Legend. Clapton, Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck…all those guys learned from BB!

I saw BB King live - for free - in 1983. I was a prison guard - and Mr King would give shows for inmates. I happened to be assigned to that concert - and positioned in front - of the front row. I had the best seat for a BB King concert you could ever want. He was an awesome man for giving his time and energy to others - especially brothers who were being harmed by a system. I enjoyed the music with all the others in that audience. He was awesome!

BB is a legend, because of him I fell in love with the Blues. check out BB KING AND STEVIE Ray Vaughn live in New Orleans, L.A at the Jazz and Heritage Festival.

THIS MAN IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE THE BEST BLUES GUITARIST IN THE WORLD 🌎

FINALLY FINALLY...FINALLY...Y'all have found the man, the myth...B.B.King. believe it or not, an inspiration to many heavy metal guitarist. So glad u guys are experiencing this, keep them coming.

I think of BB King as African American heritage.That's how important he is.Before James Brown,before Michael Jackson..there was BB King.God knows how many people he inspired to pick up the guitar.His greatness is just legendary

Prince. While my guitar gently weeps. Live at rock and roll hall of fame. One of the best guitar solos ever!

The man could pack more emotion and more soul into a single note on that guitar than anyone else in music history.

You guys should definitely react to another blues legend, Muddy Waters. Definitely do Mannish Boy off the Hard Again album. The electrified version. It's an absolute classic!!

I love all kinds of music. Pink Floyd is my all time favorite. I'm a 54 year old grandma who jams to Slipknot but B.B. King is an absolute legend. You want the blues that's where you go!

BB King is an Icon of music and the Blues .His guitar is named Lucille also one of his songs. Read his story! Can never get enough of his music!

Props to your dad for raising you with excellent taste in music.

I got to see him at the Uptown Theater in Kansas City in 1981 when I was young. One of the most incredible shows I've ever been to. He had the entire audience in his palm the whole entire show. And it was so fun and I got goosebumps so many times and his band was so good and of course he was all over the stage with Lucille, the guitar that he played for decades. I saw him several years later when he was older and then I saw him at an outdoor festival with other blues luminaries when he was extremely old and right before he stopped playing. He was so shrunken and shriveled compared to his normal robust self and he sat in a chair and it was a very short set but he still had Lucille and his band was still good and he sounded fantastic! Koko Taylor came out for one of the numbers.

BB King and Bobby Blue Bland on Soul Train performing together is one of the best things you'll ever hear.

One of the greatest musicians of all times!!! 👍👏👏👏👋🇮🇹

I got to see BB King live in 2005. He was diabetic, in his 70's and still put on a great show. He was so warm, charismatic, optimistic and full of life. Amazing performer. It was a privilege to see him play live, and I will never forget it.

Guys love your channel. Check out Bill Withers another legend. Ain’t no sunshine, Lean on me, Grandmas hands

BB King is all BLUES. I was BLESSED to see him live. Amazing. He threw out a necklace from his blues festival and I caught it. 🤗Still have it. 💜💜💜

BB King came to my history of rock n roll class back in college , Indiana university.He spoke and even played Lucille, his guitar. Very humble and laid back guy.

Man, I told you guys in another comment to listen to BB. An absolute legend. He just Kisses your soul. He makes the hair on the back of my neck stand straight up, lol. So many rock legends were influenced by him. Listen to the duet with Tracy Chapman that they did. The thrill is gone. She is another ridiculously amazing artist. Her voice is insane.

This music runs deep in my soul born and live in Memphis TN it is impossible for it not to. This is what the soul of music sounds like.

Blues royalty right there. Nice to see young men discovering the greats that I grew up enjoying. Nobody ever had a negative word about BB - its worth your time to dig deeper into his music catalog.

BB was known for his clean, clear, subdued style. A blend of Blues and Smooth Jazz.

Blues Boy King, the pride of Mississippi ❤. One of the GREATEST artists of any genre. I feel so blessed to have seen him in concert. So many guitarists name B.B. as their inspiration. I’ve never heard of a bad word ever spoken about the man. He is what the word “legend” means. Other great blues artists are Albert King, Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy, Howlin’ Wolf, and the one who started it all, Robert Johnson. There are so many good blues artists out there. Just dive in and enjoy! 😁❤️🎸

Can't beat this for pure blues. How deep into your soul can you go with this? As deep as you're able.

He just have to play one note, and you know it is BB King ❤❤❤❤

Im so glad youo played BB King he is a huge part of music history and one of the most respected guitarists of all time. Every guitarist owes this man. He is a big part of the great holy echelon of the blues. Robert Johnson, Louis Jordan, Bo Diddley, John Lee Hooker, Chuck Berry. Without these guys rock music does not exist

That kind of music comes from something deep inside. The soul is speaking

Man, he just plays so damn smooth, and croons so damn rough... fabulous!!!!

My favorite version of this song is when BB and Lucille (his guitar) play with Gary Moore in a small venue with an amazing backup band. I have seen it at least 10 times. Magic.

B.B. King and Eric Clapton made an album together. It's one of my favorites, it's amazing!

Another great blues song to react to -Albert King & Stevie Ray Vaughan Born Under A Bad Sign ( In Session.)

I know you reacted to STEVIE RAY VAUGHN Voodoo Chile but you have to see/hear Texas Flood live at the El Mocambo!! One of the best blues performances you'll ever see!

BB King is the icon of the blues. The best blues. Love all his guitar playing & singing.❤❤❤

Huge Blues fan, especially the older blues. Y'all should seriously react to some older blues artists. BB King, little Walter, Howlin Wolf, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, John Lee Hooker Taj Mahal, Rye Cooder...

Saw him live a couple of times before his passing. R.I.P Blues legend 💙

He was my grandmas favorite! Saw him and got a personal meeting back in the 80’s while gambling. This man is a staple!! Also, he is the greatest blues person of all time!! Don’t forget it baby. Won’t ever hear no music like this. React to Lucille!!

I am from Ethiopia & I grew up listening BB King

BB KING is my dad's fav OF ALL TIME, so I grew up hearing this EVERYDAY and I got the chance to c him live b4 he passed AND ITS THE BEST LIVE SHOW IVE EVER SEEN

A great BB King song is Standing On The Edge of Love.Definitely one of my favorites!

He has his own scale! When new guitarists ask how to get better at playing the blues, you show them the B.B King Box! And his vibrato is just sooo iconic.

That voice, so incredible! A true legend and a class act through and through. They don’t make ‘em like that anymore.

I’m so happy to see someone reacting to my favorite blues artist! I was lucky enough to see him several times in the 60’s. Joe Bonamassa opened for B.B. when he was 12 years old. Joe is now one of the very best blues guitarists. I think you would enjoy watching him and singer Beth Hart perform I’d Rather Go Blind (Etta James cover. If you don’t know Etta James you should definitely listen to her also) Thank you-You made my day!

Saw BB King one night at his joint and he played for about 45 minutes and killed it! The man had stage presence that you couldn’t describe. Just electric!!

React to Hold On I'm Coming by B.B King & Eric Clapton. These guys went crazy on the solo they made the guitar start TALKING!

He definitely is the King of Blues he is a legend I seen him in concert when i was a kid in the 90s he gave me the chills his voice goes right though you're soul

Saw him when I was a senior in high school, 1982. First non-hard rock concert I'd been to and it was phenomenal. I've also seen him twice since then.

While my guitar gently weeps .. The live one with Prince

You can feel his passion and soul in the song. The way he sings and plays guitar even better if you close your eyes and listen. Do some Marvin Gaye, James Brown, Al Greene and Ray Charles songs 🔥

Thrill is Gone....Love it.... Love it when the heads start moving...You don't have soul if BB doesn't move your soul.....

Saw B.B. King & his beloved Lucille live once. One of the best concerts I've ever been to. He--they--are sorely missed.

B.B. King had to be big to house his huge soul. Incredibly good at making you feel his music even while sitting down... masterclass

Good reaction guys! BB King is a great guitarist but I wondered if you guys noticed something UNIQUE about his playing style? BB only plays the guitar when he is not singing. Whenever he sings a verse he pauses his play on "Lucille." He then plays the rest of the phrase on Lucille and then comes with the next singing verse. It's his signature way of playing and it's down home blues style! A female all time great blues artist you guys should react to is...Koko Taylor "I'm A Woman!" AND GUYS PLEASE LISTEN CLOSELY TO THE LYRICS...this is called lyrical genius(whomever the songwriter is)!

Take it from an old white lady, B.B.King was THE KING!! I used to sit up late in the 1960 listening to him on the Canadian Broadcasting network. The blues started at 10 PM! Lovely for people to listen to all kinds of music.

He’s my favorite guitar player and blues musician. I was lucky enough to see him in concert several times and he never disappointed. He was a great showman too, even sitting in his chair with his guitar, he owned the audience.

I had one of his guitar picks. It always brought me good luck. I ended up passing along to someone who need a little good luck more than I did. There's a reason that man's last name was KING.

The king of vibrato. Bb king live at the regal is one of the best albums of all time. Certainly one of the best live albums.

BB's guitar was named Lucille. Look up why. Its a great story. I grew up loving the blues with my dad. I still love them at 65 and always will. I'm sooo happy you guys got to experience the GREAT BB King........

B.B. King truly was a blues legend and guitar hero rest in peace to the king

BB King could put more blues in one note than most guys could put in a whole solo. I heard that BB was on the road for well over 300 days each and every year. He never spent much time at home.

Saw BB like 18 years ago at the Muddy Waters Festival in St Louis. AMAZING!! I love R&B!! It might be black culture, but it can touch a white person's soul too

BB is just stone cold and smooth as silk. A living legend at the time and just incredible. I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt, the thrill he gave me, most certainly is not gone, it's still here!!! Good lord can this man play!!!, even as an old man he is just scary good. I dig your channel fellas, you guys certainly are a bunch of for REAL ,good dudes !! I could for sure hang with you guys listening to some pure Old School, rock and roll and blues musicians like BB King ,Eric Clapton and the Allman Brothers to name a few!! Keep up the great work guys!! I look forward to you videos everyday!! What I like best about your channel is when I do watch it,I feel like I am hanging out with you guys!!

Damn. Never seen this particular live version of this song. Thanks for sharing this. Much Love from Brooklyn.

This made me smile. I have listened to some BB King throughout the years. He's a great performer and can sang the blues.

I saw BB several times live...so proud to have witnessed this LEGEND on stage

This is REAL R&B. True artistry. Not the stuff they call R&B now.

One of the BEST artists EVER! Thanks y’all! ❤️

Greatest blues guitarist ever!

You guys are great - you should take up music, form a band and document the whole thing!

Absolute legend. Watch his duet with Eric Clapton, it's insanely good..

TO KNOW BEING AMERICAN IS TO KNOW THE BLUES; and the Hero's who show us the love of hearts and the beautiful pain it gives. ( If you can't see this SUPERSTAR's playing of feelings. Each few notes is a sentence, Wows me everyday.

I like so much the energy, the words he used and the way in which Tahj (with the additional info from Brock 👏) shared with us his knowledge about Elvis and BB King!! 🤗🤗 What makes it even more beautiful is the complete absence of the "Look at me, look how knowleageable l am!" 😁 attitude in his and Brock's behaviour. Beautifully done, guys! 👏

HIS MAINSTREAM 'HIT' PIECE WAS 'THE THRILL IS GONE' ... BUT HAD MANY CLASSICS, INCLUDING WITH ERIC CLAPTON

Y’all please do John Mayer and BB live!! They go back and forth and funny as hell in between! Guitar legends

Solomon - always love your reactions. Very expressive. Keep on rockin'. Grandma from 🇬🇧.

Growing up in the 60’s-70’s it just didn’t get any better than this.

OMG how is this the first time you’re hearing B.B. King? What about Robert Johnson? If you don’t know Robert you need to educate yourself.

I had the extreme pleasure of seeing BB live. Holy cow. He is fantastic. What a show. He can play the blues better than anyone.

B.B. The King 🌟... Exquisite performance by all there, and great audience too, which just enhances everything. 🌟

Great reaction! Thanks for keeping great music alive!

You guys are awesome!! I listen to you every day!

BB King is what good music is all about it just makes you smile every time you hear it it fills your soul with fire.. That’s what real music does.

Amazing talent. Smooth. He is missed, no one could bring the blues like he did. I was lucky enough to meet him. Such a nice gentleman.

This is legendary. Rest in peace Mr bb king...

Wish you could have heard him live. He was the best. Enjoy, guys! 💚💚💚

B.B. King, my favorite of the three kings of blues: thanks for posting this for us. Wonder what your review or reaction to B.B. King and Albert Collins track "Stormy Monday" will be. IMHO the best track of Stormy Monday is the one B.B. does with Albert.🙂 BTW, mention was made of B.B. King and Stevie Ray Vaughn(SRV). King said of SRV: "'ve said that playing the blues is like having to be black twice. Stevie Ray Vaughan missed on both counts, but I never noticed." Both King and SRV were such passionate musicians (and remarkably good vocalist too!) the would close their eyes and seem to be channeling the music ... never lost on the fretboard. I would recommend Texas Flood by Vaughn for a reaction ... think you'll see why King spoke so highly of him!

Good to see the young G’s paying respect to the OG’s. BB King is an OG and a legend. A lot of rock n’ roll legends credit BB as their OG. Buddy Guy, Muddy Waters and so many other Blues legends pathed the way. I like Sweet 16 by BB King, and Tin Pan Alley by Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix has a lot of good blues covers like Hear My Train Coming

You guys are great! You know good music when you hear it! I was a radio host for a couple years, metal shows were easy to put together, but I also wanted a blues show, so I tried it and took a liking to it, know I write metal with a lot of blues influence and I love it! I play it on the street, and everyone seems to love it, but B.B was a big influence on me!

Omg this bb king is just soooo legendary thx for reminding me. I used to love this growing up

Thanks 4 the memories

simply AMAZING. Always feeds my soul...

You guys are getting pretty good at this, and you are keeping it civil thumbs up 👍 again

Pure Class RIP B.B. thanks for carrying the torch!

Great reaction again guys .. Comedy..'Whos on first "...it's the best one .baseball

My mother loved that man. We played To know you is to love you at her memorial service. They will always remind me of each other. Good reaction, fella's. Thanks.

Hey guys, I grew up in Memphis. BB lived and played around there alot. He played Beale St with all the blues guys when he was young and skinny, Lol. He opened his first club on Beale St. BB stands for Blues Boy he got the name when he was young on Beale St. Elvis would go play with all the guys when he was in high school. Elvis and BB knew each other since they were young men. I have had the honor on seeing BB and alot of the old blues greats at the Bealse st music fest they have the first of May every yr And in the clubs on Beale. Nobody like BB and "Lucille ". Unfortunately Most of the greats have passed in the last 10/20 yrs. Memphis is the home Of the Blues. If you want some R&B listen to some Stax music from Memphis . Any will do. Otis Redding, Sam & Dave , Staples, so many to name. GREAT Music. Love your site. Peace.

BB King is 1 of my favorite blues artist. A legend in Blues who started them all...

Love me some BB King!So smooth! He makes you feel it in your soul!

Check out B.B. King "live in Africa" 1974. Title song "Why I sing the blues". He was in his prime and at his best. Enjoyed the reaction. 👍👍

Saw BB King live in concert. One of the best blues concerts I saw ever! I’ll play this on 7/19/23 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin!
