B.B. King Tickets

There were a lot of cons for me in this show: - Opening act was "OK", couldn't sing, played average - The seats in the Comerica remind me of an airplane. No leg room or elbow room. - B.B. King came out around 9pm. His band is fantastic, He is fantastic but be warned. He talks ALOT which is fine but he took about half an hour introducing the band (sometimes twice) and he would only sing a few lines of each song. He still has it as far as playing the guitar and singing just realize he is 89 years old. I guess that's why at 1030pm the lights came up and his band told him it was time to go, in the middle of playing!!! He wanted to go on but they cut it off. Just weird!

BB king was great a legend of course Amish was unbelievable . Great guitarist and song writer.

BB King was as good this time around as he always has been. What a wonderful entertainer. 89 looks good on him.

I respect the man as a musician and what he has done in the past, but when he is mentally not into a show and cant hit chords, it is time for him to retire. I am ok with going there, I wanted my wife to see him but he is clearly unable to put on a decent show any longer. Retire and enjoy what's left of your life.

The man had a good run. This sho was embarrassing. His band is awesome, but unfortunately he has left his ability to perform. Happens to everyone sooner or later. God Bless The King.

Grading on the curve of "almost 90 year-old music legends who still tour", it was a solid B+/A-. Grading on the regular curve... his band was really good: great keyboards, great bass, amazing horns, especially the trumpet player. King can still play, and he can still sing. The genius is evident. Unfortunately, much of the time it seemed like the genius had wandered into the room and then forgot what it was doing there. He took the stage fairly late, and by the time his people decided it was time for him to call it a night, I'm not sure he had done much more than an hour. Many of the "tracks" were long, meandering versions with the band moving things along the best they could and King knocking out a few key chords or verses here and there along the way. It's a good thing jazz and blues musicians are all about riffing and improv. At least I got to see him do The Thrill is Gone, and that was one of the more coherent/cohesive tracks. Sadly, the title seemed all too apropos. Hey - I just hope that if I live to be 89 I can remember my own name. The scene at the end of the show was moving: half of the audience crowded the stage to take pictures of him, because, right or wrong, there was a very palpable sense that he might not have much time left. The harmonica player for the opening act (a local blues trio, Stoney B Blues - YMMV) was amazing, and the lounge band after the show while I waited for traffic to clear out was actually really good, too. I understand why they need to do it, but when the venue binds all the seats together with ZipTies, it makes for REALLY close quarters - uncomfortably close. The view was very good. The audio engineer had Lucille turned up WAY too high, and King's crates kept rattling and buzzing - not the good way. You could get lucky, and you might get B.B. on an "ON" night. If you've seen him, you probably don't want to remember him this way. If you haven't, you probably still don't want to remember him this way.

The opening act did four (4) songs in all taking approximately 40 minutes. Afterward we had to wait one (1) hour before B.B. King showed up. He did four (4) songs, introductions and monologue for one and one half hours. Not worth what I paid for this concert.

It was really, really sad....BB King is 88 years old and shouldn't be attempting to perform. He's very frail needing assistance to get on and off the stage. He didn't even sing 1 song all the way through. It seemed as if he was confused as to where he was.

After 30 minutes, 35% of the audience had already leave the concert, bb king forgot the words, had no idea with the notes from his guitar and was not able to stand to the idol we were used to see. It is not his fault, he should be resting on his home and not doing an uncomfortable presentation for his fans. It was a very sad situation for myself. Humphrey’s should check this kind of situations before selling expensive tickets to loyal people who believe in quality and responsible organizers.

Very, very sad. I was so excited to see The King of Blues. Unfortunately the show was extremely disappointing. He was an hour late to the stage. He rambled, forgot to introduce all of the band. So sad to see a great performer lose the magic

I'm sad to say B.B. King should not be touring anymore. This was my first & only B.B King concert and I hoped to catch a glimpse of the talented artist we all know & love but he clearly did not have it together. His mind wandered, he played off key and pleaded with band members to fill-in when he simply couldn't continue. This was not the concert I was hoping to see. Don't waste your money, you really don't want to remember a great artist this way.

Started after waiting 1.5 hrs. Good to see him, his voice was strong, but he could not play his guitar. It is a shame to see him that way. To hear he has performed 80 time already this year indicates to me someone is taking advantage of his fame. Bottom line: sad and uncomfortable for all. Many left early.

First off he was over 1 hour late. The concert seemed more like a practice jam session. The band seemed unsure of what B.B. was trying to do. No encore. No Lucille.

I would not recommend this concert. Be careful there us no seating with your purchase. No enough space as everyone is packed in. Concert states 7 pm did not start until 8 or so. The band the was only so so. By almost 9 pm BB king had still not performed. Be aware of bringing anyone handicap very difficult for them to see anything. I would not purchase tickets for this type of situation. Read all fine print...I don't believe the event was any where near the price of over $240.00. This is the very first time every giving this type of poor rating for a concert.

BB KING WAS TOTALLY AWESOME. EVEN THOUGH HE WAS LATE HE PUT ON AN AWESOME SHOW!!! VERY NICE VENUE.

I was in town for a convention and I thought it would be great to see someone my parents introduced me to. I'm very glad I heard him play and the venue was very romantic and sexy .

Great stage sound. Awesome dinner and hotel suite....included!

Extremely disappointed. Left after second number. Poor!!!!!!

BB King is a legend but it is time for him to retired. It was a sad show .

I feel Horrible about making this post, but the show was not good. BB does not look well and it was very difficult to sit and watch a legend have such a hard time. He was a half hour late of taking the stage. He did not really sing much or play much. It almost looks like he is being pushed up there to perform. He has been doing it for so long, maybe he wants to keep going, not sure. Please do not take this as a knock on BB, he is a legend. He will be 89 years old in about 3 weeks and I do realize how hard it must be for him to perform. It was just very very difficult to see an idol of mine have such difficulties up there. I guess Im more disappointed of the people to would charge $85.00 a ticket and a night of hotel for this event. I have never been to a show where so many people walked out. You could feel everyones uncomfortable feeling throughout the crowd. I wanted my money back, but I felt if I asked I would be disrespecting BB.
