#54. Live at the Regal | B.B. King (1965)

Whenever I think of B.B. King, I think back to working with Tami at the Limited Too in San Francisco. There was a song by B.B. on our tape one month and he was telling a story about meeting the Queen of England and he says "AREN'T you B.B. King?" Well, for some reason, Tami and I thought that was the funniest thing and still repeat to this day whenever we ask each other a question that begins with the word "aren't."

 

Needless to say, this album made me smile. I loved listening to his stories in the middle of his songs. And I finally got to hear the original song that is sampled in "Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth" by Primitive Radio Gods. It's called "How Blue Can You Get?" and there's a moment in the middle where it sounds like the audience is going to explode with enthusiasm!
