There is a story Stevie Ray Vaughan’s band guys tell. He was scheduled to play I think Red Rocks. When he, Stevie, arrived he saw he was first billing Bb King second. Stevie they say was mortified
Told his promoters don’t ever put me before BB King
Twice I saw BB King perform live... around 20-25 years ago. BB King and every performer on stage with him were great. A relative who’s a musician talked with Mr. King backstage once, and he said Mr. King is a real nice guy, too.
(I also loved SRV, but never saw him live.)
This is sacred ground.
Godspeed, BB. RIP SRV. Much love.
