The 60s sound like a time that shouldn't have existed. My generation missed out.

It's great!! This setting with the organ is so strong ! Bb King's sound is incredible. Only unfortunate issue, the audience handclapping is a disaster. I mean they were obviously happy and wanted to share their enthousiasm, but please do it silently!

White audience clapping while BB KING sings make me sick ❤

[@ReelinInTheYears66]

Why would It make you “sick”? Yes this German audience clearly had no sense of timing but clearly they’re enjoying themselves. Aren’t they allowed to do that? Do I wish they didn’t clap? Yes but it doesn’t make me “sick” it’s just annoying. I’m sure BB appreciated he was given a full hour on TV to play his music to an appreciative audience unlike in the states where in 1968 he couldn’t get on any major TV show. That would soon change when he released “The Thrill Is Gone” but in 1968 he was trying to appeal to wider (white) audience.

BB King and his peers loved audience participation. Any problem is that the recording picked up the audience a little more than it should have [bug we're certainly very fortunate that it was recorded at all]. Dark and foolishly idiotic comments of this nature make a lotta people sick - bordering very closely on the margin of ignorantly petty, politically correct racism and the vapid stupidity of self loathing, self victimization. GET A REAL LIFE...!

[@plastiktuten3866]

sharing of culture is the antidote to racism

[@ghanasoul]

I get what u saying. It’s kinda distracting. They’re enjoying it and that’s the main thing. It could’ve been worse like no response at all. Ha.
