   Roberto, i didn’t stay for the whole show, so i can only comment that, in general, i like more smokin’ music and less talkin’. i have to add, though, that i enjoyed listening to King’s stories — it gave you a real sense of his personality.

   I heard differing opinions on the concert, depending on whether the concert-goer was a musician or not (this from a guitarist friend):

   "I’ll have to say that BB was just OK. About 2/3 into the show he sent
   the horn section off and played as a 5 piece (2 guitars, bass, drums and
   keys). There were a few moments during that section that were pretty
   smokin’, but overall….there was too much talking from BB. He
   (seriously) talked as much as he played."

   My boss (non-musician) loved the stories, and was pleased that it was more of a music/story-telling gig!

   What’s your take, Ash?
