Recorded live at the Apollo Theater, New York, New York on November 10, 1990. Includes liner notes by Andrew Whist.
If you've seen B.B. King in concert, you know that his sense of showmanship in virtually unmatched. LIVE AT THE APOLLO captures every ounce of the distinct flair and finesse that the world has come to expect from this constantly-touring blues legend. With the Philip Morris Superband as his swinging sidekicks, B.B. sinks his tight, string-bending bite into ten immaculately arranged tracks, including such classics as "The Thrill Is Gone," "Paying The Cost To Be The Boss," and "Ain't Nobody's Bizness." And while recent times have seen B.B. do more singing than string-bending, this set showcases him in top form with plenty of his signature vibrato-laden, jazz-blues leads.
Other notable cuts include B.B.'s remake of "When Love Comes To Town," which he performed with U2 on their 1988 RATTLE AND HUM album. Here, B.B. takes the song to another level. It's the album's opening track, and within forty-five seconds of its brassy Chicago-style intro, B.B. already has the audience in the palm of his hand, doing "yeah-yeah-yeah" call and responses. And once the tune gets going with full-on horn arrangements, barrelhouse piano, dizzying trumpets flying overhead and killer tenor sax and guitar solos, you just might say "U who?"
