MrDavidHutchison (8 months ago) What a great performance by the King and co.! Excellent

ledzeppelinbojo (8 months ago) It takes people of intelligence to enjoy this music. My friends listen to Lil Wayne and Lor Rida while the girls listen to Hannah Montana and the Jonas Brothers. What happened to JAZZ, ROCK, MOTOWM, AND THE BLUES!!!!????

esb420 (8 months ago) I like King, Waters, and Hooker a lot. I also like Lil Wayne. Am I a mutant?
****
Eurasian8 (8 months ago) Haha I love schubert, saint saens, hooker, santana, you're not the only one. Like admnistr00 said, it's not right to like only one type of music. It's good to have some variety! Who wouldn't love Hooker anyway?

linger1978 (7 months ago) blues is older than jazz, so jazz come from blues...
Fr3eStyle2 (7 months ago) jazz origins from ragtime dixieland and blues and is the first truly american form of music... music history lolol

bluestudio67 (4 months ago) I just saw him this last friday. Even at 83 he still plays that ol geetar great. Did a lot of talking, same as his other concerts. I think his fingers are really getting tired a lot these days.

piggear (6 months ago) I can tell you that the first song is "Whole Lotta Loving", the second is "Keys to the Highway"...I have no idea what the third song is though.

50sResearchCenter (5 months ago) Butterfield certainly didn't write it. BB released it on single in 1965: ABC-Paramount 10724 = All Over Again b/w The Things You Put Me Through. Butterfield (or Mike Bloomfield) probably heard it when it was a '65 R&B hit and covered it on the East West album. Peter Green might have found it on the lp The Electric B.B.King as the Fleetwood Mac arrangement is quite different from The Butterfield Blues Band's. But Butterfield sat in with the Mac in 1969, so it is possible they learned it from him

spatchycat (7 months ago) how old was he here????
bdebo63 (6 months ago)He was 43 at this time
rockerdude29 (6 months ago) he's looked basically the same for the past 40 years haha.
GearsOfhalo4 (6 months ago) i just saw him recently and his skills haven't faded with age
****
bluesboy25000 (6 months ago) Nobody plays or sings the blues like BB King Does. So powerful. Doesn't bother playing 1 million notes when he can speak volumes with just a few choice notes
owenkabuvy (6 months ago) o yea!!! B.B. KING THE KINGS OF BLUES
amyznewz (4 months ago) If you can get your hands on an ACE issued CD called 'Do the Boogie' get it. It's a compilation of 2 of his earliest albums. And, he's playing a Strat - before Lucille.

kareljuwet (5 months ago) somebody else recognizes the theme from chopins funeral march at 3:08?
ragingstorm33 (5 months ago) i wish i could sing like, and for the mics of that time, man could you think if he was that young today??
talleywho (3 months ago) The reason for youtube.....
Steeve9292 (3 months ago) The only other video as good as this on youtube .. is part 2 ;]
bigfatdaddy713 (2 months ago) sonny freeman on drums the unsung hero of shuffle drums and one the baddest dudes ever.....BIG JOE
tuxguys (2 months ago) I saw this on PBS, back when it was NET (National Educational Television) one Sunday afternoon on WQED in 1968... I'd been playing guitar for about three years at that point... and suddenly, everything MADE SENSE. I knew what "soul" was; I knew what a tight band (not well-rehearsed; there's a difference) should sound like; I knew what a "singing" tone was.
ShiffronLandren (2 months ago) No one will ever sing on the guitar like BB King! The most melodic and sophisticated blues player ever.
peptikon (2 months ago) i love that the hammond plays the bass, and then i still haven't mentioned the tone james toney gets on the B3 and offcourse bb's powerfull voice.
RichYan33 (2 months ago) Don't you just love Youtube? Where else would you see great stuff like this?
wisesatyr72 (1 month ago) bow down to the king of the Blues
drdo1988 (1 week ago) great stuff....thats my kinda music!
mattisonlysleeping (6 days ago) BB king is the greatest guitar player of all time. If you really stop to think about it. He is. Many would disagree with this, but they aren't real musicians now are they?
digidave (1 year ago) Amazing... Gotta love blues
zappatilla (1 year ago) BB is life all day long!!

dacianX (1 year ago) Thanks for this Great video!
itapp69 (1 year ago) can you guys please stop arguing, about something has nothing to do with this video, and music in general?
minalninja (1 year ago) Trust some fools so start arguing over stupid stuff for no reason. Just hush and listen to BB and his band play blues if your gonna click on this video again.
kimbosound (1 year ago) I just love the organ [hammond and leslie] in the background....you just don't hear enough of this anymore......go you good thing

JRR951 (1 year ago) what's the second song called that starts at
meejcee (9 months ago) whats the last song called ? i love it.
****
blpix (1 year ago) ive got a mind to give up living. You should hear Peter Green's version with Fleetwood Mac in 68'. Thats how i found this one:). God Bless BB!
Kikalani (1 year ago) B.B. is my guitar idol. Great vocalist as well.
KarloR27 (1 year ago) BB said one time he'll never give up playing guitar till the good lord says it's over.
****
Stauffer610 (1 year ago) hah bb's face looks exactly the same... except the hairline has receded a bit since then. classic king!
****
dreadtodred (1 year ago) BB is the man!!!!!!!!!!!!
TREYOLDHIPPIE (1 year ago) SO classic..thanks for this. He was 'just a kid!' The second song is so chilling. That is blues. low down dirty blues.
jazz1bro (1 year ago) He is the reason I play the guitar! Plus the fact my father used to play his and Albert Kings,Collins, Freddies records too. Oh Elmore James too. I now infuse blues on tunes like 26-2 by Coltrane.
blondfeet (1 year ago) wheres the bass coming from?

bottomvibe (1 year ago) How can you not smile ..... this stuff bounces
shakti9 (1 year ago) oh my God...
cuttingheads (1 year ago) Super performance!!
gungoe (1 year ago) its not strange everybody saying he's a great guitar player, he is one of the greatest, but why doesn't anybody say something about his voice? He can sing like the best as well! Not many people can sing what he sings here.
kcmt01 (1 year ago) The second song is meant to be humorous. Lucille sounds as good as ever.
[Editor’s note-“Lucille” is the name of B.B. King’s guitar]

Nunsweepit421 (1 year ago) Thank you to the person who put this wonderful clip on youTube. There's not many clips of BB King in his younger days.
mojala2op (11 months ago) Blues King...no doubt!
****
metalycata (11 months ago) yeah!, B.B. you're The Boss!!
DrGWNHU (11 months ago) Man nobody plays those 5 notes better!!!
ETBRAIN (10 months ago) I need, at least a thousand more stars to rate this one! This is History, man! Thanks 4 posting it.
mikejschmidt (10 months ago) Anyone who can should really see BB before his time comes; there will never be another quite like him. He puts more into 1 note than most guitarists say in a lifetime.
galaxyshow (10 months ago) Unbelievable. King of the Blues ;)
fx77 (9 months ago) He has hardly aged - the manerisms are the same as today. Cool to see a clip from this era, thanks for posting.
Youssef51 (9 months ago) Music for eternity.
