How awesome a privilege it must have been for Gary to be on stage with these two powerful blues legends both with the most unique styles of playing ever. Unbeatable.
I learn something new, or maybe feel something new, every time I watch this. My first impression was Gary overplays, King underplays, and Collins nails it as always. Now I understand that Gary was a kid in a candy shop, completely possessed by the music, on stage with his heroes, with a thousand ideas in his head. I don’t think he intentionally overplayed; he just succumbed emotionally to the moment with his full arsenal of aggressive licks. Albert King seemed to be searching for notes at times; he was low in the mix, and maybe in the monitors. But man, that guy could swing, and listen to those signature huge bends that later turn up in Stevie Ray Vaughn’s stuff. Albert Collins? What can I say? The Iceman has the best tone, phrasing, dynamics, positive energy and showmanship of any blues guitarist, bar none. Those who had the privilege to see him live (for me, Slim’s in San Francisco in the 1990s) know what I’m talking about. When that guitar tone hits you, the sharp clusters of notes and the searing sustain, it’s like being struck by lightning while being shot out of a cannon, while a giant hand crushes you into a vat of ice water.
Well said. 30 years ago or so give or take 5 years either way I saw Albert at the old TIpitinas in New Orleans and he jumped off the stage and played his whole last solo in my face while we laughed and danced. I told this story tonight to his longtime saxman JON SMITH who is now performing together with me in South Louisiana. Jon loved Albert and Albert loved Jon. I'm in heaven if only for a little while enjoying Jon as much as Albert did. And yes nobody can touch Albert, Jon told a great story tonight about ROBIN FORD coming to sit in with them and Robin played this masterful long solo that was perfect, Albert then played 1 note for a couple of minutes that was better than anyone on the planet. Robin smiling ear to ear whispered in Johns ear, a lot of good all that fancy playing did just now, I should have just kept my guitar in the case. Great thing was Albert was only keeping it real and doing what the song needed, When we taKe our egos out of the song we are always much more authentic, Albert oozed humility.

WOW! Gary with 2 of my heros. King used to say Gary & S.R.V. we're his 2 favorite young players. He thought they were the best of the bunch. What can u say about the Iceman?!!! I worship that man! Folks that met him (I envy you) say that he could make you feel like you were his best friend! GOD BLESS YOU ALBERT COLLINS!!
Albert King was essentially my mentor. Lucky to have seen his birthday celebration at Ethel's Cocktail Lounge in Detroit circa 1980. I am sure we were the first white folk ever to set foot in this establishment but we were treated like family and fed a FREE soulfood supper to boot! Also got to plat Albert Collins' guitar at the Soup Kitchen Saloon in Detroit a few years later! I consider myself doubly blessed!!!
Albert King has always been one of my favorites. Miss him a lot. Thank god for all types of recordings. And no I'm not saying he is better than the others, just that I really like him, so don't jump on me.
Some say "less can be more" I've always have subscribed to Gary Moore's theory,if less is more just think of how much more,"more"is! Great minds think alike !
This is from a VHS I used to own that I also found 'unofficially' on DVD. GREAT LIVE BLUES. Gary teams with Albert Collins and Albert King on this show and the STUDIO CD, 'STILL GOT THE BLUES', CIRCA 1990. TURN IT UP!
Meat Albert Collins at a guitar show that I was set up at selling.We hung for a while then we just got on with things after he signed a Strat for me we shared a warm hand shake & that was that .Albert died shortly after that.Sadly my buddy who bought the strat buffed the signature off.Guess he was not a fan of "The Iceman.". Oops 😬
Epic performance! I'd love to know if this whole concert was filmed and recorded! They played 21 songs (including Oh Pretty Woman twice, the 2nd time with Albert King), but only 12 songs were on the CD and VHS.
It was a movie on VHS. I keep hoping they'll re-release it on Blu Ray. I can't remember what the movie was called though. RIP three legendary blues masters!
@@precisionbrown6829 I don't think it was the whole concert on CD and VHS. It was only 12 songs, but they actually played 21 songs. I'd love to know if the whole show was recorded and filmed!!!
Gary is Gary, was he over playing? yes. Was it still good? yes. Who's the best? Albert King. Why? Albert said so and he told Gary to slow down. When Albert tells you what to do, you do it.
You have the unmitigated gall to tell ALBERT COLLINS what he should do You my friend don't know your elbow from your anus. Mr. Collins puts more soul into playing just one note than Gary Morre has in his entire thousand notes a minute repertoire.
@@drharmonica I actually said could not he should have so don’t give me bull shit. Next time I’ll fart in your face raising a fist in victory using my elbow. He has soul yes. So does Garry.
Gary Moor was a modern guitar shredder. He'll play 40 notes where King and Collins realize that often 4 notes often say more than 40. The new modern guitar guys haven't learned that the space between the notes is often more important than the notes themselves.
It could also be said that the old timers never learned that there were more than 1 tone, 1 scale, and a half dozen licks. Ultimately, there's no need to deride either type of player simply because they do things differently than what you think is better.
Hard to believe...all three have left this realm...
I was there. A night to remember
I love how Gary and Albert Collins looking at each other in any video :D so cute :d
How awesome a privilege it must have been for Gary to be on stage with these two powerful blues legends both with the most unique styles of playing ever. Unbeatable.
Amen
Gary is a legend as well . they were so cool together.
Feelin’ Blessed to have seen these Idols…
R.I.P Gary, Albert K. and Albert C. The show has sadly come to an end
They’ll never be anything near them again 💔
their music is forever
Meglio morti vivi che vivi ma morti
Wow.... Gary the best
Three guitars playing that intro and outro riff with all the tonality of a full horn section!
BackToTheBlues horns were great 👍
Damn I love Albert king he bent those strings like a nut sounded so good
Blues maybe, music, but its a feeling to .
I still get the biggest kick out of this video. Three of the best that ever picked up a guitar that just happen to 3 of my favorites..
juste génial !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love the Music 💙💙🎸🎤💙🌟💙🌟💙🌟💙💙🌟💙🌟💙🌟💙🌟🌟💙🌟
one of the greatest performances that i've ever seen in my life, my their souls rest in peace, and their music live for ever
Gary❤ killer
Love albert collins' I ain't drunk, I'm just drinkin' ".My mantra ;)
I'll be drinking a Tom Collins, John Collins, and Joan Collins.
belliose lol cute
Gary Moore was the most outstanding player in my era and probably the best player I’ve ever seen and heard. Makes me wanna put my guitar down
Best Caladonia I've heard in a long time

Ha...you nailed it about Albert Collins. He takes no prisoners.
I agree. A.King was way too low in mix. Gary was overplaying a bit, but as you said it's from sheer exuberance. A.Collins is in top form (as usual.)
Well said. ONE NOTE and you know it’s AC!

That was GREAT!!!!!!!
Gary M was in a different universe
Tele vs Les Paul interesting mix
Totally rocks that song ⭐️
Albert King has always been one of my favorites. Miss him a lot. Thank god for all types of recordings. And no I'm not saying he is better than the others, just that I really like him, so don't jump on me.
tootz1950 You like what pleases your ears. You don't have to explain it.. I like all 3 of them.
Albert King must be the favorite of a lot of people or he wouldn't be on that stage with Moore and Collins.😃
All 3 are Unique in their Abilities ... They are all Great! Legends ... RIP 🙏❤️🔥
La fougue de Gary était fantastique! RIP Gary!!!
Gary est l'un des meilleurs pour moi. Suivant les morceaux il me tire les larmes. Le Dieu de la Gibson les Paul
Some people think Gary over plays at times. I disagree that Gary ever does too much. I think Moore is always better!
U forget ur med's this mornin bro
Some say "less can be more" I've always have subscribed to Gary Moore's theory,if less is more just think of how much more,"more"is! Great minds think alike !
He overplays at times.
This kicks ass! Pardon my French!
“Nobody gets out of here till they sing the blues”
no body can touch Gary Moore
We all miss you . RIP
AIN’T NUTHIN’ BUT THE BLUES !
WOW. WOW

Adrian Andersson there's a CD with the whole concert 1990

albert king and albert collins could play 3 notes and reach my soul while gary could play very fast 1000 notes and doesn t touch me at all
sheeeiiii--- wow
Man. Jamming is what its all about. Check out youtube Albert Collins and Rory Gallagher Funk Jam. You won't be disappointed!
GOOD GOOPITY GOOP 💥💥💥💥💥
It lookek like Albert King broke a string but he was still kicking some serious butt.
Greg Hardy I’ve broken strings live. You gotta work around or just go with it. There’s 5 more strings
Is Gary Moore playing the famous Peter Green Les Paul in this video?
TracyFClark yes he is!
Absolutely 👍
Check out the original version of this song by Louis Jordan.
M F Good
Gary Moore just can't compete with the two Alberts
Yeah he’s kind of annoying In this
@@mattfuller4307 Yes, like a bug. Everytime I was ready to hear the Albert's he came flying in. Reallying annoying.
👍👍💥💥💜💜🌈🌈🙏🙏😇😇
Gary is Gary, was he over playing? yes. Was it still good? yes. Who's the best? Albert King. Why? Albert said so and he told Gary to slow down. When Albert tells you what to do, you do it.
Some say "less can be more" I've always have subscribed to Gary Moore's theory,if less is more just think of how much more,"more"is!
Gary had his unique style, expressing his emotions by putting guitar to the limits and I like it that way... For me, Gary was one of the best ever..
3:22-3:35 fack ❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️
minuto 3:40 finisce il circo e comincia il blues !
Che invidia quelli che dicono: I was here😂
why dont my tele sound like that?
HAHAHA! Right???
I feel you my friend
Nobody’s does
Gary Moore blues on steroides.
cocaine...
Gary Moore always gets too flashy lol
wisesatyr72 you gotta be kidding! Gary Moore was the best. Now I feel that way about
Jeff Beck
Gary Moore kicks ass here albert could have Re tuned his guitar
You have the unmitigated gall to tell ALBERT COLLINS what he should do You my friend don't know your elbow from your anus. Mr. Collins puts more soul into playing just one note than Gary Morre has in his entire thousand notes a minute repertoire.
@@drharmonica I actually said could not he should have so don’t give me bull shit. Next time I’ll fart in your face raising a fist in victory using my elbow. He has soul yes. So does Garry.
Seems like he plays bluesier when he plays rock than when he plays blues, quite oddly.
Albert king’s amp is too quiet up there
kf
Sorry but I think Collins didn’t understand the word “forte”
He thought he did
albert collins looks like snoop dogg
SORRY KING!
Edward Guide all of them are gone. Collins was great
Nobody likes a showoff.Respect your elders!
@ andre deandre I bet their guitar sounds better than your guitar and I bet they play better than you.
Great guitarists, poor English !!
Pity he wasn’t called Albert Moore
Pip Pipster or Gary Collins lol
The old guard is not on Gary's technical level. They don't do certain things because they can't.
Albert King needs time to boil. Gary Moore sounds like he did these guys a favor. It was your privilege to play with them.
Gary Moor was a modern guitar shredder. He'll play 40 notes where King and Collins realize that often 4 notes often say more than 40. The new modern guitar guys haven't learned that the space between the notes is often more important than the notes themselves.
you mean like ed sheeran lol.
Gary Moore was absolutely amazing guitarist with amazing licks and skills...
It could also be said that the old timers never learned that there were more than 1 tone, 1 scale, and a half dozen licks. Ultimately, there's no need to deride either type of player simply because they do things differently than what you think is better.
