B.B. King's King Biscuit Flower Hour captures the legendary blues guitarist in concert in the '80s. The presence of George Benson on &I Got Some Help I Don't Need& and &Just a Little Love,& and Johnny & Edgar Winter on &Goin' Down Slow,& suggests that the concert was more special than it actually was. In reality, it was simply an average concert with B.B. running through average material; the only classics were &How Blue Can You Get& and &The Thrill Is Gone.& The performances are competent, but not inspired, making the disc really of interest to hardcore B.B. collectors, especially since there's a lot of better live B.B. on the market.
