You're trying to compare one of the best rock'n roll bands ever on one of their best shows ever with a guy who, while being talented, is almost a parody of blues and rock...

Thorogood always reminds me of Mojo Nixon :

…..well Thorogood would definitely say he was the best …..



ROCKMAN

Aahh that's the confidence of the Stones, baby.

George was on fire at the time, with a rockin band delivering one heck of show, but what do you remember from the night? 45mins of Covers or 2:20 of Original Rock, granted with a couple of covers.

Stones destroyed all

Listening to Let It Bleed should answer your question.

I must say George is a good entertainer. And sings and play the guitar simultaneously. Footwork of a light weight boxer. An impressive four piece band.
Really good sax player. Straightforward rock and roll. Nothing more. Nothing less.

I"m not Thoroghly convinced George was better than the Stones.

This is not April fools day

Never was a fan of Thorogood's singing or playing. Hampton was a fantastic show.

A comparison between The J. Geils Band and the Stones on their 82 tour would be a harder one...

I think he did very well at Live Aid though: [www.youtube.com]
