    I cant get tired of watching this song. First: look at his expression from start to 14 second when he is playing the intro riff. Second: his great performance and clearly sung English. Third: his good intention to isolate the bassist at the end to introduce him to the crowd. Bassist usually get lost in the mix unless one pay close attention to the tune. Fourthly: if this tune doesn't make your body move, or at least your hand , then you gotta be a music Grinch. Lastly RIP

    He was, without a doubt THE master showman- blues ambassador, storyteller, with an incredible band that was clearly playing each instrument infused with so much joy and verve- the narrative of this song, and the way the riff keeps coming back in at the right time. So authentic, such a pure force of spirit

    @simon-b Před 8 lety +29

    This is probably one one of the finest live examples of this track out there.. maybe the the very best! (as is the live at nicks version of The Thrill is gone)
    I am big fan of BB and have every one of his albums, but coming onto youtube is one of my greatest pleasures in life.
    If i could make just one wish, i would not have been born in 1983, maybe 20 years or so earlier so i could have been at this gig live!!
    Love ya BB!!

    Man, am I glad I've seen him live 3 times. Once in Montreux in the 80s, very small venue with guest stars Etta James and Queen guitarist Brian May. Haha, and Brian May's solo too was stopped with the famous finger circling in the air. Even a man of the stature of Brian May was only a little boy on B.B.'s stage.

    Lyrics
    I've been around and I've seen some things
    People moving faster than the speed of sound
    Faster than the speeding bullet
    People living like Superman
    All day and all night
    And I won't say if it's wrong or if it's right
    I'm pretty fast myself
    But I do have some advice to pass along
    Along in the chorus of this song
    Better not look down
    If you want to keep on flying
    Put the hammer down
    Keep it full speed ahead
    Better not look back
    Or you might just wind up crying
    You can keep it moving
    If you don't look down
    An old girl friend of mine showed up the other day
    That girl have lived in love and for love
    And over love, and under love all her life
    If the arrows from cupid's bow that had
    Passed through her heart had been sticking
    Out of her body she would have looked like
    A porcupine, and she asked me
    B.B. do you think I've lived my life all wrong?
    And I said: The only advice I have to pass
    Along in the chorus of this song
    Girl
    Better not look down
    If you want to keep on flying
    Put the hammer down
    Keep it full speed ahead
    Better not look back
    Or you might just wind up crying
    You can keep it moving
    If you don't look down
    I was walking down the street at sunrise one morning
    In London, England
    And there was a very large Rolls Royce Limousine
    Pulling slowly along the street
    And in that Rolls Royce was the Queen of England
    Looking tired
    Just go back from a party, and the Queen leaned out and
    She said: Aren't you B.B. King? She said:
    Oh B.B., sometimes it's so hard to pull things together
    Could you tell me what you think I ought to do?
    And I said:
    Better not look down
    If you want to keep on flying
    Put the hammer down
    Keep it full speed ahead
    Better not look back
    Or you might just wind up crying
    You can keep it moving
    If you don't look down
