=================================

Recorded from Section X, Row E, Seat 235

Here’s the next B.B. King recording. Being torrented and shared for the first time.
This was actually the very last time I saw BB King live. Making it the 17th time I had seen and recorded the blues legend.
At this point in his career, I really felt like the quality of his shows were starting to fall off a bit, even though his band is always great. Personally I kind of hoped he would’ve retired by 2010 and just makes rare cameo appearances from time to time.
But being the one of the hardest working musicians in the business he was going to go until he dropped,
which was exactly how his career and life ended.

The quality on this is fairly good. I liked it. The speaking banter parts were kind of quiet so I amplified many of the lower parts.
Many times he wouldn’t speak directly into the microphone so it was kind of hard to hear him talk, but I improved that a little bit
so hopefully you folks can enjoy this.

Total Time = 01:29:30
