The reason these guys are so stoney faced, is because A.K. could be a mean SOB if he didn't feel what you were doing. You can see him shooting glances back at 'em in this song .... Having said that .... They're all burning it down on this one !!!

@naughtmoses we must have been at some of the same shows there. I also saw the Otis show with Eddie Cleanhead Vinson (Kidney Stew!) and Shuggie of course who was not much older than i at the time. I am pretty sure Little Esther Phillips was part of the revue as well. Another show I recall being exceptional was John Hammond Jr. What a cool venue that was.

Albert King was the first live blues show I attended, at the age of 15 at the tiny Ashgrove club on Melrose in Los Angeles.  Great little club that hosted lots of blues at the time (this was 1967 I think).  Saw Howlin' Wolf, Taj Mahal (with Jesse Edwin Davis on guitar), Bukkah White and others there. Being a young guitarist myself I went up to Albert on the break and asked him what kind of strings he used and he told me Black Diamond. A few years later I saw him at a club in Santa Cruz and man was he pissed off. Told a story of earlier that day he and the band rolled into town and went to a coffee shop and were treated rudely there (his words - "They treated us like we were pieces of shit!"). He played a hell of a show that night too!

My favorite bluesman Albert King. He had one of the sweetest tones in the business.

just fab!

Hot natured, Albert King could sweat almost as well as he played that Gibson flying V.  Ask any great blues player where he cut his teeth; he'll tell it was on one of the bones thrown to him by the great Albert King.

An under acknowledged classic ! I swapped an album for this single.

@thehomefront It's legendary concert promoter Bill Graham, who founded the Fillmore venues. He died some years ago in a helicopter crash.

I met Albert in at Parkers Ballroom in Seattle around 1976.  He played thru a solid state  Acoustic Amp with horn that would take your head off.  Which proves that a guitarist's tone is in his fingers.  He sounded great!  Every blues guitarist should play this song.  Listening to Albert it's not hard to hear his influence on SRV.

My weird uncle managed to make the most beautiful pole dancer I’ve ever seen fall in love with him as he cheated by using the Cupid Love System (Google it). It’s bad but I wish I’d been happy for him but I wish an incredible individual would fall for me. I am exceptionally green with envy. Does that mean I’m a terrible person?

3:15 I've never heard that bend played like that!

Yup. Just add together Albert King and Lonnie Mack's styles together, and Voila! You got SRV...

Albert at his peak, playing absolutely flawlessly, with some of the best Stax road musicians (not the MG's this time, but you'd never know it) Not sure who any of the players are, I don't recognize them, but Albert had several different lineups at his fillmore gigs. Absolutely essential stuff...

So this is where SRV Got his vibrato.
