George Thorogood and the Destroyers

Saturday, July 26, 2008 • 7 p.m.

George Thorogood and his band the Destroyers came out of Delaware in the ‘70s as a jarringly high-energy bunch with raucous, slide guitar-stoked, blues-rock tunes. Their album Move It On Over struck big and success continued with records including Bad to the Bone and Born to Be Bad with the hit, "You Talk Too Much." The single "Get a Haircut" and blockbuster albums followed into the new millennium with Ride ‘Til I Die and a compilation, Greatest Hits: 30 Years of Rock. Their newest album, Hard Stuff, contains covers of tracks by John Lee Hooker, Jimmy Reed and Fats Domino as well as Thorogood originals.

Buddy Guy

Buddy Guy is a Rock ‘n' Roll Hall of Fame inductee and the purveyor of a stinging, attacking electric guitar style and wild, impassioned vocals. He realized smashing Grammy success in the ‘90s with Damn Right, I've Got the Blues, Feels Like Rain and Slippin' In. Subsequent releases like Live: The Real Deal, Heavy Love and 2001's Sweet Tea demonstrated that Guy, while firmly ensconced in his blues roots, has always tried to keep his music looking forward. And now, he continues with Bring ‘Em In, which finds Guy trading licks with the likes of Carlos Santana ("I Put A Spell On You") and John Mayer ("I've Got Dreams to Remember").

The Britt Fest hit a gland slam homerun with this fabulous co-bill!! Buddy Guy is an authentic blues legend with amazing charisma. He could have played all night, and I never would have been bored. Then, George Thorogood came out and rocked the house down. Good time rock-n-roll that had everyone dancing and smiling. We made some wonderful memories and new friends. AWESOME show!!!! Thanks!

Buddy Guy never fails to impress. This is the second time we’ve seen him at the Britt. I was looking forward to George Thorogood but was very disappointed with his show. I’ve never seen so many people leave during the second bill before. Next time I’d let Buddy headline and get someone else to open.
