I bet BB King in an elevator in Birmingham Alabama. I asked for an autograph and he said "Man i'm really tired right now, meet me in the lobby at 4;00 and bring your camera and anything you want me to sign" Later that afternoon i headed down to the lobby at about 3:45 thinking he'd never show up and when i got there he was already there sitting all by himself and waiting for me. He signed a few T-Shirts and we took some pictures together...how cool is that?
I went to a Gibson Guitars clinic in 1979, when they released their new active-electronics line. B.B. was the chief demo guy and three Gibson executives were in the back-up band. (Really) They jammed and it was pretty good, but the best part was when we lined up to get a autograph from B.B. I didn't want his autograph. Instead, when it was my turn, I asked him: "Can I see your hands?" He grinned ear to ear, held them out, and I held them in mine. I was holding history in my hands. Unforgettable.
You know there's some serious music going on when you can make Gilmour move. :) This video makes me smile every time I watch it. Two greats. Thumbs way up.
Awesome vid - a guy as amazing as David Gilmour dwarfed by the nuance of the king on Lucille - this is when you see what it really takes to be a great blues man - total humility, skill and above all heart - love you BB - love you DG… would have been humbling experience I'm sure.
Apparently bb king once said to gilmour whilst he was jamming some blues "you sure you ain't from Memphis?" Its something like that I'm kind of paraphrasing
WHAT A CLIP. NEVER EVER SEEN ÒR HEARD THAT. DAVE GILMOUR CAN PLAY THE BLUES AND ANYTHING YOU LIKE AS HERE WITH THE LEGEND B B. KING AND STILL RETAIN OWN UNIQUE STYLE. FANTASTIC ALONG WITH GREAT SUPPORT FROM JOOLS HOLLAND THE BAND.
At this point, you aren't a real guitarist until you jammed with BB King, because damn, this man jammed with almost every legend of the guitar: David Gilmour, Slash, John Mayer, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Albert Collins, Eric Clapton, Chuck Berry, Keith Richards, and the list goes on. Truly a big loss as for the blues, as for the world.
I think this really shows David's modesty. He's having a good time just doing what he loves, being part of the band. If he had the rock star ego, it would have been effortless for him to send Bebe home in tears....
Well yeah probably I'm not quite respectful with the blues history by saying that. But I have heard that lick hundreds of times in hands of David Gilmour and every time I hear the first thing that pops into my mind is "GILMOUR", although I was practically sure he did not invent that hah. Thanks for the info.
Tom Coffin Led Zeppelin, Van Halen, Queen, Dare Straits, Quiet Riot "but only with Randy Rhoads," Dokken, Deep Purple, ecc.ecc.all with valid Groups Guitarists, but body hair Who makes me straighten is just Gilmour! .
So True!!! But anybody who doesn't Move to music like that Has to be deaf or something--Ya just Gotta MOVE to da GROOVE :o) This was So Awesome--Loved it a LOT!!! Thank You for Posting!!!
@shikibuton Definitivamente estoy de acuerdo con todo y que bien le vá hacer esto, a lo que me refiero es que el blues es un tipo de musica con toques de comicidad y baile, cosa que es raro que David Guilmour haga en un escenario cuando normalmente su persona refleja la frialdad de las letras de las canciones de Pink Floyd. Saludos
These kind of lyrics were around decades before the Who were in Potty training .DG avoided bending up to the 6th which is a BB king lick !. You don't want to start that kind of copy cat stuff ;-P
I have wondered for a Long time why David Gilmour makes the faces he does while playing a solo--he is SO Handsome, but Man can he make some goofy faces--Drummers Always make goofy faces, but I never noticed a guitarist...till now. BB makes faces too :o) I think they just FEEL the Music So Much that they "sing the notes" in their minds. Any comments on this?? Ibtw, I haven't noticed DG's faces on Early floyd--must go check again--dirty job, but Somebody has to do it LOL
Peter Green, Jimi Hendrix, Wes Montgomery , Robin Trower , Frank Zappa , Jerry Garcia, Clarence White and many more all have or had a decent guitar tone/ sound.
@raulnieblas no entiendo porque deberia versele raro a Gilmour tocando blues si las escalas que usa en los temas de Floyd son pentatónicas, las mismas del blues. En sus inicios con Joker's Wild tocaban covers de rock n' roll que es una pequeña evolucion del blues. Gilmour ha mencionado varias veces sus influencias entre ellas el blues... Para mi es algo sublime ver a estos dos MAESTROS de la guitarra tocando juntos.
BB King has always admit by himself he only plays solo because he's unable to sing and play rhythm guitar at the same time. What a shame for such a star ! Anybody can do it but he worked in cotton fields, suffered and lived so sad stories the people say he's a true bluesman who gets the soul. Fucking business ! Who's able to discribe what a true bluesman and the soul are ? Nobody, these are just legends ! Sorry.
And we see these punks nowadays throwing all sorts of tantrums.. I mean this guy is a fuckin Legend... Shows how humble he is.. Very lucky u are to have met him in person :)

No pressure Dave, no pressure....
This arrangement Is an out cold blues song. The band is rocking it especially the horn section. Mr King RIP and Mr Gilmore are phenomenal.
You know there's some serious music going on when you can make Gilmour move. :) This video makes me smile every time I watch it. Two greats. Thumbs way up.
two legends playin their hearts out...cant get any better than this. David Gilmour is tha man!!! and so is BB king!
King, Gilmour, so good... Soft touches, giving a note time to breathe...
One of these men started the book on truly playing the electric guitar, the other one finished it.
Gilmour is one great among many greats, so... nah.

@@oliverharket5049 Gilmour's playing was as nuanced and tasteful as B.B. King's. He really speaks the language.
David Gilmours guitar playing works better in that context than I would dream it.
Yes, he is truly a blues man!
two kings together!
Wspaniały duet ,kocham taki blues
i dont know if they are the best ever, but they are the most respected guitarists of all time
WHAT A CLIP. NEVER EVER SEEN ÒR HEARD THAT. DAVE GILMOUR CAN PLAY THE BLUES AND ANYTHING YOU LIKE AS HERE WITH THE LEGEND B B. KING AND STILL RETAIN OWN UNIQUE STYLE. FANTASTIC ALONG WITH GREAT SUPPORT FROM JOOLS HOLLAND THE BAND.

That a kick ass band. Horn section is out sight, brilliant performances by Mr King and Mr Gilmore. This is Blues on steroids.
David Gilmour & BB King covering Sonny Boy Williamson II! Pete & Eric & many, many others covered him too.
Nothing but the best 🎸🎸🎼🎹🎶
The 3rd guitarrist has the happiest face ever 2:23
He's playing with two of the greatest guitarists of all time.
He is living a dream.
David Gilmour, the master
BB King and David Gilmour, uma mistura mais que perfeita
2:34 BB mouths "Damn" at Gilmours solo. Awwwww!
BB to Gilmour: "You sure you wasn't born in Mississippi boy?" XD
lets give some love to the band too and the drummer , solid and groovy fat and tasteful sound
With the great Dave Swift on bass!
Fantastic legends, love it! BB K has soul in his finger tips.

He's like third best on that stage.
I love that tenor player in the back holding his horn sideways like Lester Young!
Duas lendas do rock/blues
is as usual amazing wonderfull.
Man, could you imagine getting to play on that stage, with those giants?
They really should have released this. Two legends together and an epic song.
epic blues with two legends !!!
The guy is an absolute gentleman. God bless him :)
Giants playing! R.ip B.b King!
The Mose Allison song he was referring to was young man blues. Im sure Mose did a cover of eyesight to the blind.
R.I.P. B.B. King. Your legend will live on.
Unbelievable. The stars aligned for you that day.

I would say B.B. King is teaching Gilmour a blues lesson.
there is just One king ..oh yeah David Gilmour...
It takes a man like B.B king to changa a Who lyrics and we all find it nice. He is a monster
These kind of lyrics were around decades before the Who were in Potty training .DG avoided bending up to the 6th which is a BB king lick !. You don't want to start that kind of copy cat stuff ;-P
Sweet 👍🏻
In the best versions of the best Blues tracks... There's Jools Holland.
DB AND BBKING!!!!!!!
Just enjoy..... !!!!!!!!!!!!!
5 Bieber and Swift fans...dont get THE BLUES
that thing that david does at 2:51 ... i fucking love that sound.
I have wondered for a Long time why David Gilmour makes the faces he does while playing a solo--he is SO Handsome, but Man can he make some goofy faces--Drummers Always make goofy faces, but I never noticed a guitarist...till now.

Nobody has better guitar tone than David Gilmour!
Peter Green, Jimi Hendrix, Wes Montgomery , Robin Trower , Frank Zappa , Jerry Garcia, Clarence White and many more all have or had a decent guitar tone/ sound.
Great
Big Thanks to Jools Holland for making it all possible!!!!!

Nice.
