The master of the Telecaster in his prime, with the original Icebreakers (A.C. Reed, Johnny B. Gayden, Casey Jones, Aaron Burton), doing a great cover of this T-Bone Walker's song.

Albert Collins was one of the Greatest Blues guitarists that ever lived.

[@larsbreedveld4440]

The greatest.

[@robjknight6501]

Yup!!

[@andrews6495]

Absolutely 🎉

[@dontgoout1434]

You must know litter about blues

[@HowardNichols-Debate]

​@dontgoout1434 Whoes the best than?

[@lemondishonor7736]

There are so many people that don’t know about this great musician. We must spread the word because if people heard this, they’d love it.

[@germanorizal6623]

Agreed. This outright garbage that passes for music today is shameful. BTW, those that want to refute what I said, go ahead. I said what I had to say.

[@johnsworldofvideopoker]

Such a unique style, plucked with his fingers, incredible tone, high energy, he really cooked live and wrung you out in the process. He could hold his own with anybody on any stage. A one of a kind talent. I never missed a show his in San Diego for years. My favorite blues player of all time!🙌🏻🙌🏻🍎

[@tommybarnes3511]

AMEN!

[@johnbunton9979]

Went to Aragon Ball room to see Robert Cray Band, Albert Collins opened, I new a few of his songs, Dirty dishes was my favorite at the time. He went all the way up to the top rows of the room playing up and back. Real up close, awesome picking all the way up and down. Never forget that night. Wish I would seen him in person again.

[@biaora]

The word unique was invented for albert collins. There can't be another. Originality oozing out with every lick. Just needs to sling that axe on his right shoulder, and shoot from the hip - magic.

[@timothyarnold3660]

I drive semi and every time I pass by Leona Texas on 45 I know who's from there a slick guitar player, rip Albert Collins

[@BarbButler]

💗 💖 💘 💝 💟 ☮️

[@jamietfranklin]

It's like Albert had a pet tiger in his guitar, and he would calmly wrestle it in front of us, and made this completely individual groove. Love you Ice Man

[@Elimnio]

they were so hypnotized by his awesome playing they didn't even notice the giant fly in the room

[@Muddytrickle]

I dont know much if anything about playing guitar. I have been listening to the blues since about '82 and learned early on that you could recognize guitarists by their tone. My brother who was a guitar player until his passing, was happy that at least I learned I could pick out all the guitarists by their tone. There is no one as unique as Albert Collins. I saw him in Salt Lake City back during this time - about 1983. Had at least 100+ foot cord on his guitar and walked out of the bar into the middle of the street. It was superb showmanship

[@_Ike]

It's unique stuff like that that I love. Someone's playing Is always unique, but it's how they present it that sets them apart.

[@earthangel1077]

I grew up on this man!! My Dad’s favorite

[@mackwilliams5283]

That tone kicks you in the teeth and then you want another kick soon after

[@joshgarland9085]

That's the baddest ASS blues song ever.

[@vincentgilman5253]

I was lucky enough to see Albert Collins in concert in Moscow, Idaho back in the late 80’s. What a great show he put on. RIP ALBERT COLLINS!!

[@essentialbones705]

a master blaster with a telecaster I hope our youth takes note of this exemplary soul master with his telecaster

[@SherPettit]

Love ya Ice Man💎 He was so kind and humble. His band & shows were incredible! walking around playing he would just walk out the venue playing outside and everyone followed. Hard to put into words how much talent & fun this man & his band were. I still have all their autographs. Miss him. 🌹

[@Jameslopez5682]

Hello Sher how are you doing hope you’re having a great time with your family may God bless you and your family

[@jameseades7937]

[@midnightcruiser7762]

Fender power baby

[@hansjorg1923]

Big Bluesman and also a great Showman...I saw him during the eighties several times in Frankfurt😊😊😊

[@MichaelSherrer]

Through my headphones-incredible guitar tone, even for a Telecaster. Such passion and power, burned out too soon. Glad we have this WDR performance.

[@terrysekator4]

love this man ....his guitar speaks much volume with his words...speak on...love you....R.I.P

[@edwardkondek2548]

Pure talent and charisma enough said

[@anti-rehabrelapse5996]

I wish I could find something in this world that make me feel the way it looks like Albert Collins feels playing something like this

[@davemartin756]

Receive Jesus Christ as Lord if your life. Greatest feeling you will have is Eternal Life!

[@justinpiper8026]

This dude just pisses the blues. One of the purest blues players ever

[@mrkfsn]

Saw him a few times when I was just a teenager around Houston with his 200 foot guitar cord out playing in the middle of the street. Albert's tone and visual is iconic. One note or look and you instantly know it's the Ice Man. Damn shame he's not in the Rock Hall.

[@7zovets406]

presence, tone and soul at it's best ... peace+love>

[@sibsrock]

The blues guitar player i found when I was 14 and still my favorite. I truly loved this guy , got to meet him two times

[@michaelobrien8219]

one of the greats in really fine form during this performance - a master of the slow blues like few others...both guitar and vocal!! Love the 'unpolished' feel and sound of his band in this gig - sounds real.

[@jasonbarnesbefuddledprofessor]

Love Albert's Blues this guy took massive risks when playing definitely one of the Greatest. 💙🎸👍

[@kevinboyden3815]

This is SIMPLY AWESOMENESSNESS at its BEST !!! Such a creative pioneer, great entertainment in every aspect !!!!

[@scottsoucy6186]

Nobody sounds quite like The Iceman! He blazed a trail like no other. Most definitely a Master of The Telecaster!

[@chiptmcc8656]

Always loved this guy's playing!

[@denniseleighty1811]

What could be better than the blues .

[@alananderson007008]

[@davidconnor8151]

Hi.. Dennise

[@yotzzo]

The best blues guitar player ever!

[@evelyngill5134]

Saw him numerous times at Antoine’s blues club in Austin Tx. He would come off the stage into the crowd and out the front door❤😊😮

[@irisroberts2174]

All the musicians were playin real tight!!!!!!

[@dewaynewhite2928]

Albert Collins, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Buddy Guy, didn't have to say anything in the mic, their guitar did it for them the way they played that thing, wow!

[@Magnum_Opus_Music]

''You know im gonna quit somebody everytime that feeling starts'' BOSS!! 🔥🎸🎶

[@tessiemcdonell188]

RIP and thank you for keeping the Blues alive !!!

[@Jplent1]

If this doesn't stir your soul...you ain't got one.

[@vincentvanheerden881]

Excellent, excellent musicians💯🎯💯 Nothing like the blues to evoke all sorts of emotions. Albert knew how to get deep down into ones feelings. 😎

[@randybounds2244]

One of the Greats. RIP Mr Collins. You are missed

[@jaykane4770]

[@jackspry9736]

RIP Albert Collins (October 1, 1932 - November 24, 1993), aged 61 You will be remembered as a legend.

[@jazz_addict7079]

He was a master communicator and he made every note count. . .

[@jakobreith]

This great song was written by the brilliant songwriter Jessie Mae Robinson who died when she was only 48 years old. The song could not be in better hands, than the divine hands of the undisputed Master of the Telecaster, guitar and blues legend Albert Collins, who also died far too early when he was 61 years old. RIP and Thx Jessie & Albert - your beautiful music lives forever.

[@abrigospardos]

Such a blues classic!! (BTW, the song was written by a blueswoman called Jessie Mae Robinson).

[@bluesdoggmusicrediker4614]

WOW! WHAT A GREAT BAND...THE GREAT AARON BURTON ON 2ND GUITAR...

[@roberthancock2563]

He was fckn incredible!!! One of my favorite bluesmen!

[@jackempson3044]

he has a capo on the C and has the guitar tuned to a minor. I guess that's how he learned on his own. The guy kills it

[@johnpendarvis7885]

He tuned to F#m open.

[@jackempson3044]

Looks like he's tuned to a minor as i said instead of open F#m tuning. It is open however but an F. Looks like a capo. I've seen him use capo's a lot but I've never sat down to listen to exactly what he's doing. I'm sure anyone who studies his style knows. Maybe it is an open tuning. I jjuts looked this up. I don't see the F sharp: "In other words, when he played all of his open strings, he sounded an F minor chord. So his strings from low to high were as follows: F-C-F-Ab-C-F" .

[@justingray3456]

I saw Albert many times, always a great show.

[@corkkyle]

A pure ice-blues jam.

[@derekscott9374]

I saw 'em all back in the day...and Albert was the best...including SRV...

[@kathyblewis-vy1it]

I had a pleasure to see him. Asked for an autograph and picture with him. I love his style. Kathy B. from Florida.

[@NDWest]

Wow, I just read a Facebook post about him and looked him up. He's amazing! So glad I searched his music 💕💕

[@utahpete]

The Iceman ! I was lucky enough to see him perform 2X ( Had a drink with him between sets a Phoenix Hill Tavern in Louisville, and got to see both he and Albert King a couple of years before at Rockefeller's in Houston. One of the all time greats !

[@AllenGarvin]

I saw him one time in '88, I think, or maybe '89 at Antone's in Austin (the original one, the only one at the time, on Guadalupe), and it was incredible, something never matched again my whole life. I was a student and lived nearby at the time, and I was only there on a pure lark. My late uncle Rocky Hill knew him well, and he played on one of Rocky's albums, but that one concert was my only personal experience with him.

[@cortomaltese3890]

I was backstage in one of his concert in Toulouse France in 80'. Juste before begining he left the stage to a bar room next to the stage to take a drink... suddenly he began to play in silent way.. But the sound reached the public... it was unrealistic ... we were watching him in a room and listening him in other room ... Merci beaucoup albert Collins

[@thedevino]
