That Bass player knew he got down!!! He made that Bass Guitar Talk!!!!!
I cant get tired of watching this song. First: look at his expression from start to 14 second when he is playing the intro riff. Second: his great performance and clearly sung English. Third: his good intention to isolate the bassist at the end to introduce him to the crowd. Bassist usually get lost in the mix unless one pay close attention to the tune. Fourthly: if this tune doesn't make your body move, or at least your hand , then you gotta be a music Grinch. Lastly RIP
Every word is so goddamn right! He gives me the hope that humans can be good! A legend. RIP. Still so sad...
Big man, ever green. Simply exhilarating. Good night, great man
Hola Aluchi Del Pasado, buena tarde. Me podrías decir el nombre del excelente BAJISTA en ésta canción? Hi Aluchi. Can you give me the name of excellent BASSIST? Thanks so much. Gracias. Saludos.
THANK YOU! I CAN
CLEARLY UNDERSTAND EVERY WORD HE
SAYS. I AM TRYING
TO TEACH MY GRAND DAUGHTERS
ABOUT THE B L U E S AND RHYTHM AND BLUES.
😏👏👏👏
Man, am I glad I've seen him live 3 times. Once in Montreux in the 80s, very small venue with guest stars Etta James and Queen guitarist Brian May. Haha, and Brian May's solo too was stopped with the famous finger circling in the air. Even a man of the stature of Brian May was only a little boy on B.B.'s stage.
I love to believe that the Queen asked BB for advice
She did man... She did.
Rest in peace Big Man. We'll never see the likes again.
Now that was some fierce bass soloing.
the drummer also deserves a mention
Damn right
2024 and still listening to this legendary BB King performance to cheer up! RIP good man
His timing ... unreal. Luscious groove, funkdriven bassplayer outer space!!
Wish his solos was longer, BB making Lucille talk
This song, not only is wonderful in itself, but is musical medicine.
Saved my life.
"I'm pretty fast myself" - LOVE IT!!
My 2 year old daughter asks me for this video everyday! 🙏💚
Super Phantastic🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
That bass. The King. My heart.
"Oh BB sometimes it's so hard to pull things together". :) RIP.
That bass!
my goodness thats all you gotta say :)
Thank you BB for all the material you gave to this world and music. Thank you Mr. Russell Jackson too, for your contribution to the electric Fender bass.
One of the best bass solos I ever heard!!
MY GOD, I miss the 80s!! Such a good time! RIP BB!! The bass players THUMB must have been killing him after this show 🤗🤗
BB's advise to the queen is the best!!
"Im pretty fast myself" Too good
My Mother used to play B.B. K🤴 ❤
We are so fortunate to be able to see this today. Thank you. Great advice. Best guitar player ever. The kindest man I ever met.
He was, without a doubt THE master showman- blues ambassador, storyteller, with an incredible band that was clearly playing each instrument infused with so much joy and verve- the narrative of this song, and the way the riff keeps coming back in at the right time. So authentic, such a pure force of spirit
Saw him 4 Live for 4 times. And each time he was a force of nature personified.
BB king . Fantastic. An amazing individual can't get enough
That band is right there with him I think they got it together I use to love to see him in Savannah Georgia I was friends with his road manager aunt and that was a free show and. Back stage pass
Came across this whilst driving through the Pyrenees with sons.Happy days!
BB and the band were on Fire 🔥!
This is probably one one of the finest live examples of this track out there.. maybe the the very best! (as is the live at nicks version of The Thrill is gone)
I am big fan of BB and have every one of his albums, but coming onto youtube is one of my greatest pleasures in life.
If i could make just one wish, i would not have been born in 1983, maybe 20 years or so earlier so i could have been at this gig live!!
Love ya BB!!
Im from england and hearing this makes me think of whats great about america!
People like you were why we had the awesome british blues-rock bands. You all loved American Blues and started playing it yourself. And it ROCKED
Rumor is that still to this day that bass guitar that Russell Jackson played that night still has smoke coming off it!!!!
How i miss the 80s!! GOOD TIMES!! RIP BB!
apart from everything else that is brilliant here, as a Brit, I love the idea of the Queen driving through London early one morning after a party and getting BB's advice.
LEGEND

I thought I was the only one who cheers up when listening to this song
Wow!! So inspiring.
Lyrics
I've been around and I've seen some things
People moving faster than the speed of sound
Faster than the speeding bullet
People living like Superman
All day and all night
And I won't say if it's wrong or if it's right
I'm pretty fast myself
But I do have some advice to pass along
Along in the chorus of this song
Better not look down
If you want to keep on flying
Put the hammer down
Keep it full speed ahead
Better not look back
Or you might just wind up crying
You can keep it moving
If you don't look down
An old girl friend of mine showed up the other day
That girl have lived in love and for love
And over love, and under love all her life
If the arrows from cupid's bow that had
Passed through her heart had been sticking
Out of her body she would have looked like
A porcupine, and she asked me
B.B. do you think I've lived my life all wrong?
And I said: The only advice I have to pass
Along in the chorus of this song
Girl
Better not look down
If you want to keep on flying
Put the hammer down
Keep it full speed ahead
Better not look back
Or you might just wind up crying
You can keep it moving
If you don't look down
I was walking down the street at sunrise one morning
In London, England
And there was a very large Rolls Royce Limousine
Pulling slowly along the street
And in that Rolls Royce was the Queen of England
Looking tired
Just go back from a party, and the Queen leaned out and
She said: Aren't you B.B. King? She said:
Oh B.B., sometimes it's so hard to pull things together
Could you tell me what you think I ought to do?
And I said:
Better not look down
If you want to keep on flying
Put the hammer down
Keep it full speed ahead
Better not look back
Or you might just wind up crying
You can keep it moving
If you don't look down
This was always my favorite when I was able to see him live. RIP BB
RIP B.B. King. Thanks for the music.

B.B. with two capital bees,at his finest always tells a story and has a crackling rythum section that's when you had all brothers in the bands back in the day .
B.B., you’re gonna save my day again. Thank you^^
What a terrific number that was. R.I.P. BB.

This is the LEGEND!!!!!
BIG UP RERSPECT TO THE GREAT BB KING !
Estralem os dedos, balance a cabeça para direita e para esquerda ou simplesmente bata os pés ao ritmo da música. Não importa! Deixe tua alma livre e use teu corpo para bailar livremente... Delícia de batida musical!!!
boy that man can song
all without auto-tune!
I've read that BB was known to play gigs with Lucille miles out of tune, but always reaching the precise pitch with super-accurate bends!
Great forever
B B you and the queen of england love you dance
