There was a point in my life that I was afraid. Afraid that all this beautiful music that moved my soul. Music that touched my heart. Music so familiar to me, was slowly dying an inevitable death. Like a loved one you watch as they slowly, unstoppably pass right before your eyes. I hold no animosity towards rap music. I feel today's popular music is still credible, (although no where near the quality of our music from yesterday). Then I found a group of youngsters. Members of your younger generation. That dove head first into the vary music I feared was dying that slow death. A group that watched with eagerness, they watch with appreciation, but most importantly a sense of exploration and dare I say ENTHUSIASM! Guy's, you have just attended SCHOOL! The school of B.B.,. All the other masters of the Blues have a degree from this school. B.B. holds his own degree having studied blues master's that preceded him. They share this impeccable sound with the world! They share it with other practitioner's (you will easily find B.B. playing with all your favorites, Vaughn, Clapton Buddy Rich and on and on). As always, love watching your journey! But more importantly, like B.B.pass it on!!!!!

Though I have passed on my love for music to my 3 25-30 yr old children, others of their generation are just beginning to explore the depths of what, for our generation, was the soundtrack of our daily lives. But watching you, Jay & Amber, and your sweet babies as well 😊, gives me plenty of hope for the musical legacy we leave them. ❤

Just remember, you're comparing decades to months - of course the past is going to look better. And there's a different focus now, that maybe we have trouble relating to, but that doesn't necessarily make it worse...

His life story is fascinating. His parents divorced when he was very young and his mother died when he was nine years old. He was on his own until his father found him a few years later. He was working on a cotton plantation and has said alot of his inspiration came from the songs he heard there. He taught himself to play guitar and started singing on street corners for dimes. He is a true legend. The thrill is not gone.

When my oldest son was 15 (37 now) he was an aspiring blues guitarist and I took him to see BB and Bobby "Blue" Bland in Forest, MS. He could talk his way into anything so he somehow got backstage and found BB's tour manager. The man was nice enough to take him to the tour bus so he could meet BB. He signed my son's Gibson guitar and posed for pics. Later during the performance he stopped for a minute and leaned over to the edge of the stage where my son was standing and gave him a guitar pick. He pointed to him and told the audience, "This is the future of the blues right here". He was so kind to a kid who was utterly star struck. My boy still has the guitar and the pick and he went on to play guitar for John Lee Hooker, Jr for a world tour. Not bad for a skinny white boy from Mississippi. 😊💜💚💛✌️

I saw him several times and made a point to catch him when he played smaller places. One time about 2 years before he died my brother and I (we're both guitarists) were in the front row at this club sitting at a table. He talked to us all the way through the show when he wasn't playing. He really seemed to enjoy connecting with fans at any time. such an amazing gentleman.

@jexx30 Год назад

B.B. King is not a guitar player, he is a duettist with his Lucille. The pain in his voice, and the cries he coaxes from her strings, are otherworldly. He is unexplainable. I'm so glad you shared your reaction with us.

True Story. I was a young sailor stationed in San Diego in the early 1980's. Sitting in a small cocktail lounge on the top floor of a Marina, surrounded by glass windows, and a panoramic view of hundreds of moored sailboats. The cocktail waitress told me I was in luck because BB King would be playing shortly, and I'll bet there were 25 people (tops) in there. Sipping expensive liquor, I watched this man play this song. I didn't even know he was going to be there. The cab driver told me it was a quiet, classy place to have a drink and that is how I ended up seeing BB King. Up close and live. I later discovered that he played almost every single night and it wasn't that unusual to see him in that type of small venue.

Amber nailed it here. As tempting as it is to close your eyes and listen to the music and to B.B.'s voice, you miss a lot of the show if you don't see the soul with which he bends those strings. He sings from the soul and plays from the soul like few others. That's the blues, y'all.

BB King in concert is an experience that everyone should have had the opportunity to enjoy. I was fortunate to have done it 3 times. Running into him outside the venue after the show showed me what a truly humble man he was. A kinder, gentler soul so appreciative of his fans I have never encountered before or since.

@stevegeib9642 2 года назад

True story that will make all of you jealous!!! If anyone had a similar experience, please let me know because i learned afterward that this was common for BB King to do. My wife and i saw him live in Sept 2010 (front row seats btw) and it was amazing as you can well imagine. But the most amazing part of the evening was when my wife said after the show, "let's go see if we can get his autograph" so we went out near his tour bus. Long story short, we went and waited for about 10 minutes with about 12-15 other people. When he came out (we were third in line) he surprised us all when He Invited Us All Onto His Tour Bus about 6 people at a time and we sat around his table with him and had a 15-20 minute round-table conversation with the Legend Himself. He took all kinds of questions and even asked some. He was the most regular, pleasant, interesting guy you ever wanna just sit around with and banter about music and anything else that came up! My wife asked him what cologne he was wearing (Angel for Men) and I've gotten a bottle of it for Christmas every year since :) Truly a memory that will never fade. RIP BB King and Thank You for one of the best evenings I've ever spent!!!

Right on, brother - it's the notes they don't play that give air to the notes they do. I saw him in Western Australia over 20 years ago. Half the crowd was old blues cats like me; the other half were under 20 years old. The respect he showed his band and audience came back to him manifold.

@telebender 2 года назад

BB King is the GOAT... What y'all need to understand is pretty much EVERYONE in the blues and (classic) rock (and beyond) worship at this man's feet. ALL the most influential (electric) guitarist can be traced back to BB, whether they know it or not. Clapton, Page, Beck, Townsend, Hendrix, SRV, Healy, Gibbons, ALL the blues guys, etc all reference him as a prime influence. That "shaking his hand" is called vibrato, and that along with bending strings (notes) to mimic vocal phrases (and slide guitar licks) is what BB is commonly acknowledged as the 1st to do, at least in a popular/contemporary way. Literally everyone who plays guitar uses these techniques. I had the privilege and honor to see him, Buddy Guy, Hubert Sumlin (Howlin' Wolf's guitarist), Jimmy Vaughan (SRV's older bro.) and Clapton play together at the 2004 Crossroads festival at the Cotton Bowl. It was epic!

I remember BB when in Australia in the early 70's playing at the hotel where I worked and my father was the manager of and, after finishing his gig, he stayed around to socialise and drink with the people who'd come to see him. A true gentleman.

@michlkwitz 2 года назад

Thank you both so much for taking us along on your musical journey. Watching you discover new artists and genres takes me back to my own musical discovery period during my late teens/early 20s. The biggest difference is that I had to depend on the radio or actually buy a record to hear the music. Now it's all on the Internet. (Although sometimes you miss out by not getting to hear a full album, front to back.)

@vincentsweargen8436 2 года назад

Mr. King is from my part of Mississippi...as well as a number of other blues artists of his caliber. I had the honor of meeting him on a couple of occasions. He was a true blues man is every sense of the word. All the greats honor him and count him as a big influence. I came from a musical household and he, along with many others, was a big part of my upbringing.

I visited his bar in Indianola MS...just south of Clarksdale. Everytime he got back home he'd just hangout a play...just a very kind gentleman

"A real delicacy" for sure Amber💯 The thrill is never gone when you listen to BB. Those absolutely exquisite notes and tone he gets is without parallel. So glad you both have finally witnessed the Mack daddy of the blues💙💙💙. I have so enjoyed watching you both expand and grow in knowledge and musical appreciation. I look forward to more of the same. There are a number of videos where he and Stevie Ray jam. BB once said that he (BB) plays the blues in sentences and Stevie Ray plays in paragraphs and never runs out of things to say. Those two had great love, respect, and mutual admiration for each other. So Rob you will enjoy seeing them both playing together.🎸🎶‼️

BB does go right to the heart of the matter. Oh yeah. He wishes her well, then...!! Here's a rabbit hole to consider! There are many duets that BB performed with other blues artists. SRV, Eric Clapton, John Mayer, Buddy Guy. But BB and U2 doing When Love Comes To Town might be a good place to start. Great great reaction! Thank you.

@MrStanleyMilton Месяц назад

His voice got grittier as he aged, and could tear your heart out anyway... this is one of the more laid back versions he did of this song tho', sometimes LIVE the horns were more involved. The keyboard here is emulating the string section which was on the original studio version from 1970. Very nice, how he'd change it up from time to time as it was his biggest hit and he almost always performed it on his shows after 1970. I saw him play in person probably 7 or 8 times. THE BEST. Always classy, powerful shows with tight, super professional presentations. There is so much to learn from this supremely talented musician/ singer/performer.

@traceyraffle6675 2 года назад

I was lucky enough to see BB live in a small local venue...one of his later gigs. He still could play amazingly and charmed the whole audience. He stayed on stage for about 1/2 hr. afterwards just chatting with everyone allowing people to move up front...magical :)

@felipegrimm6944 2 года назад

Such an iconic song. I was lucky enough to see him live about 20 years ago. I learned how to do vibrato on guitar by watching him. My favorite of his is, "There Must Be a Better World Somewhere."

Back in the early '90s there were a 3 days festival in the heart of my city of food and music. I was there on the first day when a Finnish blues/rock, a Swedish blues/rock singer, Kool & the Gang and Mr B.B. King himself! My buddy and myself asked the guards where the artists stayed at, turned out it was a hotel not far from the festival area. When the concert was over we hurried to get to the hotel and waited for the guys to arrive. Eventually B.B. came and i got to shake his hand and thank him for a great concert and also got his autograph! After some thirty years gone by i'm still proud of this!

@williamjclinton1 2 года назад

It is good to see the respect you two give to B.B King and also good to know that some younger blues artists like Robert Cray""Strong Persuader" "Right Next Door "and Gary Clark jr"Bright lights" Pearl Cadillac " will continue to carry the blues torch high for the founding fathers of blues like Robert Johnson ,Son House ,Muddy Waters Howling Wolf and so many more

Robert Cray has won all the Blue awards from new artist , song of the year and top album .

Very unique vibrato technique. He would fret the note then flip his hnd back and forth like a butterfly. Never saw anyone with that vibrato technique before.

A true artist. Saw him several times live and recordings can't touch him. In the later years the audiences love for him was felt to make the whole concert a blues lovefest. He was so respectful and loving right back.

Eric Clapton, in the 1990's, after all the recognition and praise he had received for his guitar work, said after a concert watching his great friend of (then) 25 years, B.B. King, that he (Eric) still had so much to learn about playing the guitar in terms of tone and phrasing. "It's not only what you play, but what you don't play that is important." This was Clapton's recognition that sometimes "less is more" and minimalism has its place in the blues. Many have said that "B.B. King is the measure by which you assess your own playing. The closer you are to his style, his vibrato (bending the strings) and his tone, the closer you are to perfection."

@majorharper4087 2 года назад

B.B. King live at Cook County Jail 1971 song "How Blue can I Get". B. B. King said this was one of his favorite performances, that's good enough for me.

SRV and Jimmie play guitar like no one else can. They make music like nobody else. BB. Oh my gosh BB! His guitar SINGS. Lucille is a back up vocalist unlike any other singer. BB King is a wonder, and I'm so glad you guys reacted to this song. You guys rock! Keep up the awesome work!!!

@markgarber3465 2 года назад

I got to see B.B. King on a blues/jazz festival. He was the headline act. The rest of the lineup had The Fabulous Thunderbirds ( with SRV's brother Jimmy on guitar)open, Then Bonnie Raitt, and Dr John. After B.B.'s set he brought everyone on stage for a jam session that I will never ever forget

@darkomtobia 2 года назад

Buddy Guy said BB King was the greatest bluesman ever when we saw him in Tulsa back before the lockdowns. Buddy Guy is a treasure, if he gets back to touring I highly suggest catching his show. Also...BB had the most insane vibrato of any guitarist, ever.

@NealStidham 2 года назад

Good eye, Amber! B.B. King is known as having a very light touch on the guitar that lets him get lots of expression and control out of each note. Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top relates a conversation the two of them had about gear, and when Billy found out B.B. had very light-gauge strings on his guitar, he was puzzled until B.B. said, "Why you making yourself work harder to play a note than you have to?" He knew that less is more if you know what you're doing.

Now you're getting closer to where all "rock" music comes from. Need to listen to the other two kings, Freddie King, Albert King , Muddy Waters, Howln Wolf, Albert Collins, Buddy Guy, Hubert Sumlin. BB can play a single note and you know who it is. He proves you don't have to be flashy, the distance between the notes is just as important as the notes themselves. No one can play his vibrato like he does. Lucile

B. B. King aficionados would argue with me over this, but "The Thrill is Gone" is really the only B. B. King song to do on a channel like this. It's his only mainstream top ten hit. And it's a great one. A huge hit in 1969 on the pop charts. Although this live performance is much, much later than that. He is the undisputed king of the blues. And one of the world's greatest virtuosos on the blues guitar. For a slightly different take on this song, check out BB's duet of "The Thrill is Gone" with Tracy Chapman. Reaches down inside and grabs my heart every time. By the way, you really need to do a reaction to Sister Rosetta Tharpe. And the song you should do is "The Train." There's a fabulous live performance of it on RU-vid. She is widely acknowledged as the first woman to play electric guitar in live performances. Blues, soul, and gospel, all rolled into one. She is wonnnnnnnnnnderful!!!!!!

@Alewifes_Husband 2 года назад

One thing that struck me as I watched this video (1980's or 1990's??) was that, King must have performed this song about 1000 times since he first recorded it....and still he's putting all that same soul and feeling into it. I saw BB King live in the late 90's and he was still full of the feel and sounding great. Consummate showman.

@philipkrueger4977 2 года назад

The 1st time I saw BB King was in about 1985 in Toledo, Ohio. I was there alone 1 white guy of maybe a couple dozen white folks in a crowd of about 3,000. People around me were super cool and were excited to see me absolutely hypnotized be BB. He really played the crowd like an instrument whipping them into a frenzy, then in a few notes silencing them as EVERYONE nodded their heads to his blues riff. Albert King and his flying V guitar opened for him. I saw BB King later, about 2005 with my wife, the crowd was 50/50 white & black. BB sat on a chair and said " I know what you'll thinkin'... Awww look at BB, he so damn old, he gotta sit down. You'd be right!" Beautiful talented man, RIP BB & Lucille.
