with his stuff, nothing better to run with. Thanks George!

[ritapac1]

How old is he now

[khiltscher]

The answer is easy. I sold 38 years a lot of records to people - like me - who can't read notes, don't know a chord and can't judge real harmonies. They and I listen to some records who touches your soul. No matter how good or bad the artist or the music really is.

[Kaalec]

Why this guy was ever considered a blues artist mystifies me. Can't play, can't sing, can't write. A real triple threat.

[davemooreblues]

@Kaalec You're an idiot.



[BastardJack]

@Kaalec Cause hes got soul and his music is accessible to a broad demographic

[zhope7]

@Kaalec well to begin with...... he cant sing or play.... but the song wasnt written by him.... he ruined this song... look up hank williams version

[ARealFungi1]

@zhope7 Why the hate? George and me go back right to the begining and he still rocks!

[TruthAxe]

And then Stevie Ray Vaughn showed up and ruined George Thorogood's pretend blues guitar playing career.

Oh and he can't sing.

[AllBobsAllTheTime]

@TruthAxe So how'd that all work out for Stevie Ray???

[SlightlyB0nkers]

@AllBobsAllTheTime Well he kinda died in a helicopter crash after finally being clean for some time.

[ultrakool]

saw gt and the destroyers in '78 at the bijou cafe and he had the crowd in the palm of his hand. on a side note, remember the feral boy in the road warrior? i swear, that kid looked like geo to a tee. hahaha

[daviesp666]

he looks like john bishop!

[TheMrconcreteman]

MY BUDDY TRAVIS WAS A DRUMMER WHO OPENED FOR THOROGOOD IN EUROPE...HE WAS ALWAYS GETTIN HIGH, THOROGOOD WALKED UP TO HIM AND SAID HE WAS TRIED OF WATCHING HIM GET STONED, TRAVIS TOLD THOROGOOD TO FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUCK OFF.......

[khiltscher]

@TheMrconcreteman Nice story:-)

[jk1802]

@khiltscher ...and he told it so well, with such enthusiasm

[alphuez]

@TheMrconcreteman Good idea telling Thorogood to fuck off.

What an idiot. How Travis's career, fame and life going compared to Thorogood's? Can you link us to some awesome stuff of his here on YouTube?

[Zackmo92]

@TheMrconcreteman

Cool story, brah

[55KatDaddy]

The guitar is slightly out of tune here-that doesn't help matters much !!! However, this sounds just like George did on the "Move It On Over" record. I still think that that record is George's best album overall

[paunchetow]

That sounded like s--t

[StevenVerd]

I wish I could find a woman with a pie hole like that!

[MrShane89]

the guitar was out of tune and everything! lol

[theoriginalbadbob]

I love that Chuck Berryesque "duck walk" that George does.

[7Seektruth]

Saw George in 81. He opened for the Rolling Stones. He sounded better and was more entertaining than the stones.

[khiltscher]

@7Seektruth - I immediatly understand what you said !! George could be in the Stones, but only until 1970 :-))

[awsomeshot]

@khiltscher my parents saw him play in bangor in 1987 he was piss drunk and the show was horrible lol.

[theoriginalbadbob]

@7Seektruth That doesn't surprise me at all.

[dezertfox4323]

@7Seektruth As soon as George writes a song like 'Gimme Shelter' come see.

[haigh84]

classicccccccc

[bluesify100]

I've always wondered, of course not there missing, but I think a piano in the band would've made it sound even better. I think they should have added a piano first before they considered a saxophone.

[adamsfunnyfilms]

The best dam George vid I have seen yet! Raw, upclose, no fancy big band and stage bullshit, just the band wailin'....right on, man, far out. Straight to favs.

* * * * *

[tunderman7]

is george still alive?

[khiltscher]

@tunderman7 - yes - last year he released a CD - Boogie People.

[1sexyrocker]

I love this song! Thx a million George!

[hbg143]

Always loved this band make-up ... guitar, drums, bass, period. The addition of the saxophone to the group was a bad idea.

[bunkman64]

@hbg143 Love how they kept it simple in the early days..no flash or fancy clothes, just rock. Awsome.

[draganutube]

awesome

[bluehyway]

Lonesome George, tx for posting........Yeah!

[rubyrose456]

Wow! Thank you for this! Is there anymore? What a hot ticket!!!Thorogood has ALWAYS been!!! One in Millions, for sure! He just Rocks! the Destroyers, too....Much love...

[potatodar]
