Tonight, blues legend B.B. King performs at the Mahalia Jackson Theater. In 2003, he was the subject of a PBS documentary, The Road to Memphis. The extras added to the DVD release of the documentary include this guitar solo by King, played with the tone that so many of us hear in our heads when we hear the words “blues guitar.”

Tickets are on sale now; the show starts at 8 p.m.
