B.B. King, 30 June 1996

Royal Albert Hall, London
30 June 1996

Support act -Big Joe Turner's Memphis Blues Caravan

Only 19 minutes. This was still back in the days when I tried to fit everything on one tape. To preserve as much as possibe of the B.B. King session, I flipped the tape and overwrote some of the BJT stuff.

The history of the blues has seen more than one "Big Joe Turner". This one was a bass player who had worked with B.B. King amongst others. Sadly he is no longer with us. For more information see: http://www.joeturnerblues.com/history.htm



I don't have the complete line-up, but from contemporary accounts I have found, I think the vocalist must be Eugene "Hideaway" Bridges
