One of the great Blues players and singers - a unique guitar sound.

[@jasonladd6400]

I wish I'd seen him live. He was fabulous. Rip Albert.

[@jasonbarnesbefuddledprofessor]

Elmore James, Mississippi Fred McDowell, Junior Kimbrough & R.L. Burnside. 🔥🔥🔥

[@billyclub56]

I've never fell over in my beer, listening to Albert !!

[@bernardliu8526]

Fallen ?

[@kenton6098]

George has always been an engaging host out to bring out the best of those he interviews.

[@brspo1987]

Is Thorogood for fucking real? He had the chance to not only sit down, but SHARE A STAGE with Albert Collins, and he doesn't even know what kind of guitar he plays? No matter how nervous/drunk/high I was I would never think of AC as the master of the....Stratocaster. Very cool of AC to not correct him/glare/look sideways too much at him even though he's clearly WTF'ing. I really enjoy Thorogood and anyone can make a mistake, but that's like introducing BB King as playing a Flying V. What a boob.

[@henryfrost8542]

I was at that Electric Ball room concert. Albert was on fire, absolutely brilliant, one of the best gigs that I have ever seen. Without disrespect towards George, I think Albert should have been the Head liner. George was brilliant as well. That should have been filmed. A show to remember... 🎸🎸🎸

[@IGK-zt5pc]

The greatest among them all!

[@paulcooper5748]

I seen him in 1987 he was brilliant.

[@Samurai7123566]

I think George meant "master of the TELECASTER" gezzz :)

[@Marco81blues]

Notice how he didn't even bother correct him, he has to be the coolest cat to ever live.

[@33Chef]

Le Douche as they say in France

[@carlsmith1263]

Thoroughgood was an asshole

[@crookedriver2079]

Carl Smith so are you

[@livewire2759]

@@carlsmith1263 I've heard lots of people say he's a very down to earth, cool, humble gentleman... you're the only asshole that's ever called him an asshole.

[@jollez8]

So glad she corrected George.. It's a Telecaster dude!

[@5thbassdrum]

Right!

[@theraspful]

Don’t worry if somebody makes mistakes,someone will come along and insert themselves into correcting the mistakes...geez

[@ronaldjames6067]

Wonderful interview ! Thanks !

[@bluesdoggmusicrediker4614]

I SAW THE ICEBREAKERS IN RICHMOND, VA. IN 1985. HE PLAYED WITH GEORGE THOROGOOD AT FARM AID THAT DAY...HE WENT OUT TO BROAD ST. AND JAMMED IN THE MEDIAN STRIP..HE HAD ROB NOLL ON 2ND GUITAR THEN AND HE WAS FANTASTIC! RIP ALBERT...YOU WILL BE MISSED...

[@edzielinski]

What a humble and genuine man. You can see that little twinkle of mischief in his eye every once in a while. You can just see he's all about the music, and though he says he can't read it (other than drum scores), you can tell he's a true student of the blues and its history, and it's luminaries. I love the line where he says he likes to play blues that don't make you fall over in your beer!

[@LloydMajor]

Real cool!

[@fattirevsbud]

thanks for posting I love this guy!

[@chusssMusic]

Legend. Thanks for posting this

[@PeterKertesz2013]

Fantastic video,thanks for sharing!!!

[@donkohler5455]

Baad asss. Love the guy.

[@J.A.Hansen]

The Master of the Telecaster,and also one of Jimi Hendrix Favorites. Still i'm sad that he had to go too soon.I remember in the year he died,he wanted to do some show in the town where i lived.And i wanted to buy a ticket to see him live,cause man he was🎵🎸🎙 dynamite, groovy,funky,cool,bluesy,so powerful...and then i heard that he died cause he had a Heartproblem...I was down to the ground. Hey Albert thank you for your music,rest in peace brother🕯🎵🎸🙏

[@AdrianAndersson]

Albert died of lung cancer. He probably smoked his whole life

[@guitarmanp90]

This is from July 1984.

[@CommishTV]

About a minute into the video George mentions that he's known Albert since 1979...so obviously this show isn't from 1976. Also, pretty big goof by George introducing Albert as the Master of the STRATOcaster (not Telecaster)!

[@deanarupe73]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who did the math. I was going to point it out but you beat me to it. 👌

[@jwonder7618]

Deana Rupe also they talked about lightin Hopkins and how he was a great loss and he died in 1982 so it is wrong.

[@livewire2759]

This was from a show they did in 1982... I have no idea where they got 1976 from... but anyway, George got the TELECASTER intro right during the concert.

[@phillipkarpowich3437]

I'm ready!!!😅

[@Gonzoidzz]

Thanks.

[@1GuitarraFacil]

The date is most probably 1986, not 76.

[@DonDeering]

Jay Bee's BLUES LINE You know it!

[@livewire2759]

82 actually... the video of the concert is here in YT. I have no idea where this guy got 1976 from...

[@John8.7]

Time travel. It really exists! They met in 79'

[@gerberbernstein7360]

It's actually a Telecaster, not the Stratocaster.

[@LUCKYB.]

I just enjoyed lissening to History ..

[@marjoryrainey287]

Me too!

[@larryn2682]

That's from the eighties, not 1976.

[@JerseyMiller]

Level up: Secret personal blues tuning unlocked.

[@myradioclubuk3321]

what a bunch of amateurs, Albert is just too good for this

[@derekscott9374]

I was one of those young white kids...and saw him in 76...

[@Ralphydub]

'Master of the Stratocaster?"

[@Stevensgarageandservice]

This is from the mid 80’s

[@LARRY.B.LeeVRE]

1986

[@scottpierce5783]

How can this be from 1976, it they talk about having met in 1979...?

[@thedeltabluesthedeltablues3828]

Lighting hopkins cousin

[@ryanj7517]

Didn’t he mean Telecaster? The Ice Pick!

[@deemika]

Um George... he's "Master of the TELEcaster"... not Stratocaster.

[@neblitude]

This is not 1976!

[@mikec6733]

Albert is sweet, George is mean

[@bigdaddydaddy3203]

86 not 76

[@danielktdoranie]

76? More like 86

[@HaraldEngels]

The guys seem having been quite intoxicated ...

[@julianhumes7025]

No my grandpa talked the same way. He was sober for over 20 years when he passed it might have been an early onset but I don't think he is drunk in the interview that's just years of abuse. Albert is definitely one of the best that ever did it and I wish I could have seen him play live.

[@eddgong]

If I had been George .. that would have said "MR COLLINS "...hey George you aint the shit you think you are ,now we're older at least I dont have a turkey neck I could use for suspenders

[@eddgong]

Oh I really had a hard time when folks would put you in tape player and I had no wat /where to politely leave the room

[@donkohler5455]

Used a capo most of the time. Dont matter. Bending strings. Tougher or not. Discuss

[@rams6702]

His fingers? Tough as hell. The style? Definitely tougher, especially with strings in open f minor tuning. The bends will feel like bending in first position.

[@bernardliu8526]

Albert Collins was Master of the TELECASTER ! Ignorant interviewer.

[@vivaclaptonluthier1858]

Horrible interview, interrupted, just one person there seems to know who Albert was.

[@anthonypascual7726]

The team conducting this interview seemed disorganized

[@Ralphydub]

The behind the scenes crew is horrible
