    The Bassist and the drummer deserve so much credit for maintaining the perfect tensions through the crests and troughs of tempo in this masterpiece of blues that breathes emotion with each beat. That slapping snare after Freddie is done with the licks, that bass fading and coming back, dropping off in between when the Piano is building up, this performance is a lesson in the unteachable.

      I saw Freddie perform when I was just 19 years old. Many years ago back in the late 70's. In Fayetteville Arkansas at a place called The Rink. I stood at the edge of the stage really close to him. Most dynamite performance I have ever seen. And wow he leaned down and shook my hand. I have heard how Freddie really enjoyed people enjoying him play. He really did. What a memory.

    I saw Freddie King open for Eric Clapton back in 1975 a few months before his untimely death. The man was on fire and Eric came on during his set for a few songs and then after Clapton's headline set there was a long delay. Then EC & Freddie came onto the stage and did a 30 minute encore of blistering guitar interplay. It was one magic night that I will never forget.

      There's plenty of it - even if "soul" doesn't sound the same to you as it does in music made today. I like the blues, obviously since I'm here, but popular taste keeps changing and I'm no arbiter. It would be hypocritical to dismiss modern music when the blues was once insulted and ridiculed by older generations of its time like hip-hop is today.

Hands down one of the best bluesman ever and maybe the best blues guitarist imo... His banjo finger picks give that guitar such a HOT and STINGING sound that just penetrates right to your core. His ability wring every ounce of emotion out of a note is insane and that voice! Wow, his voice is literally perfect.

    Guitarists fall over themselves praising BB King and Albert King but EVERY single rock blues player to come out of this era to now owe EVERYTHING to Freddie. His style crossed that bridge from blues to rock where blues players realized you could play blues licks in rock songs and it made sense. Enough can't be said for BB and Albert but enough is just not said about Freddie and what he's meant to rock and blues. Clapton praises Freddie more than most so I'll give credit where it's due. I just don't hear the likes of John Mayer, johnny lang or the kenny wayne shepherds of this modern era giving Freddie his due. Freddie was and is still King

      Mayer probably doesn't know much of him, except maybe indirectly through some of the Dead. The record companies didn't figure out how to squeeze more money from Freddie's recordings, especially since he died. Don't go blaming or even praising(Clapton) individual musicians, they don't influence the public's, or history's opinions so much. Billion Dollar multinational "music distribution" companies- THEY have the power. Mayer's not a music scholar at Berklee for goodness sake, he's paid to play.

      I played in a band that opened for him several nights in a row at a big road house that year. His amp was a Fender Quadraverb. He was playing a 355, which was carried by his crew in a steel guitar case. Freddie had his very heavy road manager jump up and down on the case with the guitar in it to show me how well it was protected. He was an easy guy to talk with. Of course his guitar playing was totally amazing. He changed into a different colored jumpsuit for each set - the 70's ya know.

    Classics are such for a reason. This performance is heartfelt. The vibe is 💯. It shoots you to a different dimension.

    Whats most impressive is how consistent his vibrato bends are. Thats not easy.

      Thats why Clapton cites him as his biggest influence - he mastered it to the same degree

    You can listen to the blues, but Freddy makes you feel them in your very soul.
    He may be long gone from this world a long time ago, but his music still lives on to this day.
    Thank you Freddy. Live on my man live on. ❤

    The great Freddie. Hardly anyone felt it more than he did when he was letting go ata blues like this. You can see his band was really inspired too, playing their socks offI still remember the one time I saw him. Wow

    The men in this era all those years ago out shine anything you see today. They just needed to bear their souls through a guitar. Those guitar licks said more than any modern rap, r@b, country, or rock song could ever say today.

    Aside from being the tone master and great musician who knew his way around an electric semi like non other, Freddie comes across as such a gentleman. Look how he pays respect to the band even before strapping on his guitar. Listen to his gentle, humble voice and sense of humour in interviews.
    We can learn a lot from this man.

    We can all argue all day about "who's better than who" but I think what I find lacking today is just that raw passion. With Freddie I see a man that just releases his soul through a thin piece of wood and an amplifier. I know so many artists (and some with talent) who produce work, but all I see is that concern of peer acceptance and praise. I think a real artist would suffer and starve if only for the thrill of the music.

      In a fairness, many great players still exist but unfortunately people are too lazy to get off their asses and go find out which ones. How people found out about music back in the day is beyond me, all I hear from them is that no music exists after 1989 at the latest. There are infinite times more opportunities to find good music via the internet and even buy the vinyl than there ever were in a record store or tape bin.

    • @taildragger53

      Very true....I can;t help thinking that the background that the original Blues artists came from also played a huge part. Their background was linked to the original source, the cottonfield,poverty and abuse , authenticity was intact, and that affected their overall raw passion and their 'story telling' when they performed. That background is lost today and has been since their deaths.....the wannabe artists who claim to be bluesmen today are just affluent copyists in comparison.

    Sessions like this make me want to buy a guitar and learn to play the blues, connect so much that it pulsates through my veins and listening isn't enough participation to get out.
