I was in Bosnia when BB King came to entertain the troops. I was the Officer in Charge of his PSD (personal security detail). He came to Eagle Base and gave an almost 4 hour show. He cmae out, just put it all out on the stage for an hour and a half, then had to take a break and lay down on the floor on an Army sleeping mat to stretch his back and rest. He got up and went to the stage and just beat hell out of that guitar until I thought it would break or melt, and performed for almost 2 hours. The man said repeatedly, he admired, and loved, the US Army soldiers for what they did. His band was more tired than he was when it was over!!! The man was an American Treasure folks! For this old dog face soldier, and a jazz trumpet player, I love the man. Hell of an American folks! A total pro. A total musician, and Patriot. And to shred this Ray Price classic, for a boy from Texas? Amazingly wonderful, thoughtful. He added it in the second half of the show at my request. What a human.

James is actually my uncle(gruncle really), he's nice, really nice, just a happy old man, he's really bummed he can't go out and play with the rest of the band, he practices really hard for hours a day, I would actually be in foster care if him and his wife didn't take me in!
When the ev'nin', ev'nin sun goes down You'll gonna find me (at the parlor) somewhere hangin' around (I said at the parlor) night life yeah It ain't no good life but it's my life yes All the people, just like you and me Everybody is dreaming, dreaming about how it used to be Night life, oh it ain't no good life Ay, but it's my life Oh listen to the blues people Listen to what they're saying Yeah listern to the blues, people Listen to the way they're playing Heaven please send all mankind Understanding and peace of mind If its not asking too much Please send me someone to love, someone to love Show the world how, show them how to get along Please my leader, when the hate is gone So if it's not, oh-oh, asking too much Please send me someone to love, please send me someone to love Nights I've been awake On the world's struggle My answer is always the same Last man rolling in to the stem of the sin April for the world and the play was the same Please send me someone to love
I See this on TH-cam and it is so impressive. the talking trumpet is wonderful magic. But I remember the concert in Tempodrom in Berlin in the 90ties when BB King blew my mind and off my feet. Seeing BB King live changed my life
Agreed, so let me suggest the nicks concert for you. Just type "BB King nicks" at search engine here in youtube. You'll love the Sax on "Never make your move too soon" and also the bass on "Better not look down".
Was listening to a Terry Gross interview with Willie Nelson in which he talked about writing three pretty good songs in one week when he was working as a DJ in LA, Night Life, Funny How Time Slips Away, and. Crazy. Not a bad weeks work. And BB took it to amazing places. I miss him
I will never hear another Blues guitarist like this man.I met him back stage in Hamilton NZ.He sighned my one dollar bill.Kia pai Rawa tou haerere ana ki to Tipuna He Rangatira.Mauri Ora Kotou.
33 justin bieber fans detected.... This is real music.... I'm 17 and I love blues and soul.... RIP all of the blues and soul legends who has passed away....
As child my relatives would play BB Kings music every weekend / I remember hearing him working his radio show on station { WDIA } in Memphis,Tennessee...❤
BB KING YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN MY IDOL SINCE I,WERE A LITTLE BOY I STARTED PLAYING THE GUITAR CAUSE ILOVED HOW YOU MASTERED LOUCILLE...REST IN PEACE,BB KING KING OF THE BLUES,BB REST IN PEACE..MJ
Richard B. Davis oh, he could - in his radio days as the PepTiCon King he had to as there were no other musicians in the studio - but he didnt have the feel for rhythm guitar that others had and chose not to let it interfere with his soloing. If you study his chord technique you'll find it's much like his leads - if it sounded good to him he played it, and rhythm guitar is more structured.
Always loved that bitter sweet song and had it on the repertoire with my blues band. BB King is a true story teller both on guitar and with his voice. He is the best!

They all deserve their recognition. Thanks for posting.
@@wepimpchimpin7799 God bless him! I love his solos on B.B.'s live performances. His joy of music is contageous
B.B.'s guitar playing in his prime was nothing short of the best of the best blues player of all time.
eh let's not go crazy
B. B. King should be taught in all academies of music. He's most similar to Louis Armstrong--majestic, magnificent, inevitable singing and playing.
🥰🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
True that
Written by Willie Nelson,sang by B.B.King, two legends !!
Ray Price did a fantastic cover of this song as well!

They were very good friends!! Thanks for sharing that tidbit!!!
When the ev'nin', ev'nin sun goes down
You'll gonna find me (at the parlor) somewhere hangin' around
(I said at the parlor) night life yeah
It ain't no good life but it's my life yes
All the people, just like you and me
Everybody is dreaming, dreaming about how it used to be
Night life, oh it ain't no good life
Ay, but it's my life
Oh listen to the blues people
Listen to what they're saying
Yeah listern to the blues, people
Listen to the way they're playing
Heaven please send all mankind
Understanding and peace of mind
If its not asking too much
Please send me someone to love, someone to love
Show the world how, show them how to get along
Please my leader, when the hate is gone
So if it's not, oh-oh, asking too much
Please send me someone to love, please send me someone to love
Nights I've been awake
On the world's struggle
My answer is always the same
Last man rolling in to the stem of the sin
April for the world and the play was the same
Please send me someone to love
RIP BB King, dont know what id be doing today if i never heard this song

One of his best performances, ever
I really wish that I had the chance to see BB play in his prime. He is a blues treasure!
The King of the blues! Always has been, always will be 😊
Um Leão no Palco. B.B. King é a profusão do Blues latente em nossas Almas. Parabéns Mestre B.B. King. Gratidão ao Canal.👏👏👏
I bet this brings a tear to Willies eye... so good...
The King lives up to his name no doubt
That trompet player was magnificent!

James Bolden
Check out the trumpet solo by his long-time band director Calvin (Pop) Owens: th-cam.com/video/DQfDT-PCjyI/w-d-xo.html
@@dereksingleton5366 thank you
He's my gruncle, he's nice, it's ok if you don't believe me, but he is
Jesus, when I hear that I don't know if I feel elated or if I wanna cry.
Amazing
forever will always be my favorite bb king track...nightlife...Rest In Peace BB King
Indeed
No one played more live shows and man what a sound with feeling Mr King and his band brought!
It's impossible to play better. Genious!
James Bolden, & B.B.King at There Best,,,
Takes me to the place where I find my inner peace. Oh what a melody my King.
I only got to see BB live one time late in his career. Even then he filled that hall with his booming voice. And the playing... Oh my!!!
Fabulous! Stirring! Earth-shattering!! Must have made Willie so PROUD!!!
Man, I never heard anything like that. Absolutely awesome.
As a professional musician this is the best rehearsed band live; I've ever seen or heard.
Agreed, so let me suggest the nicks concert for you. Just type "BB King nicks" at search engine here in youtube.
You'll love the Sax on "Never make your move too soon" and also the bass on "Better not look down".
You know nothing
Masterpiece of expression!
I wish his first solo never ends 🎵🎶🎸
Just the joy on BBS face there's a man who loved his work. The master...!!
🎶🎶🎵🇺🇲 nothing but the blues.
OMGOODNESS I so remember Uncle BB's horn player😊he always seemed happy. Hope you are well❤️👏🏿🙏🏾you made a little girl smile Pretty Pat from D.C.😉
A classic blues song by a man who epitomizes the term, "blues with a feeling"! And his supporting players are top-notch, too!
RIP, Mr. King. You've earned it for a lifetime of tirelessly playing the blues.
This is the way B.B. was in his purest presentation and the way I will always remember him in concert. WONDERFUL Bluesman!!!
Was listening to a Terry Gross interview with Willie Nelson in which he talked about writing three pretty good songs in one week when he was working as a DJ in LA, Night Life, Funny How Time Slips Away, and. Crazy. Not a bad weeks work. And BB took it to amazing places. I miss him
There can be no other like that Blues Brother! Mister B. B. King!
Lucille is the best singer I've ever heard
Lucille es la mejor cantante que he escuchado
It’s the Amp too
BB had the blues from his head to his toes!!
Best performens ever.
Fantastic performance.....this one is all about the BB King bends and facial expressions.
The greatest performer...........ever.
His soul's rendition of the blues
B. always gave his 100%
bb will always be my fav above all the others..
mine also
Great artist! RIP BB King
SENSATIONAL!
I will never hear another Blues guitarist like this man.I met him back stage in Hamilton NZ.He sighned my one dollar bill.Kia pai Rawa tou haerere ana ki to Tipuna He Rangatira.Mauri Ora Kotou.
33 justin bieber fans detected.... This is real music.... I'm 17 and I love blues and soul.... RIP all of the blues and soul legends who has passed away....
One of his best solos imo
Thinking of my friend 1968-2008!
I always connect this and John Lee Hooker's Whisky and Wimmen because he laments "Nightlife, whisky and Wimmen" as taking it all away from him.
This song was written by Willie Nelson. Great tune!
Now that is what I call a performance!
As child my relatives would play BB Kings music every weekend / I remember hearing him working his radio show on station { WDIA } in Memphis,Tennessee...❤
I love this cover by BB
Thank you Mister KING
BB KING YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN MY IDOL SINCE I,WERE A LITTLE BOY I STARTED PLAYING THE GUITAR CAUSE ILOVED HOW YOU MASTERED LOUCILLE...REST IN PEACE,BB KING KING OF THE BLUES,BB REST IN PEACE..MJ
James Bolden on that trumpet.......damn.
Dia bermain gitar dengan rasa yg begitu indah...RASA
Great perfomance. Love it. ♡
A masterrful and vers dazzled Player of S/G
BB never sang and played at the same time.He said he couldn't do it.
Richard B. Davis oh, he could - in his radio days as the PepTiCon King he had to as there were no other musicians in the studio - but he didnt have the feel for rhythm guitar that others had and chose not to let it interfere with his soloing. If you study his chord technique you'll find it's much like his leads - if it sounded good to him he played it, and rhythm guitar is more structured.
Clout Lord Explain ???
I just bought an Epiphone Lucille! Let the good times roll!
Always loved that bitter sweet song and had it on the repertoire with my blues band. BB King is a true story teller both on guitar and with his voice. He is the best!
We are watching and listening to someone who changed the world.
If this doesn't move you in some way...man I just don't know.
The Bluesman ! Rip.
Great memories for me
creative use of plunger points for the trumpet player...
29 people who are dislikes this such a beautiful performance must be fan of DJ and others crap song nowadays.

Pure brilliant
