That's "together for the first time" on disc, of course. Bland and King have shared stages since the '50s, when they were both members of the Beale Streeters, the legendary Memphis blues commune. In any case, this 1974 concert catches both artists at the peak of their game, recorded (with a nice sense of inside-the-band intimacy) in front of an extremely appreciative audience. Highpoints include a terrific call-and-response duet between the two stars on Bland's signature "That's the Way Love Is," and a riveting, can-you-top-this version of "3 O'Clock Blues," which features stinging guitar work by King and some of Bland's most impassioned singing ever.
Q (2/93, p.87) - 3 Stars - Good - "...the onstage pleasure they get from each other's music adds excitement and that extra spark..."
Mojo (Publisher) (12/00, p.64) - "...A fine representation of [his] stage persona in the company of long-time friend and performing peer, B.B. King."
Personnel includes: Melvin Jackson, Sonny Freeman, Mel Brown, Ben Benay, Milton Hopkins, Joseph Burton, Ron Levy, Cato Walker, Louis Hubert, Bobby Forte, Edward Rowe, Wilbert Freeman, Charles Polk, Tommy Punkson, Harold Potier, Jr., Theodore Arthur, Theodore Reynolds, Leo Penn, Joseph Hardin, Jr., Alfred Thomas, Michael Omartian.
I'm sorry

@dejancucin11
Where can i find more of this kind of performance, with audience laughing and singers telling a story and singing ? Its soo good.
@ravnmavn
They don't make this kind of music anymore because it humbles folks. They don't want people focusing on the good things in life! They like our depression our anxiety and worry and our fear! This kind of music doesn't serve the nefarious powers-that-be! 🤷🏾♀️ They don't want people to have hope!
