About this album

Live is a hard-driving document of George Thorogood & The Destroyers in their most natural setting: a loud, unfiltered stage show. Issued in 1986, it captures the band’s blunt-force mix of blues rock and rock ’n’ roll, built around Thorogood’s rasping vocals, slide guitar and crowd-pleasing swagger. Drawing on staples such as “Who Do You Love?”, “One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer” and “Bad to the Bone”, the album turns familiar material into rough-edged party music with a working-band edge. It reinforced Thorogood’s reputation as one of the era’s most dependable live draws and a master of no-frills bar-band excess.

Genre: Pop & Rock
