One of BB's weakest sets,
This review is from: Live at San Quentin (Audio CD)
It's not BB;s fault, his singing and playing are faultless on the cd. It seems the jailbirds weren't too receptive to the blues legend and that the material(not all of it) and backup band sound dated. Afful songs like Into The Night, are terribly dated soundubng today. BB however sounds great on Sweet Little Angel, Sweet sixteen, and a few others. all bb performances have value, but try others before this, if this cd were a pizza it would be a regular pepperoni pizza from a chain pizza restaurant. ok

One of B.B.'s Best!!!!,
By Adam E. Maroney "Nighttripper" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Live at San Quentin (Audio CD)
B.B.'s live set, "Live At San Quentin," is, perhaps, one of his all time best album releases. From start to finish, he makes you laugh, cry, and boogie, all the while educating you as to what blues truly are, and that lesson being that they are not just weepy, depressing songs, but that they can be both happy and sad. When listening to "Live At San Quentin," it is uplifting to know that B.B. was bringing sunshine into the ordinary dreariness of prison life that his "captive audience" experienced daily. He did not need to remind them of their plight by delving into long, depressing sets and acting the part of a half-hearted rebel pretending to fully understand their situation. I highly recommend this CD to anyone who loves B.B. King's music, anyone who is a casual fan of B.B. and blues music, to anyone who is an uninitiated blues listener, or any music lovers, in general. This is a first class masterpiece!

Pure Blues Fun,
By Tatyana Logan - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Live at San Quentin (Audio CD)
Is there any doubt B.B. King has the sweetest sounding vibrato in blues history? "Live at San Quentin" is a tribute to B.B.'s greatness as a guitar hero and to his ability to entertain. If you can keep an unruly batch of inmates entertained, you must be doing something right. From "Let the Good Times Roll" to "Rock Me Baby," B.B. King shows here that he can make the blues fun- fast or slow.

Live fun without the video!,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Live at San Quentin (Audio CD)
Now I must tell you that I am a B.B. King fan and rarely miss a concert. Any time I want to attend one of his concerts when he is not in town, I slide in this CD. Fun, great music, positive beat-you'd never know that it was recorded in a jail unless the periodic references to the warden. I love this CD because it has his great tunes, audience involvement and shows his caring side. I'd give 83 stars but it only goes to 5-oh well.
