GREAT news! I almost saw him a few years ago, but missed it, and am stoked to see him at roo. Plus I'm sure he'll bring out a few guests, depending on who's around.
I always knew after the Buddy Guy/Bonnie Raitt appearences a few years ago that BB would be invited at some point in time.
I saw him close the Lightning In A Bottle show at Radio City a few years ago and although he only played a few shows he was the headliner and the patriarch of the blues obviously. He got so much respect. My father saw him a few months ago and said he has trouble playing long sets now and does more storytelling but he can still play the hell out of the guitar. Should be a great show
Saw B.B King in Atlanta at Chastain Park in 2006. Dr. John and The Neville Brothers opened for him. One of the best concerts I had seen ever. I will DEFINETLY be seeing B.B King at Bonnaroo.

ya, but he's a good storyteller too... and boy is he a dirty old man! It really brings a new meaning to going to a "show"... you get it all with the King.

My friends said he was handing out gold necklaces to girls in the front row. I dont know if he really was, but you are right. He loves women, women, women
And I'm super excited to see him play. And to see if he brings some cool friends (eric clapton, buddy guy, santana,john frusciante, jeff beck..). It says he is playing the 14th, which is saturday. So maybe late evening set like the roots were would be cool

sounds like as good a time as any to see the King... i'd rather see him saturday then sunday, when i'm kind of worn down and ready to sleep for 17 hours straight

OH WOW! This makes me so, so happy. I was just coming to the sad realization that I would not be able to see him live (not enough money right now to buy 80 dollar tix to see him in Knoxville), and then I see this. I absolutely love the blues, and being able to see the King of the Blues at Bonnaroo is a great opportunity. I'm sure he will put on a legendary show that will probably be the highlight of the festival for me. If Buddy Guy or any of the other blues greats pop up, I guarantee you it will be the highlight of the festival for me.
