I was at a Blues club in KC when the performer was on a break before his last set. SRV was playing in town at a bigger venue that night. SRV's bus pulls up. Completely unannounced and he plays the entire last set with Lonnie Brooks. That was such a magical night.
Awesome!
Your videos on SRV are spot on. He’s definitely my favorite and I don’t think he gets the credit he should. Great job
SRV had so much respect for the Elder State men of the Blues
👍
SVR was a true gentleman in every aspect.
Stevie is absolutely giddy that he is up there with his hero.
I was blessed to have seen SRV 4-5 times including his last performance at Alpine Valley Wisc.the night he tragically died. Even today I sometimes get tears in my eyes watching the greatest blues guitarists ever play on these videos. I wonder what his playing would sound like if he were still alive today? Great clip Fil! That whole session is classic.
Yeah he was taken way too soon.
Don't Lie to Me from this same session is awesome.
Stevie tries on several different styles and watching Albert watch Stevie is just precious!
This is more like Albert teaching Stevie and full of pride at his student becoming the master.
Wow, Fil, words just fail to express my appreciation for your work here. But I'll try anyway. In short, you have an amazing gift for verbalizing WHY our jaws just drop to the floor when we witness masterful blues playing like this. All I knew when I first saw this clip of Stevie Ray and Albert was that I was blown away by their playing. But you Fil tell us WHY we're blown away. As you discuss videos like this. I find myself saying' "Yes, yes, yes! THAT'S IT! Fil's hit the nail on the head AGAIN!" . The best part is I come away with an appreciation of musical greatness like this that is 1000 times more than I got on my own. Absolutely monumental.
Thanks Ron!
Fun Fact: Albert's guitar "Lucy", was custom built for him by Mr. Dan Erlewine. The luthier who makes the Stew Mac videos, and has also designed alot of their tools.
Albert King and Buddy Guy were two of Stevie's biggest influences
👍
Phil, give this a try when you get time... www.bernardallison.com/guitars
and Lonnie Mack
I think Stevie respected everyone who came before him.. I’ve been loving the blues since I was about 12 yrs old.. just wish I had the passion to play then .... 😬☮️🎸💯
obvisouly Albert King was Stevies biggest influence. imo its albert then jimi then others like Guy, ALbert Collins, Mack, Beck, Clapton etc. Albert did say Stevie should cut him a check for royalties on those licks, lol. You should mention that Albert is playing upside down and in a weird tuning, that is one of the reasons its hard to get his bends right, hes pulling down a lot of those. anyway that is a great video, id look at the whole thing, imo you picked a great jam but its the one that suffers most with tuning issues. Later on Albert slays Stevie. just my opinion but I love them both and saw them both a number of times.
It’s like a conversation. Albert “say what” and Stevie responds.
My big regret not seeing SRV before he passed tho saw Albert King live twice. Wow. Thanks for doing this.
Girl such a dumb ass I am. Lived in Austin for 15 yrs saw SRV but never albert or bb
I got to see SRV in March of 1990 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. What a great show and who would of thought we would only have him for a few more months. RIP SRV.
This is one of my all time favorite videos. My husband taped this on VHS when it first came out and I have seen it a thousand times. The mutual respect these two musicians had for each other is so beautiful. Albert knew that stevie was special and you can see how proud he is of stevie. They were just doing what two bluesmen loved to do - having a beautiful conversation between their guitars. Also stevie was like a kid in a candy store around any of his heros. You could just see and hear the excitement with him. Absolutely beautiful to watch.
Amen!
The crown jewel of that recording session was "Blues at Sunrise" ... unbeatable with Stevie and Albert both killing it. To top it off Albert's classic story telling including the references to Janice and Jimi. Give it a listen you won't regret it.
👍
Agreed... but why isn't it on the DVD?! 💙💜💙💜💙
i caught Albert live in a blues bar in Chicago, probably late 80's. I was standing out in the crowd, turned around and a guy was carrying this beautiful flying V with "Albert King" in pearl on the fretboard. I said to myself "Holy Cow, that's Albert King's guitar, 2 feet in front of me! Then right behind him was this big dude. Holy Cow, that's Albert King! really glad back then that I made it a point to see all these legend blues guys before they were gone.
Awesome!
I'm so glad that you are paying respect 2 the greatest artist who ever lived. U have my respect. U are very rare these days
Thanks! No problem!
Only saw SRV once, was Tulsa, sadly I was disappointed. Found later it was right before he went to rehab and got clean after coming close to death along with drummer. Fortunately survived a little longer to make great music. The night I saw him was clearly on autopilot, none of the fire we always expected. Glad he got himself together but seemed even greater tragedy to lose him so soon. I think he was just hitting his stride after best album, his songwriting was getting on higher plane, l think he had lightyears of elevating his astonishing axe ability with songwriting getting to another level. I had left my guitar untouched for several years til Stevie inspired me to give it another go. After learning about his history and style I was encouraged because so much of what he was reflected on me. I had no formal training, could'nt read music. Just taught myself to immitate the sound from my radio. I had no one for years for guidance, knew nothing about blues history just loved intense blues guitar. Instinctively tuned low when just by ear because sounded good to me. Was'nt good at note for note rendition, loved to play as I felt it. When I did get with other players got discouraged being critisized and told everything I did was wrong. Shut me down til I discovered Stevie , felt a little validation, maybe I was a real guitar player. I'm an old man now but my daughter fronts her own band, teaching her 12yr. old daughter now. I give Stevie credit for those blessings. He had to be inspiration to so many players, once you accept never reach his level but still get to revel whenever really get in that zone where it seems to flow out of your soul. Just does'nt occur at the frequency as him. Seemed he could summon it at will. I hope he's in a joyous place he deserves, have'nt mentioned the pure goodness that emanated from him. So fortunate I got to experience.
Yeah he has inspired many future guitar players.
Just a little FYI: it wasn't his drummer (Chris Layton) who went to rehab at the same time as Stevie Ray; it was the bass player, Tommy Shannon.
I got to see SRV in 1983 when he opened for the Moody Blues in Philadelphia. Talk about a tough act to follow! Stevie was just coming into the scene and was relatively unknown by most, except for guitar aficionados like myself. I was excited to see him and he blew everyone away that night. I like the Moody's, but they were completely upstaged and their performance was extremely anticlimactic after Stevie's INCREDIBLE playing. At one point in the show, he sat on the edge of the stage with his feet hanging off and his head down and jammed for over 10 minutes. When he was finished, the crowd was almost silent because their jaws were on the floor and then everyone suddenly erupted into a huge applause. It was magical. Poor Moody Blues.
Awesome!
Dogon Backwards I love the Moodies & bet they did fine! Completely different to SRV but Justin Hayward was no slouch. It's all good!
Some days you eat the bear, some days the bear eats you. Grand Funk did it to Zep. Skynyrd did it to the Stones. ; )
@@757optim LOL...VERY TRUE 😆💦
Stevie Ray Vaughan is the Cat's meowww..and Albert King is fantastic with all smiles and rhythem coming our way..Stevie is sensational and Albert picked up on the quality of sound going out..Legends..most beautiful sounds coming out of those Guitars..How Sweet the sound..can listen for hours..never boring ..This makes me smile all day long..
Wow, 4 years ago, I'm always behind.
Can't actually state how much I love your superb analysis adequately.
Albert and Stevie jamming is marvelous. Thank you! I'm about 66 years old, arthritis has attacked my hands and it's difficult for me to play.
Sad, but watching the greats perform still gives me inspiration enough not to lay my guitar down. Love the blues, and miss these two gentlemen immensely.
Goosebumps every time I listen to the greatest Blues Guitarist of all time!
I really enjoy hearing Albert saying stuff like... "Yeah, the phones been cut off..." A musical conversation. Of course both of their playing is fantastic. Enjoyed the video and your commentary. Gives me insights about playing i hadn't thought of before.
No problem!
I always liked that tune of Albert's called " You're Gonna Need Me". !!
Thanks Fil!!! This jam session is priceless!!! Two sensational blues men complimenting each other!!! Amazing amount of respect , no one trying to out shred the other , just awesome guitar work! What legends they both are!!!!
Amen!
Albert even says "go ahead" with the beat, doesn't sound like he's talking over it. His generation has that smoothness.
I would watch just for the sheer joy Albert King exudes. No worries, the music is joyous too.
This entire session was about 90min, and it’s all fantastic.
Joy and humility in both. SRV paying homage to Albert in a very deferential way. Albert is loving it. So good to watch.
Albert - my favourite bluesman, so obviously full of delight and fun.
Great commentary Fil. The "Three Kings" of the electric blues guitar...Albert, B.B., and Freddie. Now that you've done analyses of Albert and B.B., perhaps an analysis of Freddie would be in order:-)
Haha yeah I'll get there!
@@wingsofpegasus Good. The Texas Cannonball himself and 'Hideaway', enough said.
I saw Albert at a club in late 80's, had to work the next day so I left at 1AM, as I was walking to my car I could still hear him bending a handful of strings (upside down)!
I've watched this performance dozens of times and never get tired of it
I recently watched the full uncut video of this particular session, that took place in Hamilton Ontario, just about the time SRV's first record came out. Albert King knew him from when he was first starting out as a teenager, it was incredible to watch these two work their magic together. Thanks for choosing something from this session!
PS. On the last song of that session, they both stand up and play together in such an amazing finale that I actually shed a couple of tears. It's intense! Only these two pros could play together like that and not clash. I highly recommend watching the full uncut video that was not previously made available.
A link to the uncut In Session show for anyone interested:

Fil you just keep coming with the best videos of the greats in 1967 I met Jimmie James and the blue flames Jimmie put me wise to Albert King change all my thoughts on how to play guitar I was in a Funk Band and needed a lead style to fit the funk Hendrix was right 1972 i met Jimmy Vaughan he told about Stevies love of Albert's style never met them but I still love seeing them together #Sunnyside of excellence
Man I was hoping you would do this one. Buddy Guy, Albert King, Albert Collins, BB King. What a generation of blues men! Oh, and don't forget The Hook!
👍
I've never really listened to SRV. I didn't even know he sang too tbh, but he's got such a great voice, I'm surprised more's not made of it.
👍
I was an Antone's when Albert would call Stevie up. Please play and react to the whole video, you do a great analysis !!
Thanks!
Hello old friend! How ya doing Brother Fil??!
This kinda popped up so I watched it again.
Thought Id check in , I'm still above ground.
The most incredible moment Is on here Fil. I D K if you seen the short moment. I need some context on it but Albert is talking between tunes, gets up + goes to his gear, I'm not sure what's happening but Stevie says;
: I was paying attention. ( Obviously he's not referring to that night but YEARS ago). Watch as Albert is STUNNED, he starts stuttering, mumbling, he's in shock !!!
I'll bet that's a one time thing right there!! That's NOT the Albert we know!! S. R. V. s dedication to the blues his eagerness to learn blowed Albert's mind! King basically decided that day to pass the torch + give STEVIE HIS BLESSING!!! INCREDIBLE!!!
I gotta run. Hang in there Brother.
You STILL ARE. " THE MAN"!!!
Phil, I have only recently become aware of your well presented, informative, and soulful reactions to great guitar performances. I started playing at the age of 7, classical at first and then influenced by SRV, Roy Clark, John Williams, Tommy Emmanuel, Jerry Reed, Elvis, David Russel, Scott Tennant, Andrew York, Paco Delucia, Paco Peña, Diblo Dibala and many other masters. Your channel is such a great presentation of guitarists with great technique and performance mastery with the cheeky quality of a very informed fan. I really applaud your approach to educating people on the subtleties of guitar playing. Good on ya, mate. Keep up the great work. One suggestion.... Kanda Bongo Man and his brilliant guitarist, Diblo. Peace, my guitars brother.
Think of all the lives you lifted up in this period of cosmic pandemic blues. Thx Fil!
Stevie loved Albert so much he flubbed the line out of sheer excitement and pressure of playing with his idol. Albert King is my favorite guitarist, along with David Gilmour. So I can only imagine how nervous he might have been.
You have got to love it when you can see they are having a great time. It makes a guy have a good time just watching them.
👍
Thx Fil love this set Albert once said "Theirs only 1 white boy with a black Daddy and hes him and I'm it " Lol from then on he was Stevies God Father two great Blues Legends.
😂👍
Two absolute genius. SRV was and is The greatest all time and in my opinion Albert King's voice was the purest blues voice ever. SRV had magnificent voice too.
This is probably my favorite RUclips vid ever… just so great in many ways.. nice job covering it Mr Pegasus
I almost wore my poor old dvd out. Pure greatness all round.
Thanks Fil, Stevie Ray Vaughan was a great blues singer. At times almost as powerful as Janis Joplin. Thanks Blues Brother!!!
Daaaammmmnnnn!!!!! As always, thanks FIL. Helacios great stuff
Back in 1982 I was under contract to build the North Dallas Tollway... my regular gig. Soon I found this bar in Dallas, Poor David's I believe it was. I walked in the place with the guys for a beer. Looked at the huge mirror behind the stage, I said, "That looks just like John Hartford!" It was. Later that evening, we were still there, Some guys walk in and start setting up gear. I really didn't know much about SRV at the time. And actually, the band was Jimmy Lee's band, his brother. Stevie was at the bar with us for a bit. Didn't know it was him. Soon he got up there with Jimmy. I was blown off my chair. Became a huge fan. Went to see him a handful of times around Dallas, which for a lot of guitar players is home. Jerry Jeff Walker, among those who have gone. Anyway, Stevie made his guitar talk to the crowd in voices of tone and feedback. In some ways, at the time, I put him in a range of how Jeff Beck would make the guitar scream and feedback. Of course, Albert will always be someone to emulate. That Flying V Gibson... If only I could find one from the 60s I could grab. Another good show! Thanks for putting up.
Haha that's awesome!
For my taste , Albert King is the best blueser of the old black blues school . Absolutely the best . No BB King , no M. Waters....... nobody . Only Albert King .
Cool!
Respect your opinion, respect Albert's playing, but he's one of my least favorite of the old Bluesmen. Of the King bros /S, I prefer BB and Freddie.
Demian Hesse I love Albert King 👑 it’s either Albert King or Albert Collins or SRV that’s my top fave but all 3 are so close, it’s understated that Albert King’s signature lick is the most used lick ever in blues in my opinion, if you listen to enough A. King you’ll know which lick I’m talking about. Stevie uses it very much in Texas Flood.
I absolutely agree!! Albert is the best!
Thanks for the video! Especially that comment near the end about muscle memory vs real improvisation. First time I've even thought about that!
This is so great. You can actually hear part of where Stevie got his sound. There is a whole album from this session and several videos... It really is a piece of history. One generation of Blues men handing it to the next. And Stevie sort of handed it to the next. That is how the blues keeps living. SRV never got the respect he really deserved. He was one of the best, in a genre that was not revered as much as the time of this greatness. He should have been up there with BB, Clapton, Hendrix, Buddy Guy... It took him forever to break through because of the times... too bad he didn't persist longer.
Ah, yeah. SRV and Albert King... Probably my favorite blues recording ever made. Vocals are spot on and the understanding between the two guitarists on their instruments is some of the tightest playing you could possibly imagine. And the fact that they were just having fun with it makes it all the more fun to listen to
👍
Dead Tap Center review. Thanks. Gotta tell you I get a kick out of watching your expressions when SRV 💜 and others play... Your face lights up. It's great. Keep on doing SRV 💜.. LOVE IT.. AGAIN, THX, 💜🎶🎵🎸🎵🎼💜
Stevie Ray is enjoying this, and that is what music means to me.
I saw Albert King several times in Carbondale illinois and at some Chicago Blues bars. I've seen many now deceased Blues players in my life. If there's anything I wouldn't change in my life, all the musicians I saw and met in person are something I'll never regret.
Cool ☺
Great video! Two of the great bluesmen 😎
Thanks!
Is no one going to mention the Tree of Gondor sweater? I see you Fil...😉
Haha thanks!
Another Excellent, Insightful Video.
Saw Albert and Stevie many times an Antones
There will Never be another SRV ~ RIP !!
Amen.
You can really hear Albert King's influence on Stevie Ray Vaughn's playing in this video.
👍
You can just see how much respect they have for each other which is really cool no competition just playing blues having fun
Yeah!
My favorite line "Come on punk" - Albert King to SRV, Stevie had absolutely nothing but pure respect for Mr King (and many other bluesman of King's era). I saw SRV the night before he died. Him, Clapton, Jimmy V, Robert Cray, Jeff Healy, Buddy Guy, and I was far too drunk to recall the others, sorry. Sadly I was also too stupidly drunk to be able to fully appreciate and remember most of the music that was being played. Blues gods were on stage, and I was too stupid to stop and a nice buzz.
Thanks for the post I hope someone restores these at some point, they're not bad, but also preserve them a little longer too.
Your analysis and explanations are spot on bro, real talk....you almost sound like my Jazz Band director, Mr. Bill Nicolosi, who aside from Maynard Ferguson, was the greatest trumpet player I've heard, and he was really into the teaching of not just reading the sheet music, but being aware of and able to read the other soloists cues and nuances and seamlessly blending in with the rhythm section and horns from one soloist to the next...I thoroughly enjoy your vids bro....
Thanks!
🔥😪Saw Stevie LIVE a few weeks b4 he was gone...with Jeff Beck...when Stevie came out, it was if Jeff Beck had NEVER been there...Stevie was SMOKING HOT 🔥 so was "Double Trouble" behind him...TOTAL perfection 👌
Albert King played an upside down guitar with the high E on the top. It came from having to borrow a guitar from a right handed friend when he was young. He even invented his own way of playing chords upside down.
Hi Fil . Stevie Ray always amazing . Seen him
live in 1984 . He did a twenty minute solo for
Mary had a little lamb . It was insain kool .
Later...Richie
Cool!
Saw Albert play in a bar in upstate New York 25 years ago. Must have had a 50 foot cord on his guitar because the place was narrow and deep and he took off playing his lead guitar moseying out through the crowd to the back. Came right by me, totally immersed in what he was doing. It was awesome!
Cool!
Albert King is without doubt a blues legend. The master and his tutor.
this is genuinely one of my favorite videos...two grates!!!
👍
I was lucky to see Albert King as guest star for Gary Moore on the Still Got The Blues Tour at Hammersmith, it was truly great to listen to two totally different generations of blues players, Albert the old school minimalist player and Gary the rock come blues player with his in your face tone from his Les Paul. It was a magical night and one that will stay in my memory for ever.
Awesome!
Soul To Soul Can Watch This Over And Over Ultimate Jamming
Same here!!
👍
Back for a 2nd look ✊🏼.. Beautiful work Fil!
Just uncovered a wad of concert tickets in a shoe box w/ a rubber band around them in my garage. The best memory came back when I found a Bill Graham Presents a double bill SRV & Jeff Beck! Smoking show.
It really is magical to watch. Once again I’m all about respect for each other. Both blues Monsters but they let each other of the leash for a romp. As a result ....greatness! Stevie must have felt like a kid in the candy store at Christmas to be up there trading energy with his idol. Awesome Fil. On a serious not though....Fil I will play the cowbell for you. Don’t hesitate to ask, I’m in😂
😂👍
I gotta tell ya, I feel the need for more COWBELL!
I'm really happy Fil that you did this analysis using part of that 15 minutes of guitar legendary, I enjoy you breaking it down as it helps me to understand what I have always loved!Thanks a bunch for also putting up the link to the five minute video of them having fun with each other and talking about the past, there's a really sweet moment when Albert King mentions when young Stevie would come up on the stage and Albert would tell him to play instead of just standing there and looking at me♡
Thanks Greg!
How lucky was I to see AK live in concert at the Fillmore in SF in ‘69!
Cool!
Check out when Johnny Copeland played with SRV at Monteux '85 and they jammed "Look at little sister". Awesome. Watching both play lead at the same time, incredible.
Thanks!
Wings of Pegasus I need to correct my spelling, it's Montreux.
Albert King always had such a wonderful tone. One of my all time favorites. ❤️
👍
This was recorded in my home town's television studio. It
was a show that brought two different artists together for a performance . In session it was called . Great CD of this called In Session.
Lucky enough to see Stevie twice . Albert is great wish I would have seen him.
Awesome!
Just discovered you. So nice to see someone not in my generation appreciate and articulate about past music in such a good way.
Thanks!
'Nuther nice one, Fil! Mountain Top performance.
Funny watching Stevie bend up and Albert bend down. Here's an interesting interview of Stevie's guitar tech, Rene Martinez. Gives you a little insight into just how strong those hands were:
..." I refretted the guitar maybe once a year, and I replaced the ivory nut probably as many times. You can't use the same nut once you refret the guitar - the action would be too low.
"The last time I refretted it, I told him it would be the last time. He asked me why and I told him that I had to plane to fingerboard every time I put new frets in. He would really dig in; he not only wore the frets out, but he would wear out some of the wood, as well."...
"You used to put jumbo-sized frets on the guitar, right?
"Yes. He used to use medium-sized frets, but he'd wear them out, so I said, 'You're probably better off with jumbos.' That way, I could work with them through the year, reshape them so he could continue to play. He enjoyed them - they gave him more access to sliding up and down."...

Cool! Rene's a legend!
Requested this a while back on a live stream. I'm glad to see you react to it, although I don't mind a 20 to 25 minute video, just for these two legends lol.
Yeah it would be cool to have a bit more time for these vids!
One of my favorite videos on youtube. I've watched it dozens of times. Thrilled you reviewed it.
No problem!
If I could suggest a video for you, perhaps this performance of Big Love by Lindsay Buckingham. The solo while also playing the baseline hurts my brain. ruclips.net/video/mZZp76M4NGc/видео.html
I have only just learned, to my utter amazement, that SRV was 5'5"! Never heard that in all these years...how is that not part of the legend?! Speechless. Albert King was 6'4", and if you look at 9:40 you get a good look at the two of them in the same shot, something the director seems to have avoided. Fil, you mention that Albert's hands engulf the guitar, and they've got more reach than SRV. As it should be, then, but Stevie's hands must be huge for his size! But he was 5'5"...I'll never get over it.
Fil you make a great point at the end of the video, about reverting to muscle memory at a certain speed threshold. Very insightful, and a good fact to remember when listening or watching someone play, because you might know something about how much they're putting into it.
Great video, lots of good stuff. Thanks.
You're so right! Stevie had the perfect blues voice. You can never go wrong listening to SRV. Would've loved to see Stevie and Billy Gibbon play together. Proud Texan
👍
I really like your presentations with your differentiated comments and hints full of skilfulness, musical experience and knowledge, and all of it garnished with your genuine appreciating, joyful and fresh attitude! Just keep on the good work!
Thanks Peter!
Love you videos Fil. Just the right amount of technical guitar playing talk to go with your obvious love of these players. Thanks man.
A great blues summit!
The teacher and his protege.
2 generations of blues history!
Amen!
I was lucky enough to see SRV in concert in the early 80’s. Blew the roof off!
Awesome!
His vibrato on those thick strings was insane.
👍
These two are just fantastic together....it always amazes me though how massive and huge SRV's tone is here ......Albert's always seems to be bigger ......Flying V .....strung upside down so he is pulling down on the bends ...not up ....overdriven amp ......and in case you didn't notice a good dose of Phase 90 for Albert.....that hollow chewy tone is killer !
Always have loved his voice!!
Fil,
You add so much depth to every video. Love it
Thanks!
Albert King was an absolute master.
Fil, I can tell you that Stevie Ray's hands were just massive. I got to meet him once at a record store album signing. He ran out of time, and couldn't sign for everyone, but he said he wanted to thank everyone so he shook everyone's hand. I took some great pictures and got to shake his hand and that was the thing that really stood out to me was the size of his hands.
Awesome!
Another priceless piece Fil.
You could watch it over and over!!!
Rock on!!!
Amen!
Cool vid. One story i recall was SRV in a Texas studio and Albert King shows up and says "Why don't you give me $300 for all those lines you stole from me?" Stevie pulled out a hand ful of cash and gave it to Albert. Before this vid? Maybe.
Over time, Texas Flood then Blues At Sunrise from Albert. Ha, latter recorded where SRV waS infamously booed off the stage, Montreaux. He recovered.
😂👍
This Jam session is incredible, the best i ever heard.
Great session!!! Mr.King passing the torch, sadly both of these greats would be gone in less than ten years😔
Yeah gone way too soon.
Fil, I can't keep up with you and your selections. So damn much. But seriously I do love them all. It just keeps going for me with these pieces. It makes me happy to find those such as you that can appreciate and bring out the nuances of the chords and playing of the artists who could actually bring it.
Thanks!
Excellent stuff and I love the way they Converse while they weave classic Blues thank you Phil
No problem!
I have watched this video several times. It is unbelievable.
👍
I had to give a listen again to your take on this clip, I've got the whole session now and it's just a blast. I read that Albert King was 6' 7" and was nicknamed the (Velvet Bulldozer) !!
