B.B. King’s Live at the Regal is one of those “if I had a time machine…” concerts. “How Blue Can You Get?” is pure heartache that explodes in the bridge. His voice and the audience response to this section is sheer brilliance:

❝

I gave you a brand new Ford

❝

You said, “I want a Cadillac”

❝

I bought you a ten dollar dinner

❝

You said, “thanks for the snack”

❝

I let you live in my penthouse

❝

You said it was just a shack

❝

I gave you seven children

❝

And now you wanna give them back

B.B. was the king.
