I was very blessed and fortunate to have played and toured with Albert King for a while. I was playing trombone on this tour.
You could feel the power emulating out of him clear across the stage.
my man. you are a legend
Awesome opportunity, congrats....👍
Salute
I can't imagine the cajones it took to be on the same stage with Albert. Intimidating... powerful...
Oh man I could talk to u for hours I bet he was amazing to be around
This man looked SRV straight in his face and told him he was "pretty" good
This blues master is nothing but the truth , the holy truth!!
SRV called Albert Daddy. Nuff said.
Best comment I’ve ever seen. Had me dying. Thank you! This post immediately had me laughing.
I think the point of him saying that was more of a lesson.. remember he said “the better you get, the harder you have to work.. don’t ever get so good and say I got it all, don’t ever do that..” then he says to Stevie.. “you already pretty good.. and you gone get better” So I think it was lesson in what he was saying.. 💯
@@gavindandrick7486 yeah probably
Incredible. Thank you to Rick Beato and Joe Bomamossa for introducing me to this performance.
I've heard it but thanks to those two I had to come see it!
I also looked this up because Joe talked about it
Me too. Much appreciated.
same
Same here. Man, listen to that tone! Killer
I once saw Albert King at a community college. They only charged a dollar for the concert - the deal of a lifetime. He was amazing.
Profusely sweating, bending almost everything, pure soul, delivery. He is the
very definition of a blues showman. We love you Albert!
I really like listen to Albert King because it gives me a sense of of center of square one you know square one square two square three just like on the chess board right I'm going to move to win our King was the best Albert King was the best 🎵🎵🎵😂
@@richardlake8303 Spliff?
@@richardlake8303 what the straight fuck are you talking about bro
He must have had Great guitar strings.. i wonder what brand and gauge ?
@@nelsonhibbert5267 50's term for maijuana
The fact that Jimi Hendrix & Stevie Ray Vaughan worshiped this man shows u everything u need to know about how amazing he was.
Absolutely 💯 %
Facts.. Albert was a monster
And he talk about jimi saying he got his own thing but its not the real blue's and Jimi Hendrix never said anything bad about Albert after being asked about what king said tells you everything
@@justicemcdonald2939
Albert king had that "Boomer" mentality
@@wesleyalan9179 what's that got to do with anything that I said or he said cuz when he stated was the facts Jimi Hendrix was not real blues that's a fact that wasn't a boomer mentality
Greatness of the internet. Albert King on demand. Only a dream as a child.
MPWorldway Amen brother
Really! I wish i had had all this when i was a teenager!
@@whitehorsedancing I am and I have it. Such an inspiration
Facts!
Even with the respect that Albert gets from hard-core blues fans, he still is under-rated. Outstanding guitarist, great musician.
SHO YOU RIGHT
Believe me, Albert has inspired a many!
I damn sure respect!
He's the "Velvet Refrigerator". I saw him with close to this lineup in Santa Cruz in 1976. His hands were huge.
got to see Albert King a Juneteenth Festival in Houston in the early 80s. he was the amazing sauce. Never saw any blues performance that came close, except perhaps John Lee Hooker with Carlos Santana in Golden Gate Park in the mid80s. oh and Carlos Santana was the most humble rock star sitting in ever. in fact, he was literally sitting. back to the Juneteenth Festival and Albert King, i was so blown away. and just to spice the day up, a very young Albert Collins also played that day. TH-cam has Stevie Ray Vaughan up next. saw him open for that stupid hotdog George Thorogood etc/man, after Stevie played, George shoulda hung up his guitar and said goodnight forever.
I love the story of Albert King coming into the studio while Stevie Ray was recording and asking him for like $1500. Stevie Ray gave him the money and Albert King said “This is for all of those licks you stole from me!”. Lol He loved Stevie and Stevie obviously loved him.
Ha! That's some real shit too.
RIP and long live Albert King (April 25, 1923 - December 21, 1992), aged 69
You will always be remembered as a legend.
This is one fo the finest examples of slow blues ever captured on film. Such distinctive phrasing and passion! His influence will live on for generations.
Got Blues ?
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
So many know his playing without even knowing it. You can hear Albert's influence ooze out of Jimi and SRV. Countless others.
@@lous8619 ...
I don't know about that. You can surely hear SRV copying Albert note-for-note and lick-for-lick but I can't recall hearing Hendrix do that.
Hendrix was much less of a LICK player than SRV and more about melody.
Every once in a while I hear some BB and some Buddy Guy but nowhere near as much Albert as SRV...who was a straight up copycat albeit a very very good one.
@FramrodLiggins I agree Hendrix is much more original and has many influences. I hear Albert's influence much more in SRV also but Jimi was certainly listening as well.
My first time hearing Albert King and I'm hooked. He's fantastic!
Welcome, my favorite....
Door to door, with Otis rush.
Same!
The best!
Me too! 🥂
Slow blues hits the soul. It gets right to point. This is one of the best slow blues performances hands down. By one of the masters
Wouldn't you just love a backing band like these guys.....man what a sound!!
This band just KILLS IT HERE🔥🔥
Albert was known for working his band hard and not taking any 💩.
No matter how many times I hear this, it never gets old. one of the all time greats

NOTICE THE DATE OF THIS CONCERT SEPT 23RD 1970 FIVE DAYS AFTER JIMI HENDRIX DIED ONE OF JIMIS IDLES!!!!
me to!
@@stuartdinkes8048 Right...when I tell people about him the 1st thing I always say is, "he's who Hendrix & Vaughn worshiped & idolized...that's how good he was"
Magnifique. Salutations
In the 21st Century, we've lost the Blues and replaced it with anxiety
Stevie Ray, Jimi, Johnny, Eric, Coco, all owe this guy a debt of gratitude.
This man is one of the best to ever do it. He deserves much more credit.
He’s is absolutely killing that Flying V! He’s making it cry! The tone is unbelievably strong with this one. Love it! And that vibrato! Sick!
Anyone who's held a 60s vintage Flying V knows it's an unwieldy, heavy, imposing instrument. Albert's girth dwarfs this guitar, making it appear almost 3/4 size. Those huge powerful hands swallow the neck and tame that beast of an axe, making it babble and whimper like a baby.
He doesn't have to try. This is truly BLUES
The Velvet Bulldozer
Actor Stephen Segal has Albert's V collection.
Dual Showman with 2x15 JBL speakers helps the process.
Johnny Winter once said, there is no money in the Blues, we do it because we love it!! RIP Johnny!!
At one point Johnny was the highest paid act in the US. Although he was playing Rock and Roll at the time. I loved Johnny big time seen him countless times. :-) Peace
@@jimiplayscobo5877 👍🏽
@@jimiplayscobo5877 Exactly! He opened for the best bluesman in America Michael Bloomfield. Mike introduced Johnny (Winters not Winter) as a "bad" guitar player, of course meaning very good. Executives from Columbia Records were watching, and signed Johnny with the biggest advance in music history, about $160,000 I believe. Of course my man Mike, the King of guitar, got snubbed. This kind of thing happened to poor Michael again and again. Yet Johnny was one of the greats too in the end.
@@oldgrannywheels Johnny's advance was 600.000. He helped revive a lot of the blues legends especially Muddy's career.
@@jimiplayscobo5877 THATS where the 6 came from in my mind, just in the wrong order ahahah! Goddamn, im lookin at videos of Muddy as we speak! God to talk to you brother, keep the blues alive always!
A mountain of a man. He had such a touch, tone with impeccable timing that Stevie Ray Vaughn picked up on and used it at will.
RIP to the both.
"Texas flood" ( song ) is pure Albert KIng.
"Jimi Hendrix used to take pictures of my fingers to try and
see what I was doing. He never quite figured it out, but Jimi was a hell of
guitar player, the fastest dude around at the time. To me, he was overplaying
when he tried to play the blues. He’d hit two or three good licks here and
there and then speed them up and hit them over and over until he’d drown out
all the good ones. The kids loved it and I liked his playing, that was his style.
But don’t call him a great bluesman. I think he was going more in that
direction, but we’ll never know because he didn’t take care of himself." ~ Albert King ~
Wow ! 👨🏿💼👦🏿🤔🇺🇸
Where is that quote taken?
5 days after Hendrix died
@@michaelnero1550 wherefrom?
People always have to bring up the god, Jimi Hendrix. He had very little in common with Albert King’s playing (whereas SRV combined elements of Albert King with Hendrix to arrive at his own volcanic style). Having lived that era, I would say, Hendrix was great for the time, and for what he was: a showman, innovative in a number of respects, very skilled at effects, but vastly overrated in actual playing, and this is so evident when he tried to play an acoustic guitar; there were many better guitarists, in every genre. Saw Terry Kath at the Fillmore in ‘69. There’s a reason he impressed Hendrix. Anyone who ever saw Jerry Reed when he was serious, or Chet Atkins, Wes Montgomery, Joe Pass up close, knows. But pollsters put JH at the top, ignoring cats like Kath, Danny Gatton, Roy Buchanan, Gary Moore, etc. It’s ludicrous.
This guy could play a whole song on a 1-string guitar! Those bends!
He only used 3 strings
"Those bends" you said ! That's why nobody could never play like him. Imagine, bending a string to 4 tones and still sound in tune ! Who else dare? He also was a good arranger. What too many people don't know. I have a blues Heaven, and at the very top is Albert King.
@@nidranrebreski2828 man seeing all the hype behind him I’ve never even heard of Albee. But I’m not a blues fan. I’m an RnB fan and play guitar. Which is the offspring of blues. So I came back to learn my history. I’m from Memphis and Chicago so I know about BB King. Idk how I’ve only just now found out about Albert. In all honesty I thought Flying V’s were lame until I saw him ripping that one up.
Not bends...pulls.He pulled down to get that fat tone with the little E on top.
someone get this man a towel
@Bronson Kyson i talk to myself too sometimes
Stage lights are hot
@Lincoln Ledger fuck off
Nah bro that’s classic Albert King. The sweat of the blues.
I used to sweat under the stage lights a lot and my hand used to slip off the guitar, then after nearly 30years of gigging I walk behind a bar during my guitar solo and they had a box fan running, it was amazing...since then...box fan in front of me...never looked back. Bet he would have loved one of them, legend.
S.R.V. plays these opening licks note for note on Texas Flood. I always loved the tone of Albert King. He had some serious bite in his sound. A guitar heros' , guitar hero. Never gets old.
Why does Albert have all those notes on his guitar. My guitar didn't come with most of them....Hmmm
Any guitar has those "notes." Practice the blues scale up and down the neck, get your bends down, and listen to the music constantly. It's all in the hands!!!!
I think thats a wonderful comment... it sums up how a lot of us fewl when watching these masters. :)
Stuart Potterton There is definitely a lot of mystique to this music - especially when we first hear it.
Brinski mine either. Bringing it back. Well I swiped it, so I can't.pfft.
@@mixmastercj100 and he pretty much played a right hand guitar it's what's killer to me.
Bill Graham lets Sha Na Na headline over Albert ??? I don't get it......
Bill was a white guy and greedy
That phrasing, that sound, that vibe. Sheer power.
It's absolutely amazing that we have this footage!
Blues power!

Left handed guitar player with a right handed flying V ! Strings upside down! Genius !
always tough to wrap my head around that. Its like learning a new language with a new alpahbet, I would imagine . Like going from English to japanese or arabic
a flying v with strings upside down is just a lefty with the volume control on top
@@TwelfthRoot-tt5nm Try to play with strings upside down. This is my point
@@jea783 if the strings are upside down but he holds it the other way around then the strings are normal. its just the body of the guitar that is upside down.
@@TwelfthRoot-tt5nm No it is not .He is playing a guitar upside down. That is a left handed guitar and he is playing it right-handed .
You can definitely hear where SRV got his tasty licks and feel from. Albert was his mentor. R.I.P to both of the brothers. Always missed...never forgotten.
You left out Hendrix and Johnny Winter if you're talking about where SRV copped both his phrasing and his sound in general.
Brothers and friends indeed. Naught ego either!
@@dantean moreso albert and johnny than hendrix...
@@bensblues Not to my ears.
music is always about fusing those who were before and making it your own
Albert's tone is even bigger than he is. I guess we know where SRV got his from.
petec9686 yup.. when you hear Stevie you hear where his influence came from
petec9686 i hear alot of Albert in Stevies playing. Dont you agree
Yep. Some Albert, some Jimi, some Buddy Guy, and poof you got Stevie. All of them legendary. 👌
Stevie rays Signature playing style is Albert King all the way.Albert King is who let Stevie sit in for the very first time and get noticed.I think it was at Antoine’s
Can u dig it
Fuck me... how much longer do I have to play to sound like this
You gotta hurt some to play like this...
Man I laughed when I read your post. Its in your fingers. Keep at it
its not in your fingers :) believe me, its in your ears! your fingers just have to learn to play it ^^
Forever
a long fukin time !! lol
Albert's tone on this recording is simply sublime
I have Blues Power tattooed on my inner forearm. Every time I look at it, I get motivation from my hardships, and do my best to use them to my advantage and overcome them. BLUES POWER.
Stay blessed.
How good was Albert King? Stevie Ray Vaughan literally called him daddy.
When? When they was jamming in Canada
Look at him sweat, a true labor of love, pourin ' out his soul!
One of The 3 Kings of Blues!! Albert..BB..and Freddie King!! RIP and Memory Eternal to All 3...
His sound and tone is what sets him apart from his contemporaries
The man can flat out play and sing. A true gift to music
His timing,, his feeling, you know hees got the blues..
That man is like 7feet tall...that guitar looks like a kids guitar in his hands lol and he's destroying it like a king. Also he's playing it upside down...with his left hand without a pick. This man is God
FlixX Wolf and howling wolf was even bigger!
FlixX Wolf Jimmy Hendrix and Janis Joplin played with him at the Filmore East,now that had to be some night!
@@silentrage2285 now now, I have searched for that actual performance for years, probably will never ever find it, and all i will have is that stevie ray vaughan song where he talks about it for 5 minutes... im guessing thats where you heard about it too.
Bob S. Stevenson it could have been at the Filmore in Frisco, there's a Filmore there too.
Songs of frsn msrtin
Albert King is the greatest Blues Guitarist period don't even think for a min SRV is even close to albert.why because Albert had waaaaaay more tone and power
Albert had WAY more power and tone than SRV without ANY of the boxes and pedals SRV used. That’s why they can’t be compared.
"B.B. King's brother", a true legend, but still underrated. He developped his self-taught individual style playing left handed on a right handed guitar (his first "guitars" were self built).
he makes every single note count!! never "overplays"
He plays what he feels. It's not scales really fast. His guitar speaks for him: simple, soulful, elegant. He is still miles behind Freddie King in bringing the voice out in every note, penetrating soul from his lady.
@@franciskralovec3326 couldnt have said it any better...im not a guitar player bur it sounds like you are....
Musical genius. This artist helped create one of the most legend player's
in our time SRV
god given talent,thats how a guitar should sound.
As a young teenager I saw Albert many times at the Fillmore West.
In the front row the guitar sounded like bombs dropping.
You have experience it in person, like the Grand Canyon, one of the wonders of the world.
@Emilio Conesa Wow!! Thnx for your brilliant and colorful comment!! Way to paint a picture for us reading this!!
Thnx
Same here brother. Lucky to catch him many times in his prime at FW and Winterland. I play blues harp and copy some of his phrasing in my bends. Always my favorite (AK). Jaw dropping when he was on the top of his game.
I'm just discovering him and I really think he might be the most expressive guitar player I've ever heard this just shook me to the core I'm floored
You just don't know what you've been missing. Listen to "crosscut saw, flat tire, how blue can you get, badluck blues or born under a bad sign"
Don't limit yourself to Albert.Theres so many.They will change you music taste.Checkout Otis Rush, Magic Sam, Buddy Guy, Ike Turner(before Tina), Freddie King.That will get ya started!
Albert King is one of the greatest artists ever. That voice and guitar playing are legendary.
Hello Michelle, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??
@@Trevorjennings35 I am, thank you.
@@michelletackett9489 Okay..
Hope you’re having a nice and a wonderful day today??
Thanx for making this great tune available to hear. This live version is outstanding. I begin to weep and tears come to my eyes upon listening, and watching Albert King here.
I kniw the feeling!!
So he flips the guitar upside down, for his left hand, and didn't restring it like Hendrix had, and he plays this sublime stuff?! This artistry of the finest. Thanks for posting it. Amazing.
hendrix could could play left and right handed with the strings strung either way on both
@@bensblues I was just gonna comment that. Jimmy used to switch from left hand to right hand when his dad would come in the room because his dad believed playing left-handed was witchcraft. I've heard it said that Jimi played just as good right-handed as he did left-handed. NOTE...Jimi was actually a right-handed person
@Seven Inches of Throbbing Pink Jesus glad to know ppl know him
It gave him a lot of that distinctive sound.. bending strings up or down - it just sounds different, I never figured why, but it does, try it .. the fingers work different
@@tomasvanecek8626 as a young guitar player back in the day i knew he sounded very different for the obvious reasons but then realized after staring at a picture realized he was playing upside down and backwards which really flipped me out...
This guy is the bombshell of BLUES! GOD Bless him immensely!
Man you can hear Mr. King”s influence all over in Stevie Ray Vaughan’s playing!!
Every lick is Albert's. SRV was a pretty serious copy cat.
Listen........some people are just gifted. Albert was one of em.
I refuse to listen to this at a low volume.My speakers be blasting loud to the max.Smoking and thinking...About everything.❤
Mine too...Love him and Albert Collins!
You are correct sir, this can not be listened to at anything less then max volume.
my man!
say that again Yo ear got to be in your foot if ya can't hear it.
Man I so badly need a join listening to this
You can hear every blues guitarist in his playing. Totally excellent
When I lived in Southern California I went with a friend to Pasadena and saw Albert, BB,and Bobbie Blue Bland perform. One of the best times of my life
Look at that man's face when he is feeling it. Tells you that the blues is as much about joy as it is about sorrow.
Blues is a feeling, whatever you're feelin' at the time.
Cold blooded Blues, I love this guy, this brings back so many memories for me as a child, my dad loved Albert King, as an Adult now, I can truly see why 💙
Never heard it referred to as cold blooded b4!
somewhere listening to this was a mesmerized 16 year old stevie ray vaughan who was about to quit his day job to try and make it big just like his idol albert king...
Listing to this track on the Blues Power album changed my life. Absolute magic.
OH ALBERT- OH ALBERT- HAVE MERCY
amen love
It’s like dying and going to heaven 🙏😁🥰
I love how he engages the audience and they become part of the song. Gorgeous timing and complete abandon to the moment.
Hello June, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??
Whatever you say about this blues tune it ain't gonna be enough to describe how good it is
This is as good as electric blues guitar gets. Ain't nothin' beat this.
I can name that Guitarist in One Note! I listen to Albert all the time. Awesome sound and awesome bends. He was something special! Albert King 👑 everyone!

It's up to 40! Hapless jamokes is what they are..

Albert's playing and guitar tone is so on point at this performance. I loved it!
Albert King had some incredible guitar licks. His touch was very subtle. He really knew how to make those strings sing.
The Late Great King....Albert! So glad I got to see him LIVE before he passed....I saw him a couple years after this recording.
Awesome
Ya ever see SRV live?
Yes -- loud and boring. But he was better once he got sober...
I learned the blues and I'm a blues girl through my dad. He was a great lead Guitar 🎸 blues man.. I love you Father😢. Guitar Nick name GOODIE.
@Martin G could you? haha
@Martin G have you ever played the guitar? I dont think you understand what's happening
@Martin G would you consider yourself a better guitarist than albert king?
@Martin G because they can play faster?
faxfax OK@Martin G fjp
SRV called this man daddy
He wasn't the only one... :-)
John Waldrup and Albert called Stevie Ray Vaughn his son.
And Albert was his Daddy when it came to playing the guitar 💕💜😍🙏
srv was a great guitarist to.
SRV and Albert did an LP together back in the early 1983. SRV produced and played on it.
This man, with many others, found a way to channel the worst of our american history into an escape for anyone with any wanting of better to everyone around us in our everyday lives....every notes hits rock bottom then picks you up...will always respect and keep in touch with every note. Thank you for everything you gave to me and your inspiration Mr King.
I just vomited
here thanks to Joe Bonamassa

I think Albert King, BB, and A.Collins are the greatest bluesmen of all time.

The lord blessed us with men like albert
incredible phrasing no flashy solo's just simple perfectly timed phrasing. and that vibrato on par ( even better) than B.B. incredibleQ!!!
Saw Albert King at a few nightclubs in the late '70's and early '80's' in Vancouver. Absolutely among the best, ever.

Hello Jacqueline, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??
I believe Joe Bonnamassa played Mr Kings Flying V here. Blues is just the truth. No bullshit.
what a legend, Albert King is Blues.
"ALBERT KING" es uno de los guitarristas de Blues que más ha influido en las nuevas generaciones, sus riffs y sus solos dieron al Blues de los años 60 la frescura que necesitaba. Esta presentación en vivo en el Fillmore East es una muestra de las mejores actuaciones en directo del gran "ALBERT".
The Fillmore was a superb concert hall. I saw many shows there. Everybody who performed at the Fillmore East had great shows. Thats why they recorded so many live lp's there. I didn't attend this show but I saw Albert King in 1968 at the Cafe Au Go Go in nyc. He was monstrous.
Best blues ever. 15 mins of playing only half a dozen different notes, but still making it interesting and expressive. Thats an art!
Well, you know what they say: it's not about how many notes you play, it's about HOW you play'em, WHEN you play'em and how much SOUL you put on them when you're playing'em. And this man had tons of all that in his playing
@@danielmicheli354 agree great comment
When I listen 2 music,I do not listen to just hear it.
I listen to FEEL it,this guy,Albert King,makes u feel the music the way an artist is suppose too.
RIP brother,as Johnny Guitar Watson said," that's a real mother ya."
dinamica espressività esperienza. tre cose che fanno dire alla chitarra discorsi blues
There is a lot to learn in that, limited notes with unlimited expression
Love Albert's unique phrasing and dynamics. Love the compliments of the commentators here.
Blues Power was the first blues album I bought back in the day. It defined what the Blues was all about and Albert embodied the Blues.
😎👍🏽🎶🔥♥️🔥🎶
He had one of the most unmistakable styles out there. You can't hear one of his songs and not know immediately who it is. One of my favorites and a true pioneer. You have to give credit to anyone that can rise to the level that he did while playing the instrument in a way that no one else does.
Mr king is like the wolf as soon as the music starts you know
Blues with The Master Albert King So Soulful One of the truly Outstanding Bluesman of all Time. ❤️💙🎸
make no mistake........this is the KING of the kings.

Hello Margaret, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??
Wish I could have got to see legends like this, and the blues lives on with my generation. God bless all the legends, respect 👏👏👏
We parked next to Albert's bus back stage at the King Biscuit Blues Festival in Helena in the 80s and got to sit at his pic-nic table with him between acts.That was a hell of a weekend.Also he didn't use a pick.I saw him in Memphis a year later, he remembered me and since he didn't have a pick, he gave me a pill bottle with his name on it.Filled at the pharmacy on Beale St.I have probably 150 picks from guitar players.That bottle is by far my favorite.I also have one from Spinal Tap's Nigel Tufnel'( Christpher Guest)picks.That was a hard one to get.lol Hes not an easy one to talk to.
