King blues master at its best,singer songwriter guitar slinger, at Albert level this is 2021 a classic.Nothing fancy tecko gadgets it was in there fingers these great blues men.this is played at a supreme level.🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
@@rodneyhickman598 yes of course but I don't have to be politically correct when speaking on the nastiness of Albert King's Blues playing besides everyone who reads it knows exactly what I mean.
There was no Chicago Blues Festival in '68. '69 was the Grant Park Blues Festival. First Chicago Blues Festival was in '84. Look it up. I was at the '69 festival and I don't remember Albert King.
@@jordanposnik6663 FYI, Paul Raymond played with Chicken Shack, Savoy Brown, UFO and the Michael Shenker Group. Doyle Brahall has played in Eric Claptond band for 20 years, so I wouldn't say "Who' heard of them"
This concert was recorded in 1968, The Band of Gypsies only existed from late 1969 to early 1970. The song Them Changes was written by Buddy Miles and was the title of his 1970 solo album. It may have been his riff originally or he may have borrowed it for his own song. If you listen to the Band of Gypsies album they also used a riff from Sly and the Family Stone and in later shows Jimi used a Jeff Beck riff to end one of his own tunes. I think there was a lot of borrowing and trading going on all over the place in those days, leading to some fascinating music especially in live shows. Good ear that you caught that one.
@@mangalarobertwatling9168 I'm really starting to wonder if this was actually in 1968 or was it later??? He was performing songs from "I'll play the blues for you" album which was released in 1972.
Yes that's Lucy, I had that guitar in my possession when a grifter, from Detroit hustled the guitar from a wife or family member. I didn't play it ,it gave off too Heavy of a vibe. I think the poser Steven segal.ownes it today.
No jimi didn't play 'upside down' like Albert. Jimi re-strung his guitar for left handed playing , unlike Albert who kept his strings 'upside down' . 🎸
Hey friends, I used to go see Albert with my friends on the 80s when I was 17yrs, old in Detroit.
At Ethel lounge.
BEST VERSION OF SKY IS CRYING...MINOR BASS LINE IS BOSS!
“ if you don’t dig the blues you have a hole in your soul” Albert King 👑
That's ONE OF THE THREE KINGS
FREDDIE, B.B. AND THE ALMIGHTY ALBERT
R.I.P😂
Word!
That was Luther Alison

*their
Why don't you know the difference between "there" and "their"??
Albert King & Stevie Ray Vaughan Are the best
I saw him live in Austin texas at Antons
Why didnt you record it?
man, I'm envious!
8:53 "Why Are You So Mean To Me?"
17:10 "The Sky Is crying"
30:47 "
excellent son ! L'Albert au top ! prodigieux musiciens ! Pur régal ! Vite, une bière !
How did he not snap those strings! Damn!
Tuned low
Tuned low and not too heavy gauge
Is Albert King the coolest man ever or what?
pro trick : watch series on flixzone. Been using it for watching all kinds of movies during the lockdown.
@Davion William yea, I have been using flixzone for since november myself :)
@Davion William Yup, I have been watching on flixzone for since december myself =)
THE HORNS ARE SIZZLING FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TRACKS .W
I've said it once and I'll say it again a thousand times Albert King plays nasty filthy cutthroat funky blues straight no chaser. 🤷🏽♂️
And he does it Jimi Hendrix-style...left-handed
That would be played sir he is no longer with us.
@@rodneyhickman598 yes of course but I don't have to be politically correct when speaking on the nastiness of Albert King's Blues playing besides everyone who reads it knows exactly what I mean.
@@Thetrueking-gr2ss nah, Jimi Hendrix played it Albert King style.
Amen bro
Absolute quality!
50:18 - “Little girl you’ll be alright, keep your coochee zipped up tight!” 😂 🤣
Trust me he said "keep your blue jeans zipped up tight" but I like your version better.
Albert 🙏
This is probably ‘78. Thanks for uploading though!
26:13 “ why you’ll never be as cool as Albert king”
This performance was in 1988 not ‘68.
I wuz there ..no bf @ Petrillo bs, Gpark in 68 ....period. Jr Wells had just recorded "Blues 4 Mayor Daley" on Delmark ...
This is obviously later Albert- yes 1988 as it includes his 1980s Stax work. I also have some of it on tape from the radio broadcast.
Hey, I thought so it sounds more like the more contemporary Albert in the 80s, w/ assembly line.
Not 1968. "Them Changes" the opening song hadn't been written yet among other things like the sound quality. Excellent concert!
Yes a classic show nonetheless- Please edit the title, boss!
my favorite best blues guitar soul man on stage 😏
1986....
There was no Chicago Blues Festival in '68. '69 was the Grant Park Blues Festival. First Chicago Blues Festival was in '84. Look it up. I was at the '69 festival and I don't remember Albert King.
A 1988 show not '68...
THE G.O.A.T Who else played left handed on a guitar strung for a right handed person.
Paul Raymond of UFO and Doyle Bramhall II.
@@bobcabo4509but who’s heard of them? That’s the difference, and that’s why Albert was king.
@@jordanposnik6663 You should get out more often.
@@bobcabo4509Albert was easily the most powerful guitarist of all time.
@@jordanposnik6663 FYI, Paul Raymond played with Chicken Shack, Savoy Brown, UFO and the Michael Shenker Group. Doyle Brahall has played in Eric Claptond band for 20 years, so I wouldn't say "Who' heard of them"
Are they playing 'Changes', from The Band of Gypsies, when the gig starts... or I'm wrong?
Definitely.
"Them Changes"
Buddy Miles/Jimi.

@@mangalarobertwatling9168 thank you for the precious informations 👍
@@andreascano8533 You're welcome. I don't know how much was information though. Mostly memory. Hopefully somewhat accurate. Thanks for your response.
@@mangalarobertwatling9168 I'm really starting to wonder if this was actually in 1968 or was it later??? He was performing songs from "I'll play the blues for you" album which was released in 1972.
How was the band playing Buddy Miles' "Them Changes" riff already in June 1968?? Incorrect date listed.
Who is that Sax Player....? OMG!!
oh man that sounds a little raw. Is this a bootleg?
17:10
1985
Wow is he playing a real '58 V in that photo?
And it looks like a toy in those fantastically big Blues rippin' hands
yeah, and its upside down but still strung as a right handed
Yes that's Lucy, I had that guitar in my possession when a grifter, from Detroit hustled the guitar from a wife or family member.
I didn't play it ,it gave off too Heavy of a vibe.
I think the poser Steven segal.ownes it today.
this is some trickery albert is playing a right handed guitar left handed with the strings upside down // jimi did that to // cheers to the blues
No jimi didn't play 'upside down' like Albert. Jimi re-strung his guitar for left handed playing , unlike Albert who kept his strings 'upside down' . 🎸
And used an alternative tuning
@@depretorevincenzo6617 He had it tuned down to an open Cminor!
