I am a total BB King fan, but replacing a string during a performance is not that terribly difficult and many performers do it.

Rory Gallagher did it, and he played in a friggin’ trio...not so easy to vamp then.

I've never seen it in maybe 400 hundred concerts. Kudos to those cats.

It's easier to have a back up guitar tuned up and ready to go.

Stevie Ray Vaughn once had a fully strung guitar lowered over his head while he was playing so he could swap out the one he totally destroyed in the first part of a solo.
