BB King
BB King in concert, Queens University, Belfast, Sunday 9th of December, 1990.
There was a support band on before him called The International Blues Band, who were playing all sorts of great music, Steely Dan, JJ Cale and others. They were worthy of seeing in their own right and I was wondering just how could BB be any better than they were. They finished. Out came BB's band. They started playing......no real improvement over the support. Then BB came across the stage, strapped in and played a single note, did the vibrato and held it........the place went wild. A concert hall full of BB converts. His tone, his vibrato, his presence were indeed unique.
