    3 out of 5 stars Going through the motions.......2003-08-04

    I dunno....if I was playing to an audience of prison inmates, I don't think I would do "Let The Good Times Roll".
    The whole happy-go-lucky thing, not least the lines about the police coming to the door, seems kinda inappropriate.

    The music is good, though. King's playing is excellent (even though his vocals seem just a little bit tired here and there), and he is backed by a great band (pianist Eugene Carrier in particular is superb, and Calep Emphrey on the drums does a very fine job as well).
    But his cheerful chatter between (and during) the songs is a little bit annoying, and asking the audience to applaud the warden (!) is simply ludicrous. It's as though King is totally unaware of the fact that he is playing to a literally "captive" audience.
    When Johnny Cash recorded his "Live at San Quentin"-album, he was very much aware of the intensity of the situation, and he took it and ran with it to great effect, chosing his songs and his mannerisms with his audience in mind. King, who is usually a great entertainer, doesn't seem to know how to do that.

    This is not a bad record by any stretch of the imagination, but it feels a little like a wasted opportunity. B.B. King is just going through the motions...he might as well have been playing to Mr and Mrs Middle America and their friends as they sat enjoying a glass of wine, and that's a bit of shame.

    3 1/2 stars.

    5 out of 5 stars The next best thing.......2002-10-16

    I have seen B.B. King live, and he was just amazing - A brilliant musician, a crowd pleaser, and a bundle of energy. He is an amazing performer, and this live c.d. is awesome!! Worthy of any Blues fans collection, "Live at San Quentin" had me wishing I was a fly on the wall at that show. What a performance! Every song here is great, and King doesn't slow down for a minute. Like he says in the album, the blues doesn't mean "blue" as in depressing all the time. I actually listened to the entire c.d. while i was on the treadmill at the gym. It was very upbeat for the most part.
    A sensational record that is worth buying. Rather than have his whole catalog, I prefer this! It is just masterful!
    Highly recommended!!

    5 out of 5 stars What Live Albums Are All About.......2001-08-22

    I concur with the first reviewer. This is a great album. I used to like the Cook County Jail album a lot (and it's good), but this one has it beat. B.B. sounds so fresh, yet totally in control. It's really a classic album

    5 out of 5 stars King of the Blues.......2001-08-03

    Prison performances are sort of a standard for blues singers, and it just doesn't get any better than this -- B.B. King playing his classics live at the San Quentin Correctional facility. I used to have this cassette, but I played it so much that it popped!

    Here King is playing to a truly captive audience offering up such classics as "The Thrill is Gone," "Sweet 16," "In the Heat of the Night," and my personal favorite "Nobody Loves Me But My Mother." In the intro to that last selection King explains to the inmates that while the blues was not just about hard times, some of the tunes could be pretty depressing. "Some of it can be pretty down alley. Like I'm fixing to do right now. I'm going all the way down to the bottom." Yet he also encourages the audience to go on and boogie off some of the uptempo tracks. This is music from the heart, and you can just feel the soul of the artist. This is the blues -- unvarnished, straight up and raw -- served up by a master of the genre.

    King broke a few strings on his faithful Lucille during this performance, but he never misses a note. His voice is still clear after all these years and he still knows how to spin a tale through song. He does a few audience participation numbers and banters smoothly with the crowd and the band. This is a fundamental recording, and an important part of my collection.

    5 out of 5 stars One of B.B.'s Best!!!!.......2005-01-14

    B.B.'s live set, "Live At San Quentin," is, perhaps, one of his all time best album releases. From start to finish, he makes you laugh, cry, and boogie, all the while educating you as to what blues truly are, and that lesson being that they are not just weepy, depressing songs, but that they can be both happy and sad. When listening to "Live At San Quentin," it is uplifting to know that B.B. was bringing sunshine into the ordinary dreariness of prison life that his "captive audience" experienced daily. He did not need to remind them of their plight by delving into long, depressing sets and acting the part of a half-hearted rebel pretending to fully understand their situation. I highly recommend this CD to anyone who loves B.B. King's music, anyone who is a casual fan of B.B. and blues music, to anyone who is an uninitiated blues listener, or any music lovers, in general. This is a first class masterpiece!

    3 out of 5 stars One of BB's weakest sets.......2004-05-06

    It's not BB;s fault, his singing and playing are faultless on the cd. It seems the jailbirds weren't too receptive to the blues legend and that the material(not all of it) and backup band sound dated. Afful songs like Into The Night, are terribly dated soundubng today. BB however sounds great on Sweet Little Angel, Sweet sixteen, and a few others. all bb performances have value, but try others before this, if this cd were a pizza it would be a regular pepperoni pizza from a chain pizza restaurant. ok

    5 out of 5 stars Pure Blues Fun.......2001-10-11

    Is there any doubt B.B. King has the sweetest sounding vibrato in blues history? "Live at San Quentin" is a tribute to B.B.'s greatness as a guitar hero and to his ability to entertain. If you can keep an unruly batch of inmates entertained, you must be doing something right. From "Let the Good Times Roll" to "Rock Me Baby," B.B. King shows here that he can make the blues fun- fast or slow.

    5 out of 5 stars Live fun without the video!.......1999-04-02

    Now I must tell you that I am a B.B. King fan and rarely miss a concert. Any time I want to attend one of his concerts when he is not in town, I slide in this CD. Fun, great music, positive beat-you'd never know that it was recorded in a jail unless the periodic references to the warden. I love this CD because it has his great tunes, audience involvement and shows his caring side. I'd give 83 stars but it only goes to 5-oh well.
