BB King, Al Green, and Buddy Guy

On Tuesday evening, I went to see BB King, Al Green, and Buddy Guy play at Deer Valley. This was my first blues concert and it was amazing! I bought the tickets for my mom for her birthday (which was yesterday).


The evening started out with Buddy Guy, who is hilarious and an amazing guitar player.





We had a pretty awesome seats, too!


To start out, the crowd was mostly sitting down. If you're from PC, you know that the crowd just needs to get a little boozed up before they can really go all out. Buddy got everyone excited by walking through the crowd.



This is probably one of the best pictures of the night. Buddy Guy in the sea of white. Only in Utah.

By the time Buddy got back to stage everyone was on their feet!


Next up: The Reverand Al Green!




Al's performance was amazing. He had backup singers and dancers. He played most of his famous songs, and what a great performer! He had everyone on their feet dancing!


Finally, at the end of the night, BB King!


BB is 84 years old and still touring around the world. He was wheeled up on the stage to a standing ovation and loud cheering. He sat down in his chair and strapped Lucille around his shoulders.


BB did a lot of talking and not a whole lot of singing, but when he played Lucille it sent chills down my spine. At 84 years old, BB King still has it!
