I have been eager to go see the two legends of blues play together however, while Buddy Guy entertained the crowd with a few of his songs and acts, BB King, who came on the stage after Buddy left (they do not play together), was doing little more than talking about Viagra and other personal stories. Of the whole time he was on stage, seating, he talked for at least 70 or 80% of the time without playing his guitar! People started leaving the hall by the dozens fed up and bored. Save your $ and go see some younger emerging artists instead. The king is dead, long live the king. Collapse
