He sure moved like Gatemouth, but he's so young here I didn't recognize him. Plus no firebird. What TV show was this? We didn't have color until 1972 lol.
To me Freddie King was the man! Blues guitar, singer extraordinaire/genius. The man could play just one single note and made it sound like magic! I love Freddie's music. I play a lot of his music on my guitar. I owe him. Found out that Billy Cox is playing on this video. Another great one! Long live their music!
For the ppl that gave this video a thumbs down don’t realize their guitars heroes learned their licks from Freddie,BB,Albert King.these guitarists were innovators not copiers
He died so young and before his career really began to take off. Signed a big record deal that would have made him but he died of a heart attack right after the deal was done
Thumbs down there because they didn't leave for the 70s man if you went through the 70s man you have respect for some of that s*** you got you don't know what nothing is why is the world coming to do now I know I'm getting old but Freddie King is a cool cat with the smooth groove on the RUclips so be cool like a cucumber in the shade and dig it like a spade in the garden
I use to see Freddie King at the Armadillo World Headquarters in Austin Texas 2 or 3 times a year and man he was great, RIP Freddie , great , great artist The Texas Cannonball
Freddie King is for people who judge with all five senses. Musical prowess unmatched by most everyone. And go go dancability unmatched by most any artist
@@richardread8281 Can’t believe everything you read Richard. They were a successful band for 3 years when NOEL left. He and Jimi started to clash in the studio which didn’t help the situation. That’s when Noel decided to leave the band and join his band Fat Mattress full time. In addition, Jimi had promised Billy Cox that he would send for him years before. That was the perfect time to call his old Army buddy to join the band as Noel’s replacement. Have a nice day and Happy New Year Richard!
FYI - The studio 45 is very different and worth a listen, too: fewer ripping blues licks, more repetitive riff-based verses. It's off his all-instrumental album "Let's Hide Away and Dance Away with Freddy King." The album's more famous songs are "Hideaway" and "The Stumble."
I used to play guitar around Dallas. One of my local heroes was sitting in with my band and my singer told him that I stole one of his licks. He said "cool, which one?" I played it and he laughed and said "oh, I stole that from Bugs (Henderson)." And I'm pretty sure he got it from Freddie.
Am I the only one amazed by the fact he can get such vibrato while wearing his guitar so awkwardly? I would always feel like I was gonna drop it if I had my strap that way.

One of the most influential electric guitar players in history!
Billy Cox on bass. And Gatemouth Brown on that Rickenbacker rhythm guitar 😉
wow t/u
He sure moved like Gatemouth, but he's so young here I didn't recognize him. Plus no firebird. What TV show was this? We didn't have color until 1972 lol.
Oh damn that is Billy!!!
This was played as the exit music at my Dad's funeral last year. Except no-one left, they were too busy enjoying listening to this master at work!
When Eric Clapton heard Freddie King play he said " Now that's proper guitar playing ".
Strange Brew must've been inspired by this track
Hendrix asked to play with King and he said, "Boy, wait a few more years ..."
Boy, you still aren't over your bedtime stories.@@Rodrigo-ej5wb
RIP Freddie King (September 3, 1934 - December 28, 1976), aged 42
You will always be remembered as a legend.
His groove is so insanely good. Every note hits so hard
15 people that gave this video a thumbs down came here looking for their missing soul and left before they could find it
To zapewne znawcy bambusowego hip-hopu
Nor could they tell the difference between their ass and a hole in the wall. Freddie was a f*cking genius. Inspires me to this moment
HAHAHA!!!! Oh that's good!!!
Wish I could like this comment twice👍👍
They never had one
I want a playlist of whatever else they thumbed down.
I've watched this literally hundreds of times now and it still gets me. Go Freddie.
He is so damn good that it hurts. Love the man!
That groove is absolutely killer man. Freddie absolutely killed it out there and did it in only 2 and a half minutes. What a legend
To me Freddie King was the man! Blues guitar, singer extraordinaire/genius. The man could play just one single note and made it sound like magic! I love Freddie's music. I play a lot of his music on my guitar. I owe him. Found out that Billy Cox is playing on this video. Another great one! Long live their music!
Great music! No dought he just has something in music that will last forever! what a compliment he made to guitar and great music
Not to mention Gatemouth Brown on rhythm guitar 😊
This is one of the coolest, hip blues videos ever! Freddie King was the master who influenced everyone. Such command, finesse, and great phrasing.
Even God Loved Him!
Imagine! I once saw Freddie open for ZZ Top! My favorite King!
what year? sounds awesome! I thought seeing the black crowes open for ZZ Top was a great combo but wow, that's way better!
For the ppl that gave this video a thumbs down don’t realize their guitars heroes learned their licks from Freddie,BB,Albert King.these guitarists were innovators not copiers
Freddie is one of THE three Kings. I love him and still listen to his music regularly.
The best of the “Three Kings” IMHO
If there is music in heaven, this is on the set list.
If not, then it's false advertising...
Billy Cox on bass!
+curtisingy Nope. Lol...doesn't look much like him. Probably Harold Brown.
+barthur08 I stand corrected...it is Billy Cox
nope
HE IS!!!! AND KILLING IT. if you watch sittin on a boat dock you can see he`s face better
@@sagesavante3723 ya who wouldnt right
Such a cool ass dude on a cool ass show ,with a bad ass band ,Freddie the King ...
Grande Freddie King um mestre e um grande Bluesman jamais será esquecido .Obrigado
Freddy was such a powerful force definitely a king and so sad that he was taken at such a young age
This man is soooo underrated
He is not underrated xD He is already one of the three kings of blues
He died so young and before his career really began to take off. Signed a big record deal that would have made him but he died of a heart attack right after the deal was done
Go-Go dancers and everything.
King is an appropriate name for this " ANOTHER KING OF THE BLUES ".
Freddie takes a back seat to no one, no guitar player. Ever.
Gatemouth Brown in the back up band!!!
Clarence LEADING the house band
One note and you know exactly who it is with your eyes closed.I’d say that’s pretty legendary to have that much nuance and expression in your playing.
Thumbs down there because they didn't leave for the 70s man if you went through the 70s man you have respect for some of that s*** you got you don't know what nothing is why is the world coming to do now I know I'm getting old but Freddie King is a cool cat with the smooth groove on the RUclips so be cool like a cucumber in the shade and dig it like a spade in the garden

The great Freddie King who sadly left us way too soon.
Best blues guitarist ever lived ....bold statement i know, but true.....oh yeah what a voice!!!
Freddie king is badass! Texas legend....
The "Texas Cannonball "
Freddie was so gifted and I love the way he shared it with us.

Yessss!!! who's here in 2022.
One of the best ever! There will never be another Freddie King ❤️👍🎸
Absolute Killer
Freddie King is for people who judge with all five senses. Musical prowess unmatched by most everyone. And go go dancability unmatched by most any artist
Just realized I need a horn section and dancers in my band.
And Billy Cox on bass.
love horn sections......
One of the greatest playing one of his greatest.
Clearly one of Jerry's biggest influences.
Whenever I need a smile, i just watch this performance. It's just too much,
IN-CREDIBLE!
King of all the bluse Kings!! Love those squriming dancers..
Creepy
Que estilo!!! Que som!!! Que banda!!! 🇧🇷
My baby watchs this every single day.
So much better than any contemporary blues act out there.
Billy Cox on bass! He got the call from Jimi Hendrix not long after!
Better late than NEVER!!!!
Yes because Hendrix was told to get rid of the white people and bring in black people.
@@richardread8281 If you believe that you are a FOOL! NOEL Redding left to join his own band Fat Mattress full time!
@@JHENDRIXROCSJust saying what I read in an article some years ago. Keep calm !

"his hands made two of mine, his heart beat right on time>,,,,,,,,
Freddie king was so fucking good man
Cats & Kittens with so much style
Where was this show when I was a kid! Thanks for sharing!
His playing was legendary but his singing ......... man ___ a sweet beautiful vocalist most if not all did not have

My favorite lick is at 1:21
Fantastic historical video.
Now that's guitar playing! So sad to have lost Freddie so young. The road makes you pay...
Great!I like Snooks Eaglin version❤
My dad loves Freddie King’s music. Was surprised there were videos of him performing.
Top 5 guitarist ever imo
Real King
My absolute fave blues guy!
fun just to watch him play :)
Just one of the great KINGS
That was a great song
big daddy legendary badass
The great Clarence 'Gatemouth' Brown on the blonde Rickenbacker, behind Freddie.
Woop 🎸🔮🌌🌟
408 represent
I am one his greatest fans!
Great job! And it is nice to see the high school girls dancing in this one.
one of the best to ever do it!
That vibrato - ooof
Freddy Kings the best!
talent
He makes that guitar look like a toy.
And plays like
Thats where I got my name!
the before winter and vaughn, there was this cat
WOW!
The real deal!!!!!
The Best.. fantastic 😀
I used to play guitar around Dallas. One of my local heroes was sitting in with my band and my singer told him that I stole one of his licks. He said "cool, which one?"
I played it and he laughed and said "oh, I stole that from Bugs (Henderson)."
And I'm pretty sure he got it from Freddie.
SO COOL!
This is what we want.
I feel terrible for Freddie King, who died at such an early age was very sad
Class act👍🇺🇸
Awesome! Slower but funky.
Am I the only one amazed by the fact he can get such vibrato while wearing his guitar so awkwardly? I would always feel like I was gonna drop it if I had my strap that way.
John Lee Hooker also had his guitar strap on one shoulder as well haha they didn't give a fuck apparently
B. B. did the same thing 😉
Lovin' it
I wonder if Billy Cox discussed with Jimi Hendrix about this performance!
Go right ahead man…
Just like with food the tastiest licks can be the simplest
👍👍
That's when you reach the level of ultimate and untouchable. No wonder people still try to copy him, 50 years later.
koooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooollllllllll
Cool
holly shit that was good
