B.B King and friends Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The thrill is gone
The thrill is gone away
The thrill is gone baby
The thrill is gone away
You know you done me wrong baby
You'll be sorry someday

The thrill is gone
The thrill gone away from me
The thrill is gone baby
The thrill is gone away from me
Although, I'll still live on
But so lonely I'll be

The thrill is gone
The thrill away for good
All the thrill is gone baby
It's gone away for good
Someday I know I'll be open armed baby
Just like I know, I know I should

I'm free now baby
I'm free from your spell
Free, free, free now baby
Baby, I'm free from your spell
Now that it's all over
All that I can do is wish you well

The thrill is gone
The thrill is gone away for good
The thrill is gone baby
The thrill is gone away for good
You know you done me wrong baby
You'll be sorry someday

The thrill is gone




I'm free from your spell, baby
Yes, I'm free oh I'm free from your spell

Eric Clapton plays like a musician rather than a star. He always does. A real master.

4:56 Jimmi Vaughn just killed that improv man. He just managed to find the absolute perfect thing to play for that moment. Even Clapton played one hell of a solo. The beauty in Clapton’s solo lies in its fast pace and the way he used a mixture of high bends. Not to forget bb king and Robert clay who are timeless legends in their own right. Simply amazing.

He did, I'm really starting to appreciate his playing style and originality

Eric plays like a musician not like a star.

Jose Borjas

You got that right.!!

Hands vs Food

He was my fav of the bunch, with BB close behind but he took the cake imo.

Mike Honcho

Love hearing these legends play together.
During the solos you could close your eyes and know who’s playing the lead. Wish Stevie could have been there too
