George Thorogood & The Destroyers (Review)
Oh, the nostalgic memories
Thirty-one years ago, in 1991, I attended the concert of George Thorogood & The Destroyers at one of Darwin’s biggest open-air venues.
Oh, what a night my partner and I had that night and I’ll remember this concert to my dying days.
Why………because I came out of that concert with a broken foot but thankfully I was a little intoxicated, so it wasn’t too big a deal at the time.
I may have been a little more than just a little intoxicated.
Oh, come on, I was young, well in my mid-twenties and still going through my party-hard era.
How did it all happen? How do you break a foot at a concert?
Well, I was lucky enough to be down the front, right near the stage. It truly was perfection. I was dancing and boogieing the night away, when a large gentleman, also dancing — really who can keep still at a George Thorogood concert — accidentally jumped on my foot. I knew instantly that it was badly hurt.
I turned to my partner and shouted, “I think this gentleman just broke my foot.”
My partner's hilarious response was, “Colleen, you are so out of it, you wouldn’t know if your foot was broken.”
