B.B. KING - Live by Request 2003 (Avi)


B.B. KING - Live by Request 2003 (Avi)

Blues

Filmed in New York City, this concert from blues maestro B.B. King shows exactly why he is so revered in the blues and rock world. Talented guitarist Jeff Beck joins King for three songs, providing the perfect counterpart to the legendary singer. Originally aired on the A&E Network on A&E's Live By Request, B.B. King and special guest Jeff Beck electrify New York City with all-time favorites.

The great bluesmen are almost all gone now, which is reason enough to celebrate this performance by B.B. King. King's guitar playing and singing no longer burn with the fire he displayed on, say, the immortal Live at the Regal album (after all, he was nearly 78 when this 83-minute show was recorded in New York for A&E in June 2003), but the man hasn't lost his touch--and neither has Jeff Beck, who joins him for three tunes. Beck, who continues to play with remarkable invention and dexterity, may even upstage the master--but he's doing it with licks he learned from B.B. himself. The repertoire, as expected when folks (including Willie Nelson and Tony Bennett) are calling up and asking for their favorites, is filled with King classics ("The Thrill Is Gone," "Sweet Little Angel," "Let the Good Times Roll"), as well as a couple from his '03 album, Reflections.
