Freddie King en Francia (1973) Personal: FREDDIE KING: Guitarra y voz BENNY TURNER: Bajo DEACON JONES: Hammond Organ DAVID MAXWELL:Piano LOUIS MAYERS: Baterìa
Saw Freddie King in Toledo in 1974 as i remember. He was late arriving due to his bus breaking down.We were in the front table next to the stage.FK was a Giant of a Man huge crown belt buckle. (very appropriate) I am 69 yoa and have NEVER seen before or after ANYTHING like Him! GREATEST guitar player EVER and one hell of a vocalist! FIVE ENCORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wonderful to have the memory (and also to be able to revisit it, on CZcams !) I have a few memories of seeing Freddie play live - The 100 Club in Oxford Street,London. I was about 5 foot away from the great man . . . ; ))
I discovered Freddie about 2008 I think, waaay to late, but even better... (born 67 and little did I know that the best music I would discover four decades later...)
You're the pretty blonde he smiles at every time he finishes a blistering riff. 'And I knew without asking, she was into the blues.' Viva la France. God bless America. p.s. If you like things French, try George Bernanos.
I saw Freddie years ago in NJ way out in the pine Barrens. He was fantastic. To this day my favorite is I'd Rather BE Blind written by Leon Russell & recorded with Leon, Freddie & Jim Gordon. They are all passed on. But ...today I am working on that very song to record for a u-tube download with The Clovis Creek Band. Thank you & God Bless you Freddie. He was truly "The Texas Cannonball".🌹🌠🎼
ME 2 David..YES he did..Hardest Working Guitar...He was a Beautiful, Powerful, Teddy Bear..He loved all Peoples..I miss HIM and wish he were here butt we know that cant be..
The True Source, of so many great guitarists, is revealed in this video. All the Kings are deserving of their name; Albert, BB, but for me Freddie throws himself into every note with an energy that comes from a sense of timing, originating in the moment.
I think he is hitting a high b note on vocals while playing sweet home chicago. I dont think people truly understand how amazing, effortless and gritty his vocals were! Holy Moly!!!
Mr Freddie King, l'un des bluesman les plus puissant qu'il m'ait été donné d'entendre, hélas trop souvent éclipsé par deux autres King qui eux aussi étaient effectivement des géants, mais si vous voulez du blues qui vous atomise les tympans son altesse Freddie s'impose de lui même.
Freddie est un showman qui en fait toujours un peut trop ...B.B. est plus charismatique et beaucoup plus structurée... ALBERT certes plus réservé est le KING il a tout inventé , thèmes ,jeux , Morceaux ETC ... TOUT LE MONDE s'en est Inspiré ... de nos JOURS Tout le Monde s'en inspire Encore et pour longtemps ...
Je suis d'accord Freddie était un monstre, aussi bien à la guitare qu'au chant, j'ai eu la chance de reprendre "have you ever loved a woman", "going down" et "The stumble" en groupe et c'est toujours le pied à jouer ! un très grand qui nous manque...
I know i have been lucky, i remember he changed jackets because of sweat, he had a beautiful jacket (mustard) Every week they recorded Pop 2 for the french TV, i run from school, took my bus and subway: it lasted almost 2 years. we paid 5 francs, 1$, that was my week money! Now i live in Canada, where do you live?
Hi, (i don't know your name), I'm curious about Argentina. Do you get to see many blues bands in Buenos Aires? International bands or local? Do you play any instrument? I play guitar myself (not as good as Freddie:-)). I even played in a small blues band in Toulouse France, in 1993, just for the fun. At the time i had a weekly Blues radio show in a community radio, i loved it. If you want to see pictures i've made of blues and jazz musicians and other pictures you can go to my website: www.photo-graphisme.ca/ Have a nice day Danielle
Hi Danielle, my name is Gustavo i`m musician too.I have my own band called DLUXE R&B. We`re profesional musicians and played in the local clubs here in Buenos Aires. This is the links for DLUXE R&B, hope you like it...

It always wigs me out that he played with his strap over his shoulder, but not his neck. I tried it once and accidentally threw my guitar into the pool.
Richard Sørensen Melvyn "Deacon" Jones . . . The "most" Hammond organ ever, IMO. See the Old Grey Whistle Test clip of this band playing "Boogie Funk" if you have not done so already.
My favorite King of the 3 Kings: Freddie King. Second is Albert King, good vocals and good lefty Flying V technique. Never liked the other guy. Freddie had a unique voice and style. True grit you might say, honest soulful playing from the heart. I miss him to this day. He left us way too young. I'm sure because of his complete depth of feeling and honesty he went straight to heaven.
Agree with you, but it is hard pick one for being my favorite between Freddie and Albert. I like a lot of both. But I like BB as well, however is my third favorite King. All of them were amazings and kings.
I agree with your order but do not agree with the 'other guy' comment. The order in terms of playing and outward talent may be true, but in terms of what they brought to the genre they are all equals. They all had major influence on other artists that may have sounded differently if not for them, lots of guitarist have taken from B.B king. If not his playing style (J.J Cale is my favorite example of that), then his actual songs in general, lot's have been covered and made popular by other blues men. He also had an interest in bringing all the blues men together for some incredible performances (not to say Albert and Freddie wouldn't do that, we have no idea since they are no longer with us). Albert and Freddie both did performances with other guitarists, like SRV and Clapton respectively, but never brought as many people together as B.B King has over the years. B.B King also has some incredible songs, they are just hidden and not that well known. I personally love his cover of the song 'Summer in the City' off of the 'Guess who' album (also love the album cover). I also generally like his songs/albums featuring another artists rather than his solo ones
Bad to the bone,old time bluesman Rock on Freddy!

Si es el mejor para mí también...tiene un corazón enorme para el blues
I was there! 15 years old at the time and i can even see myself in the crowd!!
Wonderful to have the memory (and also to be able to revisit it, on CZcams !)

I was 20 but you are a lucky.
Saw your comment on the Robin Trower video. Pretty cool you got to see some many cool shows.
You're the pretty blonde he smiles at every time he finishes a blistering riff. 'And I knew without asking, she was into the blues.' Viva la France. God bless America. p.s. If you like things French, try George Bernanos.
This is history. A document of one of the most influential Blues guitarist of all time.
What can you say about the King, I want to be forever in the palace of the King, long love to Freddie one of the great Blues Men!!!!
One of the coldest guitars of all time no question, And he is from my great State of Texas

What a voice, often underrated. He was so complete as a musician.
You are right!🎸👍
@@Mrgusfi69 If I wanna play the Blues, I go to Freddie King or Otish Rush. I am sorry, that there is not much more in concert.
@@philfrank9226 sure!! I think the same way!.I love Otis Rush too!.He was one of the great ones bluesman
Love that he is having so much fun here, flashing his beautiful smile and dancing. So much soul! 🤗
The best guitarist in the time, God bless in his soul.
Freddy worked so hard for what he got,,Im glad he got chance to see France
ME 2 David..YES he did..Hardest Working Guitar...He was a Beautiful, Powerful, Teddy Bear..He loved all Peoples..I miss HIM and wish he were here butt we know that cant be..
Can't get a chillin pizza for any price I pay

Freddie is a pure expression of Love on earth. That's what I see and hear.

El bluesman no hay otro solo el
He’s the best that ever picked up a guitar
Sure!! He was the one and only Texas Cannonball!!
Awesome show. Freddie King is an original who paved the way for dudes like Stevie Ray Vaughan.
EC
Yep!
I think he is hitting a high b note on vocals while playing sweet home chicago. I dont think people truly understand how amazing, effortless and gritty his vocals were! Holy Moly!!!
Saw him in Aust, 1975. Great man of the blues !
Ahead of his time. Respect 👊🙌
Oh Freddie ! 😍🥰🤩
When France got a visit from King Freddie.
BLUESNISIMO, HAVE YOU EVER LISTENED TO A KING ON YOUR SWEET HOME? HAPPY DAY HAPPY LIFE
I have found a new hero

The solo at 13:00 is just out of this world!
💙💙

Freddie’s one of probably two people that makes say F😈CK when they’re soloing!
wonderful piano player
Yes, one of the great ones
Richard Sørensen Melvyn "Deacon" Jones . . . The "most" Hammond organ ever, IMO. See the Old Grey Whistle Test clip of this band playing "Boogie Funk" if you have not done so already.
David Maxwell - RIP . . .
The organist too. My goodness the whole band is so talented.
@4Q2 smith- what an exciting time in music! It will never happen again. As a millennial I'm fascinated by it
My boyfriend Deacon Jones was the Hammond B3 keyboard player❤
He was an amazing keyboard player!!.
Nice to meet you Paula.
Se acompañaba de un gran pianista .y un gran organista. El bajista y el batería también muy buenos
im sure clapton pays homage to this legend...
He is a good alumni
Can you hear how Clapton mimics his voical style and his guitar style ?
♥♥♥
The Texas Cannonball!
One of the greatest just ask Clapton he knows
Sure!! He was one of the biggest influence from Clapton style
THAT FLASH GORDON OUTFIT!!!
The Late David Maxwell on piano.
Yes!! He was a great Blues piano player!!
He was my best friend.Miss him every day.
Tasty.

@@EricCirca6566 - yup, even in this video, Freddie covers two of B.B. King's songs.
not liking bb is actually a crime that is punishable under law. all of them were amazing talents and inspired a LOT of guitarists.
Has anybody noted how he wears his strap? He is only, like, half wearing the guitar. 13:55.
Not the only... Albert Collins weared his strap like Freddie...
That was Freddy's style
As did Tony T.S. McPhee of The Groundhogs . . . !
Yes i remember, i think it was because of his belly:-)
It frees up that big belly
Maxwell tho
Muy buenos buenísimos con esto baila hasta los cojos 🥰👍
Big bluesman his name was the thierd King
For me Freddie King was THE FIRST King!!
Freddie, Albert, and then BB. Freddie reigns supreme.
It's nonsense to classify artists ....
Quê Pena que pena que pena as coisas boas vão todos embora aí fica só as fuleragem de música quê Pena que pena que pena
At his peak! No wonder Clapton (and Johnny Winter, and Stevie Ray, Etc...etc...Right down to Gary Clark) was so inspired by this man!
Freddie King was the man!!😉💪
