Really sad, As every time Ramblin Gamblin Man came on the radio, had to watch my speed as it got my foot to tapping on the gas pedal.
Since BB King was the headliner, could never figure out the pairing. Tough crowd,. the Beatles or Rolling Stones would have had a tough time with that crowd. They wanted Blues.
As I said, love Bob. We all have bad days, maybe it was just one of his.
Against the Wind is one of the greatest songs ever and this concert predated that.
About 4 years ago, I found a CD of BB Kings' set.
To paraphrase WC Fields, about Vaudeville, KC is the worst town to play. 'Farmers have seen fires, floods, cattle stampedes and tornadoes. After all that, everything is boring.'
That's why in the Movie International House, he insulted KCMO & KCKS. "I'm not lost, Kansas City is lost."
Hopefully Boob makes it back to town.
If you have never heard James McMurty (Alt Country), you have to hear him. Did the opening song for "Beer For MY Horses." "Strap those kids in the SUV, give them a shot of Benedrille and a Cherry Coke, we're going to Oklahoma, for the family reunion."
