[zaldivarjohn]

Man oh man, I'm so lucky to reconnect with Freddie King!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks to these classic videos, thanks to YouTube.

[Kolef88]

whatever happened to this kind of music? ain't nuthin like the real thing.

[worldstatic]

One of my favorites guitarist of all time top 4 and this song top 3. His voice let alone playing and song writing...One of a kind.

[cdevers100]

A Monster Blues Architect........The house that Freddie built stands to this day....

[JahminXS]

If you dont have the Blues then you lie to yourself about always being happy! Blues is the very heartbeat and rythum that pumps through each and every one of our veins and Freddy,like all the "Kings",were the great messengers (Albert, BB inclusive) that sung and played the blues to a 'Bluesed out world'.Without the Blues life would simply not exist! Freddy played the bluesat it's Bluest!

[jdwhiteedit]

can you tell us what year this is from? thx.

[anthonythirteen]

only 1 criticism - who was on the mixing desk? The guitar disappears at times, swamped by vocals and the brass section. Not up to the standard of the muscianship of the biggest King.

[catssniffs]

A real blues master, Not many of them around anymore, Plays the guitar like he means it. Thanks for the upload.

[rollingstopp]

they say jimi h music is un equaled,, but its freddies music

[mvarahadas]

Like these folks are saying, Freddie kicked ass. This kind of blues playing is no longer seen. varaha

[saxby01]

Best blues player bar none.

[shinotora1X]

Love the way he wrestles the blues outa that quitar.

[shinotora1X]

Wow

[awkwarderic]

This is from an old television show called THE!!! BEAT it has recently been put out on dvd, and while the performances are sometimes lip-synced and some acts are not that great it is still a goldmine of blues, RnB, and soul. many of the artists came out Texas and Louisiana. Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown was the leader of the band, but oddly enough he not in this video.

[bluelibra65]

you can't deny your roots !!!!

[diagreen]

[bluez1981]

many of my favorite blues artist..where either good singers or great muscians..even the weak singers got by cause they were so passionate..but freddie king..wow what a talent.. GREAT guitar player..good enough to memorize a young Eric Clapton and make him wanna sound like King!! but as a singer..what a powerful soulful voice... he's one of my favorites!!

[Tobikoe]

Several times his voice sounds a bit like Ray Charles. Great song by one of my favourite blues artists.

[nin4lifefan]

SRV OWES THIS GUY

[evanfrmheaven]

SRV is just a turkey next to the King..

[kdw456]

stevie loved Freddie

[craiglouis]

@kdw456 And I can't blame him! I saw him open for Santans when he toured the fourht album Caravanserai. We all loved Calos ^ Co. but he was tearing the roof off and we were lookin at eat other in amazement, then hating to see him leave. Must've been mid to late '73. I feel lucky to have see him smoke before we lost him: "heaven done called another Blues Stringer back home..."

[puffinonindo]

@kdw456 who doesnt love freddie

[roadappleband]

@puffinonindo You got that right !!

[beachidiot]

@kdw456 Eric loved Freddie

[Doud92]

PURE GENIUS

[bloozplyr]

Whew!!

,,,Now if THAT doesn't leave you breathless.... =8oO

[AristotleStax]

Clapton???!

this is all exactly like BB King,

listen to BB King - sweet sixteen

or "you done lost your good thing now"

[tubeampz1]

yeah TRBUFF..! Clapton was still in guitar school when Freddy was doin the Chitlin circuit with his own band back in 62,63 and on..! I saw Freddy all his soulful glory at Glendale Jr. College in 65..then at Chico State in about 75..thats all I needed..to love him forever! RIP

[TRBUFF]

Clapton's licks are evident in this song. Freddie King pioneered a ton of Clapton's riffs and fills.

[zginelli]

very very true, TRBUFF

[Bucket1Head3]

We shouldn't choose favourites between these blues Kings because they are all phenomnal musicians. They are all Kings in my point of view there is no whos better. They Sit in 3 different Thrones all equaly the same height, size and Shape. All with there signature guitars behind them.

Ladies the Gentlemen the THREE KINGS OF BLUES

[MUN7001]

its just funny how Clapton gets more praise than the originals

[Bucket1Head3]

i thinks its cuz he still alive getting more new fans faster than Freddies kings is.

But Clapton is great and freddie king is great. But clapton get to much praise as a blues artist. Clapton is a very very good blues artist but his skills as a blues artist compared to what he was doin in the past dont match.

[kdw456]

freddie went out at 42 from hard livin.. and his style was so intense.. much more than BB,, and was more articulate and expansive than AK.. forever Fred

[MUN7001]

he should have lived longer - bad eating habits, and too nice to the whiteys

[Kolef88]

The ultimate showman playing the raw blues sweet as sugar. The man is the best!

[eloseddie]

Freddie's vocal delivery is is every bit as great as his guitar virtueousity...That is to say F'ckin Incredible....

[blackcatsmith]

somebody check on that dancer back there I think she might be convulsing.

[aerosmithica]

haha shes already dancing to disco music.... lol not quite right for blues

[bass0111]

Great video -- great band. Freddie plays de blues! The bass player is far too busy, though.

mh

[bluez1981]

I agree.. wow.. Freddie was THE MAN

I love BB and Albert.. there great in there own right. but for me Freddie was the total package...haunting solos that gives me chills what soul...and such a sweet powerful voice... this is the guy Eric Clapton tried to mimic when he was a Bluesbreaker..and who wouldnt!!

[herseyb]

I am a huge Albert fan but Freddie isn't behind him at all...

I wouldn't want to have to choose between the two.

[stuagu]

now i love bb & l love albert... i really do but freddie is the king man!

[Bluzer86]

real blues

[joeljjison]

each note is soo sweet

[bigslick45]

The REAL DEAL! THE CONK/SWEAT/.

[stratocastermojo]

beautiful licks.

[ted149]

This is FANTASTIC - what a voice! Ulitimate blues guitar playing and tone!

And what a killer backbeat!

[johnnyjolijt]

1:40. Still under BB's influence :)

[sam19851]

I dont know why people have given you a thumbs down.

You can hear that BB King raise in the voice, it's uncanny.

And it was a ' tongue in cheek' comment and not meant to be taken too seriously, why people who know nothing of the music they are listening to feel the need to ignorantly put peoples comments down is beyond me.

[BLKCATBAND]

Yeah I notice too that earlier on his tones was little mellower and he seems to have used a lot more major pentatonic stuff back then! I love Freddie King....hes the man. Him and Albert Collins are the 2 I take from the most. I love Mr. King's vocal work.

[chooseyourblues]

Bad ass Motherfucker. Steve Van Zant said in an interview that when he was a kid he asked Freddie for an autograph and he pulled a gun on him!

They don't make em like they used to!

[pjeball]

Fuck, Wow. That horn section is amazing, as is Freddie's playing and singing. All of it is.

[Heckelmaster]

Geat Performance!

[BordiniBlues85]

because of it i love the blues...

[srvinfinity]

SSSMMMooooottthhh!

[BigDBlues]

Yeah man check out all of his vids from this show that are posted. Some of the best blues on YouTube no doubt.

[specter1001]

video of freddie performing san ho zay at the same show on my channel if anyones interested

[BigDBlues]

My favorite blues voice.

[ElmoLewiss]

i dig that thin strap and on the right shoulder too, a Gibson like that goes for big bucks these days.

[AA1969]

AMAZING performance. Freddie and the band is just perfect. Dynamics and energy for days...

[docblakey]

The guy thats playing rhythm on this video is named Johnny Jones. He is the same guy that taught Hendrix the blues. Of course he taught me also. Check him out on my youtube videos. He just turned 73 years old and still plays the hell out of that guitar. He and i are on several youtube videos together.

[blueskycrying]

Freddie King the true "King of the blues"

[browncoat454]

THE REAL DEAL

[NotSoUniversal]
