BB King - Why I Sing The Blues - Live In Africa 1974

[donedave]

"I've laid in a ghetto flat, cold and numb; I heard the bedbugs tell the rats to give the roaches some"- I may be white, but brother I've lived those lyrics too B.B.! (I've seen B.B. in concert 3x's & he NEVER fails to represent!!)

[alcidebougras]

THE king !!

[IuganProduction]

The Master At His BEST !

[Mathai13]

1.43 - James May played with B.B. King ?? :DDD

[oRusty00]

@Mathai13 Hahaa I was just about to say that!

[LuizaMitteldorf]

the person that pressed dislike is obviously someone that is in the video and thought they look fat on it...no other possible explanation

[addict2musicals]

i love how the conductor has everyone stop and hold off playing, then the drummer comes in on the hi-hat and the conductors face just goes "fuck it" haha

[an152771]

[riky251186]

Only a person who doesn't like this!! but don't worry about that, I know him and he has no ears! :)

[kevindlinc]

I saw a double bill in '89 with Bobby''Blue''Bland opening for B.B. in front of 15,000 outside at the P.N.E in Vancouver B.C and for the love of God B.B had the whole crowd in rapture, I shit you not , . I also managed to meet him once and he is as down to earth as you can imagine.A hero of mine!!!

[kyleberkopes]

I wouldn't call this "rare", I rented it from Netflix. It is, however, extremely powerful and probably the best live concert of B.B. ever captured on film.

[HunMett]

Please help us!

[kyleberkopes]

@HunMett Netflix.
