2.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't do justice to the guitarist., December 30, 2002

I've seen BB King at Winterland, San Francisco; Paul Masson Vineyards in Saratoga; and at the Catalyst in Santa Cruz. He is a wonderful entertainer. However, this is a poor knock-off album. It sounds like someone recorded these songs separately off the radio.

Hey these are old, live recordings. A mish-mash of decades it seems, but older. The original recordings just weren't that great in the first place, but they cleaned most of them up pretty well. Think Robert Johnson-type quality. I only wish we knew when/where the songs were recorded. The music sounds great to me. Like I'm almost there. Thrill is Gone is especially powerful and jammy.

Don't buy for sound quality, buy for authenticity.
