King. He will play in Belgium at the Gent Jazz festival on 08/07/09 on the opening evening. Its the first time I will see him live , i'm really looking forward to it ! Now , I was wondering if here are other forummembers have seen him live? And if , I suppose it was a good experience? We all know MK and B.B. have a song together : All Over Again on B.B.'s cd "B.B. King and friends 80" I was also wondering if there are some pictures from them together , but to be honest I doubt it. I have never seen a picture from them together , anyone else ? Must be very nice to see them playing togheter. So Long , Henk Last Edited By: am012513 12/03/09 06:24:17. Edited 1 time.

You'll definitely be in for a treat my friend! I have seen him live in Belgium 2 times. I believe it was last year and the year before. Don't remember exactly. But i do remember the concerts and the great atmosphere! One of the concerts was on his 80th birthday. Really special. The organisation surprised the King with a huge birthday cake on stage. BB King is one of those artists you just have to have seen live at least once in your life. His songs are great to listen to on cd but that's nothing compared to being at one of his concerts. The atmosphere is just absolutely amazing and he is accompanied by an awesome band. To illustrate: my wife didn't know any of his songs but she still says it are the best concerts she ever attended! He really takes the time to connect with his audience in between songs - telling stories and making jokes. Both concerts were quite identical. Almost all the same songs and the same jokes inbetween :-) I'm sure you'll have a great time! Let me know how it was! Greetz, Creimke

I saw him only once in Dublin a free open air concert if you can believe that and I would have gladly paid handsomely to see him. He's such a great artist and like chet atkins a great person just to listen to talking about his music. He's one of those players you think you know how to play like him but no as Blackadder would say "he's as subtle as a very subtle thing". Enjoy!

King! I didn't like Blues music in the past, but since I joined Audiocandy.com a few years ago and listen every day to Big Blue Radio where different kinds of music are played, I found some wonderful Blues artists like BB King of course, but also Hitman Blues Band, Mick Abrahams and many others! Quote Rollergirl: "still touring..... if he can, so can MK, so we have over 20 years of MK to look forward to! " I agree with you Nat!

Its music from the heart , not like cheap pop music that is in the music charts. Glad you discovered it ! I like 12 bars Last Edited By: am012513 29/03/09 19:55:04. Edited 1 times.

He is an excellent performer and the sweetest tones on his guitar, Lucille. he plays with a great band, and one of his guitarists is only a couple of years younger than him. Enjoy the show. I have a lot of his music.

King concert and it was truly amazing. His band (8 piece band!) came first on stage and they played a sort of solo's on their instruments for 15' . I was blown away by these really excellent musicians. After that B.B came on stage .... and again I was blown away. He was (as always) in a good mood and had much interaction with the audience , always talking and joking between the songs: "The knees are bad, the back is bad and lately the head isn't doing very well,but I can remember one thing. I'm now 83 years old." He had his great blues voice with him and his excellent guitar playing. The concert ended after 90 minutes beautiful blues music . Nice piece of work I can say , Henk
