I had seen B.B. King just about 10 years ago (which was awesome), however this show was incredible. It showed his humor as well as his boundless talent for both sharing his life experiences and making that guitar sing! Watching him was so moving to me it brought a tear to my eye and a smile to my face. I love you B.B. King!

Favorite moment: BB's shy eye covering when he told a naughty Viagra story. @
Opening act(s): None needed-his band did 2 solo's without BB & as his musicians are also top notch that's all that was needed. @

Each time I see BB he's better & better. Hard to believe he's 84! Music was top notch & his stories are so enjoyable. Bought his Christmas cd & must say his Xmas music is like none I've ever heard before. Can't say enough about his show-would go see him again tonight if I could. Too good for mere words!!!!

B.B. King is absolutely amazing! Even at 84 years old, he can still sing with an amazing strength and heart. No one plays quite like him, and it is obvious that even as he is approaching 85, he has no problem bending those guitar strings!

B B King is a legend. We had not been to see him before and as he was a major influence on my husbands musical career we felt it was time. He did not let us down. Even at the ripe old age of 84. His humor and love of the ladies makes him memorable in so many ways!
We had good seats in sec. D and my only complaint was no warm up band. B B played for under 2 hours which considering his age and health was great but for $80 a ticket I felt there should have been some other entertainment.

At 84 years of age, B. B. King is still a master showman, storyteller, and King of the Blues. This show felt less energetic than when I last saw B.B. play 12 years ago, partly because he sat in a chair for the whole show. B. B. has an incredibly soft touch with his guitar, Lucielle, the notes flowing as he simply passes his fingers over the strings.

It was a thrill to see BB King perform in person. He belted out song after song as only he can, he made his guitar wail in BB King tradition and he talked to a venue full of people as if it were just the two of you sitting together on a porch. It was a great night; however, there were considerations for the man being 84. While I was not surprised to see him seated for the entire performance, I was a little disappointed that he did not sing one song straight through. Each number was stopped early- to mid-score to talk some small talk or to feature each of the musicians in the band then after a few minutes he would finish the number. I particularly regretted that he didn't finish the final tune for the night, the classic "The Thrill is Gone". Regardless, I never had the opportunity to see BB King in years past, but I am very happy to have seen him Saturday. To hear that voice and that guitar live was defintiely a treat. BB proved he still is the "King" of blues.

I last saw B.B. about twenty years ago in Redondo Beach and his voice and guitar work were still strong. But how does he get even better at age 84? I took by 15 year old daughter (and his biggest fan) so she could see a legend before it was too late, and hoped she would not be disappointed. She was so happy when he started playing and singing and telling stories that I thought she was going to cry. She said it was the best two hours of her life. And she'll be able to tell about seeing him 80 years from now when maybe he's finally paseed on. But I wouldn't bet on it.

This man is amazing. At 84 years of age, he's still the best entertainer around. The music he loves comes through in his playing, singing and expressions. If it were possible, I'd watch him in concert every day!

Our seats were great, although there wasn't a seat in the house that could be bad. Close to the stage, the sound was amazing and BB King performed better than I ever imagined. If he comes through again, definitely not a show to be missed!

Favorite moment: The one liner he shot at the lady who yelled that BB should tell her husband how pretty she was- "As pretty as you are, you husband must be drunk!" @
Setlist: If you go see the KING of the blues play what might be his last tour do you really care what the set list is gonna be? Yes they played The Thrill is Gone. @
Opening act(s): none, the band jamed for about 10 min and then BB Kind came out and played for about and hour and a half @

I wasn't sure what to expect since he's 84 and some would say "past his prime". LET ME TELL YOU this guy does not "peak". He must just keep getting better and better. He sang like he always has and his wit and humor was just as sharp as ever. His guitar was a little sparce or minimalist but just when I'd be thinking that to my self he shread into a riff and just melt my blues away. He's still got his chops, and then some. I hope i'm doing half as well at 84. And the band was awsome too.

B.B. King's shows are not just a concert, they're an evening of pure entertainment with a legend who loves to play to the crowd. This was my third time and I'll keep showing up for as long as he does. And, it's not only B.B. - his band is filled with talented musicians who love to play for the King.
While I'm at it, may I plug the Snoqualmie Casino as well. It's among my favorite indoor venues in the PNW.

At 84 years I expected BB to have lost at least some of his voice. Not so! The King can hit all the notes. And his guitar playing was fabulous. To be doing what you love at 84, amazing. If I have the chance again to see him perform, I'll be in the front row.

Waited my whole life to finally see BB King live and I was not disappointed. BB is a class act and entertainer, as well as his band. Snoqualmie Casino is a very small event center which makes is so nice to be close to the performer. Wish Snoqualmie was better at herding rude and overserved customers, but it wasn't too terrible. There was a bit of a feedback issue during the concert, due to such a small facility or set up. Overall, I'm so glad I got to see BB King and his band live, and I'm extremely happy I got to see them on a smaller stage. WONDERFUL date night!

Cover group was great. BB was gracious and great, a real treat to see him. Great horns and sax, and great rapor with the audience from BB. I sure would have liked to hear more of the legendry guitar., I think he talked about Lucille more than he played her.

BB was great. Seats were too close together and we couldn't see at all. The casino was stinky with cigarette smoke and the elevator was packed. But again, BB was amazing. He is the king. Great band. The only nice thing for the venue was ample parking and a small venue.
