It seems that George Thorogood comes to Massey Hall in Toronto every second year and we go see him ... and why not! Thorogood always puts on a great high energy show and Massey Hall is the best place in the city to see a concert.
Tonight Teena and I made the pilgrimage on a rainy night to see Thorogood once again.
As always, Thorogood and the Destroyers put on a hell of a show. A blues band from Kansas City, Trampled Under Foot, opened the show with a half hour set and were really good. Then after a half hour intermission, on came George!
Thorogood is not only a great guitar player but also a great showman. He owns the stage when he is on it and I enjoy the way he entices the fans to applaud and eats it all up. The crowd loved it when he told the how his nineties song Haircut (Get a haircut and get a real job, Clean your act up and don't be a slob) became his only number one song on the radio,and that was in Canada!
He played all the old favorites, as usual. After all that's what Teena and I and the rest of the crowd came to hear. At 64 years old, he played a high energy, nonstop show.
Should he come back to Toronto again, sure enough Teena and I will be there again!
