Product Details

The Apollo Theater and B.B. King were made for each other, two institutions that shaped American music from the same side of the cultural divide. By 1991, King had been carrying the blues to audiences who'd never considered themselves blues fans for decades, a ambassador's role he wore without complaint and played with everything he had every single night.

LIVE AT THE APOLLO is a straight reissue of a famed 1990 recording by blues guitar master B.B. King at Harlem's famed Apollo Theater. Opening with a gospel-tinged take on U2's "When Love Comes To Town," the set features nine of King's most beloved songs, including his signature song, "The Thrill Is Gone." Backed by an 18-piece big band, King sings and plays at his most impassioned throughout.
