This was my second time seeing George Thorogood (click here to read about the first time). He was great both times. There is not a whole lot to say; George is just fun, straight-ahead rockin’ blues. He doesn’t take himself too seriously, just wants to play guitar and have a good time. And that is exactly what his concerts are like, just a good time.
I was not able to find the setlist from this particular show, but I did find one from the same tour when he played in Salem, OR. While 1983 was a long time ago, this seems pretty consistent with what I remember from this show, so here it is. Rock it on over…
Setlist
- The House of Blue Lights
- Who Do You Love?
- I’m Wanted
- Cocaine Blues
- Wanted Man
- Bad to the Bone
- Move It on Over
- The Sky Is Crying
- Madison Blues
- El Paso
- It Wasn’t Me
- Willie and the Hand Jive
- Night Time
- No Particular Place to Go
Encore:
- One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer
- Nobody but Me
- Wild Weekend
Loved those George albums Bad To The Bone and especially Maverick. In this day and age people could take a lesson from George. Chill out relax and have some fun and crank the boogie rock!
Thanks for this post Jeff. Nice to see the Stub Collection back.

Thanks Deke. Yeah, moving twice in a year makes writing tough, especially since I write for a living – LOL. Glad you dug the post. Hope all is well, and stay healthy in these strange times.
