BB King

[Sam Crawley]

To me all this talk about the headliners pales into insignificance compared with the chance of seeing BB King. I can't afford to shell out for his other gigs, so am just praying that the Glasto-sized hole in his tour dates on Friday translates into an appearance on Jazz World. Does anyone know what the strength of the rumour is based on? Is it purely dates or something more?

Thanks Wooderson. To summarise from the other thread:

1. SR is purely a hunch based on the dates and the fact that ME loves Blues

2. Neil reckons mid afternoon slot on Jazz World, being too specialist for Pyramid.

Fingers crossed

I'll go see BB over practically anyone else. The man inspired Duane Allman for Chrissakes!!!!

[freehugs!]

cant say i know the music, but out of respect for people here giving him such praise, i may well give it a go on the day

[Wooderson]

Agreed. Even if Duane Allman was playing, I'd still go see BB King.

For BB to play the Friday, would mean he'd have to play 4 gigs in a row. Dunno if he'll do that at his age??!

It's not just Duane Allman he inspired, there's hardly any guitarist of the last fifty years, directly or indirectly, who hasn't been influenced by BB King.

Other goldie oldies who've played Glasto like Leonard Cohen may be great artists in their own right but the influence of BB King is immeasureable.
