james Moore double trouble, most of the time you hear Stevie playing it’s just them 2 with him a bass some drums and a guitar., think about how many groups of 3 you can get together with those instruments, now listen to their music live (Stevie Rae Vaughn and double trouble) and hear what these 3 can create. And holy shit now the music is even greater., but in this video I think it was Albert King’s band they are amazing too, I’ve never heard pride and joy like the way they played it in this session. 🤟🏻☮️
Dude in blues at sunrise from this set, listen when AK laughs when Stevie plays his first few licks, I have no clue what kind of feeling I would have but that would beeee freakin amazing to hear your hero love your playing so much all he can do is laugh and enjoy
That is Albert King's humility for you. Please, if you haven't read it, go back to the site and see my personal story of how I got to meet Albert King.
I want to stand on stage with 2 holograms of Stevie and Albert and honestly I would just stand there and watch and weep uncontrollably for hours! I cannot get enough of the blues... they make me smile. And I’ll play them for people soon 🤗🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻
i follow this to a t when i need guidance. my grandfather was a migrant worker in the south and he knew what the blues meant. he taught me about it very subtly and i wish to this day he could see me play. poor man died of cancer god rest his soul.
I met Albert King in the weirdest way. It was battle of the bands. And people kept saying "one more song!" to the homegrown bands, so the battle lingered on longer than it should. And by the time Albert King got to headline, it was way late, quarter to midnight. He was so anxious to play, he hit the stage before the band and played this 15 minute blues instrumental that drove the crowd crazy and to their feet. Albert settled us down after his solo, and looked at his watch, and said, "Do you know what time it is? It's midnight, and that means Albert's gonna play all night!" Well, the janitor in the building took him seriously and had a wife and family waiting at home. He turned off the sound on Albert just as the rest of the band were joining him on stage. Then the lights went off. People started throwing chairs. We had won radio tickets and were sitting in the front row getting hit by those chairs. The band was too, dodging em right and left. And they finally fled back stage. Nowhere for us to go in the front row but up on stage, and we followed the band to the green exit sign. And I bumped right into Albert, black as the dark. "What I do? What I do?" He begged more than asked. "Man I want to play. Do you guys know where we can go play?" We lead his limo around the city, stopping at various juke joints trying to find him somewhere to relieve Lucy, his guitar. Never did find him a place. But after a few joints and parting from the best blues player in the game, I thought, "man what a humble guy." And funny! We laughed like hell in the back seat of that limo, especially after we went into some country place called "the Bandar," and they said in twang, "Who's Albert King?" It was 1970, "Born Under a Bad Sign" was just out. He was hitting his peak. I'll never forget that experience. Never.
thanks for your kind response. Albert King was genuine. He wanted to play so bad that night, you knew he was feeling it, and it was like he had the Jones's he wanted to play so bad. But we had a lot of fun driving around, never finding a place. Each place started becoming a laugh. He seemed so open to meeting new people. And there was the time to do it in 1970. It was before disco and the race toward the machine.
I was in the London Hardrock cafe where they had one of Albert's "Lucy's" and the curator told me that they had the original one, the brown one he plays in this video. But also that they didn't have it for long because not nearly a month after he donated the guitar he wanted it back, almost in tears about how much he missed it. So he donated another V in exchange. The curator told me that Albert King was a true gentleman and the nicest guy one could ever meet.
Albert King is so Impressed with Stevie Ray Vaughan that he sits in amazement because Albert is seeing himself in Stevie back when Albert was in dire need of playing the blue's and who Inspired Albert back then..r u with me? Stevie is awesome..
What I found so interesting in this version of this classic, is that the new big dog taught the old one a few licks. He struggled to find them early on, but got there. Oh yes, he got there. Two maestros, one a pioneer, and the other, a student at the top of his class.
Love how Albert gives Stevie advice. "Don't let your head get too big." Damn right. Be humble. You may be a badass player, but there will always be someone technically better than you.
Stevie Ray Vaughan wins a,thumbs up on all his guitar sensationals with Albert King..This is the Best and let Albert know there was someone here to follow him around and only the best can truly do that..Albert likes Stevie and vise versa..a matchup..worked out perfectly
This is one of those videos that shows why SRV was such a great blues artist, it was not only because he could play beyond belief but also because he had so much respect and admiration for his mentors. Stevie knew the blues and respected the heritage. Still my favorite musician of all time because of his playing and his humble demeanor.
They spoke the same language. It's amazing seeing them communicate with one another in that way, truly seeing two masters of the craft give it every ounce while respecting the others brand of the craft.
And Albert had so much humility for his sons of the blues. I love this video, because you can see a real bond between these two, father and son of the blues. I hope you go back to this site and read my story on how I got to meet Albert King.
First 30 seconds is what makes Stevie so powerful and dynamic ...." We're gonna start it off soft " .......notice SRV plays a little to loud for Albert and Albert waves the hand....Stevie immediately pulls back and softens up......doesn't touch the volume knob .......all right hand pick dynamics.......his right hand could be a feather or a jackhammer......his right hand was a pedal in and of itself 🔥🤘
@@haythamkenway1817 Well, three stories I left out occurred the same weekend on Catalina Island off of LA, California. In September/October they have two weekend festivals and the quaint island of Catalina is ideal for a concert. They hold the concert in a big building up against the water called the "Casino." The building is actually shaped like a circular poker chip rack. Boats used to take people gambling that came all the way from San Francisco, making several stops as it went down the CA coast. Music the weekend I went was. 3 hours of music Friday. 5 hours Saturday and again on Sunday. There were many great jazz musicians there. But the three that drew me to the concert were violinist Doug Cameron, sax master, Grover Washington, and back to back Grammy winner Joe Sample. I knew it was going to be a special weekend because as I was entering the Friday show, I saw this dejected guy with a tweed cap. But what gave him away was his blue violin. And he looked so much like the guy on his album cover. "Are you Doug Cameron?" I asked. "Yes," he said. "I feel better now that someone has recognized me." --"Hey," I said, kind of showing off in front of my girlfriend, "I not only recognize you, but will you sign your album I brought with me?" --"You have my album!" says Doug excitedly. "Do you mind if I take it up to the girl in the ticket booth? Come with me." We went aheqd of everyone in the long line and directly up to the ticket booth. Doug showed the ticket-taker the album. "Do you believe me now?" he asked her. She looked at the album and then back to Doug's face, and then she turned red. "I'm so sorry," she said. "Of course you can go in." Doug then turned to me, "If not for you, there might not have been a concert tonight," he said. "She wouldn't let me in and I didn't have my ID with me." Needless to say, my gf was very impressed. The downside of the Casino is that there are two large bars, and if you're anywhere close to them, it's hard to hear the music. I'm one of those fuddy-duddies who would rather listen to the music than drink. But the upside to the Casino is, that for $10 bucks extra you can sit with the guys at the mixer, and listen to the music by insulated top-of-the-line head phones. And that's the way I experienced both Grover Washington on Saturday and Joe Sample on Sunday. Another thing I recommend doing is going with a radio station that sponsors the event. I went with a busload of jazz lovers from "Smooth Jazz, 96.7." You really get to meet some interesting like-minded folks. I tried to sing jazz, at one point. I was a tenor and Johnny Hartman was my mentor. So this guy on the bus and I got along fine. He was a baritone, and we'd pick crooning songs we both knew and harmonized together. He did the Karaoke circuit but I hadn't gotten that brave yet. ---Another thing great about going with a radio station is that they know where all the musicians are going to be playing after hours. Doug Cameron formerly invited me to join him at one of the island clubs Friday. But who I really wanted to see was Grover Washington and Joe Sample. And as luck would have it, both of them had places to be after hours. I have seen Grover Washington 4 times. He has never disappointed. It must have been close to 1989, because he had just come out with his big band album, but he was doing solo with a small group at the festival. While I was at the mixer listening to Grover's pure sound, I got a nudge from behind. It was my baritone friend. He asked my gf and I to be sure and join him at the Blue Parrot, where they did karaoke on the weekend. We hung out and he and his wife and my gf and I ended up walking over to the Blue Parrot together. (Catalina Island is a small little walkable town). So sure enough, my new friend signs up and before I know it he's on stage and the song he picks is "Lush Life," one of my favorite Johnny Hartman songs I know by heart that he sings on "Johnny Hartman/John Coltrane." My friend does a great version of the song, then he bridges and turns to the pianist signaling for a solo. The pianist does a few bars, but unbeknownst to us in the club's darkness, the guy with the shiny gold looking sax is Grover Washington who breaks into a Coltrane-like solo that he makes his own. My friend starts balling. His wife is now balling. "C-Can you take a picture with my ca-camera," she sobs. And by this time, Grover has jointed my friend on stage, giving him a side hug and continuing his solo, as the tears flow out of his baritone eyes. I snap the camera. After all was sung and done that night, we got to have a half hour conversation with Grover after, and I asked him about his next album. He said it was going to be his interpretations of Coltrane's music. I was thrilled, but Grover Washington would die of heart problems before he ever got to realize that gig. The solo of "Lush Life" he gave that night proved it would be a great loss for all of us in never getting to hear that album. When I say he made Coltrane's music his own, that's saying something, because I worship the favorite things JC walks on. On Sunday night, Joe Sample played It was beautiful. Our radio guide told us where he would be playing after, but to leave for thee restaurant as soon as the concert was over because it would be a very short after hours program. Joe Sample had just survived a heart attack just a few months earlier. Anyway, we did what we were told, and got over to BVs on Q. It was a formal looking place, elongated with white linen. and mahogany throughout Joe Sample was determined to play at BVs because it had an ivory baby grand that had rubbed keys with many a famous icon. In that 45 minutes of 3 spontaneous efforts of music in his head, Joe Sample had never sounded so good, before or since. At BVs that night, he hit his peak. We all knew it. As he completed his third miracle effort, I saw a fresh white towel in the bus tray. It was still warm. And I took it over to that ivory piano and toweled Joe Sample off with it, while bowing my total respect again and again as I did so. He really got a great kick out of that and laughed out loud for awhile. It was a good feeling and what a way to conclude a concert. I almost forgot. When my gf and I got back to our room about 1am, and we had just settled under the sheets, we suddenly heard groans through our thin walls, our bed's headboard started rattling, no kidding and a picture fell off the wall. What a climax to a great weekend, and we had a good laugh about it. But nothing could disturb our engrossed neighbors who lasted another hour. To be honest, I'd rather listen to Joe Sample, or Grover, or Doug's gypsy violin, even though the porno was live, pronounced, and unadulterated..
Gotta love the repartee between these two, like a father/son relationship, as Albert just busts Stevie's chops. And then, there's the blues.......like a trip to heaven! Keep cuttin' heads. I'll be there soon enough.
So enjoyable to watch 2 of the best ever play the Blues! Gotta love these guys. However, it did bring a tear to my eyes knowing that they are no longer with us.....RIP Stevie & Albert, your music will live on forever...........
Albert King's fretting hand just does my right handed brain crazy. it's like how is he playing those licks like that. and damn his tone and phrasing, so soulful and almost haunting. Stevie is great too, it's just being a Texan so many dudes down here think blues began with Stevie so it left a bad impression on me. I was always like, give me my hometown (Beaumont, TX) Johnny Winter if I'm going white boy blues.
I have to go with the Mississippian Mr. King on this one. One thing we can be proud of in this state is that some of ours have went on to be the best blues musicians ever!
I still think Mr King blows SRV out the water even as good as Stevie was he was only a student to Albert King. You can see at some points in this amazing get together that Stevie sits and looks at Mr King in awe as a student to his teacher. This is probably the best performance of this song hands down. You can see how proud SRV is to have Mr King playing it. Great stuff.
Stevie Ray Vaughan and Albert King are sensational..keyboard player is fantastic and the drummer keeping the beat..Stevie and Albert are professionally great..and this music will never die..
Stevie and Albert play together like making love, bringing themselves as high as possible to share the pleasure. Now it's you, now it's me, on and on, they never stop. I wish I'd live as many Stormy Mondays as them, every note has its power, this is a fantastic communion between hearts and souls. The final shake-hand is the purest I've ever seen between two geniuses. Be careful, do not watch this video too much, you could become an addict ! And there's no cure for this addiction....However, this piece of musical art should belong to all youngsters education, just for them to understand what it is to be high...
Wow, just washed my soul with this. Thanks so much for sharing this. I bought this CD like in 97 and never had seen the video of it. Simply brilliant. Stevie was so respectful and humble. A great example of what real talent and passion for music is all about. I feel blessed. Thanks again.
I thank God that I get to watch Stevie Ray Vaughan and Albert King setting and playing the blue's ..thank You , U Tube...This is sensational and wonderful to be able to watch these two music legends strmg there Guitars..The Best
We all cut our teeth on this " Call it Stormy Monday" tune.... And if U can't play that, you can't play the Blues. Now both these great guys are playing it exceptionally well....And the bass play is right on! And very slowly the song builds. You gotta love these guys! I do!
Ahhhhh! In this day of web surfing and the 30 second sound bite it is unbelievable to just see these guys so in the moment for 30 minutes!! Not in any rush to get anywhere--just jammin'. Delicious!!!!

You know shit is about to get real when they both stand up.
Whoever is playing bass is just as killer as the two guitar gods. Dang he is good.

I was thinking the same about the drummer
james Moore double trouble, most of the time you hear Stevie playing it’s just them 2 with him a bass some drums and a guitar., think about how many groups of 3 you can get together with those instruments, now listen to their music live (Stevie Rae Vaughn and double trouble) and hear what these 3 can create. And holy shit now the music is even greater., but in this video I think it was Albert King’s band they are amazing too, I’ve never heard pride and joy like the way they played it in this session. 🤟🏻☮️
It's Double Trouble backing them.
@@ponyboymaicjoyce6308 no that’s not Tommy & Chris. I’ll bet it is Mr. King’s band.
I love the fact that A.K. got so engrossed watching SRV play, that he himself had to stop playing and just sit there staring.
Mutual adoration methinks
Dude in blues at sunrise from this set, listen when AK laughs when Stevie plays his first few licks, I have no clue what kind of feeling I would have but that would beeee freakin amazing to hear your hero love your playing so much all he can do is laugh and enjoy

Stevie died two years before Albert died. Sure hope they are rockin' together in the great beyond. RIP gentlemen.
Samuel, nice thought on these two dynamos of blues. I hope you go back to this site and read my story on how I got to meet Albert King.
Albert is thinking, “I taught this boy well.”
If he thought it, it was with humility.

Great bass player - never missed a beat.
Nothing but love !!!! Black n white MUSIC CAN HEAL US ALL OUR SOULS ARE LIVES TOGETHER!!!! AMERICANS ARE GREAT NO MATTER WHAT COLOR !!!!!!!
I am truly grateful to all involved in sharing this moment in time.
Does it get any better than these two men playing the blues together..... ?
This music is straight from the soul

Two Blues Masters!
His voice, his style, his guitar all just amazing. SRV you sure are missed in the music world. Jimi & Stevie two different colors, one same soul...
Blues is inside, who cares about outside
For a bit there, I forgot they were both gone :) gone but alive through tha blues and never forgotten :)
Sunday morning, nice hot cuppa tea, and I find this. Gonna be a GOOD day!
Mr. King reminds me of a proud father here...
Perfect thought. Thank you. If you have time, I hope you go back to this site and read my story on how I got to meet Albert King.

when Albert King stood up you knew he was fixing to throw down
Hell yeah lol
Damn right
Yeah cuz he couldn’t match Stevie so he had to stand up lol
He definitely threw down!
Sho nuff!!!
The music is truly amazing but the banter between the two of them is priceless.
It doesn't get cooler than these two playing together! Top notch musicians
I am still mad crazy amazed at the way Albert made that guitar talk.
This is the jam that is going down in heaven right now. Keep on mashin' that box boys, we're still listenin'.
Another great piece off great blues music🎉
Gotta love this.. SRV was so cute. And Albert, well he just complemented everyone he played with. 2 masters, hope they are playing together again...
srv is dead
albert king is dead

lindalovesmusic even though i dont believe in heaven, if it did exist these guys would obviously be there :)

So enjoyable to watch 2 of the best ever play the Blues! Gotta love these guys. However, it did bring a tear to my eyes knowing that they are no longer with us.....RIP Stevie & Albert, your music will live on forever...........
It is 2019 and these guys are the true masters of blues
This hit me square in the soul.
God...DAMN.
This breaks my heart but gives me power.
I love the blues. Blues don't bother me! Keeps me company.
I love the blues, they tell my story
If you don't feel it you can never understand
Their guitars are connected to their souls!
U can tell ALBERT big influence on. SRV.
National
treasures
Some of DA best chops ever
Albert King has got his own band right there in the studio..with Stevie Ray Vaughan as HOST
My most treasured DVD. Nuff said. Drummer and bass player sitting right there...never deviating. Solid as. 😎👌
If i could bring back dead musicians to play one more show, these are my top 2.
Bass and Drums are the unsung hero's here.
Love my Stevie Ray.... always have.. Just so ironic that Albert outlived Stevie... by 2 years and 2 months.. I pray they are rockin the Heavens..
Well said
Albert King's fretting hand just does my right handed brain crazy. it's like how is he playing those licks like that. and damn his tone and phrasing, so soulful and almost haunting.
Stevie is great too, it's just being a Texan so many dudes down here think blues began with Stevie so it left a bad impression on me. I was always like, give me my hometown (Beaumont, TX) Johnny Winter if I'm going white boy blues.
Jonah Fuerstenberg white boy blues i pick david gilmour
I have to go with the Mississippian Mr. King on this one. One thing we can be proud of in this state is that some of ours have went on to be the best blues musicians ever!
I still think Mr King blows SRV out the water even as good as Stevie was he was only a student to Albert King. You can see at some points in this amazing get together that Stevie sits and looks at Mr King in awe as a student to his teacher. This is probably the best performance of this song hands down. You can see how proud SRV is to have Mr King playing it. Great stuff.
but you don't gotta worry about who's better and who's not because they go together to make something amazing
Ferrell Rooster I agree
Tyler Turner Mr King isn't running thru nothing but an Amp so yeah Albert no pedals King all day long
Ferrell Rooster I believe that is mutual respect!
Super album that everyone should have!
i finally found it. the greatest video on youtube. my god i'm stoned
hahaha well done...
Again that bassist is amazing ;)
Two Masters.
Love and miss you forever. Albert king & SRV 💙
this times never come back
SR playin' the hell out of that guitar. Albert King playin' the hell out of his soul.
NObody can make guitars talk like these two can...Unbelievable!
Stevie Ray Vaughan and Albert King are sensational..keyboard player is fantastic and the drummer keeping the beat..Stevie and Albert are professionally great..and this music will never die..
Que regalo al alma.!!!
Wow these 2 are good! Albert King's leftie licks are rocking it all over the place, love it!!
Two Grand Masters. I've always considered this as passing the tourch to the next generation. How this video could have a single dislike is beyond me.
I know...
Some people....
To see them together live would have killed me!
this should be shown in all music classes in all schools.
Stevie and Albert play together like making love, bringing themselves as high as possible to share the pleasure. Now it's you, now it's me, on and on, they never stop. I wish I'd live as many Stormy Mondays as them, every note has its power, this is a fantastic communion between hearts and souls. The final shake-hand is the purest I've ever seen between two geniuses. Be careful, do not watch this video too much, you could become an addict ! And there's no cure for this addiction....However, this piece of musical art should belong to all youngsters education, just for them to understand what it is to be high...
Just so great....these guys are second to none..legends 😎🎸
Wow, just washed my soul with this. Thanks so much for sharing this. I bought this CD like in 97 and never had seen the video of it. Simply brilliant. Stevie was so respectful and humble. A great example of what real talent and passion for music is all about. I feel blessed. Thanks again.
I would hope so. Stevie Ray Vaughn is a legend, but Albert King is one of the Three Kings, the only royalty of the blues.
Can it get any better, why can't these greats live forever.
I thank God that I get to watch Stevie Ray Vaughan and Albert King setting and playing the blue's ..thank You , U Tube...This is sensational and wonderful to be able to watch these two music legends strmg there Guitars..The Best
Hope these icons are having a rockin' good time together, wherever they may be!
Ya know they are man,may them jam in peice!
Im alllllll covered in goose bumps.This is THE most epic shit ever....
Better fucking believe it
Like Justin Johnson?
To all blues players you have just been schooled! One of the greatest blues guitarist and the greatest guitarist ever!
so true
I get a lump in my throat every time I listen to Stevie Ray play.
Blues at it's best....two greats that oozed it. Clinic
Liking this video isn't enough... gotta get a love button!
To see these two playing together is AMAZING!!
beautiful. such a dream session for me
30 min of pure ecstasy
We all cut our teeth on this " Call it Stormy Monday" tune.... And if U can't play that, you can't play the Blues. Now both these great guys are playing it exceptionally well....And the bass play is right on! And very slowly the song builds. You gotta love these guys! I do!
One badass jam! Love to here these two do this song!
Increible, lo escuche sin parar de principio a fin... eriza la piel. Nada mas que decir!
these two are pure magic together. Definition of blues right here.
9 people just don't have a clue. I had the honor of meeting Vic Charles the bass player in this....
i think he gets bored about halfway through...
a lot higher now
Brilliance ... Simple Masterful Brilliance!!! ... Long live both Albert & Stevie 😏🌅😎
Un inchino a queste Altezze Reali...

2 GREAT BLUES GUITARIST EVER, FOREVER STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN @ ALBERT KING.
Albert's tone just...those bends force a different kind of sound out.
