B.B. King’s performance at Ravinia this past weekend was proof enough that he’s still got it. Who cares that this was his 80th birthday bash and who cares about his plans for retirement. Do care about the amazing crowd he drew, to their feet nonetheless, and do care about the amazing sound he still has. Do care that he acted nothing like he was 80 years old, almost 81. His performance was nothing short of amazing. Which in turn, led to another amazing Ravinia experience. Playing to more than 16,000 Ravinia-goers, King’s performance this past weekend was one of the most mind-blowing performances he has given in Chicago ever before. Playing a variety of blue’s music, King impressed the crowd with his extreme guitar-playing skills, proving that he is still the King of blues.
