Freddie King - Boogie Funk/Going Down 1972

In Concert Dec 23th 1972. Poor quality, awesome performances.

[@michaelgreen5206]

One of the best Guitar players ever!!!! Love you Freddie.

[@ahopper854]

A man and band who gave it 100 % not like the wishy washy shite now a days

[@deniskostic1502]

DRUMMER , THIS I CALL DRUMMER CHARLIE ROBINSON!!! LEGEND WITH OUT NO INFO . EVEN NOBODY KNOWS WHERE HE IS ,IS HE ALIVE!!! HE DESERVE PLACE NEXT TO GREATEST ROCK AND ROLL STARS!!! SO HELP FIND HIM!!!!

[@206wareagle5]

The drummer is on fire..... as is the whole band and of course, the Texas Cannonball hisself.

[@deniskostic1502]

His name is Charlie Robinson...nobody knows nothing about him.

[@HopeIanHope]

Always wanted to know who the drummer was/is ? This was a truly great band & Freddie one of the most exciting acts I ever saw.

[@barrywilliamsjr5390]

The Greatest blues guitarist that ever lived and the drummer kicked ass!!!💯

[@keithmangold2263]

on goin' down - bass player is all over it too~!

[@barrywilliamsjr5390]

@@keithmangold2263 Agreed! 👍

[@ryanbarclayguitar]

Goin' Down is like a locomotive going 120 mph crashing through every building in Texas and letting all the debris slam into the rest of the United States causing a natural disaster.

[@denism6489]

So true. I could say at 230 bpm, the exact tempo of the heart of a man who fight with himself before getting into too much trouble, as i imagine it could be on those dark days of slavery and segregation the blues often talk about. Going down has the weight of an inheritance and I feel the trance ...right under our eyes and ears, even if the lyrics says another thing, this is what i feel. however, talking about Chattanooga let think to a train, right.

[@stevebrothers9470]

High energy, great chops. VERY hard to top this. Great respect for Freddie, the band and the songwriter...

[@bettyscoggins7769]

The drummer STOLE IT !!!!!!!

[@Gene_Cali]

I remember Freddy playing this Boogie on the show " In Concert". The song was so long that the TV station went to a Commercial Break, and when they returned to the show, this song was Still Playing! Boogie On Children, to the Legend Freddy King. :)

[@MyMediaConsulting]

This is as real as it gets folks. No amount of gear or number of players can ever replicate what Freddie and crew could do on any given night.

[@denism6489]

Hound dog taylor could, Jimi could, Gary could, Collins could, and a few others in their style, but ... not so much, right.

[@vickiknight5967]

Denis M please go listen to your crew and Mike P and I will stick with Freddie and we’re going to listen to Big Legged Woman next.

[@TONY76127]

tru dat

[@chrishenson4450]

Goddamn right.

[@OO-qr1ks]

Elvin bishop is pretty good and he still plays, maybe he could replicate freddie a little on his red 335

[@ajinkyakakade6043]

I wish there was like button everytime i come here

[@matthewcreech5133]

From just a purely musical standpoint this is amazing. A stage full of masters at their instruments playing together.

[@darkhorse651]

Freddy King has an energy few of us ever find. The more you listen to his music the more in love with it you get. A natural intoxication

[@Jalapablo]

You got that right bro. He was a genius. The more you listen, the more you realize his total domination. No one had the whole package like FK. Unprecedented balls and raw power and a man giving it his absolute all. Love him so much. The greatest bluesman ever.

[@YaoEspirito]

Plus his devotion is infectious. It's his love and passion for the music that just smacks the listener in the face.

[@bluesmills]

If Freddy and Fats Domino could've jammed together, it would've rocked.

[@chriscorman734]

@@bluesmills So spot on

[@martincoulter5477]

Got to see this band 5 or 6 times Rough and Ready style. Always had crowd grooving with him. Nice to see a different live video .

[@bluzcompany2293]

A powerhouse like no other ,and just cool as shit dude ,gone to soon ,surely missed ,but never to be forgotten, Freddie King...

[@davidwaltzer2235]

Freddy King was one of the first concerts I ever saw. It was at the Ash Grove in LA and I was 13. It was incredible... we also gave one of his sidemen Hollywood Fats a ride to the gig cause he was too young to drive and my older brother had his license. so we got good seats. The Ash Grove was a really cool venue, wooden benches and tables and you could roll a joint and light up which was a big deal in those days.

[@williamtroth]

When I saw Freddie at Winterland I was expecting some average journeyman blues. Instead I got blown away by one of the most slammin blues sets I've ever seen, as this video proves.

[@bluesmills]

What a wildman, raw power that's almost impossible to replicate.

[@JohnDoe-wo1jd]

grateful to uploader. the video may have been poor quality but the audio was damn good for the limited tech for live audio recordings of most rock and blues performers back then

[@Dobie_Gillis]

This guy was big and so was his sound! We miss you Freddie King.

[@canthesoda]

Freddie!!!!! amazing hold.. sustain... the magic of the boogie. This guy is still way under rated!!!!

[@SouperJon]

Outstanding. Freddie was a big man and that shirt had a big collar to boot.

[@Marshall333]

Man when he grips a bend he does not f@ck around. He puts that thing in its place.

[@robertjelicic6651]

Wow! What power and energy.

[@spoonful1018]

It is quite simple - Freddie King was the best electric blues guitar ever. Magic Sam and the Blind Owl round out the top 3

[@wformic]

JDWIII owes alot to Freddie. You can really hear it in his licks.

That drummer is young and on fire. What a great solo and Freddie is just as good ib boogie fuynk as he is on blues. There will never be another

So much great music to listen to with so little time.

[@jocacirkovic]

That's damn good performance!! One of best on tube. When you go to the gig, you just want band to give 100 %, Freddie and crew delivered 200%. Lucky bastards in the crowd.

[@BackToTheBlues]

Freddie played with metal finger and thumb picks, which I think added to his tone - if you listen to Boogie Funk at 3.08 where it's just him playing you can hear them clicking against the strings each time he picks a note, almost like a high pitched slide note!

[@stevesalt2921]

Yes, I can here it. Nice!

[@saywhatmachine]

Usually, seeing a man on fire doesn't make me this excited...

[@davidhattersley5045]

Drummers a beast !!

If you want to see another beast of a drummer have a look at Trevor Morias playing Walk On The Wild Side (not the Lou Reed song!) with The Peddlers: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJiyfZ6tn5KtjKs

NO I WANT ALL POSIBLE INFO ABOUT CHARLIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@chrisbalding3128]

Denis Kostic I posted in the Drummerworld forum a year ago, asking for any info on Charlie Robinson and so far, no one has responded, with the exception of one forum member who turned me on to this video. I can’t imagine that a drummer that good would just give up playing and disappear into obscurity. If he’s alive, I guess he’d be around 70-ish, provided he was in his late 20s at the time this video was shot.
