Whew, I'll tell you what...blues guitarist B.B. King, at 84 years old, keeps up with an ambitious tour schedule that would exhaust an artist a quarter of his age. King has announced new tour dates that will take he and his band well into 2010, the blues legend still touring in support of his award-winning 2008 album, One Kind Favor.
Fellow blues giant Buddy Guy, a guitarist of no little talent himself, will join King in February 2010 for a month of sure-to-be-sold-out dates. While King, performing by himself and backed by his top-notch band, is worth catching every time he blows through your town, the rare opportunity to witness King and Guy performing together is a night that nobody should pass up when they get a chance!

Won’t be going to any live shows with BB anymore. Ever since I saw him forget the words to one of his signature song. I decided I don’t want to seem like that anymore. I want to remember him when he was in his prime. I have a DVD from one of his tours that I will continue to watch till I pass.
Saw him in Chico, CA last night 11/18/09. He did two hours and didn’t miss a beat or a word. He kicked ass!
yo,he should so come to canada some time.
Who are the opening acts for April? I know we’re not getting Buddy Guy, but any word in who will be there?
