Kirk,lovely classic blues style,Josh the master of taste and experience,wow what a player ,Marcus an untamed stallion of the fret board who will only balance out his technical brilliance and showmanship with a few more miles under his belt,, the future of blues in his hands,, amazing video !Thanks to the poster.
each guitarist has his own voice, and shouldn't be compared with each other! it's like comparing apples with watermelons.....each has his own awesomeness, no one is better than the other, they are all amazing and talented-, they're not trying to compete, they're all getting off on each others groove!!
The thing other than practice that makes players this good, is the constant desire to outplay their idols and competition, you know, just like in any other field of endeavor. Yes I'm a pro so I know.
when it come to straight electric blues... Kirk is the Numero uno! No young gun with all there notes "which I love" will ever come close to Fletcher's feel or passion for that stile of music.... He as good as there's ever been! Maybe the best ever. His Playing just floors me..... Love the other 2 lads to.. But Kirk is king of the Blues! I think most of his colleagues who know what there talking about would agree.. Josh & Marcus are the 2 best blues fusion players i'v ever heard after E.G & J.B.
Marcus = magnificence on a stick Josh = master Sensei Kirk = Captain of the USS Enterprise taking the blues to places no bluesman has been before...and then bringing everyone home safe and sound...
What a masterful performance by all. 78 thumbs down shows why that feature should be done away with by RUclips. Giving this exceedingly sublime musicianship anything other than a thumbs up is ludicrous. If you don't understand or appreciate the pinnacle of blues artistry, or blues music itself, just move on to other videos that you can relate to in a positive way.
Er, I've never said this in 73 years, 60 of which were spent trying to master this instrument (I had a Gibson just like that, color and all): Thank you, Marcus King, for letting us listen to this blues masterpiece, including your amazing blues voice. You're better than Eric Clapton, a hero to me, B.B. King, a hero to every blues enthusiast, but not better than Stevie Ray Vaughn, although you could definitely hold your own with him on stage. Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, and Gary Moore are more rocky, less bluesy; and in their own unique path were unsurpassed; however, again, they didn't play pure blues as Marcus does here. Where is this young man going to end up? Will he surpass Stevie Ray Vaughn? What would that even sound like?
I would give damn near anything to have been in the room for this! Wow! I have been following Josh's career since he was a teenager fronting his own band in the Ft. Lauderdale area. Sooooo much fun to watch how he has evolved over the decades. Kudos to everyone on stage,. KILLER jam!
robert mair I just said he needs to mature some. Be an active listetner, it's the first line of communication (which is what music is) and learning..Get over it...
Spoken like someone who knows fuck all about blues or just a new generation wanker who is desperate to make an example of someone or something who triggers them.
Holy crap! Awesome solos by all, including Marcus King. Not what I was expecting. And the voice - whoooaaaa! He sounds like an extra soulful version of Gregg Allman or something. Really impressive. Definitely keeping my eye on this young guy!
When Marcus plays a solo, it seems his brain is like a computer picking out all the most intricate and most interesting combinations of blues and jazz, simply incredible. He’s so far ahead of everyone else and with such feel.
Who is the best...? who is the badest..? this is the crap our children are learning.. Markus it´s just what he is!! And sounds amazing in his style Richard Luis Regards
I love this video - Marcus has an incredible voice. The guitar playing is just a bonus for me! To share the stage with Josh and Kirk is amazing. Some real talent on that stage!
No you're not. Josh is just a humble man to jam with and he talks with the power of his fingertips. But he and Kirk usually play more rhythm together with people.
DUDE ARE YOU KIDDING?? JOSH AND KIRK ARE EASILY AT THIS CAT'S. LEVEL HE JUST SINGS LIKE JANIS JOPLIN AND JOE COCKER IN ONE AND NEITHER KIRK NOR JOSH REALLY HAVE SINGING VOICES TO SPEAK OF
garrisounds disagree. I don’t think there is any straight licks in Marcus, straight soul and improv, who cares if it’s not traditional, Hendrix, SRV, we’re not traditional blues players.
@@@bubblevest1544 ""we"re not traditional blues players." Jeese, dumbass ---> proof read first before posting! Are you saying "we are...." or "were" ?????
Scumbag Solaire 0 seconds ago One of the performances that introduced me to Kirk. He's got such a hold on the blues, and he's a wonderfully humble man. Thanks for another banger, Anitra!
All great players....Marcus' guitar time sounds like Derek trucks in the this video if you close your eyes. Such a great performance by all of them. Beautiful.
The New Blood representing the Blues that Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, BBKing, Freddie King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Gary Moore, Johnny Winter, Roy Buchanan left us, Rory Gallagher among so many already gone 🎸🎹🥁🎶
Josh's mastery of an impressive range of musical styles gives him a HUGE musical vocabulary which puts his blues playing in an altogether different league - and that's NOT meant to take anything away from these other guys, who also make the short list of present-day Blues Geniuses!
Yup. I wasted a LOT of quality youtube-time at these young fellas. They're all unique in their own way. And Marcus vocals is just killing. No need for comparison - just enjoy these fine musicians spinning off!
I like Josh's technical playing, and Kirk has those nice bb licks. But goddamn, Marcus just stomped on that stage like Godzilla. He has all the technical skills combined with ungodly feel. Oh, and his vocals were OK too. : )
ideath he doesn’t contain half the harmonic knowledge that josh has stored up in those fingers. He can just play fast, throw some 2 5 1s in this Josh would stand out a lot more. And that’s not even putting him or Kirk down, all these kats is killin - Josh is BAD man though
@@Digitalpapii yeah, Marcus repeating too much and playing everything loud. Josh knows how to deliver a better solo! This kid Marcus will be awesome in ten years.
Lol this shit 3 years old, cats clowning people already. Josh was the truth in this mix though. Haven’t seen much of his stuff but was like that cat is on fire. Marcus is the real deal though. Tough to smoke that cat off the stage.

The blues does something to my soul that I can never put it into words. It feels so damn good.
man if you dont like the blues then you just dont get it and never will
These guys are the cream of the crop.. best example of what the blues can be on stage today.
Mostly blues but heads into jazz territory occasionally.

This is music. This is blues. All done by true musicians . listen, and learn . Awesome music.
Learn yourself arsehole
Really?
Is surprises me every time how great Kirk is and even more so, under appreciated.
each guitarist has his own voice, and shouldn't be compared with each other! it's like comparing apples with watermelons.....each has his own awesomeness, no one is better than the other, they are all amazing and talented-, they're not trying to compete, they're all getting off on each others groove!!

Hippie
Watermelons are better
Huge fan of all 3 players. Once again Josh never disappoints!
Josh just lurking in the background doing his thing and then BAM, get some of that!
B.B., Albert, Freddie, Markus…the King's line of greatness continues.
King Fish also plays and sings beautiful...
@@TheEddiez06 I was gonna say the same thing...somethin bout them kings🤯
dont forget Kyngwie
I'm changing my name! 🤣
This one is BaBy King

Oh yeah! Some of today's amazing guitar virtuosos!
If I won the lottery, these 3 along with Derek Trucks and Henrik Freishlader would be headlining a concert in my back garden.
Kirk Fletcher is so badass.
Marcus = magnificence on a stick
Josh = master Sensei
Kirk = Captain of the USS Enterprise taking the blues to places no bluesman has been before...and then bringing everyone home safe and sound...
Your assessment of Kirk made me laugh!!

Jeeeeesus Christ brother, what is what voice?!?!?! First time listening to this guy, and i went nuts instantly. Just outstanding!!
Marcus sings from his music soul
man that solo ripped my face off. ive had to book in for some plastic surgery next week
Marcus King!!! Part of the KING BLUES OF GREATNESS!!!! B.B, FREDDY, & ALBERT are just smiling!!!!!!
Finnali new person who fall in the blues,they got all what need.New wind for me!!!!!!! On the old way!!! MAN !!! Respect all.

Holy shit, the future is safe with this kid.... thanks so much for posting. Wow!
good analysis
Stephan Bennett Kid needs to slow down on his solo..You can tell hrs not a mature player like the other fellas on stage. His phrasing was horrible.
'Guys you guys aren't ready for that yet...but your kids are gonna love it.'
robert mair I just said he needs to mature some. Be an active listetner, it's the first line of communication (which is what music is) and learning..Get over it...
deepsnowgoodtimes I agree..
yeeessss there is hope for the future. With guys like these the blues is safe!!!
Josh seems to be one of the few players out there where every note seems to matter. There is no filler. Just notes that bend your soul!
Spoken like someone who knows fuck all about blues or just a new generation wanker who is desperate to make an example of someone or something who triggers them.
These guys have all brought back the fire in the blues..
Thank you!
First heard marcus singing lonesome fugitive w/ billy strings. Such a great singer and kirk fletcher is amazing as well
Holy crap! Awesome solos by all, including Marcus King. Not what I was expecting. And the voice - whoooaaaa! He sounds like an extra soulful version of Gregg Allman or something. Really impressive. Definitely keeping my eye on this young guy!
Kirks tone blew there's away . It was horn like . Love that sound.
These three are quickly becoming my favorites! LONG LIVE THE BLUES!!
Now THAT'S keeping the blues alive!!! Great video work, Natasha! Thanks!
5:50 Mr smooth Jack Pearson sippin on his cup feelin it with the boys, these guys are just pure soul, such an inspiration.
many thanks Natasha !!! Besides the three great guitarists you have Travis on bass. He is quite as accomplished as his father Larry
Kirk and josh are excellent.... but my god,,, guitar playing and singing both being next level just cant be beat... what a talent..
1AnitrasDance, I can't even imagine how you're getting these best-there-can-be concerts, but I'm so glad you're doing it.
When Marcus plays a solo, it seems his brain is like a computer picking out all the most intricate and most interesting combinations of blues and jazz, simply incredible. He’s so far ahead of everyone else and with such feel.
Well Said !!
Nobody is way ahead of anyone on that stage. You cats are missing it ! You just need to sit down, watch and listen. These fellas are blues insurance.
Again another sensational video!! Marcus King's octave lick at 4:23 grabs me every time!! So good :)
Who is the best...? who is the badest..? this is the crap our children are learning.. Markus it´s just what he is!! And sounds amazing in his style Richard Luis Regards
Met Marcus the last night after the last concert, so sweet baby boy!
Met him in Philly about 3 years ago too🤟🏻great guy
All of them are great but Kirk is just perfect
three masters... just jamming.. love it
I love this video - Marcus has an incredible voice. The guitar playing is just a bonus for me! To share the stage with Josh and Kirk is amazing. Some real talent on that stage!
Man this is my ish cannot wait to see them in Nov your vocals and that Bluesy Blue
Blues has me Nice Nice Nice
So glad I got to shake his hand and let him know how big of an inspiration he was
I wish I could give that 15 thumbs up, i think the 71 people who gave it a down thumb were ignorant techno fans
Am I the only one here who thinks Josh Smith´s solo was the smoking one!? What a solo!! Jayz!
No you're not. Josh is just a humble man to jam with and he talks with the power of his fingertips. But he and Kirk usually play more rhythm together with people.
DUDE ARE YOU KIDDING?? JOSH AND KIRK ARE EASILY AT THIS CAT'S. LEVEL HE JUST SINGS LIKE JANIS JOPLIN AND JOE COCKER IN ONE AND NEITHER KIRK NOR JOSH REALLY HAVE SINGING VOICES TO SPEAK OF
wait...i dont think i was trying to derogate any of em...they all sound amazing to me...ahaha u misunderstood me dude.

I think I had never heard this Marcus King before... such a great singer and player!!! Awesome!!!
So thankful for all of your recordings Natasha... superb quality!
This kids the next "real deal " player. Very soulful.
What an all-star band! Wow!
Josh!!!
Never seen this guy singing before. He's freakin amazing.
Very proud of our Newer Blood!!
Joe B, Josh Smith, Greg Koch, Eric Gayles. Definitely got some talent to take over
And a new blues legend is born.
EnFuego Plays yes indeed 😈
Holy shit! That Marcus King is unbelievable!
Seriously good player...hell yeah! Thanks, Natasha, for providing all the great videos from this cruise.

Best Blues guitarist I have seen in a while, original phrasing and style. Love to see him at crossroads or Bluesfest in Chicago
I think the best today
Warren Haynes second
Wowza! All three players are the bomb 🙂👍🏽
All great players....Marcus' guitar time sounds like Derek trucks in the this video if you close your eyes. Such a great performance by all of them. Beautiful.
3 of the best players alive! Seen them together and apart. Each player could be said to be in the top ten!
Thanks for capturing. Love this guy!
King has got it big time, what a talent!!
Never heard of Marcus King. What talent. Badass.
omg, this was good!!!!!
Been watching @1AnitrasDance's videos for years. So good.
❤❤♥
Josh Smith so Awesome...precise , clean..and unpredictable
Goddamn Marcus's playing is fierce.
Pls keep posting. Amazing vids. Thanks for sharing.
I am in awe at the talent on that stage
The New Blood representing the Blues that Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, BBKing, Freddie King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Gary Moore, Johnny Winter, Roy Buchanan left us, Rory Gallagher among so many already gone 🎸🎹🥁🎶
I love Josh Smith and Kirk Fletcher but Marcus king is an other level
Killer!
Three Legends!!! AWESOME
Great
Holy cow what a voice . the Name says all KING .

Makes it sound like a slide, what a talent!
Nice Nice Nice cannot wait to see you for the 1st time in Nov BLUES and ROCK it out MK
Just GREAT! I LOVE IT
I need to go on one of these cruises. Holy smokes that was awesome.
Man oh man. Can't wait to see the new king at Byron Bluesfest!!!
Great video! I was there!

Amazing talent! I will be watching Marcus King a lot!
thanks for all these, Natasha ;) - blues from Manila
Marcus King you are so legend as a guitar 🎸 player❤❤❤❤
Will go down in the books one day
King's vocals sound like he's the love child of Joe Bonamassa and Janis Joplin - and I mean that as a compliment. Great performance!
Amen!
Warren Haynes and Beth Hart
Kane Miller Mmhmm. A lot of Warren Haynes too.
James Brown and Susan Tedeschi lol
Kane Miller he can play that fiddle a bit too😇
A voice made for blues. Josh is a big guy and he looks small next to Marcus. Big boy! Amazing tone coming out of Marcus’s guitar! Just perfect...
This Kicks ASS!. Holy F'ing Sheet! Amazing.
And that turn-arround at the finishing? Man, blows my mind!
BEASTS
Awesomely awesome!
Man that is smokin' hot blues!!
Thank you so much for this upload.
kirk is a beast!!
