We played BB's songs in the 60's and he was a giant to us. I was a keyboard player and we played the blues. Nobody did the blues better than BB King.

It was 1954, I was a 12 year old white boy living in Detroit, listening to one of the two local black radio stations when I first heard B.B. King. I have been a fan ever since of B.B. and the Blues, and the Blues men of the 40's and 50's and the rebirth in the 60's when the British Invasion brought the blues and the bluesmen back to life.

I know: a lot of people didn’t liked his playing/singing at his last years. But this performance… you just have to pay respect to the King🤷🏼♂️ He was about 80 at this concert and played/sang his heart out. Outstanding. Never saw such a performance from him at his later years again. That was a special night. You can tell. Man I just love every second of it🙌🏻
@teeoh91922 ай бұрын
This is literally my all time favorite performance by him! Makes me tear up every time. I saw him twice in 1998, & as an aspiring musician at the time I told myself, "THIS is what aging gracefully looks like." I'll love this man & this particular performance, until the day I die. ❤️🔥

I say listen up....he is saying something that you need to hear. Do you hear that? Ok good, we might get to that promised land after all. I know he did....

I was lucky enough to see B.B. King perform live at a Doheny Beach Blues & Jazz festival back in 2009 (if memory serves). I remember him coming to the stage in an all leather American flag jacket and he was incredible! Etta James once said that this song was written about her, though it’s hard to confirm. Thank you for sharing this! B.B. King was one of a kind. Even Elvis Presley loved him. 🌹

There's something about this particular version that gives me goosebumps every time.. I saw him live 5 or 6 times and I can tell this isn't your average performance for 2005. It's like he turns the clock back to 1974 and just channels the song.. The band got the arrangement of the Sonny Freeman, Bobby Forte band down too.. that helps… Miss ya B.

The blues have been a part of my life ever since , he came to every table and shook our hands , he signed his picture , which I still have today . I would have paid double for that night , also I married my date from that night , been married for 43 years this September - RIP BB and Thanks
