B.B. King - The Thrill Is Gone | FIRST TIME REACTION | Crossroads 2010 (Official Live Video) 

Thank you for watching the video, It means a lot to me . I will leave this pinned message here to REMIND everyone that i do not have TELEGRAM and there is no GIVEAWAY. Those you see are bot scams . Keep yourself safe and know that I would not ask for your info. ❤ ❤

Just some of the best guitarists in the business showing love and respect to BB King and his guitar (Lucille). He influenced everyone on that stage, and they were all saying thanks to a legend.

NOW YOU'RE TALKIN!!!!❤ If it weren't for the blues, a lot of bands that you hear today or know from the past may not have existed.

Hi, soloists other than BB are Eric Clapton, Robert Cray, Jimmie Vaughan (elder brother of Stevie Ray), and Robert Randolph (pedal steel), joined at the end on stage by Ron Wood, Buddy Guy, Susan Tedeschi, Johnny Winter, Warren Haynes, David Hildago, Johnny Lang, Joe Bonamassa etc.

The crowd reaction is from recognizing his signature hit, the only one some in the audience even know about. By 2010 he had performed this number a few million times and at this specific show he sounds tired and perfunctory. Do yourself a favor and listen to his original studio version. Here, he and the band hit all the right notes. In the studio he drags the soul out of all the equipment to let you know how hurt he she makes him feel. I’ve been to a half dozen of his concerts and clubs. Attended his club opening in Kissimmee in ‘07. Bought my 1st BB LP when I was 17, over 50 years ago. He is a legend and the Crossroads series was a annual concert hosted by Eric Clapton to bring other star and session guitarists together, originally in Chicago, considered the recording capital of the blues. You’re watching awestruck “kids” playing on stage to pay homage to their hero, BB King. But if you listen to his music from the early 60s you will realize his true influence on the greater genre and earnest with which he lived and believed the blues. P.S. I grew up listening to the radio stations out of Memphis, so I had very early exposure to the blues and rockabilly musicians of the era.

RIP BB, we wouldn't have modern blues without him

This song closed out the 2010 edition of the Eric Clapton Guitar Festival at Toyota Park in Bridgeville, Illinois. It was an eleven minute extended version that was mostly instrumental. For the majority of the song it featured five guitarists, B.B. King, Eric Clapton, Jimmie Vaughan, Robert Cray and Joe Bonamassa. Toward the end of the song all of the performers at the Festival came on stage and started playing the song. A real who's who of the guitar world . Anyone of whom will make you fall in love over and over again.

B.B. King was 84 yrs. old at this show!! Then all the legends show up Johnny Lang, Warren Haynes (Allman Brothers Band & Gov't Mule), Susan Tedeschi, Ron Woods (Rolling Stones), Keb Mo, Buddy Guy, Johnny Winter, and Robert Randolph (playing the pedal steel slide guitar (lookin for the King's approval) and a few others!!!

Proud of you babygirl for reacting to an ABSOLUTE LEGEND!!! He has literally inspired anyone and everyone who ever picked up a guitar including Stevie Ray Vaughn who he played with many times!! I saw him and Bobby Bland in concert, the crowd was still applauding an hour after they finished. The police had to come and finally push everyone out! Saw him for the last time here in Zürich before he died!! R.I.P. B.B.

BB King is a legend....so much so that he was once asked to be an opening act for Stevie Ray Vaughn, when Stevie found out he got really upset that they had asked BB King to that because in Stevie's mind somebody of BB King's caliber should not be asked to open for anybody.......or something to that effect.....BB King plays a Gibson (ES-335 I think) named "Lucille" Crossroads is a guitar festival that Eric Clapton holds and invites all leading guitar players to play

Great solo from Eric Clapton on the blue fender! Robert Cray on the 2nd solo, and Stevie Ray's brother Jimmy Vaughn on the white Fender!!

I saw BB in concert on my 21st birthday and it was one of the best presents that I have ever received in my 58 years.

I worked in concert promotions as one of the owners of the company and was fortunate enough to meet BB King. It was 1993 at the Embassy Theater in Fort Wayne IN. Had 100 plus people after the show stay for autographs. He signed every one of them. I remember he gave me a big bear hug lol. (I also was in charge of his menu)

I could burst into flames imagining the pressure of being one of those guitarists in such company. I guess that's why I'm not in a band anymore. 😅

I was at this show! It was wonderful to see BB King again toward the end of his life, being shown respect by many generations of other great guitarists. He's great here, albeit obviously older and not at his peak. What a legend.

BB King was 84 years old when this tribute to him was filmed... he died a few years later at the age of 89, He is one of the most influential Blues artists of all time. Rock and Roll grew out of "Delta Blues" and there is probably not a famous Rock guitarist worth a damn that was not influenced by BB King and some of his early Blues Guitarists. He really was a national treasure.

Initially on stage with B. B. King.: The Robert Cray Band, Jimmie Vaughan and Eric Clapton, Robert Randolph on slide. Among those joining them later: Buddy Guy, Ronnie Wood, Joe Bonamassa, Susan Tedeschi, Hubert Sumlin, Albert Lee, Cesar Rosas, Warren Haynes

Amazing video capturing so many legends on one stage honoring Mr. BB King 👑 The collective talent was off the charts.

BB King was one of the greats, but to fully appreciate him, you should really look for live performances from the 1950’s through the 1990’s when he was at his peak in performing. This performance shows the respect he garnered from other greats that he inspired, his older performances will show you why everyone loves and respects him.

BB King and Buddy Guy were two individuals who had a major influence on rock guitar virtuoso of the sixties and seventies, which include those guys playing with BB King in this video. One could say BB King was among the foundations that rock music was built upon.

The guitarists who play at the beginning of the song, besides B.B. King, are Eric Clapton (blue fender), Robert Cray and Jimmie Vaughan (older brother of Stevie Ray Vaughan). Towards the end of the song, Ron Wood (The Rolling Stones), Buddy Guy, Hubert Sumlin (guitarist of the legendary Howlin' Wolf, among many other things), Susan Tedeschi, Warren Haynes (one of the guitarists of The Allman Brothers Band) and a few more guests that I can't identify. Greetings from Argentina.

I saw BB King at the Honolulu International Center in the early 70's. The opening act was Billy Preston. Sitting in the second row, center, it was the thrill of a lifetime ... a thrill that has never left.

Finally a true Giant, grown people music. Bravo Bisscute...Sometimes less is more which he's the absolute King at. RIP Mr. KING...

Thank you, Bright Angel, for playing B.B. King. I saw him live in 1967 when I was a young man (yes, I'm a very old man now). I love your channel and your diverse choice of music and styles. Your commentary is always intelligent, fun, and witty. Your warm smile only adds to the enjoyment of the music.

They all came to honor B.B. King. He's a Blues Legend.

bb king is the blues king all these people were huge fans of the king may he R.I.P.

The guy you asked about with the blue fender is Eric Clapton. Then robert cray then jimmy Vaughn , Stevie rays older brother

BB King is the King of blues. He influenced every guitar player on that stage. Great video

My father tried to get me to see a BB King show, and I kept saying no. I finally gave up and went with him, and King passed away very shortly afterward. I am so happy I went and made that memory!

I don't know if you noticed, but the one playing the blue fender is Eric Clapton.

Some songs you just love, others make you cry, and there are some that make you curl your toes with pleasure.

I had the honor of seeing B.B. King live in 1983, at the peak of his talents. He is the benchmark against which all other blues guitarists are measured. He was a complete gentleman, and as humble as they come. When he passed away, Facebook was buried in tributes to him, from virtually every genre of music...a true legend in every sense of the word. RIP God bless!!

I got to see B.B. King live a couple of times and he was amazing! The first time I saw him he had two shows to play (I had tix to the second show) and he was so tired after the first show that he went out to his tour bus and went to sleep. Finally came onstage about 2 hours late for the second show, after midnight, and NOBODY CARED!!!! He was wonderful just like we all expected. One of the true blues legends.

As a young person I grew up loving music, But the day I heard this man (BB King) and this song My life was never the same! I saw him 4 times live and WOW!

There's B.B. King Freddie King Albert King, the blues are full of Kings, all worth listening to. Great reaction.

Every beginning rock guitar player should study BB Kings unique guitar style. It's pure heart and soul,, the way he bends the strings and makes the notes so sad.

BB King and Gary Moore performing this song together is just amazing. Two guitars having a conversation us mere mortals will never understand.

Blues is one of the foundations of Rock. You have to go there eventually.

Hi Bisscute, I see I'm late reacting to your reaction, but... BB King is an absolute legend in Blues, a master guitarist, and he inspired countless other guitarists. Thes other guys on stage were all here to celebrate BB King's long and incredible career in music. --- Another good song, if you have not listened to it yet, is ZZ Top's Blue Jeans Blues.

Legend, Legend, Legend - BB King is all that.

King of the blues

A classic!!! And a valuable who's who of top guitarists.

Even as an old man in failing health BB was a better guitar player than 99.999% of the people who have ever touched a guitar. Legend.

I am a fan of B.B. King. You are going to love it.

The blues legend since 1949

The Crossroads Guitar Festival is a series of music festivals and benefit concerts founded by Eric Clapton. The festivals benefit the Crossroads Centre founded by Eric Clapton, a drug treatment center in Antigua. The concerts showcase a variety of guitarists, selected by Eric Clapton personally. To the 2007 audience, Clapton declared that each performer was one of the very best, and had earned his personal respect.

Thank you Biss for reacting to BB King! He such a legend in the Blues world! Great to see all the guitar guys playing along with the Legend! Just Awesome!😎i hope you continue to listen to more blues music by BB King and other artists! You wont regret it!😁 Luv ya Biss ❤️💛

Loved it! You know, my cousin played with Pappo Blues and B.B. back in the day when they performed in Madison Square Garden... and he was only 13 y.o.!!! I remember watching a video of him cuz i was very young at the time. Anyway, times goes by and he ended up giving me the guitar that B.B. gave him at that concert. It's because of him that today i can't stop performing over and over and over again. Thank you B.B! Thank you Pappo! Thank you Pedro! and Thank you Biss, you never stop to amaze me. Greets from Argentina.

A jam session from some of the blues best guitarists

B.B King is a blues legend! Even his guitar is famous. The guitars name is Lucille.

Yes Baby The king of the Blues!

For a thorough baptism in B.B. King and the blues, find a copy of his "Live At tThe Regal" album. It's simply one of the best live recordings ever committed to vinyl. He and his band did a three night stand at the Regal Theatre in Chicago then picked the best version of each song on it. B.B. was also one of the kindest, most gracious men you could ever hope to meet.

Bb king was the king of blues, but especially blues guitar, the story of his guitars is interesting too

I saw BB King in concert almost 45 years ago and he was an established legend well before that. This was a tribute to him by many of the great blues guitarists of the day lead by Eric Clapton. He was a huge influence on the blues rock movement of the 1960s and seventies.

u2 and bb king - when love comes to town.Beautifull song!!!

There are very few who play the guitar and he is one of them. A great musician, he knows how to play, a great American music player from a small place in the world. Greetings from Uruguay 🇺🇾❤😊✌️ excelente como siempre saludos 😊

That was a jam session with literally the king an absolute legend r.I.p b.b …….. thrill has gone live in Montreal is fantastic

Wife and I saw B.B King live at a concert in Vancouver. He truly had a presence that lives on even after he is gone. No.1 !!!

He was truly the king

B.B. King...the thrill has never really gone away... Love your musical explorations, Biss! 🙌🔥🤘

Good job little lady that's some smooth music right there hit some more Blues

"Better Not Look Down" would be a cool choice of a BB King song to react to.👌

He is a powerhouse. Could blow big time when he was younger

A 2010 performance of a song BB King released in 1969 which was written in 1931!

Biss, great to see you have such a broad palate in music, another king you might enjoy, King of Soul, James Brown, "I Got You" one of his best.

All of these guitarists learned their blues roots from BB!!! Some great blues guitarists in there. Eric Clapton, Jimmy Vaughn are 2 of them.

I love the old school musicians especially B B King. Much more than some of what we have today. Till the next one.

I produced a video of BB's Museum Groundbreaking and 80th birthday celebration in his hometown of Indianola, MS. I got to spend a couple of days with him. One of the nicest people I have ever known. This concert includes BB and some of his friends -- Eric Clapton, Robert Cray and Jimmie Vaughan and Joe Bonamasso. I believe all the guitarists at the festival joined in towards the end. Festival participants included Johnny Winter, Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy, Ronnie Wood, Sonny Landreth, Robert Randolph and the Family Band, Robert Cray, Jimmie Vaughan, Hubert Sumlin, ZZ Top, Doyle Bramhall II, Gary Clark Jr., Sheryl Crow, Derek Trucks, Susan Tedeschi, Bert Jansch, Stefan Grossman, Keb Mo', Vince Gill, James Burton, Albert Lee, Earl Klugh, John Mayer Trio, Warren Haynes, David Hidalgo, Cesar Rosas, Chris Stainton, Jonny Lang, Jeff Beck, Citizen Cope, Steve Winwood, BB King and Joe Bonamassa.

A legend. Bravo Biss!!

Long overdue but for your next BB reaction, look for his live from Cook County Jail concert. That's peak BB. Hopefully your journey into the blues doesn't stop with Mr. King. About 90% of American music comes from the Blues or country.

B.B. King was one of the very best of all time.

The heart of blues, right here.

My first concert was BB King at the Shoreline Amphitheater down the peninsula from San Francisco. I was a just a kid with my parents but I'll never forget the respect and exuberance the entire crowd had for that man. I think I also got a contact high from some folks partaking in some herbal extracurriculars behind us, not a bad experience to say the least.

His guitar is 'Lucille'.

When I was 8 we went to the annual Fall Carnival in Hot Springs(my home town). I saw him then and I was loving the music. After he finished I went up to him and asked what the blues was and why he named his guitar Lucille. I kind of got the meaning from what he said. Then I told him I wanted to play guitar so he played some notes and handed me Lucille and I tried to copy them. Of course it hurt my little fingertips then. But 5 yrs later I had my first guitar and was off on the journey. So I ended of with the memory of lifetime for a guitar player. 58 yrs playing now.

Es una bendicion ver tus teacciones , thanks biss inlove you

The number of guitar legends on stage are amazing.

It doesn't get any better than that!!!

The real King of the Blues. Everyone else is just a commoner.

Blues is hands-down the best genre. Nothing comes remotely close.

The blue fender is Eric Clapton, check out the history of of the crossroads festival, inspiring

You asked about the guy Playing the petal steel guitar (Pink Floyd) is robert Randolph

KING OF BLUES!!! EVER

Love your reactions, Biscutte, esp to new kinds of music. & that adorable Romanian accent. Knowing English is not your first language so just FYI; we native speakers typically use the French pronunciation for “genre” ( jawn-reh). Keep on listening and reacting. Yeah, BB King is the king of blues.😊

Referring to B.B. King as a legend is spot-on accurate. There are many incredibly talented blues artists but B.B. King is my favorite by far. I'm a bassist, and any time I feel like playing some blues songs, I always seem to start with this one. Go back and listen to this again, sometime, and focus on what the bass is doing. One of the coolest grooves ever. I'm very happy for your new discovery, my dear, and I hope you continue an exploration of blues. Otis Redding, Bill Withers, Buddy Guy, Howlin' Wolf, T-Bone Walker, Son House, Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, and many more. The field is rich.

the best version for me is gary moore and bb king the thrill is gone

I love music that takes its time

BB King is one of the Greatest Blues Player of All Time. Please check out "The Trill is Gone" feat Tracy Chapman

BB can display more soul with one note than some can do in a lifetime

B.B. the KING of BLUES!!

Great reaction as always. ❤ BB King is a great artist and one of the blues OGs. Just an interesting factoid about BB King- his guitar's name is Lucille. In fact, he calls all his guitars Lucille. It stems from an incident in 1949 when he still just an up-and-coming artist. He was playing in a dance hall when a fight broke out between two guys. During the fight a barrel of burning kerosene set in the middle of the dance floor, a fairly common practice at the time, was knocked over and the hall burst into flames. But just after BB King got outside, he realized that his prized guitar was still inside the building, so he ran inside and retrieved it. Afterwards he realized how foolish he had been, and that he could have lost his life. He also found out that the two guys were fighting about a woman called Lucille, so he called his guitar (and every guitar since then) Lucille, to remind him never to do something as stupid as running into a burning building or fight over a woman.

Many masters, but just one King.

The legend Blues Boy King

The thrill might be gone, but the Blues remains :)

The instrument he sits down to play is a steel lap guitar, used a lot in country music, I saw Rodrigo y Gabriela on Thursday (amazing) and Rodrigo used one, he made it sing, This was a benefit gig foe Eric Clapton's drug clinic and is simply a collection of the worlds greatest blues guitarists. For the best of Gilmore on steel lap, One of these days for Pulse, seen Floyd live as well, be good and have fun

BBKing was the only blues artist I know of that was known by and loved by the most people, many young white people as well, he had agreat personality tha invited everyone in. Many of King's early recordings were produced by Sam Phillips, who later founded Sun Records in Memphis TN, the same lable that had Elvis Presleyon the early days... Presley was fully aware of the bigger problems King faced as a black musician and later helped his friend to get a major gig. In 1972 Presley had made a call and booked the show for King in the lounge. Presley himself had been playing live in the hotel’s main theatre. King said this was something that Presley did for him several times.

Браво! Певцу аплодисменты! Музыканты превосходные! Песня красивая! Очаровательная ведущая замечательно провела свой репортаж!❤

BB King is the King of Blues...

Recommendation: "Meat Loaf, Paradise by the Dashboard Light"

That was Eric Clapton next to BB with the blue fender. The Crossroads Guitar festival is a thing that Eric Clapton's put together for a little while. He once had a cover of a song called "Crossroads". Actually, he may have even been doing that way back when he was in Cream, but it's really an old reference to a famous old blues song called "The Crossroads Blues" by Robert Johnson, about going to the crossroads and meeting the devil, and making the decision to sell your soul to the devil in order to be given the gift of being a great guitar player. So, it's an old mythical thing among guitar players. Which road would you choose? Would you sell your soul to the devil to be the greatest guitar player that ever lived?
