This is a very nice sounding set of soundboard recordings from B.B. King at the legendary Fillmore East. I intended on posting this tribute to The King Of The Blues earlier but the Filefactory snafu made me run a little late. I couldn't think of a better tribute, from my collection, than this pair of shows. I've kicked this set out quite often in my car on the way to work. I can't get enough of it, and highly recommend it. It has a nice clean sound for a 1971 soundboard.

    Thanks! These are great soundboards from the last shows at the old Fillmore East. Moby Grape was the opening act. Would love to find a soundboard of their show too. RIP BB!

    He was an American treasure. Great tone, wonderful vibrato. He kept playing, right up to the very end.

    A performer I never got to see, don't understand why seeing how much he toured. Thankfully the is no shortage of bootlegs out there for those of us who didn't see him.

    Saw B.B. on several occasions. 1st show was at the Cater Barron in DC 1977 with the Nighthawks. Several Wolf Trap shows and a fine show with Bobby Blue Bland at the Warner Theater in DC March 1995. Always put on a great show! Known for his guitar, but the man could sing! Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to hearing them.

    You're welcome Camarillo Brillo hope you like it. And to anonymous I unfortunately do not know if the Moby Grape soundboard exists or not.

    Dave: The Late FLAC and Early MP3 links are dead. Is it possible to re-up them?

    All the best!
