Today we have Thorogood recording that might be new to most of you. I believe it's the first time being flac'd anywhere.

Also on the bill was Johnny Winter, which I also have !!!

George says before the band intros: "This is the 3rd time we've had the pleasure of working at Red Rocks, I hope this is the start on a long and beautiful relationship".

"The only thing I don't like about Red Rocks is the place is too clean and I feel like getting dirty tonight, anybody under 18 better split, because my show is x-rated".

recording notes:

The tape flip is between tracks 7 & 8, has been smoothed out seamlessly.

The tape change between tracks 14 & 15 has a quick cut, no music missing.

The transfer had just a tiny bit of random clipping, so I lowered the volume -1db.

I checked the tracking and adjusted a few of the markers and titled the tracks, that's all.

A big thanks goes to the taper. This recording turned out really nice.

It looks like George had gotten himself a new guitar player for this tour.
