One thing I've noticed about Joe is that he will always stay in the artist's range, but he will never upstage them even when he can. He's always respectful of those on stage which is why so many people invite him on stage with them.
Very well said.. as a huge Joe fan I must agree.. Joe is always a nice humble respectful person... not acting anything else than he is.. and that is only one reason why he is the number one musician on Earth on my list.. I don't need to talk about his skills here.. we all can see and hear it.. I feel privileged to be able to hear an artist like Joe at his prime before I get too old to travel and hear live music .. two Meet & Greet tickets waiting for the future 😊
Well a lot of black people genes where made up during slavery because they where feed pig fat, corn mush and a terrible diet for hundreds of years. So I'm not going to body shame brother kingfish because it's not his fault.
Serious respect for Joe for his self restraint here, his tone is so authentic, clear and low gain but you can tell around 3:45 that he's about to go full Eric Johnson but makes the call to be more conversational with Kingfish and follow his lead which brings out Ingram's chops like crazy! 10/10 jam, so much love for modern blues carrying on such a great tradition of improv and pretentiousness. I feel like Joe and Kingfish just keep getting better and better!!
Yes!!! KINGFISH!!! 🙌🏽💯. I love when two great musicians meet. Joe is twice the age of Kingfish I believe. Kingfisha has been paying dues like crazy. He definitely deserves everything he has coming to him.
I saw Kingfish at a bar on Frenchman street about 6 years ago - just a bar, playing with a band, making squat but just tearing it up. At first I just thought "That there is one big old feller" but that just disappeared when he started playing. Dude can bring it and yes - he has payed some dues.
Born under a bad sign has always been one of my favorite blues songs, and to see kingfish and JB preform this is an awe moment for me. Badass musicians!
Thank you Mr. Kingfish for a great show video playing with all your great musicians band and inviting another well respected guitarist Joe Bonamassa. I enjoyed listening to you and Joe I can’t thank you enough. Jerry D. From Massachusetts.
Watching Christine and Joe talk guitar licks after 2:30, their expressions, listening to their back and forth…the incredible expressiveness of music in connecting people without a rigged script: this is why we enjoy a great live show. Incredible!
It reminded me of what they say about some guys who you don't know if they are very stupid or very smart, but as soon as they open their mouth they clear up any doubt.
@@bryanmannoia8410 dude, joe is okay, but the way they keep pushing him out there as if he's a headliner talent is laughable. He's the level of a very good cover band guitar player, and that's what he sounds like... Someone that you can walk into almost any bar or club in a city with a decent music scene and hear his equal. He doesn't have a unique style that's identifiable. Lack of feeling in his playing. He might be outplaying that other guy...it is obvious he's out of his league, he's making audible mistakes. He's not outplaying Christone in the least. Trying to cram 10lbs of shit into a 5lb bag doesn't make it better.
@@spellbound1407Lmao come on. Yeah Bonamassa can be corny and wears blazers with flames and dresses like Agent Smith, but the idea you can walk into any bar or club and see his equal is fucking laughable. He’s not the most original guy ever but he’s an absolute monster. I live in a city with a great music scene, and have lived in others, and I’m not constantly stumbling across dudes that can play like him. Also, what audible mistakes?
@@colinschmidt3475get your facts straight... I said a very good lead guitar player in a good cover band. Not a decent guitar player in a bad cover band.... I don't care what kind of music scene there is where you are or where you have been. Where I'm from the very good cover bands tour regionally and nationally. There are a good handful of tribute bands that are based here and they play around town regularly. What's laughable is everybody likes to talk as if they got some kind of big stick clout to shake around and their unvalidated opinion carries weight. Audible mistakes...I was referring to the unknown guy. Who cares how he dresses? My point was the comment I replied to said Kingfish was being outplayed.... I never said the man couldn't play, I said they are pushing him on us as if he is some kind of Jeff Beck or Eric Johnson.
Double bucker and a single coil going head to head.......both sounding amazing........it's not the guitar folks......it's the fingers.....well that and a great amp setup.
Joe's interview with Rick Beato is nice. Talking about his bluesrock loving father. Man, wish my dad was like that! Their trading licks is a highlight here on YT.
The two best bluesmen going head to head. Pure fire! I recently saw Kingfish in concert and he blew me away. Not just fast riffs, but very tasty, melodic playing.
@@spellbound1407 I guess your not really listen to what Kingfish is playing. When I saw him live, he doesn't riff in the traditional "pentatonic blues box" that a lot of guys do. He has better feel and accents a lot of his riffs with a jazz feel. Maybe your just not a fan of guitar playing. Do you play and can you do better?
@@paulwarren8936 Joe does not do it for me, sorry if that triggers you. Kingfish does have a more traditional style but when you're on stage jamming with someone you tend to flip the script a little bit. I have heard both of these guys dozens of times, I don't have to agree with you. And yes, I do play. I might not be as good as either of them, but I bet you I'm better than you. And I haven't played out in 10 years.
@@spellbound1407 LOL, how do you about my playing. Your pretty funny. And by the way, I never praised Joe B, as he does over play a lot. I just happen to like Kingfish because of his style, tone and phrasing. But you know, that's why they make vanilla and chocolate. Everyone has different tastes - doesn't make it good or bad.
@@paulwarren8936 I added that last part because you took a dig at me. Of course I don't know how you play. I'm sure you can play something. There's nothing wrong with their playing per se...What I was trying to get across is this song is not a shred fest. Joe is a great guitar player, kingfish is a great guitar player. They're up there together trading licks and cutting head. It's fun to watch but it takes away from the song and the integrity of the music. Kingfish normally sticks to the integrity of the music, he's shredding because Joe is pushing him. A more extreme example is when they brought zakk Wylde to the Jimi Hendrix tour. He's good but there are a thousand other guitar players that should have been selected for a Hendrix tribute before zakk Wylde
I think it was awesome Joe and Mr kingfish trading licks. You don't see that too often anymore and the mutual respect that they had for each other while playing was pretty cool too❤
@3:55, Christone kills it,(Is that all you’ve got) and leaves Joe Bonamassa in awe with his lightning speed licks. He may have big fingers, but the guy can shred something fierce. ⚡️🎸😱🤯
No,he is playing boring licks without following the chords,always staying in the same spot. I feel sorry for JB,at least his trying. Its a pity that they kill that expressive bluessong with that shit!
Joe B was born and raised just 20 miles from where I live, when he was 13-14 years old he was playin in local establishments that i was almost but not quite old enuff to go into thanx to NY's min age laws changin as I turned 18 then 19 then it change to 21, I didnt get to see him play until about 6 yrs ago at the Lakeside across from the NYS fairgrounds, the man is f'n awesome, and very much a gentleman to his band and his guest's, by the way, I'll be 58 in March 2024 😂
Marcus is a satanic sell out like Billy Strings…Billy’s “33” tattoo is all you need to know, if you know…and King just came out with an amp called what “MK Ultra”…smfh…they do t even try and hide it anymore…..but the masses will stay indoctrinated and know nothing
My sincerest condolences to the dude who had to take a solo before Kingfish and Joe Bonamassa 😂
No doubt bro! 😂😂
😂😂😂
He did well, no pedals just straight p90 amp goodness, I thought it was the right approach to take, he knew what was coming ahaha
Buddy Whittington!
😂😂😂😂😂

I agree. He can play with anybody. But he plays them. Not to loud,does not drown them out.
I don't think he could upstage Kingfish anyway
This was not impressive at all to me! Blues is an expression not competing! These bois missed it here! 😩
@@Warriorjc7Go sit down somewhere!
King fish has a finger vibrato that is master quality and a voice reminiscent of robert cray.
Much more soulful and boomy than Robert Cray but I know what you mean.
Good indeed but still isn't a man with the finger of Albert King anymore rip
@@derrickwaddell7178
Calm down Ffs
Your right he does sound like cray.
I agree, B.B. had one of the most devastating finger vibratos I've ever heard or seen.
Can we please get Kingfish a nutritionist!! We need him around for decades to come! Such a legend
And some gym!!!
Saw him about a year and a half ago, he blew me away. But you are absolutely right.
@@christopherschlacter4953 just look at what happened to Freddie King, who was slimmer!
Said the same thing after seeing him live earlier in the year
Well a lot of black people genes where made up during slavery because they where feed pig fat, corn mush and a terrible diet for hundreds of years. So I'm not going to body shame brother kingfish because it's not his fault.
That kid is amazing.
Dude is smokin!
Kingfish is pretty good too
@@MrDuds1984hes talking about Kingfish
Joe Loves playing and you can see the RESPECT he affords Kingfish in his smile and his eyes . Pure Enjoyment.
Now that's real music boys and girls!!!🤗🔥👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💯
Just getting on stage with Joe Bonamassa takes serious balls
Ten pounds at least . . . LOL
Joe always gives props to young talent. Paying back what was passed to him. 🎸🎸
@@vikiryan822yep!
Agree but Kingfish can play with anyone.
Delusional. Kingfish is a better player

Joe and Christone.....ABSOLUTE FIRE, wish I was there
Wow that was amazing! They went riff for riff. They both are truly amazing!!!
Truth
King kingfish 🎉❤voice and guitar

Of course AI apparently never heard of “Christone.”
Kingfish - Best vibrato on the planet right now!
ABSOLUTELY!!!!!
Kingfish has a pretty serious vibrato. He shakes the life out of those strings. Love it.
It reminded me of what they say about some guys who you don't know if they are very stupid or very smart, but as soon as they open their mouth they clear up any doubt.
Gary Moore levels of control over it
yeah it’s too much tbh
🤦♂@@johnlemon874
@@johnlemon874😂😂😂 good vibrato is what makes a guitarist sound good
Kingfish just keeps getting better and better ....
Never fumbles a single note - just extraordinary
Awesome guitar fest thanks for posting this. Older Cat with gold top Les Paul Also shredding alongside Kingfish and Joe
This is why blues is great , multi generation guys getting after it.
Joe is the man. Tone. Picking. Ect…. And he respectfully played along with kingfish which is what it’s all about
Joe is pretty generic and Bland. Are you saying he was taking it easy?
@@spellbound1407 yes. he outplays both these guys with ease. Kingfish is good, no doubt, but somewhat limited compared to Joe.

I can hear the difference and it’s nice when they have very different guitars for a contrast! Joe usually plays Gibsons!
It's not what you play, IT'S HOW YOU PLAY IT!!
Yeah, Joe Bonamassa. Great guitar solo ❤
That duel was incredible.

These two are incredible guitarist.

Love kingfish. Amazingly talented guitar player.
His voice is the bluest ,and his guitar 🎸 sings the blues cutting deep!!

Wow, two of my favorite active guitar players on the planet on the same stage! Thanks for sharing this!
Great gig... Would be fun to jam on a boat.
King fish was smokeing that guitar!!!!
Must be a bit of Irish in Joe, milk bottle legs like my own 😜 Great fun, would be cool to be there.

Theses guys are killing it!
This is the best. Thank you
Get it!
Thanks for the post, that was very enjoyable.

my man kingfish, I watched him years ago like 6 or 7 on youtube playing his git.. chops
I get all this is impressive...but the power and simplicity of Albert King's original is just shredded (!) beyond recognition here....
RAW talent and a divine spark. Kingfish is in his own right a "guitar god". Masterful.
This is outstanding! ❤
…and a great voice, too.
Jeeeeeez, 2:51 just gave me chills, insane playing
Love it!👍
I love The Kingfish!!!
Big bad … and the blues !
Greatest guitar Battle in history

This trip was awesome! Well worth the $$$

Great song, great performance ❤
Just saw Kingfish for the first time he opened for Buddy Guy in San Diego. And damn that dude call play.
Christone is the best blues guitarist I’ve ever heard period. The guy with the beard? Not so much
