JOE BONAMASSA, CHRISTONE KINGFISH INGRAM, JOSH SMITH, MIKE ZITO, PAUL SHAFFER SUPER SESSION JAM KTBA

Paul Shaffer host a super session jam onboard the Keeping The Blues Alive 2020 cruise. We are in a storm with wicked rough seas and people are just getting seated, so the video is a little shaky at the beginning.

[@RA-dc5qp]

When you hear the name "Kingfish", you know you are in for a treat.

[@ecologics]

Yeah

[@rommelrivera1186]

my boy Kingfish finally looked young next to Joe, but man, nobody can out-age that soulful voice. they're each a blues savage in their own right.

[@larrybethune3909]

Man, you got to take a solo WAY before those guys play. Way Before!

[@johnc-tp7vt]

Marcus King would've been great to

[@kimeyfowler2123]

Yes kids good just seen him open in Spartanburg SC for Buddy Guy

[@ckmolenaar]

Joe is good, but............ Kingfish will be the new legend

[@Whiteshark111]

Thats laughable

[@rot360]

@Omari Kameron shut up

[@Vreth6]

I love Kingfish, but he's not Joe. both are great musicians it's not a competetion, Joe just nails everything, prob because of experience.

[@c.s.mcleod7383]

Joe Bonamassa is King oc da Blooz

[@rickl4159]

Joe is master, Kingfish is student.

[@GortTheCapybara320]

both joe and kingfish are amazing, every lick that comes out of them is satisfaction

[@YourFriendNate]

No bullshit, mark my words. Kingfish WILL be filling arenas.. Mark em!!!

[@sanjayjain310]

Saw him live in Toronto late Feb 2020. I am not sure he knows how good he is ! God bless him. I would definitely pay to see him in an arena and even more in an intimate setting like a blues bar!

[@I_like_turtles_67]

FUCK I hope so. Tired of hearing the Ed's & The Ellish's on the radio.

[@IntelInside2020]

@@sanjayjain310 yes, he is an extremely humble and has a kind energy. But when he starts playing the axe, the alter ego come out.

[@MrCherryJuice]

For anyone skipping Paul Schaffer's introduction, that is the tremendous Will Calhoun and Doug Wimbish of Living Colour on drums and bass respectively.

[@mikefrank6319]

Paul's brothers .Living Colour lays down the sickest grooves ever, and their breakdowns are like no other.

[@WeAreNotAmused]

That reminds me What about Vernon Reid from living color. Damn good guitarist

[@rogerrice5325]

Hell yeah it is

[@williamdon3442]

Watching kingfish and joe is like when jeff healey and srv jammed. I think we just witnessed something great

[@MyJc1967]

I would love to see Stevie Ray Vaughan play with kingfish. This would have been really amazing to see this. Stevie Ray Vaughan was the best blues guitar player I’ve ever seen in my life.

[@Bellabaddi]

Nope! You witnessed something ok

[@LUckybones25]

Kingfish, Joe B, and Josh Smith? Wow!! Way too much talent on one stage! 🙇

[@simonvanderheijden432]

At 6:33 Joe is adjusting his Klon Centaur pedal. I would like to point out that the pedal is probably worth more than Mr Kingfish's entire set-up. Point being.. Y'all don't need expensive gear to sound amazing

[@sgtpepper6499]

Facts

[@avgjoegeek71]

Joe's guitar is probably worth more than all of their gear put together.

[@Zoetropeification]

Absolutely.

I love that Mr. Shaffer has supported over many years (my favorite band since 87) living colour & appreciate his doing so for another favorite, Kingfish. My sincerest gratitude to Mr. Paul Shaffer

[@romika3]

Kingfish has something I can't put my finger on but he is absolutely amazing ... :)

[@royhoco5748]

I just recently discovered Kingfish Ingram and he has a new fan and follower. "let the good times roll!'

[@jeffrojacobs8094]

The whole performance was great. Joe B is my favorite of the soloists. His smooth tasty feel is Incredible. "Kingfish" sounds great too! Love the wah' action. Blues at its best right here.

[@johndicapua2412]

I told Joe Bonawho.... at the time... that he was next big thing in the blues ! One down --- one to go ... KINGFISH 21 and amazing !

[@Audiomajik]

Much respect to all of these fine guitarists, playing so well with each other and not stepping on each other's toes. Kingfish is earning his moniker. Doug and Will are beasts but they stayed in the pocket and let everyone else shine! Excellent performance!

[@johnsmith-ke7xu]

kingfish has it all

[@ronrogers6942]

Why is there so much made of who is better I like Joes music and Kingfishes music they are both great guitarists and play well together their styles are different and its what makes them great. Long may it continue.

[@rogerrice5325]

Well said my friend

[@robertoruiz9049]

Joe B is still the best!! Very very tasteful selections in his solos!!

[@paytonpoynter3761]

They all sound great.

Both Joe and Kingfisher are awesome Blues Men!!! Enjoy them both why doncha!!! 👍

Kingfish what a talent love from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿.

[@trevorgwelch7412]

If Robin Trower was as young as they are and was up on stage he would be doing things that would be very difficult to copy , there's more to the blues then just 12 bars .

[@SilverLoggerhead]

❤❤❤

[@sjladuke75]

What a phenomenal lineup. As a blues fan for decades this is a stellar performance & the ONLY way I'd ever go on a cruise. Someday I'll get to do Joe's Blues Cruise & hopefully the phenomenal Beth Hart will be among those performing too.

[@johnnydodgecountry9508]

Proud to say Bonamassa is from my home town...He's always entertaining and such a great talent. Those other guys sound good , too. Nice job , guys !

[@l8tapex]

throw in Eric gales, Phil Sayce, Marcus King we are blessed with all these cats... not to mention the latest Quinn Sullivan.... we set and Im older.

[@IntelInside2020]

Quinn--Buddy's protege--saw him play several years ago. Great talent.

[@AMaj7Sharp5]

cant believe im just seeing this in 23. Excellent line up, sweet blues!

[@patriciascott4211]

Blues fest this weekend in San Diego. I'll be happy to see Kingfish fo sho... although every year I keep saying, why don't they ever have Joe Bonamassa at this fest??? Man.. these artists right here all together would be a treat

[@wildpony1957]

Best cruise of my life! Looking forward to February 2022!!!

[@suznmer1254]

See you there!!!!

GREAT CRUISE TOLD KINGFISH --- HE WILL BE A SUPERSTAR ... AS I TOLD JOE BONAMASSA ... SOME 15 YEARS AGO -- ALSO LOOK OUT FOR ERIC STECKEL, ALBERT CUMMINGS JUST TO NAME TWO .... KINGFISH THEN TOOK 7 OF 7 BLUES AWARDS !!

[@endlessbegin1350]

Please name me some more! Thanks!

[@johndicapua2412]

Great cruise .... then Covid ---- Hoping it gets safe ASAP so I can cruise with Joe Bonamassa and the other great acts. Kingfish was very humble and a delight to meet ! When he walked the ship... playing the blues ... yes, he stole it from Buddy Guy -- who did the same !

It was a blast!

Kingfish guy will have to work like Joe to be the legend everyone wants. JB works his butt off and has a solid business plan, always touring.

[@vincent7160]

I like how Paul has to play conductor! Lmao! Kingfish is the man!!!!

The new king. Kingfish is awesome. 🔥🙌🏼

[@JJ-bm2jj]

Awesome!!!!

[@misplacedcajun2325]

I think we all agree what a great picker and bluesman the Kingfish is. Also, you'll notice, he has short thick fingers - as do I. That makes learning the instrument even more difficult. He is amazing.

[@barr5173]

makes for a fat tone. it all matters

[@MAP448]

They are all good but Josh Smith is the best six stringer right now.

[@jtheprospector.1458]

Kingfish is on a SRV level. I've been playing for some time and yes he is that good. Just look at Joe watching him play in amazement. Not saying he beats anyone but he has un matched potential in this day and age of rock and blues amongst younger artists. His new signature Telecaster is awesome.

[@aprils6589]

And he was just 21y.o at the time. Such a powerhouse.

[@SuperShanej]

In terms to Colour and maturity, I really dig Josh Smith, he is not loud but has the Blues "Blabber", technically the most sound amongst the lot by a fair margin to be honest.

[@johndicapua2412]

AMONG THE FEW BANDS THAT I DIDN'T KNOW ON THE CRUISE ...LOVED KINGFISH, JOSH SMITH AND JARED JAMES NICHOLS THE MOST

[@thomasmartinscott]

I can't help but notice this. You could hear 4 bars by Jimi Hendrix, or Jimmy Page, or Eric Clapton, or Jeff Beck, or any number of others Steve Miller, Dave Mason, etc, and you knew it was them... they each had their own style and their own sound. If I didn't look closely at this, I couldn't tell which one of them was playing. Just an observation.

KINGFISH may get there but BONAMASSA is still the KING of that FISH.

Kingfish seems like he sings only because the audience expects it. But looks like he can't wait to get back to that guitar. Thankfully he has a great voice. He's essentially a guitar with legs and arms.
