 brings the best of his live material to one place May 31, 2005
tupac wayne gacy (tha baghdad basement)
I was stunned and very happy to find this live "best of" set, when I had been debating about which of BB's many classic live albums I should get (all I knew was that "live at the regal" and "cook county jail" are essential). Well I picked this up, and it is truly a marvelous collection of what I consider his best stuff. With this collection, I don't need to buy all of the live albums, I can have the good stuff confined to 2 discs. I recommend this to any music fan as an essential collection of the greatest living guitarist and blues singer today. It is truly a complete collection that is well worth the listen.
 Live collection? October 27, 2002
Luciano Ribeiro Sobral (Sao Paulo, Brazil)
All the best live albuns are those which brings a complete show, with something special and different from a studio recording (B.B. King recorded two historic live albuns, "Live In Cook County Jail" and "Live at Regal"). This is why a collection of live recordings sounds a little bit strange. But we are talking about B.B. King, a legend of music and a great entertainer, and this album brings a good sample of his energy and charism in stage. This album covers a wide range of years in King's career, and it's a good introduction for those who are starting to appreciate blues.

Unbelievably scorching 2CD set of the best live blues you're likely to hear in your entire life--as most of the other reviewers allude to, the first CD is the killer; ostensibly because it covers B.B.'s early years.It's especially useful for those of us who don't fancy the idea of buying every single one of his live albums due to limited budgets, and it's equally useful in a 'greatest hits-live' notion. The second disc suffers a bit by comparison--the duets come off as novelty status at best, but that doesn't mean B.B. isn't phenomenal for his part. Check out 'Sweet Little Angel', 'Don't Answer the Door', and 'Worry, Worry' for a classic blues primer.
Classic BB.. Superb collection of blues by the King ! December 2, 2000
Kersi Von Zerububbel (San Diego, CA USA)

This 2-CD set is full of classic blues numbers performed exquisitely by BB. All performances are live and that adds to the excitement and sheer beauty of the music. Every number, on both CDs are worth listening to. Most of the music, specially on CD one, is superb. Stuff like, "Sweet Little Angel", "Buzz Me", and "Baby Get Lost" evoke sheer joy. The number two CD is not quite as good as the first simply because there are duets with other artists. However, if you want to listen to great blues music and sample the work of an American great don't hesitate to get this set.
B.B.'s at his best live. This is the best of him live. Enjoy May 2, 2000
This is great big band B.B. The classics, like Chains and Things and The Thrill is Gone, are a little heavier than their studio counterparts, and they sound great. But an even better argument in favor of this two-disc set is that there isn't one bad song. Some are better than others, but they're all good.Great for B.B. fans, spectacular for those that want to be. Enjoy.
