The Marcus King Band - 1.5hr. LIVE SET @ Wolf Hills Brewery - Abingdon, VA - 6/22/17

[@jordanmccallum6866]

I cannot get enough of this cat! Seamlessly transitions from grimy, chunky blues to a real, soulful jazz sound and his voice is decades older than he is! Brilliant!

[@cnking27]

You can tell he loves making music and communicating through song and not just ripping off great licks. It makes all the difference.

[@MickINGeorgia]

So with ya on that!!! WOW.. Just got turned onto him and memorized by his sound and band!!

[@tonyedwards2064]

@@MickINGeorgia I just came across this "Cat" as well!! And you most definitely have to refer to Marcus King as a Cat..CAUSE HE IS JUST A BAD ASS CAT!! Damn Man, I haven't heard anything as Motown soulful, with the Organ that slowly bridges you into a tight and concise lead, that once his fingers catch the key, can get as gritty and blue as any of the best to play..That's my story and i'm defiantly sticking to it..shit

[@bluesgirl65]

@@cnking27 lmao

[@masonsimpson4296]

I'll say for the record....Devil got a package Deal with Marcus and this bunch! Finally some of these young musicians are putting the Horns back in..60s 70s stuff, good back then, good now! Watch these Guys!

[@grantheflin9962]

I wonder if the crowd realizes they’re witnessing one of the greatest musicians of all time - at a brewery.

[@Barry2theB]

Yes indeed man and this was a “Free” show! It was originally planned to be outdoors at the local farmers market pavilion in Abingdon. Due to the weather the show was moved inside to the brewery close by. As you can see the place was over crowded. Believe me most folks knew what they were witnessing there. I was there knowing this would be one of the last times this band would perform in such a small and intimate setting.

[@grantheflin9962]

@@Barry2theB wow! Just makes me love this cat so much more! Your skills are incredible too, Barry! Thanks for making these amazing videos! I watch this one at LEAST once a week.

[@fredpg]

Whoever says there's no good music being played today by the young generation needs to listen to Marcus King and his band.

[@greggcashmore805]

Totally agree....I'd given up on music until last year when I first came Marcus King and Derek Trucks....amazing talent....bringing great guitar music back !!!!!! Love it

[@MetalForLife1970]

Amen🙏🏻

[@Bhamx2]

Watching this in 2024... Im just finding Marcus... Better late then never. Band is killing it

[@MetalForLife1970]

Just saw him in Columbus after discovering him about a year ago! What a talent!

[@DrStrange1000]

Me too. Just discovered it. WOW!!

[@thorben5135]

in my opinion this is one of the best gig´s in history So Cold 0:00 You Pulled The Trigger / Jam 5:30 Love is Empty 16:55 Aint Nothing Wrong With That 21:39 Keep Moving / Spirit Of Thunder 28:15 Boone 42:00 Thespian Espionage 47:12 Self Harted / Dreams 58:00 Virgina 1:11:12 This Ol Cowboy 1:18:52 song 1-3 are previously unreleased, hope they will be on a record some day (and all of those other great original MK tunes) especially "love is empty" is one of the greatest ever written. i think i listened to this one minimum 300x - no kidding. thanks for release

[@jackieringersma7003]

Indeed

[@jamesward8860]

Thanks and I might mention that at 13:50 they briefly go into a bluegrass classic called "0range Blossom Special" This is definitely a great show thanks to all those involved in getting it out for us lucky music lovers to enjoy!!

[@guitar138]

Is Spirit of Thunder an unreleased song?

[@isaacsloane7477]

A lot of these are actually covers but they do great versions of them

[@DrStrange1000]

Thank you SO MUCH

[@bretschwartz]

Good Lord.......The Allman Bros had a baby with Steely Dan......just fantastic....what a band!

[@gironni3158]

it's even scary to watch this much talent. I mean... this guy is on a whole different level

[@mikekelly5955]

I just found about these guys at around 130 p.m. today . It’s now 10:30 at night and I have to wake up at 430 for work but I can’t stop listening to them !!! This show is unreal, but I’ve cranked through like 2 studio albums and tins of your tubes . I’m a truck driver and do day trips , I’m home every night but all day I listen anything and eveything all day long. Usually I get home and watch some news and go to bed. I can’t with these guys. I’m truly hooked . This some awesome stuff and I have become a major fan today !! Tomorrow morning is gonna suck but it’s worth it!!! 👍👍🔥🔥

[@cheryllaredo7771]

Listen to beautiful stranger. Konk you right out.

[@codymoore2740]

How does this not have 10million views, ya know ?

[@toniheron6186]

Marcus and his band’s ability to fluently move from one genre to another in one piece of music is sensational ,really special.

[@kenmurphy6792]

Yes! Rock, Jazz, Soul and Blues. There's just NO limit to what they can do!

[@blademan6075]

This young music man is exactly what music needed to emerge and do the things that the greats who came before him did. Thank you Marcus King and your supporting band members! Thank you.

[@cheryllaredo7771]

I saw an interview with him on CBS this morning. He was bullied all his childhood cuz he was fat, n didn't have a mother. She left when he was 5. He still don't know who she is. He decided at 13 to pick up a guitar. Be the best at it, becuz if you're the best, nobody can make fun of you anymore.

[@caucajunman5930]

Whom ever put any thumbs down on this video doesn't know music and don't have no clue how talented and hard working these musicians are.

[@KevlarDgr8]

And horns screaming at ya ya gotta love Nola style

[@gabrielm.4554]

having seen this guy twice, I can assure you that those folks in the bar were deaf the next day. MKB is a LOUD ass band. Love it

[@hardwood1274]

I am glad real music is not dead!

[@RM-lk1so]

Dammmm!! Listened to it the first time ALL THE WAY FROM START TO FINISH.

[@moreorlesslikeso]

Marcus is a perfect example for a musician who doesn't (just) stun you with (however admirable) technical ability but moves you with his genuine musicality and touches your soul with his art.

[@brucifer90]

DOES ANYONE HAVE A SET LIST? Man What Talent! All Genre's Something for EVERYBODY! Marcus and Band, you are Musicians Musicians!

[@cheryllaredo7771]

He should have a million hits right now!

[@cheryllaredo7771]

And he's not even 30 years old yet... and that voice with that guitar. Yes, something we been waiting for since hendrix n page.

[@Gypsy-Brown]

without question

[@caseybarnett8708]

Im so happy this performance was recorded! The MKB are the truth!

[@davidvallone1476]

Never tire of listening to this.So So Good.

[@greggcashmore805]

Me too...just incredible isn't it... what a talent.... love the solo at 25:28 👍👍

[@brandangraham21]

I miss the old mkb.. but will always be one of my favorites. Even on this new youngblood tour he blew me away live.. he really is just fun to watch.

[@laurencohn296]

😊

[@adam614ce]

that drummer is bad ass!

[@TaiandRoxanne]

Yippee! Love me some Marcus King Band--possibly the best living blues singer working today...

[@daveschaller9259]

I would have loved to have seen this in that setting! Even back then, there were no "light weights" in this band. Every one of those players is crushing it and the synergy is amazing!

[@cheryllaredo7771]

I would have danced my ass off!

[@valeriestaton6474]

I love this band! So new with all the Old blues and Jazz! Love the horns!!! Love the whole sound! Rock on guys!!!

[@caseybarnett8708]

Marcus loves them horns….and I oves me some Marcus King Band!

[@glennleybourne145]

As a double threat on vocals and guitar he is as good as it gets

[@newfreenayshaun6651]

I've been listening for a while now, folks, we have a new authority on what good music is. Thank you gentlemen for bringin it back to the table!

[@kenmurphy6792]

MK ULTRA! All the way baby! King is KING! Proclaim it. Tell everyone that you meet, there's a NEW Sheriff in town, and his name, is Marcus King! At the tender age of 22, The newly crowned King, has plenty of time. Time to build, on an already impressive catalog of songs, ALL songs (with the exception of a rare cover), are written and arranged by none other than the man himself !! I hesitate to say it but... are we seeing the emergence of a "GENIUS" here?? The SKY is the limit, for Mr. Marcus King. *and he doesn't appear to be afraid of heights~~~~~~~~~~~~~ footnote~~~ I really dig the drumming by Jack Ryan of Red October fame*

[@yesman2755]

Yeh agree wholeheartedly, superstardom beckons. This band is so damned refreshing, can’t get enough of them.

[@rchw8052]

One of the best concerts I've ever seen and I've only seen them on youtube.

[@gabereiser]

Mr King is the only guy who can write tunes that works the whole band.

[@MattyWill1]

I love Jack on the drums too. So slick and tasteful.

[@chrisgartland1967]

He's a Monster !!! An Absolute F@ckin Monster !!! Absolutely Beautiful man !!! Insane !!! The entire Band is just Insane !!! Now that's called "Magic" brothers, straight from the Soul !!!

[@chrisgartland1967]

I'm blown away man !!!

[@chrisgartland1967]

Nobody can touch you dude, nobody. It's time to put you on stage with with Satriani, Vai, Govan, Bonamassa, and let it rip in a real jam, everyone will know "what's up" then !!!

[@chrisgartland1967]

After a little while they'd all just back up and let you run brother !!! They'd have no choice !!!

[@chrisgartland1967]

I mean, damn !!! I'm blown away man... Chris.

[@Elwooddudes]

What a band!

[@jancuica353]

Great drummer holds the band and make them sound better.

[@xFreestyleKingx]

I'd love to have a band like you Marcus!! As I'm a drummer. You got flow and riffs like nothing else. You are one of the best in the making, hands down!! 🙌

[@J_Beazy223]

Dang Marcus! You don't realize how awesome you are bro! There is so much emotion in your music. You are so fortunate to have strated playng at such a young age. You have your own voice on that guitar that is like no other. Also your vocals are great man! Its all about the emotion. Coming from a singer first and guitar player now; man we are never happy with our own voices lol. Wanna sound a certain way through the speakers. But the best way it will ever sound is owning what u have and let your feelings out with your heart. You got it man. Rock on!

[@leonwhitehorse1099]

sometimes I hear Marcus channeling Stevie Ray, but I when I hear him channeling Zappa it's so great. Zappa was such an overlooked guitarist! it melts my brain!

[@cheryllaredo7771]

Don't forget zappa moved Lowell George to form little feat.

[@cheryllaredo7771]

If that ain't blue skies by the Allman Brothers, what is?

[@cheryllaredo7771]

Nobody plays the blues like that on a Gibson. That's strat material.. but he walked on that stage with the last song on the little feat concert, n let it rip.. they knew he had it going on.

[@philippelereveur]

HUGE ! Marcus king is a genius.

[@DangolWhopper]

Marcus belongs on all of the top 100 lists.

[@Linox82]

Insane drummer, WOW !!

[@NotMarkKnopfler]

About 16 million times more melodic and interesting than Bonamassa. JB is a great player, but this guy here is hitting all the sweet spots for me.

[@kardRatzinger]

Good that we have an a-hole licking expert here with us to declare that.

[@MD-st2ir]

2 different people playing 2 different styles of music , both equally talented and I'm sure Marcus King would amen me!

[@541dose7]

MKB rules

[@tomj4128]

Bonamassa is one of the most highly overrated guitarist out there.

[@kenmurphy6792]

AMEN! I'm not Marcus King, but I do know a "bit" on the subject. Unfair comparison. Please~ NO a-hole licking here! expert~``` 1 things 4 sure, he's a nice guy! ~~~ kzbin.info/www/bejne/mWbCfqB9fbuLhqM

[@jacobnussbaum53]

I’ve seen this man twice now - much later than this video was taken. These people got their moneys worth!

[@Barry2theB]

At the time, this was a free show! I knew it would be one of the last small venue events for this band.

[@toddfuss1813]

Man, I wish I saw that show.

[@drumskin4448]

You can hear the influence from all the greats in his music, very enjoying to listen to this performance......only 22......very cool !!!

[@rchalec9511]

Been following these guys since Jam in the Van and now they’re about to tour with Black Keys and Gary Clark Jr. Caught them live twice and they are great live. Keep rockin fellas.

[@100bankerrob]

So dissapointed that was canceled. With a lineup like that it'd have been a tremendous evening. Perhaps in the future

[@greggcashmore805]

Still watching this atleast once a week after coming across it last year...just love it...a new guitar legend for sure!!! Marcus inspires my guitar playing constantly.... Just love the guitar solo at 25:30...wow!!!! Straight from soul that one

[@Peters518]

Speachless .. beyond blues and soul .. deeper than into the bone!! Peet the Swede

[@MarkWolfeDesign]

who the hell could give tHIS a thumbs down?!

[@glennleybourne145]

Actually you know you are scary good when you get the jealousy thumbs down

[@kenmurphy6792]

puppy kickers!

[@Barrelsmoke]

An idiot

[@cavalryscout8720]

For Marcus to happen upon the bass and drum rhythm section was equally phenomenal as his own talent.. It's as if the winds brought them together..

[@lapidarydave]

Love u Marc n band❤️

[@TheMaxg85]

This is my favorite MKB set :)

[@stier5668]

...it`s fun to see Jack Ryan.

Glad to stumble on this just today. So have been watching The Marcus King band segments today. They are a terrific band. Loaded with a unique talent.

[@chatbotdiaries]

LOVE the Orange Blossom Special shout out!!!!!!! Holy Shit wasn't expecting that. Made a mountain boy hella happy!

[@94757598494309438]

and all because a Norfolk Southern Train happened to come flying by!!!

[@quito787]

Those are god-tier skills right there

[@thomasmedeiros5722]

I am a big fan of Marcus King and his band. Personally I think he is best young (22 year old) talent out there. We could argue about guitar players but no one sings and writes better that Marcus King. Thanks for the video.

[@vibn999]

I'm a long time MKB fan and I have to tell you guys, this set is pure perfection. Somethig feels extra special about this one. The mood, flow, groove, and vibe seriously stay in the sweet spot from the first note to the last. The fans in that room were super lucky to be there! Thank you @Barry2theB for this great recording, I have it on repeat :-)

[@94757598494309438]

As we were blessed to be @ Wolf Hills for this show, I cannot agree more, such a special place to groove! And we have seen some good one's there, including Jarekus Singleton:kzbin.info/www/bejne/naTEfoVtfrulq6s

[@twincam825]

Why is this music not played on the radio this is one smokin band.

[@nickvis7560]

They made it on Conan recently. Only a matter of time before they're a household name

[@mg43472]

Wonder if the audience has a clue how far he would go.. saw him twice since I saw this video.. my favorite guitarist and singer..

[@Johnny-es1wl]

His voice is the reason he is popular. Awesome voice.

[@juanbuyogarcia8950]

One of the reasons. One of the most complete musician in the last 20 years, at least...

[@mg43472]

So psyched to see him and Chris Stapleton in October!

[@carlmuntean]

reminds me of Warren Haynes .. good stuff

[@greggcashmore805]

The guitar change at 1:15:30 to the gold top!!!!! ..absolutely amazing

[@timstones786]

Thank you Barry! always a pleasure to visit your channel. You're a man of taste, man!

[@Barry2theB]

Thank you Tim!

[@94757598494309438]

Looking back, you do not realize how fortunate you are to be 6' from the stage at an intimate show like this in a small craft brewery, as show's like this will be few and far between due to MKB success! We wish them all the best. And thank you Barry for this memonic!

[@Barry2theB]

C. McKinney Exactly why I didn’t want to miss this gig! Love capturing the energy in a small venue. This originally was supposed to be outside at the farmers market in Abingdon... Definitely will be the last time I will film them in a venue this small....

[@blademan6075]

Anyone who attended this show was part of a special history in blues guitar not unlike the epic shows like Lynyrd Skynyrd live at the Fox or The first show for the Ramones or Blondie at CBGB’s . They will brag to their children and grandchildren about this night.

[@twowaymuir]

Very special show and video work Barry. Great work.

[@RickJones-qr3cv]

Magnificent jam and playing. Love it.

[@ricmines2467]

Finally the King has arrived. Damn right I just said that.
