Gonna OFFER 1 of. IMHO, the 5 GREATEST OVERALL STAGE Performers.....unbeleeevably,...from a wanna be bb player no less....
GEORGE THOROGOOD in late 70's, 80's, and maybe 90's.. sux now...playing his SLIDE GUITAR to the likes of the "MADISON BLUES".. or "ONE BOURBON, ONE SCOTCH, and ONE BEER".....that's what I recall as a GREAT STAGE performer..
SERIOUSLY, I saw him PERFORM the same ferocious passionate 2+ hour set in front of 9K at sold out Red Rocks crowd and then, 3 weeks later at Tulane( N.O.) auditorium in front of maybe..350 of us.....
cat gave 120% every night inspired by many of his R&B mentors....i.e. Chuck Berry, Little Richard..and so on.....

They weren't called George Thorogood and THE DELAWARE DESTROYERS without reason...tore up many a club in their younger crazy heyday..

I saw him at Meriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, MD probably 1996. He was fabulous, couldn't bring anymore passion/energy to a show. Inspiring to watch someone give maximum effort.

Like GG said, too many great ones in different ways/styles to pick one. MJ, Sammy Davis Jr & C. Berry would have to be very close to the top. Saw Sammy Davis in Houston in the mid 70's & his version of JJ Walker's "Mr Bojangles" was extremely powerful. Btw...RIP Jerry Jeff...an authentic, & very talented gypsy songman!
