The guitarist and bandleader still Bad to the Bone 43 years after his first album recently released Live in Boston, 1982: The Complete Concert from a characteristically raucous Nov. 23 performance Thorogood and his band, the Delaware Destroyers, that year at Bradford Ballroom.

Boston was home turf for Thorogood and company at that point in time, and the concert caught the group on a high. It had spent the previous year-plus touring with the Rolling Stones and the J.
