STEVIE was probably the only person Albert let play with him, as in a interview with Stevie's brother Jimmy said when STEVIE was 17 he was the only one that had the courage to walk up and ask Albert to set in with them. Jimmy said Albert didn't like anybody, he didn't care who you were, even if you were B B King but he liked STEVIE RAY. You can see the love and admiration between those 2. STEVIE said in a interview that ALBERT said STEVIE was the only white man with a black daddy and he was him!💜💜💜

"Albert King didn't like anybody else, but he liked Stevie"..........Jimmie Vaughan (Stevie's brother)

One last thing that blows my mind watching this is even as great as STEVIE RAY VAUGHN was he's so focused on Albert Albert he's almost in a trance. That's his Godfather, his greatest mentor 💜💜💜

SRV ~ 🎸🐐 Everyone thinks that Hendrix was Stevie's #1 influence, but it's quite obvious that Albert was his #1 influence. Hell, Albert became Stevie's godfather!

Love this session...but sad too...Albert loved Stevie & Stevie loved Albert...yes i really like when Albert glances at Stevie an smirks like he knows he's seeing greatness & Stevie is off on another realm...he's left the room lol but when Albert plays or talks to him Stevie looks at him like a son who's hanging on every word of a dad he idolised. Albert says during the session "you're good...but you gonna be better...an i'll be there watching..." like a proud daddy...so sad how Stevie died, noone saw it coming & Albert couldnt perform his concert the night he heard 'little Stevie' (thats what Albert called him) was killed 😔 2 Greats...RIP 💞🤟🏼 United in love, jammin above x

Stevie's idol and mentor. You can hear some of Alberts licks when Stevie plays. Tasty! 😎👌

Albert King was one of the true bluesman. He's one of the 3 Kings, Albert, B.B. & Freddie King. The whole show is incredible. I met an older guy a few years ago & he told me he used to be the head of the K.C. blues society & was the one that paid the performers after their show. When it came time to pay Albert, he laid a small pistol on the table & said make sure you count my money correctly.

That whole session is a privilege to watch.

We all smile like you when we hear jams like this ...it's impossible not to. Thank god somebody thought to record music like this back in the day. Get down.

I was at Albert Kings last performance. He was a major influence to many famous guitar players, but you can hear his influence in almost all SRV’s music. Great performance by two of the best!

I love this one. Stevie had so much love, admiration and respect for his idols. Albert King being at the top of that list. Would you please consider reacting to SRV Life Without You live from the Capitol Theater? You will see Stevie Ray lose a tooth towards the end and mouth to his crew off stage, “lost my tooth, gone”. And grin to show them. One of my most favorite SRV performances

Combination of the voice and instrument outstanding!!! Great job!

As others have pointed out, Albert King was his own man and didn't cotton to a lot of these young bucks. But Stevie held his own with the blues legend at Antone's down in Austin and he became Stevie's friend and mentor. After Stevie's career caught fire and took off, he went back and bought Albert King a deluxe Madden Cruiser tour bus since the old man kept working till he died. That's the kind of guy Stevie was, apparently never forgetting where he came from and who got him to where he ended up going.

Love the bass guitar in this song!

Even though you don't have time to do this whole session you should watch in your own time. You would appreciate the pair. Father and Son no blood required.

I love anything from Stevie Ray Vaughan 🔥and Albert King 👑

A lot of people have covered this song, but it will always be Albert King's 🤟🎸

Major props to the bass player, too. That dude was SOLID!

Good choice. Nice to see someone review something different besides El Macambo or Austin City Limits. In Session is wonderful. All the songs they did on this. 👍❤ P.S. I'm not getting notifications even though I have the bell set to all.

Fun Fact: The iconic riff comes from the original Albert King version. The back up band was Booker T and the MGs who came up with the driving riff. They had big crossover hits with Green Onions and Hip Hugger.

Albert Collins- the 'iceman' live or Joe Bonamassa-live or Buddy Guy-live, brother. Great reaction! This is my kinda jam right here! Love blues, and these are 2 GOATS that genuinely cared and respected each other.

Do their "DON'T LIE TO ME " Its amazing

Albert is so incredibly good I will have to listen to him a lot more.

I love the fact that Albert encourages him to roll because he knows what's coming

I saw that Session 1000 Times and this 2 Legends will be allways life on in my Heart!

Bizmatic, I'm telling everyone about you,you the man.

Wonderful music miss them RIP

The amount of movies this song is in is ridiculous. Such a great song with two of the best.

Albert king great blues guitar and his idol

Try Stevie Ray and Johnny Copeland doing Tin Pan Alley

They loved each other.

Albert King’s hands were so big he looks like he’s playing a hello kitty guitar.

Don’t Lie To Me is a good one from this performance ☮️💜

After 30 years I just learned that Mr. King not only played left handed but also strung his stings like it was upside down. His top fret was his bottom, re-watch it. Now that blew my mind.

Damn!! How'd I miss this!! Soo goood. Nice job on the reaction.

💙 to be a fly on the wall 💙

Listen to them play "Stormy Monday" please.

I actually saw Cream do this in CHICAGO in67.🤠

Albert King was a GOAT !

perfection

FIRST TIME HEARING Stevie Ray Vaughan Texas Flood REACTION HE PLAYED BEHIND HIS BACK!!! - KZfaq

Matchbox blues from in session srv and Albert king

Albert is quite the guitarist too, that dude learned to play a right handed guitar left handed. All the strings are reversed the high notes on top and the bass notes at the bottom. Blows my mind as 50 year old man who can barely play right handed.

Albert's a lefty but when he started playing he just flipped over that flying v gibson but left the strings with fat ones on the bottom so actually plays upside down

GOOD REVIEW BRO!, BEST MUSIC FOR EVER!

And one thing I always respected about Stevie ray no matter who he played well even though he was better guitarist and they were he let them shine and he held back he did and another words he gave them the respect because they were older that’s a man that’s what I call a man anyway you don’t have to eat don’t have to tell everybody that you’re great mailman doesn’t have to tell me that I am great every day he shows it to me we’ve been together 40 years I’ve been a widow twice and this is my boyfriendIf you want to know a little bit more about me I will put it to you like this I am I have broad and I know what I’m talking about when I do talk and believe me I don’t look my age you’d be very surprise Liz the queen

Albert was Stevie's God father. He said "Little Stevie is the only white boy with a black daddy...and that daddy is me!" You can here Albert in SRV playing...more so than Jimi Hendrix or other greats.

I've been watching this for many years and I'm sure Mr King says c'mon punk??? I know Steve grew up with him?

Please notice Albert King is left handed but plays a right hand guitar without re-stringing it,meaning he has the thinnest string on top....

@Watch BizMatik Please check out Stevie Ray Vaughan, Albert King, Paul Butterfield, and B. B. King all playing together. It is amazing as well! And another SRV song you could check out, is "The House is Rockin'".

Born under a bad sign Been down since I begin to crawl If it wasn't for bad luck You know I wouldn't have no luck at all

☮️💜.

what about the bassist? man, that bass line is just perfect

Should do the Jimi Hendrix version also 👍

Again 👍

After it was over I looked down and noticed that I got some on me. Funky.

Because I forgot to tell you that in the concert up there is a whole concert where are Albert BB King a Stevie Ray Vaughan a James Titus night Shaka can all of them are together see if I can take that one off live it’s fabulous and ever king a.m. era James is my favorite singer I love her I love her through her trials and tribulations and I love her till the day I die Ike it’s a first real sol sol sol song that I heard in my heart that touched me her first song when she was 14 at last but I like all her songsSugar on the floor I’d rather go blind is one of my favorites when she does it in Monterey I am a Sunday kind of love trust in me anything from her she’ll always be my favorite let’s the queen Liz the queen I wish Siri can’t spell

Most of that record stevie holds back out of respect but a couple times he turns up the heat and almost knocks Albert off his chair.

Albert King is BB Kings brother older brother Stevie Ray learned a lot from them they excepted Stevie Ray lovingly Stevie Ray is the only one that is in the blues Hall of Fame white boy and nobody has ever beat them because nobody can play like I am his own brother I’ll tell you that there’s a biography on KZfaq that I’ll tell you all about it now the other thing are is from this concert is crying in the sky you should be playing that Liz the queen

Anyone could pick up those same guitars and play a little- but the TRUE GENIUSES are the only ones that could make them sound THAT way- check out BB King playing with Buddy Guy and Eric Clapton from the mid 2000’s- perfect example... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aLCJY5CYzrG7lmQ.html

Find me this is the sky is crying I got it mixed up sorry darling
