One of the best live blues performance ever

Many say he was the greatest. Here's why.

I miss seeing 200lbs brothers wearing custom tailored polyester jumpsuits with that aire of " yeah, so goddamn what about it? "....I loved growing up in the 70s.

If you’ve never weeped listening to blues, this will get you there.

Hard to believe Rolling Stone has Freddie King rated at number 25 of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time. Those dumbasses even put Keith Richards and George Harrison ahead of him. This guy was the King of hard rock-blues guitar. He schooled Clapton.

My favorite of the "KINGS".....Nothing against either BB or Albert....like them both....But Freddie is the man.

Most underrated blues man back in the day.

Played the guitar like he was mad at it. So underrated. He did make the rock hall but his live performances were just incredible. Truly the King of the Blues.

THIS IS A HALL OF FAME PERFORMANCE

Give thanks for Freddie King playing his blues, with all his heart and soul. Indeed!!!

Freddie king lived around the block from me here in Dallas . I went to school with his kids

My God... when he starts singing Lord, Lord at 7:21. WHAT A VOICE!!

I’ve got the blues today and doc Freddie is helping me through ❤

So sad he died at 42. He was a blues beast. A dynamic voice, about didn't need a mic! His music is still so relevant! He just smoked that 335 in this video. I'm grateful that someone had the foresight to save these videos. There are so many greats, but never another Freddy. Sorry Rolling Stone, your numbers are weak. RIP Freddy ❤🎸

The true King of the Blues. Bending strings and bending round the Delta and killing the vocals. Smashing our hearts and minds and swaying our sensibilities. Long may you reign❤️

Crowd higher than Colorado mountains; took them a while to realise The King had graced them with his presence.

Jesus what a voice. Absolutely nailed it.

Freddie fixes the amp for the pianoplayer ... awsome.

Ohhh Yeaaaahh..A true Blues Classic and a Real Blues Artist..Freddie King..WOW...

Texas blues at its finest

Freddie was always ready.

Six minutes into the song the audience realized they were in the midst of a great blues man!

That organ is just beautiful.And the drummer too.Freddie King is so gifted.Perfect performance.

Freddie is the king of the blues if I had to pick.

SAW FREDDIE WHEN I WAS FIFTEEN HE OPENED FOR BB KING QUICK SILVER MESSENGER SERVICE WAS FIRST ON STAGE THEN FREDDIE THEN BB KING IT WAS AWESOME MY FIRST BLUES CONCERT AND I'M FIFTY NINE NOW AND STILL HOOKED ON THE BLUES !

Great licks! Great voice! THE Texas cannonball. Dont forget it😉

We can hear you a Freddie, we can hear you, many more will find him now through KZfaq 🤗 RIP Freddie😔

That MF could FKN sing!

Wow. That is beautiful!! You could easily argue that Freddie was the greatest blues singer of all time.

He gave my friend permanent hearing damage in a bar gig, best day of his life.

FREDDIE PLAYED THE BLUES LIKE NO BODYS BUSINESS, HE HAD THE FINGERS, THE TOUCH, THE TONE, THE STAGE WAS HIS, MAY HE R.I.P. PEOPLE WILL COVER HIS SONGS TILL THE END OF TIME, COUSIN FIGEL

The Most Powerfull KING

Thank God Freddy was born before computers destroyed music. Thank you Mr. King.

No wonder guitar Gods like Hendrix, Clapton and SRV honor him as one of their most important influences. But not only his playing also his vocals - just world class! Not to mention his extreme dynamic arrangement of the slow blues - still audible although youtube heavily compresses everything. I bet, if you were there, it would have been all the range from deafening noise to sudden silence on whisper level. That's what ignites them blues-goose-skin-shivers ...

He sure woke that crowd up! Most powerful voice ever!

I truly believe FK had the best voice of any bluesman EVER ____ powerful ___ but sweet ___ and man could he play

Man, I have about half dozen Lp/CDs of Freddie’s and I just love his attack ,emotion and big voice.And the jumpsuits.

In 1973 I saw Freddie perform in Tallahassee, FL. He opened for Tower of Power. Before then, I think the only blues performers I had seen were Johnny Winter and Jeff Beck. I never forgot Freddie's performance.

this is the blues, are you listening

If you have any true and real emotion and you are honest about how those feelings affect you there is no way you cannot be moved by this performance from this incredible entertainer ! One of the greats . R.I.P Mr. Freddie King .

The very best King is.................... Which ever one I'm currently listening to

This has got to be one of his best performances on KZfaq

LOVE Me Some Freddie..BAAD Dude..R I P Brother..Gone 2 soon..

Hendrix killing it on the Organ. As always.

Now that's the Blues.....makes me proud to be an American!

Best Blues Guitarist with the meanest nylon suit ever!

Incredible! that voice and those tones...

What a helluva performance! ☆☆☆☆☆

Oh my lord this is a “ gem “ for the ages❤

Texas blues at its finest The Most Powerfull KING My God... when he starts singing Lord, Lord at 7:21. WHAT A VOICE!!

wow man what a sound he gets out of that thing ... clean raw and straight from the heart n soul

And the amazing David Maxwell on the piano. Toured with Freddie for a couple of years. r.i.p. (get your psa checked)

The three Kings: Freddie, BB and Albert. The best

Cool that Freddy's humble enough to go fix the microphone that's on the piano that stopped working in the middle middle of the song

This intro made me realize that I never gave this unique, underrated musician the credit that he deserves. I will listen to all of his music all over again with my new, appreciative, EAR!!!

No Damn Iphones at this concert....the 70's were kick ass!

Freddie was the MAN!!. No question about it. He held nothing back.

Man Freddie was something else! Most of those kids didn't know who Freddie was and one song in he's got them eating out of the palm of his hand. I love the piano/B3 setup great, great band and then there's the Texas Cannonball. I sure hope I go to Blues Heaven!!!

FK was so great --- play ----sing -- perform--- his voice was so special !! ----the only blues singer i know that had a 'pretty' voice along with the grit--- he remains i think the greatest blues singer we ever had-- this performance is forever ---RIP FK you were and are forever--- we still listen soul man

Mind blowing performance…🤯🤯🤯

One of the very best guitar tones I ever heard !!!! I love this King

Yes Freddie You Are So Right Ain't Nobody's Business Love Those Blues You Play Hits The 💓 Thank you Freddie 🖤💙🎤🎸

Ooooh my goodness is he powerful, painfully good! Never get tired of listening to this guy sing and play

Of the 3 Kings, Freddie is my fav.

The BEST bluesman from Texas!

Wow man God sure blessed that man with an legendary voice.... Although king was an incredibly talented blues guitar player, his vocals were even greater than that so thoses 2 talents within one person is what created the musical genius and icon that Freddie king was. His music will still be heard centuries from now and beyond. Gone way too soon big man... Ripeace Freddie King.

freddie can play & sing the blues

When he struck the guitar strings you thought they would snap. Strength and Presence!

LOVE LOVE Mr Freddie King..BIG Beautiful Man gone so soon..

Jay McShan owns this song but Freddie King just lived it! Absolutely wailin.'

the best of the king, freddie. bad that he left us too soon.

TEXAS CANNONBALL!!!!

A powerful performance by a blues legend!

Not many guys ever had those pipes WITH those guitar skills. And he dwarfs the big old Gibson

J'avais16ans quand je l'ai vu à Lille en 75 , 1 an après il décéde je pense... quel son et quel doigté...

Clapton´s biggest influence.. and Gibbons´s too - so much for the usual "underrated" crowd 😎 He never needed to play many notes.. just the right ones, and with a passion hardly anyone can surpass or copy

R.I.P. MISTER KING !!!

Yes, my boyfriend is a blues player and he owns this particular guitar you are listening to. Loves it!

Man, the pipes on that guy

Happy to say I got to see Freddie back in the day. Great stuff.

Only my opinion, but Freddie was the king of the Kings.

awesome sound for an older video! Freddie was AMAZING! Love them blues! ps: sun rah 44 I also loved those70s!

Unapologetically my favorite bluesman and favorite of the Kings, a total badass. The most glorious, piercing, nastiest guitar tones I’ve ever heard and man what a fucking powerful voice this man had. My biggest influence and inspiration as a guitarist and musician, R.I.P. Texas Cannonball you were taken way too soon...

I Was there 👉 Day / Night "Epic"🎸😎👊

Sheer power. The Power of Blues. Mr. Freddie King.

AIN'T NOBODY'S BUSINESS - a song made famous by a fine lady long ago...So now ---- leave it to FREDDY KING!! I LOVE HIS POWER OF ATTACK!!!!

Freddie est le plus grand des grands !

I bought the same jump suit back in 1976 on clearance from J.C. Penny for $20.00, I remember it was real comfortable but collar was huge, I got a blue one too. That was back in the day when we would boogie all night long.

Saw him at civic theater SD opened for BB I was fifteen INCREDIBLE SHOW I'M STILL LISTENING TO HIM AFTER ALL THESE YEARS LOVE HIM!!!

Love his playing, really really good. But that voice, holy crap

Never heard of him before tonight.... Goodness gracious!

Great Feeling and great solos by This giant of The inspiring Blues of Eric Clapton 🎸🎸

I don’t know the right words to say about Freddy king to do him justice.simply one of the very best. Thank you 🙏 for your music.

This guy has pure talent. Nobody like him anymore.

Thank god for Freddie King

Awesome.🤩 RIP Mr. Freddie King

You don't to have the blues to listen to the soul of music 🎶

I was still single in 1972, but I sometimes got the blues as Freddie sang. Great rendition live.

Found this VHS tape down the street from BB’s place on Beale St. at the Memphis Music store. Couldn’t believe it was even on tape. Great performance.

Was worth watching this video for that jacket throw!
