I last saw BB King over twenty years ago. I remember the event well. He played at the Mill Run Theater (in Niles, IL, a Chicago suburb), and that night, there was a record snowfall in the Chicago area. All through the day, we kept calling the Mill Run to verify that he was going to actually show. On our last call, I aksed if it was OK that we come dressed in jeans and boots. The person that I spoke with said that if we could make it, we could wear about anything we desired. Well, we did make it (in my tow truck), and the concert was wonderful.
After the concert, I spent the rest of the night pulling cars out of drifts with my wrecker. After the cost of my tickets, I was over a thousand dollars better off!
Yes, it was a night to remember! Enjoy!
