  • RIP

  • Albert's tone is just damn sexy!

  • Awesome. I'm a new fan.

  • @TluvzBigJ welcome among us !

  • @TluvzBigJ Welcome, take a look at SRV's discography and get blown away by his music, it will never go back.

  • CLASSIC

  • i prefer Albert's voice and guitar playing, because of timing and tone. But the point in music is not so much who's better, but what they can do to make the other sound better than they are. Fun!!! Albert and Stevie were both aware of that and enjoyed the experience. I just noticed on utube how Norah Jones did so many concerts with other hot musicians.

    Gotta love it!

  • look how stevie pays attention to albert king....this i hope it will happen again with other great musicians sometime...

  • dont see happenin bro. maybe some bar in the deep south of texas or louisiana it is. but musicians these days are the lil itty bity puppets of the music corportations

  • Good Lord have mercy, it just don't get no better than this. The only thing I can think of to make it any better is to have invited Buddy, Freddie, BB and Eric to play along in the backround. Brothers of the Blues forever........

  • I think not much about the Skills but the blues in general.....I believe he respects that the most...

  • Talk about kicking it!!! These guys are making all kind of points. Love this so much.

  • Im loving SRV chucking out those Albert King licks, right infront of the man who inspired them. True respect.

  • 3:27 albert say whoa so many consecutive bends.

  • Stevie is like SHIT IM IN A CANDY STORE ! MY IDOL!

  • Truly nothin better to watch, then the masters at work. Brilliant !

  • now this is good stuff, listen to the blues each day and you can feel this good-fact

  • Amazing stuff!!! Legendary performances from both.

  • i love how stevie is so humble and respectful to albert, even though as far as skills go stevie is better, but to stevie albert will always be his guitar hero.... now thats awesome

  • @fezzard bare in mind that freddie is playing a right handed guitar fliped upside down, that takes skill

  • i know it takes skill man, but freddie (even tho his style is so fuckin awesome, i try to copy him too) only plays one unique style but as for SRV he can play almost anything, but yeah having a right handed guitar flipped upside down is hard but look at coco montoya, doyle bromhall or dickdale (even though different genre) or even babyface.... they have the same right handed guitar flipped to be played lefty but they can sure play different styles....

  • @fezzard yes stevie definitly had a complex perception on how a guitar can be played, and thanks for adding some credibility to your statement by naming some artist who also play a right handed guitar flipped, im going to go look them up now. It's nice to meet a more intelligent person on the internet for once.

  • @likechicken1 Also check out Igor Prado. He's a brazilian lefty blues artist who plays upside down like Albert King. You'll see from his playing that his trick bag is nothing short of a right hand player. He's just amazing. He's got quite a few songs on Youtube.

  • @likechicken1 i dont see how itd be any harder than learning normal guitar by ear. itd be hard to teach someone that plays like that.

  • This is just the best. I love Stevie and he loved Albert!!!.Thank you for posting this, wonderful.

  • wow. ty so much for uploading this, ive played this album so many times

  • Two of my all time favorites of any genre. Both players have not always received their proper due. very mellow and very cool !!!!

  • 1:16, dude recording this looks like "oh man, this is going to come out killer!"

  • you can tell how much stevie looks of to albert. he looks like a little kid compared to king.

  • hahaha the mustache...why didn't anyone tell him :p...thanks for posting!! was looking for a full version of this song for a looong time..powerful combo, those 2..

  • albert is a man he feels so much and is in very light mood!excellent!

  • i just noticed that albert king has a hitler mustache

  • yes he has he is joker by the way:)

  • @ynkysrbest On anyone not evil I prefer to say Chaplin mustache.

  • Albert is really diggin' Stevie's solo. Great! Albert was a hard man to please sometimes which I have witnessed a few times in some of his live performances scolding his band members for too loud or whatever. He would give that look! Pretty funny. Shook his hand once in the late 60's, a huge man with a commanding presence but a very nice person. Mr. Albert King's guitar playing was original anyway you look at it. Amazing what a few notes can accomplish.

  • albert king was a supreme master. it's one thing to learn to play albert king licks. it's another thing entirely to actually invent them.

  • Yeah, but nothing like Stevie Ray Vaughan.

  • what an amazing groove this great song has

  • I love good music.

  • This is a great video from one of my favorite recordings. Thanks for posting it.

  • So beautiful!!!

    Grandma mary

  • stevie's voice is incredibly high pitched in this!

  • Voice? ya mean Albert's as SRV does not sing or are you referring to his tone?

  • noooo when they are talking! stevie sounds like a child!

  • Ok, well his teeth aren't so great either but he still can wail right.

  • I've been listening to Stevie and Albert King for years now and I think that the effect their music has on me will never fade. Its just so honest and true and if you've been through the blues or have had the blues than you know the feelings and the emotions behind the song and you can't help but relate to it.

  • naw they aint R.I.P. they is playin that great gig in the sky

  • @jmac2wenty1 "Will Mr. KIng and Mr. Vaughn please report to The Throne room."

  • I've got this album on my mp3 player, and if it were a record, I would've worn out the grooves a LONG time ago. Two legends....absolutely amazing.

  • albert king's voice is fucking amazing

  • amazing, im listening to this everyday

  • freaxmax, I gotta agree. Imagine seeing them two giants together.... I jes' never get tired of listening to to this jam.

  • lovin it

  • thnx for posting this on youtube (Y) GREAT!! lalalaaaa will a matchbox hold my clothes

  • I love them both, i wish they could come back :(

  • I love the blues! RIP SRV.

  • Is there any better jam session than this !

    Love it to pieces

  • "that's why i wonder, will a matchbox hold my clothes? "

  • Great!

    Very GOOD!

  • what year

  • Albert King is one of Stevie Ray's biggest influence and the riff that Stevie plays is one of Albert's signature riffs. Stevie can also sound like Albert when he wants to. To show respect for him like he does in this tune.

  • All of these foos bitchin about repitition don't have no videos of them playin' guitar. Now Stevie is a saint of music...we who are in touch with the great energy got no doubts about it. Come on to my page and check me out playin some guitar too. Aint much new....but the energy is always fresh....blues baby, it keeps you young and vibrant and keeps all of the people who love it ready to love more. Ha ha. Respect!!

  • love that hitleresque mustache albert is sportin

  • cool man

  • esto es la verdadera musica.

    this is the true music

  • The only viable reason why he seems "repetitive" is because he's grounded in blues. If he got into other genres like Jimi did, it'd be different.

  • BEAUTIFUL!!

  • MALAYSIA BOLEH!!

  • hahah dont thumbs down his comment (ahhotdogg) its true... srv IS GOOD.... BUUUUT he really did use ALOT of repetition. i learned this shortly after i picked up playing his music

  • Stevie Ray Vaughn is one of my favorite guitar players and I am really into his music. Yes, if you study Stevie Ray Vaughn he does have key phrases that he repeats. You're right, that is not bashing. All players do that play inprov. lead riffs, particularly the blues. That is not a slam in anyway, that is just a simple fact of playing guitar.

  • Ok now i'll have this sound bouncing in my head for three or four days...so sticky (in a really nice way)

  • It must have been weird for Albert to hear a lot of his licks played by Stevie. Also for all you stevie clones I bet he isn't playing through his super reverbs, Vibrolux, it could be the dumblk ehead behind him, But he would sound like Stevie through a Crate Amp.

  • He's playing his own licks, not Albert's.

  • Steve's licks are inspired by Albert King you can hear it. Im not sure you play but if you do you would hear Albert king in Stevie's licks. Buddy Guy, Hendrix, T-Bone, Wes Montgomery, some Freddie but Albert was his main influence.

  • I love Albert abd the Phase 90 sound he picked up later on. They are probably playing like this now..

  • those bending licks stevie plays sound so good!

  • nice

  • Sweet ..two Blues brothers..

    Matchbox...Terrific..

  • i guess blues is the grandpa of metal LOL

  • the blues aint related to metal at all. let me tel you that. the blues is too powerful and deep to be related to such emmm 'noise'

  • look, i didnt say the blues was like it, its a joke. im just saying, metal just traces from the blues. so no ffense. the blues is waay better than metal

  • Oh and for the record,

    People take inspiration from all kinds of genres, so in no way am I incorrect for what I said. They may be two completely different sounds, but I don't think its your place to be the judge of whether they are relative or not, because clearly you don't know. What may be "noise" to you, can be someone's life written into a song.

  • we are all a product of our influences. and you are right. i apologize. i am big fan of the rock/blues. like stevie ray or hendrix. also love bb king and clapton. i dnt care much for slip knot or anythnig. alot of it just appears to be about pure hate and evil, just nonsense. but you are right in saying that we all have different tastes. we will always live ina diverse world. and thats fine. i must of came across as stubborn, but i was just passionate. :)

  • What does one look in music: soul, rhythm, and soul... If you find these traits it is for you.

  • STEVIE RAVE ON

  • As you can see, Albert was a lefty. But for a little trivia, he had his guitar still right handed, that means his base E was on bottom, and the high E on top, thank god for long fingers, that he had!! So he would pull instead of push string in a bend. As a final not, he was tuned B E B E G# C# Stevie had a guitar set up the same way he messed with.

  • I LOVE the King Brothers.  That was my grandmother's last name, hey maybe I'm related to BB. I sure hope so!!

  • LOL!

  • what is the name of music?

    Very good music...

  • the genre is called the blues, the daddy of jazz, r&b and rock.

    the song is called matchbox blues, played by albert king and stevie ray vaughan :)

  • Matchbox

  • I love it when Stevie says "I KNOW" I could watch this video over and over and over again lol

  • Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • albert - the velvet bulldozer, great stuff

  • albert would have been lived easily 10 - 15 years more ef he would have been shorter and weighed 40 kilos lessers ( albert was 1.92 cm /6.8 - 6.9 feet tall and weighet something aobuta 130 kilos )

  • Well, the height he couldn't help but I'm sure the weight didn't help. He made his point though ;-)

  • he was 6'4 and roughly 250 pounds.

  • My god. Great philosophy, this is the blues.

  • Two guitar greats....Awesome post.

  • Albert has one HELL of a VOICE! Not to mention that guitar!!!

  • You're tright he HAD one hell of a voice he died in 1992 in Memphis of a heart attack .

  • So few notes, such an amazing guitar solo. I love the way Stevie pays homage to one of his heros here by playing the licks he learnt directly from him. Stevie seems to have had a genuine humility about him.

  • Fyleckie...Absolutely spot on, sir.

  • i agree, and I love this song!

  • that was just BEAUTIFUL

  • IIRC Albert King was Stevie's idol, or mentor of sorts. So after SRV became famous, they head to Hamilton, CA, and lay this down in a radio station.

    Albert King/Stevie Ray Vaughan: In Session. Probably one of the sickest blues records there is.

    (And btw, albert king plays a more traditional blues, and likes bends and legato. Stevie plays more of a 'high octane blues' as coined bu Buddy Guy and emulated by Hendrix. IMO that's the magic of blues, that it can be so diverse within one framework)

  • absolutely. i own this album, and it is definitely one of my favorites

  • there are a lot of good players, and then there is SRV, and THEN there is chad kroeger

  • what????!!!!!!!!!

  • when srv gets into the jam that was magical. sends chills up my spine.

  • Rest in peace Stevie Ray Vaughan and Albert King...this is one super jam!

  • sooooooo amazing....the two top legends in my opinion. could you imagine being in that room recording this....i woulda cried...prolly... haha. amazing post

  • funcking making history.

  • albert and srv=magic

  • simply terrific

  • the song has got a nice groove

  • jeeeeaaa

  • it doesnt matter how good or famous i am, if i was sitting next to SRV id be as intimitdated as fuck.

  • this song has such an amazing groove.....can't stop playing along!

  • I can't think of another musician who's died in the past 20 years whose loss was as regrettable as SRV.

    Maybe Mark Sandman.

  • seriously is fuckin sick. cannot stop moving to this song at all. absolutely elite

  • definatly...

  • stevie really puts a blues lesson on by making so many unique phrases in so very few notes

  • this is just got laid off my girl left me flat tire don't know what to do blues right here. damn what would these guys be doing if they were alive

  • now that's just tripping my friend...

  • Fantastic stuff!

    Makes you all glad inside!!!!!!

  • A blues master who finger picks the blues.. an anomaly as far as a Flying V is concerned, and he just kicks ass with it!

  • srv was so respecting the man there.

    he played to albert just what he`d learned

    from him. obviously he not only learned the notes but got the feel which is all important.

  • Is it just me or does Stevie Ray seem shy towards Albert. Like in the beggining of the video Albert is talkin and Stevie is like....yeah....I know... I dunno he just seems shy.

  • No. He was just happy playing along with Albert. Stevie was never shy when a guitar was in his hands.

  • probably haha

  • I hear that Albert was not "keen" on young white blues players. Stevie was an exception.  He was so greatful.. he was chosen!

  • WOW.... thats all you can say, such a great guitarist was stevie his passion and skill is what todays music sorley lacks, he was taken to early but his music and passion will live on. God bless u stevie R.I.P

  • two kings in the same room, i luv it

  • That rocks soooooo much. Love it.

  • dos grandes

  • those BENDS!!!

  • why srv and gary moore never have played together??excuseme if the question is stupid but i'm young and i'm still learning about blues history.srv is one of my favourite guitar players,and i like gary moore too,but it's really strange that they never play together.there was some kind of rivalry??

  • Two of the greatest Blues guitarist ever! Jamming together, what more can you ask for... where can I get a copy of this on dvd if possible?

  • The Gibson Flying V is originally made for Blues. These day's it more known as a metal-guitar

    This song has an amazing groove to it!!!

  • I would never have thought that a flying V would work so well in the blues. Albert King sure proved me wrong.

  • Stevie's guitar & Albert's voice FTW!

  • Soo nice sound en beat:) Love it:)

  • fantastic blues,probebly the best

  • Blues to the max.....yeeea!

  • my 2 fav

  • yes, this is what america should be about

  • man i hate ignorant fucking Europeans this is what america should be about this is what were about blues was created here youve prolly never been here were not all fat lazy slobs that your news makes us out to be fuck off and go eat some fucking crumpets bitch

  • And did you contribute anything to blues music? Absolutly nothing.

  • great

  • I love when they talk in the beginning =D This is true blues.

  • Ok,I admit stevie is really really good,his mixture of speed,unique playing,and soul make him a amazeing blues player and A great contribution to American blues.However lets not forget that Albert king is also A great contribution to American blues,he is also ONE of the many bluesmen that inspired Stevie.

  • Why can they not make (I guess I mean promote) music like this these days?

  • sex in a kitten

  • calfornia

  • Ooooh, thats so good.

  • GREAT

  • SRV>great blues guitarist

  • srv <3

  • Speak about Eric Clapton and Albert King how many you want, but none of them could touch Stevie, and I mean it! None of them. Eric himself said it that Stevie would blow him of the stage and that Stevie was the purest musical channel he ever saw and Albert said that Stevie totally mastered the guitar like nobody else and really was beyond his favourite guitar player.

    BTW. Stevie has some of the very best and influential guitar sounds ever!

  • I agree for the TONE IS DEFINITE a personally thing and this is a very good combination!!

    A MASTER OF BLUES (for me) SRV, and great voice of ALBERT!!!

    BLUES on real mean...

  • i like a lot this song !

  • oh hell yea, drink tons n jaaam to this, do it albert, kick ass

  • mothafucka this song makes me feel gooooood

  • Albert and Stevie in the best conmbination possible - the SRV guitar and the Albert voice - David Blues N.

  • The master in action!!

  • the masters you mean

  • 3.37 pure rage nyyarr

  • Its like 'HEY we get to see greats here, free!' Why not find look for a "special" site to argue about what one thinks of this music, compared to totally different music and sounds. And arguing with nasty language over who is better than who, ven by "BLUES lovers" -its just not productive to sharing blues or keeping it alive. People with ACTUAL comments about SRV and Albert King or JUST blues -rock on! Support the blues, dont fight! What an elegant cool video, thanks for this post!

  • cause he wants to dumb ass... dont question the man!

  • Rides for the ladies man....!

  • Oh, he rocked that moustache better than Adolf ever could.
