Movie Reviews of B.B. King - Live by Request
Movie Review: B.B's the King forever
Summary: 5 Stars
Let's clear the air on some issues: B.B. King is not the best guitar player in the world. He can't sing and play at the same time--and he has said so.
But what he does so well--and what makes him a musical and national legend--is that he has SUCH control of his rapport with his audience, his band, and his phrasing. I've NEVER seen anyone wiggle that much vibrato so effortlessly out of a string as B.B. does. Furthermore, he has a wonderful bullhorn of a voice that just comes up from the depths of that large belly (yes, B.B., you're round like a prize pumpkin), but he uses his singing to caress and grind as necessary. He's 80 years old now, and for what it's worth, if vocal cord muscles were a sign of strength and manhood, he's as much a stud as ever. You can see his eyes are getting a bit rheumy, but there's wisdom in them. And he's as charming a storyteller as you'd want to hear.
Musically, he just holds command like royalty up there in that chair--and the band is tight-tight-tight as the slightest quiver of Lucille's strings tell them where and how to go. And friends--the man has the world of musicians to call on when he wants them. This time, he's pulled the fiery Jeff Beck up onstage, and for the simple price of this disc, the camera followed where it should. Beck's thumbnail picking and riffing are an invaluable lesson in themselves for anyone who's tried to learn lead lines with a blues touch. You might have to remind someone who's watching this that when the show's over, they can close their mouth and get over the awe of the show. But don't blame them for being so blown away: when B.B. King and friends like Jeff take on something like a request night, the thrill will never be gone.
