I saw him play near my hometown - Louisville, KY... He's so good. Definitely go if you're into blues music at all.

I saw him on His b-day in Minnesota, then I got to meet him after the concert, it was for a charity funtion that my dad is apart of, and BB really thinks what the charity does is good, so he came and played, it was awsome, the man played for 2 and a half hours, and he was funny too

BB is good even if you don't like blues, I don't think anyone dislike bb king. They shouldn't dislike him at least.

Hmmm...I'm probably going to get hated on for this...But BB isnt THAT good. He is kind of just the gateway into blues that is between mainstream and people who are really into blues. For people who ARE really into blues, there are better (not just skill, but also style and tone) guitarists to listen to.

well last night i saw him. the bass and back up guitar were rediculous but the main band and bb werent the best performers i've heard. BB however was an incredible performer and was amazing to see. i definitly suggest seeing him if you have the chance

I saw blues boy when he came to Toronto. It was an amazing show, i have a whole new appreciation for blues guitar now. Kenny Wayne Sheppard opened for him and I wouldve payed $100 just to see that! he played voodoo child-jimi hendrix note for note solo'd behind his head and everything.

KENNY WAYNE IS GOD
