Late last summer, iconic blues-rocker George Thorogood wowed the Red Rocks Amphitheatre with a dynamic live show celebrating his 40 years in music. If you missed being there that evening—or if you were there and want to re-live the moment—AXS TV is giving you the chance this 4th-of-July weekend with a special premiere broadcast of George Thorogood and the Destroyers – 40 Years Strong: Live from Red Rocks.
Over his long career, Thorogood has released sixteen studio albums and five live recordings, garnering worldwide fame with hits like “One Bourbon, One Scotch and One Beer,” “I Drink Alone,” and of course his signature hit “Bad to the Bone,” which has been used in countless film and television placements over the years. George Thorogood and the Destroyers have sold more than 15 million records worldwide, establishing them as icons in the blues world. Last year’s historic Red Rocks show also featured performances from blues legend Buddy Guy, who has won six Grammys over a career spanning five decades. Seeing two icons performing on the same stage on the same night is just part of what made the evening so special.
George Thorogood and the Destroyers – 40 Years Strong: Live from Red Rocks will be broadcast on AXS TV on Sunday, July 6, at 7 p.m. EST, with an encore presentation at 1:00 a.m. the morning of July 7, and again on July 8 at 2:10 p.m. The show is being broadcast as part of the AXS TV concert series, which will include live performances from Guns N’ Roses, Lynyrd Skynrd, Bad Company, John Fogerty, Doobie Brothers, Tom Petty, Sammy Hagar, The Beach Boys, Steve Winwood, Ringo Starr, Greg Allman, and another Red Rocks live concert with Tedeschi Trucks Band, among others.
Don’t miss to chance to re-live a moment in music history. Tune in to AXS TV Sunday night for the rockin’ guitar work of George Thorogood.
