Default BB King- The Life of Riley

A new documentary BB King- The Life of Riley was screened on BBC4 last night Wonderful stuff It didn't skip over the tough early years and a little later when he was a tractor driver on a plantation (I won't spoil it for you all !

It featured Peter (too briefly )and many others interviews - Clapton ,Buddy Guy Mick Taylor,other Rolling Stones, Bono etc

It is repeated on BBC4 this Sunday night No idea if non UK residents can access it on i-player(it will be on there for 7 days probably )

but NB it's long- well over one and a half hours There are some great interviews withh BB himself of course !

Blues power !

Yes it was (it was new to me anyway) recorded specially for this documentary I assume He was talking about BB's vibrato technique in one brief section and I think there were two other clips involving Peter

You can watch the documentary online one the link below.
It's great, but as THD said, it's rather loooong.
Peter can be seen at 62 min and 70 min, where the British blues is in focus. From around 70 min to 80 min Fleetwood Mac's version of "Need Your Love So Bad" is played a lot in the background.
