Live at San Quentin (CD - 1991)

Description

Personnel: B.B. King (vocals, guitar); Leon Warren (guitar); Walter King, Edgar Synigal (saxophone); James Bolden (trumpet); Eugene Carrier (keyboards); Michael Doster (bass); Calep Emphrey (drums).All selections recorded live at San Quentin Prison on May 25, 1990 except "Peace To The World".All tracks are digitally remastered.Much gutsier than the REGAL album, this is in harmony with the patrons as King plays to a different audience; the inmates of one of America's toughest prisons. King devotes a lot of his time every year performing to prisoners, and he coummunicates on this album without patronizing them. This is a fairly predictable set but the high level recording (presumably to block out any obscenities) makes it one of his most exciting live albums. Songs he has played a thousand times sound fresh and energetic, notably "Everyday I Have The Blues" and "Let The Good Times Roll."
