BB is the hit, no doubt about it. Looks like he's playing pretty good to me. The story here, as much as i love Riley B King, is Mr. T Bone Walker, whom we al owe so much! He was doing all those tricks that Hendrix did, 40 years before.. Hendrix credited T Bone with his moves, playing with his teeth, behind the back, etc.. Mr. T Bone Walker did more for blues than he will ever get credit for. A guitar whiz, with a voice that cuts like a knife... Thank you T Bone and BB! Love 4 ever!
what makes music special is soul and feel, in every genre soul and feel can be achieved. And music that doesn't come from the heart is pure about money and shit. that's why I can assure you lady gaga, justin bieber, etc. will come and go my friends. music with soul and story is timeless they are classics, in the end al the previously named shall vanish in the earth and all we shall know is the music we remember. the music that made us believe in things and gave us hope. blues unites people
@avalanche344 - Amen to that. BB King and Lucille introduced me to the blues and made me want to explore this amazing sound. They just kept paving the road for T-Bone
Holy moley! Wow. I saw stuff like this when I was twenty and was too stupid to know what I was looking at. Now I'm sixty and I'm just starting to get it. Slow learner.
@mikexlong actually im pretty sure thats a 345, kinda hard to see but you can always tell b/c 345 have the 6 position varitone switch as 335 dont. Same guitar freddie king uses and countless others
@simonsmithmusic I KNOW! It's such a trip! One, literally, finds all these gems on You Tube and they just keep going on forever! I have so many playlists to download & burn or copy. But they HAVE to be on disc. It never stops! My hard drive is GONE on my Vista from music and movies. I have to use an external. It's such a trip! and I love it!!
T-Bone Walker was and always has been BB Kings idol,,if you get the chance,,watch the dvd collection of The History of Rock N Roll and BB admits he was very sumwhat intimidated by T-Bone,,especially when T-Bone does the splits with the guitar behind his head and still doesnt miss a lick on the strings....CLASSIC VINTAGE FOOTAGE HERE,,,TYVM...R.I.P T-BONE...LONG LIVE THE KING!
thank you gods of Music for bringing these two excellent gentlemen together and preserving it for my eyes to see and my ears to hear I thank you from the bottom of my heart

Inconceivable how incredible it is two see two giants with such huge fingerprints on the blues and guitars playing together. God Bless the guy who shared this with us!!!
You hear a lot of shit from young folks about BB King couldn't do more than his handful of signature lick. Sure, those sticking to those licks in the later years paid his rent, but dig deep into BB, especially the early years and you find on baddass guitar player not be trifled with.
I reckon for BB King that this would have been like a young kid today playing alongside Stevie Ray onstage (if he was still alive God bless him) but times 100.
Some seriously deep blues being played and sung here. Great use of a few notes and many notes in the same set. Jaw dropping vocals by T-Bone and BB KIng...
Wow....this is so cool. If you listen to BB's early playing in the 50s, you knew his main influence was T-Bone. Also, if it wasn't for T-Bone, Chuck Berry would have been lost. Thanks for posting!
Then I get c a jewel lik this!! Youtube is 1 of thse Awesum, mind bending ideas I wshed I had helpd invent. 2 stories A friend's uncl offrd "me" a 'show chormd blk '67 GTO for $4k in '82. I wz 18.

"Youtube fantastic." What an understatement! Don't be shy. I have seen things whispered and rumored about. I have seen things/info hidden from the public, but was meant to be seen by all. I have seen creatures, men, women, machines, places, etc,; I would have never been able to see. I have seen events/things only seen in pictures or talked about. I have seen events/things I missed because I was: too young, too old, could'nt be in 2 places @ the same time, too far away from. etc. continued...
Blah, blah, blah mastercard....but THIS is priceless. Who knew this event ever even took place?
What would you say? 90% (or close) of the vocabulary for electric rock and blues guitar was written and invented by the two guys on stage with guitars here.
BB I have always loved. I always loved T-Bone but he sounds better live than he does on studio recordings. T-Bone must have always practiced to stay so good.
Fuck people make stupid comments on you tube... as is beautifully fucking illistraded by the stupid comments below... you shit heads miss the point... this is the essence of life... this is the human condition... dig the shit out of your brains, motherfuckers and dig this beautiful shit being laid out for y'all. Stop thinking and start feeling.... your soul will thank you for it. RIP T-Bone... live forever BB...
Man, BB King hasn't sounded so good. It's amazing how playing with his idol does for his payin. I love it man, soul. Yeah man, that's how it's done people.
THANK YOU for sharing this historic performance! T-Bone and B B on the same stage... must of been truly amazing to witness live. The talent and energy these 2 musicians had back in the 60's is remarkable!
This footage is truly priceless! Thanks for posting it!! Two all-time greats. I saw BB in concert earlier this year and he is older now than T-Bone is here which is strange. You did a service to Youtube uploading this video.
Not just the intro, the feel of the whole song- the tempo, the swing, the time signature Even the way the bends are played is very similar. The phrasing in the guitar solo passages is also similar. I think he must have been influenced by it. Maybe not though, maybe it's just an excellent example of the typical form at the time. Either way, it's clear hendrix loved this stuff.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Just gonna throw it out there... maybe they sound alike because of the whole.. BLUES aspect of it... blues is the same.. its all 1,4,5... and 12 bars..... and i mean ANY blues song with the red house tempo.. could sound like Red House lol... but still I FUCKING LOVE BLUES. - this song is awsome
Very true, also Buddy Guy's showmanship and energy certainly formed a blue print for the way Hendrix was onstage....watching some clips of a young Buddy Guy is almost like watching Hendrix in the way he plays and also his physical prowess.
O-M-F-G im speechless... i watched T-Bone the first time today... im toasted... this guy is... i dont find words. Seems to me this guy is as close on Jimi Hendrix as no one else
If you think Hendrix resembles T-Bone Walker, there's a very good reason for that. T-Bone Walker was one of Hendrix's main inspiration, the trick Hendrix did, playing the guitar behind his back, was first done by T-Bone Walker. After a concert Hendrix saw, he was amazed by it and adapted it in his own musical performances later in life. However, I'm not saying T-Bone Walker was better than Hendrix, but merely that he was one of Hendrix's inspirations in music.
Yes that's right bobgure Charlie Christian lick's. I find it kind of funny that BB would do that ! T bone is closer to Charlie than BB, You know Charlie, T Bone then BB kind of in that order, just go's to show good lick's are good lick's.
These guys don't lie and don't cheat. They play without any effects to hide behind. Guitars plugged straight to the amps and let the good times roll !
I don't believe that using effects is ALWAYS hiding, it simply adds colour to the music, without which much rock would be a lot blander, but I know what you mean.
Ya guitar slim was way back ,think he died in about 54 or55.Just burnout on his feet.Livin life so fast.Great player,wow.showman ship. These two cats is steep. Thankyou u-tube. all these great things that might never see the light of day except in private collectons. Luv this shit.
Theres nobody better than BB & T-Bone these guys could smoke and make them guitars talk to ya, You treat me mean baby but I'm going to keep on lovin you baby. Yes thats the blues right there......
I wonder why in almost every guitar blues video available on Youtube, there has to be a fucking discussion about who's better than who or who influenced who.. everybody is a frickin' expert all of a sudden !! and they start with the "fuck you" , "i hate your family" etc... dude... seriously, just enjoy the music...
Not true at all. Of course and yes, he was influenced by T-Bone like many others, but he had his other influences as well what Jimi did had nothing to do or very little with T-Bone. You can maybe see some sign of the influence. but directly nothing happened. Jimi was his own man who was way ahead of his time. There is a reason why Jimi is regarded as being the most creative and inovative guitar player of all times.
"Don't know nothing???" Really? Nice double negative there pal. I was just saying that Jimi got some of his moves from Guitar Slim, an earlier musician. That's a fact not an opinion so do your homework before you tell me to shut the fuck up again asshole. You obviously "don't know nothing" about English.
you sir are a know it all idiot, i see your comments all over, all thumbs down motherfucker, just shut up retard, your probablly some prepubescent child anyway, go comment on a john mayer video
before Hendrix played any rock, he was playing blues, quite well I might add, but all blues comes from the heart, so even though the chords/notes and riffs are the same, they are all unique, listen carefully and you will hear
if 2:02 onwards isn't the inspiration to red house, I don't know what is. Not just the fact it's a 12 bar blues, but the tempo, the 6/8 feel and even the lick at the start.
Sweet Sixteen Blues is the song title.. you need to see B.B.King perform this song in Zaire the night before the Muhammed Ali vs George Foreman fight he is amazing... the concert was known as "The Black Woodstock" and featured James Brown, Pointer Sisters, Loyd Price, B.B.King and many more artists
How can anyone not love this? The blues is the root of all American music!

These guys don't lie and don't cheat. They play without any effects to hide behind. Guitars plugged straight to the amps and let the good times roll !

I don't believe that using effects is ALWAYS hiding, it simply adds colour to the music, without which much rock would be a lot blander, but I know what you mean.

The Edge exploits effects, tasteful guitarists can make them sound great, some different examples would be Jimi or Kevin Shields.

I wonder why in almost every guitar blues video available on Youtube, there has to be a fucking discussion about who's better than who or who influenced who.. everybody is a frickin' expert all of a sudden !! and they start with the "fuck you" , "i hate your family" etc... dude... seriously, just enjoy the music...

I dont think it can get any better. Two of the best, if not the best ever to play blues guitar giving a performance for the ages. Listen and learn.

Without BB king and T-Bone Walker there would have been no Jimi Hendrix.

Not true at all. Jimi had many other influences that were more important than these guys.

Not true at all. Of course and yes, he was influenced by T-Bone like many others, but he had his other influences as well what Jimi did had nothing to do or very little with T-Bone. You can maybe see some sign of the influence. but directly nothing happened. Jimi was his own man who was way ahead of his time. There is a reason why Jimi is regarded as being the most creative and inovative guitar player of all times.

Guitar Slim was doing Hendrix way before Hendrix man. Probably ten years before.

You obviously don't know nothing about the blues and guitar playing.
Jimi Hendrix is #1 in inovation, impact and creativity. You sir shut the fuck up!
grga888 2 years ago
"Don't know nothing???" Really? Nice double negative there pal. I was just saying that Jimi got some of his moves from Guitar Slim, an earlier musician. That's a fact not an opinion so do your homework before you tell me to shut the fuck up again asshole. You obviously "don't know nothing" about English.

before Hendrix played any rock, he was playing blues, quite well I might add, but all blues comes from the heart, so even though the chords/notes and riffs are the same, they are all unique, listen carefully and you will hear

if 2:02 onwards isn't the inspiration to red house, I don't know what is. Not just the fact it's a 12 bar blues, but the tempo, the 6/8 feel and even the lick at the start.

Sweet Sixteen Blues is the song title.. you need to see B.B.King perform this song in Zaire the night before the Muhammed Ali vs George Foreman fight he is amazing... the concert was known as "The Black Woodstock" and featured James Brown, Pointer Sisters, Loyd Price, B.B.King and many more artists

This is the consumate master class for the blues guitar.
Dig the Charlie Christian tags from B.B in the beginning. Swinging and inimitable.
