@@sirmoanalot3779 fair comment, you've got guitarists there in the world to 100 ever... Mick isn't even in the top 5000, not even in the top 100 from Denton, Manchester
Slash was so restrained, so respectful. BB was, and always will be, one of the greatest of the greatest. I saw him twice within a year, during his final days, but I missed THIS show. What a moment!
Probably lost some respect for him then. You wanna see the best rendition of this? BB king and gary moore, 1992 london. It's almost perfect call and responce, smooth, beautiful. Neither hold back.
@@CrashHeadroom AGREED! This was sloppily done! I think Slash was afraid to let Derek take off on one of his solos. Ron Wood is nowhere near as skilled as these guys!
there's a content here that posted a long ago.. that slash was a guest in bb kings concert.. and slash was young maybe at gnr days.. playing rock me baby.. sadly i can't find that content😔
Ronnie never gets talked about enough. Amazing guitar playing, but he gets overshadowed by Keith Richards and his stuff always got a bit buried in the mix of their songs. Start Me Up is a good example. Try to find an isolated track or a cover of Ronnie's playing in that song.
ronnie carried this 100%!! bb phoned it in, slash as another commentator said, "so restrained, so respectful", but not the performance i was expecting!
My wife (RIP) booked B.B.'s daughter Shirley King for a New Years Eve show in Muncie Indiana at Pub she worked at in town. B.B. was playing the same night at Ball State University at a show earlier in the day. we picked up Shirley and her band in our mini van and Shirley said "you all want to meet my Daddy?"ummm….YES! met him at the Hotel in town right before he headed for the venue and he asked me and my wife if we were going to his show. we said no, we had not bought tickets and it was sold out. as I was fanboying over one of my heroes B.B. said " well, you are my guests tonight, come on." we followed him to Emens Auditorium on campus and he let us sit backstage and watch the show. I also got to meet Bobby Bland who opened for him. B.B. was one of the nicest men to ever walk the planet. His daughter Shirley is one of the sweetest ladies you will ever meet. God Bless the King family for giving me and my wife one of the greatest nights of our life.
My wife got to be on stage right as an deaf interpreter for his bayfest concert and afterwards he hugged her neck and said thank you so much and saw her looking at his lapel pin and reached in his pocket and handed her one . What a man, !!!!!!! His music will be timeless, I jus feel sorry for those that never saw him alive, he was the KING of the BLUES
Mick and Susan's voices complement BBs so well. The shared guitar playing between Derek, Susan, Ronny and Slash are outstanding, but the most under-rated part of this, is the bass player holding it all in line as the song progresses.
I'm so disappointed that Susan Tedeschi didn't get more popular. When I heard her for the first time, Bonnie Raitt had finally got popular to the masses. I then thought with her style on "Rock Me Right" and others she would explode. Unfortunately, she didn't.
I was actually there at the Royal Albert Hall. Absolutely blessed and priviledged to see so much talent, and to witness the legend that was "BB King" 💖
My name is Andy Okus. I been playing pro sax, guitar, bass, and piano over 45 years now. I met Mr. B.B. King when I was only 14 years old in 1971 at " Pirate's World " in Hollywood Florida. He was the kindest, most humble gentleman I ever met. He treated me; a little kid who knew one blues lick on the Alto sax like I was a millionaire or something. He was such a totally selfless human being. I hung out with his sax section after the show. They we're just as kind and giving as B.B. was. I mean they treated me like I was damn Charlie Parker. We just chilled and talked about playing different saxes. The mood and the vibe of this clip is a representative of the highest and finest respect that is shown among " Real " musical artists. The horn section were actually playing the hottest of anyone up there. In closing I remember hearing an old B.B. King 45 record from 1954 when I was only 13. That record was the rawest most firey playing I've ever heard from B.B. !! This was before he ever added horns. If y'all can find any of his beginning stuff from the early 50's you're in for a real pleasant shock! God Bless B.B. King forever and ever! The REAL KING OF THE BLUES!!!!
I also met B.B. at that same time. He was staying at the Holliday Inn in Coral Gables on US-1, standing on the balcony talking to a few of us kids, we were playing ball at the park across the street and figured out who he was, I also was 14 at that time and loved music my whole life, playing for awhile but always listening to tons of different music, well just one kind really, the good kind. Loved your story, especially since we are the same age from the same town, Pirates World had great concerts back then, just as all the free concerts put on at the U of Miami that I could hear from my bedroom if the window was open. If I told anyone the acts the U put on there free to students (and kids that snuck in) they would think I was making it all up, but nope it was the real deal back then and Miami had lot's of great acts back then but you had to have a friend working at the record store to hear about them and get good tickets. Cheers,
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
@@fromunderthekilt6310 it was in 2011. The venue was The Royal Albert Hall in London. It was London Blues week (or a similar title) BB just kept saying ‘I got a lot of friends in town) and kept announcing new people who were going to join him on stage. Totally unexpected we only went there see BB, as I figured it would be one of the last chances I would get. Magical night. And we had pretty good seats too 😀. BB was around 85 then.
Damn that is crazy. I’m glad you got to see that man, sounded and looked like a truly memorable once in a lifetime gig. Better than the shite we have today that charges four times that!!! Amazing! @@spookysilver
@@fromunderthekilt6310 yes we knew it was special when we were sat there. Going to concerts has seemed to get exponentially more expensive since mid 2010. I still keep going to see the ones I really like - when I can get tickets of course, which also seems to have got a lot harder
I met him in the basement of Yokohama Arena when he was playing with U2. I was waiting for security to let me in, and he walked down this corridor. As he passed me, I had to say something, despite being hugely shy. I blustered "I really respect your music, Mr King". He said "Thank you, young man". I thought, God, you can take me now!
Wow, where were those performances? I saw in different venues Willie Dixon and another time Howlin' Wolf, which was the worst "show" I ever saw. Man, if I only knew what he was going through with cancer and subsequent costs, I could just shut up.
@@dustinwallace of course he can share the stage. The king is unique and so is Slash buddy. Do you think this was not consulted to him previously? Come on. He is a star on his own right.
In 2013, I took my 80+ year old Aunt to see B.B. King in Dallas. So glad that I did!! Now, both My Aunt and B.B. King have passed away!!! Seize The Moment!! While there is still time!!!
I love how the blues gets down under your skin and you feel the music, your body responds to it instead of just using your ears to listen. Great music. 💕⚡📀
I was at this gig, 4th row (I couldn't believe my luck). It was amazing. You could tell Slash was very humbled to be there. As would any guitarist. It's BB King.
@@davidmcaninch4714 Same. He was talked about so much in my house growing up and with such respect that he'll always be like this mythical almost Jesus like figure in my mind.
Just outside of Sturgis, Michigan soon after B.B.s death, a very awesome person bought billboard space and put B.B. on it with a short message: "Thank you for the music, B.B."
I was 17 (it was 1969), heared B.B.'s "The Thrill is gone", first time.... Took my bike, To the Disc-shop Had not enough money Got my LP under condition: pay next week the rest. I did. Now, some years later, I still love it so much to hear 'His Master B.B." !!!
I got to meet B.B. once. It was like a Catholic getting to meet the Pope. An amazing man. Most do not know how much time he devoted to encouraging young blues artists. He wanted to make sure this music did not die.
My father passed away from cancer 2 days before BB King was in concert in Albuquerque in 2010. I listen to this song and shed a few tears for my father and BB King. R.I.P. Dad and BB.
My friend, be proud to relive this good moment and remember your father with joy, alright! I'm Brazilian, although I do not know you, I appreciate my feelings.
Meu amigo, tenha orgulho de reviver esse bom momento e lembre-se do seu pai com alegria, tudo bem! Sou brasileira, embora não conheça você, agradeço meus sentimentos.
Wow haci es la vida yo todavia lo tengo y ni nos ablamos ya que la cosa se fue como papa valio madre y hoy en dia vivo solo y aqui en California. Tengo mi casa aqui como 5 minutos adisney y no temgo familia el unico que se apiada de mi es el creador de vida humana padre Yahweh
The biggest heart in blues. Saw him live in Halifax. A kind soul with lots of self-effacing humor. I know everyone in that room felt like he was talking directly to them. I still smile at his live concert videos
Once you get recognition for your music and make it big,their must be nothing better than going through your own personal hero's to jam with them. You can clearly see the love ❤️
Meu marido não se encontra mas entre nós infelizmente.. Ele me apresentou esses músicos extraordinário um espetáculo maravilhosos e o bib bib king pqp 👏 fantástico único....canta PRÁ CARAMBA...fico muito emocionada parece meu amor está comigo ao lado vendo esse show....... Aqui MARÍLIA VARZIM araruama RJ 28/07/2022
arguably The greatest song ever made in which the guitar is doing most of the singing. The scales allows you to actually feel the songwriter's emotions in making the song. Thank you for this amazing craftmanship, 🤴🏿
I was truly blessed to see him twice, class personified, told a story in his rocking chair then played a song. I grew up ripping metal on my guitar, but I swear bb king and buddy guy tapped me into the blues that is in my soul God bless you mr king Never forgotten
BB was a great musician from down home. He knew about hard times and had a great work ethic. He didn’t allow people to use profanity in his presence. No weed smoking around him at no time. I learn this many years ago a wonderful human being
The original Thrill Is Gone, his "hit" -is the greatest piece of music ever recorded. Yet one time I drove 2 hours to a BB King concert just to hear Susan Tedeschi play. Another time I was at a big Blues festival in Reno and I wasn't playing much attention to the people who were playing, but then I heard this one note. I was electrified. The King had started his set..
People think BB King could only play about 4 notes, but that's all the man needed. I love the way he grabs the mic in this knowing he's got killer vocal chops to go with those "4" notes too. 👌🏻 What a legend. RIP.
Somehow the best part of this video for me isn't the music, it's the fact King really enjoys being on stage with a bunch of other good musicians. It's like the stage is where he belonged in life, and he knew that better than anyone else.
Shows like this can never happen again ….as our icons…hero’s …and gods of music ….slowly disappear from our lives …..the music from yesterday …will continue as the music in the future…..
Oh my God I can't tell you how many times I've watched this video since yesterday when I found it .and I forwarded to anyone I can think of. if they could Bottle b.b. King vibe and pass it around for free the world would be a happier place
My favorite song for him, it was good to see Ron Wood come along with Slash... Mick Hucknall and a cast of great players along with b.b. King before he passed away
Puré gold! DIAMOND 2022 What a line up! OMG 😱. Lucky, priviledge all these Who were there to witness this moment: Susan, red Mick Hucknall, Ron wood, Slash, Derek and the super blues KING BB KING saw him in New Orleans. 90s ❤❤❤ GOOSEBUMPS, Masterful
I tell you man, there's a shit load of talent on that stage. But I have yet to see anyone make a guitar sing like BB could. Saw a show with him and Buddy Guy just before he died, and he spent a lot of time talking to the crowd instead of playing. You could tell it was almost over for him, but when he was playing Lucille that night, It cut through all of the other instruments, Buddy stepped back and watched with this... contented look on his face I'll never forget, and I swear that was one of the most magical things I'd heard from a stage. My only regret is that I wasn't able to see him earlier in life during his prime.
I noticed slash's tone here was rather mellow, he's very respectful not just as a person but as a musician! He's not trying to stand out here, which just gives me more respect for slash
An American treasure right there! I remember clearly as a 13 year old boy loving rock music & hair bands in the 80's until one day my big sister snuck me out late one night & took me to hart plaza in Detroit where I witnessed my very first concert/blues festival where BB was the headliner. My life changed that day & the rest is history. Thank you sis!❤❤❤
so glad I got to see BB on his farewell tour, I'm going to miss you every day. But your music will stay with me forever. You know I don't think he ever realised how much people loved him.
I had the privilege to see BB King live about 10 years ago. Such an amazing time for me to see this icon perform. I was almost in tears when when he started to play “The Thrill is Gone”.
When BB King says would you like to be my guest you just show up,sit the fuck down and do as your told. This is the masters world,your just along for the ride. RIP BB..thanks for the memories and the music.

literally had the blues in his veins

I grew up with the Delta Blues.
I'm almost 81.
I have been blessed.

to a startling degree, considering the difference in genre between them
Well not actually a huge difference in genre. Rock comes from blues, and if you're a really legit rock player you should have your blues chops down.

jamesblond516 If you can't hear the blues influence in GnR, you haven't really listened to them.

I can’t even count how many times I’ve heard this…10,000? Maybe. And the thrill is NOT gone. 😂👍🏻❤️
I had the honor of seeing B.B King twice and never have I seen such talent and class on one stage!!!
I got to meet B.B. once. It was like a Catholic getting to meet the Pope. An amazing man. Most do not know how much time he devoted to encouraging young blues artists. He wanted to make sure this music did not die.
Music will never die. B.B. King was a legend. I just feel bad I never got to see him play live.
I also met him once, at Montreux. Kind, polite, modest, humble... a perfect gentleman.

Like a catholic meeting the pope without the fear of getting their subsequent sexual abuse covered up.
this is reali amazing
When the King sings his facial expressions are as if he was telling a story to his grandkids. Love it.
So glad I got to see BB King once in my life. One of the best showman I’ve ever seen. A blessedly talented man. RIP.
I got the opportunity in Birmingham Al. At city stages downtown. Several times. The Democrats in the city robbed it stupid, and that thrill was gone.
I got the opportunity three times. Memorable experiences!
I got to see him when I was around 11-12 years old, wish I could’ve got to see him again when I got older 🤦♂️
BB is such a talented gentleman
My father passed away from cancer 2 days before BB King was in concert in Albuquerque in 2010. I listen to this song and shed a few tears for my father and BB King. R.I.P. Dad and BB.
Sorry to hear that. Songs can def do that for sure:(
My friend, be proud to relive this good moment and remember your father with joy, alright! I'm Brazilian, although I do not know you, I appreciate my feelings.
Meu amigo, tenha orgulho de reviver esse bom momento e lembre-se do seu pai com alegria, tudo bem! Sou brasileira, embora não conheça você, agradeço meus sentimentos.
RIP
Wow haci es la vida yo todavia lo tengo y ni nos ablamos ya que la cosa se fue como papa valio madre y hoy en dia vivo solo y aqui en California. Tengo mi casa aqui como 5 minutos adisney y no temgo familia el unico que se apiada de mi es el creador de vida humana padre Yahweh
So awesome to see these guys jam. On a side note that bass player needs more recognition keepin that groove
The wonderful people that had to witness this performance are truly a blessed bunch.
BB King is cheerful and happy no matter what, true legend ❤️
King dancing in slash's hat, absolutely legendary moment.
Any person can only be so lucky as BB, to peacefully go out doing what they loved for so long.
The thrill never really left.
If you die in your sins and spend eternity without God no temporary worldly possession can save you.
the biggest hoax in history god
Ben Bond God bless B.B. soul in Heaven!
CrazyhorseDK exactly there's no god
Real Musicians!! Something I won’t see in my lifetime again.
Bb didn't want to stop playing with slash 🥺🥺🥺🥺 Beautiful moment 🥰🥰🥰🥰
crazy how he has almost the same voice in his old age. What a talent.
I love Slash and BB's friendship, seeing him put his hat on BB was awesome!
Slash never takes off his hat for anyone other than the king
I just love derek his playing something about a slide just hits different
The biggest heart in blues. Saw him live in Halifax. A kind soul with lots of self-effacing humor. I know everyone in that room felt like he was talking directly to them. I still smile at his live concert videos
Respect
Once you get recognition for your music and make it big,their must be nothing better than going through your own personal hero's to jam with them.
You can clearly see the love ❤️
And the RESPECT MY FRIEND
Meu marido não se encontra mas entre nós infelizmente..
Ele me apresentou esses músicos extraordinário um espetáculo maravilhosos e o bib bib king pqp 👏 fantástico único....canta PRÁ CARAMBA...fico muito emocionada parece meu amor está comigo ao lado vendo esse show.......

arguably The greatest song ever made in which the guitar is doing most of the singing. The scales allows you to actually feel the songwriter's emotions in making the song. Thank you for this amazing craftmanship, 🤴🏿
It’s just a regular 12 bar blues
@@mayuva ummm no
This and J Blackfoot's "Taxi" for sure!
I was fortunate enough to see B.B. live 4 times. While I get your point, and you're right, he plays it a bit different each time.
I was truly blessed to see him twice, class personified, told a story in his rocking chair then played a song. I grew up ripping metal on my guitar, but I swear bb king and buddy guy tapped me into the blues that is in my soul
God bless you mr king
Never forgotten
BB was an amazing musician and the greatest ambassador for the blues genre.
BB was a great musician from down home. He knew about hard times and had a great work ethic. He didn’t allow people to use profanity in his presence. No weed smoking around him at no time. I learn this many years ago a wonderful human being
Man, that man performs as if he is standing on the whole stage ❤
B.B. passes his legacy to all who can grab it. Loving their creativity and individuality, he asks "Just play one more?" He has planted the seed. 💙💕
The original Thrill Is Gone, his "hit" -is the greatest piece of music ever recorded. Yet one time I drove 2 hours to a BB King concert just to hear Susan Tedeschi play.
Another time I was at a big Blues festival in Reno and I wasn't playing much attention to the people who were playing, but then I heard this one note. I was electrified. The King had started his set..
Only blues shows I've been to that came close was Dr. John, Bo Diddly, and Buddy Guy.
@@sueyyness3642 I got to see BB with Buddy Guy!
Good times!
☮️💜
Only wish I could've seen Stevie too!
People think BB King could only play about 4 notes, but that's all the man needed. I love the way he grabs the mic in this knowing he's got killer vocal chops to go with those "4" notes too. 👌🏻 What a legend. RIP.
Absolutely. He didn't need to play much, because it wasn't just the notes. It was the tone, the soul that he poured into each one.

"Killer vocal chops" indeed. The way he goes into raspy and shouts at different times is even better than his guitar imho
That man could do more with 4 notes than most musicians today could do with 10000.
I am one of a few that can say I seen the GREAT BB KING in concert. When I die I will get to see him once more. BB KING is still the KING
How honoured did Slash feel to able to do this? Amazing moment for Slash.. And didnt go overboard. It was bout BB KING. Total respect. 🧡
Somehow the best part of this video for me isn't the music, it's the fact King really enjoys being on stage with a bunch of other good musicians. It's like the stage is where he belonged in life, and he knew that better than anyone else.
I love all the respect they're givin this man. What a good guy. RIP BB.
Shows like this can never happen again ….as our icons…hero’s …and gods of music ….slowly disappear from our lives …..the music from yesterday …will continue as the music in the future…..
What an honor for Slash, he’s a consummate performer and a true talent.
It’s amazing how one man could pull all the best blues players together and make it work. BB King your missed.
There is never too much guitar. Love them all.
I’m still gittin’ a CHILL from this THRILL! It ain’t gone!🥰❤️❤️❤️🌹❤️❤️❤️
R.I.P. Dear BB 🕊🥀🕊
Absolutely love how BB has so much joy and fun with anyone and everyone as long as they like music
Bless his soul. RIP B.B. King 🙏🏼 How lucky are those artists to have been around you ❤️ Very humble and kind of you
B.B. King: The Godfather of Blues. I'm glad that I'm still alive and see him playing guitar.
Best thing on here is the bass playing - love the little runs and fills, makes the song for me.
Oh my God I can't tell you how many times I've watched this video since yesterday when I found it .and I forwarded to anyone I can think of. if they could Bottle b.b. King vibe and pass it around for free the world would be a happier place
So epic. I am so grateful to have attended one of BB’s last performances.
MUCH RESPECT LUCKY YOU
2:31 best sign of respect i could ever see one legend due for another.
My favorite song for him, it was good to see Ron Wood come along with Slash... Mick Hucknall and a cast of great players along with b.b. King before he passed away
Puré gold! DIAMOND 2022 What a line up! OMG 😱. Lucky, priviledge all these Who were there to witness this moment: Susan, red Mick Hucknall, Ron wood, Slash, Derek and the super blues KING BB KING saw him in New Orleans. 90s ❤❤❤ GOOSEBUMPS, Masterful
I tell you man, there's a shit load of talent on that stage. But I have yet to see anyone make a guitar sing like BB could. Saw a show with him and Buddy Guy just before he died, and he spent a lot of time talking to the crowd instead of playing. You could tell it was almost over for him, but when he was playing Lucille that night, It cut through all of the other instruments, Buddy stepped back and watched with this... contented look on his face I'll never forget, and I swear that was one of the most magical things I'd heard from a stage. My only regret is that I wasn't able to see him earlier in life during his prime.
Slash showed proper restraint, and kept in pocket. His playing was great! Mr. Trucks on that slide tho…. My God that guy is awesome!
Well when you are playing next to BB King and Ronnie Wood it's probably best to hang back.
Why did he show restraint, he should've let it rip and shred
@@vonStalhein2 because there was more guitarists than just slash… showsrespect to everyone else
The fun began after Derek Trucks did his 'thing'.
Slash was playing with a LEGEND he know that and respectful to the King 👑👑👑
I noticed slash's tone here was rather mellow, he's very respectful not just as a person but as a musician! He's not trying to stand out here, which just gives me more respect for slash
B B so silly. Just having a blast. Super dope
An American treasure right there! I remember clearly as a 13 year old boy loving rock music & hair bands in the 80's until one day my big sister snuck me out late one night & took me to hart plaza in Detroit where I witnessed my very first concert/blues festival where BB was the headliner. My life changed that day & the rest is history. Thank you sis!❤❤❤
BB - what humility. What joy he experienced and expressed. Sorely, sorely missed.
Go ahead Bb the King. One of the only black men to see his work appreciated and make it out of life with a great reputation and respect.
so glad I got to see BB on his farewell tour, I'm going to miss you every day. But your music will stay with me forever. You know I don't think he ever realised how much people loved him.
Anyone here listening to BB sing in the last half missed the best guitar shit ever! Thank you Ron, and Derek, and Susan!
I had the privilege to see BB King live about 10 years ago. Such an amazing time for me to see this icon perform. I was almost in tears when when he started to play “The Thrill is Gone”.
When BB King says would you like to be my guest you just show up,sit the fuck down and do as your told. This is the masters world,your just along for the ride. RIP BB..thanks for the memories and the music.
Clicked on this for BB and Slash
Surprisingly got some extra Trucks and Tedeschi. Must have been a fantastic show.
