In a five-decade career fueled by 8,000+ live shows, more than 15 million albums sold, and a global reputation as “the band that plays hot enough to melt the polar icecaps” (Rolling Stone) and “one of the 5 best acts left out of The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame” (WNBF Binghamton), where can “one of the most iconic bands in rock history” (Rapid City Journal) possibly go from here?

GEORGE THOROGOOD and THE DESTROYERS Bad All Over The World-50 Years

Paramount Theatre Denver

On the evening of December 1st, 1973 at The University of Delaware’s Lane Hall, a guitarist, a drummer, and their rhythm guitarist set up on the small bandstand. Though the three-piece band had barely rehearsed, guitarist George Thorogood and drummer Jeff Simon had been bashing out covers of songs they loved – including ‘No Particular Place To Go’, ‘Madison Blues’ and ‘One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer’ – in suburban Wilmington basements since they were teens. The Lane Hall audience was wary at first. “Then it was like somebody flipped a switch,” Simon recalls. “Everybody hit the dance floor all at once.”

During 2025’s The Baddest Show on Earth Tour, they played nearly 90 explosive shows, were honored by The Recording Academy’s GRAMMY Museum, saw George’s famed Gibson ES-125TDC ‘Bad To The Bone’ guitar placed on permanent exhibit at The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, performed at halftime for the Las Vegas Raiders, were inducted into The Musicians Hall of Fame, delivered the top-rated PBS Special Recorded Live At Analog, and more.
