Mr. Intensity was present at this show, that's for sure. As is his custom, Ronnie and his band played a single, three hour set of instrumentals with a couple of tunes featuring the opening band singer, Racky Thomas, and his lead guitarist. Ronnie appeared to suffer from exhaustion right after this tune (it had to be in the 80s in the room); he put down his guitar, left the stag and was escorted downstairs. He reappeared, in a new shirt, a few minutes later to close out this tune.
Great video! But actually, this wasn't originally Freddie King. There's some debate as to who first recorded it, but my personal favorite was Otis Spann. I believe he recorded it back in 1926 or somewhere around there. These guys are doing a great job of it though! :)
This is so amazing.
Just hits me right in guts, bringing tears to my eyes.
I'd kill to be able to play at 1/100th of his level...
