This is a 1983 recording of the
B.B. King band playing live in Cannes, France. The
King show, which has not changed all that much in recent decades, is comprised of hits such as
"The Thrill Is Gone" (a decent live version, not turgid like some of the ones form the '90s),
"Payin the Cost to Be the Boss," a thirteen-minute band workout called
"Jam," a swinging hot reading of
Memphis Slim's
"Everyday I Have the Blues," and a deeper than blue read of
"All over Again," by
Carl Adams and
King. The sound is very good to excellent, and fans of the live
B.B. material will count this among the better latter-day sets he's issued.
