43
00:03:28,074 --> 00:03:32,909
I've been off work six
weeks I think, in 41 years.
44
00:03:34,013 --> 00:03:36,538
That make me be either hungry...
45
00:03:36,616 --> 00:03:38,914
crazy, or in love with the music.
46
00:03:39,652 --> 00:03:40,983
So when you get back

00:04:30,603 --> 00:04:32,764
Memphis, Tennessee.

Chop cotton.Picked cotton.
55
00:04:52,358 --> 00:04:54,792
Then when I was a teenager,I was good.
56
00:04:55,428 --> 00:04:59,694
All the girls, you know,
said there's a tractor driver there.
57
00:05:00,133 --> 00:05:02,328
Yeah, I'm a tractor driver.
58
00:05:05,038 --> 00:05:08,530
Somebody knocking on my door

00:05:09,842 --> 00:05:13,005
Junior Parker and I, in1954, 55.
60
00:05:13,079 --> 00:05:16,446
We used to play a little club over
her side of this little hill in midnight.
61
00:05:19,585 --> 00:05:22,679
If you played it real good you
get two pieces of chicken.
62
00:05:24,023 --> 00:05:25,581
If you didn't play good,
you got one piece.
63
00:05:26,125 --> 00:05:28,593
If the man didn't like you at
all you didn't get anything, to eat.
64
00:05:29,929 --> 00:05:31,954
I'm so worried
65
00:05:32,465 --> 00:05:34,433
Don't know where to go
66
00:05:36,102 --> 00:05:38,366

Let me stand
103
00:08:47,159 --> 00:08:52,096
I guess as a plow boy,I was even at five miles per hour...
104
00:08:52,164 --> 00:08:53,563
working 12 hours a day...
105
00:08:53,633 --> 00:08:57,569
which is about 60 miles a day,about 6 days a week.
106
00:08:57,803 --> 00:09:00,431
I was thinking 16 yearsof doing that...
107
00:09:01,307 --> 00:09:05,573
I walked practically aroundthe world just a following a mule.
108
00:09:05,645 --> 00:09:08,705
Through the storm
109
00:09:09,181 --> 00:09:12,514

Coming to Memphis was likegoing to London or Paris.
116
00:09:35,808 --> 00:09:39,107
A lot of it was beyondmy wildest dream.
117
00:09:39,612 --> 00:09:41,477
To Lord
118
00:09:42,448 --> 00:09:44,416

Reach as many people as I can.
As many countries.
136
00:11:01,427 --> 00:11:02,451
In other words...
137
00:11:02,528 --> 00:11:06,828
I'd like the whole country hear
B.B. King sings and plays the Blues.
138
00:11:08,734 --> 00:11:11,328
If you let me love you
139
00:11:12,405 --> 00:11:14,873

I say I'd try to walk the waterBaby
145
00:11:43,302 --> 00:11:44,894
If you just let me love you
146
00:11:44,970 --> 00:11:49,100
The one and only B.B. King!
147
00:12:10,629 --> 00:12:14,087
Well, Mr. King, I bet you don't even
recognize this town anymore.
148
00:12:18,704 --> 00:12:21,639
I keep seeing so many
things that I haven't seen.
149
00:12:21,874 --> 00:12:24,172
Yeah, it's certainly
changed over the years.
150
00:12:27,313 --> 00:12:29,781
It's so nice to be
on Beale Street again.
151
00:12:49,835 --> 00:12:51,632
Now this is what they
did to Beale Street.
152
00:12:52,772 --> 00:12:55,434
They...
they destroyed Beale Street, man.
153
00:12:55,508 --> 00:12:58,306
Because you know it,
this was a fun spot.
154
00:12:58,711 --> 00:13:00,611
Beale street was a fun spot.
155
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:04,979
Clubs open all night long, every night,
to 5, 6 o'clock in the morning.
156
00:13:05,050 --> 00:13:07,610
And they wasn't all playing Blues
like they're playing now.
157
00:13:07,686 --> 00:13:10,985
They were playing a lot of jazz,
you go to some jazz clubs.
158
00:13:11,056 --> 00:13:14,355
But you see now
they got the loud guitar.
159
00:13:14,527 --> 00:13:16,154
You can't hear yourself think.
160
00:13:16,595 --> 00:13:18,825
Not talk,
you can't hear yourself think.
161
00:13:19,064 --> 00:13:22,033
Everybody playing the loud music.
Everybody.
162
00:13:24,303 --> 00:13:27,238
You ain't nothing but a hound dog
163
00:13:31,844 --> 00:13:33,744
Crying all the time
164
00:13:35,681 --> 00:13:38,650
There was maybe one or two guys playing,
not the whole army.
165
00:13:40,319 --> 00:13:42,344
Plus, they didn't play that loud.
No.
166
00:13:46,192 --> 00:13:49,093
There were houses all out here,
apartment buildings.
167
00:13:49,461 --> 00:13:51,156
Look what they did
put in a parking lot.
168
00:13:51,864 --> 00:13:53,388
It, it looks like somebody...
169
00:13:53,866 --> 00:13:56,061
got was got mad
at the place say...
170
00:13:56,135 --> 00:13:59,332
I'm gonna tear everything down
and put some cars in here.
171
00:13:59,405 --> 00:14:00,804
That's what it look like.
172
00:14:03,342 --> 00:14:04,502
That's great, isn't it?
173
00:14:05,411 --> 00:14:08,278
I see Bobby Bland,
I don't see no Rosco Gordon.
174
00:14:08,347 --> 00:14:09,245
Notes on...
175
00:14:10,249 --> 00:14:12,843
They didn't give me the kind
of attention I think I deserved.
176
00:14:19,458 --> 00:14:24,725
If you've never seen a chickenGirl, I'm gonna tease you out
177
00:14:25,798 --> 00:14:28,995
If you've never seen a chicken
178
00:14:29,068 --> 00:14:32,003
Girl, I'm gonna tease you out
179
00:14:33,806 --> 00:14:35,865
I'm gonna take with you
180
00:14:36,542 --> 00:14:39,170
Tell you what is all about
181
00:14:39,478 --> 00:14:43,005
This is a waste of time. I know
they won't have any, any of me in here.
182
00:14:46,252 --> 00:14:49,085
If they had this many records
in Europe in a store...
183
00:14:49,355 --> 00:14:52,813
they would have a whole section
of Rosco Gordon, everything he did.
184
00:14:54,460 --> 00:14:56,985
But see they're not too many
people in here, I know.
185
00:14:58,530 --> 00:14:59,656
Robert Goulet.
186
00:15:00,766 --> 00:15:01,698
I'm Rosco Gordon.
187
00:15:01,767 --> 00:15:03,166

00:15:03,235 --> 00:15:04,862

00:15:04,937 --> 00:15:05,665

- Ain't nothing like it. Is there?
- See, they put my name on the...
191
00:15:08,407 --> 00:15:10,136
All right! How about you?
192
00:15:10,209 --> 00:15:12,769
See, right. Right here.

00:15:12,845 --> 00:15:15,211
- I'm working tonight.
- Really? Where you gonna be at?
194
00:15:15,281 --> 00:15:17,476
Where...
where am I going to be? Let's see.
195
00:15:18,317 --> 00:15:19,807
Now, I...
196
00:15:19,885 --> 00:15:22,046
If somebody asked me where
am I working, I can say, uh?
197
00:15:22,121 --> 00:15:24,351
- Yeah, just tell them Young Avenue Deli.

198
00:15:24,423 --> 00:15:25,219

00:15:47,546 --> 00:15:50,447
Look, I'm supposed
to ask you where it is?
210
00:15:54,887 --> 00:15:57,481
Play with you,
it's Rosco Gordon.
211
00:15:58,223 --> 00:15:59,850
Yes, come for a good one.
212
00:16:00,726 --> 00:16:03,490
Hey, if you're looking forA good meal

The best darn meal in MemphisTennessee
216
00:16:18,711 --> 00:16:20,144
Hello, baby
217
00:16:22,748 --> 00:16:24,306
Had to call you
218
00:16:25,050 --> 00:16:27,416
On the phone
219
00:16:35,027 --> 00:16:36,756
Hello, baby
220
00:16:38,864 --> 00:16:40,422
Had to call you
221
00:16:41,500 --> 00:16:43,832
On the phone
222
00:16:44,403 --> 00:16:48,396
Beale Street was a havenfor the black man.
223
00:16:48,574 --> 00:16:50,838
They come up from the Delta...
224
00:16:51,110 --> 00:16:52,839
and got to Beale Street.
225
00:16:53,779 --> 00:16:56,509
Don't owe nobody...
226
00:16:56,582 --> 00:16:58,345
no nothing...
227
00:16:58,684 --> 00:17:01,380
everything in fact
it was heaven...
228
00:17:01,453 --> 00:17:05,719
it was heaven to these people
that came up. All black.
229
00:17:06,458 --> 00:17:09,894
But I told a white fellow
on Beale Street one night.
230
00:17:09,962 --> 00:17:11,020
I said...
231
00:17:11,096 --> 00:17:16,329
if you were black
for one Saturday night...
232
00:17:16,402 --> 00:17:17,960
on Beale Street...
233
00:17:18,037 --> 00:17:20,870
you never would
want to be white anymore.
234
00:17:40,559 --> 00:17:44,427
At the palace theaterwe knew it was an adult show...
235
00:17:44,496 --> 00:17:46,361
so we hid down in the seats...
236
00:17:47,633 --> 00:17:50,693
and when the lights came on, man.
237
00:17:51,103 --> 00:17:53,333
Stage show started...
238
00:17:54,540 --> 00:17:59,170
and our eyes were glued
to the stage big as teacups...
239
00:18:00,179 --> 00:18:04,445
and the dancersand the big band playing.
240
00:18:04,516 --> 00:18:07,679
You know we were just in awe,man.
241
00:18:08,687 --> 00:18:11,155
I've seen the lightsof old gay Broadway.
242
00:18:11,990 --> 00:18:15,187
I've been down on Market Streetby the Frisco Bay.
243
00:18:15,561 --> 00:18:19,759
I've been over in London,strolled down that Paris Bourse.
244
00:18:20,699 --> 00:18:23,896
You take my advice folks,
and see Beale Street first.
245
00:18:24,136 --> 00:18:27,469
When Nat got the callto come to Beale Street...
246
00:18:27,706 --> 00:18:30,436
to be master of ceremonies
for the amateur show...
247
00:18:30,509 --> 00:18:32,306
that they were about to start...
248
00:18:33,045 --> 00:18:36,947
they called him
he reached back and got me.
249
00:18:37,549 --> 00:18:40,950
Well, now I don't want to inflict
any hardship on the audience...
250
00:18:41,019 --> 00:18:43,886
but I can do a mess of singing
when it comes down time for it.
251
00:18:43,956 --> 00:18:45,287
Babe, I can keep time.
252
00:18:45,357 --> 00:18:48,986
Alright, well I won't play for you then.
I'll just play off what you call yo'...
253
00:18:49,061 --> 00:18:50,255
- Ignorance?
- No.
254
00:18:50,329 --> 00:18:52,297
- Man, this gets good.
- No, your jolly now.
255
00:18:53,298 --> 00:18:54,060
Go ahead.
256
00:18:54,133 --> 00:18:58,365
Amateur night on Beale Streetwas like magic.
257
00:18:58,737 --> 00:19:01,638
You had tap dancers,comics...
258
00:19:01,707 --> 00:19:04,232
I sing in an undiscriminating key.
259
00:19:04,309 --> 00:19:06,174
And musicians.
260
00:19:06,478 --> 00:19:09,276
B.B. King, Bobby Bland...
261
00:19:09,348 --> 00:19:12,511
Johnny Hayes, Rosco Gordon...
262
00:19:12,584 --> 00:19:16,520
all of 'em came form the stage
of the Palace Theater.
263
00:19:17,089 --> 00:19:20,286
I guess I looked so bad
and so pitiful and was so broke...
264
00:19:21,360 --> 00:19:24,193
Rufus Thomas when
he would see me say...
265
00:19:24,263 --> 00:19:26,629
"You know you were on last week."
You'd say, yeah.
266
00:19:27,199 --> 00:19:28,723
"Why you back this week?"
267
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,098
I need to go on again
'cause I need that dolla!
268
00:19:32,104 --> 00:19:33,366
This particular night...
269
00:19:33,438 --> 00:19:36,373
Joe Green Medfield and myself,
we drink wine, you know.
270
00:19:36,441 --> 00:19:37,931
Marvin Davis wine.
271
00:19:38,510 --> 00:19:41,809
But this particular Wednesday night
we had no wine money.
272
00:19:42,147 --> 00:19:46,049
So they talked me up into going on stage
to sing to get the wine money.
273
00:19:46,118 --> 00:19:49,485
I went up and I sang this song called
"Please, throw this old dog a bone".
274
00:19:49,555 --> 00:19:52,319
Right in the middle of
"please throw this dog a bone"...
275
00:19:52,391 --> 00:19:55,292
the MC threw a great big bone
up on the stage.
276
00:19:55,360 --> 00:19:59,387
So I won first prizeand the rest is history.
277
00:19:59,631 --> 00:20:04,159
You told me that you love meAnd you told me a lie
278
00:20:04,236 --> 00:20:07,967
Yes, I'll love youUntil the day I die
279
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:12,643
No more dogging, doggingFooling around with you
280
00:20:15,581 --> 00:20:17,981
I gotta let you out, baby
281
00:20:18,050 --> 00:20:20,109
And that's what I've got
282
00:20:28,594 --> 00:20:29,822
Well now!

You want your old seat back?
293
00:21:04,496 --> 00:21:05,463
No.
294
00:21:06,498 --> 00:21:08,466
No, if you don't mind
I'll sit here.
295
00:21:09,067 --> 00:21:11,763
You know, I'm wondering
if there anything...
296
00:21:11,837 --> 00:21:14,704
- did you guys ever keep in archives...
- I know...
297
00:21:14,773 --> 00:21:18,334
museum of some of the old stuff
from the guys way back?
298
00:21:18,410 --> 00:21:20,469
- We do have some old commercials.
- Really?
299
00:21:20,545 --> 00:21:23,912
Yeah, somebody did some a few years
ago and sent us a copy of it.
300
00:21:23,982 --> 00:21:26,542
WDIA Diana Ross.
301
00:21:26,785 --> 00:21:29,219
It is 4:19 for the new show
David Forest.
302
00:21:29,288 --> 00:21:33,782
Here at the studio this afternoon
with Mr. B.B. King.
303
00:21:33,859 --> 00:21:35,793
Thank you, sir.
Thank you very much.
304
00:21:36,261 --> 00:21:40,630
The story of you coming to Memphis,
could you describe that for us?
305
00:21:40,699 --> 00:21:43,566
Well, I just heard that
they were opening up...
306
00:21:43,635 --> 00:21:46,263
an all black operated station
over here...
307
00:21:46,338 --> 00:21:48,704
so I had to come from
West Memphis over here...
308
00:21:48,774 --> 00:21:52,369
and at that time
I had enough money to get a bus...
309
00:21:52,444 --> 00:21:54,605
from West Memphis to Memphis...
310
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:56,773
but didn't have no money
for car fare...
311
00:21:56,848 --> 00:21:59,817
so I had to walk from the station,
bus station...
312
00:21:59,885 --> 00:22:02,376
all the way up
to the twentieth block...
313
00:22:02,888 --> 00:22:06,449
and it started raining and it rained
on me all the way up there.
314
00:22:06,825 --> 00:22:09,293
And at that time
they had a disc jockey...
315
00:22:09,361 --> 00:22:11,329
he was professor Nat Williams...
316
00:22:11,396 --> 00:22:13,796
but they called him Nat D
at the time...
317
00:22:14,032 --> 00:22:15,659
and I walked up
and Nat D had his...
318
00:22:15,734 --> 00:22:18,760
cans on his head,
kind of like he has now...
319
00:22:18,837 --> 00:22:20,464
and Mr. Ferguson came out...
320
00:22:20,539 --> 00:22:23,975
and Mr. Ferguson says
we got a new product...
321
00:22:24,042 --> 00:22:25,441
and he's looking
at Mr. Williams saying...
322
00:22:25,510 --> 00:22:27,102
we got a new product
we want a put on the air...
323
00:22:27,179 --> 00:22:28,339
say...
324
00:22:30,349 --> 00:22:33,512
you think
you could make a jingle?
325
00:22:33,819 --> 00:22:35,013
I'd say anything...
326
00:22:35,087 --> 00:22:38,682
I'd gave him the Brooklyn bridge
if he'd asked me. Anything.
327
00:22:38,757 --> 00:22:40,224
Yes, sir. He said.
328
00:22:41,626 --> 00:22:43,753
He said
"The name of it is Pepticon".
329
00:22:43,829 --> 00:22:48,425
Pepticon?
Yes, Pepticon. Yes, sir.
330
00:22:48,500 --> 00:22:49,432
And I started...
331
00:22:50,502 --> 00:22:54,802
Pepticon, sure is goodPepticon, sure is good
332
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:56,867
Pepticon, sure is good
333
00:22:56,942 --> 00:22:59,035
You can get it anywhereIn your neighborhood
334
00:22:59,111 --> 00:23:01,102
He said you're hired.
335
00:23:02,681 --> 00:23:04,205
So that's how I got on the radio.
336
00:23:04,282 --> 00:23:07,718
- Oh, man.
- So, I would do ten minutes a day.
337
00:23:07,919 --> 00:23:11,946
It was a day I remember, too.It was just pouring down rain...
338
00:23:12,190 --> 00:23:16,388
and in the afternoon in came BB.
339
00:23:16,461 --> 00:23:18,793
And he had on the typical...
340
00:23:19,164 --> 00:23:21,758
Sunday outfit from Mississippi.
341
00:23:22,334 --> 00:23:25,861
The black suit, white shirt,
black tie, black hat.
342
00:23:26,071 --> 00:23:28,096
And he was soaked right
down to the skin.
343
00:23:28,306 --> 00:23:30,399
And he was a bit shy,very quiet.
344
00:23:31,243 --> 00:23:36,442
And he came in and Don let him standin front of the microphone...
345
00:23:36,515 --> 00:23:37,846
and let him play.
346
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,515
They called me down.They said come down here.
347
00:23:44,856 --> 00:23:47,051
Said we have somebody
we want you to listen to.
348
00:23:51,263 --> 00:23:54,232
It's three o'clock in the morning
349
00:23:56,435 --> 00:23:59,734
And I can't even close my eyes
350
00:24:05,377 --> 00:24:08,869
It's three o'clock in the morningBaby
351
00:24:09,915 --> 00:24:14,147
And I can't even close my eyes
352
00:24:16,655 --> 00:24:18,748
B.B. King's musicdidn't interest me.
353
00:24:18,824 --> 00:24:21,850
I was not impressed by it at allI didn't like it...
354
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,094
It made me very uneasy...
355
00:24:24,162 --> 00:24:26,995
because I was sure
there were elements in his music...
356
00:24:27,499 --> 00:24:31,765
that my listeners, our listeners
understood that I didn't.
357
00:24:32,537 --> 00:24:35,301
Looked all around me
358
00:24:35,373 --> 00:24:39,400
And my babyShe can't be found
359
00:24:42,247 --> 00:24:43,646
No black voice...
360
00:24:43,715 --> 00:24:46,548
had ever been heard
on the radio...
361
00:24:46,618 --> 00:24:48,848
unless it was gospel singers.
362
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:52,378
Every Sunday
you get gospel singers on there.
363
00:24:52,457 --> 00:24:56,257
But to be an announcer
on the radio.
364
00:24:57,028 --> 00:24:58,188
No way.
365
00:24:58,730 --> 00:25:00,527
Black man can't do that.
366
00:25:00,699 --> 00:25:03,827
There's no way
for a black man to do that.
367
00:25:03,902 --> 00:25:04,869
He can't do it.
368
00:25:05,504 --> 00:25:09,235
They were going broke.They try everything.
369
00:25:09,441 --> 00:25:13,070
They tried country and western music,they tried classical music.
370
00:25:13,478 --> 00:25:18,177
They decided in what could only be
described as absolute desperation...
371
00:25:18,250 --> 00:25:20,081
to try Negro announcers.
372
00:25:20,151 --> 00:25:22,711
They had to find, of course,the personnel and...
373
00:25:22,787 --> 00:25:24,880
rain them andput them on the air and...
374
00:25:24,956 --> 00:25:27,652
but I would sayby the summer of 1949...
375
00:25:27,726 --> 00:25:30,559
WDIA is the first all blackradio station in the country.
376
00:25:30,629 --> 00:25:32,392
Ladies and gentlemen,this is Nat D. Williams...
377
00:25:32,464 --> 00:25:35,160
inviting you to listento a full hour broadcast.
378
00:25:35,233 --> 00:25:39,499
I'm young, I'm loose, I'm full of juice,I've got the goose, so what's the use?
379
00:25:39,571 --> 00:25:41,869
We feeling okay
tho ain't got a dollar.
380
00:25:41,940 --> 00:25:43,339
Rufus is here...
381
00:25:43,408 --> 00:25:45,876
so hoot and holler.
382
00:25:46,645 --> 00:25:49,808
Right here on WDIA...
383
00:25:50,081 --> 00:25:52,948
the voice of Memphis,Tennessee.
384
00:25:53,218 --> 00:25:58,155
You know, when I heard WDIAwith all of these people that I knew...
385
00:25:58,223 --> 00:26:02,353
Nat D Williams taught me historyin high school.
386
00:26:02,427 --> 00:26:07,262
It really made me,
I fell in love with Memphis, then.
387
00:26:07,766 --> 00:26:10,166
I felt like I belonged.
388
00:26:10,902 --> 00:26:14,736
They didn't start out to bring aboutsocial uplift for black people...
389
00:26:14,806 --> 00:26:15,795
that happened.
390
00:26:15,874 --> 00:26:17,239
And once the station got going...
391
00:26:17,309 --> 00:26:19,300
they did wonderful things
for the black community...
392
00:26:19,377 --> 00:26:21,572
but that was not
their original intent...
393
00:26:21,646 --> 00:26:24,410
it's another classic case of the law
of unintended consequences.
394
00:26:24,716 --> 00:26:29,119
They found out that there was gold
in them that hills...
395
00:26:29,955 --> 00:26:31,820
if you want to put it like...
396
00:26:32,090 --> 00:26:34,684
that and WDIA...
397
00:26:35,660 --> 00:26:36,957
went from...
398
00:26:38,663 --> 00:26:42,292
cool or should I say cold,
to cool...
399
00:26:43,568 --> 00:26:48,062
to luke warm,
to warm on...
400
00:26:48,139 --> 00:26:50,266
in to hot...
401
00:26:51,309 --> 00:26:55,177
and when I say hot, man.
I mean hot.
402
00:26:56,114 --> 00:27:01,552
I'm getting up soon in the morningI believe I'll dust my broom
403
00:27:05,056 --> 00:27:08,583
I'm getting up soon in the morning
404
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:10,928
I believe I'll dust my broom
405
00:27:10,996 --> 00:27:12,964
Here's WDIAat the top of the delta...
406
00:27:13,031 --> 00:27:16,330
booming that big fifty thousand
watt voice all through delta.
407
00:27:16,534 --> 00:27:20,595
They estimated that they were hitting
1.5 million black people.
408
00:27:21,506 --> 00:27:22,939
So they could come to a sponsor
and say look...
409
00:27:23,008 --> 00:27:27,138
we hit one out of every ten African
Americans living in the United States.
410
00:27:27,212 --> 00:27:31,342
Just like John...
411
00:27:31,416 --> 00:27:33,816
Want to walk in Jerusalem,just like John.
412
00:27:33,885 --> 00:27:38,288
Say look I'm talking to you aboutMartha White's self-rising flour.
413
00:27:38,356 --> 00:27:41,086
When the Martha White biscuitcome out of the oven...
414
00:27:41,159 --> 00:27:43,389
you just grab 'em upand butter 'em you...
415
00:27:43,461 --> 00:27:45,019
baptize them in butter.
416
00:27:45,096 --> 00:27:47,291
This is a WDIAgoodwill announcement.
417
00:27:47,365 --> 00:27:50,857
A Black Angus cow is lost.
418
00:27:52,904 --> 00:27:55,702
Well, our friendjust called us a minute ago...
419
00:27:55,774 --> 00:27:58,038
he lost his false teeth.
420
00:27:58,109 --> 00:27:59,872
He lost his false teeth.
421
00:28:01,112 --> 00:28:04,980
Yeah, and I knew it was hard, yeah,
I thought it could be done.
422
00:28:05,717 --> 00:28:06,877
Hey, AC Williams.
423
00:28:06,951 --> 00:28:09,784
- It's the same than before.
- Ok?
424
00:28:11,890 --> 00:28:15,690
- I know it was AC Williams. Who else?
- What time does the show open tonight?
425
00:28:15,794 --> 00:28:17,762
- What time does the show open tonight?
- B.B. King Blues Club.
426
00:28:17,829 --> 00:28:20,593
Tonight, I think the first show
I think is about 7.
427
00:28:20,665 --> 00:28:24,066
We done two tonight, we'll do two
tomorrow and thanks for mentioning.
428
00:28:24,469 --> 00:28:27,199
That's the B.B. King Blues Club,
excuse, me, I mean...
429
00:28:28,573 --> 00:28:30,097
That's alright,
I'll be there.
430
00:28:34,679 --> 00:28:36,374
Good evening,ladies and gentlemen.
431
00:28:38,750 --> 00:28:40,650
Thank you so much, thank you.
432
00:28:41,519 --> 00:28:45,046
Thank you for coming out. Thank you
for being here, appreciate it.
433
00:28:47,358 --> 00:28:49,519
Like to say its good
to be back home...
434
00:28:49,594 --> 00:28:53,360
this is my second home.
Indianola, Mississippi...
435
00:28:57,402 --> 00:29:00,337
this is still the home
of the blues to B.B. King.
436
00:29:02,707 --> 00:29:03,674
Thank you so much.
437
00:29:31,703 --> 00:29:33,261
The thrill is gone
438
00:29:36,007 --> 00:29:38,134
The thrill is gone away
439
00:29:40,512 --> 00:29:42,412
The thrill is gone baby
440
00:29:44,516 --> 00:29:46,711
The thrill is gone away
441
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:50,979
You know you done me wrongBaby
442
00:29:51,990 --> 00:29:53,651
And you'll be sorry
443
00:29:54,659 --> 00:29:55,921
Someday
444
00:29:57,562 --> 00:29:58,824
I'm free now
445
00:30:01,733 --> 00:30:04,133
I'm free from your spell
446
00:30:06,204 --> 00:30:09,037
Free, freeFree now baby
447
00:30:10,108 --> 00:30:12,542
I'm free from your spell
448
00:30:14,746 --> 00:30:16,577
And now that it's over
449
00:30:16,981 --> 00:30:18,471
All I can do
450
00:30:19,150 --> 00:30:21,141
Is wish you well
451
00:31:09,300 --> 00:31:10,699
Thank you so much.
452
00:31:24,716 --> 00:31:26,377
Wasn't always easy.
453
00:31:26,517 --> 00:31:28,508
Wasn't always easy at all.
454
00:31:29,621 --> 00:31:33,682
In '55 about the first busI ever had.
455
00:31:33,758 --> 00:31:34,690
Big Red.
456
00:31:36,427 --> 00:31:40,887
Gentlemen that drove
it was named Cato Walker Jr.
457
00:31:42,867 --> 00:31:44,562
He was a good mechanic...
458
00:31:44,636 --> 00:31:47,264
he's a good bus driverand a good friend.
459
00:31:48,573 --> 00:31:53,237
As a kid what we'd hearwas my dad bringing his bus home.
460
00:31:53,311 --> 00:31:55,404
He'd always get homefive, six o'clock in the morning...
461
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,347
and you'd hear that bus comeacross the hill and it'd go...
462
00:32:01,019 --> 00:32:04,580
As he geared it down cause he alwaysbacked it up into the backyard.
463
00:32:05,356 --> 00:32:09,019
And he paid me one,
two dollars to clean the bus out.
464
00:32:09,260 --> 00:32:12,752
And I'd walk up on there
and smell the men on the road...
465
00:32:12,830 --> 00:32:14,058
you know, men traveling...
466
00:32:14,132 --> 00:32:20,071
and I'd read all these newspapers from
Seattle Washington, Houston, Texas...
467
00:32:20,138 --> 00:32:22,106
Los Angeles, New York City...
468
00:32:22,173 --> 00:32:24,403
and I thought it was
the most fascinating lifestyle...
469
00:32:24,475 --> 00:32:26,306
that a man could have in the world...
470
00:32:26,377 --> 00:32:29,778
you know to be able to travel
and to see all these places...
471
00:32:29,847 --> 00:32:34,011
and I used to smile because
daddy would tell me...
472
00:32:34,085 --> 00:32:35,677
You don't want to be
in the music business.
473
00:32:35,753 --> 00:32:37,118
And in the back of my mind
I would go...
474
00:32:37,188 --> 00:32:39,520
Yeah, because you want to keep
all this fun to yourself.
475
00:32:41,326 --> 00:32:43,692
Highway 61. I want to be
the first one to drive on it.
476
00:32:45,496 --> 00:32:47,191
I have three of these buses.
477
00:32:48,866 --> 00:32:50,060
I grease 'em...
478
00:32:50,935 --> 00:32:51,697
work on 'em...
479
00:32:52,537 --> 00:32:53,799
drive 'em...
480
00:32:55,039 --> 00:32:55,971
the whole bit.
481
00:32:57,709 --> 00:32:59,904
My granddaddy told me
a long time ago says...
482
00:32:59,978 --> 00:33:01,969
don't own a horse
that you can't ride.
483
00:33:03,581 --> 00:33:07,813
When mechanical things go wrong I gottaget out and fix what I gotta fix...
484
00:33:07,885 --> 00:33:11,048
and you do what you gotta doto make it to the next hill.
485
00:34:39,477 --> 00:34:42,446
When you speak of the Chitlin Circuit,it's great.
486
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:47,310
You make a decent living.You meet down to earth people.
487
00:34:47,919 --> 00:34:51,150
Back in the day when fans,
when the economy was different...
488
00:34:51,222 --> 00:34:55,955
you had a lot of people living
in rural areas, and in the country...
489
00:34:56,761 --> 00:35:00,390
I don't think a lot of people
back then had...
490
00:35:01,265 --> 00:35:05,497
house notes and high rents
and stuff like that, so...
491
00:35:06,003 --> 00:35:10,463
people could come out basically
any night of the week and have fun.
492
00:35:13,211 --> 00:35:17,875
When you go out on the road.Well, you gotta have somewhere to stay.
493
00:35:18,516 --> 00:35:23,510
Can't stay in the hotels
because all of the hotels was white.
494
00:35:24,489 --> 00:35:26,389
See I'm pretty age able.
495
00:35:26,624 --> 00:35:32,062
And I can remember this stuff
when I couldn't go into that hotel...
496
00:35:32,130 --> 00:35:34,257
because of the color of my skin.
497
00:35:35,399 --> 00:35:37,264
Have you ever been mistreated?
498
00:35:39,904 --> 00:35:41,997
I got this stupid drummer
I told him...
499
00:35:42,073 --> 00:35:48,171
Look man I said, no name, do not go
to the water fountains down here...
500
00:35:49,113 --> 00:35:52,241
I said, no matter what you do you
want water go to the hydrant...
501
00:35:52,316 --> 00:35:55,376
and drink from the hydrant.
Don't go to the water fountain.
502
00:35:55,453 --> 00:35:57,978
He went to the water fountain
like a stupid cop done...
503
00:35:58,055 --> 00:36:01,616
come and put a foot in his mouth,
I mean, kicked him.
504
00:36:02,026 --> 00:36:04,324
I was kicked once too,
by a cop in Memphis.
505
00:36:04,562 --> 00:36:08,328
Do you know this son of a gun kicked me
and lifted me up off the sidewalk.
506
00:36:08,533 --> 00:36:11,263
So I had tears in my eyes,
I said aren't you ashamed.
507
00:36:11,536 --> 00:36:15,028
I said, You're twice as big as I am,
you got a gun, you got a stick...
508
00:36:15,106 --> 00:36:17,336
and you got a license to kill me.
You gonna kick me?
509
00:36:18,142 --> 00:36:19,268
He said, Get home.
510
00:36:19,477 --> 00:36:21,945
I said you stopped me,
I said I was going home.
511
00:36:31,956 --> 00:36:34,823
It's hard to look happy and pretty
early in the morning.
512
00:36:36,294 --> 00:36:40,492
I could look pretty,
but could I look pretty happy?
513
00:36:42,833 --> 00:36:44,266
How many miles we away?
514
00:36:44,635 --> 00:36:48,071
About 130 miles. Not long.
515
00:36:49,273 --> 00:36:51,332
Let me know if you get tired,
I'll take it.
516
00:36:51,943 --> 00:36:53,376
Alright, I'm good.
517
00:36:53,578 --> 00:36:56,103
Is all the girls...
Is all the girls sleep?
518
00:36:56,881 --> 00:36:57,905
They sleep.
519
00:37:00,017 --> 00:37:00,949
Pitiful.
520
00:37:02,153 --> 00:37:05,316
You know he isn't gonna move
till the sun rise.
521
00:37:05,389 --> 00:37:10,292
Yeah, I guess you're right,
I guess you're right.
522
00:37:10,361 --> 00:37:11,225
Yep.
523
00:37:11,295 --> 00:37:13,320
- Bruce'll get up first, right?
- Bruce'll get up first.
524
00:37:13,397 --> 00:37:17,026
- Well, cock-eedoodoo.
- Over the hill.
525
00:37:20,771 --> 00:37:23,740
Daddy would tell methey would drive the bus...
526
00:37:24,242 --> 00:37:26,403
down throughall the black neighborhoods...
527
00:37:26,477 --> 00:37:28,945
so people would knowB.B. King was in town.
528
00:37:29,146 --> 00:37:33,207
They'd play the show, rehearse,
get on the bus and split...
529
00:37:33,284 --> 00:37:35,878
they'd drive all night,
get to the next town...
530
00:37:35,953 --> 00:37:40,014
set up, rehearse, play the show,
get on the bus and they'd split.
531
00:37:40,091 --> 00:37:43,891
They lived,literally lived on the bus.
532
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:33,003
- Are you playing the blues?
- Oh yeah, all the time, but I...
533
00:38:33,077 --> 00:38:36,171
I play for tips,
cause I'm outta money right now.
534
00:38:36,981 --> 00:38:38,471
We gonna jam.
535
00:38:39,784 --> 00:38:41,979
If we don't like it
you gotta pay us, now.
536
00:38:54,565 --> 00:38:57,261
Ya'll tip him, right,
tip him right, tip him, right.
537
00:38:58,069 --> 00:39:00,264
I got it, I got it...
538
00:39:02,406 --> 00:39:03,134

539
00:39:03,207 --> 00:39:04,640
- Thank you.
- There you go.
540
00:39:04,942 --> 00:39:05,966
Stay right where you at.
541
00:39:06,344 --> 00:39:09,006
Stay right where you at.
It says...
542
00:39:13,317 --> 00:39:15,547
You came to learn what did I do
543
00:39:18,689 --> 00:39:21,988
I lost my heart in the wayCool
544
00:39:24,829 --> 00:39:26,763
She's got your love
545
00:39:27,598 --> 00:39:29,566
And your light
546
00:39:30,568 --> 00:39:34,868
- You know how it feels
- I feel it goes by
547
00:39:34,972 --> 00:39:36,132
Take it away
548
00:39:43,481 --> 00:39:44,539
That's the blues.
549
00:39:44,849 --> 00:39:46,077
That's the blues.
550
00:39:46,617 --> 00:39:47,481
That's the blues.
551
00:39:53,224 --> 00:39:55,249
That's alright mama
552
00:40:04,101 --> 00:40:05,591
That's alright
553
00:40:06,570 --> 00:40:09,437
That's alright mama
554
00:40:17,882 --> 00:40:19,440
I've been up, oh baby
555
00:40:21,218 --> 00:40:23,778
You can't believe the words I say
556
00:40:27,458 --> 00:40:29,255
I've been up all night
557
00:40:30,594 --> 00:40:34,030
And you can't believeThe words I say
558
00:40:37,001 --> 00:40:38,866
You don't love me
559
00:40:40,271 --> 00:40:42,933
And you just want to have your way
560
00:40:51,148 --> 00:40:55,312
Well, I can't find my baby
561
00:40:56,220 --> 00:41:00,350
And I can't be satisfied
562
00:41:04,495 --> 00:41:08,295
Train arrived
563
00:41:09,033 --> 00:41:12,696
Sixteen coaches long
564
00:41:15,105 --> 00:41:18,836
I'd love to meet my baby
565
00:41:20,611 --> 00:41:24,308
I'd love to meet my baby

00:41:26,116 --> 00:41:30,678
She's trying to look so easyAnd so long my baby

Hello, Robert.
Nice to be home.
572
00:41:53,611 --> 00:41:55,203
Good to see you,
Mr. Sam Phillips.
573
00:41:55,279 --> 00:41:56,211
How you doing?
574
00:41:56,747 --> 00:41:59,079
Well, well, well, how you do?
575
00:42:02,219 --> 00:42:05,746
I knew him, yes,
I knew him.
576
00:42:07,491 --> 00:42:11,291
- How you doing, Sam?
- I'm doing great. Glad to see you.
577
00:42:11,362 --> 00:42:14,593
Glad to see you.
Thank God, man.
578
00:42:14,665 --> 00:42:15,927
Here's my baby.
579
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:17,194
God is good ain't he?
580
00:42:17,468 --> 00:42:21,199
Anybody that keeps you pretty like you
for as long. God's pretty good.
581
00:42:21,272 --> 00:42:24,503
Look at you.
The pot ain't talk about the kettle.
582
00:42:27,578 --> 00:42:28,875
How you doing, Sam?
583
00:42:28,946 --> 00:42:30,277
- I couldn't be better.
- Yeah?
584
00:42:30,347 --> 00:42:34,443
Do you know how I met you,
how we got together? You remember?
585
00:42:35,019 --> 00:42:37,715
Remind me. I don't know.
I don't remember.
586
00:42:38,756 --> 00:42:40,053
I saw B. B...
587
00:42:40,858 --> 00:42:44,259
and I knew him as Riley.
I didn't know who B.B. Was...
588
00:42:44,328 --> 00:42:47,957
and you were recording him, and he was
playing in Chambers, Mississippi...
589
00:42:48,032 --> 00:42:51,968
and he said, and he heard my band
he said, "Man, why you not recording?"
590
00:42:52,036 --> 00:42:53,594
I said, I don't know
how to record, he said...
591
00:42:53,671 --> 00:42:57,198
Well, I know a man in Memphis
that name Sam Phillips, he said...
592
00:42:57,274 --> 00:42:58,901
I'm gonna tell him
to call you...
593
00:42:58,976 --> 00:43:02,104
and he'll give you a call
'bout between Monday and Wednesday...
594
00:43:02,179 --> 00:43:03,840
and sho' 'nough Monday
morning you called me.
595
00:43:22,866 --> 00:43:24,993
Back in those days records like...
596
00:43:25,069 --> 00:43:26,866
like we cut was called race records.
597
00:43:26,937 --> 00:43:27,995
That's right.
598
00:43:28,072 --> 00:43:31,439
And they didn't play that kinda stuff
on white radio stations.
599
00:43:31,508 --> 00:43:32,372
That's right.
600
00:43:32,443 --> 00:43:34,604
Then you got the idea...
601
00:43:34,878 --> 00:43:39,781
of getting some white kids
to sing the black music...
602
00:43:39,850 --> 00:43:41,943
- and this started rock 'n ' roll!
- That's right.
603
00:43:42,620 --> 00:43:47,114
I guess the most criticism
I got was...
604
00:43:47,458 --> 00:43:51,189
that black people just were...
605
00:43:51,629 --> 00:43:54,223
not what white people were.
606
00:43:54,298 --> 00:43:57,597
And I knew everyone,
I've done and they weren't...
607
00:43:57,668 --> 00:44:02,105
I didn't know a race baiter or anything
but they could not understand...
608
00:44:02,172 --> 00:44:05,369
why I was out here fooling around
with a bunch of niggers...
609
00:44:06,744 --> 00:44:08,678
nah I mean that's just exactly
the truth I had...
610
00:44:08,746 --> 00:44:14,548
I had the finest people I was working
with and they would come in and say...
611
00:44:14,618 --> 00:44:17,712
Well, you must not have had
a session yesterday...
612
00:44:17,955 --> 00:44:21,356
says man either that
or you used a lot of deodorant.
613
00:44:21,558 --> 00:44:24,789
Now these were cruel things,
cruel things.
614
00:44:24,862 --> 00:44:27,126
But do you think I got mad at them?
Hell, no.
615
00:44:27,197 --> 00:44:30,564
That's what... I was playing right into
their hands if I'da got mad at 'em.
616
00:44:31,602 --> 00:44:33,331
I just kept doing my thing.
617
00:44:33,404 --> 00:44:37,397
I was just saying we have got to develop
something that's good...
618
00:44:37,474 --> 00:44:42,741
and that at the same time possibly
can have an ever-lasting effect...
619
00:44:42,813 --> 00:44:45,441
on what humanity thinks
of each other.
620
00:44:45,516 --> 00:44:48,542
- Yeah, we say, you know...
- Wait a minute, now listen...
621
00:44:48,619 --> 00:44:52,817
That is a fact
and those are the facts.
622
00:44:52,890 --> 00:44:56,155
Yeah, you know I've said this
in an interview before about you.
623
00:44:56,727 --> 00:44:58,888
There's one thing
I never felt about you.
624
00:44:59,196 --> 00:45:05,260
And when I came in that door, my first
time, I never felt any prejudice...
625
00:45:05,335 --> 00:45:10,238
you being partial, feeling, make me feel
black or make me feel afraid...
626
00:45:10,307 --> 00:45:12,969
or make me feel that I had
to sit over here...
627
00:45:13,043 --> 00:45:15,477
or I had to come around
to the back door.
628
00:45:15,546 --> 00:45:20,006
Like the first time I came to the Peabody
I sit in the car for three hours.
629
00:45:20,084 --> 00:45:23,315
I never felt any of that
in this building not once...
630
00:45:23,387 --> 00:45:26,049
and if anybody says that I can say
that they are a liar.
631
00:45:26,123 --> 00:45:28,353
- I've never felt that in this building.
- Wrong, wrong, wrong they are wrong.
632
00:45:28,425 --> 00:45:31,394
That's one thing I can say about
this place. It just didn't exist here.
633
00:45:31,462 --> 00:45:34,693
They woulda never succeeded.
It woulda never happened...
634
00:45:34,765 --> 00:45:36,096
it if I'd had that attitude.
635
00:45:36,166 --> 00:45:37,963
And somehow or another
God blessed me...
636
00:45:38,035 --> 00:45:41,471
with the ability
to work day and night...
637
00:45:41,538 --> 00:45:44,530
and hope that I'd be given
enough time to stay in business.
638
00:45:44,608 --> 00:45:50,274
Wait a minute, to prove that
it absolutely would have to be...
639
00:45:50,414 --> 00:45:55,078
that some white folks would have
to start doing some things...
640
00:45:55,152 --> 00:45:58,986
not trying to mock,
not trying to copy...
641
00:45:59,089 --> 00:46:01,614
or anything, but they were gonna have
to do it with some feeling...
642
00:46:01,692 --> 00:46:04,456
and I knew the southern
white people like Elvis Presley...
643
00:46:04,528 --> 00:46:07,190
aint' no black person
ever been poorer than him.
644
00:46:07,397 --> 00:46:10,059
- All of his stuff was black style.
- Sure.
645
00:46:10,134 --> 00:46:13,262
- Yeah, and so...
- It was a lot of southern country.
646
00:46:13,337 --> 00:46:14,804
No, no,
well just then you said...
647
00:46:14,872 --> 00:46:16,999
that they didn't copy
the black style...
648
00:46:17,074 --> 00:46:18,974
they dead on it and even
today they dead on it.
649
00:46:19,042 --> 00:46:24,503
Well, now what I mean to copy,
what I mean was to imitate.
650
00:46:24,715 --> 00:46:29,880
They took the feel because they were
exposed to so many of the same things...
651
00:46:30,754 --> 00:46:35,157
not to the extent
that black people were...
652
00:46:35,225 --> 00:46:39,059
but they didn't copy,
what they did was...
653
00:46:39,129 --> 00:46:43,429
- they borrowed heavily from.
- Yeah, they sure did.
654
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:45,329
Now wait a minute now...
655
00:46:45,502 --> 00:46:47,902
there you there you go.
656
00:46:47,971 --> 00:46:50,940
- No, like its...
- Hell, that ain't right.
657
00:46:51,008 --> 00:46:53,408
- Whaddya mean?
- Is that not a complement?
658
00:46:53,477 --> 00:46:57,811
That's what it took
to make what all y'all were doing...
659
00:46:57,881 --> 00:47:00,247
absolutely accepted.
660
00:47:00,317 --> 00:47:02,717
I understand, but what all other
black people that were recording...
661
00:47:02,786 --> 00:47:05,220
they couldn't get the records
on the white radio stations.
662
00:47:05,455 --> 00:47:06,717
You could, you did.
663
00:47:07,524 --> 00:47:10,721
Do you love me, or are you
falling out of love with me?
664
00:47:10,794 --> 00:47:12,955
You know I love you,
that ain't gonna never change.
665
00:47:13,030 --> 00:47:15,089
That's right.
666
00:47:15,165 --> 00:47:20,762
What do I look like,
making fun of me. Do you believe that?
667
00:47:20,838 --> 00:47:23,773
You know...
Can you believe that?
668
00:47:24,608 --> 00:47:25,802
I have to go pee.
669
00:47:28,078 --> 00:47:29,477
I don't know what...
670
00:47:30,681 --> 00:47:32,205
Which way the bathroom?
I forget.
671
00:47:32,282 --> 00:47:37,413
Well, that's alright mamaThat's alright with me
672
00:47:38,055 --> 00:47:43,994
That's alright mamaAnything you do that's alright
673
00:47:44,061 --> 00:47:46,188
That's the first time
I ever heard him sing in my life.
674
00:47:53,604 --> 00:47:57,938
SearchingSearching every way
675
00:47:58,008 --> 00:48:02,638
What happened during the periodwhen it seemed like the blues faded...
676
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:05,440
Well, they sort of put us
on the back burner...
677
00:48:05,515 --> 00:48:09,918
I put it that way because
the new style started coming in.
678
00:48:10,020 --> 00:48:16,550
You made me cryWhen you said, "goodbye"
679
00:48:16,627 --> 00:48:18,822
Ain't that a shame?
680
00:48:20,731 --> 00:48:25,293
And a lot of the young black kidswanted to hear some soul or rock'n roll.
681
00:48:25,369 --> 00:48:30,068
Rock'n roll hadn't gained the name
rock 'n roll then, but it was starting.
682
00:48:30,140 --> 00:48:33,132
People like Little Richard,
Fats Domino and people like that...
683
00:48:33,210 --> 00:48:36,577
was playing then,
what later was called rock'n roll.
684
00:48:37,381 --> 00:48:41,681
Lucille, please, come backWhere you belong
685
00:48:45,722 --> 00:48:47,656
Please, come backWhere you belong
686
00:48:49,826 --> 00:48:53,785
I been good to you, babyPlease, don't leave me alone
687
00:49:00,671 --> 00:49:03,231
I rememberI was in Baltimore, Maryland...
688
00:49:03,307 --> 00:49:08,006
and when it was time for B.B. King
to go on, the announcer said...
689
00:49:08,078 --> 00:49:12,276
"Now we bring you B.B. King",
and all the kids said, "booo"...
690
00:49:12,749 --> 00:49:15,946
you talking about hurtin',
that hurt me so much...
691
00:49:16,787 --> 00:49:21,656
I felt terrible that the reasonthey booed because it was blues.
692
00:49:21,858 --> 00:49:25,692
When they said blues,hey it was like being black twice.
693
00:49:27,030 --> 00:49:30,864
But I didn't know nothing else to do,
I didn't know to do other things...
694
00:49:30,934 --> 00:49:34,131
I couldn't dance,
I've got two left feet all my life...
695
00:49:34,204 --> 00:49:37,571
when I was married my wife had to
give me a drink to get me on the floor...
696
00:49:38,275 --> 00:49:39,833
so I couldn't dance.
697
00:49:39,910 --> 00:49:42,640
I didn't know how to do
all the nice things that...
698
00:49:42,813 --> 00:49:46,408
later on made entertainers,
entertainers, you know...
699
00:49:46,483 --> 00:49:50,214
all I knew stand up flat foot sing
and play my guitar.
700
00:49:50,287 --> 00:49:51,311
That's all I knew.
701
00:49:51,388 --> 00:49:54,551
The places that I had been working,
I couldn't work there anymore...
702
00:49:54,925 --> 00:50:00,261
because well, I wouldn't draw anybody,
that's why I threw the music aside...
703
00:50:01,231 --> 00:50:05,361
because see I already saw
the trend was changing...
704
00:50:05,702 --> 00:50:07,363
and my wife says
she wanted me home...
705
00:50:07,437 --> 00:50:11,703
so it really wasn't a problem for me
to just forget about it.
706
00:50:26,723 --> 00:50:27,951
I can't do it, Billy.
707
00:50:28,759 --> 00:50:30,852
I can't do that anyway,
not for that kinda money.
708
00:50:32,329 --> 00:50:35,059
Probley little nothing,
about a thousand buck or something.
709
00:50:35,932 --> 00:50:37,263
You gotta be kidding.
710
00:50:37,334 --> 00:50:39,962
I'll be honest with you, I might just
scrap you even better than that...
711
00:50:40,037 --> 00:50:42,301
but I won't...
don't let me say it yet...
712
00:50:42,372 --> 00:50:43,640
but if you put it on the early...
713
00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:45,801
the more I can knock off.
You know what I'm talking about?
714
00:50:45,876 --> 00:50:47,741
Because that mean
I can go someplace else...
715
00:50:47,811 --> 00:50:51,406
and make my money up and throw it your
way. That's the only way I can do it.
716
00:50:52,182 --> 00:50:55,515
You know, I'm just trying to help you,
that's all I'm trying to do.
717
00:51:01,224 --> 00:51:03,158
As a Chitlin Circuit artist...
718
00:51:03,226 --> 00:51:07,663
I'm hoping and praying thatGod'd give me the time in his life...
719
00:51:07,731 --> 00:51:10,996
to cross over to the white audience.
720
00:51:13,537 --> 00:51:17,200
I want to be just as bigas the Buddy Guy or the B.B.
721
00:51:17,407 --> 00:51:21,400
And I think, I think the opportunityjust right round the corner...
722
00:51:22,012 --> 00:51:24,147
it's just hard to getboth side out the fence.
723
00:51:24,147 --> 00:51:25,273
There's a bandstand there.
724
00:51:25,715 --> 00:51:28,684
Yeah, this is you line for the front...
725
00:51:28,752 --> 00:51:31,653
I think it's just a matter of peopleknowing who I am and what I do.
726
00:51:31,721 --> 00:51:33,985
I think it will be bigas bubble gum.
727
00:51:34,057 --> 00:51:37,254
So you can't set him out where
he's set like that because it'll kill...
728
00:51:37,627 --> 00:51:39,185
- The view.
- The view from other people.
729
00:51:39,262 --> 00:51:43,130
This coming November I'm 66 years old...
730
00:51:43,934 --> 00:51:45,925
but I'm still in my decent shape...
731
00:51:46,002 --> 00:51:49,096
and I can put the hours in
and have the energy...
732
00:51:49,473 --> 00:51:52,465
when I hit the stage
something else comes in...
733
00:51:52,542 --> 00:51:57,980
the other switch, I got a little switch
in my ear that I don't hit often...
734
00:51:58,048 --> 00:52:01,313
and I do it like that every night
at the end to get my little motor going.
735
00:52:03,253 --> 00:52:04,345
Hey, all
736
00:52:07,891 --> 00:52:09,381
I said, hey, all
737
00:52:13,597 --> 00:52:14,825
I said, hey
738
00:52:17,767 --> 00:52:18,529
You know what?
739
00:52:18,969 --> 00:52:21,233
If you make a move I'll leaveMy woman
740
00:52:21,705 --> 00:52:28,941

00:52:39,556 --> 00:52:43,959
See my nanny ain't told me whereI belong, and my mama ain't told me to
743
00:52:44,461 --> 00:52:49,091
They're gonna learnTo let it out at night
744
00:52:49,599 --> 00:52:54,127
I look at my mamaLook at my hen, I been trying to smile

00:52:54,905 --> 00:52:59,467

00:53:23,333 --> 00:53:26,063
I've been tamped right here
753
00:53:30,707 --> 00:53:32,072
Look at her.
Look at it.
754
00:53:33,777 --> 00:53:35,039
Oh, baby
755
00:53:35,612 --> 00:53:38,706
You like that, don't you?
You like that, don't you?
756
00:53:39,749 --> 00:53:42,343
And I may shoutAnd the teeth may grip
757
00:53:42,786 --> 00:53:45,277
But I'll go thereAnd you go here
758
00:53:46,756 --> 00:53:48,280
I'm about to do it
759
00:53:50,660 --> 00:53:52,457
A hen pecked right here
760
00:53:57,300 --> 00:53:58,267
Wait a minute
761
00:53:59,769 --> 00:54:01,498
Are you talking to me?
762
00:54:04,708 --> 00:54:08,075
Some time it talk so lowI can hardly hear it
763
00:54:08,144 --> 00:54:09,839
And I get real close to it
764
00:54:10,947 --> 00:54:12,642
It talked to me
765
00:54:15,085 --> 00:54:18,714
Listen, look at it.
I got to talk to my brother.
766
00:54:19,089 --> 00:54:21,250
Just me and my brother
got to talk, brother to brother.
767
00:54:21,458 --> 00:54:24,086
Hey, brother!
Between me and you...
768
00:54:24,527 --> 00:54:28,463
not only can it talk,
it can sing too.
769
00:54:28,531 --> 00:54:30,089
- Yes, sir.
- You don't believe it?
770
00:54:32,936 --> 00:54:34,369
Sing for my brother.
771
00:54:43,413 --> 00:54:44,971
I've been picked quite right
772
00:54:48,318 --> 00:54:50,252
My Lord, I've been picked
773
00:54:53,023 --> 00:54:54,718
I've been picked quite good
774
00:54:55,925 --> 00:54:57,415
How about a handfor the young here?
775
00:55:02,599 --> 00:55:04,066
Oh yeah, you do
776
00:55:19,783 --> 00:55:22,411
Bobby Rush!
777
00:55:24,721 --> 00:55:27,986
It's fun to you,
fun to people on the outside.
778
00:55:28,224 --> 00:55:32,558
But this is work
and people want my nose...
779
00:55:32,629 --> 00:55:35,598
they want my blood,
they want my sweat.
780
00:55:35,799 --> 00:55:37,630
They want the best out of me...
781
00:55:37,701 --> 00:55:41,034
they want to get the best out of me,
they still don't want to pay...
782
00:55:41,104 --> 00:55:43,538
when they pay me,
they think they paid me too much.
783
00:55:43,940 --> 00:55:48,536
God's this hard, but I smile
because I like what I'm doing...
784
00:55:49,079 --> 00:55:52,207
if I didn't love the music,I couldn't do it.
785
00:55:54,050 --> 00:55:57,850
The time the van broke down
quarter to two or two 'o ' clock...
786
00:55:58,521 --> 00:56:03,549
I gets in the bus and woke
my bus driver up and here we are...
787
00:56:04,060 --> 00:56:10,465
coming home to be at service
at church at a 9:15 service.
788
00:56:25,281 --> 00:56:26,407
Oh, yeah.
789
00:56:41,231 --> 00:56:49,366
You will stand right hereRight here, Sir
790
00:56:56,546 --> 00:56:59,174
If you touch me
791
00:56:59,249 --> 00:57:02,275
- lf you touch me
- Touch me
792
00:57:02,352 --> 00:57:19,065
Touch me
793
00:57:22,405 --> 00:57:25,272
When I work all the week,do all these things...
794
00:57:25,341 --> 00:57:28,777
when I get to church on Sunday morningI'm so tired I can't keep my eyes open.
795
00:57:29,012 --> 00:57:32,504
But now is time for a break,
now I don't have to sing...
796
00:57:32,582 --> 00:57:36,882
I don't have to do any of these things
that I was doing last night.
797
00:57:36,953 --> 00:57:39,820
Somebody else is doing it,
now I'm enjoying it.
798
00:57:40,023 --> 00:57:41,320
Come on with it preacher.
799
00:57:47,030 --> 00:57:48,622
I'll do it now
800
00:57:56,005 --> 00:57:57,870
How're you doing?
801
00:58:00,910 --> 00:58:02,810
With all the things and the love
802
00:58:04,380 --> 00:58:05,813
You are there!
803
00:58:28,371 --> 00:58:30,305
Everybody say yeah!
804
00:58:31,875 --> 00:58:34,901
Don't ever think in your mind thatthe people go to church don't party.
805
00:58:35,945 --> 00:58:38,914
People, the same peoplethat you see Saturday night...
806
00:58:39,249 --> 00:58:41,444
the same ones you seeon Sunday morning.
807
00:58:41,918 --> 00:58:48,983
I talk about Jesus lift me up,
and Saturday night, a baby lifts me up.
808
00:58:49,526 --> 00:58:52,723
You know, I just wanna
be lifted up by my baby...
809
00:58:52,795 --> 00:58:55,286
and then Sunday morning
I wanna be lifted up by Christ.
810
00:58:56,266 --> 00:58:59,235
No different.
No different at all.
811
00:58:59,302 --> 00:59:00,701
No different in the dance
812
00:59:00,770 --> 00:59:04,729
you just, once you dance for Satan
or you dance for Christ.
813
01:00:36,599 --> 01:00:39,067
One Saturday morning whenI was downtown with my father...
814
01:00:39,135 --> 01:00:41,933
it was probably 1950 or '51...
815
01:00:42,505 --> 01:00:44,666
there was this group of musicians...
816
01:00:44,874 --> 01:00:49,368
I got a woman down
817
01:00:49,445 --> 01:00:53,142
one playing the upright bass,one playing the four string guitar...
818
01:00:53,983 --> 01:00:55,450
and one playing the washboard.
819
01:01:00,189 --> 01:01:07,095
If you don't know no rhythm
820
01:01:09,932 --> 01:01:12,025
It was just so loose and funky and...
821
01:01:12,101 --> 01:01:13,796
I had never heard anything like it...
822
01:01:13,870 --> 01:01:18,466
and I was utterly hypnotized
and enraptured by this thing you know.
823
01:01:19,008 --> 01:01:23,069
My father, when the song was over,
of course, my father made me leave...
824
01:01:23,146 --> 01:01:25,114
so I only got to hear the one song...
825
01:01:25,181 --> 01:01:30,744
but after that, other things in life
just didn't seem as important.
826
01:01:30,920 --> 01:01:32,353
I had to find out...
827
01:01:32,422 --> 01:01:35,914
I mean obviously this music
was somewhere very close to me...
828
01:01:36,259 --> 01:01:39,490
but because of racial barriersI couldn't get there.
829
01:01:41,664 --> 01:01:49,264
Beale street was itself an islandinside a city of white folks.
830
01:01:49,939 --> 01:01:53,932
I got something to tell youKeep it to yourself
831
01:01:56,746 --> 01:02:01,183
I got something to tell youKeep it to yourself
832
01:02:04,153 --> 01:02:06,587
Don't you tell your husband
833
01:02:06,723 --> 01:02:10,215
I learned about WDIA throughmy parents yard man...
834
01:02:10,293 --> 01:02:14,730
who would eat lunch in the kitchenand switch the radio.
835
01:02:15,898 --> 01:02:21,393
His name was Alexand he took it upon himself to...
836
01:02:21,471 --> 01:02:23,462
teach me the thingsthat I needed to know...
837
01:02:24,474 --> 01:02:25,600
thank God he did.
838
01:02:25,908 --> 01:02:29,969
And he taught me to shoot craps and he
taught me to play smut and pity pat...
839
01:02:30,046 --> 01:02:31,707
and he taught me
to throw a knife underhanded...
840
01:02:31,781 --> 01:02:33,976
and other things that he thought
were significant...
841
01:02:34,817 --> 01:02:37,115
not to be a smart Alec Yankee kid.
842
01:02:37,754 --> 01:02:41,485
And this is incredibly
politically incorrect...
843
01:02:41,891 --> 01:02:44,223
you'll have to forgive my ebonics.
844
01:02:44,293 --> 01:02:48,423
But he said everything in music
is made up by the cho'ds.
845
01:02:49,298 --> 01:02:52,665
And I thought, well that explains it,
it's a damn code...
846
01:02:52,735 --> 01:02:54,134
no wonder I couldn't figure it out.
847
01:02:54,203 --> 01:02:56,330
Why didn't my mother tell me
it was a code?
848
01:02:56,405 --> 01:02:58,134
Because I thought
he meant like secret code...
849
01:02:58,207 --> 01:03:00,368
like Captain Midnight or Morse code.
850
01:03:00,777 --> 01:03:04,577
He meant chords. And he said
this is how you make some cho'ds.
851
01:03:04,647 --> 01:03:06,114
You take a note any note...
852
01:03:06,649 --> 01:03:11,882
and you go up three and down
four and that's a cho'd.
853
01:03:12,088 --> 01:03:15,819
I thought, my god it's a pattern.
I can do that.
854
01:03:16,058 --> 01:03:18,390
And that was it, the cho'ds.
855
01:03:20,930 --> 01:03:23,194
My band in high school,the Regents...
856
01:03:23,266 --> 01:03:28,033
we had two hot sets of rock'n roll liketypical fraternity house rock 'n' roll.
857
01:03:28,437 --> 01:03:32,840
We had a 3rd set of blues, Jimmy Reeves,
John Lee Hooker Muddy Waters...
858
01:03:32,909 --> 01:03:37,437
and we basically played that to make
the audience leave, which they would do.
859
01:03:39,448 --> 01:03:42,246
In the yard, baby,You see what you ain't done
860
01:03:42,618 --> 01:03:48,056
You got my loveYou got me on your lawn
861
01:03:48,124 --> 01:03:52,493
I started to notice that especiallythe college crowd would stay...
862
01:03:52,562 --> 01:03:54,257
when we startedto play the blues...
863
01:03:54,330 --> 01:03:58,164
and I 'member specifically seeing it
come down from college...
864
01:03:58,367 --> 01:04:00,335
to the high school crowd...
865
01:04:00,403 --> 01:04:04,806
in terms of hipness,
"Oh, what is this hip black stuff?"
866
01:04:04,874 --> 01:04:08,401
What is this music about?
Who is Muddy Waters, you know?
867
01:04:10,046 --> 01:04:14,540
I bought my first B.B. King album
the first day the same day...
868
01:04:14,617 --> 01:04:17,415
I bought the Kingston Trio's
first album...
869
01:04:17,587 --> 01:04:23,048
and if you see what's happening there,
it was folk music.
870
01:04:23,459 --> 01:04:25,984
The blues was and is folk music.
871
01:04:29,966 --> 01:04:33,424
I used to play the Filmore,
when it was owned by another person...
872
01:04:34,303 --> 01:04:37,238
at that time
it was ninety percent black.
873
01:04:38,074 --> 01:04:40,975
This time we go out
to the Filmore West...
874
01:04:41,410 --> 01:04:46,313
I saw all these long-haired kidsand all white kids.
875
01:04:46,382 --> 01:04:49,545
B.B. Said, " Mr. Walker,
you need to find the right place"...
876
01:04:50,219 --> 01:04:54,019
and daddy said, "Well, this is
what is on the paper", he said...
877
01:04:54,090 --> 01:04:55,955
"Have you looked out there?"
878
01:04:56,792 --> 01:05:01,388
There were white people around
the block and daddy said "Yeah"...
879
01:05:01,464 --> 01:05:04,092
he said, "Well you need to find
the right place, Mr. Walker".
880
01:05:04,467 --> 01:05:07,800
Daddy said, so he drove off and
drove around the neighborhood...
881
01:05:07,870 --> 01:05:10,202
and came back,
stopped at the same spot...
882
01:05:10,673 --> 01:05:14,006
B.B. Said,
"Mr. Walker, what's the problem?
883
01:05:14,076 --> 01:05:16,237
You know you can't find
where you need to go?
884
01:05:16,479 --> 01:05:19,937
My road manager went inside
and when he saw...
885
01:05:20,816 --> 01:05:22,147
Bill Graham talked to him...
886
01:05:22,218 --> 01:05:24,948
and Bill said, no this is the right
place, so he came out to the bus...
887
01:05:25,021 --> 01:05:26,784
and said no B
this it come on out.
888
01:05:27,657 --> 01:05:31,058
He talking to me like he known me
all the time or knew about me.
889
01:05:31,894 --> 01:05:35,557
And the best intro I thinkI've ever had and the shortest...
890
01:05:36,499 --> 01:05:40,435
he said, Ladies and Gentlemen I bringyou the chairman of the board B.B. King.
891
01:05:41,537 --> 01:05:45,564
Everybody stood up, everybody,
you could hear a pin...
892
01:05:45,641 --> 01:05:46,835
everybody stood up.
893
01:05:48,978 --> 01:05:52,379
I ain't never had this happen
to me before ever in life.
894
01:05:53,883 --> 01:05:57,444
They all stood up andthen started to applaud.
895
01:05:58,487 --> 01:06:01,547
Well, man, that got to me so muchI couldn't stand it.
896
01:06:01,624 --> 01:06:03,421
I stood up thereand started crying.
897
01:06:05,828 --> 01:06:09,525
Do you know out of my
forty five minutes playing...
898
01:06:10,933 --> 01:06:13,731
I had about three or
four standing ovations...
899
01:06:14,236 --> 01:06:16,898
and when I got ready to leave
they stood up again.
900
01:06:17,673 --> 01:06:21,507
And that was the beginning
of playing to a different...
901
01:06:22,478 --> 01:06:23,445
crowd of people...
902
01:06:23,512 --> 01:06:26,675
and that night instead of having
about ninety percent black...
903
01:06:26,749 --> 01:06:29,274
we had about
ninety five percent white...
904
01:06:30,453 --> 01:06:31,784
first time ever...
905
01:06:32,388 --> 01:06:36,222
and that was a feeling, I don't know
how to describe, but I wish I could.
906
01:06:55,845 --> 01:06:58,837
When Martin Luther Kingwas assassinated in Memphis...
907
01:06:59,415 --> 01:07:03,249
Detroit caught fire, Atlanta caught fire,Los Angeles caught fire.
908
01:07:03,319 --> 01:07:04,946
Memphis didn't catch fire.
909
01:07:05,354 --> 01:07:09,415
Some sailors broke some windows,
we went under curfew...
910
01:07:09,492 --> 01:07:11,960
the tanks went up and down the streets,
all of that's true...
911
01:07:12,795 --> 01:07:16,526
but Memphis didn't burn,
there was no riot.
912
01:07:17,700 --> 01:07:22,103
The uh, it's like the old song,
"Mr. Crub Don't Like lt"...
913
01:07:22,738 --> 01:07:28,404
and the city fathers chose
this opportunity...
914
01:07:28,477 --> 01:07:34,905
to tear down a black community
that represented black history.
915
01:08:04,213 --> 01:08:09,048
When I came back from New Yorkand they tore Beale Street down?
916
01:08:10,086 --> 01:08:12,020
My heart was broken...
917
01:08:12,755 --> 01:08:17,988
you know, they had buried
my heart in a shallow grave...
918
01:08:18,794 --> 01:08:25,893
you know, and I was just hurt, I wrote
a blues called Reconstruction Blues...
919
01:08:26,302 --> 01:08:31,399
and I went down on the river
and I sang to myself.
920
01:08:31,941 --> 01:08:33,374
You know that...
921
01:08:33,809 --> 01:08:39,941
I'd rather be anywhere else thanIn this home of the blues I know
922
01:08:41,283 --> 01:08:44,719
I was hurt and I woulda jumped
in that muddy Mississippi...
923
01:08:44,787 --> 01:08:46,345
in that muddy water...
924
01:08:47,389 --> 01:08:50,153
but I knew a baptismal
wouldn'ta helped.
925
01:08:52,361 --> 01:08:55,387
Beale Street
926
01:08:56,565 --> 01:08:59,898
Ain't Beale Street no more
927
01:09:01,337 --> 01:09:04,101
My street don't go
928
01:09:05,241 --> 01:09:09,541
I don't have no place elseTo do my show
929
01:09:11,914 --> 01:09:16,578
Dig a little holeAcross the street
930
01:09:17,887 --> 01:09:21,323
That's where me and Rufus Thomas
931
01:09:22,358 --> 01:09:24,383
Used to always meet
932
01:09:26,095 --> 01:09:28,154
Look at my brother there
933
01:09:29,298 --> 01:09:31,664
And I see no interlude
934
01:09:32,468 --> 01:09:36,370
Where I used to stayFor twenty fourths in a night
935
01:09:36,939 --> 01:09:39,134
I couldn't pay my rent
936
01:09:39,675 --> 01:09:41,199
Beale Street
937
01:09:42,578 --> 01:09:45,342
Ain't Beale Street no more
938
01:09:48,217 --> 01:09:50,617
Ok, so we're set,
there aren't any worries there...
939
01:09:53,189 --> 01:09:55,521
Cool, we're on track, if you have
any trouble let me know...
940
01:09:55,591 --> 01:09:57,718
but everything should be
smooth sailing from here on in.
941
01:09:57,860 --> 01:10:01,091
Yeah cause I can. Red, white, and blue
sequin outfit as a presenter...
942
01:10:01,163 --> 01:10:04,030

with my cameras but that's fine.
943
01:10:04,099 --> 01:10:05,968
Let's just make sure he gets there
around 6:15...
944
01:10:05,968 --> 01:10:07,595
which is when we want B.B.

01:10:56,819 --> 01:10:57,911
Oh, boy.

- Thank you, Rosoc.
969

We haven't seen Milton, and his
cell phone is not turned on so...
970
01:11:25,981 --> 01:11:27,175
I don't know what we got there.
971
01:11:28,417 --> 01:11:29,349
That's pretty.
972
01:11:29,618 --> 01:11:33,110
- I like that, that's blue. That's blues.
- That's blues. That's it.
973
01:11:33,188 --> 01:11:35,019
You'll be singing the blues
and they be crying the blues.
974
01:11:36,225 --> 01:11:37,453
And no.
975
01:11:37,893 --> 01:11:39,861
The Lord bust you up and

976
01:11:39,928 --> 01:11:42,021
- I'm telling you the truth.
- I heard that.
977
01:11:42,531 --> 01:11:43,623
It's my gift, man.
978
01:11:43,699 --> 01:11:45,257
It got you covered
like dew on the ground.
979
01:11:45,701 --> 01:11:46,463
I'm telling you.
980
01:11:46,535 --> 01:11:48,264
Your poor, don't know it
and your feet don't show it.

01:11:48,337 --> 01:11:49,702
- I'm hearing you.
- I heard that.
982
01:11:50,572 --> 01:11:51,436
Smoke it over.
983
01:11:52,041 --> 01:11:54,202
Shift the mirror lookin' at you
and the streets got you.
984
01:11:54,410 --> 01:11:55,672
Why not? You deserve it.
985
01:11:55,744 --> 01:11:57,746
- I look pretty cool here don't I, man?
- That's it.
986
01:11:57,746 --> 01:12:01,204
Now, it been a while
since you got a bluesman to come in...
987
01:12:01,283 --> 01:12:02,773
and make your clothes
look this good.
988
01:12:02,851 --> 01:12:03,749
- I know that.
- Tell the truth.
989
01:12:03,819 --> 01:12:05,081
I know that.
You my number one.
990
01:12:05,287 --> 01:12:08,051
When we were kids
we were country kids...
991
01:12:08,123 --> 01:12:12,150
and my daddy farmed. So we paid for
at the end of the fall time.
992
01:12:12,227 --> 01:12:14,127
- Yeah I know it. Twice a year...
- Yeah, right.
993
01:12:14,196 --> 01:12:15,458
- In the fall and the spring.
- Fall time.
994
01:12:15,531 --> 01:12:17,123
I know, I been through that.
I know what's happening.
995
01:12:17,199 --> 01:12:19,167
So I want to get this on fall time.
996
01:12:20,102 --> 01:12:22,036
When things get great
and they get super bargain.
997
01:12:22,304 --> 01:12:23,202
You heard that.
998
01:12:23,272 --> 01:12:24,762
In God we trust.
That's what I talkin 'bout.
999
01:12:24,840 --> 01:12:27,536
- I wanna wear it now and pay later.
- I heard that. Well we can do that.
1000
01:12:27,609 --> 01:12:29,873
I be right behind you.
I be carrying your guitar for you.
1001
01:12:30,212 --> 01:12:31,941
You cool, man.
I like the way you operate.
1002
01:12:32,014 --> 01:12:33,447
We don't even have
to sign a contract, do we?
1003
01:12:33,515 --> 01:12:35,949
We can just sign now.
Contract is signed.
1004
01:12:36,018 --> 01:12:38,179
That's what my dad says,
"a handshake's better than money".
1005
01:12:38,253 --> 01:12:39,151
- Appreciate it.
- Always.
1006
01:12:39,221 --> 01:12:40,711
Got you covered
like dew on the ground.
1007
01:12:40,789 --> 01:12:42,256
- Bye bye.
- Thank you. Thank you very much.
1008
01:12:44,760 --> 01:12:46,489
No, you come right in
on right here.
1009
01:12:50,699 --> 01:12:51,757
Right here.

- Oh, I'm fine.
1012
01:12:57,339 --> 01:12:59,273
- I've been waiting all day long...
- We're glad that you're here.
1013
01:13:00,008 --> 01:13:01,839
For someone to pick me up,
sitting at the hotel.
1014
01:13:03,112 --> 01:13:03,737
All right.
1015
01:14:06,508 --> 01:14:07,873
What key is...
1016
01:14:08,877 --> 01:14:10,139
Ike's theme in?
1017
01:14:10,412 --> 01:14:12,505

Go back to here, yeah,

1019
01:14:26,762 --> 01:14:27,922
then let it change.
1020
01:14:33,068 --> 01:14:35,696
You play it or you hold it.
1021
01:14:35,771 --> 01:14:40,174
- I'll play it.
- Ok. That's good.
1022
01:14:41,543 --> 01:14:43,408
The intro bring him on.
1023
01:14:50,686 --> 01:14:52,916
We gotta... Everything's fine
on all the other cameras...
1024
01:14:52,988 --> 01:14:56,924
it's just that their crane is about
three stops darker than everything else.
1025
01:14:56,992 --> 01:14:58,152
We're not stopping the show.
Follow our spot.
1026
01:14:58,227 --> 01:15:00,593
Mark knows rule one:
We don't stop the live show...
1027
01:15:00,662 --> 01:15:02,687
I'm gonna be able to use
this shot for the whole show.
1028
01:15:02,764 --> 01:15:04,732
Lit the whole audience
for that shot.
1029
01:15:04,800 --> 01:15:07,291
Alright? Slowly in Camera 2.
1030
01:15:08,237 --> 01:15:10,364

1033
01:15:21,583 --> 01:15:24,677

1034
01:15:24,753 --> 01:15:25,549

There we are,
here we are.
1038
01:15:35,998 --> 01:15:38,933
I worked for nothing,
depending on who it is.
1039
01:15:39,501 --> 01:15:41,298
Here, one more shot.
1040
01:15:41,603 --> 01:15:43,628
- One more here.

1041
01:15:52,581 --> 01:15:54,549
It's three o'clock in the morning
1042
01:15:58,954 --> 01:16:03,391
And I can't even close my eyes
1043
01:16:08,430 --> 01:16:11,888
It's three o'clock in the morningBaby
1044
01:16:15,370 --> 01:16:19,067
And I can't even close my eyes
1045
01:16:24,346 --> 01:16:26,507
I can't find my baby
1046
01:16:30,352 --> 01:16:34,618
I can't even be satisfied
1047
01:17:30,178 --> 01:17:31,907
Reminiscing I think...
1048
01:17:34,416 --> 01:17:37,613
of the days that Rosco Gordon...
1049
01:17:39,588 --> 01:17:44,389
Ike Turner, Little Milton was
a little young, but he knows about it...
1050
01:17:46,762 --> 01:17:47,854
when it rained...
1051
01:17:50,065 --> 01:17:52,329
the streets would be wet
and then...
1052
01:17:54,369 --> 01:17:56,337
the paste poured
in your shoes...
1053
01:17:57,539 --> 01:18:00,269
you could count every rock
you stepped on.
1054
01:18:03,512 --> 01:18:05,070
Quite a few years ago...
1055
01:18:06,515 --> 01:18:09,211
I thank God
that we're all still around.
1056
01:18:18,260 --> 01:18:21,787
But I want to tell you this is the way
I felt at that time...
1057
01:18:28,804 --> 01:18:31,295
Nobody love me but my mother
1058
01:18:37,279 --> 01:18:39,440
And she could be jamming too
1059
01:18:44,586 --> 01:18:48,386
Nobody love me but my mother
1060
01:18:52,761 --> 01:18:54,695
And she could be jamming too
1061
01:18:59,601 --> 01:19:03,037
You people no moreMake fun
1062
01:19:07,542 --> 01:19:09,533

1063
01:19:11,680 --> 01:19:12,578

1065
01:20:23,318 --> 01:20:25,548
All night long
1066
01:20:27,322 --> 01:20:29,085
All night long
1067
01:20:30,792 --> 01:20:32,521
You love me no more
1068
01:20:34,729 --> 01:20:36,697
