Newport Folk Festival, Festival Field, Newport, RI, 7-25-1968 to 7-28-1968, Part 6 - B. B. King

I posted five albums of the 1968 Newport Folk Festival, but there are ten in all. So here's the sixth one. It's a set from legendary blues guitarist B. B. King.

King was a tireless concert performer, usually playing concerts well over 300 nights a year. So it's highly likely this was his well-honed typical set done with a full band, without any changes for the folk theme or folky crowd of the festival. But that's fine. He was in peak form in the late 1960s, with his most acclaimed live albums from that time period, so it's good to have another live recording like this from him.

As with the other albums from this festival, there was some problem with wind blowing on the microphone, especially during the applause and banter. But I cleaned that up using the Izotope 10 audio editing program, just like I did for the other albums.

This album is 32 minutes long.
