Albert King - As The Years Go Passing By (live in Montreux with Rory Gallagher)

[mgmstylist]

I have always loved Albert King. I saw him when I was just a kid. Back stage after the show I met him and asked if he needed any roadies. He was amused and smiled and said no, he's got all the help he needs. There was a dude was slipping his shoes off and giving him his slippers. No party, no hanger-ons. Just a silly kid in Nashville looking for a way in. But Rory Gallagher? He fucked this song up! He might be good in his own right but please stay with what you do and leave the masters alone!

[baliman555]

this is from Albert King "Live in Montreux". Interesting story... King invited Gallagher to play a couple of numbers with him, but didn't tell Rory what key the songs were in. Gallagher had to ask one of the horn players... "B natural boy " !!!

[msflo1926]

Alright, this is so awesome !!!!!!!!!!

[Aivopiirakka]

If someone has any clue in which album this is recorded at, please tell me.

A download link to this song is also accepted!

Thankyou very much!

As the king go passing by

[exquimer]

Impresionante Rory con se siente como le corre el blues por las venas

[msflo1926]

I wanna cry !!!!!!!!!

[shaneh1983]

great song

[jesusislove1960]

Wow!

[rasta4ian]

When I listen to this I can only wonder why I have the feeling I was born 30-40 years too late.

[MedeaTor]

What an amazing session this must have been! Albert and Rory. Beautiful.

[nunestunes]

rory has perfect touch here, and well albert is just the king (rip both)

[runrabbitrun4342]

Does anybody know what kind of amp Albert kind was using over his years as a blues man??? For that matter any of his equipment / other than his guitar.

[collinsrv]

@runrabbitrun4342 Amps: Acoustic 270 Solid State Head - Roland JC-120 Jazz Chorus Combo / 2x12 - and an MXR Phase 90 Phaser pedal

[collinsrv]

@runrabbitrun4342 oh and i forgot to say that i wasn´t kidding, he REALLY USED a Phase 90, that´s really crazy and the very first time i heard about that i thought it was a joke. Also,  I think he used a fender tweed bassman sometimes

[dana1053]

Woow! Incredible!!!

[harecarroll]

a man well before his time,,, jst check out the axe.

[basedee]

As a Doors fan , im humbled that a man like Albert recognized the blues in Morrison.

[fatfat706]

tres bon guitariste et tres belle voix

[daviemcf]

Fantastic solo from the one and only Mr Rory Gallagher!!

[bopofficer]

I love the sound of the guitar in the blues, the ebb and flow, the whinning and churning. Albert King is incredible.

[carnifexmactator]

I have this version in my collection of Albert King cd's. JUST AWESOME!!!

[rollingntumbling]

I did not know this song, I came here just because I like Albert King, my wife went to my country while I finish studies and two days ago she says she wants to leave. I am in tears

[greatelisa]

we still have to learn in music by these guys ... some whites of my generation were able not only technically but also to shape the soul in this way!

[BadBADdAd99]

This is the stuff tears are made of

[PanSzczupak]

you can hear layla riff in 'there's nothing i can do' verse

[paygi110709]

I wish all stupid teenagers who listen tall that bullshit songs from this days, listen this kind of music and save his souls.

Thanks for posting this. What a great song--and great playing by the band, Mr. King and Mr. Gallagher, but it's the vocals that just simply put me on my knees. Fantastic!

[vinylguy38]

[vaneeparnot]

@vinylguy38  yes himself

[zbdbz]

Rory Gallagher's solo on this is a clinic on how to tell a story with a guitar. One of the all-time greats.

[mamma816]

@zbdbz

rory gallagher ?

[Peterdidit]

@mamma816  yeah, Rory was there in Montreux playing 2nd Guitar. Wish i would've been there (along with about 1 billion other fans). cheers

[asdesas]

@zbdbz Great comment! Rory was an absolute god of guitar--and one of the most explosive live performers of all time!
