I saw this live. About half the crowd left, this was after the Clapton solo set, close to midnight. Bill Murray was imploring people to not leave, best is yet to come, but they did. This was beyond incredible. What possessed Robert Randolph to do what he did.................maybe he was supposed to, but the whole thing was surreal. BB King told Clapton, Cray and Vaughn that if he had to sit they had to as well. And then they did what they did. Since so many people had left it was easy to maneuver close to the stage, the look on King's face during the song was amazing, it was like he was young again.
while its a great sentiment. I dont like to think in absolutist terms like this. A greater thing could always come. That's the definition of hope and what has kept us as a species alive.
Sri Lankan living in the Emirates listening to this proves that music has no boundaries. I've been listening to this continuously since the lockdown. Just legendary 🇱🇰❤️
Let no shame be in your game. I am 85, was raised in this music environment. It has kept me alive when I wanted to die, lifted me up from my lowest points of life. I will play it until I can't.
Took my daughter to her first "real" Concert, a Blue's festival headlining BB King when she was 19. She will now Love the Blues throughout her life. I can't think of a greater gift for a wonderful daughter... She's now 31 with 3 kids and a great husband. My grandkids will be turned on to the Blues so the legacy continues.
ViolentFury1 That should go without saying! I enjoy almost all types of music from 40's "Big Band", Country, Southern Rock and of course, Heavy Metal of the 60's, 70's and 80's. Blues is special. It's heart and history hold a special place...
When I was a boy, my dad took me to a BB King concert in our hometown (the 1993 "Jazz en Nord" blues festival in Tourcoing, North of France). I was probably one of the only kids in there. At one point, he started shaking the hands of the people close to the stage. Unfortunately, I was a meter away, on my dad's shoulders. I reached and reeeeached out my hand to the King... But it seemed like he didn't notice me... Until he stopped walking, set his eyes on me and said "YOU !"... and shook my hand :) The smile on my face must have been larger than the concert hall we were in!
Édouard Nasri I’m 14 right now but I just don’t find anything amazing seeing legends on UA-cam, I just feel like that I should see them live or buy a record or something to make it feel special. Am I right?
@@antares3975 I also remember spending a lot of time looking at my dad's CD covers. UA-cam doesn't give the same feeling, although it gives you access to a lot of songs and artists ;)
I think the most impressive thing is that BB was 85 years old. He played Glastonbury at 86.??? But when you know you got Eric Clapton, Robert Cray & Jimmy Vaughn on lead support, you got RESPECT.
I saw "The King" in 67 at Northern Illinois University. I stood right next to the stage, which was only about 4 ft above the gym floor. He rocked the house. When he was done he held his open palm with his guitar pick to me. I have it.
I saw him at air port. One of his roadies sat next to me trying to hold my hand when we hit Turbulence. I was all of 19 headed to Germany. That was early 70’s. Had it been king I would have let him. But he was up in first class. I love him even back then.
Incredible!! I am 83 and played bass in a blues club long ago where BB King was the only muso listed on the Wurlitzer, and really known as the king indeed. This such a fine tribute recording of BB King and a group of the finest musos. Thank you for posting this Rhino! Wow, just Wow!
@@JoaoVictor-cd4bd Thanks, glad to hear from you. This recording video is a rare gift for all of us. I played in a black club and was called a grey as the only white and at a Jazz club called Janko's, and at college clubs. I was so proud to be a part of it.
I don’t know how to describe it but some of his solos kinda have some type of intensity, even though it’s a blues song, there’s just something about it
Thank you very much BB. This master piece was sent to me from Heaven when I was lower than the mop on the floor. This truly helped me ride the wave of sorrow. RIP BB
@@melindahartley4453 Jimmie Vaughan has his own band these days but was part of the fabulous thunderbirds and a couple of others back in the day. Also, he’s SRV’s older brother. 🤘🤘
B.B. King, the legendary blues musician, was born on September 16, 1925, and passed away on May 14, 2015. If he were still alive today in 2024, he would have been 99 years old.
I really hope that someday maybe passed 2050 or 2060 some young man finds this video and finds it well. I was born in 2000 and from what I’ve seen growing up, our world has lost a lot of patience and love and it seems to continue down a path further and further away from the good side. It’s a tough world out there but I know that if I can find the blues as near and dear as I do, they’re bound to stay forever and ever. I’ve never felt something quite like the feeling one gets from listening to blues music and this stage is full of 100% blues blood brothers. It’s truly beautiful to still have video of live shows they had from their prime. It’s inspiring and slightly overwhelming to know how much blues can do for someone in hard times. Most don’t even bother trying to understand it and it’s hurtful to see but I will never stop listening to the best thing humans have ever created. The blues will always be here.. ALWAYS!! P.S. that steel guitar solo in the end was absolutely amazing 😮💨 someone buttered his glass.
I am proud that my father let me grow up with this music. I'm 26 today and have been listening to this music for as long as I can remember. Simply brilliant!
Same here. I'm 20 and if it wasn't for my dad, I probably wouldn't even know real music like this. Unfortunately, I didn't have the chance to see BB live (while my father did) 😢 but we did go to a Robert Cray concert, and just a week ago we witnessed the greatness of Clapton. Blues is alive and well 🎸
Man I hear you it's all I have to remember mine he died when I was 6 every time I hear this album the original album record I can remember him perfectly it's a miracle working sound for me 😢😢
BB would love to hear you say that, but I know how he would react. He would be gracious and thank you humbly. He might tell its not true. BB played with all kinds of people who he might say we're better. Playing the blues isn't about better. It's a language you try and speak, if you're doing it right. Haha. TT2022
@@timtooker8332 Buddy is touring Spring 2023. I lived most of my life in Chicago and saw him more than a few times. I was at Crossroads 2007 and 2010 and BB puts on a show. All the other guitar gods there watched him in amazement. Buddy was at those too.
I’m 27 & enjoying every second of his art. Unfortunately I had never the opportunity to see him live. I feel something special while listening to his music.
This music getting me through my sons passing. Sad, angry, depressed. It’s pulling me out of the darkness slowly. I listen morning to night. Stops the dark thoughts in my head.
Hang in there Angel; lost my Son in 2004. He was an amazing kid. My God be with you on your journey; the misery road is rocky and crooked; but I believe we will see our son's again. Rock Steady Angel T; you are not alone....
4:12 Imagine putting all of your time and effort in too learning the art of playing guitar for multiple years, have the opportunity to play with B.B King and he gives you the thumbs up. That mans life is now complete.
My great grandma’s favorite artist. We played this song over and over this very day, 6 years ago as she drew her last breath. Merry Christmas Madear….the thrill is gone 🖤
I am a Black Lady work at Hartsfield Airport and I just sit down and listen to this.. waiting on that Virgin Atlantic to glide on in.. so relaxing.. just love it !!!
This isn't music anymore, this isn't a feeling anymore.. This is life! This performance is so legendary on so many levels. But what's making this so damn good is the total relaxed vibe it gives and how everybody is playing besides mr King.
This man carried my through hard times. If it wasn't for him, I'd probably no longer be here. It's also the only person I ever cried for when I heard he died (I don't even cry when family dies). Thanks BB for your existence, your music and your legacy
The blues star playing the pedal steel from 8:55 to 9:05 is a legend! Best ever! Was cut short be the entrance of the all stars...but he was beyond killing it!
Yes!! Agree 💯!! He was killing it, one of my favorite parts but as you said with the entrance of all the stars, just wished he would have had his solo first without the entrances...
By chance I saw BB perform this song in Philadelphia in 1969 with a small gathering of 350 people. Not a soul was unmoved by the beauty of song. How lucky was I?
At 19 years old, I used to go and see B.B.King at the Red Lion Inn, a small intimate venue in Champaign, Illinois. Not totally sure how I was so lucky, but I was in the right place. He is on the top of blues musicians and a hero.
I'll be 80 years old this July 2024. The very first time I heard it, it knocked me off my feet, and all his songs also! These are not just MASTER PIECES, THEY ARE GOLDEN, DIAMONDS PEARLS MASTER PIECES!!!!!!! EVEN THE ANGELS WILL DANCE TO IT!!!!! WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER B.B.K.
Aw man! Bless you sir that you would be 80 in July. My dad will be 80 this year as well, but his birthday is in August. He likes blues and "oldies but goodies" songs and so do I. I'm 44 and they don't make old school music anymore like they used to back in those years.
He was the king haha one of the best. There were alot and still are alot of damn good blues players thankfully. Nothing like this music. Makes you feel everything.
REAL musicians, each and every one. I feel privileged and humbled being able to hear these wonderful people playing this wonderful music, RIP BB King, gone, but not forgotten.
This man walked the earth and both broke, and mended, hearts all around the world. I'm literally choked up a little listening to this and I'm a grown ass man.
This is the best music ever when my grandson gets a little cranky he's nine old now ever since he was born a I can put this on and he stops and is just mesmerized amazing
My mother recently passed away and she loved BB King and a good glass of wine. I don't drink, I like heavy metal, but today I decided to listen to BB King. Very good!!! I want to remember her laughing, listening to BB King, Led Zeppelin, Roling Stones, Deep Purple. I hope she's listening to rock and dancing in heaven!!!
I heard about BB King in 2015, when he was on the news as he passed. I’m multiple generations past his time (he was 74 the year I was born). But this song captivated me the first time I heard it and got me into Blues music. What an amazing musical talent. God bless Mr King and rest in peace
BB King was and still is a Gift to all of us! Never will we have music like this. Such awesome talents from Clapton as well. Clapton, Lindsay Buckingham & Carlos Santana are the Very Best guitarists in the world I am grateful to have lived to enjoy their gifted music!❤❤❤
I've watched this IDK how many times, I basically cry everytime I watch it, Just so amazing how much talent up there all in sync gets right to the soul
This is very true, i am 20 years old , i went through my first ever heartbreak, what hurt me the most about everything was that this person was enjoying my pain, and humipiation. That part where BB sings, the thrill is gone ,you gonna be sorry one day, that part eases me, I am living better now, I have found myself again, But this medley really brings peace to the soul
ive listened and watched this clip more than i can ever count, its one of those that got me into blues. I can never get over the transition between each artist/guitarist...so smooth, so seamless (literally). Absolutely exceptional. One of the best hits and best live perfomances ever.
This was a time when music kept living like nothing in this world was wrong. No fear of dancing like no one is watching and No fear of walking in your neighborhoods at night. This is why I listen to the Blues , it's keep me alive.
I love how every B.B. performance he is just enjoying the moment and jamming appreciating all the other talented musicians that gravitate toward his greatness
I am blessed to be a woman of 61 from Little Rock Arkansas, Memphis, and Nashville TN. Growing up we would head to Memphis every week-end. Disco, Blues, Rock n Roll. Any live venues we could find when we were 16 to 22. The age limit was 21 in Arkansas and 18 in Memphis. A whole car load of girls in a Vega would go to Memphis with mini dresses and rollers in our hair. We seen so many greats and made so many memories. I think I have danced on every bar on Cooper and Madison, and Beale Street at one time or another in my young life. Different times back then for sure. It's a wonder my liver has held out this long. I am lucky enough to have been an amateur photographer. I am joining now with a painter of blues artist here in Nashville. My kids grew up listening to all of the Cadillac Records, Motown, and any blues we could get a hold of a record for. They can tell you about Howlin Wolfe, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, and W.C. Handy's composition of “Memphis Blues.” Yes, I am blessed.
je suis vraiment content de l'écouter car ici en France BB KING est aussi un grand jazz man un grand compositeur merci à l'Amérique de nous avoir donné une aussi belle musique
Don't it make you feel good knowing there's something good flowing out there in that 'goneness' that's eternal? Makes me feel good and connected to be able to know it right now too. Long live good music! Energy is neither created or destroyed! Ride it one more time. Play it back loud enough til your soul is free to just BE!
To the beautiful soul reading this, if you are going through a hard time, know that it is only temporary. You will overcome it and manifest all that you desire.
I started by wondering who was my fave, but after a lot of consideration, I realised they were all as good as each other in different ways, brilliant ❤❤❤❤

This is the definition of a "jam session". And it's sad to say, there will never be one greater...
I get lost in the session
Morgan Freeman should do a movie of bbking
Never give up on music somewhere out there is another great artist love to listen to the oldies but always searching for new music to love

Wish you Sir a long and great life
This isn't music anymore, this isn't a feeling anymore.. This is life! This performance is so legendary on so many levels. But what's making this so damn good is the total relaxed vibe it gives and how everybody is playing besides mr King.

This man carried my through hard times. If it wasn't for him, I'd probably no longer be here. It's also the only person I ever cried for when I heard he died (I don't even cry when family dies).
Thanks BB for your existence, your music and your legacy
Yes, funny how genuine people make us feel 😊at home.
The blues star playing the pedal steel from 8:55 to 9:05 is a legend! Best ever! Was cut short be the entrance of the all stars...but he was beyond killing it!
yeah he obviously blew the whole lot away :P
I TOTALLY agree. This guy has truly honed his craft!!
And you hear him through the whole song.
Yes!! Agree 💯!! He was killing it, one of my favorite parts but as you said with the entrance of all the stars, just wished he would have had his solo first without the entrances...
Does anyone know the name of this steel player?
Everyone in this jam was amazing, but holy shit, the lap steel player blew me away! SO MUCH TONE!
agree

ON SE FATIGUE JAMAIS EN ECOUTANT LA BELLE MUSIQUE DES GRANDS ARTISTES COMME CE GRAND MONSIEUR B.B KING ET COMPAGNIE....
Everyone of these guys are special amazing players unreal, this is one of my favorites outta them all, magic .
By chance I saw BB perform this song in Philadelphia in 1969 with a small gathering of 350 people. Not a soul was unmoved by the beauty of song. How lucky was I?
Wow!!! Very lucky 👍🏽
This is my favorite version of thrill is gone. So much talent on this stage R.I.P Mr BB King.
I agree. 💯 doesn't get better than these guys. My favorite version
I must admit mine too, in fact the crossroads series have my fav version of a lot of songs
For me this is the best live performance video on UA-cam...when it comes to music ..we all speak the same language ...PEACE AND LOVE FOR EVERYONE ❤
Великий дядька! Писал и пел на века! В 85 лет на сцене в качестве солиста, как в 40 а не в качестве почтенной мумии! Респект и уважение!

The remarkable thing about this performance is that all these guys on stage grew up with BB King being their exposure to the blues.
At 19 years old, I used to go and see B.B.King at the Red Lion Inn, a small intimate venue in Champaign, Illinois.
Not totally sure how I was so lucky, but I was in the right place.
He is on the top of blues musicians and a hero.
01:42 I can’t explain in words but I can feel it in my soul.

I'll be 80 years old this July 2024. The very first time I heard it, it knocked me off my feet, and all his songs also! These are not just MASTER PIECES, THEY ARE GOLDEN, DIAMONDS PEARLS MASTER PIECES!!!!!!! EVEN THE ANGELS WILL DANCE TO IT!!!!! WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER B.B.K.
Aw man! Bless you sir that you would be 80 in July. My dad will be 80 this year as well, but his birthday is in August. He likes blues and "oldies but goodies" songs and so do I. I'm 44 and they don't make old school music anymore like they used to back in those years.
I like you but your crazy...

Three masters of the blues guitar, paying homage to BB King, as it should be. 80 million views, as it should be.
I am 42 years old and proud of listening this good stuff !!!!!
Crazy to see the way all these great musicians looked at B.B King, truly a legend. RIP
He was the king haha one of the best. There were alot and still are alot of damn good blues players thankfully. Nothing like this music. Makes you feel everything.
He is biggest all
off'
REAL musicians, each and every one. I feel privileged and humbled being able to hear these wonderful people playing this wonderful music, RIP BB King, gone, but not forgotten.
Is this best
Watched him twice in person with front row seats. Damn this is music.
No one can duplicate this perfection...legends live forever
Saw him 3 times live, I'm a blessed man. Once with Clarence Clemens on sax it was un-real 40,000 people swaying to the beat
🔥👊🙏
I COULD NOT AGREE MORE
. This music knows no race, culture, age, LOVE and PEACE to All...
One love , one heart!

So very true. ❤️
Mr. King . As long as we have this. The thrill is not gone. Fillmore east 197.....
This man walked the earth and both broke, and mended, hearts all around the world. I'm literally choked up a little listening to this and I'm a grown ass man.
there that
This is the best music ever when my grandson gets a little cranky he's nine old now ever since he was born a I can put this on and he stops and is just mesmerized amazing
This is truly music for the soul
Lol bless you .
My mother recently passed away and she loved BB King and a good glass of wine. I don't drink, I like heavy metal, but today I decided to listen to BB King. Very good!!! I want to remember her laughing, listening to BB King, Led Zeppelin, Roling Stones, Deep Purple. I hope she's listening to rock and dancing in heaven!!!
Love this honey and your mama is jamming with you!
Oh bb you are special and will always be loved!!!
Thanks for sharing, Leo. RIP and Rock on!
Love this rest in heavenly peace to your mum 👌
God bless your mother she knew something
The flow is so smooth and remarkable is beyond words!
BB is pure class 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

This os the utmost best way to play that tune. Way to go Mr. King and all the rest of those fantastic guitarists and band. AWESOME!!!!
I heard about BB King in 2015, when he was on the news as he passed. I’m multiple generations past his time (he was 74 the year I was born). But this song captivated me the first time I heard it and got me into Blues music.
What an amazing musical talent. God bless Mr King and rest in peace

BB King was and still is a Gift to all of us! Never will we have music like this. Such awesome talents from Clapton as well. Clapton, Lindsay Buckingham & Carlos Santana are the Very Best guitarists in the world I am grateful to have lived to enjoy their gifted music!❤❤❤

What a masterpiece and one of the very best known blues jam.
I've watched this IDK how many times, I basically cry everytime I watch it, Just so amazing how much talent up there all in sync gets right to the soul
This song NEVER gets old! When you are living what the song is saying, it means much more to you.
This is very true, i am 20 years old , i went through my first ever heartbreak, what hurt me the most about everything was that this person was enjoying my pain, and humipiation.
That part where BB sings, the thrill is gone ,you gonna be sorry one day, that part eases me,
I am living better now, I have found myself again,
But this medley really brings peace to the soul
that sweet tone on bb kings guitar says it all.
Amen to that im in active addiction to methamphetamine and tbh the thrill I got I got when I first started using is gone

This ensemble is like the traveling Wilburys do the blues I saw BB and 1974 and at the county fairgrounds in Kingman Arizona Oracle
Oh shit...!! Damn right!!😅
👍👍👍✈️🌅🥂🏄
All of that plus a joint!
ive listened and watched this clip more than i can ever count, its one of those that got me into blues. I can never get over the transition between each artist/guitarist...so smooth, so seamless (literally). Absolutely exceptional. One of the best hits and best live perfomances ever.
Clearly beautiful.

Some of the best music 🎶 ever 🎉❤and a great music legend ❤I listen to this song when I want to feel good ❤
This was a time when music kept living like nothing in this world was wrong. No fear of dancing like no one is watching and No fear of walking in your neighborhoods at night. This is why I listen to the Blues , it's keep me alive.

When you treat your guitar as a woman you love, this is the sound you get!
Amen to that 😂
It has a female shap
Very poetic! It equals this wonderful masterpiece!❤
Best ever Thrill is Gone performance. I saw him play in the 60s - 70s, and his music always transports me to another plane.
Гитара должна выть и плакать что и кинг и сделал в своей жизни
Hello 👋 Jennifer
Wow! Thanks BB King. Refreshing to hear some real music.
I feel like he's saying thank you and good bye, it's in his glance and the way they return it to him.....that's the real, man
I love how every B.B. performance he is just enjoying the moment and jamming appreciating all the other talented musicians that gravitate toward his greatness
Maravilhosos👏👏👏🎸🎸🎸🎸🎙🎙🎙🎙
All of The world's greatest guitar players on one stage !
Right brother GOD bless
Forgetting Carlos.
I realy beilive you ! 🎶🎶🎸👌😍
Who are the 3 guitar players up on stage with BB? I know that Eric Clapton is up there but I don't know the other 2 players.

I am blessed to be a woman of 61 from Little Rock Arkansas, Memphis, and Nashville TN. Growing up we would head to Memphis every week-end. Disco, Blues, Rock n Roll. Any live venues we could find when we were 16 to 22. The age limit was 21 in Arkansas and 18 in Memphis. A whole car load of girls in a Vega would go to Memphis with mini dresses and rollers in our hair. We seen so many greats and made so many memories. I think I have danced on every bar on Cooper and Madison, and Beale Street at one time or another in my young life. Different times back then for sure. It's a wonder my liver has held out this long.
I am lucky enough to have been an amateur photographer. I am joining now with a painter of blues artist here in Nashville. My kids grew up listening to all of the Cadillac Records, Motown, and any blues we could get a hold of a record for. They can tell you about Howlin Wolfe, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, and W.C. Handy's composition of “Memphis Blues.” Yes, I am blessed.
I'm kind of moved by how great this is. B delivers every time with that hummingbird tone, and the others all give amazing solos following his lead.
je suis vraiment content de l'écouter car ici en France BB KING est aussi un grand jazz man un grand compositeur merci à l'Amérique de nous avoir donné une aussi belle musique
When all of us are gone, this song will still remain, reverberating in the vast stretches of the universe
Don't it make you feel good knowing there's something good flowing out there in that 'goneness' that's eternal? Makes me feel good and connected to be able to know it right now too. Long live good music! Energy is neither created or destroyed! Ride it one more time. Play it back loud enough til your soul is free to just BE!
To the beautiful soul reading this, if you are going through a hard time, know that it is only temporary. You will overcome it and manifest all that you desire.

Same for you🙏🏽🫶🏽
