I have Freddie King as my third favorite guitarist of all time behind SRV and Jimi. I've seen many, but I don't see too many more naturally born and gifted guitarists than Freddie King. Alien from the planet Guitar. Just awesome. Gone way too soon.
Got to see Freddie in.1974 was a great show he had my all time favorite guitarist Johnny Winter with him. I just had bought a new Nikon and got Awesome pictures RIP two Legends
In the early 70's a friend and I were trying to put together a set list. He played this and we both immediately agreed to add it. He is a huge fan of Freddie King and always plays his stuff on the money. You'd be surprised how many people appreciate that. Brings back incredible memories.
@@mauriziolipparini9906 I think we're both wrong here, his main guitar was a Gibson ES-345. That looks like his main guitar based on what I could find. Always fun learning history behind these guitarists.
If you want to see more dancing,singing and playing at the same time then look into miyavi. His old stuff is primarily Japanese if you're ok with that but his newer stuff is mostly English. I reccomend starting with "what's my name"
Freddie King has one of the most easily-recognizable guitar techniques and is arguably one of the finest blues singers from the electric modern age - it really doesn’t get much better than this
This song is the Gold Standard of Blues Guitar playing. You can’t even call yourself a Blues Guitarist until you’ve learned every note of this Masterpiece.
Legendary player, iconic song, great performance and killer go-go dancer. Love the Peter Gunn riff tossed in there. BTW, did a little googling and learned this is from a short-lived TV show called The!!! Beat. Yeah, three exclamation points after the word "the". Hosted by DJ Bill "Hoss" Allen, it featured a ton of great blues and R n B artists. Clarence Gatemouth Brown was the house band leader. It's apparently available on DVD, seems worth checking into...
I don't know why but that riff Freddie plays at 1:22 gets me a little teary eyed, its just so beautiful. Freddie really knew how to put emotion into his playing.
I was just listening to this album on shuffle because a friend recommended it to me. When this part hit I just stopped. "What in the world was that". Came here to see if I could find it live straight after. Beautiful little lick.
Freddie made every song he did an EVENT. Triple threat. Expressive singer with great pitch and a smooth falsetto, guitar chops as strong as any of The Kings, and one hell of an entertainer and party starter. In my view, his original recording of "Have You Ever Loved a Woman?" is the definitive version. His octave jumps into falsetto still brings chills.
Of all the Three Kings, I think Freddie is the one who is the most versatile and the most fun to listen to. One of the all time greats and one among those who's name and works shall be commemorated in the Great Blues Pantheon.
He IS one of "Three Kings of Guitar: Freddy King, B.B. King, and Albert King". No familial relation, but all three ARE the three (electric) blues kings.
@@Magnificent-Stranger Totally agree with what you say about his versatility. Whether it's quick blues like here or tough blues - it sounds great. I get in a good mood when I hear his music.
Clapton is a two bit hack who stole everything he knows about the blues from Freddie. The other stuff he does and did is him but he don’t know shit about American Blues.
Started going to see Mr Freddie King in 1968 at Ms. Christens Hideaway club small Blues club off Webberville road in Austin it was always playing just as he did in the big Show's just a little more personal Amazing for sure....
Clapton's version is really good, I think. The recording is great and you can hear exactly what he is doing. Well worth listening to, particularly if you are interested in playing this song.
You’re not wrong - I think it can be directly traced back to Clapton lifting all of these, and then everyone hearing him play them over and over for the last sixty years.
Just the perfect song for the beginning of the week-end. Relax with family, friends my pets ans my girlfriend with a good beer. Long live blues musi ! From France 23.04.2021.
Freddie King has one of the most easily-recognizable guitar techniques and is arguably one of the finest blues singers from the electric modern age - it really doesn’t get much better than this hear him play this song on the original Gibson goldtop Les Paul
How about Mick Taylor, Driving Sideways, off Crusade, John Mayall. Another Freddie King cover. He was only 17 years old when he joined the Bluesbreakers.
@@lbowsk of course you are self-overrated (as a writer) to dare say that. You obviously don't know his career. At least in 1966, nobody could play this number the way he did, that, s why he became famous (no marketing or media then)
Boss ,!! I discovered Freddie King at 15 years old and went "Thata way". No Lite Pop, no Beatles. Stones were the Only Band you would have heard of that I was into, the World was never the same.
I use to see Freddie King at the Armadillo World Headquarters in Austin Texas, he played there a couple of times a year and man he was great, he died way to young, RIP Freddie King
@@breidems The Armadillo World Headquarters was too hot 🔥 in the summer and freezing cold in the winter but man they had the best real nachos and cold Lone Star and the best bands in the world on their stage , a great music venue, God Bless Eddie Wilson
@@breidems Great acts at the Armadillo World Headquarters, saw Boz Scaggs, a young Joe Ely , John Prine , Marshall Tucker, all the great acts played there , Frank Zappa etc, Jerry Garcia and Merely Saunders played there a lot , and I saw Jerry with his band play there several times, also just tons of great bands and they had great food in the Beer Garden during the day, you could eat and later smoke a joint, just a great place
Freddie King bears his surname rightly. And the band - talented musicians who are very well sampled. But I also want to give praise to those dancers on stage. I'm not really interested in dancing and I don't like dancing myself either. But what these (go-go) dancers do is really good. They are like part of the band.
The 3 Kings of Blues royalty. B.B. KING, ALBERT KING, AND FREDDIE KING.
not quite,Albert Collins,Freddie and Albert
Willy Dixon
@@JuanLopez-ef5pr Last name not.King.
Absolutely right, the 3 Kings of blues , love it ❤❤
4th is still in his own way to the top....Marcus King
RIP Freddie King (September 3, 1934 - December 28, 1976), age 42
You will be remembered as a legend.
Left this world “far” to early.
What a legend Freddie king was a guitarist who was like kind of a bb king clone but he was a real guy
If I had a time machine, this would be one of my stops.
Mine too,!... Have you seen the episode where Otis Redding is the MC?
Don’t need a time machine I was there in the 50s and 60s
A big part of Freddie's musical charm is his penchant for these fine blues instrumentals.
I have Freddie King as my third favorite guitarist of all time behind SRV and Jimi. I've seen many, but I don't see too many more naturally born and gifted guitarists than Freddie King. Alien from the planet Guitar. Just awesome. Gone way too soon.
Had a chance to see him in 74, didn't and before long he was gone, nobody better
Got to see Freddie in.1974 was a great show he had my all time favorite guitarist Johnny Winter with him. I just had bought a new Nikon and got Awesome pictures RIP two Legends
Up all night with Freddie King
I got to tell you, poker's his thing
We’re An American Band!
Freddie was a smashing guitar player.
Gerard McDonald thats kinds gay bruh
Mark Anthony stfu
and some
the US despise aristocrats but they have three kings - BB King, Albert King and Freddie King
Do not forget Earl King out of New Orleans, Let the Good Times Roll, Trick Bag, Big Chief
Ben E King
Long live the Kings
And most recently Marcus King, also playing a red Gibson ES :-)
You need to check out the newest king....Marcus King!

If you take only one thing away from this video, it's that Go-Go dancers need to make a comeback
And everyone should have a Gibson ES 335
@@MarekSokal Damn right!
@@MarekSokal I really miss my Turser ES 335 (Gibson copy). Couldn’t play it worth a damn, but it was such a beautiful guitar.

I'm a guitarist, but i love it when Freddie dances, shows how much he is enjoying playing. You don't see that often!
If you want to see more dancing,singing and playing at the same time then look into miyavi. His old stuff is primarily Japanese if you're ok with that but his newer stuff is mostly English. I reccomend starting with "what's my name"
The dancer was getting it in too.
For such a bright 12 bar song its amazing just how much emotion Freddie puts into it, the turnaround is simple but just so amazing.

Rip
@@andrea22213 Hey man, how you doing?
I was most impressed by the saxophone player's commitment to keep swinging his instrument back and forth. :D
I learned the Eric Clapton lead guitar version of this song, it's great, but these pioneers were truly incredible.
Clapton played it slightly different. I saw Stevie Vaughan explain the difference to a novice like me.
@@bobke114 played in a different position, but same key.
Clapton may do his own thing greatly but he can't swing it like this.
Clapton is a two bit hack who stole everything he knows about the blues from Freddie. The other stuff he does and did is him but he don’t know shit about American Blues.
Freddie made that guitar talk. I love the Peter Gunn theme.
Freddie is without a doubt the “man”. I wanna reach into the screen and “borrow “ his 335 for a lifetime. Peace, Rocky
ES-345
I notice he's playing on flatwound strings too lol
Freddie's "Black Beauty" went to the owner of the Hard Rock Cafe for 1700.00.He also has Freddie's 38 he carried on stage.
Awesome! What a great performance! RIP Mr. King!
My favorite king.
THE GUITAR PLAYER TO THE LEFT BEHIND FREDDIE PLAYIN A RICKENBACKER IS CLARENCE GATE MOUTH BROWN
+Travis Peoples The bass player is Billy Cox
+Michael Webb WELL I'LL BE - SURE IS !!!!
really?! great!
THANK YOU FOR THE INFO
Didn't know that. Thanks.
It's still one of the sweetest jams after all these years.
..and still bears repeating.
This is where my favourite guitarist got his inspiration the late great Johnny Winter 👏
My dad’s guy. Music I heard all my life at home.
Oh, Lord!…can’t strand still with this one!…one of the swinginest tunes around!! ❤ What fine playin’!!!
The PBS special, "When Dallas Rocked" brought me here. WOW, Freddie King was a genius.
Rest In Paradise, sir.
Started going to see Mr Freddie King in 1968 at Ms. Christens Hideaway club small Blues club off Webberville road in Austin it was always playing just as he did in the big Show's just a little more personal Amazing for sure....
From a TV show called THE BEAT.. The best R & B from the 60's lots of episodes on youtube y'all gonna love 'em
Love the version Stevie Ray did too! But it's nice to see it the original way.
tedfio1tedfio1 he just had a louder amp.
Clapton and Stevie are bomb as fuck but honestly Freddie does it better I think 👌🏾
Anyone hear Johnny Winter play this?
Clapton's version is really good, I think. The recording is great and you can hear exactly what he is doing. Well worth listening to, particularly if you are interested in playing this song.
Stevie based rude mood off hideaway
I never tire of hearing this and I've been trying for years to master it.
Lord, bless all people with your divine wisdom and compassion. Help them to act with kindness and make a positive impact on the world.
AMEN!!!
beautiful gibson es 335 he's got there! look at the finish with the cool weather checking.
I believe that it’s actually an ES 345.
Freddie is the only King. Albert and BB must bow down to the real King!
The REAL Bluesman. Saw him at East Texas State University around 70. Never forgot that one.
Freddie was so amazing. A superb player and a legend.
So glad this old color video exists. Thanks for posting. Today, this is music history.
Holy cow these guys are good. The gogo dancers are nice to watch, too. 😍🤩
Um pouco de rockabilly, surf music, soul, blues... Contagiante. De mais!

Chuck Berry is the owner of this genre😁

Freddie borowed himself a lot from others for this song.
Literally eh
One of the 10 Greatest guitar players of all time!
I would say 12!!

Love Freddie King!
