B.B. KING, STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN, ERIC CLAPTON - Why I Sing the Blues

[cedo83]

This is MUSIC!!

[chiffonsferrailles]

So amazing!

I didn't read any of the comments.

mine comes from the heart.

[Maveriks1010]

forgot mr albert king

[StringTherapy]

this was on Showtime back in the mid 80's i recorded it and my kids taped a Video Music Awards Show over it.....I almost didn't have kids anymore when i found out about it..lol.....oh well, at least I can still watch some of it here on youtube....thanks for posting

[boomboxbadboy]

little stevie with the floppy hat.....THE MAYAAN !!!!

[SuperMartin223]

OK, cool to see them all together, but it's kind of like having 5 stars on a basketball team... you spend your time trying not to step on each other's toes instead of doing what you do best. This was better than most all-star jams though.

[timeisnow07]

Wish Stevie was still here with us.

[pmccachren]

Six dislikes! some people just don't get it.

[mlrichards66]

@pmccachren It's funny isn't it? People should try to to click dislike on something they don't even understand. If they don't like Blues, then they won't like this... but I don't think that's the point of the button.

[lowfiwhiteguy]

In the name of the King, the Clapton and the SRV, amen.

[jeremy17405]

Never seen so much energy on a stage!!!

[hungerstriker27]

only 2.24 to 2.42.... i would sell my soul to see a 10 minute long jam between the american master and the british masters.... in presence of their respective masters.... albert king and bb

[hungerstriker27]

that few seconds with srv and eric jamming made megoosebumps.... and albert king and bb....

[EOSRI1]

[erperejildo]

Estadounideses, de la única cosa que os envidio es esta

[boninhuw]

Jizz in my pants!



[DjangoLevee]

This footage was actually smuggled out of heaven.

[gomerpyleism]

Clapton is a "Less is More" kind of a guy....

[tomfong292]

Huh... did they make a mistake or something during Butterfield's solo? He just stopped playing, then keys played, then Chacakacan (whatever her name is) came out... kind of awkward.

[ObamasDrugDealer]

@tomfong292 The beauty of a live performance good sir.

[ObamasDrugDealer]

2:50

Phil's scopin that tail out for after the show!

Holy mother of god! Where is this from. I swear that I would give one kidney just to be there xd

[Gateke3per]

[redhed6971]

They don't make them like this anymore. Rest in Peace Etta, and all the others who have passed on to the next Blues level.

[GreyGuitar123]

[valleygirlknits]

[KcaperPL]

5:02

[MegaBasshero]

[DarkeningSkies1]

What a glorious clusterfuck.

[zoowarboy]

[tizzly]

[bronenalladin]

[deeperwells]

[LisaRock1000]

Tutti i dei del Blues... i 5 minuti spesi meglio della mia vita

All of gods the blues, the 5 minutes spent best of my life.

[shredmaster100]

yeah srv is in the video i only caught a quick glimpse of him but it is rare to see him onstage with all the other great blues players shame he doesnt have a bigger role in the song

[22bluesrocker]

PURE heaven.

[22bluesrocker]

Heaven, pure Heaven.

[barsn11]

when i die im going to the the, perform live (dead)

[Skylismo]

Awesome, AMAZING !!!

[TREDEUCETRL32]

[Danny980223]

Now thats what im talking about! Too bad like 3 people there already died :( rip

[lysisfilms]

Awesome! Legends. Blues heaven yes.

[lysisfilms]

SRV is in this video, wearing a cap, humched over his guitar, left hand side. Look carefully.

[y2k4reel]

Holy shit.

[VoodooChile1985]

SRV and clapton

SRV AND CLAPTON!!

[hammertime4fun]

Okay, I admit...I don't like it, I LOVE IT !!!!!!!!!!!

[skippy3737]

Wow! Bloody cool! I love this.

[DannyIIIvb]

I think god has smiled upon the blues. If there is a "super group" im sure this is classified as such. Clapton is God

[MoBea]

wow, to list them all...<3

[UKToneKing]

MY HEAD JUST EXPLODED 5 TIMES, ON THE 5TH TIME IT EXPLODED INWARDS AND THE EXPANDED INTO A FCKING MUSHROOM OR SIMIT, I THOUGHT SOME ONE HAD DONE A JEDI MIND TRICK ON MY ARS WHEN I SAW THIS, I AM STILL LOOKING INTO THAT, AND LOOKING FOR A SPELL TO REVERS IT, AS I STILL DON'T KNOW HOW THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED WITHOUT THE SOLAR SYSTEM COLLAPSING IN OVER THEN CREATING ANOTHER BIG BANG CAUSING TOTAL MELTDOWN OF THE ENTIRE GALAXY.

[TheMortva]

@UKToneKing i think you want thumbs up...

[2patero]

@UKToneKing LORD HAVE FCKN MERCY!!! BLUES POWER OF APOCALYPTIC PROPORTIONS! THIS LIKE WATCHING THE JUSTICE LEAGUE OR AVENGERS COME TOGETHER! IF ONLY ARETHA, ALBERT COLLINS, JEFF HEALEY AND GARY MOORE WERE THERE...THAT WOULD'VE BROUGHT ABOUT SUPERNOVA! I PRAY THAT YOU RECOVER BRA, BUT THEN AGAIN I'D GLADLY GO OUT TO THIS! PEACE

[agorden14]

5:11 I thought that the trumpet player was dizzy gillespie... but then i realized that he probably would have had a solo and his name probably would have been mentioned.

[SlimSco]

I love youtube!

[tania34030]

uperoho

[rupertveitch]

I agree with just about all the below, but one thing is for sure- I got goose bumps..... :-P

[Bobmoore2000]

2 dislikes must be Justin Bieber fans. Why can;t music today be like this.

[darylstubeable]

Awesome all great performers

[TubeYourTV]

I wanna know why that stage didn't just explode from ALL THAT TALENT??? Shouldn't that have been like the "crossing the streams" thing from Ghostbusters?? That's just too much awesomeness in one place at the same time. The universe should have collapsed or something. I think had I been there in person I would have been blind like looking into a laser or pulled in and crushed by their musical gravity.

[reddhawkk73]

Holy crap on a cracker!!!!!What a great find while I'm sipping my coffe! Thank you for posting!!!!

[rizwantakkhar]

I came here for Stevie. <3

[FreeMilkCampaign]

@rizwantakkhar I came here for all of them.

[fragman08]

@rizwantakkhar BB King for me.

[hectortabe]

Pero... cuando fue esta reunión de Dioses ?

[Pagra101]

0:04 Eric Clapton isn't black

[TaylorGuitarsPlayer]

When was this shot? Looks like it must have been just around the time Paul Butterfield passed away?

[hoganesque]

Albert King is a stone killer on guitar!

[impassable]

I hate these all star jam things..SRV looks really out of place there as does Clapton.

[Existentialexplosion]

@impassable

You're absolutely right.

[dextermcgrubbin]

Billy Ocean- you are the weakest link.

[lucascopin]

No prayers were answered around the world this day, because God was busy watching this, and you can't blame Him.

[MrNevadared]

This is a very old vid Thank you, I remember him when he was young like this. Wow where did the time go . . . .

[HoldenMcgorin7044]

Pay your RESPECT people.

[stratobeghe9]

2 people are fan of justin biebersuck!!!!!

[krustybiker]

This clip should be banned immediately! So much talent in one place has got to be against the laws of nature!

[Bobmoore2000]

I was born in wrong time period. Crap. Wish I could go back in time to this concert. All of my favorite musicians in one concert jamming none stop. Wow.

[WayToGoBrandon]

great that this all can be found on youtube:)

[WATERFOWL3R]

[Imlookinfohunny]

This is what the "music section" of heaven must be like!

[Cozsmik]

I like Phil Collins, Billy Ocean, Gladys Knight and Chaka Khan but they really don't belong on the same stage as BB, Dr John, Paul Butterfield and Albert King. Sorry I forgot SRV can't forget him.

[Cozsmik]

I like Phil Collins, Billy Ocean, Gladys Knight and Chaka Khan but they really don't belong on the same stage as BB, Dr John, Paul Butterfield and Albert King.

[serantes1375]

tranquilos, se juntaban a zapar los pibes, jajaja. CUANTO TALENTO JUNTO !! si hay algo en mi vida que quedara pendiente, es tener la posibilidad de ver algo asi en vivo.....

[truthdefender54]

Nobody noticed that Phil Collins is one of the drummers?

[grzesieksitek]

[NeraRondine]

[Deserek11]

OMFG!  King Vaughan and Clapton in one what i could expect?? only masterpiece!

[Rob777piano]

Wow! What a sensational group of talented musicians. It's artists like this that really know how to bring the music to life!

[asender08]

all of them we will never have this again



[RonCoglianese]

This might be the greatest assembly of talent in history.

[jimmylee123able]

Clapton makes it look so easy

[MultiOldmama]

WOOOOOW,  WOW!!!

[vanhexus]

Wow can I get this in DVD?

[Poolboy0Paul]

[brownbassplayer]

[hungerstriker27]

damn.... if only srv and eric would have the chance to play along in a duel.... when bb says mr eric clapton and stevie ray vaughan... itps a thrill

[RunDuckDuck]

I Imagine this is what heaven would be like.

[theoldlord]

[bigboy1010101able]

@RunDuckDuck agreed

[hungerstriker27]

[XTheFunesX]

When you hear this you can't help but wonder what the hell went wrong these last years.

[sirronald69]

[fabi60441]

5:17

[wilocaust]

epic as fuck

[Gathined]

O_o <3

[del4297]

What a group !!!!! great talents, love BB, he is soooo unique.

[viperdude281]

I would have loved to see Stevie and Mark Knopfler play together. Just to see how their styles would compliment each other

[ThomasDeLello]

You put all the best of them on stage at the same time and it comes out sounding like crap...!

[Jimmyswan2007]

@ThomasDeLello Your hearing must suck.

[FallenQuiet]

Musical Orgy



[1620ADD]

darn dyslexic bastard clicked the thumbs down by mistake.....

[Bluespowerlive]

I thought this was really well done....when you get this much talent on one stage the tend to walk on each other, but these were all pro's except for SRV who walked all over people, particularly Clapton. Except for SRV everyone just laid back and went with it. I can give Stevie some slack because he was the kid who still had a lot to learn....some of it he never did, which id why he will never be considered a great bluesman. Don't get me wrong, he was VERY talented, just not in that way.

[csi2448]

@Bluespowerlive Everyone's entitled to their own opinion...and I may be heavily biased being as I'm a huge Stevie fan. But where in this video does he come in and 'walk all over people'? Is it cause he lets out a huge bend at the end of his solo? I don't want you to take my reply the wrong way, cause I'm not trying to start an argument, I just want to know where you're coming from with your comment.

[TrickyPicky75]

And on bass....... the other guy.... That was EPIC! Look at Eric's grin at 4:56.

[steve1969pierce]

happy happy Stevie

[Mischtchratzer]

this must be heaven on earth.. what ya think ????

[snakeweirdo]

This is too much talent on one stage, everyone are used to being in the front. Therefore it gets to confusing I think.

[sherriffofhongkong]

Albert King is a true original just like BB but they developed at opposite ends

of the blues spectrum and came out to be very individuals...equally great but why there own unique schools of music

Albert King's name should be right up there with the rest!
