Good,to see GT & Destroyers back in Boston proper. It's been a long time since they actually played in the city which many fans adore him and his "rock'in jamboree"! Good sound throughout and great set list lit up the Wilbur on a hot summer night. "Gear Jammer" slammed it home and brought the crowd to a crescendo that lasted the rest of the evening. The Destroyers played well, as they always do, and George's stage side manner with the crowd is always a treat. Keep rock'in George, Beantown loves ya and the rest of the "Bad to the Bone Nation" does too!

What a great event! Imagine seeing "opening acts" that are show stoppers - Charlie Musclewhite and the Kenny Wayne Shepherd band and THEN the best rocker left today - George Thorogood! A tribute to a great artist when he can call in such folks to "open" for him. Every act was truly awesome (I hate that word) - Charlie's harmonica - KWS guitar and vocals and then George - truly a great event on every level!

To see Kenny Wayne Shepherd and George Thorogood in the same evening was absolutely incredible. Add in the Greek Theatre and a warm summer evening. Wham! Probably the best show in my last 20. Couldn't keep still. Kenny and George both rocked and stirred everyone's emotions with a double dose of energy.

KWS opened and played well; we enjoyed his set. GT came on and played 5 or 6 of the same old songs and the concert was over. Maybe George had to catch a plane or something, but we were left feeling shortchanged.

Unbelievable show! George is ageless - rocks just as hard as he did in the '70's. Kenny Wayne Shepherd is a huge star in the raw - his reading of "Voodoo Child" (forgive me!) channeled Hendrix & Stevie Ray, his "Everything is Broken" HAS to be the way Dylan would have wanted it to be if he had Kenny's guitar prowess. Don't drink alone - see these guys if you can!

Great Music but the volume was too low. We were in the back and had a hard time with the sound system. They need to turn it up.

I thought George Thorogood was average at best....No edge to his performnce at all....Bland and seemed mailed in....

I mainly went to see Kenny Wayne Shepherd because I love his style, as well as the traditional electric blues genre, but George Thorogood turned out to be a better showman than Kenny - which is what I expected, since George has been doing this for so much longer. The entire event was a well-balanced blend of shred and bottleneck that I will not soon forget! The gain on Kenny's guitar wasn't really tweaked until the third of fourth song, but this was truly a great pairing; bring 'em on again!

Thorogood and his band just walked through the material without much energy. Kenny Wayne Shepherd and his band were much better.

Kenny's 'Voodo Child' was truly phenomenal -- worth a ticket by itself! George was inviting and alive with spirit as always!

This show was killer! Kenny Wayne and crew started their set to a meek response from the crowd, but after the best cover of "Yer blues" I ever heard, said crowd was on board and the band really picked it up from there. They got the people primed. George is like In-N-Out Burger: You know you're gonna get quality product every time! I've seen GT & the dual Ds about eight times and they've never disappointed. If you can't have fun at a Destroyers show, the problem ain't them. If there is one thing to critique, I wish they would've delved deeper into their rich catalog. Aside from a rousingly kickass version of "Gear Jammer", the set was entirely thier classic rock "hits" (which is what most people came to see, I'm sure). Nevertheless, I highly recommend

Great venue. Not terribly loud volume... actually, that may have been a little distracting. I would have enjoyed it to be a little louder. It was too easy to hear people nearby talking... continuously while the show rocked on. KWS played awesomely although not really sure why he doesn't sing the songs. I think they played for about one hour and the change to when GT came on was quick. George ruled the stage and had everyone singing along in the crowd. Great show.

George has still got it. I recommend this show. Played most of the old goodies. George, go ahead and throw in some old blues numbers or some of your new blues - blues is where rock was born.

Great charisma, great vocals, great lyrics, great musicians, fair light show, great sound systems! After going to this concert I wonder why I never once bought a record made by this band. Extremely good for an old rock n roll band, extremely good!

Yes he truly is a great show man, he's amazing. If you haven't seen him put it on your list of things to do.

George Thorogood and the Destroyers are great entertainers that truly love what they do! Geoerge is a very high energy level person that performed non-stop for about an hour and a half. He gets involved with the audience and does his entertaining without a lot of "bells & whistles". He relies on excellent singing, guitarre playing and a excellent band.

The venue was wonderful, as was the energy. Both performances were good. The mixing for both performers was severely disappointing. In a rare instance the opening band sounded better than the feature. The sound men have tin ears.

Brian Setzer is the only reason I give fours stars, and Thurogood is the reason it is four and not five. This guy can barely play his guitar, especially when you see him right after Brian Setzer, it is painfully obvious. He appeals to people's basest instincts, and if you've seen him once, no need to ever see him again. Decent band though, which almost, but not quite, covers up his minimal musical skills. Brian Setzer and his band, on the other hand, are a well oiled machine, and Brian always comes up great new songs and the licks to complement them.

Brian Setzer and his band were great. He really put on a great concert. I have seen George Thorogood and the Destroyers several times and have been wowed by them but this time not so much. We even wondered if he had a tribute band stand in for him and the band. He looked rough and sounded worse. It seemed he was even air-guitaring and part of the show for him is his phenomenal guitar skills.

I was super excited to see Brian Setzer-and his musicianship was outstanding! What a guitar master! Such a treat to hear him play Folsom Prison Blues, and he did a great job on the vocals. His upright bass player was a GREAT performer and he was having a blast! Although I'd say Brian's musical ability was the best, George's showmanship was the best-we didn't sit down for a second. George rocked hard and he was having fun right along with us. This was an OUTSTANDING concert!! I want to also say the venue was great-very easy access, parking super close, traffic was very manageable.

The Effingham Perfomarnce Center is a fine facility, but the AV system that projects video of the performance on two large screens was terrible. Every time the drummer hit the bass drum or the bass guitar played a note, the cameras vibrated to the extent that the video was unwatchable. Unless people in front of were standing, we had a fine view of the stage from our seats, but there are times when it would have been nice to see a real closeup, and the cameras they had added no value to the performance. George Thorogood and the Delaware Destroyers were solid and entertaining.
