I've seen him about 4 times in the last 5 years. He sits down in a chair now the whole time except the last song. It's not as good as 10 years ago. It's only worth it if you've never seen him at all. If you expect the way it was on Austin City Limits or live in Memphis or Ole Miss, you will not see that. If you are a musician, the band is very good. He played at our Elvis Festival here in Tupelo about 4 years ago and it was a short concert ,maybe 50 minutes, maybe 1 hour. not really worth it for $40. I would go if it is your first and only time to see him. He will not play much longer at all, his concert days are about over.

I have seen him 3 times, the last time was about 30 years ago (damn I feel old after typing that). He sat the whole time during the last concert so that is nothing new. Sometimes you just have to live with great old memories rather than risk replacing those with a dissapointment so I will probably not catch him live again...lots of cds and Pandora to keep me happy.

I saw him about a year or two ago. He came out late, was wheeled out in a wheelchair then sat his chair the whole time. He had some other guy with him who sat beside him and played most of the songs. BB would chime in and sing/play whenever he felt like it. If his health was that poor then, I can't imagine what he does on stage now.
