If I have the good fortune to make it to heaven I am going to look up Mr Albert Collins and shake your hand sir and say thank you to you for the genuine genius and joy you brought and continue to bring to this mortal world which is poorer for your passing. I trust you will not just be resting but continuing to rock the house like no one else could!
I saw Albert in like 1978 in a tiny packed club of 70-80 people. He was amazing. He had the 100' cable and went outside the club wailing on the guitar!
What a guy! Total class act. Heard he once went out into the street playing guitar and ordered a pizza which was later delivered to the stage 😅 RIP Albert, a true showman.
Such a humble man,my favorite bluesman by far,such fun,such talent,incredible music,thank you Mr.Collins,never forgotten by those touched by you and your amazing music
Damn I miss Albert. This clip: Beautiful. Wonderful. Classy. Classic. Cool. Soulful. Funky. Brilliant. Amazing. Original. Crowd pleasing. Did I miss something?
He quit music at one point, because he had to earn a living for his family and he wasn't making it yet, trough music, his wife was the one that made him pick it up again because he was just depressed. Maybe that's why he was so apreciative of everything.
@ 13:19 I saw Albert many times in the 80's and early 90's, I always thought the way he would kick his leg out at the end of a tune was badass and cool as f'"*k! Albert was "Cool" personified, dude.
ALBERT ...........JUST ........OUTSTANDING !!!!!! ..........WILL NEVER SEE ANOTHER ......ALBERT ....THANK U FOR THE SMILES AND FEEL GOODS U GAVE US >>>>>
i saw him the very night that he played with george thorogood at live aid in richmond,va..in 1985....shout out to to rob noll who was 2nd guitar..it may be the best show i have ever seen...albert went out to the median strip on broad st while he was playing!
Albert and his band were obviously very talented but for him to go out in the crowd and shake so many hands while playing one-handed ...and to sit down in an empty seat and play some killer guitar...wow! Quite impressive and too funny! That audience was clearly thrilled.
I was in Antones the night he walked out on the street and I think ordered a Pizza from the place behind the club. Also the great Rubys BBq there as well.A great time in my life.Austin was a different place.
Open F tunning, marshal amp, no effects, everything on 10 including amps reverb. To make it even more weird, Capo on 12th fret ahaha. That is why he sounded like cutting trough ice. The amp settings is the main thing, the neighbours love it too :D
o verdeiro rei do blues e do jazz, nao tem outro cantor e quitarrista que chegue ao profissional del albert collins, muleque de agora so fas barulho que nao presta. este e blues e jazz mesmo na raza.
I sling the guitar around my shoulders just like the great Albert Collins did. I injured my left shoulder in a motorcycle accident & was unable to play for 3 years until Albert Collins inspired me that that things can operate on a totally different level. Rest Easy Mr. Collins, thank you for the noise.
It's actually smart, playing guitar can really take a toll on your body and even injure you, some musicians have to quit guitar because of it, it's no joke. Sitting with a classical guitar several hours a day can do that for you, imagine standing up with a electrical guitar, which is way more heavy, with a strap around your neck, not good. I bet Albert experienced some neck and back pain before adapting to this, even so, this won't be good for that right arm/shoulder.
Can someone telle me who's on Albret's left, guitarist with sunglassses that looks and play like Jimmy Vaughan ? ANYWAY INCREDIBLE MUSIC MOMENT ! I'd even say EPIC !! Not anybody can plays 2 note while shaking public's hands for like 3' !!!

What a sweetheart, I've never seen anyone sit down or shake hands with the audience before. A very appreciative artist 💝
He quit music at one point, because he had to earn a living for his family and he wasn't making it yet, trough music, his wife was the one that made him pick it up again because he was just depressed. Maybe that's why he was so apreciative of everything.
I am so glad to have seen him and his band play live. Absolutely brilliant. He sure was special and unique 🎸🎶🙏

New Years Eve 1987 Albert Collins played at Nightstage in Cambridge, MA. Best New Years ever!
this was really cool you won’t find anything like it
No other could come close to his tone. Albert was loud, but AWESOME!!!!!!!

No offense, but Albert played only fender amps. Silverface Quad Reverbs with 12" JBL's.
You Damn Right! thanks for sharing hope you are well God loves you deeply shalom 🎊✨🎇🎉🎆🎈 🎸🔊
Awesome !!!
🌈☮️🌈

Sensacional uma aula de humildade isso é ser grande parabéns
Albert put Leona Texas on the map he left us to early .
I live the little NBC jingle riff or whatever her threw in at the very end 😂

🙏🙏🙏
Cooler that cool, Ice Cold.
ALBERT COLLINS the next best thing to JOHN LEE HOOKER 👍😎👍🏴🇬🇧 OCT TWENTY FOUR 👏
Cant believe albert used his guitar strap on his shoulder like that
I sling the guitar around my shoulders just like the great Albert Collins did. I injured my left shoulder in a motorcycle accident & was unable to play for 3 years until Albert Collins inspired me that that things can operate on a totally different level. Rest Easy Mr. Collins, thank you for the noise.
Freddie King do the same

@@Marco81blues yup, bass guitar even heavier
Albert had the guitar strap blues
That's ur Best my friend ☺️
Why is it after EVERY trombone solo, it seems, there is always applause? Trumpet? Nope. Sax? Nah. Trombone? Hell yes!
Johnny B. Gayden ha un tiro pazzesco!!!
Horns gentlemen...horns
A band of fools, more than groovy men, level that makes the humanity sounding something really good
RIP
Think that's bob weir at 14:08 with the ponytail
Albert once had a gal named Debbie Davies playing with him , She went out on her own , very good , the apples don,t fall too far from the tree,s !
FROZED
Lady s of blue's coming again
Johnny B Gaden Bass and Socko Richardson on drums.
Compared to the music of today ..........
Is that Tom Scott on the sax??
Who's the guy on bass????
Mr Johnny B Gayden workin it
@@etiennecfourie777
Quite right my friend. Quite right. He's around still.
@@etiennecfourie777
I think Reese wynans, is great too. He's been around forever.
@@terryomalley9669 right on thank you will look him up. Peace
@@etiennecfourie777
Jimmy Vaughan is still going strong too. We seen him play last year in St. Charles Illinois at the arcada theatre.
Why all the great keyboardists look like librarians? Except Rick Wakeman.
Can someone telle me who's on Albret's left, guitarist with sunglassses that looks and play like Jimmy Vaughan ?
ANYWAY INCREDIBLE MUSIC MOMENT ! I'd even say EPIC !! Not anybody can plays 2 note while shaking public's hands for like 3' !!!
Paul Verhelst Derek O’Brien another Texan who played with jimmy and Stevie as well.
@@anthonylattanzio Thanks so much !!!
@@anthonylattanzio thanks for the info
That's the guy that plays in the house band at Antone's we back in the 80s in the 90s Austin Texas Antone's
That would be derick o'Bryan lead guitarist house band at antoine's club
I'll take Albert over Buddy Guy any day. More sting less slop.
Totally agree!!!! ALBERT IS THE REAL DEAL!!
The other guitarist I think is César Rojas from México ,he played with Santana, SRV y Jimmy Vaughan un Costa mesa 🎸🎸🎸🥁🎹🎷
No, the other guitarist is Derek O'Brien from Austin, TX.
Derek Obrien
Awesome!!!! Except that guy clapping on the off beats during frosty was making me dizzy. He somehow managed to avoid every beat?
Looked perfect and sounded great.
