I know it's a matter of personal taste, or preference, but Freddie was always my favorite of the Three Kings. Love B.B., love Albert, but Freddie just kills me. The way I see it, B.B. had the frankincence, and Albert had the myrrh, but Freddie had the gold.

[@Guitargate]

WOOF

[@peteywarren0829]

Freddie’s just so amazing.

[@paulknobloch3440]

I love BB's melodic sensibility, but he would never push his gain like Freddie. The only time he did, on Blues is King, he made his best record. No matter what John Mayer says.

[@RyanLBrown9396]

I can’t put it any better than that

[@RyanLBrown9396]

Freddie is such a great performer. I can't help but smile when I watch him play.

You can't!

[@patrickyoung7685]

For people not familiar with the BLACK AMERICAN MUSICAL TRADITION, he taking you to Church! What I mean is, he's pacing himself and using the same cadence that a preacher would. He is even using the CALL AND RESPONSE of the Church. If you were in Church, the old preachers would encourage the congregation so they could preach the sermon together. Freddie is encouraging the audience to sing it with him. I appreciate the fact you're paying homage and appreciation to some of the original masters. Great Video. Great Reaction.

[@chrisbullock6477]

Thanks to the Canadians and Europeans for all the great footage of the R&B/Jazz/Blues music during the 50's,60's and even 70's was alot more inviting and hospitable to the African American musicians and artist even to this day.

[@chrissiler6075]

Derek Trucks tells everyone who will listen, if your day is wrong, listen to this man and your day will be better!!!!

[@Guitargate]

TRUTH

[@MatthewSmith-if5wp]

Dereks big 4 influences....Freddie King, Elmore James, BB King and Duane.

[@chrissiler6075]

@@MatthewSmith-if5wp Derek and BB were close and his sound and tone as is Duane's comes straight from Elmore James

[@jackstraw4129]

@@Guitargate I'm just passing through. I used to see Derek play with the ABB in the early 90's as a kid. Just a suggestion. If you do or don't have Amazon Prime, watch Long Strange Trip. And like a concert I'll tell you that episode 3 at 15 minutes is a must watch and listen. Peace.

[@danielm4114]

Blues has definitely influenced Trucks' playing, there's no doubt- but check out sarod legend Ali Akbar Khan and you'll see where Derek really gets his playing from

[@tm22fl]

Remember Jules’ wallet in Pulp Fiction? It belonged to Freddie King first.

[@ArthurYuill]

tm22fl you should get the pin

[@thespiritof76..]

You damn right

[@trickmytrailer]

Is anyone gonna talk about that tone?? 100 watt Quad Reverb CRANKED. Sounds absolutely incredible. One of the best ES tones I’ve ever heard

[@ebay9302]

Yes, I own this ax and use it occasionally. For a 355 it sounds great!

[@mattmarino9300]

Big Man, Big Guitar HUUGE Tone!! Love it.

[@knightbrolaire526]

I've read about his use of that amp before - cranked and treble maxed out I think. At 14:12 I immediately thought the folks in the front row that are dead ahead of his amp must've been deaf at that point, lol.

[@sammack1564]

Freddie's sporting the world's largest lapel, gotta love the 70's! 😂😂

[@seanmoyer6500]

Holy shnikes! I was praying that you'd do a Freddie King tune that just dropped on Vintage 4K! You're the man Michael!

[@Guitargate]

We pray similarly my friend.

[@adityadadhich2756]

PLEASE MORE BLUES! YOU ARE SUCH AN INSPIRATION!! YOU HAVE GIVEN MORE PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE THAN ANYONE I'VE EVER MEET BEFORE. YOU ARE BEST TEACHER EVER. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!

[@mattmarino9300]

Ive listened to this performance so many times I drove my coworkers nuts!

[@dbbubba1]

Having watched Freddie many times and playing with cats that were in his band, let me promise you that the snare hits and accents are all part of the show. It was the standard deal. It is an embellishment of what works on stage in a blues band.

[@Dericulus]

Guys like Freddie King remind us why "rhythm" is before "blues" The man-est music there is always puts rhythm first and the feeling follows, as far as my definition "man music" goes. Can never get enough.

[@mysidianbard5890]

It's so refreshing to see an adult reacting this way. He's like a child unwrapping christmas presents and showing all his friends the cools things his new toys do.

[@shawnmcvey7789]

You can tell he really wants to play those delicious licks but he can't bring himself to pause the video 🤣

[@OriginalOldSkoolFunk]

One of my favorite live performances. Freddie beat the notes out of his cherry red Gibson. If you can't feel this one...you may actually be dead. David Maxwell on the keys is so sick on the video too...

[@PanhandlePrepping]

Yessir!!

[@glassncobalt]

That is no lie!

[@BillyBats773]

So clean. A great band behind a great guitarist and everything is right!

[@geraldbryden6720]

Living proof that it's not how many notes you play but playing the right notes at the right time.

[@rselp]

“Lock up your woman and your gin...here comes Freddie King!” Definitely the baddest of all the Kings! Can’t thank you enough Michael...you’ve made my day❤️

[@Guitargate]

Yes sir good DR!

[@shawnmcvey7789]

By far the most chops of the 3. His phrasing was deliciously ahead of it's time.

[@docgify]

After each of those phrases its like he just banged it up everyone’s arm in the audience and we are all so mad high and he does the movt in time with the crack of the snare its soooo good!!

[@michaelcantinieri7890]

That shit comes straight from the soul through the strings and out those speakers

[@mitchweiner]

My ears and my soul will never be the same after watching this!

[@TulsaGirlForever]

God, I sure hope I get to hear the Heaven's Blues Band Freddie, B.B. & Albert are a part of....I cut my teeth on Freddie playing around Tulsa like Cain's Ballroom. His first recording venture/touring was w/ our beloved Leon Russell; Russell put Freddie living in a house nextdoor to his Shelter Records at 3rd & Trenton while recording. Life was so good!! '71 & '72 were EPIC years for all those guys, especially Freddie King. Long may his music be played loud & proud!!!

[@joebeutner6538]

first time I saw Freddie King.....about 1970 @ The Cow Palace in Ft Worth....& many times after that. the Best....never played an extra note....just a great big voice...great presence....etc when (if) i get to heaven, he's the first Cat I'm gonna look up !!

[@Jim-od7sb]

Amazing line-up of kings we have!!! Albert, Freddie, BB and now we get Marcus!!!! love them all, so damn influential!

[@kubaberry5178]

AS SOON AS that drop hit and he sang the opening line, my hairs literally stood up.... THAT is performing!

[@melbookermusic]

This is beyond stellar!! I think I have watched this video at least 6 times. 💥FIRE!!!!

[@Guitargate]

WOOF

[@cliffpatterson7359]

i'm a huge prog rock, symphonic metal, classic metal dude, but every time i hear Freddie King or any other slow smelly blues it just puts a smile on my face. I used to work at a blues club in New England and there's a special place in my heart for this stuff!

[@michaelbledsoe1060]

I never never never get tired of Freddie King. So much raw power, feeling and emotion. Metal thumb and finger picks just dig out that sound that just tears your guts out. Big thanks on this one. Cheers from Texas. 🤠

[@Guitargate]

Yup. Visceral.

[@dollabill39]

Buddy is my Guy. But man you MUST appreciate the 3 Kings. Well done Michael. I enjoy your interaction as well, the way you give the band love on their piece also... Outstanding...

[@Guitar387]

I didn't realize how good Freddie King was. This is incredible

[@christiandaniel8400]

I lost count of how many times I’ve watched that Freddie King video

[@Cliffdrane]

The power of Albert, the taste of B.B. And a great voice to boot. Way, WAY under-appreciated. Thank you for featuring him, a real hero of mine growing up.

[@Cliffdrane]

Oh and Michael, notice how much better Freddie’s band is than Albert’s. No shade from Freddie at THIS drummer.

[@GreyGecko94]

I had tears in my eyes and was just laughing and grooving through that whole performance. Damn I love the blues.

[@davetube2ful]

I saw him twice in Corpus Christi i was around 16 years old, he was unbelievable, the heart and soul and even the power of he's voice.

[@sallyshipwreck4315]

Such a treat to see someone grin their way through this performance! I feel like running out on the street and grabbing people and make them listen to this. One of the greatest performances ever.

[@shawnmcvey7789]

I've watched this video at least once a year since I came across it, Freddie King was so ahead of his time in terms of phrasing. You can hear Clapton, Page, and Beck *really* loved his playing.

[@nathanielvargas3863]

I saw this video of Freddie King for the first time the other day. I was absolutely blown away

[@mmetdker]

The Texas Cannonball! Such a showman. Thanks for recognizing how tight that band is. Great review. New sub

[@SGI999]

Was listening to Buddy Guy and this came up next. It’s a day for some classic blues it seems. My siblings played and still play in blues bands I heard blues playing from a young age. I could never say one genre is my favourite but some days it’s just gotta be the down home dirty sweet twang with a little mouth harp blues. Thank you for a deep and enthusiastic analysis and your pure unadulterated enjoyment that is catching. 😬😬

[@jetobey5656]

Michael--you and Beato analyze great music with such genuine enthusiasm; it is why I paid for your course and Beato's "Ear Training. I only play for pleasure and to try to rehab a damaged memory, per doctors. I am 74 with badly beaten up hands and the beginnings of EC's nerve problem. Before this, I watched today's Taj Mahal analysis. My music and my guitars.

[@jamesbeardsley3390]

Love the enthusiasm Michael! He does make that guitar sound like crying and gives me the chills. Can anyone else agree that Freddie's shirt is awesome too I need one of those!

[@jamespost4546]

I am so excited - this is my all time favorite player. Love his tone.

[@calravens8707]

Michael, thanks so much for keeping the spirit of the Blues masters alive on your channel , too. It´s a treat watching you react on it, plus super cool mentioning Anthony for his superb work on this vids!

Freddie King was a major influence on Michael Bloomfield's playing. A reaction to Bloomfield would be great.

[@davidhattman7649]

You have BB, Albert and in my Humble the best of them all Freddie. He was just an incredible guitar player and he was a big influence on Eric Clapton.

[@adamrowan-lovell6051]

This is one of two of my favourite blues performances. The second being BB King and Gary Moore playing the Thrill is Gone. This performance, in particular, has so much character, style and feeling. Just love Freddie!

[@rachelkopel5678]

Yes, you had reacted to Freddie King before, but i am only seeing this tonight, March 2023. Yes, the performance is visceral. My heart and breath are syncing in. The crazy part is i want to play along on my ukulele. Always love you Michael.

[@TheKornheaD]

Yes! Freddie!

[@redhousej]

I lost count of how many times I got chills during Freddie's performance. Such a good showman. And a perfect blues musician with a wonderful band at the top of their game. Thank you for this! Long live the blues!

[@bambino903]

Thank you Mr.Palmisano for introducing such a great moment of blues music. Freddie, he’s so warm , straightforward and sincere guy always makes me feel Okay!!

[@lifegoeson2183]

That vibrato from Freddie is insane.

[@chrisc1674]

I followed your BB video with Freddie, whew...what a great way to contrast the beautiful subtlety that is BB with the raw power and cutting tone that is Freddie. Two masters with their own unique voice. The three Kings are still the pinnacle after 60+ years. I've played blues since I was 17 and I'm still learning from these 3 at 53. Thanks for the deep dive and different approach

[@mathmusicstructure]

His band switches feel all the time. Watch "woman across the river." It literally changed my musical life forever.

[@IJR911]

30 years ago, on an overnight radio show, where the DJ actually played his own records, he played 3 songs in a row by Freddie King. Meet Me In The Morning, Sweet Home Chicago, and the climax...Further On Up The Road, with Eric Clapton. I was in my car, 4 in the morning, making deliveries, I remember exactly where I was, when the last song ended, I said out loud...Damn! I have to learn how to play guitar. I played the drums since I was 9. Now I was 30 and that day, I found a guitar teacher and learned how to play. Thank you Freddie King.

[@The-11]

This is my favorite Freddie King performance. I can't count how many times I've watched and listened to this and David Maxwell on piano is so good ! Awesome to see you react to this. Thank you

[@The-11]

Here is another 1 for you. Freddie plays a set in '72 between Grand Funk Railroad sets. Freddie's set starts around 19:54. Pure fire from the Texas Cannonball . kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYeocqSabLyJh68

My soul needed that right now. GD that was an all time performance across the board. Blown away.

[@thympanu]

This Man is king too..like BB and MR. Albert. So intense. Long life to blues.

[@judemay2849]

BB was classy and subtle, Albert was smooth with style, Freddie had attitude and aggression with every note he ever hit

[@wallaceturneriii6064]

wow magical performance

[@cloudcorby420]

I regard Freddie as the funkiest of the blues masters. Personally my favorite. And dare I say the best singer of the 3 kings being BB, Albert, Freddie. For my taste I prefer Freddie's style. There all legends though.

[@johndurost5931]

this gentleman is 100 percent correct....it has to be built,he's not singing and playing a song,he's channeling,a feeling ,an event,a memory and thru patience and emotive playing and singing your feeling his pain and experience joyously and bitter joy pouring out all over and most importantly it's 100 percent Authentic REAL PAIN JOY an BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO...GOd BLESS....PEACE....IM PIANO PLAYER in a blues band....t.y.for.putting up with my most heartfelt Opinions and TRUTH

So much fun, so much joy. And this is a blues... love this, so much.

[@sixslinger9951]
