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.
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
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%.
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.
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.
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!
Your loves that,but noting love me,i haven band muzik to parenship albertus And "the ahmad basahil"kom. unikatip so parners ,thank you,,, ,,,,, ,,,, @@$?@@$
HARDEST WORKING MAN ...........PLAYING THE BLUES ............SO VERY COOOOOOL ! albert , u will make us forever smile ......THANK U ...........RERST EASY , BIG MAN .....
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.........
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 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!
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
everyone looks like theyre having fun
Albert Collins one of the undisputed kings of the Blues and what a performance by John Gayden & Steve Howard simply outstanding...
right on

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!
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!

Yup. . . his other guitarist KILLED with that solo toward the end. . . to follow that. . . took a confident, and competent axe man. . . NICE!
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.
Trumpet solo is killer too!buy the band a round! Bravo!
11 Minutes of pure Brilliance!

Raw Emotion through his axe!
Style unmatched.. until the end of time

ГЕНИЙ БЛЮЗА!!!
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!
Love Albert Collins big influence along with baby Albert and Freddy and Stevie and Jimi thank you all
Epic rendition!
That tone is second to none🔥🔥🔥
SMOKIN' MULLET ON THE RHYTHM GUITAR PLAYER!!!
IMMORTAL ALBERT COLLINS....

Oh man...a treat to your soul like NO OTHER,my favorite by far,congratulations for discovering him...never forgotten
Back in Houston in the late 70's, Albert would call me Smokey....I always bugged him for autographs after shows....
Dec 6, 2023. Come on . Crank it up
What a fucking legend
Gotta love the horns
That trumpet player is really good.
Yassir
God bless Albert Collins!
Funkin' out with Albert.........and his "Icebreakers" (Great name), especially the 'thwacking' bass man.
So damn good !!! Can’t get enough of that loud beat and that Telecaster 😍
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
RIP "ICE MAN"
Good jams! Good sound recording.
Incredible man and band.
💎The Ice Man💎
Good god… I think my ASA is going to be bumping and pumping and doing it’s thang Al night long after hearing this tonight!!
what a bass player~~
Johnny "Badass" B. Gayden rulesss
Hi
@@VinnieBlues1 In my oppinion the best bassist of blues ever, Johnny B. Gayden, monster !!!
Pete Thoennes à la guitare. Excellent !
4ever music.....All of them great musicians in perfect harmony and chemistry.
I always read the comments from the folks who are veclept by what they've "discovered"...."stumbled" upon.

In the meantime, go find Frosty LIVE!
Tears of laughter and joy hearing Frosty at that show
Sweet, Tight, Steady, Drivin,’ Man, simply put....Magnificent! Real musicians illustrating shear talent. Kudos Dynamic!!!! Musician/Artist USA- ThomMeinert
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.
Wow !!!! that was amazing , what a band loved it
This song "same old..." with albert collins and ice brakers ....i think it is what best we ever heard...a non clisse sound....
Beautiful thing
PERFECT
Один из лучших гитаристов в мире, и мой любимый!!!
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...
What a giant.
Always good
Why did US Media and Artists not discover him? Really interesting.
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.
Impresionante.....
Albert looks like one of those gentlemen you would smoke with and have a cold beer with after a long work week.
ho avuto la fortuna di vederlo a pistoia blus grandissimo❤
Quelle merveille
Maestro total querido , siento un amor muy grande por su música .❤🎸
I have Adventures in Babysitting to thank for being here. Nobody leaves this place without singing the blues!
Wow. Wow. Wow. ✌
Kickin' them Blues!!! On the highwire!!!
