George Thorogood & The Destroyers
The Baddest Show On Earth with special guest Artimus Pyle Band
With smash originals such as I Drink Alone, Move It On Over and Bad To The Bone, George Thorogood & The Destroyers return to Ruth Eckerd Hall for The Baddest Show On Earth with special guest Artimus Pyle Band!
It’s not bragging if it’s fact: For the past five decades – which the band celebrated with last year’s triumphant Bad All Over The World: 50 Years Of Rock Tour – George Thorogood & The Destroyers have dominated any given stage, including their landmark performance at Live Aid and 50 States/50 Days Tour; opening club gigs for Muddy Waters and stadium shows for The Rolling Stones; last summer’s top-selling tour with John Fogerty; and remaining one of the most reliable/formidable concert acts in the world with the past few years alone covering 17 countries across 3 continents including Europe and Australia. “We recognize that 50 years is a major achievement,” says George. “That’s because every show we play is 100% amp-blasting, roof-shaking rock party. And the best way to say ‘thank you’ is to make the new tour bigger and better than ever.”
