My wife (RIP) booked B.B.'s daughter Shirley King for a New Years Eve show in Muncie Indiana at Pub she worked at in town. B.B. was playing the same night at Ball State University at a show earlier in the day. we picked up Shirley and her band in our mini van and Shirley said "you all want to meet my Daddy?"ummm….YES! met him at the Hotel in town right before he headed for the venue and he asked me and my wife if we were going to his show. we said no, we had not bought tickets and it was sold out. as I was fanboying over one of my heroes B.B. said " well, you are my guests tonight, come on." we followed him to Emens Auditorium on campus and he let us sit backstage and watch the show. I also got to meet Bobby Bland who opened for him. B.B. was one of the nicest men to ever walk the planet. His daughter Shirley is one of the sweetest ladies you will ever meet. God Bless the King family for giving me and my wife one of the greatest nights of our life.

My name is Andy Okus. I been playing pro sax, guitar, bass, and piano over 45 years now. I met Mr. B.B. King when I was only 14 years old in 1971 at " Pirate's World " in Hollywood Florida. He was the kindest, most humble gentleman I ever met. He treated me; a little kid who knew one blues lick on the Alto sax like I was a millionaire or something. He was such a totally selfless human being. I hung out with his sax section after the show. They we're just as kind and giving as B.B. was. I mean they treated me like I was damn Charlie Parker. We just chilled and talked about playing different saxes. The mood and the vibe of this clip is a representative of the highest and finest respect that is shown among " Real " musical artists. The horn section were actually playing the hottest of anyone up there. In closing I remember hearing an old B.B. King 45 record from 1954 when I was only 13. That record was the rawest most firey playing I've ever heard from B.B. !! This was before he ever added horns. If y'all can find any of his beginning stuff from the early 50's you're in for a real pleasant shock! God Bless B.B. King forever and ever! The REAL KING OF THE BLUES!!!!

Loved your story, especially since we are the same age from the same town, Pirates World had great concerts back then, just as all the free concerts put on at the U of Miami that I could hear from my bedroom if the window was open. If I told anyone the acts the U put on there free to students (and kids that snuck in) they would think I was making it all up, but nope it was the real deal back then and Miami had lot's of great acts back then but you had to have a friend working at the record store to hear about them and get good tickets.

I got to see him when I was around 11-12 years old, wish I could’ve got to see him again when I got older 🤦‍♂️

BB King is cheerful and happy no matter what, true legend ❤️

Once you get recognition for your music and make it big,their must be nothing better than going through your own personal hero's to jam with them. You can clearly see the love ❤️

The biggest heart in blues. Saw him live in Halifax. A kind soul with lots of self-effacing humor. I know everyone in that room felt like he was talking directly to them. I still smile at his live concert videos

How honoured did Slash feel to able to do this? Amazing moment for Slash.. And didnt go overboard. It was bout BB KING. Total respect. 🧡

I just love derek his playing something about a slide just hits different

Slash showed proper restraint, and kept in pocket. His playing was great! Mr. Trucks on that slide tho…. My God that guy is awesome!

BB was an amazing musician and the greatest ambassador for the blues genre.

B.B. passes his legacy to all who can grab it. Loving their creativity and individuality, he asks "Just play one more?" He has planted the seed. 💙💕

What a legendary moment!!! This is just an explosion of talent ... All stars

So epic. I am so grateful to have attended one of BB’s last performances.

BB was a great musician from down home. He knew about hard times and had a great work ethic. He didn’t allow people to use profanity in his presence. No weed smoking around him at no time. I learn this many years ago a wonderful human being

B.B. King Wearing the Crown of Rock was iconic

Best thing on here is the bass playing - love the little runs and fills, makes the song for me.

Somehow the best part of this video for me isn't the music, it's the fact King really enjoys being on stage with a bunch of other good musicians. It's like the stage is where he belonged in life, and he knew that better than anyone else.

My high school maths teacher once told me BB saved his life, when I asked him what he meant he told me this story: He was working at a gas station when somebody walked up to him at the counter with a knife. When the knife wielder walked up to the counter about to demand whatever it was they were about to demand he paused and asked "Is that brother BB?" (the music playing over the speakers) when my teacher replied that yes it was, the person put the knife away and walked off

@@markbehnke5243 was fortunate to see BB four times, all with my 3rd son who is a very good guitar player, several of them in the first couple of rows. In my humble opinion, he WAS the King of the Blues, with a style so distinct in every which way, that it is still imitated, but not duplicated.....I try my best to emulate him with my Synths, but my son does much better on the real guitar.

What an honor for Slash, he’s a consummate performer and a true talent.

Derek Trucks is just another level to Slash

I love Slash and BB's friendship, seeing him put his hat on BB was awesome!

I tell you man, there's a shit load of talent on that stage. But I have yet to see anyone make a guitar sing like BB could. Saw a show with him and Buddy Guy just before he died, and he spent a lot of time talking to the crowd instead of playing. You could tell it was almost over for him, but when he was playing Lucille that night, It cut through all of the other instruments, Buddy stepped back and watched with this... contented look on his face I'll never forget, and I swear that was one of the most magical things I'd heard from a stage. My only regret is that I wasn't able to see him earlier in life during his prime.

I am one of a few that can say I seen the GREAT BB KING in concert. When I die I will get to see him once more. BB KING is still the KING
