I love that guitar between Albert and Mick. Epic. Wow.

[@hishamferzli4133]

One big bend by King Albert and all is settled..

[@WeFrost62]

Boy, the bass player sure has it together, making that "train of thought change" starting at 5:55. I totally wasn't expecting that change, but the bass player sure was! :-)

[@dvrn86]

My absolute favourite performance of this track.

@@dvrn86 Recorded Live: 6/18/1982 - Capitol Theatre - Passaic, NJ. No more this historical place. :(

[@earlblack2914]

No doubt about it. That bass player was really into it. There's always a first. First time Ive ever heard this song with a harmonica solo by Mayall. Good old school blues that I've ever heard.

[@starsonb]

The whole show was professionally filmed by Lenn Dell Amico and partly released on the video ‘Blues Alive' in 1984 and re-released with three more tracks on the DVD 'Jammin’ With The Blues Greats' in December 1998.

[@petrucarp2512]

Beautiful music!

[@dvrn86]

Albert just diggin John on that harmonica.

[@chatae-shik1479]

Absolutely. John's tone on the harp here is astounding. Albert's also digging the hell out of Taylor, as we all are. Everything about this track is righteous.

[@danielwilliamson4356]

That's the good stuff.

[@jeffsmith2022]

Saw Mr. Mayall and his band live in downtown Providence, RI in the late 90s, awesome...

[@tuxguys]

3-chord Rock 'n' Roll? Obviously, in the hands of Blues Giants, that's 2 chords two many. What a kick to see Mayall and Taylor reunited; what a kick to see Bandleader Mayall become Sideman Mayall to the second of the Three Kings. I've always maintained this, and this clip affirms it: Mick Taylor, the third member of the Second Great Blues-Rock Guitarist Triumvirate (Eric Clapton and Peter Green were the other two) was a bad fit for the Rolling Stones because... ...THEY were not good enough to play with HIM.

Albert you forgot your bass player!!

[@elbuenjavonoso]

Not the heavy weights of the blues, but still a perfect interpretation of this classic.

[@friendofbeaver6636]

Hendrix, SRV, Clapton, and anyone (including Mick Taylor), playing those deep over-driven bends were/are reaching for Albert King's soulfulness! He made this song a "classic." Six-foot-four, two hundred fifty pound Albert King was once known as "The Velvet Bulldozer!" John Mayall is credited as the "Godfather" of British Blues! Mick Taylor played in Mayall's band before joining the Stones. I see "heavy weights!"

[@youreatoilet]

All I see are heavyweights! Albert King is one of the most influential blues guitarists especially on the british blues scene, and Mick Taylor.. just listen to him make that strat sing. Must I say more!

shame it speeds up from the start, then its too fast and loses feel

mick taylor was in the bluesbreakers before the stones he left the stones because they were turning back to rock based tunes and didnt need a blues based guitarist

[@CleanNOTSerene]

I thought the harp was a bit annoying...Get out of the way and let Albert play for crying out loud.

[@norfolknwhey4787]

Agreed. It sounds so much better played in 3rd position as well. Mayall just didn’t have it on this one.

[@dianecurtiss7415]

It sure was awful having a commercial right in the middle of the music.

[@speedygonzales4707]

The drummer f+cked up his entrance and the tempo was too slow to begin with then they struggled hard to recover. The bassist tried his best to find the groove.

[@MontyCantsin5]

I don't think they struggled to recover at all. Can you point me in the direction of a performance of 'Born Under...' that has a better groove than this?

[@vt750dc]

The fuck is that harp player doin?
