    Albert King was inducted to the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame in 2013. His daughter and his granddaughter got up and spoke and talked about the relationship between Albert and SRV and that they were always at the house jamming together and that at times BB King was also there… could you imagine three of the greatest guitar players jamming together and feeding off of each other, man I would’ve loved to of been there.

    What you're missing is that it is clear that Stevie is laying down in this session for Albert. He was so respectful of the people that came before him that he would never embarrass them by playing his best. It would be too much for Albert's ego and he knew it... It is a kindness that you see him do with many older guys that he played with...

    Stevie absolutely loved the great blues men of yesterday. They were his hero's. When Srv became famous he always talked about these great men. His band tells the story of them doing a gig in Colorado and when they got there Stevie saw BB King was opening for him and he became infuriated and said This is wrong just wrong I should be opening for him. He tried hard to get it changed but they wouldn't. He told his people this should never happen again ever.

    Love and respect flowing both ways here. Albert was not the kind of guy who let anyone on stage with him, but he loved Stevie as a son. A few years later, in an interview, Stevie called Albert his godfather. Interview says Wait, What? Stevie told him the story of when they were playing a show together and Albert told the crowd "Ain't but one white boy with a black daddy, and I'm his." Priceless.

    I saw BB King play in a little bar in San Juan Capistrano a week after SRV died. He was in tears and said it felt like losing a son. It was one of the most heartfelt shows I have ever seen. The blues wept that night and even today I can still feel the pain of that performance.

      ​@@markd4926 It was 34? years ago on a trip to visit my aunt. But it sounds right. I remember sitting at a fairly small table. and BB King made a point of saying that he never thought he would see the day when he had to sit down to finish a show. For some reason that stuck with me all these years.

      Can't remember the interview but Stevie's testimony was he was a 12 yr old dishwasher and he stood on a 55 gallon barrel of used oil and fell through due to the boards being saturated with oil. Right then and there 2 cooks brought out 2 fresh vats of boiling oil. He stated had he not took his break early he'd been " A fried guy" I decided right then and there I wanted to play like Albert King. Thank you Albert. R-E-S-P-E-C-T!!!!!!!

    When you see Stevie solo on the low strings he was showing respect. He absolutely loved Albert King. Look at the way he watches and listens to him. He always laid back a little with these blues legends out of respect. You don't outshine a legend. Stevie took the blues very seriously and respected pioneers like Albert King.

    • @1719456
      @1719456 Рік тому +15

      My thought exactly. couldn't have said it better myself, RC. Stevie was always humble, but in the presence of the ''greats'', he showed how truly respectful he was. Also, worth noting, these two Gentlemen are the most ''chill'' reactors that I have seen yet. That is why I subscribed.

      Albert King was hIs Hero. He NEVER tried to outshine any of his idols EVER. There was a show where they put BB KING on before and he went nuts. He said BB King will never open for me again.
      Jimi took a lot from Albert king…. The bending and the sliding back and fourth on the neck.
      I’ll give you guys a like.. I appreciate what you guys are doing but I can’t watch be reviewed…. I need to be alone to watch this stuff. Uninterrupted.
      Thanks for keeping these guys names relevant… Albert was truly one of the best…. and Stevie goes without saying.

      Albert King was considered Stevie Ray Vaughan 's Godfather. At 17 he asked to sit in with Albert King on stage , Mr. Albert King was going to show ,in his own words " skinny little white boy " up , but Stevie Ray Vaughan started playing Albert King 's signature licks and matched him lick for lick.

    To hear Albert coach Stevie up like a grandfather would his grandson is priceless. And to see Stevie soak up every word like an eager grandson is a beautiful thing as well. (Albert was Stevie's self-proclaimed godfather)

    Albert King is blues royalty, and I love seeing the deference from Stevie. Paying close attention to what Albert is telling him, and then we know a hundred stories where Stevie is out there trying to live those lessons. Of course you can also see Stevie wanting to impress. Wanting to make the old man proud. And if you've ever wondered what inspired Stevie's amazing bending technique, look no further than Albert King.

    SRV had such genuine love and respect for Albert King that I think Albert couldn't help but reciprocate. SRV had similar relationships with other OG blues greats like BB King, Buddy Guy, Albert Collins, Lonnie Mack and so on.
    One of my biggest regrets in life is that I never saw SRV live. I did have the opportunity in 1989 but got tied up with life and figured I'd catch him the next time around. There wasn't a next time...
    I'm super grateful that we have these recordings that capture a small part of these two giants and their relationship.

I was in Alpine Valley the day before he played is last show there for Dire Straits. I can't even remember if I knew SRV was playing there the next night, but when the news hit, I realized the incredible mistake I had made. Also, thank you for your service, Sgt!

    Albert King actually became Stevie Ray's Godfather, if you watch the hole show you'll see Albert King looking around at everyone with a big smile on his face and when their performing Texas Flood Stevie Ray got Albert King off his stool and starts jammin with Stevie Ray. Albert King was playing at a place called Anton's owned by Clifford Antone, Stevie Ray went into Anton's and asked Clifford to ask Albert King If he could sit in but Albert King said no but Stevie never gave up and finally Albert King said bring him up and the rest is history. Everyone said Albert King didn't like anybody but e loved and respected Stevie Ray. Stevie Ray's guitar was an old beat up guitar when he bought it from his friends guitar shop named Ray Henny guitar shop, it was owned by another musician named Christopher Cross.

Been there done that watching him dozens of times!!!!! Pure talent and emotions!!!! Just an unbelievable performer and Double Trouble ruled as his band!!!! So talented!!!!! As BB King said in amazement after playing with him once (BB was a great influence on Stevie when he was growing up and definitely wasn’t a slouch on playing Blues), we blues guitarist play in sentences and Stevie plays in paragraphs!!!!!

    Awesome job, my brothers..... Stevie was the only one Albert allowed to sit in with him in the 80's at the behest of Clifford Antone, owner of Antone's in Austin.... I think Stevie was 17 at the time. Albert was Stevie's Godfather. Albert was known as "The Velvet Bulldozer".... he was a huge man, with a gruff disposition. But, he loved Stevie from the get go. Watch all of the videos from this made for Canadian TV show ..... legendary performances and their interactions between songs is really sweet and encouraging to Stevie. Albert was his idol. Joe Bonamassa now owns Albert's Flying V guitar seen here and plays it regularly.... check out Joe playing it on "Breaking Up Somebody's Home" and "Born Under A Bad Sign" , both Albert's tunes, live in London. It's effing cool guys!

This whole recording called "In Session" is on a DVD video and I play it a lot. Stevie is like a kid in a candy store playing with Albert. The whole session is a Treasure of Pleasure🎶🎸💯. You can pick any song from this session and can't go wrong. Stevie had just finished playing a 2 hour concert up in Canada and came in for this session. If you ever do Texas Flood from this session, it is a rocking good time with exchanging leads and riffing back and forth like crazy, but when Stevie sings you can hear his voice is going from overuse at this point. I subbed from your very first Stevie Ray and am really enjoying your journey with the awesome and one and only Stevie Ray🎸💙‼️

There is a fan shot video of him playing Hendrick's "Red House" and he is joined on stage by Samantha Fish and Kingfish Ingram, two right handed guitarists and they hand Eric's guitar back and forth, Eric playing left handed and the others right handed. Also, Joe Bonamassa (big time guitar collector) has Albert King's Flying V guitar and still plays it. Check him out playing it on Albert's song "I'll Play The Blues For You". Thanks for another great reaction video!

      Doyle Bramhall II also played left-handed and upside down. He's an Austin guitar player who has played a lot with Clapton and with Roger Waters (post-Pink Flyod) and for a brief shining moment in the early 90's he had a band called Arc Angels that was made up of him, Charlie Sexton another Austin guitarist, and the Double Trouble rhythm section that played with SRV. They still get together and play short tours occasionally - I saw them last year at Antone's here in Austin. Doyle and Charlie would swap guitars a lot and do the same thing you describe Eric Gale and the others doing.

    I'm glad you found this on film. it's neat watching how King played and watching him do it on his legendary Flying-V. He put that guitar on the map and his is beautiful. I love watching Stevie play as well, he was a beast while keeping an almost boyish giddiness, you could see he was having fun. Right on guys, great choice.

    Dang. Watching SRV looking and respecting Mr King , just a class act
    When you get an absolute phenomenal player like Stevie and he sits next to a legend and knows his place - Very cool

    They recorded this whole session I think it's called Sessions. There is alot of history between these 2 Albert used to let Stevie sit in on his spots in Austin(this was unheard-of). SRV had so much respect for all of the OG's and would play with them any chance he got. This recording was kinda of Albert showing the blues world hey Y'all got to give this White Boy some respect, and for SRV or was an honor just to play with him.

    I would like to thank you guys for your attention to the vid, I've been a blues player for 35 years, and I loved whenever srv and Albert plays together, can you imagine them at Antones when he was a kid, and Albert never let nobody up on stage with him. But he let Stevie up there as a teen. So they go way back, you have to remember this, and Stevie and Freddie King and Albert king was the base of srv besides Clapton

    I feel it was a serious fuel for my soul. S.R.V. is my absolute favorite. Saa hundreds of real good guitarist. Clapton, BB, cray, page ect but when I saw Stevie it was spiritual to say the least. Last time months before his passing and it was magical. Clean he was and on fire. Insane set. Cant imagine anyone possibly better ever. GOD took him early cuz there was nothing more to learn.....RIP SRV

    SRV is one of the very few artists who Albert King would let sit in with him. It started when Stevie was just a kid. His brother Jimmy Vaughn brought him to a club in Houston when Stevie was 15….

    Did you notice that Albert King was NOT using a pick??? Just thought I'd point that out after you asked about SRV in the Texas Flood vid. Please watch "Lenny" from the El Mocambo show, it's all instrumental. Thanks.

    Guys, you have got to buy this CD! (It's called Albert King and Stevie Ray Vaughan in Session.)
    It's an entire session about an hour and a half long.
    I had... well, the single most tragic moment of my music life with this album! It's my favorite, I played it over and over and over and had it so long that the jacket had actually started to turn white.
    One morning, Saturday morning you know cleaning day? I reached up to pick up the album and I'd put it on the shelf backwards.
    When I went to take it out of the sleeve, the album rolled out and hit the floor right on its edge and shattered into four pieces!
    I cried for a week! It wasn't on cd, it was an LP and irreplaceable.
    The late great Albert King is my favorite artist of all time. The year I was born, 1968, he was a group called STAX and he wrote a song called Born In a Bad Sign.
    Turns out that song's been the theme song for my entire life!
    Albert King is the man who gave Janis Joplin the title "Queen of the Blues"
    Long before Jimi Hendrix ever did it, Albert King played the upside down backwards reverse string guitar because he is a lefty and they are were so few left-handed guitars made back in the 40s 50s and 60s that they just had to improvise.
    This whole set is absolutely amazing! Not only did Albert and Stevie play together, Albert was Stevie's mentor and man oh man does it show!

    Always a treat to see SRV with one of the blues legends that he idolized. Albert Kings vocals are insane........... I just love his tone. What a treat watching these two artists trade back and forth. This video was early on in SRVs career, Dec 1983. He made a lot of headway in just 7 years b4 his untimely death in a helicopter crash in 1990. Many insist SRV was well on his way of becoming a living legend at the time of his death. Another rare talent that left us way too early.

    Out freaking Standing .. I have this CD and it's one of my very favorites ... RIP Brother Albert King and SRV ... Stevie Ray always paid respect to the Greats ... The Almond Brothers were the first band to turn me onto the Blues.. Every concert I went to they had a Buddy Guy or a Taj Mahal on stage with them .. Unfortunately I was never able to see SRV live ... Great reaction fellas

    • @bigkw1568
      @bigkw1568 Рік тому

      Part of the sound difference has to do with the way they played ... The older blues players only used their fingers .. SRV was picking the strings ... Hence the term pickers .. It makes the notes sharper also .. Not taking anything away from Brother Albert ..

    Stevie had several big influences in his style: his brother Jimmie, Hendrix, Buddy Guy, T-Bone Walker, Lonnie Mack but among all of them I feel like Albert King was a special one. Stevie had to enjoy playing and recording with one of his biggest idols.

    Stevie used really thick gauge strings especially in his early years through time he did use thinner gauge strings but still thicker then most guitarist will ever use, plus his strings were extremely high from the neck which required a lot of strength and abuse to play the guitar but that’s how Stevie played. He said he plays the guitar like he’s trying to break out of prison.
