After a 3 day rest! He was in Wenatchee Wednesday night if you can believe that! One night prior! Not bad for a Dude of His age! I would be tempted to stay home and watch cable in bed if I had His type of Money!Īnd here is the Bio and other cool info for you! Looks like he is heading to Portland on Sunday. stayed and signed stuff for about an hour as you can see here!) If you see him off stage he is surrounded by his handlers who act like they are from the Nation of Islam. I know he’s 84 or 85 yrs old, but, it’s getting really sad. In 80 minutes you get maybe 9 songs and a lot of talking.

(Eric posed by the fountain outside the casino after the show)! For about an hour! He was resilient and electric.
He announced that he would sign stuff and He just sat there in a chair on stage surrounded by security signing away. We could see great and I even shot a decent video at this point. They turned up all the lights as he continued to play on. The best part of the show was at the end. But He is 86! I decided to cut Him some slack! I wish He would have played more and talked less!īut He did play the songs! Here is a selection or sample of some of tracks He performed in Shelton: Every Day I Have The Blues, Key to the Highway, Rock Me Baby, The Thrill Is Gone, When The Saints Go Marchin’ In. So He went back into the Christmas song instead. At one point after he did a Christmas blues song”Merry Christmas Baby”, He tried to do a another song and plum forgot it. But He stopped a lot and talked way too much about about Viagra and Cialis. You could his guitar “Lucille” cutting through crisp and trebley. King played the guitar it was just great.

We are always on time and I picked up Vikki wit time to spare and we made it to the concert ahead of schedule. (Here is a shot I took of the big Guy at that very show in Shelton) I was scheduled for work at “The South Bay Pub” that night, but I go My Employee “Guy” to cover for me so that I could jet off and see this concert.
