Live at the Regal is a live album by B.B. King, recorded on November 21, 1964, at the Regal Theatre in Chicago. The album is regarded as one of the best blues recordings of all time and received high praise from critics. It made the Rolling Stone list of the 500 greatest albums of all time and was selected for permanent preservation in the National Recording Registry at the Library of Congress in the U.S. B.B. King performed alongside pianist Duke Jethro, bassist Leo Lauchie, trumpeter Kenneth Sands, and others. During the performance, an interesting situation occurred when Jethro had to play the piano due to the organ breaking down, even though he didn’t know how to play it.
