BB King - Thrill Is Gone + A Valuable Lesson :)

One of the best versions of this song. Next to that he's giving every performer a great message to learn from. Give the audience what they want! Bored with playing that hit song 3 trillion times? So be it, the audience wants it! It's one of many reasons why the king is so respected imo.

Hey there man. Great song and to me this is the best version. Do you know where this was recorded, and if there is a dvd to buy with that show?

Thanks

Hi! Glad you like it. The dvd is called Live at Nick's.

The story is that one night he was playing in a club in Twist Alabama and they used to fill a barrel with Kerosene to heat the club. Well two men in the club were fighting over a woman named lucille and knocked the barrel over and a river of fire filled the club. BB ran out, but forgot his guitar, which was an old acoustic gibson. He ran back in after it, and barely made it out alive. He subsequently named all of his guitars lucille to remind himself to never fight over a woman.
