B.B. King - Sweet Sixteen

[Steevob87]

WHY would any1 dislike this, the word genius is thrown about too much these days BUT when you call this man a GENIUS there is no word of a lie!!

[HardingPeter]

3:54 even the King gives a thumbs up haha

[truerezpimp8]

you cant get any blues like this now and days bbking is king of the blues for ever an always! !

[vanzeposmith910]

B.B. King came here to Hawaii in springtime. Sadly, i wasnt in to blues at this time. I missed the oppurtunity of a lifetime.

[Pwn3d360]

STEVE JORDANNNNNN!

[Gamesgamer1337]

that is music with feeling not like this modern stuff but the modern kids can't feel the blues 'cause there is nothing for them to feel blue about

[alexisedme]

Living legend ! A lot of what music has become is to be attributed to this man.

[1summero]

I love the blues



[Jim72344]

Generations from now when someone asks, "What was this blues music you speak of?" This video should be played. Nuf said.

[Jazleen808]

Sweet 'Ole Blues:)

[whiteasianmen]

i cried when i heard kids boo the blues , I'm 17 and I have been listening to the blues since the first time i got my guitar, and i refuse to play anything else but the blues!!!

[52BEZY]

iSS LIKE BEIN' BLACC TWICE

[freante]

@beltpn: quit bragging! I haven't seen him yet. :'(

[axin96]

to brate

[beltpn]

I heard someone say something that I have been trying to put into words for many years....B.B. King the only man alive that can make you cry with one note. I couldn't have said it better myself....I have seen him six times and I hope and pray for the next time I love you B.B.

[crowman131]

if you don't listen to blues, you don't have much taste. I need a daily bb king intake of around 10+ songs

[GiggleBlizzard]

@crowman131 Sorry but that's kinda stupid, no offense, you listen to blues when you feel like listening to blues. How else are you gonna enjoy it? Period.

[josephkallifffraude]

FUCK THE KIDS WHO DON"T APPRECIATE BLUES!!

[ejcbmx]

sooooo much soul... I've never heard music that gives me goosebumps like BB King's music does

[black777666lol]

when they say blues its like being black twice BB and his word play amazing

[benwety95]

When they say bluess, hey its like being black twice

[BigWillieWillHom]

I Was Very Fortunate & Lucky To See B.B. King Performed Live In Concert About 6 - Times In My Life!! I Will Always Respect & Love The Blues No Matter What!! Long Live B.B. King & The Blues Forever!!

- Big Will / The Blues Universe

[AndroidBH1]

I think you need to be a little older and maybe even suffered a little bit to really get what this master of the Blues does. Nobody better in the world. God love you BB.

[26Red1990]

all hail bb king our lord and saviour.

[brainac0cult]

BB King fan from Serbia

[TravisBickle92]

Just Great ... Fuck modern music.

[merlinchanelle]

fuck is god

[Metallichate]

there is no other guitar like lucille.

[kathwoodstock]

No cryin in the player, no crying in the listener

I guess real men have feelings

[kathwoodstock]

No cryin in the player, no crying in the listener

[Niall666devildiver]

He puts so much passion in to all his stuff every time he plays.

Anyone who liked this should definitely listen to the original Maggot Brain by Hazel.

[Bulldog22031]

"when they said 'blues'... hey, it's like being black twice"

LMAO

[watsmyname023]

If the blues don't appeal to you, you ain't got no soul!!!

[Mewsinghan]

Steve Jordan carries that groove like it no thing.

[Kelol100]

Amazing guitarist. That solo in the beginning: pretty easy to "play", but very hard to play like BB King. I mean with all that bending and other stuff.

[DocFuzzB3]

I know the feeling of "being black twice", 'cause I live in a Kansas redneck town and I am the only black man that plays music , but they think because I'm "high yellow" that I am one of them.

[TheMetallicaFan55]

He takes you to a diffrent world were theres no worries or problems just blues

[wepimpha]

he pick the hell outta the Lucille!

[D14007]

he has the power to bring more life to the world

[ArtDonna84]

Going to see BB and Buddy August 2010 together. Can't wait. Saw BB about 3 yrs ago and have been going through withdrawals since. Come on August.

[Edgewoodz6]

i'm 24 years old and i'll listen or go see to b.b. king before any other artist. His music is so relaxing

[kantaketepassa]

13/06/2010...Rome...i will be there!

[chaco1776]

WOW...That was incredible.

[7blbaron]

just close your eyes and let the sweet music pass throught your soul and you wouldnt even feel the time

just pay attention to the legend

[gamwtoxnet]

L E G E N D

[midasmith]

AfroAmericans the best in sport and music !!!;))))

[hugeacdcfan123]

Where and when?

[AccidentalArtist]

If you ever get the chance to see this man live, do it, you won't regret it. He still has it, believe it.

[GM154]

Look at the soul he puts into it!

Def. one of the best...

[rotaryturb0]

He truely feels his music. I'm only just starting to develop that myself, and it feels so good. I think not enough musicians nowdays play from the heart and soul like BB still does today. I love the fact that I'm 21 years old...born in 88 yet im loving his blues as if i were born in the 50s and grew up with it. Love ya BB....love you Lucille! ;)

[Corpsegrinder1712]

@rotaryturb0 Man you wont believe it but I feel the exact same way. I'm 22 now and I began playing blues guitar some weeks ago. (I played harder stuff before) but nothing compares to the feeling to produce a tone with your guitar that just slightly reminds you of B.B. and Lucille....

[407studmuffin]

@steveobroil1 yea it is steve jordan

[407studmuffin]

"Its like being black twice" lol

[burnswords]

Pronto en Sudamerica pero igual ta lejos no podre ir BB KING UN IDOLO!!!

[Steveobroil1]

[jayman448]

this my be a stupid question, but is bb king still alive?

[JulianHuntersMusic]

@jayman448 yupp

[sigakak]

of course he is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheStr8rzr]

Not a stupid question...he is alive and still performing but much slower....the man has paid his dues.

[ganjisgood]

he is and i saw him live in NYC a few weeks ago and he was playing and singing no different than he is here in this video. He stuck around after the show and we all ran up to the stage and he signed autographs and handed out guitar picks and told us stories bout the old days. He's a very genuine fellow.

[aklanonboy]

@jayman448 lol u serious?

yes he's still alive.

[jayman448]

well sorry but im just a young teen learnin to love ol' BB, an i was told he was dead

[flyermaker]

Dear B.B.KING! I was first time in my life on your concert in Budapest. last Summer! It was fun! Thank you for the show!!!!!!!!

[MUR23]

[Abderrahman09]

[andrwrhds21]

[tomsr12]

[PageandPlant4Life]

[VailSongs1]

met BB King here in Omaha set up his backline for Rainbow Studio's They sent me to get food for the crew from mickey d's walked up to him later and asked for his autograph..he was really nice about it..said he didn't have no paper...I had a french fry bag...he signed that...kept it for a long time...at my 24th B~Day party a beer got spilled on it...what a drag...BB King Rules..I try to do as many of his songs I can with my blues group

[frankenstein1959]

That's a nearly 80 year old man singing. Unbelievable!

[lXJoseOleXl]

is that steve jordan on drums?

[mootle661]

Yeah I imagine if anyone booed a modern day BB gig you'd hear a high pitched, stinging, BB note, there'd be a flash of BB blue and the daft booing bastard would be deleted form existence!

[helenbaker9]

he awesome i grow up listen to bb king in my home that all momma and daddy play i still know the song he sing

[intheblues]

Steve jordan on the drums awesome! :) Go bb go!

[bvstang1967]

B.B. King is awesome but the band in this video seems to be a little off timing wise

[Immaculate416]

then you got bad timing

[sundowna]

only thing better is being there.you have to hear bb live..and you will die a happy man..lol he is the blues..

[monne101]

I listen to it when I wake up when I eat and when I sleep

[pinkopacifist]

people BOOED him??

[luckeyeth]

[Surfanimal1990s]

Long live B.B.King.

[JazzMonkey17]

B.B. King's got the blues and Steve Jordan has the beats to back em up! :]

[LeftForBlues]

Awesome, BB King is my favourite, there is nobody better than him!

[shaserv]

Pulls tears right from ya. You treat me mean baby and I'll keep on lovin you just the same. Thats the blues....

[lezgon]

At the end, hysteria's a better word for it.

[lezgon]

Powerful, dark, tragic sound, unbelievable intensity.

[MindlessFlix]

You know he got "B.B." from when he worked at a radio station. His name was Beale Street Blues Boy. They shortened it to Blues boy. Then to Bee Bee. Then to B.B.

There you go!

[srvalfaro]

lol its like being black twice...sad.

[25bars25]

thank you!!

[alsaigba]

Thats why ppl wanted to see him play live soo much...watching him took listening to guitar to a new level.

[ghostchildd88]

The facial expressions man...what's up with the facial expressions???

[machinenamon]

are you an avid guitar player? that's what they do when they're into it

[knoxrox167]

passion

[StarLiightDancer]

[LesPaulPearlDude]

83 years old and he still rox

[bluesmaen]

Thanks for sharing this !!!

Take care

[popomczowzow]

"It's like being black twice"

Haha well put

[leglion]

The closest thing to a religeous experience I've ever had was watching BB King in concert. A true legend.

[hungrypuma2008]

Agree; the guy is unreal in concert; he was my first concert in 1971 and saw him several times since; also saw Clapton, Winter, Alvin Lee, lots of other "legends" in their prime, and nobody pulled your soul right through the f-holes in his guitar like BB; only guy I've heard who made you hear notes he wasn't even playing!

[leglion]

I hear ya. The world disappears when you're at a BB King concert.

[gijsnakgast]

The Gibson BB King Lucille doesn't have F holes...

[hungrypuma2008]

Good catch on the f-holes on current Lucilles; however, his Gibsons in the 1970's (when I saw him several times in concert) had them, although it is conceivable they were fake as on the ES 300's of the era. Check out the Memphis show with Bobby Bland in 1975 for example.

[daviddiaz1290]

el puto amo

[LoveCheer]

nice

[leadimprov]

"Like being black twice." Awesome.

[angoleirodvgr]

"You're gonna pay a lot of money to hear someone call my name!" I know that's right B.B.

[goldieblack101]

damn i love the blues

[iansoad92]

es un genio!

[sigakak]

He is the One an only BB King

[alefede576]

On July I have see him concert on WA...WOW!!!!

..LIKE TO BE KINK!!..

[pedroazevedo1]

"It's like being black twice"

This man is too much!

[paulefty]

wonderful video, thanks for sharing!:D

[Methadone4Life]

Can u imagine anyone booing BB? If I seen someone boo BB,Buddy or any of the legends..I would smack them across their baby face. These young kids have no idea of what a real guitar player is..hell,they think a guy with a bucket on his head is good..LOL

[scubasteve455]

im 16 and i love bb king i wana meet him someday if hes still around when im older

[jeagerpoelse]

he will get to become 100 years old! hes 83 and hes still such a talent. and energious.

[Tommy19911229]

woot i''m 16 too. i better meet him someday, otherwise my life will be incomplete.

[DefWish]

I'm 17 and I can only wish music today was as inspiring as his.

[emanresUya]

can i still see him live??

even though he already did his farewell tour??

[raggakakka]

slave music

[ronaldveneboer]

Mozart from america

[JuppFrusciante]

i'd do anything to get a thumbs up from bb

[tolga7t]

It's a great one

[philos71]

Heavensssssssss...when he starts playing that first note you just get chills, man, chiiils!

[Blacksmallpox]

LONG LIVE TO THE KING

[AndShePlaysGuitar]

I love the blues man!

It's mens music, it's womans music, it's black music, its white music, its straight music, its gay music...it's everyones music!

[texbls]

Robben Ford did nice cover of this tune.

[IndigoBlu736]

man, hes really makes the guitar scream on this one

[natg900]

If there was no BB King in the first place... there would be no Blues.

This man is the God of Blues

[LedZepp86]

i disagree .. look all the great blues musician before his time .. Lonnie johnson , Texas Alexander ..

[natg900]

ok.... a) It's a figure of speech. b) B.B King really gave the blues to the white community (if you get me)

[fallcolours]

No, there would still be blues, but it wouldn't be embraced the way it is by white folks.

[natg900]

True. Which I guess I just deviated it a bit lol.
