They never fail to please and Friday night at Hard Rock was no exception. The sound was great, the energy high, and the crowd was digging it. George's interaction with the audience was amusing and entertaining. My only complaint would be that even though they did play for 90 minutes I would have loved to have heard them play longer. Continue to rock on, George and the Destroyers, there are few bands like you still around.

This IS rock and roll! I'm not what you call a huge fan of the band so I was not expecting a whole lot. Don't get me wrong here, I've always liked the guy and enough so to spend $45 and drive over an hour to get there. But I wasn't a rabid fan like so many in the audience seemed to be. I couldn't get over how enthusiastic some of the crowd were - it was like the Beatles, or dare I say, a Hannah Montana show. I thought that was a little odd - until Thorogood cranked it up and they had won me over by the third song. This band was so great that even someone who had never heard of George Thorogood or ever heard one of his songs would have to come away a convert.

In addition to being a pretty good guitarist, Thorogood mixes in just the right mix of rock star swagger with a workingman's sense of pride, never taking himself too serious. He has a little 50's retro thing going, a blues thing, and a wall of sound that keeps on coming. The lights and video were interesting too, very high tech without being overwhelming, not taking away from the show.

I think he played nearly two hours, including 2 encores. Every song kept getting better and better. These guys were in the groove! You Talk Too Much was his finale and what an ending it was. I have no idea what the guy is like in person but he comes across on stage as a hard working blue collar guy who, despite being the rock star, is just like one of the guys in the crowd. I noticed he still includes his obligatory pitch to remember the hardworking bartenders and waitresses with your tips. A little trick I might write off as a gimmick if I didn't know that he came into the bar in Jacksonville in 1983 where I used to hang out and shot pool and visited with the employees before the place opened for his show.

His band - tight, tight tight! Sound was perfect.

Great performance!

You sometimes think these older bands (bands that have been around a long time) won't do a good job; these guys were in sync with each other and the crowd.

The music sounded like the recordings you've heard in the past; just better live!
They should be the act in next year's super bowl!

I took my Aunt for her 60th birthday as a suprise, and they did not let us down. The concert was great, the interactio with the band and the lead singer was wonderful. They kept us laughing and rocking out the whole time. I would recommend this for people of all ages. Really enjoyed it. Thanks Hard Rock!

I went to this show with my son for his birthday. I have been listening to George and the Destroyers for years but probably would have never actually gone to a concert on my own desire. Now I am more than glad I did!! He rocked the Hard Rock for over an hour and a half. It was really a great show and way more than I expected. I would definitely go see them agian. Matter of fact...when ya coming back to Biloxi Georgie???

From the opening cord to the last lyric, George and the Destroyers were fantastic. The banter with the audience was classic Thorogood. George just plain knows how to entertain the crowd.

The lights dim.....the glowing blue haze hovering above and the mumbling sound of anticipation of what we all know is going to be a sultry hot night of sexy rock and roll. The spotlight beams and outwalks this tall handsome man with a swager in his walk. A smile that can make you believe anything he says is true! And then the magic begins...with one single stroke of the guitar...you immediately find yourself singing along with every word! His rockabilly style along with the bluesy sound of the delta reminds you of the souls of old blues.....the spirit that only a few artist have been able to achieve.....You rock George Thorogood...you always will.......

The Destroyers are not the originals except the drummer but George and the boys put on one hell of a rock and roll show last night. It was high energy from the first note and his showmanship was great. The Song list included a long list of hits and some new blues thrown in. And of course his Guest Tommy Shaw only made it better.
Great Show if you missed it get in line for the next one. Well worth the price of admission.

Favorite moment: All of the interaction with the crowd. We were 8 rows from the stage, stage right. You just don't get much closer to music icons than that. @

Setlist: All of their standards, plus several of their recent releases. You won't be short changed or disappointed. @

Opening act(s): A very good three piece band from Witchita, Kansas playing country blues style. They also kicked butt! Never did understand their name except ---------and Arbuckle. @

My first live performance of a name band in a long time. I treated my wife, brother and sister-in-law to the show and a stay at the casino. We didn't fare very well at any of the casino's, but the show George and the Deystroyers gave us was awesome! It went three encore's deep and well into the night. I just wish I had the where-with-all to follow them around from venue to venue like some folks do. George has not lost a step in the 30 plus years he has been hitting the stage. Outstanding vocals, musicianship and overall entertainment. Buddy Leach on saxaphone was phenomenal and got the crowd on their feet several times. Mississippi blues legend Mr. Shaw came on as a guest for three songs and did an outstanding job, as well. The entire band was in fine form and as lively as if they had just that day started playing together. I would go again tonight, if they were still in the area. You can bet that the next time they are nearby, I will be wearing out my credit card on Ticketmaster. Many of the groups that have been around for a while don't hold up vocally these days. That ain't the case for G.T. & the D. If you get the oppurtunity to see them live, don't deprive yourself of the pleasure. You will be entertained!

What a show! Non-stop high-energy performance followed by three curtain-calls. My wife is still talking about it and I have to drag her to concerts. She wants to go again! I don't think you can go wrong with GT and the Destroyers. It was especially nice to see young adults there in their 20's jamming right along with us oldtimers in their 50-60's.
