Review from the concert:

"King pivots almost mid-phrase and shifts the band into the quintessential blues standard “The Thrill is Gone.” The number is abbreviated to allow time for a joyous finale. Derek Trucks (who King refers to only as “Trucks”), Susan Tedeschi and yes, John Mayer all come out and take a seat for an extended and loose jam on “Guess Who.” King quips to Mayer, “It’s a good thing I’m a boy. Because if I were a girl when you played like that…” Mayer, Tedeschi and Trucks all take several lead breaks at King’s insistence. Trucks shines through the most with his daunting level of technique. Being present for this feels like witnessing first-hand an important moment in musical history. The past and present united in a simple, fun evening. It’s hard to imagine a world without B.B. King, and here’s to hoping we won’t know a world without his playful, soulful spirit."
