RIP Mike....you were gone before I discovered you but your tracks will rock my system as long my own pulse keeps ticking!

[@tomshaw661]

you would have loved him because he was such a regular guy with a heart for his fans.

[@johnnyj9587]

Same Mike Lee. Was telling a blues buddy I need to see this guy... yea that would be great. But impossible! Why? He's dead. Was like wtf dude could Jam!

[@Loken1066]

Was privileged to meet this guy several times and see him play more times then I can count and he was by far the most humble and genuine performer I’ve ever met, he put his all into every show and is such a loss, he had everything and deserved to be much more well known then he is

[@anthonyulibarri3690]

Best video ever of Michael that captures how he really sounded live!!! RIP Mr. Burks, RIP.

[@larrymota]

I wish I learned of this amazing man many years ago.

[@kimberlymilam9115]

Of all the concerts ihave seen Michael was always the best live show, He plays with such intensity. He played nonstop for 2 hours with sweat pouring off him, came to our table for a solo, the best. He stacks up to Gary Moore and Walter Trout.

[@iluelu]

how smooth!

[@albertgatte6324]

I just found this video...I AM A FAN...WHAT A GREAT PLAYER. He is feelin it...

[@gerryquigley1563]

Wonderful...full of passion playing homage to the great Free and the one and only Paul Kossoff

[@MrLespaul2000]

Well I am a huge Free fan, I must say this is the first version of this song I have seen performed by someone else and it is an excellent version. Sadly another great player I will never see. R.I.P. Sir.

[@TheHeimchenamHerd]

Ein Baum von einem Mann, der die Gitarre mit so viel Gefühl spielt. So spielen halt die Bluesmusiker. Einer der besten Gitarristen überhaupt! Leider weilt er nicht mehr unter uns, aber seine Musik die bleibt!

[@sickb2200]

I can't believe all the years I spent at my grandmother's place in Magnolia, Arkansas with guitar in tow, meanwhile Michael Burks was just down the road in Camden playing red hot blues. I could have easily gone over there to met him.

SUPER!

[@scottamasa]

The minute I saw Michael Burks I knew that this was the real deal. I miss him soooo much. He was the best. The only comparison I can even make is Albert King and that does neither justice. Damn.

[@wez740]

only just found his music shame he passed away but im glad ive still found it coz he is a fucking legend

[@MikeDawson01]

Great song!

[@DM-ot5xg]

Saw him for his last performance 5 days before he live us to have an heaven session ....RIP Michael !!

[@InfiniteRiffs]

Pure fire in the soul. And man he makes that Dr. Z amp smoke! Such a shame, gone so soon...

[@TheNefeli123]

PERFECT!!

[@sickb2200]

I used to visit my grandmother in a town just down the road from where Michael lived. I was a young guitar student at the time. What a shame it is that I never knew he was around those pine tree covered parts of Arkansas.

[@clemspliffy678]

I saw this guy live with a cat named Mikchael Davis on keyboards. That bunch was lightning in a jar. Sad it didn't last because it was music for the ages. I pray it's released one day. The world deserves it....especially now

[@Amsterhammer]

"amateur footage", yeah right. :-))) Super quality sound and video, thanks for posting!

[@jseebold100]

My new Favorite! :D

[@larrymota]

He was the master of his guitar !

[@t4oomf442]

MY FAV BLUES ARTIST RIP BRO :)

[@bankebrum]

Goes Straight In ... Thank You !!

[@razorsharpe3371]

Oh wow ! Pure shred ! Mr. Burkes gone way too soon but thank you for leaving us with stuff like this . Many thanks for sharing this incredible concert footage Alrunerod.

[@TheGurner1]

Wow, soulful!

[@Kron0s4284]

This mans music moves me. Rip

[@mikeallenpugh]

Fantastic videos of MB. Thanks! :)

[@Gydh]

Outstanding blue musician...R.I.P.

[@goodpull]

Love the original by Free and I love this live version by MB as well - wish the track was available as a good quality download to go on my ipod alongside the albums. His tone on this reminds me of Leslie West who I could imagine also covering this. MB is a great guitarist/Bluesman and a massive loss to the music.

[@ibbtownblues195]

goodpull it ison one of his cds. Not live but also very good.

[@monicadryden2279]

just flat out kicks ass!

[@littlewolf3438]

Never seen a guy take a solo like that Really is inspiring,,,,,,,

[@rockysimmow2877]

RIP - IRONMAN

[@Amsterhammer]

I just realized that is the same shirt he had on for his last ever show. Great film, Alrunerod.

[@femlottie]

michael burks is een van s,werelds beste beste gitaristen der no

[@roby62gtr]

R.I.P. .... Michael I had the great honour to oper his performance at Mercogliano Music Festival (Italy) in 2011.

[@ChristineOram]

Great performance. Great tone. Love the Free original and this version channels the Wilson Pickett version to make a great combination of the two. Michael Burke is a new discovery for me. Some similarities in his playing with the great Leslie West.

[@scottamasa]

Still missing Michael. Maybe like Another Albert King. Loved him and he was the nicest person too

[@normanscenic]

wow great player

[@rflattop]

R. I. P. Michael . You were the best!
