@paul west Without his jacket, the contrast of his jacket to the white collars of his shirt is taken care of. Look closely and you will spot the white collars on the closeup shot...
check the clip of him doing "Ain't Nobody's Business" from the same gig at the Sugar Bowl. He brings it in with four notes, then takes off the jacket and takes his time too. Badass as hell.
Absolutely blistering.The connection between his voice,body and guitar is unbelievable.His phrasing is off the dial.Outstanding band.Freddie was a big man but wow he moved beautifully,putting his whole soul into every note.Tooooo good!
I hear so much of Freddie's playing in a lot of guitarists. I'm not sure they even know where the licks they're playing came from. Guy left a huge footprint on modern blues and rock guitar.
Freddie King - This one has better sound than most -- and Freddie has a Quad Reverb and (just in case) a Twin Reverb too. The Texas Cannonball was a force of nature.
Freddie was a force of nature, I "tried" to copy his style . . . semi hollow body (couldn't afford the Gibson ES-345) and metal thumb pick etc . . . his stinging raw sound, loud smooth voice, not many that had the whole package like he did. Damn was he intense, just painfully good! I would sell my soul to play and sing like that! REPLY
What a superstar act , backing band plays on stage ,then freddie comes in like a boxer to the ring,straps on his guitar,starts playing with out missing a beat
I used to be blues radio programmer and host. Luther Allison admired Freddie King. A record company wanted to sign Allison to a big contract. But they wanted him to take the monicer Freddie King Junior. Allison didn't sign with the company. He wanted to be himself and carve his own style of music. After seeing this video, I can tell that Allison borrowed some of King's commanding energy.
I thought that the blues people the fans of blues always thought of Freddie King is being one of the greatest and we are serious about that and it was 1972
Who was on keyboards? I know many over the top musicians play and live in obscurity. I agree Freddie was a force of nature, but I wonder who it was helping him out so much on piano and organ.
Correct, Cliff Works and TurboGibby 2016 ... I used to see Deacon play at Babe's & Ricky's Inn in Leimert Park in Los Angeles in the early 2000s. Still quite a player and showman at that time ... RIP, Deacon. :)
Jumps right into the slamming blues guitar playing, doesn't even take his jacket off. Freddie was the boss.

No slow blues number to warm up. "I'm here, let's burn!"

Quite possibly one of the coolest players born. Seriously.
Yeah, he was definitely a cool cat. The most slamming guitarist/vocalist I've ever seen.
I've never seen nor heard anybody as powerful as Freddie King live in concert..he's greatly missed! dlw
Bruce Lee,Steve McQueen would finish my top 3
Stone cold FACT!
Who are these 9 people giving this a thumbs down ?....hes the BEST emotional guitar player EVER....thumbs UP.
Those guys that think " Chugging....is actually playing the guitar "...LOL 🤣
I'm from Dallas. He played a lot at Mother Blues. He was always the best. R.I.P. Freddie, love you brother.
Caught Freddie on three occasions, without doubt one of the most exciting acts ever.
Although i am a Fender man, i have to admit Gibsons are fine guitars with a sound specialized for rock and blues.
Best guitar player out of " ALL THE KINGS "...TO ME 😎
He’s the king of kings
O melhor dos kings
This is where Clapton got a lot of stuff from....Freddie was the ultimate...so intense and cooler than a warehouse full of fridges....

The best. Absolute master of Chicago Blues.
Freddie had that special feel and touch,very few guitar player,s have!
Freddie King - This one has better sound than most -- and Freddie has a
Quad Reverb and (just in case) a Twin Reverb too.
The Texas Cannonball was a force of nature.
Freddie also played a Fender Super.I have Freddie's amp case he took over to England to cut the "Burglar" record.
Nothing but goosebumps, blues runnin' all through my body ... Mercy!
Sat 25/5/2019....still sounds fresh the great....the brilliant...the one and only Mr Freddie King...rip...simply the best!!!
Fell down a Freddie King rabbit hole, and I can’t get out...
I love all the blues Kings, Albert King, BB King, but Freddie King was the funkiest most soulful out of the three in my book. 😎👍🇺🇸💯
absolute gold
The Gibson ES semi hollow is such a boss blues guitar
Someone needs to remaster this to HD or 4K. This rocks!

Head on down to the crossroads, and ask the guy that shows up at midnight to tune your guitar. You might be able to do it then.
Immediately sets fire to the place.
Blues is Alive + Well NOVEMBER 2023

Freddie and the band were on 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 from this opening song that day - very inspirational for musicians who love to perform.
What a superstar act , backing band plays on stage ,then freddie comes in like a boxer to the ring,straps on his guitar,starts playing with out missing a beat
Those football fans have no idea how lucky there were. This dude cooked, what a jam.
Freddie oozed of soul in his interpretation of the blues
Musicians, should take refuge in this sound and musician !
This is one of those freddie performances where I imagine him playing solo. No band. And still amazeballs.
Great jam! Freddie King is definitely underrated blues star
