Jeff Wexler Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Totally bummed... I've loved BB King my whole life... I knew he was old and in bad health, always so sad when you hear they're gone. You will be missed but your spirit and the music lives on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old school Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 RIP BB King. I was lucky to see him and his band 3 times in my life. 1st time was the best. 1970 in Phoenix Az at a theater in the round. Half the crowd was white college kids dressed as we did back then, the other half of the crowd was black and dressed in their finest threads. The emotional electricity was insane as they tore into their set. Women were crying as they walked up to the stage with roses and other flowers and put them at his feet. I'd seen a lot bands by that point in time but BB blew them all away. Last time I saw him was at The Coach House in San Clemente maybe 10 years ago. They were still great. He had the gift and gave it to all freely and with love. Big fan of the man called BB. CrewC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Gilchrist Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Bob Mugge has made his unreleased B.B. King concert film, The Road Home: B.B. King in Indianola available for streaming on Vimeo through the weekend. It's a pretty straightforward performance film of King's May 2003 late-night show at Indianola, MS's legendary Club Ebony. Mugge's films are made for folks that love music as much as he does. https://vimeo.com/126855995 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philip Perkins Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Got to work with him a few times, simple commercials, but he played his guitar in all of them. I kept the fader-strip tape "Lucille" on my old AD145 for 10 years after that. Sweet man, very generous. p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
