I was most impressed by the saxophone player's commitment to keep swinging his instrument back and forth. :D

[@mossstephen1066]

I'm a guitarist, but i love it when Freddie dances, shows how much he is enjoying playing. You don't see that often!

[@argo_z]

If you want to see more dancing,singing and playing at the same time then look into miyavi. His old stuff is primarily Japanese if you're ok with that but his newer stuff is mostly English. I reccomend starting with "what's my name"

[@richardmindemann6935]

A big part of Freddie's musical charm is his penchant for these fine blues instrumentals.

[@1computernew]

Freddie made that guitar talk. I love the Peter Gunn theme.

[@ZigbertD]

Legendary player, iconic song, great performance and killer go-go dancer. Love the Peter Gunn riff tossed in there. BTW, did a little googling and learned this is from a short-lived TV show called The!!! Beat. Yeah, three exclamation points after the word "the". Hosted by DJ Bill "Hoss" Allen, it featured a ton of great blues and R n B artists. Clarence Gatemouth Brown was the house band leader. It's apparently available on DVD, seems worth checking into...

[@rockyrovere2526]

Freddie is without a doubt the “man”. I wanna reach into the screen and “borrow “ his 335 for a lifetime. Peace, Rocky

For such a bright 12 bar song its amazing just how much emotion Freddie puts into it, the turnaround is simple but just so amazing.

[@kitdinker]

Up all night with Freddie King I got to tell you, poker's his thing

[@ckmonarez]

Freddie made every song he did an EVENT. Triple threat. Expressive singer with great pitch and a smooth falsetto, guitar chops as strong as any of The Kings, and one hell of an entertainer and party starter. In my view, his original recording of "Have You Ever Loved a Woman?" is the definitive version. His octave jumps into falsetto still brings chills.

[@Magnificent-Stranger]

Of all the Three Kings, I think Freddie is the one who is the most versatile and the most fun to listen to. One of the all time greats and one among those who's name and works shall be commemorated in the Great Blues Pantheon.

[@BHAKTIBROPHY]

He IS one of "Three Kings of Guitar: Freddy King, B.B. King, and Albert King". No familial relation, but all three ARE the three (electric) blues kings.

[@terjelken3246]

@@Magnificent-Stranger Totally agree with what you say about his versatility. Whether it's quick blues like here or tough blues - it sounds great. I get in a good mood when I hear his music.

[@rickhuff9030]

In the early 70's a friend and I were trying to put together a set list. He played this and we both immediately agreed to add it. He is a huge fan of Freddie King and always plays his stuff on the money. You'd be surprised how many people appreciate that. Brings back incredible memories.

[@terjelken3246]

Freddie King bears his surname rightly. And the band - talented musicians who are very well sampled. But I also want to give praise to those dancers on stage. I'm not really interested in dancing and I don't like dancing myself either. But what these (go-go) dancers do is really good. They are like part of the band.
