Of course he really didn't know who B.B. King was, because with this comment he is trying  to lay claim to his being clever.  Bokey, it's ok man.  Just enjoy the show and take notes it's what developing a listening ear is all about; RP is an awesome place to do it and I'm glad you found it.

He's kind of earned the right to do that.  Let's see how you do at age 83, and how many people show up to see you do it, ok?

Once in a while he will play two notes together :-)

Most famous guitar player that never learned a chord!

I saw him about two years ago and was greatly dissappointed. He'd play about half a song, then yammer on bout this or that, play half a song, etc. I don't think he played a full song the entire night. Really dissappointed.

I think it'd be great to hear Albert, BB, and Freddie all in one set.

Croydon Fairfield Halls in 1985 was when BB King and his superb band introduced me to the blues, and I haven't looked back since. It's a shame he had to go and endorse BBurger King a few years back, but I suppose he has to clear his gambling debts some how.

B.B. always sounds fantastic. He does not have any music I don't like.

BB doing his best Albert King Impression!

Happy Birthday!  You are the Blues!

Bokey, you are a nut. I wish I had done it!

I've seen Mr. King perform several times: stunning every time. I think he's still touring: James Brown was great and all, but Mr. King is the REAL 'hardest workin' man in show business'...

Wow, don't hear much BB played on RP. Right On!

I do, but I am crazy myself so it may not count.

The most funny thing about this discussion is the throng of people crying bloody murder about not having heard about BB King.
It just goes to show irony is really wasted on some people.

Century 100's possibly? Nice description!

Maybe the combination of a nice fire & cranked up vintage JBLs, but BB's sounding particularly good.

First note I heard BB play live at the Arena Theatre in Houston touched my sole. As cliché as it sounds, it was unbelievable, the emotional power of that one note.

Never heard of BB King? I can't believe that!

I saw a concert in San Antonio, TX in about 1971. Opening act #1 Tower of Power (primo jazz and brass even today.)

Opening Act #2 CCR.

Primary act that brought the entire audience to their feet for almost 2 hours of the "King" jamming and bluz'n. B.B. King.

Go buy ANY of his albums and get out some whiskey on ice and a hanky. The man can play the blues.
