[Ckazlas1]

@deltaomegaable He's going to be at the House of Blues in March in Chicago. My boyfriend got us tickets instead of having Valentines Day this year :)

[JingleStar11000]

"in 2012, there was only" SKIP

[Paulo74588]

esse cara é d +

um dos melhores guitar players

[baionetabarbosa]

Este homem é uma instituição!!!

[letsgoblues96]

I'd give anything to see a bb king show and shake the mans hand, hard to do when you live in sweden...

[Krutponken]

@letsgoblues96 Indeed, meeting Mr. B.B before he goes away would be one of the greatest moments in my life. But like you, I live in Sweden, so it's a problem.

[jaimepalmas]

Lo maximo....mi pata pe

[FashKaz]

I envy the lucky bastard who catch B.B's guitar pick at the end ! !

[saul8520]

the song going to my hearth



[ozboomer]

Supreme dynamics... and note the s p a c e between the notes in the solos. *Joy*

@Mexican9115 - looks and sounds like C Minor here... which is unusual, as he frequently plays it in B Minor.

[Th3S0undH0und]

155 people has never been in love

[CannibalDethBear]

155 DIS-likes?!

[beanzyred]

@CannibalDethBear Just a fact of life Bear, for every 17,000 there are 155 wankers,

[Mexican9115]

he playing it on the B Minor? or A?

[Chernika24]

великии человек!!!!!

[RR5GUITAR]

Drill is gone

[godoffood2]

*looks at hands* Why can't you do that? >.>

[SC0OBYSN4XX]

@godoffood2 ever practiced guitar? try it. As long you give it a chance, you will not regret it.

[godoffood2]

@SC0OBYSN4XX Yes lol I've been playing for 6 years. I've been practicing in B.B. Kings style for about 3 lol. Thanks i will keep trying

[Hlotar]

@godoffood2 Practicing King is useless, you'll never sound like him... Try Clapton or Jimi... It will help you to get your own unique style.

[Th3S0undH0und]

Best music to have on while you restring a guitar!

[GoodDoseOfRock]

Gotta love Cee-Lo Green. He is looking pretty young there. Good to see he has kept his career going so long.

[Th3S0undH0und]

@GoodDoseOfRock

plz say you are joking?

[GoodDoseOfRock]

@Th3S0undH0und Frape.



[strahinjabubreg]

Blues is easy to play,but hard to feel.

[oshopelolais]

i fucking love this man!!!!

[dnawood87]

just saw him tonight in columbus, ga....he's 86 years old and still has it....he wailed!

[PKaisala]

This is SO beautiful , I'm 18 and really proud of having been born in 1993.

Some people are criticizing the modern music , I would agree with some that the music nowadays is not awesome as the music that B.B. King is playing , but real music will never die as long as we keep listening to it.

Wishing all you blues lover an amazing year 2012 and to enjoy this wonderful song !

[reginalawns]

@PKaisala couldnt have said it better

[hamneggs1]

@PKaisala More of a Muddy Waters guy myself, but B.B. King has passion when he plays. It has heat behind it, raw talent and it pulls at one's heart strings. People born in 93, like you and me, are the last generation from the 20th century that got to witness these musicians. Consider yourself a lucky person.

[alexbandas]

Exceptionnel

[alexbandas]

The god

[dcteck]

4:10 epic face!

[Th3S0undH0und]

That lucky fuck got a god guitar pick!

[theseventhson95]

[NuMetal21guitar]

[xkaosurbanoxwar]

154 persons do not have ears or 154 justin beabers listened to this..............

[hafrox]

B.B. King has the warmest and most memorable guitar tone, I've ever heard.

[slashbcrich]

154 peoples thrill is gone...

[darichozz]

[IamValdemaster]

This is ART ...

[mreed91]

Apparently the thrill is gone. I'm glad he told me. I had no idea.

[48DLW]

Awesome musician! Can't say it enough!

[MrBorjaVS]

[TheFausto12345]

lo maximo

[wesah32]

[TheWoud]

[clickteutel]

Damn what a good music!! grtz from Holland

[dontstopbeingwack]

steps to get ultimate peace of mind

1 put bb king on

2 put headphones on

3 search youtube for 'virtual thunderstorm'

4 play bb king and virtual thunderstorm at the same time

its amazing

[Th3S0undH0und]

You know shit is gunna get real when the king stands up!

[lungbernd]

fantastic ! ! this feelings he can transport. unbelievable !

[andrewm9999]

hard to believe this is from 1993

[LeighRaeKnights]

OMG!!! This man is truly an Icon.. I grew up on the blues with my mom listening to BB King, Bobby Blue Bland, Little Johnny Taylor and the rest an I have never forgotten that feeling when I heard Lucille. Takes me back to when things were much simpler.

[wobbelll]

BAM! 

[germanpower67]

king for ever

[tsvc2010]

Going to see Riley "Blues Boy" King this year in May! 

[Nuxterida11]

Μαύρο πολύτιμο διαμάντι !!!!!!!

[MiseryFields]

Man...I grew up listening to and playing heavy metal and thrash and all of those dirty things and even I appreciate those subtle intricacies you can find at any given moment in this. It's impossible to not love this man and Lucille.

[hanekamhoofd]

When BB King stands up, you know shit is about to get real!

[vaporkillz1]

who ever got that guitar pick is one lucky mother fucker

[alexm00nchild]

06:02 06:20 AMIN !!!

[fguka]

i saw him live here in miami a few days ago. i sat third row. he kept making eye contact with me and my friend. after the show we both jumped up to the front row and got to shake his hand and he gave us each bb king pins. my life will never be the same

[lungbernd]

@fguka I think I can live without these bb king pins. But this concert must have been very impressing for you ! !

[fguka]

@lungbernd lol i don't really care about pins either but the fact that it was handed personally to me and my buddy from the king himself, makes it a couple of pretty special pins

[kirmizibaslikiz]

He is great! finding and appreciating good music nowadays is as hard as finding the right soul mate....

[62Vax]

Lucille is hot !

[adakar83]

the only man that can sing SIDEWAYS :-)

[Fogplayer]

He looks what he feels

[rgouette]

I love his voice

[alexced20]

f****** awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(Y)

[TheSyu1103]

私は子供の国でのライブを忘れない



[misipaulo1]

Classic!!

Good music!

[maliko100109]

3:20.. Sex........

[NickTheAwesomeShark]

He's an amazing guitarist. Wish I could play that good.

[gboch81]

I almost tear up when I here him play I my only be 30 but I feel the blues more young bucks need to here this music god

[americanryan]

@gboch81 I agree, but the lack of appreciation from the young folks comes from not being grown up and having experienced any major life struggles/blues yet. In time...

[holmfridurha]

I wish I could like this twice

[bboydoraa]

esta es musica del corazon!, musica del alma!

Blues is life!

[tom2tas]

He's singing for himself

[LinuxLinense]

He really enjoys; so do we.

[TimBrewin]

Big respect to the best guitarist in the World - I include Knopfler & Clapton in that.

[Mrhollis80sbaby]

I have to say this has inspired me to want learn how to play

[Sagiquarium]

I love his guitar faces.

[TheITALIANJRZYGUYNNJ]

TOO BAD TODAYS MUSIC WILL NEVER BE LIKE HOW IT WAS RIGHT HERE! THE MUSIC PRODUCERS DONT CARE ANYMORE AND AS LONG AS ITS DIRTY THATS ALL THAT MATTERS TODAYS GENERATION..ITS A SHAME WE WONT HAVE MUSIC LIKE THIS ANYMORE..OR EVEN CLASSIC ROCK...

[johnny2lean]

THE KING!!

[ayayayify]

he is awesome live

[Dalsir1]

My aching head is getting better. Happy new year dudes !

[goodresonance]

Has the thrill gone?

[kingdomjames1]

b.b king nice



[djhero0071]

Him,stevie,and santana are the most soulful players i've ever heard.also jimi

[Ikeruga]

I love how softly and carefully he plays the strings... gives the music so much more expression than other blues artists.

[vast8625]

Великий старикан!

[Francisavh]

SUPERBE JE NE M'EN LASSE PAS, I LOVE THAT!!

[TKMDRK]

he plays what he feels

[MsJaxxee]

@TKMDRK

Yes, he most definitely plays what he feels, but he also feels what he plays. This is why he's so good at what he does.

[mashui99]

147 people i hope i never meet

[MrJazzman78190]

il peut pas se taire l'autre avec son bontempi de merde !!

[qvinnan09]

One off the best versions I heard here so far.... I saw him live ca 30 years ago in Sweden..... Yeah that was a super performence.....Now he is quiet old but still playing live.... and King off Blues for me anyway....

[ThePyChris]

This is why I feel they need to remove the dislike button from these types of websites. The only reason you can dislike this is if you hate music.

[castelrose]

just sit back and listen to one of the real superstars of our time !!

Not one who bat 300 :( 7 out of 10 out :) BB we love u :) Genesis , legend , superstar ????

[rachelbunny747]

wow! hes from my town ! still has a son & grandson & great grandson that lives there ! Thanks BB for your great music & wow! your family !!

[DMPblk]

at 17 years old, i'd rather listen to this than rap/hip-hop/this new thing called "dubstep" ANYDAY this man is truly gifted, God Bless and GO ON BB !!!!!

[SharpWalkers]

@DMPblk Good for you.. Anyway, coming from a 19 year old student of Music Composition, Music in Media & Classical Music, Dubstep can be pretty awesome. It's pretty ingenius in it's arrhythmically, and a deserves a lot better than to be listet in a degenarative way like that. Every style of music has it's merits, if you open your mind for it.

[rad2k7]

god damn why does he have to stop when we all know theres an epic jam waiting to come out! such a fucking tease

[Kamil0c]

147 people wachted this clip without the sound.

[MerloHardRock]

Fantastic! B.B. King is really a legend, a real genius.

[johnryabellana123]

blues makes the notes flow from brain!

[BluesManPiano]

un uomo,un genio!

[chrsfldr]

AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!

[Arabianknight1993]

TOP RATED COMMENT YES!!!!!

[ooddiinn31000]

the dislike bar is the same size as beiber's dick

[BaronGhede]

@ooddiinn31000 shut up, you're not funny.

[SantiLP100]

I love this old man!

[tooawesomeforaids]

I like how BB and Lucille never speak at the same time; it'd be rude to interrupt each other

[TheSykoBand]

@tooawesomeforaids You copied that comment -.-

[oblivionmike]

@tooawesomeforaids

his guitar is called Lucille.. which was named after a girl that two men was fighting over... so i dont get you? :)

[TheZerathul86]

It`s a honor listening You`r music Master B.B. Chapeau bas

[Rick8749]

Genius. Gift from God, himself. And the rest of the band at this gig was also phenomenal!!

[SwedxSimon02]

What's up with blues musicians and excessive sweating

[jckido]

@SwedxSimon02 I think it's most musicians

[AcheroniD]

I'm definitely stealing that little move at 4:12. Not even joking.

[lakerbaseball6a]

just sweatin buckets like shaq at the foul line

[greenhornet299]

Great Performer.....5 stars.....from New Orleans....

[tonyjoseph1998]

You can tell he's a brilliant performer because he sings and strums all wiith his eyes closed :D

[MrJagermeister26]

Close your eyes and this is the best natural high a man can get!!

[dorisrn]

Wow!!!!

[KURYELAND]

super

[krikor91]

his face tells us everything

[CCIronworks]

I know a love that inspires this feeling, helping me to relate to the words that BB has written in his song.

The THRILL IS GONE!!! And yes that is what the songs are about "the feelings" the fading the strength of the music coming to the foreground yes the crowd cheering. The Thrill is gone but we always hope it returns, possibly a hollow hope but a hope that persists.

[ramv1243]

this man is the blues

[phatmandon22]

His tone is just smooth as caramel.

[joaoprmachado]

oh my god that TONE! It's my favourite version of this song from those i heard so far. The stringy keyboard does put it down a little bit but BB's impecable. That vibrato is outta this world...

[zeed0]

Not with Lucille....................

[PasqualeRai]

Stupenda!

[MrBigman001]

that guitar is awsome

[fp1000100]

this song should be dedicated to the one and only bluesman, that i can compare with B.B., to the

legendary John Lee Hooker !RIP Johnny

l

[duiliosargentoni]

ecxelente!

[bruznic]

can't stop watching this... been repeating it over and over again. awsome live performance

[Tinyang07]

such a beautiful face...

[7772404]

B.B. King. to work with this man and to die.

[Fasneocroth]

kinda describes my old stoner habit

[4Zoot]

@Fasneocroth More or less when the endless mind-drubbing gets really fucking boring and you move on to a bit of crack instead?

[TheDilligan]

Man... that vibratto... incredible

[slashmanisa]

exploitation



[TheLuanfk]

FANTÁSTICO!

[mackles67]

MAGIC

[gary42254]

BB looks like he's going to have the big one. He's is sitting down and sweating like a pig on the way to slaughter. I hope I am wrong.

[AyieBeperestMusic]

Im fifteen , and hell yeah . Im enjoying every seconds of this piece .
