I saw him live in Tacoma Washington forty five years ago and it is still one of the most memorable performances I've ever seen! The thrill may be gone but I still get goose bumps thinking about it.

Another great one gone. He had a certain sound with that guitar and voice that couldn't be copied. R.I.P. B.B.

OMG! I was there! It was the same night I got married the first time! I had forgotten exactly where it was and thought it may had been at PLU! Nope, take that back I saw him in September and it was PLU.

I had the unique experience of operating a spotlight on a B. B. King performance back around 1970. He was a legend back then and just kept getting bigger. A real loss for the music world.
