...often imitated but never duplicated......there was only ONE Freddie King. I thank god eveyday I grew up in the 60's and 70's and got to see guys like this.
Best live version i have heard. Hands down. He can rock it down down down. Takes me back to high school days in San Francisco Bay area. Santa Clara to be exact.
Seems the Black brother was a little offended by the White Brother's comment... & rightfully so.. but don't forget my brother... you still gotta work for Whitee !!.. & you mess around too much... & he'll lay your ass off !! Then you'll have plenty of time to listen to all the music you like !!! Ya dig.... Brother... !!!
freddie doesn't always play the right notes or even the most notes, but I can assure you, the notes he does play are right on mutha fucking time, everytime.
@mrjprimus It was written by a white boy, not Leon Russell, but one of his contemporaries, a guy by the name of Don Nix. Nix played with Leon Russell, Delaney and Bonnie and many others in the 50's and 70's and released several albums under his name.
There is a lot of good hip hop and a lots of good blues. Just because hip hop has hit the mainstream, and there are a lot more bad hip hop artists, doesn't mean all hip hop is bad.
White Hipsters Have every right to Criticize Rap & Compare it to the Great Freddie King , Even the Amish . If you could put FREDDIE KING on stage by himself and Gay Z , You would see who would Blow Who off the fkn stage .
He didn't Sample , played the guitar and sang like a Mofo ... the King !
Pay you dues before you make a fool of yourself by saying something trite about THE BLUES MASTERS. Any more waffle and prepare to face the fury of Blue.
Black, White, Red, Yellow.......music transcends color the sooner you all realize that the better off you will be. Embrace your brother for when we are cut we all bleed red.
this whole world transcends color, my brother!! martin luther king said "we all came over here on different boats.. but now we're all in the same boat.".. sez it as well as it can be said.
Freddie is amazing. I love the way he inspires his backup players. This is pure blues at its best. The greatest art form to come out of our America is this kind of genuine blues. God bless you, Freddie. Chills are running up and down my spine while I listen to this. fevbusch
Rubbermoog-don't tell Freddie King he's playing HIS song too fast! This is a bad ass live performance, he's getting a crowd energized. That's what a real showman does and that's what he was.
Freddie King was Incredible ! but I always hear all this shit about BB King this man would run circles around him ! so don't give me all this shit about BB all he's he did was outlive these guys.....nuff said
great bluesman,saw him in london a few times circa 1970,s,brilliant,a real influence on guitarists for many years .theres a few "rock"guitarists out there who became very famous covering his songs/instrumentals.
otish rush,albert king,buddy guy,bb king ,similar story.
.originals allways seem to be the best if not the richest.accept no substitutes and you wont go far wrong.
Stop with all the stupid talk and enjoy the music. Opinions are everywhere. We live in opinions. We're not gods here just people with a lot of opinions. Live it, Love it, show your rock n roll soul
there are plenty of white people that are well rounded musically that can like one artist and not another without denigrating a whole genre. I'm not a big country fan but love Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Loretta Lynn and appreciate the art form. Cause i don't like a lot of it or cause i don't like Toby Keith I don't go "Country sucks" or "it's a step down." That's hipster nonsense. I can appreciate it all without bashing all of it cause it's all beautiful music for everyone.
@duececaboose seriously? What is he? Is that pop? Sounds country to me. (either way insert Clint Black or some other country star). I'm still about to play me some Johnny Cash right now though.
@blakmagik4 i thinks it actually is closer to pop than what i'd identify as "country." BUT country is a pretty broad term though... under the umbrella of "country" you have honky tonk, old timey, bluegrass, alt. country, mainstream country, etc, etc. when i think of country i think of waylon jennings, kris kristofferson, towns van zandt, emmylou harris, gram parsons. that's just me though ;)
For the record i didn't say you need to be black to appreciate it. my comment was about white people that all of a sudden find a new music, then denigrate other forms as crap, specifically hip-hop while ignoring the fact that real hip-hop heads were born on this stuff. It's not one or the other. They are inseparable as parts of American black music, from chuck berry to james brown to michael jackson to run dmc. but cause you know one sort of rap doesn't mean you know hip-hop.
I do find it marginally amusing when hipster white people or some white dude who just found Freddie wants to indict hip-hop like they are being profound. Let me let you in a little secret. We grew up on this stuff in the 60, 70s, and 80s. Our houses played Bobby Womack, James Brown, Robert Johnson, T-bone Walker, Ray Charles, Muddy Water, Marvin Gaye from the day we were born. See we love it all. Like what you like but don't try and demonize what you don't know. You can appreciate it all.
@BjornTuroc Probably not. There also probably weren't ton of white people in the crowds when he was playing Checkerboard Lounge and 708 club on the South Side of Chicago. Sure its the same as rap concerts now. If someone does one in Atlanta and there will be largely black People. Do a concert at Duke U. and it will be largely White. But if all you saw was Duke it wouldn't mean black people don't know rap. Interestingly i randomly skipped to 1:26 and there's a black dude in the crowd.
BLUES CREATED JAZZ, ROCK, PUNK, METAL, GRUNGE, ETC.. Blues goes against conventional classical theory. Your essentially playing all Dominant 7th chords with pentatonic scales mixed with flatted 3rds & 7ths, the guide tones as they're called should follow the changes of the I, VI, & V chords. It's soulful and emotional and the guitar technique is suppose to follow the vocalizations that the early blues artists, african slaves, did with their voices on african scales. It's a beautiful thing.
@yogithecamel Your theory is extremely interesting to me. Can you direct me to literature on the subject, or is this an idea you came up with on your own? Either way, I'd like to hear more about what you posted. My background is in Hip Hop but I've recently "evolved" (?) into acoustical music production. Please respond or send me a comment so I can learn more from you. I'm into music theory and I think I could benefit from your insight.
@Renski69 I've been studying blues and by no means am I an expert in Music Theory. I'm mostly a 'play by ear' musician and I've been playing for quite a while. Guitar Lessons actually helped me understand music theory a lot better I would definitely recommend lessons if your interested in the Theory and the application of it. Some people spend all day on scales that don't sound like music at all.
A little too fast and that causes them to lose the groove, Freddie can't get the words out phrased properly. I guess it was the mix of speed and cocaine, they were flyin' man!!!!!!! This version lacks the little bass line/riff Freddie's brothers does on some other versions. The bass sound is awesome, just simple Fender J bass, probably an Acoustic 360 amp with that big 18" speaker, plus he used Fender Nylon covered strings, he was thumpin'.
OMG I cannot stop watching this video! Such a great tune and this performance is so darn good I can't stop my feet from moving, baby! Freddie King is ALWAYS exciting to watch and a total pleasure to listen to. I'd really like to spend a couple of hours with him with guitars strapped around our necks...I KNOW I'd leave that session a better guitar player, and a better person. Love Ya Freddie, wherever you are!
Look for an LP, The ALABAMA STATE TROOPERS.Has the Muscle Shoals'studios band backing Furry Lewis, Jeannie Greene,and Don Nix ending with the BEST live version of this song.LONG , SWEET and TIGHT!!!!!Don't know if its ever been on CD but its woth the search!
Several people have asked who wrote the tune "Goin' Down"., which has been covered by almost every blues artist out there. The writer was a guy named Don Nix. He produced a number of Stax hits in Memphis, and is very well known in the music industry. Google his nam to find out more about him.
Freddie King isn't in the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame because that isn't where he belongs. Now if there was a Blues Hall Of Fame he'd have his own section. ;D
@dorisu Even though this is a racist comment I'll ignore that part of it. Blacks still make and have made awesome music. Maybe your not a fan of funk and soul but I am. R&B is ok too but I agree hip hop is horrible but unfortunately it's what the kids want to hear..
@UpFromTheSkiess There just isn't as much good hip hop as there is bad hip hop. Most of it is young males in a pissing contest over who has the most cars, drugs, money, houses, and bimbos shaking their meat around for the camera. People want something to dance to when they're getting crunk in the club. It's the lowest form of music next to ICP and songs about Green tractors.
@yogithecamel ridiculous. just cause you don't like hip hop doesn't mean its' horrible. i dont' like country but there are plenty of good artists. hip-hop is an entire culture spanning 30+ years. to say it's horrible is essentially to claim a massive majority of black American culture under 45 is horrible. Clearly you just aren't hip-hop. But you're statement is simplistic. If you don't know good hip-hop that's you're fault for listening to crap. But hip-hop has never been about mainstream.
@blakmagik4 - great point, and well said. There is great art, and crap, in hip-hop like there is is any other genre of music. It all depends on where you look, and if you're capable of understanding it.
@Odin029 White people have always just recycled the music black people have created. When black people started creating crappy music (The Dawn of Rap), it was inevitable that white folk music would become crappy.
@TrapDaddy65 Um im not racist or anything, and yes i agree white people HAVE copied black music but as far as just ALWAYS @.@ If you can explain to me how classical is derived from black music or culture in any way then i will gladly listen/read. (modern classical doesn't count, i don't see how any of that comes from black culture either but its not the point i mean, classical from 1900 and back please)
@dorisu and all with their thumb up. Just like many white people deplore the musical statement being delivered by black people today, their parents and grandparents pointed angry fingers at black musicians playing blues, jazz, rock and roll, soul, funk and R&B. Only with the passing of decades do they realize the incredible beauty and deep social relevance of the music black people are bringing to their lives. The effort to truly appreciate these gifts is substantial, but infinitely rewarding.
That was amazing! This kind of band fuels other acts. I mean, no matter how big or famous your group is, you never want to follow that kind of band on stage. So all their chops get nicked and passed on until a wonderkid turns up and rips it off and is the next big thing. This kind of supreme band is where good sounds originate from.
Where would rock be w/o the Texas Cannonball? the Stones,the animals, Led zeppelin, the Kinks all cut their teeth on this stuff. Used to see him all over Dallas. the man loved to play! god bless Freddie!
@BigDtootall Who else? Rory Gallagher, The Sensational Alex Harvey Band, Roy Buchanan, Lonnie Mack, Albert Collins, Memphis Slim, Willie Dixon, Roy Rogers, Clarence Gatemouth Brown.....that oughtta get you started.
why because the hall of fame would rather put Michael Jacksons and maddona's
ugly mugs there.the hall of fame is full of shit.freddie was rockin the fuck out a long time before any of these chimpanzees thought they were the shit.oh yeah,and fuck mtv.go freddie!
Saw Freddie front row at UT Martin field house in 1974 and he opened for Marshall Tucker Band and he brought the house down. TWO encores! I will NEVER forget that show.
there are MANY deserving artists who are not in the rock n' roll hall of fame (btw, ABBA is in, and that's rock n' roll??)
it's a shame, but honestly we can all say fuck those elitist pricks for not giving the fans what they want. in the end we all know freddie IS a legend and a pioneer of a great genre. fuck the r'n'r hall of shame.
@Jagethemage Freddie King was a man. You'll always be a punkass bitch. You write mindless insults in the attempt of pissing off blues muscians and fans. If you had to jam with a talented blues musician you'd piss your pants in about three seconds.
@Jagethemage crazy? who are you calling crazy. you would'nt know crazy if charles manson was eating froot loops on your front porch! but if i offended you oh "I'm Sorry" but maybe you needed to be offended, and here's one more thing fuck you. Even when I'm wrong right........................................................
@Jagethemage Hey, sorry for misreading your first comment. Truth is, I Love Freddie King, and when I play I always tap that energy. Now, seriously what does anyone think the second verse of this song is? I've never been able to get legitimate lyrics.
The more I listen to Freddie King, the more I am convinced that he is probably the most soulful blues cat ever!! The voice, the guitar sound is just the best!!
Like all the Blues Greats that have passed on,most of them are forgotten ! Freddie King,Albert King,Paul Butterfield & Many more should be ! Really the list is endless they should be in the Rock & Blues hall of fame ! There Music lives on ! Thank You B.B KING-BUDDY GUY-OTIS RUSH-ROBERT CRAY-ALBERT COLLINS-JOHNNY COPELAND-JIMMY WITHERSPOON-ELMORE JAMES-JIMMY REED-T BONE WALKER IT GOES ON & ON LOWELL FOLSOM-OTIS SPAN I COULD KEEP GOING ! BILLY HOLLIDAY ON & ON & ON !
I been tellin everybody to FLOOD EVERY LIVE MORNING RADIO SHOW W/PHONECALLS & BUY NO MORE MUSIC OF ANYONES UNTIL LEON IS INDUCTED,,, Sure could use your help..
LEON DESERVES IT ,, & WE OWE IT TO LEON !!!
I believe he wrote this song,, i do know he sent it to Freddie King to record.....
Nix MIGHT have wrote this song, but it was Leon that called Freddie in to record it,,, but which ever way it was it dont matter,, we are just blessed to have heard them both,,
wouldve loved to hear them both on it at same time, like Leon & J.J.,,, :)
+1 @ crossxca. amazing player. everyone lists him as an influence. he could do rock, blues, soul, r&b, delta -- all of it. and what an entertainer. wake up, cleveland!
I wish people didn't need Eastbound and Down to inform them of how awesome freddie king is... but i suppose i should be grateful that the editors chose this song, leading people to one of the Kings of blues
@aypee16 seriously though! i love the blues.. and after i seen that show i was like who the fuck is this?! now i love aalll his music. im very happy they led me to him.
Freddy King provided a ton of DNA for all the big Blues/Rockers...get him into The Hall and quit screwin around. I think we should start removing guitarists of a lesser talent and make some room for the big man.
"A lot of people ask me, 'Kenny Powers, you're a giant superstar. You can get any woman. Have you ever paid for sex?' And the answer is yes, I have. Several times, in fact. And it's actually kinda cool. You can negotiate practically anything and sometimes, even just kind of do stuff in the moment that you never agreed to pay for; and it goes by without much argument." - Kenny f'n Powers
eric clapton and freddie king were eachothers heros in the early days. played together. and their similair playing shows that quite well. blues to the bone brotha
He was such a cool cat & huge figure in Blues .Nice guy to boot.Thank God I saw him when Clapton toured in 75 on his "There's One in Every Crowd tour"WOW..
Thumbs up if Kenny Powers brought you here.

Freddie King isn't in the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame because that isn't where he belongs. Now if there was a Blues Hall Of Fame he'd have his own section. ;D

@dorisu Even though this is a racist comment I'll ignore that part of it. Blacks still make and have made awesome music. Maybe your not a fan of funk and soul but I am. R&B is ok too but I agree hip hop is horrible but unfortunately it's what the kids want to hear..

@UpFromTheSkiess There just isn't as much good hip hop as there is bad hip hop. Most of it is young males in a pissing contest over who has the most cars, drugs, money, houses, and bimbos shaking their meat around for the camera. People want something to dance to when they're getting crunk in the club. It's the lowest form of music next to ICP and songs about Green tractors.
yogithecamel 9 months ago
@yogithecamel ridiculous. just cause you don't like hip hop doesn't mean its' horrible. i dont' like country but there are plenty of good artists. hip-hop is an entire culture spanning 30+ years. to say it's horrible is essentially to claim a massive majority of black American culture under 45 is horrible. Clearly you just aren't hip-hop. But you're statement is simplistic. If you don't know good hip-hop that's you're fault for listening to crap. But hip-hop has never been about mainstream.

@blakmagik4 - great point, and well said. There is great art, and crap, in hip-hop like there is is any other genre of music. It all depends on where you look, and if you're capable of understanding it.

@Odin029 White people have always just recycled the music black people have created. When black people started creating crappy music (The Dawn of Rap), it was inevitable that white folk music would become crappy.

@TrapDaddy65 Um im not racist or anything, and yes i agree white people HAVE copied black music but as far as just ALWAYS @.@ If you can explain to me how classical is derived from black music or culture in any way then i will gladly listen/read. (modern classical doesn't count, i don't see how any of that comes from black culture either but its not the point i mean, classical from 1900 and back please)
edgarpoefan 4 months ago
@dorisu and all with their thumb up. Just like many white people deplore the musical statement being delivered by black people today, their parents and grandparents pointed angry fingers at black musicians playing blues, jazz, rock and roll, soul, funk and R&B. Only with the passing of decades do they realize the incredible beauty and deep social relevance of the music black people are bringing to their lives. The effort to truly appreciate these gifts is substantial, but infinitely rewarding.

That was amazing! This kind of band fuels other acts. I mean, no matter how big or famous your group is, you never want to follow that kind of band on stage. So all their chops get nicked and passed on until a wonderkid turns up and rips it off and is the next big thing. This kind of supreme band is where good sounds originate from.

it's a shame, but honestly we can all say fuck those elitist pricks for not giving the fans what they want. in the end we all know freddie IS a legend and a pioneer of a great genre. fuck the r'n'r hall of shame.

"A lot of people ask me, 'Kenny Powers, you're a giant superstar. You can get any woman. Have you ever paid for sex?' And the answer is yes, I have. Several times, in fact. And it's actually kinda cool. You can negotiate practically anything and sometimes, even just kind of do stuff in the moment that you never agreed to pay for; and it goes by without much argument." - Kenny f'n Powers
