Early 80's, strolling around one cold evening in Ottawa, saw this doodle jumping up and down just outside a bar playing a wireless Stratocaster. Grooviest sound coming from inside. We walked in. Meet Albert Collins! Those moments are what make life worth it.
What a fucking LEGEND!! He always put together the most kick-ass bands, and every musician gives him everything they’ve got. Just sounds so so damn gooooddd
I'm thinking of making a music station that pays homage to all the Blues greats from the beginning to present. Anyone want to back me? We'd be hearing Albert Collins, Buddy Guy, Stevie Ray Vaughan and so much more 100%.
Another great live version of the ironically named "Same Old Thing" which apparently is so NOT the same old thing but instead yet another unique flavor of the blues. Inspiring!
I can't stop watching this, it's so damn good! I watch this one and the (giorno) version almost every day. I love that he gives his bass player a long solo, then the trumpet player (who is amazing), and finally his rhythm player gets a solo too which is face melting. This is what music is/was all about!
It's absolutely great. But you watch this every day? As well as the other performance of this song at daytime too? Don't get me wrong, if I could only watch one thing every day, this would be right up there, but come on man, variety is the spice of life and everything.
@@paulgordon6949 As interstellar these full on artists are, I agree . . . variety IS the spice of life . Having said that, ya gotta say that this IS fantastic though :-)
Albert Collins has an intensity - and then a subtlety, those quick pull offs, then crazy vibrato on an Tele that screams- I don't know how you sound like that..I've been playing/listening for over 20 years..it's just part of his body and soul. Regular strat sounds "normal". He knew what he was doing with that stinging bright tone.
That’s because he was using a Telecaster. Gear makes a difference for sure. Different beast. Plus he was probably self-taught and had his own technique.
I’m a Albert Collins fan from early 90’s when my uncle let me listen to his Showdown Album w/Albert , Johnny Copeland and Robert Cray. Wow what a album. Here on Utube not many people know of him. So I been pushing his great wait. GREAT name around. Dec 6, 2023
He was a bad man! Whenever my blues playing seems to be feeling stale I spend a day listening to the Iceman and phrasing automatically gets better and my playing gets more interesting.
HARDEST WORKING MAN ...........PLAYING THE BLUES ............SO VERY COOOOOOL ! albert , u will make us forever smile ......THANK U ...........RERST EASY , BIG MAN .....
I always read the comments from the folks who are veclept by what they've "discovered"...."stumbled" upon. This is just another show band from the '80's........the folks who chime in, in their '60's? who lived it, felt it, have the ticket stubs.......this was THE Show Band to see. Albert went beyond guitar player. He went beyond the old blues........He went beyond, "fans matter". Albert truly presented each and every audience a SHOW. His band helped make that happen. Show Band. Go check out BIG Something for more of the same devotion to fans..... In the meantime, go find Frosty LIVE!
Albert the whole band is all that he bass player was kicking up some serious dust though love Albert though what he brings to the blues his voice playing cant be matched
I am going to look up all of ALBERT COLLINS music I just love his music I wish that he was still alive today getting ready 3 down load all his stuff R I P Mr ALBERT COLLINS
In my opinion he was the best guitar man even better than Eric Clapton. I wish i could just get in to a time machine just to see him playing alive.........
Your loves that,but noting love me,i haven band muzik to parenship albertus And "the ahmad basahil"kom. unikatip so parners ,thank you,,, ,,,,, ,,,, @@$?@@$
yepp one of my all-time heroes, without a doubt! Bought a telecaster because of him, but of course it doesn't have a humbucker in neck position...whatever..it's in the fingers for sure...
Most dont know how monumental this is really!

That's true, that is enough
Saw him in a small club, in the early '80's. Not twenty people there. One of the three best shows I've ever experienced! Force of nature!
Trumpet solo is killer too!buy the band a round! Bravo!
What a fucking LEGEND!! He always put together the most kick-ass bands, and every musician gives him everything they’ve got. Just sounds so so damn gooooddd
and whats great is he gave everyone in the band credit and air time to play.
Right! It's like they all wanted to kill it for him and you can hear that shit! Just awesome!
Sho do!

That bass, man, picks up the tempo mad dog.

11 Minutes of pure Brilliance!

Albert is amazing! The bass player's solo was terrific. Thanks!
❤
Is that a five string instrument?
ГЕНИЙ БЛЮЗА!!!
Epic rendition!
Style unmatched.. until the end of time
Albert Collins one of the undisputed kings of the Blues and what a performance by John Gayden & Steve Howard simply outstanding...
right on

Raw Emotion through his axe!
That trumpet player is really good.
Yassir
Just fantastic!!!! What a band!!!!
IMMORTAL ALBERT COLLINS....
nobody ever will produce harmony like you....you prooved that musik is harmony and sentiment.....
🌸🪴Bad ass bass player indeed! Love the horns too. Great collaboration 💖🪴💘
He was a bad man! Whenever my blues playing seems to be feeling stale I spend a day listening to the Iceman and phrasing automatically gets better and my playing gets more interesting.
Back in Houston in the late 70's, Albert would call me Smokey....I always bugged him for autographs after shows....
Albert is a god amongst mere mortals which really goes without saying but that bass is slammin', man! I'm diggin' what he's throwin' down.
That was totally amazing what a band , Albert we love you
Wow, Albert really had a talented band, all those guys could play!!!!
John Gayden was my favorite bass player back in the 90’s. Incredible player.
Absolutely, the guy is killer. Not being a huge slap fan I dig him.
What a difference having a class bass player. Only the best for Collins, and the brass popping in and out too. Beautiful sound, holy moly.
Yeah, when they play shuffel!
For me, the best bassist in Blues history !
It is Victor Wooten!
Wow 😳 hot lick in kickin track nothing quite like Albert Collins .... band superb ... the bassist ... smokin 🔥
What a beautiful trumpet solo
Unbelievable. Total music, smashing solos, all in it together, and Collins Stellar
Kick ass band, and groove! Ive been a fan since the 80,s!
That tone is second to none🔥🔥🔥
Amazing playing all round, but that bass solo was really great. Don't often hear something like that in a blues.
would love to have seen him and Prince on the same stage.The Godfarther and the Prince of the Telecaster.
RIP "ICE MAN"
HARDEST WORKING MAN ...........PLAYING THE BLUES ............SO VERY COOOOOOL ! albert , u will make us forever smile ......THANK U ...........RERST EASY , BIG MAN .....
Love Albert Collins big influence along with baby Albert and Freddy and Stevie and Jimi thank you all
What a fucking legend
If Eric Clapton is the Master of the Stratocaster, then we are equally assured that Albert Collins was the Master of the Telecaster. RIP😢 Albert!
I don't think anyone said Clapton is the master of the strat.
SMOKIN' MULLET ON THE RHYTHM GUITAR PLAYER!!!
Absolute legend!!
God bless Albert Collins!
Gotta love the horns
Heard it 4 o clock in the morning on sunday 4th advent.
Whatta song to get in the day!🌲☮
Mr Collins, the one and only
what a bass player~~
Johnny "Badass" B. Gayden rulesss
Hi
@@VinnieBlues1 In my oppinion the best bassist of blues ever, Johnny B. Gayden, monster !!!
Funkin' out with Albert.........and his "Icebreakers" (Great name), especially the 'thwacking' bass man.
I always read the comments from the folks who are veclept by what they've "discovered"...."stumbled" upon.

Tears of laughter and joy hearing Frosty at that show

Kickin' them Blues!!! On the highwire!!!
He's higher than an Albert Collins Capo
Beautiful thing

Friggin Awesome!
I have Adventures in Babysitting to thank for being here. Nobody leaves this place without singing the blues!
Collins a su aire, magnífico.
Thank you.
Albert's tone sometimes confuses me is it a guitar or a saxophone! awesome as usual. Thanks for posting. 2020. still getting amazed listening to this.
6.17 I have a feeling that tom morello have watched this was solo thing by mr collins several times
What a fantastic jam. New Subscriber.
Playing em strings like DRUMS love these guys ❤👌🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎶🎼💥💥☝️☝️😎🤸♂️💃🤸♂️
The mullet must give him super guitar powers!
ho avuto la fortuna di vederlo a pistoia blus grandissimo❤
Dude tore that bass a new arse.
Wow. Wow. Wow. ✌
Anyone know the names of his band mates? They are great!
It’s a Texas thang!
🎸❤️
Great job !!
That trumpet player tho
He was almost crying
muy bueno gracias
Talk about some percussive bass!
Always good
Albert is God but I've never seen a rhythm section kill it like that
I didn't know David Hasselhoff is a drummer! A.C. had passion and finesse. He could put together a good band, too.
These hairstyles... double mullets and Albert Collins with a mean bass player etc
Quelle merveille
