I had the chance to see blues legend B.B. King at the House of Blues on Sunday. Although I'm not much of a blues fan, the music was brilliant, and the King was in good voice and great spirits. And what a storyteller! Suffice it to say many a mention was made to a "Mr. Viagra" in his tales.
Anyhoo, enjoy a taste of the show with this raw video I took of the song "I Need You So."
Friend of Orientations Rusty Johnson hosts some of his musician pals 7-11 p..m. at Brooklyn Jazz Cafe, 1701 S. Lamar St. Good chance to get off the Strip and see a great show.

It's hard to believe that the guys in Bowling for Soup have been together for 15 years. Probably because they still get a kick out of making poop jokes. But that doesn't take away from their musical output, which has caught the ears of pop-punk fans (some of them Grammy voters) all around the world. They'll play three anniversary shows this weekend, including this one in Denton tonight. With Valve and the Leftovers. 7 p.m. Dan's Silverleaf, 109 Industrial St. in Denton. bowlingforsoup.com.
Baltimore group Animal Collective doesn't rest on its ability to create sublime melodies. It takes a unique approach to delivering them, and that's what makes it one of the more interesting musical acts in the biz today. With opening act Black Dice. 8 p.m. House of Blues, 2200 N. Lamar St. Sold out. 1-800-745-3000 or ticketmaster.com.
