This was filmed around the time that I met and interviewed B.B.- in Buffalo, for the entertainment magazine that my family was publishing at the time. Had the same lineup backing him. I was a teenager, learning to play the guitar, and I already owned some of B.B.'s albums. He was so friendly and "real", I was nervous, sitting in the presence of one of my guitar idols. I was afraid that I would say something stupid! When I saw the band onstage, I knew that this was exactly the type of band that I wanted to put together someday. R.I.P. Riley King.
@@albertobarbera663 it was a different era. James Brown studio recordings sometimes had strings. Producers were trying to add elements they thought might make the music have broader appeal. Who knows, maybe those strings were the thing that made that song so popular because it was the beginning of his crossover appeal? I get it though, I don’t care for them either. It’s kind of like the stuff John Hammond was doing with Aretha prior to 1967, it just didn’t work for me because it seemed to detract from the artist’s core talent. You couldn’t take Aretha away from gospel and R&B, but they tried. Why did they add strings to a band that already had a horn section? It added more content to the range of Lucile, but they did it.
I saw him at a festival in 2008 with my older brother and we were like we gotta see bb king before he dies. We get to the stage and he was laughing and smiling throwing pennies into the crowd then he picked up Lucille and said now I been hearing a lot of talk that bbs old and ain't going to be around much long...well I got something for them. Then he started shredding on Lucille and I remember my brother and I looking at each other like daaaaaamn.
I never saw him ~ was at the beach and heard Lucille, walked to en of beach closer to where he was performing in concert (long Beach CA) Weekend of September 9th, 2000 my son, daughters took me to NYC for my birthday. I wanted to go his Blues Club and Grill for lunch. Oldest decided we would go to a place in a World Trade Tower. I remember looking up at the tall towers, awed by their height.
Here is the Lyrics: Source "LyricFind" The thrill is gone The thrill is gone away The thrill is gone, baby The thrill is gone away You know you done me wrong, baby And you'll be sorry someday The thrill is gone It's gone away from me The thrill is gone, baby The thrill is gone away from me Although, I'll still live on But so lonely I'll be The thrill is gone It's gone away for good All the thrill is gone Baby, it's gone away for good Someday I know I'll be open-armed baby Just like I know, I know I should You know, I'm free, free now, baby I'm free from your spell Oh, free, free, free now, baby I'm free from your spell And now that it's all over All that I can do is wish you well
I love UA-cam so much, because there isn't one song i cant find here for free,when i was young i had to collect soda bottles from the ditches on Carolina backroads, and turn em in, to go to the used record store and find gems like this.But, on the other hand, i miss doing those things. Music has always been such a friend to me.
As a kid I still can see my Daddy playing his guitar and making these same musical gestures ahaaa he used to have our whole family in the living room every Friday night singing and dancing while he played the guitar and smiled seeing his kids 🌹❤️ HAPPY upcoming BIRTHDAY DADDY 🎂
You know rap is a genra in itself with a lot of diversity and can be extremely technical and lyrical. Sure every musician should be blessed to know BB king but the comparison makes no sense. Rappers are not inferior to any other kind of musicians.
My father is a photographer and I remember that in the darkroom sometimes this beautiful piece played in the background. Whenever I hear it I remember the old man, today I am a designer and sometimes when I am working...it also plays in the background.
I heard him play several times at the High-hat Social Club in Hattiesburg. What a wonderful man. I kinda stood out being 1 of the few white guys there.
You stood out in your own mind. No-one else realized you were there. I've never heard of white guys being bothered at any stop on the chitlin’ circuit.
When you grew up with it you didn't know how special it all was. ....Oh, how I miss it all now! BB, Bobby, Albert King, ZZ Hill, Little Milton, Johnny Taylor, Lattimore....
Once upon a time in CA. there were a group of people Lowriders was what they were called. This is the music that would be blasting out the windows of their lowered cars. They drove low and slow and Soul was their music of choice. I miss them
Absolutely beautiful. B.B. King's music is one of those things that even with complete lack of context can be so fully representative of the passion in the human spirit
Reminds me of being in the juke joints up on the hill in hickory North Carolina listening to blues on jukeboxes then around midnight ordering up some pig feet white bread with hot sauce on the side with vinegar and a bootleggers half pint of corn whiskey or bourbon supreme chased with a cold can of country club
God already blessed me by giving me the opportunity to see Mr King live when I was probably 13 years old, w my other music nerd friends, for my birthday. This was shortly before he ascended to heaven
Only one BB King. Such an incredible musician and performer. I saw him in concert about 40 years ago at an outdoor venue, hot summer night by the lake. One of the greatest concerts I ever saw. RIP BB, you were a true master.
Sweat is less prevalent since the change to LED lighting which doesn't generate anywhere near the head on stage and better ventilation in venues but....this doesn't account for the lack of talent in modern performers though and them working nowhere near as hard for it as musicians in the past!
Musicians dont go on stage in three piece poly suits anymore...for good reason. I'm sweating here looking him. There's not a natural fabric in that room!
my sister dedicated this to my dad at his funeral…he loved bb king!!! we lived on bb king road in indianola ms; where bb is from…rip bb and my dad, warren l. nance!!

I'm a confessed heavy metal fan. Went to see him when he played my home town, the best concert I've ever seen!
🫥
same here
Metal is very “real” music, so is the blues. I love both as well
@@Yabuddy53metal is really real music??
Blues stumps metal
BB at the top of his game - his vocals amazing -bluesy and soulful
You ain't heard BB until you seen BB!!...true story
saw him in Beijing china!

I thank God for having ears and being able to hear this before I die, thank you king greetings from Brazil.
I was thinking the same thing. Having the technology to bring this into your living room is precious, and should not be taken for granted either.
I'm pretty sure when you hear the phrase "the blues" BB King is what comes to most people's minds.
Him and Howlin Wolf!
🐺 🎸
Yes Sir
and Bobby Blue Bland, Solomon Burke (who I saw in concert) and The Blues Brothers movie.
the feeling of the man in 1:07, only bb king can achieve it

The thrill is gone
The thrill is gone away
The thrill is gone, baby
The thrill is gone away
You know you done me wrong, baby
And you'll be sorry someday
The thrill is gone
It's gone away from me
The thrill is gone, baby
The thrill is gone away from me
Although, I'll still live on
But so lonely I'll be
The thrill is gone
It's gone away for good
All the thrill is gone
Baby, it's gone away for good
Someday I know I'll be open-armed baby
Just like I know, I know I should
You know, I'm free, free now, baby
I'm free from your spell
Oh, free, free, free now, baby
I'm free from your spell
And now that it's all over
All that I can do is wish you well

This man knew some of the most powerful medicin.
Not just peptikon
Hablas sobre la música?
It sure has gone away. This greedy,lustful, corrupt evil world we live today in is no thrill!!!
Some days you think maybe the thrill has gone then you listen to this realise there is a bit left. Thank you BB
Я слушаю Би, чтобы чувствовать... Жизнь так быстротечна.. Би Би останется, это радует меня, спасибо автору за любовь к этому великому парню

Hello humans. My dad sent me this and it's so good.
you have a good dad
My father is a photographer and I remember that in the darkroom sometimes this beautiful piece played in the background. Whenever I hear it I remember the old man, today I am a designer and sometimes when I am working...it also plays in the background.
Blessings to you your Dad & B B King's legacies still live on!🎶❤️
And from that day on, Gibson never needed another advertisement for the 335 since.
Actually it’s an 355😅
We all love his guitar but what a voice he had too
Check out the 2 ft distance from the mic🤣❤️❤️💪🥰🤣
The king does not touch Lucille with his hands, he touches her with his soul 😍😍
The greats are gone. BB, Howlin Wolf, Muddy Watersand Aretha! May they rest in Power.
Still got Buddy Guy
Buddy Guy is still alive and kickin though, can't forget him!
Facts……
Among other fallen bluesmen. Such as John Lee Hooker, Lightnin' Hopkins, T-Bone Walker, Jimmy Reed, Magic Sam, and so many more.
Hey don’t forget about Johnny Taylor,Bobby Blue Bland & Ray Charles
This is when music was still pure ❤
No music like this quality today, not even close.
I heard him play several times at the High-hat Social Club in Hattiesburg. What a wonderful man. I kinda stood out being 1 of the few white guys there.
Not the High Hat. That spot was infamous and legendary.
You stood out in your own mind. No-one else realized you were there. I've never heard of white guys being bothered at any stop on the chitlin’ circuit.
This is why B.B.King is the King of blues himself !!
That was James Brown.
This is the song I’ll be singing while walking up the stairs to heaven
Praise GOD !!!
I am blessed to have seen B.B. in person, and take my daughter with me. Massey Hall Toronto.
His voice is unmatchable
This is classic. This is Legend!
5:39 The guitar rhythm chants "GET ON UP!" Tight band! Must have been a joy to jam with these cats!
Burning up my last 6 percent on this 🎉
Well spent
Looked at my battery and it’s at 6% as well hahaha let’s goo!!
Im on 16 😂
There is a good reason he was called King of the Blues
RIP BB
Love this one, the tempo, tone and voice are great. Also love the Gary Moore duet one 👌🏻
God Bless Gary
Blessed are the great bluesmen, and blessed are we to hear them.
Many thanks to the uploader.
The sound just grabs me and will not let me go, my hero, rip sir .

Godfather of Soul music ❤

B.B. King - 🙂 King Of The Blues - 🙂
My blues man forever
My favorite sad song, but it makes me so happy!
You can't beat this

nobody can hang a note that long just mr king sweet gibson thank you mr king
This just might be the best version I’ve ever heard. My god, he really was the King. 👑 ❤
Great guitar play but he is also one of the best singer in Blues and soul. He actually do not need to play guitar.
Beat blues song of all time? Definitely one of my favourite songs of any genre
To the person who is reading this, may God take care of you, enlighten you, and may God bless you and your family for all your life and eternity.

For me, the best, his guitar playing is full of soul
Hardworking drummer, going fast or slow on guitar lead.
I saw him perform this at the Fillmore East back in 1970...
May they rest in peace…walking between worlds ❤🍀☕️☕️
One of my all time favorite performers, could listen a million times and it never gets old. Greetings from Santee, CA USA 🇺🇸
His best live Version!!!!!! Wow what a singer He was !!!! Amazing RIP B.B King of Blues
One on the most amazing song i've ever heard.
what a joyful performance to watch.
Dammit this is fantastic.
The name says it all BB “KING”!!
Quality. Enjoyed it. Yep. Been there, done that.
BBK, Thank you for the music and may you RIP.
Best recording of this song i've heard. Slaps

I saw what must have been one the best blues bills ever at the Fillmore East - Bobby Blue Bland/Albert King/BB King - for real!
That sounds like a great line up. Was it as good as I think it was, in my head?
7 minutes of amazing performance that could be sent into space for another populated world to see the talent earth has
