How awesome a privilege it must have been for Gary to be on stage with these two powerful blues legends both with the most unique styles of playing ever. Unbeatable.
I learn something new, or maybe feel something new, every time I watch this. My first impression was Gary overplays, King underplays, and Collins nails it as always. Now I understand that Gary was a kid in a candy shop, completely possessed by the music, on stage with his heroes, with a thousand ideas in his head. I don’t think he intentionally overplayed; he just succumbed emotionally to the moment with his full arsenal of aggressive licks. Albert King seemed to be searching for notes at times; he was low in the mix, and maybe in the monitors. But man, that guy could swing, and listen to those signature huge bends that later turn up in Stevie Ray Vaughn’s stuff. Albert Collins? What can I say? The Iceman has the best tone, phrasing, dynamics, positive energy and showmanship of any blues guitarist, bar none. Those who had the privilege to see him live (for me, Slim’s in San Francisco in the 1990s) know what I’m talking about. When that guitar tone hits you, the sharp clusters of notes and the searing sustain, it’s like being struck by lightning while being shot out of a cannon, while a giant hand crushes you into a vat of ice water.
Well said. 30 years ago or so give or take 5 years either way I saw Albert at the old TIpitinas in New Orleans and he jumped off the stage and played his whole last solo in my face while we laughed and danced. I told this story tonight to his longtime saxman JON SMITH who is now performing together with me in South Louisiana. Jon loved Albert and Albert loved Jon. I'm in heaven if only for a little while enjoying Jon as much as Albert did. And yes nobody can touch Albert, Jon told a great story tonight about ROBIN FORD coming to sit in with them and Robin played this masterful long solo that was perfect, Albert then played 1 note for a couple of minutes that was better than anyone on the planet. Robin smiling ear to ear whispered in Johns ear, a lot of good all that fancy playing did just now, I should have just kept my guitar in the case. Great thing was Albert was only keeping it real and doing what the song needed, When we taKe our egos out of the song we are always much more authentic, Albert oozed humility.
WOW! Gary with 2 of my heros. King used to say Gary & S.R.V. we're his 2 favorite young players. He thought they were the best of the bunch. What can u say about the Iceman?!!! I worship that man! Folks that met him (I envy you) say that he could make you feel like you were his best friend! GOD BLESS YOU ALBERT COLLINS!!
Albert King was essentially my mentor. Lucky to have seen his birthday celebration at Ethel's Cocktail Lounge in Detroit circa 1980. I am sure we were the first white folk ever to set foot in this establishment but we were treated like family and fed a FREE soulfood supper to boot! Also got to plat Albert Collins' guitar at the Soup Kitchen Saloon in Detroit a few years later! I consider myself doubly blessed!!!
Albert King has always been one of my favorites. Miss him a lot. Thank god for all types of recordings. And no I'm not saying he is better than the others, just that I really like him, so don't jump on me.

Meat Albert Collins at a guitar show that I was set up at selling.We hung for a while then we just got on with things after he signed a Strat for me we shared a warm hand shake & that was that .Albert died shortly after that.Sadly my buddy who bought the strat buffed the signature off.Guess he was not a fan of "The Iceman.". Oops 😬
This is from a VHS I used to own that I also found 'unofficially' on DVD. GREAT LIVE BLUES. Gary teams with Albert Collins and Albert King on this show and the STUDIO CD, 'STILL GOT THE BLUES', CIRCA 1990. TURN IT UP!
Some say "less can be more" I've always have subscribed to Gary Moore's theory,if less is more just think of how much more,"more"is! Great minds think alike !
It was a movie on VHS. I keep hoping they'll re-release it on Blu Ray. I can't remember what the movie was called though. RIP three legendary blues masters!
@@precisionbrown6829 I don't think it was the whole concert on CD and VHS. It was only 12 songs, but they actually played 21 songs. I'd love to know if the whole show was recorded and filmed!!!
Epic performance! I'd love to know if this whole concert was filmed and recorded! They played 21 songs (including Oh Pretty Woman twice, the 2nd time with Albert King), but only 12 songs were on the CD and VHS.
Gary is Gary, was he over playing? yes. Was it still good? yes. Who's the best? Albert King. Why? Albert said so and he told Gary to slow down. When Albert tells you what to do, you do it.
You have the unmitigated gall to tell ALBERT COLLINS what he should do You my friend don't know your elbow from your anus. Mr. Collins puts more soul into playing just one note than Gary Morre has in his entire thousand notes a minute repertoire.
@@drharmonica I actually said could not he should have so don’t give me bull shit. Next time I’ll fart in your face raising a fist in victory using my elbow. He has soul yes. So does Garry.
Gary Moor was a modern guitar shredder. He'll play 40 notes where King and Collins realize that often 4 notes often say more than 40. The new modern guitar guys haven't learned that the space between the notes is often more important than the notes themselves.
It could also be said that the old timers never learned that there were more than 1 tone, 1 scale, and a half dozen licks. Ultimately, there's no need to deride either type of player simply because they do things differently than what you think is better.
How awesome a privilege it must have been for Gary to be on stage with these two powerful blues legends both with the most unique styles of playing ever. Unbeatable.
Amen
Gary is a legend as well . they were so cool together.
Hard to believe...all three have left this realm...
But playing in a whole lot better realm! a place where music is eternal and cool as F'
R.I.P Gary, Albert K. and Albert C. The show has sadly come to an end
They’ll never be anything near them again 💔
their music is forever
Meglio morti vivi che vivi ma morti
But playing in a whole lot better realm! a place where music is eternal and cool as F'
Fuuuke No man!!!!! I just now jammed this, and might name my SY Caledonia b/c it's so badassssssss. from ALaksa Frozen
I love how Gary and Albert Collins looking at each other in any video :D so cute :d
Feelin’ Blessed to have seen these Idols…
albert king and albert collins could play 3 notes and reach my soul while gary could play very fast 1000 notes and doesn t touch me at all
Gary schooled them guys.

Ha...you nailed it about Albert Collins. He takes no prisoners.
I agree. A.King was way too low in mix. Gary was overplaying a bit, but as you said it's from sheer exuberance. A.Collins is in top form (as usual.)
Well said. ONE NOTE and you know it’s AC!

@@andysmith6156 Which Albert? ))
Wow.... Gary the best
Three guitars playing that intro and outro riff with all the tonality of a full horn section!
BackToTheBlues horns were great 👍
I was there. A night to remember
I still get the biggest kick out of this video. Three of the best that ever picked up a guitar that just happen to 3 of my favorites..
Damn I love Albert king he bent those strings like a nut sounded so good
juste génial !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love the Music 💙💙🎸🎤💙🌟💙🌟💙🌟💙💙🌟💙🌟💙🌟💙🌟🌟💙🌟

Love albert collins' I ain't drunk, I'm just drinkin' ".My mantra ;)
I'll be drinking a Tom Collins, John Collins, and Joan Collins.
belliose lol cute
Gary Moore was the most outstanding player in my era and probably the best player I’ve ever seen and heard. Makes me wanna put my guitar down
This video has opened up a whole new world to me. Didn't know who King and Collins were. My Itunes account is going to take a beating.
bearhouse34 , That's The Blues, the father of rock!
bearhouse34 ROCK THE FUCK OUTTA HERE'!!!!!!!

tootz1950 You like what pleases your ears. You don't have to explain it.. I like all 3 of them.
Albert King must be the favorite of a lot of people or he wouldn't be on that stage with Moore and Collins.😃
All 3 are Unique in their Abilities ... They are all Great! Legends ... RIP 🙏❤️🔥

Albert Collins cracked me up on the interview section. Dead pan delivery.

3 amps
3 git fiddles
3 legends
“Nobody gets out of here till they sing the blues”
Great music!
We all miss you . RIP
Some people think Gary over plays at times. I disagree that Gary ever does too much. I think Moore is always better!
U forget ur med's this mornin bro
Some say "less can be more" I've always have subscribed to Gary Moore's theory,if less is more just think of how much more,"more"is! Great minds think alike !
He overplays at times.
Omg, I've only heard this one on the album, never thought there was footage also. I'm so grateful for this upload.
Adrian Andersson there's a CD with the whole concert 1990
I keep this recon my VCR and my DVD best one

Epic performance! I'd love to know if this whole concert was filmed and recorded! They played 21 songs (including Oh Pretty Woman twice, the 2nd time with Albert King), but only 12 songs were on the CD and VHS.
Best all time question
"What's his forte" lOL

AC's the MAN!!

GOOD GOOPITY GOOP 💥💥💥💥💥
Pasión salvaje!!!!!!, YEAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
GARY'S ABSOLUTELY UNIQUE!!! INCREDIBLE!!! UNBELIEVABLE!!! INCOMPARABLE!!! SO AMAZING!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏HORS CONCOURS!!!
18fh and Vine whare it all began The 80's seen em all sjzig
5.10 Hahaha Iceman giving Gazza that look of 'BRING THAT SHIT YOUNG FELLA!'
Gary Moore just can't compete with the two Alberts
Yeah he’s kind of annoying In this
@@mattfuller4307 Yes, like a bug. Everytime I was ready to hear the Albert's he came flying in. Reallying annoying.
Man. Jamming is what its all about. Check out youtube Albert Collins and Rory Gallagher Funk Jam. You won't be disappointed!
Check out the original version of this song by Louis Jordan.
Three spiritual players
sheeeiiii--- wow
Is Gary Moore playing the famous Peter Green Les Paul in this video?
TracyFClark yes he is!
Absolutely 👍
👍👍💥💥💜💜🌈🌈🙏🙏😇😇
It lookek like Albert King broke a string but he was still kicking some serious butt.
Greg Hardy I’ve broken strings live. You gotta work around or just go with it. There’s 5 more strings
Che invidia quelli che dicono: I was here😂
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️
Where can I get this video ? Lost my VHS copy of this
Gary is Gary, was he over playing? yes. Was it still good? yes. Who's the best? Albert King. Why? Albert said so and he told Gary to slow down. When Albert tells you what to do, you do it.
Some say "less can be more" I've always have subscribed to Gary Moore's theory,if less is more just think of how much more,"more"is!
Gary had his unique style, expressing his emotions by putting guitar to the limits and I like it that way... For me, Gary was one of the best ever..
M F Good
minuto 3:40 finisce il circo e comincia il blues !
3:22-3:35 fack ❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
why dont my tele sound like that?
HAHAHA! Right???
I feel you my friend
Nobody’s does
Albert king’s amp is too quiet up there
Seems like he plays bluesier when he plays rock than when he plays blues, quite oddly.
Gary Moore blues on steroides.
cocaine...
Gary Moore always gets too flashy lol
wisesatyr72 you gotta be kidding! Gary Moore was the best. Now I feel that way about
Jeff Beck
Sorry but I think Collins didn’t understand the word “forte”
He thought he did
Nobody likes a showoff.Respect your elders!
Gary Moore kicks ass here albert could have Re tuned his guitar
You have the unmitigated gall to tell ALBERT COLLINS what he should do You my friend don't know your elbow from your anus. Mr. Collins puts more soul into playing just one note than Gary Morre has in his entire thousand notes a minute repertoire.
@@drharmonica I actually said could not he should have so don’t give me bull shit. Next time I’ll fart in your face raising a fist in victory using my elbow. He has soul yes. So does Garry.
albert collins looks like snoop dogg
Albert King needs time to boil. Gary Moore sounds like he did these guys a favor. It was your privilege to play with them.
Great guitarists, poor English !!
kf
Pity he wasn’t called Albert Moore
Pip Pipster or Gary Collins lol
@ andre deandre I bet their guitar sounds better than your guitar and I bet they play better than you.
SORRY KING!
Edward Guide all of them are gone. Collins was great
The old guard is not on Gary's technical level. They don't do certain things because they can't.
Gary Moor was a modern guitar shredder. He'll play 40 notes where King and Collins realize that often 4 notes often say more than 40. The new modern guitar guys haven't learned that the space between the notes is often more important than the notes themselves.
you mean like ed sheeran lol.
Gary Moore was absolutely amazing guitarist with amazing licks and skills...
It could also be said that the old timers never learned that there were more than 1 tone, 1 scale, and a half dozen licks. Ultimately, there's no need to deride either type of player simply because they do things differently than what you think is better.
I don’t think you have listened to much Gary Moore..
