Live at the Regal

Yes this ticks all the boxes, blues legend, great live album. Brilliant great energy and just a fun album.

Enjoyed this, but again nothing mind-blowing. I can appreciate his talent and how influential King must have been, but I just find this era or blues to be so same-y. I know that's kind of the point, but it's just not for me I guess!

12-bar blues doesn't do as much for me as free-form jazz does, but this is something special. Love both his vocal tone and the instrumentation. Was kind of limping towards the finish line, but the closing song brought it back to a 4 for me.

Upbeat blues is funny, opening track "nobody loves me, nobody cares" (oh yeah, woo!)

Good live album.

BB is so dynamic on this record. Its a lot closer to a rock and roll record. I have some room in my heart for the king of blues I guess.

Hyvää blues-menoa! Ei ihan neloseen yllä, mutta melkein.

Fantastic blues album. The fact that it is live adds to the recording. You can almost smell the cigarette smoke and whiskey. The cheers of the crowd, and the fantastic blues guitar playing make this an amazing listen!!

Favourite songs : it's my own fault, how blue can you get?, sweet little angel

Least favourite: worry, worry (if forced to pick one)

Easy 5/5

I've gotten quite a few blues-y type albums now, and I'm starting to warm up to it a bit more, so my new challenge is now overcoming the next threat: live albums. That's what makes this so complicated, I understand a singer can really put their all into a live performance to make it better than any studio recording (Frampton Comes Alive! springs to mind) but often these songs just aren't as good as something with no random audience members cheering the whole time or the usually less than optimal sound quality, but I will admit, despite what the number down below may seem like it says, I did enjoy the album. It's just when it comes to something like this it's hard for me to think too much of it, and the addition of blues, which I already struggle to decide if I like or not, makes it a bit more of a mixed bag for me. I can understand why this is considered one of the best live albums of all time, I just can't fully get into it.

I dig the blues and all but for some reason BB King never really did a whole lot for me. He's certainly a great showman and guitar player, and maybe that's my problem; that it comes across too slick and polished - even in a live setting.

Almost 60 years old, but you just get an immediate sense of BB King's power and what he was doing differently.

Decent album for what it is....I am just not a massive blues fan. Most of the songs sound too similar for my taste. BB is a GREAT singer though...really enjoy his voice. 2/5

Love his voice and his playing and I enjoyed this, but I think I get a lot more out of seeing video of him play than listening to a recording. Hearing the recording is still really good, but not the same as seeing him. I can only imagine what it was like to actually be there when he played.

Ouvindo BB king sem parar

Awesome, almost unfair that someone could be such a good singer AND guitarist.
Every day I have the blues, worry worry worry, and woke up this morning were the best songs

Not my favourite genre, but can appreciate that this guy is one of the legends and it being a live album makes it that little bit more special.

Oj, omöjligt att inte bli sugen på en rökig blues-bar i New Orleans eller Chicago när man hör detta!

No soy yo de mucho Blues ni de tanta guitarra. Suena bien para ser un directo y más aún pensando que es del año 1965. Lo mismo es un gran disco, pero yo no lo se apreciar en su justa medida.
