This is stupid good. Seeing Marcus & Band next month, and I'm counting the days...

[@miloperichitch6395]

There is hope for the future of rock n roll.

[@HomesteadHarvest]

Listening to Marcus King gives me hope that Southern Rock like Lynyrd Skynyrd & Allman Brothers will never die. Bucket list is to see him jam live

[@justsomeguy820]

I'm seeing him in 2 weeks, even though it's on a Thursday. I feel the same way and I'm excited.

[@Brembelia]

You lips; God's ear. Southern Rock rocks.

[@BillieBreathes]

Also, Tedeschi Trucks band.

[@toadabone]

Saw him twice so far. Once with the full band last December at the Beacon theater and once on on the drive in tour in early September. To hear a three piece to me was more impressive. Just how a drummer, bass player and guitar/singer play so tight and fill out the sound was incredible! To witness Marcus play and sing with only those three was something to witness. The whole show from start to finish blew me away.

[@DonnieSoultrain]

Blackberry Smoke, The Steel Woods, Whiskey Myers, 49 Winchester, The Georgia Thunderbolts, Chris Roberts, just to name a few, are also keeping the spirit of Southern rock alive! Don't give up hope!

[@elihintz5620]

I can’t get over how good he is it’s insane

[@JamesAllmond]

I swear he plays like Jimi Hendrix and can belt it out a lyric like Janis Joplin. About the highest praise I can give someone playing/singing this style of music!

[@rationalrabbit797]

Wonderful guitarist, melodic, fast when needed but still melodic, fluid and soulful, and incredibly varied playing, never boring. Definitely one of the very best guitarists ever. And the voice! As good a singer as he is a guitarist.

[@Jay91Byrd]

I HIGHLY recommend seeing the Marcus King Band live. They are all talented at their instruments and are a perfect fit for each other. They will melt your brain every single time.

[@russellteramo3482]

Dying for live music to start again and Marcus is a big MUST SEE on my list..so much talent for one so young.. Hottest GUITAR PLAYER in the land!! SMOKIN'😎

[@wutz4tea]

SMH, I'm an old gramma and I just love him. He is THE..."Hottest GUITAR PLAYER in the land!! SMOKIN'😎"

[@alessandrocassandrin816]

Grazie Nick. Well done!

[@Barry2theB]

Nick Bordonaro Thanks!👍

[@moreorlesslikeso]

From about one hour an 2 minutes to one hour and 13 minutes they go into (or a jam over) the fusion classic "Stratus" by Billy Cobham (famously covered by Jeff Beck and other greats as well). I guess that should be inserted into the list. And not forgetting: the "cover" starting at 01:21:52 is a Frank Zappa tune: "Eat that Question" from the "Grand Wazoo" album (1972).

[@pikesaunders6678]

Cover of the The Meters "The Dragon" at 1:00 to 1:02

[@davidvallone1476]

Smoking Hot Good... So very cool to see Father and Son play on stage together.

[@patriciapauline2172]

Saw this band perform at Crossroads in Dallas in September for the first time and he is superb live. My daughter had worked late the night before the concert on Friday and when he came on the stage, he woke her up. Can't wait to see this band perform again. What a great guitarist he deserved to be playing at Crossroads.

[@tazmankb26]

Yes that was also the first time I saw him live. He was definitely pumped to be there and flat out out jammed everyone else that night including the great Jeff Beck. I'm not sure what the heck the deal was with Johnny Deep playing with Jeff Beck was about, but it ruined his performance.

[@ann-mariefrank644]

I saw Marcus the first time at Crossroads as well. Wasn't that a great festival. Two days of pure joy. Marcus was incredible - he certainly gained a whole new audience that night. Hope to see him again when everything gets back to normal again.

[@ann-mariefrank644]

@@tazmankb26 I was at Crossroads as well. It was rather peculiar having Johnny Depp play with Beck. Maybe they're friends...who knows? Despite that, the festival was great. Two glorious days of music.

[@lidawitherspoon806]

I will love you like a guitar in your hand

[@TeoForgetti22]

I don't use my words lightly when I say it can't get any better.! I just found Marcus King band yesterday and I am blown away by this guy and the band but especially this guy! I defy you to find somebody more talented...

[@TheRickglane]

Same here! I just discovered him a few weeks ago and he is totally amazing!!✌️

[@toddmyers3155]

Billy Strings one of his best friends

[@jesseduncan5139]

I agree if you listen to the first album, every song is good and different. The band kicks complete ass.

[@zztopless]

@@toddmyers3155 maaaaaan, you can’t even compare the two. Billy is a freaking beast and so is Marcus but in two very different ways. you can tell who is who, without seen either one of them just based off their guitar playing. Billy is super creative, very well-rounded, and lightning fast…. Whereas Marcus the soul, and while I love Billy’s playing that’s where he’s lacking for me. Let’s hope they continue to play together throughout the years. if those two were to put a band together, they would conquer the world.

[@mantelmann13]

That dude has such a great voice.

[@bluesgirl65]

Damn ,I love this guy!

[@prophetsbourne1136]

This kid makes me believe fully in reincarnation! This soul has been on a stage playing long before this lifetime!

[@guitymon]

The synth solo that starts around the 1:04:00 is one of the greatest things I've ever seen! Truly amazing how well he has mastered the pitch bending wheel.

[@somethinglikemayer]

i stopped everything i was doing as soon as this solo started!

[@leighannw2855]

Amazing Marcus!

[@bluespig1]

Well done all of you & thanks for uploading the content. I'm from Sydney, Australia, in my 50's, play a few instruments & blues is my thing. Joe Bonamassa introduced me to MK on the KTBA Cruise and I was fascinated by his story. Marcus is an old soul for sure and I have immense pride in the younger players dedicating their lives to this particular genre. Marcus King is a wonderfully talented young man with a monstrous career ahead of him.

[@dannyjr831]

The Marcus King Band is one of my favorite bands!!

[@jefffrankel6247]

Lets Go Islanders!!

[@timferguson6205]

wow sounding good lovev my. Southern Brothers !!!!!!

It just doesn’t get better than this. Marcus is my Elvis!

[@pg123ab]

Great band, Marcus is an amazing guitarist and his voice is smooth as molasses

[@MrRockinguitar]

Way to go Marcus !!!!!!! Thank you for sharing your talent...….always amazing !!!!!!!

[@justjesus6857]

helping me through a troubled time right now thank you marcus

[@rohw0016]

Great young musicians are amazing. Month by month you watch them get better and better, lovin what they doin. I had a similar experience when watching Molly Tuttle grow and grow till she won bluegrass picker of the year... An award I'm not sure a woman has won.

[@betulegi8931]

Outstanding live performance..

[@tonywallens217]

Most good blues guitarists kind of sing. This guy is a singer in his own right and plays the hell out of the guitar. I don’t skip to the solos with him

[@ryanbrennan4203]

A show that changed my life - what a weekend.

[@timrouse9273]

I want to thank KZbin for bringing this Badass into my life!

[@timferguson6205]

yes sir KZbin youtube rocks

[@ryanlopez8976]

Still the best show of 2019

[@leighannw2855]

This young man feels every note every lyric. I'm so moved by his natural talent and presence. Hard working and strong. Of course, raised in the heart of Appalachia. My great grandfather had a plantation in South Carolina back in the day. Later my family took up residence on the other side of the North Carolina state line Tennessee. Just over the Foothills of the Smokiés. Jefferson County Blount County. I grew up in the late 70s. Every summer I flew back to East Tennessee from Texas. I know that road all to well. You know, the road that runs from Tennessee to Texas. Marcus King Band you guys are awesome! I'm com'in to a show soon. I'll let you know when I'm there. Until then Be Safe and God Bless you all. 💯🤛 🇺🇲 🎼🎸🕶️🎩✔️☮️

[@DaddyMandM]

I just enjoyed this great concert full of envy of those who were present, as North Carolina is far from Denmark, and then I discovered that the band is playing in Copenhagen in march, so now I' have one more reason to look forward to the spring

[@darktor]

hell yeah buddy, seeing them this sunday in DC, can't wait

[@kyleplummer3170]

Great musicianship.These guys are on another level

[@DavidWootenJr]

I just witnessed this man and his band in Raleigh, N.C. on New Year's Eve. They are incredible and will be looking forward to his up and coming concerts in my area. People say he has an old soul. After watching him this evening I would have to agree.

[@mayor_of_marrickville]

[@ghjtredsw]

Who else also regrets not going to that Marcus King show at the local pub in early 2020?

[@mattfoley2315]

I’d wish u all would quit comparing Markus or Billy to bands gone by. They were great! !!!!!! But these kids are so much better. Let them keep doing what makes you keep listening.

[@russellmarshall673]

Being compared to legends of Southern blues/rock at 24 isn't a bad thing. Agree this kid will create his own legacy and leave big shoes to fill. Great to see a resurgence in Southern-based bands like MKB, the Cold Stares, Rival Sons, St Paul and the Broken Bones, Kingfish all great acts on the verge of making it big...

Marcus is the King of Flawless Execution each and every time I see him play.

[@iamavl]

Yes! I doesn't look like he is even pushing. Just a natural!

[@moreorlesslikeso]

This is musically every minute as good and inspiring as any Marcus King concert I've seen/heard so far. Great man, great band! I wonder, however, if it's only me who thinks that Marcus’ guitar sound seems a bit harsh here (possibly due to some effects pedals used here but not generally at other occasions). I don't want to actually complain and It's possibly just nit picking, but I personally do miss the somewhat more "organic" sound I've heard on other live captures.

[@iamavl]

Well you you might be right. All of this was captured and livestreamed in real time. Everyone does the best they can (us too) and so we make no apologies. Damn that would make a great song title " No apologies."
