Oh, man. This could easily be merged into that Chuck Berry thread from the other day. I love BB King, he's one of my favourite musicians ever, but I wish he'd just retire. Surely no-one wants to see him in this state.

Well, the article is obviously writen just for the sake of writing an article. Even the photo is obviously taken from the audience YouTube video posted above (the first second).
It tries to make a scandalous story out of nothing, it doesn't say pretty much anything. The description of the gig sounds like a normal BB show as it has been for the past few years. When I saw BB two or three years ago it was definitely not the best show ever but it had its moments that made it very much worth it. Judging from the Youtube video the "scandalous" show was pretty much a normal gig and I seriously doubt that "fans walked out during the 88-year-old blues legend's erratic gig." I bet that one or two people went to the bathroom and here we have a scandalous story craving for an attention. I don't see anything wrong with the YouTube clip, except that it unfortunately starts with a long band introduction.
When I saw the first post, I was really affraid that something bad happend to BB. Thanks God it is not the case. Long live BB, we love you!

Are you kidding me?
B.B can still play and CB can´t at all.
It´s impossible to compare the clip above with recent clips of Chuck playing like a three year old and totally out of key.

I stopped seeing him (or Johnny Winter) and many others Jeff Beck ZZ Top (including the Stones) because for me the magic is gone. just my opinion

I watched the BB-video, and couldn't find anything wrong with the gig
He still plays beautifully.

When I will be 80, I wish I could play the guitar like BB King does in the video above.
