BB KING CALLED THIS HIS BEST LIVE PERFORMANCE | REACTION

[@TheGaryQ]

Bb King, one of the greatest singers, guitarists and songwriters of all time.

[@58fcorley]

Ohhhhh, BB King. No one could sing or play the blues like him. Thanks for sharing this one.

[@Coolrockndad]

"The Thrill Is Gone" by BB is a must react.

[@tadblackington1676]

BB always leaves a warm feeling after listening to him. Just great.

[@rockitflash]

That “tinggg” is B.B. King’s trademark vibrato.The minute you here that you know it’s BB. Also that was concert was in a prison.B B cared about everybody

[@DJKairos88]

and dragged him out of his apartment on Thanksgiving, 1972 to play two sets --at his expense

[@carnifexmactator]

I have been WAITING for someone to react to this song! ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE!!! Thank you so much. Your reaction was AWESOME!!!

[@elkrain9546]

Now THAT'S what I'm talking about!! 😎🎶🎶🎸🎶🎶

[@Coolrockndad]

This is the blues guitar played at it's best. Miss you BB but we still have your music.

[@JohnDavis-ed5sg]

Laughed out loud at the '7 children'! How great is this!

[@mgjkoehler]

This is how you play the f'n blues! BB King is always in my top 5.

[@ricktassone6529]

He could make that thang sing! 🎶🎧. “ Give em back “

[@davewilson435]

BB King is as good as it gets. There is a great live video of him and Gary Moore doing "The Thrill Is Gone". I know you enjoy great guitar playing and they are 2 of the best.

[@davidkeller6156]

My favorite video of B.B. Saw him live a few times. Always great!

[@shirleykelly9971]

I live in Mississippi and me and my wife have driven the blues trail many times from Vicksburg to Memphis on Hwy 61 and there are so many things to see and places to stop. If you love the blues and you ever get the chance you should make that drive and yes I love BB King and the blues and when you get to Memphis do go to Beale Street

[@celinhabr1]

That sound! Just bloody amazing.

[@marniethedyslexic6445]

Sincerely love your reaction. What a great request. Now that’s what I call music.❤️😃👍✌️🌼Love and peace

[@danielceo4694]

Love this reaction! I was fortunate to see B.B. King in concert a couple of times. He was one of the greatest bluesmen ever! He always knew how to put on a good show and just the right notes to play. He was great at making every single person in the audience feel like a part of the show. He knew how to lift the audience and make them have fun and enjoy what they were experiencing.

[@robertm7071]

We were all aware of BB King as we were growing up in the 60s in London. He was a great influence on British blues guitarists. He was also a lovely, kind man. Sadly, the Black community of your country seems to be almost totally unaware of the fantastic blues and jazz musicians who delighted and amazed previous generations.

[@jillmargaret2478]

I grew up listening to B.B. King. My stepfather loved his music.

[@AuthorNicoleEglinger]

He was amazing! Love him!! He was a masterpiece with the blues!!🥰👏

[@JohnHazelwood58]

It was recorded in a prison ... btw: I met BB and saw and heard him live! You can't imagine the sound of his guitar! Wow! ♥

[@UniversalBlackRocker]

Happy Monday Queen! I saw the late B.B. King in 2012, couple years before he passed away, and he was amazing live. I remember me, my best friend and his girlfriend at the time were so amazing that this 86 year old, not just a Blues legend but a music legend, still rocking out with "Lucille", his guitar and also has a great sense of humor. Though I wish I would met him but I'm happy to say that I got to see B.B. King live for the first (and only) time.

[@clarkgeiger4988]

im not the only one that missis bb king

[@Charles-vk1lb]

Summer of '82 I listened to B.B. King: Live At The Cook County Jail, so much I wore out my first copy (it was a cassette tape). I had the honor of seeing him live at the Count Basie Theater in Red Bank, N.J., 1988. Hands down the best show I've ever seen.

[@sandratherrien5388]

It doesn't get much better than this!! Thank you for sharing this masterpiece!

[@codeblood2000]

The legendary B.B. King

[@josephohora1287]

What a wonderful clip and the commentary was fun and thoughtful ❤

[@buckfan1969]

I was waiting all through the song to see your reaction to that last line. And you didn't disappoint; loved your reaction to the master.

[@ellerootz6702]

Love B.B.!

[@joshkaufmann1448]

It's like a religious experience watching BB going into a trance playing his guitar.

[@Mamlishways]

Best line ever ! “ I gave you seven children and now you wanna give em back!”😂

[@Duci66]

GOD of Blues Guitar

[@BCISTUDIOS]

Thanks again KSO for providing us with your amazing insight on each chart you react to. I am very sure you aware that YOU are trending and we are all spreading the word;)

[@michaelgrillo4333]

This guy you called BB King was one of the Three Kings of the Blues. The other two are Albert King and Freddie King. BB King is a top billing performer and has played with the likes of whoever he wants but did build a keen friendship with Eric Clapton. Catch him on the album by Eric & BB called "Riding with the King" and his song Three O'clock Blues". I was fortunate to see him at a small bar back in 1972 where we sat and watched him play several sets. By the way what he called his best performance was while he was young and before he did 5,000 more performances. He always has "Lucille" with him where ever he goes and cranks out the signature song; "The Thrill is Gone". Enjoy this guy.

[@nicolediamond93]

Love it!

[@bcleone]

He made an appearance on "The Cosby Show" and sang this song with Rudy's friend Kenny. It was wonderful!

[@JohnHazelwood58]

"Married with children" as well ;-)

[@Epulor1]

A truly virtuoso guitar player! Early in his career, he was playing at a place that caught fire. He got out, then realized he left his guitar inside. He went back for it. After finding out the fire was started by two guys fighting over a girl named Lucille, he named his guitar and each subsequent guitar Lucille as a reminder to never risk your life for a guitar!

[@waynestumbo2408]

He was so great.

[@mr.smithgnrsmith7808]

Sing Lucille!

[@selmonb921]

There is a story about Stevie Ray Vaughan getting to a gig, i believe in New Orleans, and found out B.B.King was opening....and one of the very few times SRV was pissed off! He went back to the promoter and said don't you ever have B.B.King open, he is the HEADLINER! He said that you do NOT disrespect a man of his stature by putting him 2nd bill! The story is SRV gave them an earful! He also went and apologized to B.B. personally! B.B. King i believe was very surprised by what he heard.... SRV respected all the old Black Bluesmen and one of the very few that gave royalty money from any cover he recorded to the artist if they were alive and or their family. Greg Allman had great respect for Stevie also, saying he not only paid his band members EQUAL share of the gig money, but also paid them EQUAL from money made on the albums sold!! B.B. King had huge respect for Stevie, saying not only him but all the other mostly forgotten Bluesmen started to get gigs, more money, re-released records and record deals.

[@armadillotoe]

He was a special man and musician. He was very gracious to younger up and coming musicians and when they became famous, they were happy to play with him again. His real name was Riley. There is a video about him called The Life of Riley. Great information on where he came from and his life.

[@victorbradshaw9624]

Still think the best was in Chicago 79 when him and Stevie Ray Vaughan dueled at palimino club of course I am particularly prejudice for I was there

[@sirslice]

He's performing at Sing Sing prison. There was only 1 Blues Boy King! Please put these songs into perspective. This was the 1960's.

[@mr.smithgnrsmith7808]

Please check out Gary Moore “Still Got the Blues” and Joe Bonamassa “Angel of Mercy”. Strap in...

[@pockynon]

That’s Joan Baez in the audience.

[@seancasey6793]

He had to sign in because this concert is in prison.

[@justin83021]

No men or women like that. It’s just wasn’t worked out.

[@darlenecheatham7775]

Well he had 2 wives and at least 15 kids out of wedlock. None of his know do were from his wives.

[@DJKairos88]

Right... He was married to Martha when he was still a teenager. Stayed married for 6-7 years. No kids. Married Sue, the second wife. [ Aretha's father married them. He met Sue when "she was Sweet 16. They married when she was a few weeks past 18. ] No kids. The doctors, on two occasions, told him that he had a low sperm count. And that was when he was a young man... So... Riley B. King was NOT the biological father of the 15 kids, but did what a GREAT man does. He offered support and paid the freight for "his kids" college. And then some. And he paid the freight fr his ban members, relatives, close friends, and musos. Paid fr Fats Domino hospital bills and his funeral... etc.
