Notes:
This is a fabulous FM capture. The famous Showdown on M street between George and Jimmy Thackery. Superb sound and a smoking hot performance.
Showdown on M Street: "When George Thorogood and the Destroyers launched into 'Madison Blues' in the second set at the Cellar Door Thursday, it was a signal (relayed by the light man) for The Nighthawks, playing across at Desperado's, to strike up the same tune. Midway through, Thorogood, guitar in hand, bolted out the M Street exit to meet Jimmy Thackery, also carrying
his weapon. The two stopped traffic for a couple of minutes, never missing a riff, then kept moving - Thackery into the Cellar Door to join the Destroyers, and Thorogood into Desperados." [Eve Zibart, "The M Street Shuffle," Washington Post, August 04, 1978]
