Dude was insane good. Notice how he realizes one of his strings is out of tune around 1:08, he just reaches over and twists it right into tune, like it's no big deal.
From my many years of seeing this type of talent I can only assume he was a real handful. Guys like that don't take nothin from nobody. Bless his heart.
I still remember well his live in Japan (not this stage). He played in small live house, and it was really a fun. Very nice funky guy. Nobody can play guitar like him.
As he got older he got more complex - unlike many of his contemporaries. There's pull-offs on top of pull-offs, with bent chords sandwiched between. I just love this man. He will always be my favorite.
what's this about Malmsteens or Garymoores? Not sure what they are "saying" when they are playing guitar. If they pay attention, they might be able to learn something about music from Albert.
But it has abolutely nothing to do with race or nationality, and I'm sure Albert would have said that himself.

Twenty years ago i was doing timein a Missouri prison and everyday for 6years me an Albert spent time together in a cell, of course he was only there by cassete but, he was my savior in those dark days. Well, look at me now Albert im all grown up and never going there again but i took you with me and here you will remain by my side dear friend. Thank you!
He has everything he needs within half the fretboard space than a regular guitarist would need. Just unreal! God Bless you Albert and God rest your soul, brother.
holy shit he's so good. i love how into it he gets. this is the first time seeing albert collins and hearing him play. FANTASTIC. Was just listening to SRV and heard him mention albert collins and searched immediately for him. thanks for the upload!
People like Albert is just... so fucking freaking awesome! I mean just listen too the guitar sound!!! It is too much! How is it even possible too give a guitar so much love!? Its awesome!!! Damn, I love it!
@ProfessorWonder "Professor", how can you even imagine to compare those two? Malmsteen plays neo-classical metal, Albert Collins plays blues. They have almost nothing in common.
Not that I agree with comments underrating Malmsteen but your analogy is a little off I believe. You're comparing apples with oranges: Composers with a shredder...
I am not a Preacher Man. Logic is hard to avoid. Dueteronomy, IS in the music, blaring to rival the trumpet on stage. If you don't hear it, have a good time for me. I'll see you a lttle farther down the road, swinging in the breeze.
When he tunes on the fly and rolls into that ascending scale pattern...priceless! He was a master! People can trash talk him cause he used a capo, but so what? He was one of the best!
i had the pleasure of playing with albert and i had a picture of it some goof stole it damn that man anyway we shared a hotel room and we use to talk on the phone anyway i miss him we were good friends
To 10 electric bluesmen, no particular order Albert,Freddie ,B.B King Earl Hooker,Magic Sam,Otis Rush,Albert Collins,Buddy Guy,T Bone Walker and yes Jimi Hendrix.
Nobody sounds like Albert Collins. He has no clones. Albert King has his SRV and Freddie King has his Clapton, but AC is totally unique. I guess it's that crazy tuning of his which allows all the pulloffs. You really can't do his licks justice in standard tuning.
@1Doz I bet even he couldn't do "his licks" in standard tuning. Not to diminish his talent, he's got a great feel. He's probably using that capo on the 10th fret cause the band's playing in D instead of the common E or A. It's pretty important for a musician to know stuff in all keys. The standard blues I IV V I is not a tough progression either. You'd think a lifelong player would have spent some time learning his instrument a little better. The altered tuning and capo is cop out.
AC capos everything. There's no way to do his licks in standard tuning. I've tried. You can play the notes but you can't get the feel quite right. AC is one of the greats and I don't begrudge him a thing. He's a lead player, a singer, a songwriter, and a bandleader. He leaves the chords to someone else. That's how a lot of those guys did it. Nothing wrong with it. They left us some great music.
@zenbolt How do you know I haven't already? So many people have "made it work" like Albert. Trust me, if there is anything that leads one to better musicianship, it's knowledge of the craft and instrument. I dare you to see if you can figure any way to dispute this fact. Musicians are supposed to be trained like any other trade. You want a mechanic taking shortcuts while working on your car? How about a chef who doesn't know the difference between sugar and salt?
@1Doz The other dude who as no copies is Johnny Guitar Watson. Most white dudes can't fuck with 'em cause it's got too much funk, too much rythm in it. White lead blues players ain't really interested in rythm or groove.
I hear ya. Groove is what sets apart the great lead players from the average ones, black or white. You gotta remember that right hand. Limp, unfunky lead playing gets old after about 10 seconds no matter how clever the notes are.
the sax player on the right is John R Smith was in Edgar Winter's "White Trash Horn Section" and was on alot of great albums, I helped him move out of home in Charlotte nc
I don't think this is Albert's band. I've seen him a lot, & none of these guys look familiar. Actually, they sound better than many versions of the Ice breakers., but who are they?
the best...the best...and I've seen SRV, BB King, John Lee Hooker, Roy Buchanan, Buddy Guy, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Carlos Santana, ..etc..to name a few....Albert was like nothing you've ever imagined...no pause between sets, non-stop, jamming blues concerts...
You can have an Albert Collins custom Telecaster guitar from the Fender Custom Shop for around $4000.
Albert Collins Signature Telecaster®
The Ice Mans 66 Custom Telecaster guitar is faithfully replicated in this screamer! The Albert Collins Signature Telecaster features a double-bound swamp ash body, specially-shaped maple neck with 21 frets, a custom Seymour Duncan® humbucking pickup at the neck and a custom vintage Fender Tele pickup at the bridge.
Turn that fender supper reverb up all the way, let it rip,man that guy could play. There will never be another one like him, we are losing all the blues masters. I dont see anyone to replace any of them.
He sure could bend the notes! God bless him, and God bless Philip Antone who brought him to his Home of the Blues in Austin...God rest both of their souls!

Oops! Blonde moment...sure do. Just had dinner a couple weeks ago with my friend Pete who used to tour with the Iceman...Pete plays a monster guitar as well...When he came in to play at Antone's, he always brought Pete (Texas boy with family in the area) in with him even though there's a great house band...says alot about Albert Collins' generous nature,
One of the greatest blues men of all time and kids gotta come in with comments like he didn`t eat and he swore. Go back to your teeny chat rooms you fukwits and let we adults enjoy the mastery of the iceman !!!!!
God I love Albert. I learned how to play guitar by just riffing pentatonic over "Too Many DIrty Dishes" when I was a kid and drove my family crazy. I had a POS Peavey Predator and would crank up the treble on my amp to the max to try and get that trebly sound.
I will always love Albert Collins for getting me into the Blues. Go Iceman!!
@ricbob I knew Albert and loved him. I first met him at Budddy Guy's Legends in Chicago. After the show ended, Albert invited me to the Blackstone Hotel, where he was staying. Wanted me to sit in with him, Buddy Guy, Junior Wells, and a bunch of others. We didn't get out of Legends until about 5:30 AM. I knew then I was screwed. However, the jams turned out to be delightful, and we had a really, really good time.
He was the ultimate showman. As part of every show, he had hundreds of foot of cord on a giant spool and would work his way through the crowd and go out into the street and continue, where all you could hear was the plucking of the strings.
wonderfull moments when he hear the untuned E note at 1:08 and while hes plaing he fix imediatly and not stop the solo ... i love it , real god of blues !!!
You want to realized how real jump blues was meant to be played? Listen to this guy.. Flow like a butterfly..sting you w/the ice picking tone..I can listen to this guy all day. Death to John Mayer
I read that he was playing at Antone's in Austin and walked next door through an alley and ordered a pizza- while he was still playing. Then the delivery guy walked into the show and didn't know what was happening.
I only caught the ast 20 seconds. Is it Albert Collins?

He was the ultimate showman. As part of every show, he had hundreds of foot of cord on a giant spool and would work his way through the crowd and go out into the street and continue, where all you could hear was the plucking of the strings.

I read that he was playing at Antone's in Austin and walked next door through an alley and ordered a pizza- while he was still playing. Then the delivery guy walked into the show and didn't know what was happening.
THAT is a showman.

I guess Albert was hungry to order pizza :) Probably didn't get a chance to eat beforehand. :)
