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 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
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
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
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 once saw Albert King at a community college. They only charged a dollar for the concert - the deal of a lifetime. He was amazing.
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
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 🎵🎵🎵😂

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! 🥂
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!
No matter how many times I hear this, it never gets old. one of the all time greats

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
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.
RIP and long live Albert King (April 25, 1923 - December 21, 1992), aged 69
You will always be remembered as a legend.
His sound and tone is what sets him apart from his contemporaries
This man is one of the best to ever do it. He deserves much more credit.
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
"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.
One of the best blues performances I've ever watched in my life.
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 💩.
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.
Father in Heaven, bless me with peace and comfort in times of trouble. When I am anxious or afraid, fill me with Your serenity. Let me feel Your comforting presence and find solace in Your eternal love.
Amén.
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
That phrasing, that sound, that vibe. Sheer power.
Albert's tone on this recording is simply sublime
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
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.
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.
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.
The man can flat out play and sing. A true gift to music
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.
It's absolutely amazing that we have this footage!
Blues power!

god given talent,thats how a guitar should sound.
Look at him sweat, a true labor of love, pourin ' out his soul!
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...
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??
This is as good as electric blues guitar gets. Ain't nothin' beat this.
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
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??
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 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
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...
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!
You can hear every blues guitarist in his playing. Totally excellent
make no mistake........this is the KING of the kings.
Evan Neuburger bb
SCHIZOPHRENIC LSD ADDICT Freddie.
Not huge on freddy he doesent look cool.
SCHIZOPHRENIC LSD ADDICT are you kidding- massive collars are *essential* for the blues!
+Evan Neuburger George Benson is the King.
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
Such a night!!! The Allman Bros were on the bill with Albert King on 9/23/70...
Stevie Ray, Jimi, Johnny, Eric, Coco, all owe this guy a debt of gratitude.
Albert king and Freddie king two of the most underrated guitarist.
since when lol
@@AnsiloPlaysGames a long time now some lists have the disrespect of ranking Freddie King as 55 and Albert 43 in the top 100 guitarists of all time.
@lat woods I mean, most people regardless of their color didn't create the blues
lat woods I agree ☝️ 100 % and not trying to make it a race thing but those that disagree are white guys that study “OUR” Greats and can never come close
@@aaronandrus6623 "Our greats" is quite the sentiment of basking in glory of others with whom you are not
"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).
This is my 3rd time watching & it gets better every time
Saw Albert King at a few nightclubs in the late '70's and early '80's' in Vancouver. Absolutely among the best, ever.
JIMI HENDRIX PASSED AWAY FIVE DAYS BEFORE THIS GIG!!!!
Listing to this track on the Blues Power album changed my life. Absolute magic.
I think Albert King, BB, and A.Collins are the greatest bluesmen of all time.
It REALLY doesn't get any better than this ! The real Blues power !!!
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!
This is Mr. Albert King. "This is blues power."
Blues hurts, but I like it though...Hurts so good...
His timing,, his feeling, you know hees got the blues..
Albert's playing and guitar tone is so on point at this performance. I loved it!
Musical genius. This artist helped create one of the most legend player's
in our time SRV
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...
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
One of The 3 Kings of Blues!! Albert..BB..and Freddie King!! RIP and Memory Eternal to All 3...
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!
One of the three Kings of the blues! This Fillmore set on video is incredible for it's video clarity, enabled by the super high-wattage movie lights close to the stage, cooking the performers. Priceless footage!
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....
Hard to full appreciate when I follow so many guitarists that were inspired by him but I can hear it. The way he stays in an area and the bends, as he puts it he’s paying attention...feels the soul
This guy is the bombshell of BLUES! GOD Bless him immensely!
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
I love how hes preaching like in the church, this is the real spirit of this music
Whatever you say about this blues tune it ain't gonna be enough to describe how good it is
You can tell he loved playing the blues.!!!!!!
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.
I like how he tells you he's got the blues case it's been 10 weeks since he has seen his main squeeze and the proceeds to show and MAKE you feel what he is feeling through his guitar..... the power of music when done right.
🎯🙏🏽🎯
Albert King is absolutely wonderful
So talented his soul shine through on each beautiful note!
Hello Jacqueline, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??
I saw Albert King in the mid 70s he was mesmerising and brilliant, in the quiet sections all you could hear was everyone's feet tapping in time with the music, it was absolutely sensational
!
Alberts playing and his tone had something special about them, something that resonates with you. So far I haven't heard a single blues player who could reproduce Alberts style of playing, not even his tone.
The King at his best. I play, and I just sit here and shake my head. The King, the best blues man ever.
The Fillmore was a superb concert hall. I saw many shows there. Everybody who performed at the Fillmore East had great shows. That's why they recorded so many live lp's there. NYC never again had such a perfect theater for live music. I didn't attend this show but I saw Albert King in 1968 at the Cafe Au Go Go in nyc. It was a small club and I lucked into a table in front of the stage. He was monstrously powerful. And he was a sweet man who (like many bluesman of the 60s) clearly enjoyed the appreciation and work he received from the audiences of hippies n' hipsters who'd discovered those great musicians for themselves in that era. May they all rest in peace now, secure in the knowledge their music will last for eternity.
my fucking god that man is literally pouring his heart out, the way he plays makes me look at the sky and be sure the stars glow brighter when blues are playing
The giant with the hands of an angel.

@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
Albert King had some incredible guitar licks. His touch was very subtle. He really knew how to make those strings sing.
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.
😎👍🏽🎶🔥♥️🔥🎶
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!!
soooo ahead of his time and influence still rings clear today in blues,rock , and even country now...miss you albert
God this man is such a legend. Wish I was alive during the early electric blues days. These guys were just out of this world.
Blues with The Master Albert King So Soulful One of the truly Outstanding Bluesman of all Time. ❤️💙🎸
The KING of TONE and proof that its all in the fingers and heart. he makes it look so easy, the definition of a Blues guitarist, SRVs mentor, the video with King and SRV is one pf the best performances I have ever seen, do not miss it.
That is a great performance and SRV shows a lot of class.
Now if you want something more interesting check Hendrix on TH-cam playing Red House at Royal Albert Hall in 1969.
It's a long solo that goes through a lot of changes.
Albert King is my all time favorite BLUES guitarist and singer.
Often imitated but never equalled.
So much passion & so sooo good.
I love the B=blues its inside my bones..
A whole lotta credit to a teacher goes out to this man as a soul. A solid fact! Respect!
Baker wtf, been watching you for like 8 years. Had no idea you liked albert! Hell ya brotha
Albert King is too undervalued!
Good Gawd Mr. King is putting it down. Lucy is screaming the blues, he is truly in his element here.
They all tried, I Love this song so much, I'm delighted to meet you here. How is the pandemic going over there? Where are you watching from? I'm Patrick Corey from California USA.
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.
one of if not the greatest blues licks of all time. Albert will always be The King, greatest blues man ever.
My Goodness, just discovered this guy a couple of days ago but he was so damn good 😱😱 He shows such an amazing passion, looks like he gives everything each note... fantastic
I’ve always loved me some Albert King❤
His name is not Albert the King for nothing pure raw emotion at its best just epic.
I think he's one of the best blues I love it
