George Thorogood & The Destroyers: Ain't Nuthin' But The Blues Band
Charles Shaar Murray, NME, 1 July 1978
LOOKED AT MY watch and it was almost one, and George Thorogood And The Destroyers are just sloping on stage for their third set of the night. It's the second night of a two-night stand at Dingwalls (Camden Lock's home of the blues); one of those word-is-out gigs where the guest list looks like a random slice out of Teazers and where are you tonight, Bob Geldof?
