Such a unique style, plucked with his fingers, incredible tone, high energy, he really cooked live and wrung you out in the process. He could hold his own with anybody on any stage. A one of a kind talent. I never missed a show his in San Diego for years. My favorite blues player of all time!🙌🏻🙌🏻🍎
Went to Aragon Ball room to see Robert Cray Band, Albert Collins opened, I new a few of his songs, Dirty dishes was my favorite at the time. He went all the way up to the top rows of the room playing up and back. Real up close, awesome picking all the way up and down. Never forget that night. Wish I would seen him in person again.
The word unique was invented for albert collins. There can't be another. Originality oozing out with every lick. Just needs to sling that axe on his right shoulder, and shoot from the hip - magic.
It's like Albert had a pet tiger in his guitar, and he would calmly wrestle it in front of us, and made this completely individual groove. Love you Ice Man
I dont know much if anything about playing guitar. I have been listening to the blues since about '82 and learned early on that you could recognize guitarists by their tone. My brother who was a guitar player until his passing, was happy that at least I learned I could pick out all the guitarists by their tone. There is no one as unique as Albert Collins. I saw him in Salt Lake City back during this time - about 1983. Had at least 100+ foot cord on his guitar and walked out of the bar into the middle of the street. It was superb showmanship
Love ya Ice Man💎 He was so kind and humble. His band & shows were incredible! walking around playing he would just walk out the venue playing outside and everyone followed. Hard to put into words how much talent & fun this man & his band were. I still have all their autographs. Miss him. 🌹
Love the Master of the Telecaster. Excuse the language but this man is fucking brilliant and so is the backing band. Thank God for the Blues it keeps me sane
James Eades yeah some of that lightning hopkins gene pool a lot of good guitar and keyboard player's came out and still being produced from that bloodline
This great song was written by the brilliant songwriter Jessie Mae Robinson who died when she was only 48 years old. The song could not be in better hands, than the divine hands of the undisputed Master of the Telecaster, guitar and blues legend Albert Collins, who also died far too early when he was 61 years old. RIP and Thx Jessie & Albert - your beautiful music lives forever.
I saw B king 24 times and loved him every time I saw him even tell the end,also saw Collins and Albert king,but was to immature to realize i was seeing other greats of all time,wish I had paid attention
Albert Collins, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Buddy Guy, didn't have to say anything in the mic, their guitar did it for them the way they played that thing, wow!
I saw him one time in '88, I think, or maybe '89 at Antone's in Austin (the original one, the only one at the time, on Guadalupe), and it was incredible, something never matched again my whole life. I was a student and lived nearby at the time, and I was only there on a pure lark. My late uncle Rocky Hill knew him well, and he played on one of Rocky's albums, but that one concert was my only personal experience with him.
I was backstage in one of his concert in Toulouse France in 80'. Juste before begining he left the stage to a bar room next to the stage to take a drink... suddenly he began to play in silent way.. But the sound reached the public... it was unrealistic ... we were watching him in a room and listening him in other room ... Merci beaucoup albert Collins
Looks like he's tuned to a minor as i said instead of open F#m tuning. It is open however but an F. Looks like a capo. I've seen him use capo's a lot but I've never sat down to listen to exactly what he's doing. I'm sure anyone who studies his style knows. Maybe it is an open tuning. I jjuts looked this up. I don't see the F sharp: "In other words, when he played all of his open strings, he sounded an F minor chord. So his strings from low to high were as follows: F-C-F-Ab-C-F" .
one of the greats in really fine form during this performance - a master of the slow blues like few others...both guitar and vocal!! Love the 'unpolished' feel and sound of his band in this gig - sounds real.
The Iceman ! I was lucky enough to see him perform 2X ( Had a drink with him between sets a Phoenix Hill Tavern in Louisville, and got to see both he and Albert King a couple of years before at Rockefeller's in Houston. One of the all time greats !
I MET ALBERT COLLINS IN TUNG TING PARKING LOT IN CENTERPORT LONG ISLAND NY BEFORE ONE OF HIS SHOWS IN HUNTINGTON WHICH IS NOW THE PARAMOUNT A GREAT VENUE FOR MUSIC OF ALL GENRES ….

I've got a cold, cold feelin; It's just like ice around my heart I've got a cold, cold feelin; It's just like ice around my heart I know I'm gonna' quit somebody, every time that, feelin'starts You treat me like a prisoner, because my hands are tied Everything you do to me, is stackin' up inside It's a cold, cold feelin' Yea, You're just like ice around my heart I know I'm gonna' quit somebody, every time that, feelin'starts There's a change in me baby, once I was blind but now I can see There's a change in me baby, once I was blind but now I can see I'm gonna' put everybody down baby That ever made a fool outta me
Seen him in Boston at the channel.shook his hand .said he tuned to Minor .my ex wife was sitting on his lap.then someone came whispered in his ear,and he said"gotta take care business"
Stratocaster or telecaster…, wow this is awesome, just as Blues is in all categories.... joining BB King, or any other Peter Green or .. you just could go on naming them .--- Well Ok it would be the Sibelius violin concerto to name one - my favorite!
And now I own a telecaster! I saw him again in bunrattys,brighton.but I was drinking,started to get the spins so went to shithouse,almost puked but didn't,must of been an hour later or two,bouncer said get the fuck out,.so I did caught the last 5 minutes of show.with Albert in middle of crowd with a 100 foot guitar chord fuckin screaming out leads then the show was over.then went to Riley's roast beef chowed down and about 10 minutes later ,puked all over sidewalk as some people came around the corner.a most memorable night indeed
Wow, a band full of blues masters. Damn, rock me on down, hey now! Damn they are good. Rocking back and forth like it's an involuntary reaction, yeah. He is so good on the guitar and that sax man is awesome also.
@Connie Neu, in fact SRV paid tribute to Collins by playing Collins Shuffle pretty often.. For example the first known video of him is him playing Collins Shuffle at Tornado Jam in '80. And later in '82 it was the last song he played at Montreux.. and many more great performances..
There are so many people that don’t know about this great musician. We must spread the word because if people heard this, they’d love it.
Agreed. This outright garbage that passes for music today is shameful. BTW, those that want to refute what I said, go ahead. I said what I had to say.
He's very well known and respected in blues circles.
Albert Collins was one of the Greatest Blues guitarists that ever lived.
The greatest.
Yup!!
Absolutely 🎉
You must know litter about blues
Your not wrong 😎
I drive semi and every time I pass by Leona Texas on 45 I know who's from there a slick guitar player, rip Albert Collins
💗 💖 💘 💝 💟 ☮️
Hand Salute Albert as u roll by
Such a unique style, plucked with his fingers, incredible tone, high energy, he really cooked live and wrung you out in the process. He could hold his own with anybody on any stage. A one of a kind talent. I never missed a show his in San Diego for years. My favorite blues player of all time!🙌🏻🙌🏻🍎

Master of the telecaster.
It's like Albert had a pet tiger in his guitar, and he would calmly wrestle it in front of us, and made this completely individual groove. Love you Ice Man
I grew up on this man!! My Dad’s favorite
Nop
your Dad knows his stuff
The whole band is so tight here, Eargasms

It's unique stuff like that that I love. Someone's playing Is always unique, but it's how they present it that sets them apart.
I know a lot about guitars 😂and your comment is absolutely right & true 🥳🤩👌🤗 his style and bravado remind me of j. Guitar Watson
Love ya Ice Man💎 He was so kind and humble. His band & shows were incredible! walking around playing he would just walk out the venue playing outside and everyone followed. Hard to put into words how much talent & fun this man & his band were. I still have all their autographs. Miss him. 🌹
Hello Sher how are you doing hope you’re having a great time with your family may God bless you and your family
I wish I could find something in this world that make me feel the way it looks like Albert Collins feels playing something like this
Receive Jesus Christ as Lord if your life. Greatest feeling you will have is Eternal Life!
This NEVER gets old....
a master blaster with a telecaster I hope our youth takes note of this exemplary soul master with his telecaster
they were so hypnotized by his awesome playing they didn't even notice the giant fly in the room
I saw him in the 80's. that guitar cut right through your soul everytime he hit it,. you cant even explain it.
)
so true
Fender power baby
Love the Master of the Telecaster. Excuse the language but this man
is fucking brilliant and so is the backing band. Thank God for the Blues
it keeps me sane

James Eades yeah some of that lightning hopkins gene pool a lot of good guitar and keyboard player's came out and still being produced from that bloodline
Amen.
YES !
💗 💖 💘 💝 💟 ☮️
love this man ....his guitar speaks much volume with his words...speak on...love you....R.I.P
I was lucky enough to see Albert Collins in concert in Moscow, Idaho back in the late 80’s. What a great show he put on. RIP ALBERT COLLINS!!
Bravo mille fois 👍 ca c'est la vraie Musique merci mille fois ✌️
This dude just pisses the blues. One of the purest blues players ever
This great song was written by the brilliant songwriter Jessie Mae Robinson who died when she was only 48 years old.

ALBERT COLLINS MAKES YOU FEEL THE BLUES IN YOUR HEART NATURALLY
That tone kicks you in the teeth and then you want another kick soon after
Mack Williams 😂
And then you say thank you after that first and second kick, baby!
💗 💖 💘 💝 💟 ☮️
Through my headphones-incredible guitar tone, even for a Telecaster. Such passion and power, burned out too soon. Glad we have this WDR performance.
That's the baddest ASS blues song ever.
Nobody sounds quite like The Iceman! He blazed a trail like no other. Most definitely a Master of The Telecaster!
Love Albert's Blues this guy took massive risks when playing definitely one of the Greatest. 💙🎸👍
The blues guitar player i found when I was 14 and still my favorite. I truly loved this guy , got to meet him two times
One of the best and he sure is missed, a long with that great sax player a.c. reed
I saw B king 24 times and loved him every time I saw him even tell the end,also saw Collins and Albert king,but was to immature to realize i was seeing other greats of all time,wish I had paid attention
I was at the concert of Joe Bonamassa In Moscow
also Smokey group and Rainbow Group
presence, tone and soul at it's best ... peace+love>
Saw him numerous times at Antoine’s blues club in Austin Tx. He would come off the stage into the crowd and out the front door❤😊😮
RIP Albert Collins (October 1, 1932 - November 24, 1993), aged 61
You will be remembered as a legend.
This is SIMPLY AWESOMENESSNESS at its BEST !!! Such a creative pioneer, great entertainment in every aspect !!!!
Pure talent and charisma enough said
Such a blues classic!! (BTW, the song was written by a blueswoman called Jessie Mae Robinson).
2 Telecasters in one band 😳 all acts after : Go home ! Fantastic blues sound
The best blues guitar player ever!
The master of the telecaster. This is blues children.
SRV1 ....Johnny Hiland would eat Danny Gatton ALIVE..........(not to take ANYTHING away from Mr,Gatton).....but truth,is truth.
Show 💕 💕 💕 💕
RIP and thank you for keeping the Blues alive !!!
Always loved this guy's playing!
Albert Collins, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Buddy Guy, didn't have to say anything in the mic, their guitar did it for them the way they played that thing, wow!
What could be better than the blues .
Double blues
Hi.. Dennise
Sorry but this guy deserves BB King recognition and more. God he was so freaking good.
A real master. Real blues. God save us!
I saw him one time in '88, I think, or maybe '89 at Antone's in Austin (the original one, the only one at the time, on Guadalupe), and it was incredible, something never matched again my whole life. I was a student and lived nearby at the time, and I was only there on a pure lark.
My late uncle Rocky Hill knew him well, and he played on one of Rocky's albums, but that one concert was my only personal experience with him.
''You know im gonna quit somebody everytime that feeling starts'' BOSS!! 🔥🎸🎶
I was backstage in one of his concert in Toulouse France in 80'.
Juste before begining he left the stage to a bar room next to the stage to take a drink... suddenly he began to play in silent way..
But the sound reached the public... it was unrealistic ... we were watching him in a room and listening him in other room ...
Merci beaucoup albert Collins
WOW! WHAT A GREAT BAND...THE GREAT AARON BURTON ON 2ND GUITAR...
Big Bluesman and also a great Showman...I saw him during the eighties several times in Frankfurt😊😊😊
he has a capo on the C and has the guitar tuned to a minor. I guess that's how he learned on his own. The guy kills it
He tuned to F#m open.
Looks like he's tuned to a minor as i said instead of open F#m tuning. It is open however but an F. Looks like a capo. I've seen him use capo's a lot but I've never sat down to listen to exactly what he's doing. I'm sure anyone who studies his style knows.

Wow, I just read a Facebook post about him and looked him up. He's amazing! So glad I searched his music 💕💕
I had a pleasure to see him. Asked for an autograph and picture with him. I love his style. Kathy B. from Florida.
The Iceman ! I was lucky enough to see him perform 2X ( Had a drink with him between sets a Phoenix Hill Tavern in Louisville, and got to see both he and Albert King a couple of years before at Rockefeller's in Houston. One of the all time greats !
One of the Greats. RIP Mr Collins. You are missed
No more Warm feelings No More just ALL COLD COLD FEELINGS I was blind and NOW I CAN SEE DOWN COLD BLUES OH YEAH🖤💙
All the musicians were playin real tight!!!!!!
I saw Albert many times, always a great show.

Unul dintre cei mai mari chitaristi ai secolului Albert Collins !
Wow can’t believe what I just heard that’s just raw talent especially with the band playing with him slam dunk performance
He was a master communicator and he made every note count. . .
Excellent song and tone!

Rockpalast: TV history! Best that ever happend in German television
I wish he was still alive. I could listen to him forever
I've got a cold, cold feelin; It's just like ice around my heart
I've got a cold, cold feelin; It's just like ice around my heart
I know I'm gonna' quit somebody, every time that, feelin'starts
You treat me like a prisoner, because my hands are tied

There's a change in me baby, once I was blind but now I can see
There's a change in me baby, once I was blind but now I can see
I'm gonna' put everybody down baby
That ever made a fool outta me
In the words of the late great Jethro Burns "Play it like you mean it." These cats sure got that message.
What's with the 74 people that have zero taste in blues music? Albert Collins was brilliant. They just don't do it like this anymore.
If this doesn't stir your soul...you ain't got one.
My first time hearing that one and it is BADASS!
A true classic and my favorite of his
Absolutely bad As- he does the blues 💙 so well😊
Pure magic!!!
My kind of music,tell the truth man,, that's the blues😎
A pure ice-blues jam.
Seen him in Boston at the channel.shook his hand .said he tuned to Minor .my ex wife was sitting on his lap.then someone came whispered in his ear,and he said"gotta take care business"

1992
1989
When a band named Nirvana killed music.
