[iceman273]

Who else can pull off the quarter note bend on the fifth in a major tone song? 0:41

[honkytonkwomen69]

Estoy descubriendo a este tipo y es genial, cómo toca.

[FICHTNER02]

Yo man, can you please make this video downloadable. Thanks very much

[timtimminz]

There's another video on here of Gatemouth Brown playing the same show... I think that's him playing rhythm on the Rick.

[jplew138]

@timtimminz Yes, that is Gatemouth on the Rick. Also, that's Billy Cox (Band of Gypsies) on bass.

[SconeMason]

Guitar like a red-hot iron, voice as smooth as cream. They don't make 'em like this anymore.

[kickalion]

I like to watch these bluesie dinosaurs

[jplew138]

His tone on "San-Ho-Zay" is absolutely KILLER.

[TheNewGuy7575]

dear lord this is badass

[gobadgers257]

HAHAHA now i know where stevie got pride and joy from!!!

[strandwolf]

His french cuff resembles a playboy bunny.

[cjoey39]

Freddie is just fabulous! His guitar style is very original and distinctive and his voice is as smooth as silk! We miss him! Joey Vaughan "World Blues Attack"

[Dutchy1965]

@BGo93 ABSOLUTELY Buddy

[Dutchy1965]

if it wasn't for the African Americans - we'd still be listening to Glenn Miller shit - White Honky .......

[Dankshasta]

@Dutchy1965

well except without ellington, holiday, tatum, and all the black jazz....where would we have gotten Glenn Miller?

[paulwhitberg]

Wow, what a video! Everything--guitar, vocals, and band--sounds great!

[Soulshine59]

Freddie King has wicked chops! I see where Clapton gets a lot of his influence!

[jhc1music]

A complete master. This is some of the best out there. Tone, control, speed, technique, !feeling! Guitar school. Really well shot video. Go buy it.

[daisyandsteve]

[willwelsh816]

amazing tone out of that es-345

[PortieBhoy]

The best!!!

[clean3]

Oh yes...now you're talking! Thankyou for putting this up; Freddie was a giant in more ways than one.

[gatorblue]

Used to live in Austin and he came into town all the time in the 60's and 70's. What an enormous talent. As Clapton said, "Freddie King taught me all I ever needed to know."

[TonyOnTheRise]

Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Jimmy Page wish they could play the guitar like Freddie King.

[looptd]

His intrumentals were so awesome that his incredible voice gets overlooked. The way he sings "Have you ever loved a woman?" is incredible.

[diagreen]

1 of the most important guitarist ever.clapton,beck,iommi,may,pe­rry,page,schultz,etc...

[scottcampbell1958]

Sheesh... was Freddie ever good. The greasiest, tastiest phrasings ever laid down. What an amazing talent.

[bassbob42]

Oh yeah, the real deal for sure! What a lineup!

[GherkinGob]

[BluesVaughan]

[psychkoala]

I'M TORE DOWN... Cool, Thanks !

[eloseddie]

Freddy King at his peak.The band was from Nashville as was DJ/MC Hoss Allen.

Billy Cox was the killer Bass player who was a few years later in "The band of Gypsys" with Jimi Hendrix.Dig that FUNKY drummer....The great Gatemouth Brown is fronting this band....I wore out my videoof this performance. In spite of all the stupid lame comments you read on Youtube...Fredy King was on top of the heap...For so many reasons...Find out yourself...

[holjesus]

holy hell, that is billy cox. thanks for pointing that out

[crayhead]

AHHH---Great call on Gatemouth!!---sporting the smoking jacket with bow tie!!!----2 American music treasures!!!

[Marcacao]

Awesome footage! Thanks for posting!

[porkpiepaul]

Crushes the note at 1:34..ugnhhh

[56BUICKRiviera]

Makes a face 1:27 OW!

[kingmixer]

Wow I'm in Dallas Right now, why can't I just have a time Machine

[lordritchie]

Will rock and roll blues ever be this good again? And how about that Atmosphere. I love how Hoss Allen calls Freddy "Honey" Too cool!

[Sincopare]

What a sound. What a band. What go-go dancers. All riffs must be measured against these songs.

[TheWoodstockChannel]

Wow, very cool, Shawn. Where on earth did you find this? Viewers, there are actually two videos here. The first is great but the second is even better...

[56BUICKRiviera]

I think you can get this on vhs or dvd the whole performance. try ebay

[ciaobebbo050]

this really rocks! playing without a pick...very nice

[sam19851]

He's using a finger pick (on the end of his finger) and usually used a thumb pick also.

[SugarXMind99]

Plastic thumb pick/medal finger pick...for those who care about such details.

[BigDBlues]

I LOVE IT

[Sincopare]

This is the BEST video on youtube. I love how he's all about NOT blowing his cool at the break at 1:15...just be cool, man. Thank God for youtube!

[kdw456]

Freddy...the most understated "king"...he was so bad!!!.....always...to this day..I mention him..and people think I'm talking about the repairman..they have no clue what he meant to rock and roll...

[Dutchy1965]

@kdw456 yes true...but at least we know

[upchuck7]
