    I met Albert and his girlfriend at a local Laundromat after his show. We were headed home, and I saw his tour bus in the parking lot, me and my friend Mathew went in and talked to him for a few minutes.Some how we got on the subject of drugs, and he said he would fire anybody in his band that used drugs. And he said to me you know why, then he told me Jimi Hendrix gave him a joint one time laced with something, and he said .and man I got so high and I was sweating, and I put ice between my legs and under my arms. And he said he would never do any drugs again. I met him in Winston-Salem NC 1980! Cool story?

    1:22 There it is lurking in the background, that Acoustic amp with the big high frequency horn in the speaker cabinet. He played through this rig every time I saw him. It’s almost impossible to describe to anyone who goes to shows nowadays how loud Albert played on stage. It was glorious. B.B. was great, Freddie was great, but Albert was the King of the Kings in my book. Thank you, The Midnight Special, for posting this.

    Happy 101st birthday to the Velvet Bulldozer, the King of the Blues. Albert King. Mike Bloomfield said Albert King could "take four notes and write a volume." His voice was suave as hell and cut his stinging guitar tone. He was truly the whole package. An inspiration to Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix, Gary Moore and so many others.

      ​@RawKnee1111 - Yeah..I don't understand how he pulled off a lot of those licks strug like that. He was always bending downward. I'm a leftlhanded player too..but I have lefthanded guitars...strung like lefthanded guitars. hehe. When I was a little kid, I had a righthanded guitar, but I strung it and set it up like a lefthanded gutiar. Some of these guys like King and Eric Gales just play righthanded guitar..strung like righthanded guitars. It is so odd to me. As weird as it is, it would be nice to be able to try other ppl's guitars. hehe. Being a lefty absoultely sucks. I can't try other dude's guitars..I can't try thigns at guitar stores...etc. When buying a guitar, it always has to be ordered and it is a huge gamble on if you like it or not. In fact, I paid about 4K to have a guitar made for me..and after waiting 2 years, I got it..and I hate it. But who am I going to sell it to? haha. The lefty market is small.

    Love his style and listen to him lots. Being a guitar player myself, I've always been amazed at how he could play upside down, backwards, not re-strung! His bends were just insane being that he could pull down with gravity instead of pushing up. It's another whole world of study to get into the mindset of all those microtonal bending nuances and subtlety! It mimics the human voice so well. SRV had him down to a science! Awesome smooth singing voice too. Gotta just love the B3 accompaniment filling stuff out, that would inspire anybody to play a smoke and solo over! But Albert was a King of dat business!

    Maaaaaaaaaannn, Albert King is to me the best King to touch a guitar plus he is Left handed just like my other famous Left handed Guitar player you know the one I am talking about! Anyway, Albert was second to none on his blues playing!! 👍🏾👍🏾

      He played a right handed guitar on the left and did not invert the strings. He played upside down. Amazing.

    I had the album featuring this song when this came out. This song absolutely mesmerized me and I still listen to it regularly (and it still deeply moves me). I have never seen this performance and it seems he stretches out with some phrasing on his guitar leads in a way I have never heard (and I listen to AK quite a lot). Thanks for posting!

      The guitar he is playing was a right hand turned upside down, he had one special made left handed with the knobs on bottom like a left handed guitar should be, JB owns it but rarely ever plays it, or even at all. This is Albert’s first Lucy, his second was the special made with his name on it
