Albert King - Why You´re so mean to me - Live in Pori Jazz 1992

[@mesaeddie]

In 1972 I was lucky enough to see him at Funky Quarters in San Diego. I sat 20 feet away and I will never forget it. What a wonderful show and night.

[@AdrianAndersson]

This show is just 5 months before he died. The video quality is amazing.

[@johnsamuelson4214]

love it when he plays rhythm..whatever he does,,kills me,,this was the year when he left us,,and his blues power is stunning....love 4ever,king of the blyes guitar!!!

[@AndrewVOdom]

So true... Love him biding his time on rhythm... I remember well that sad 1992 Thanksgiving holiday week when we lost Alberts King & Collins!

[@AndrewVOdom]

PS A great thrill was shaking his mitt from the stage at a killer show in New York, 1990...Still under rated music legend!

[@pedrorobertomoraes2904]

His style for rhythm is so unique, and very good as well! Never saw anyone that played rhythm like Albert!

[@BluesHand]

Albert King carved my life into what it is today . I'm a BluesMan.... nothing more nothing less .

[@suzukiyesteryear]

@@pedrorobertomoraes2904 Notice he truly plays upside down…strings and all! A lot of that strange (but amazing) tone comes from that… And his six-foot five, ham fisted soul…love The Great Man…

[@damiankreick8283]

Most addictive bass line i've ever heard

[@mariakillborne8622]

Love this, his son lives in Memphis and plays in a band with Kid Memphis sometimes..love those Memphis boys!! Albert King Jr.

[@AndrewVOdom]

[@MontyCantsin5]

That first solo with King playing rhythm - oh yes!

[@Baby-zy8hb]

Albert passed on after this..He died Dec 1992..Rest SweetHeart

[@laurenrothman6347]

Amazing human such great music

[@thevillageshaman]

Hell Yes Albert. Love his tone here great archive

[@goodun6081]

note the upside down guitar stringing, with the treble strings at the top. That's the way Albert learned to play, he just took a right handed guitar and flipped it the other way around and did not change the string orientation. It is worth noting that without Albert King we probably wouldn't have had Jimi Hendrix, at least not in the same way that we think of him and remember him. Jimi said that Albert was a huge influence on him, although Jimmy did learn how to flip his own guitar strings around! And then there's Stevie Ray Vaughn, quite obviously a disciple of Albert's tone and style.

Albert King, nacido Albert Nelson (25 de abril de 1923-21 de diciembre de 1992) fue un influyente guitarrista y cantante estadounidense de Blues. Considerado uno de los Tres Reyes del Blues a la guitarra (junto a B.B. King y Freddie King), su altura de 1,95 m y sus 118 kg de peso le valieron el sobrenombre de The Velvet Bulldozer (la aplanadora de terciopelo). 69 AÑOS ✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️

[@damiankreick8283]

That shinny tooth at 0:16

[@fredrickwentzel7014]

Holy fucking shit Badass shit right there

[@mrJimCharles]

My bad, at the beginning of this video they list the other guitarists as Randel Boykins and Derek Harris.

[@onesmoothstone5680]

👍🏼👍🏼

[@RawBluesTV]

The drummer is Dave Jefferson

[@SmoothDosaOG]

Finger footage sucks while playing. Almost like they didn't know what to watch for. But as always Albert kills it. So many try to follow they style.

[@viccampeon237]

Foro muy in this live albert has de vest guitar tone

[@66badsign]

This guitar was custommade for Albert King by Billy Gibbons of ZZ TOP, for Albert´s 65th birthday if Im not misstaken.

[@RastaSaiyaman]

Wrong, it was made by John Bolin, who is the regular guitar builder for Billy Gibbons. And commissioned by Gibbons as a birthday present.

[@AdrianAndersson]

Is this all that was recorded?

[@paulhendersun6525]

1st solo way tooooooo bizzy- Alberts minimal solos show the way its supposed to be done, check out San Fran cuts from the Fillmore, 1968- killer. Learn from the Masters: Less is More.

[@pedrorobertomoraes2904]

I thought it was a good solo! Not in Albert style, but a very good one

[@MontyCantsin5]

To busy? It certainly wasn’t.

[@monsieurhercule]

I love King Albert but I don't know about his choice of stage technicians, there are a few live shows where I don't like the sound of how they've set up his guitar amp .

[@mrJimCharles]

You mean who, right? There are actually three guitarists, the left-handed guy with the Strat that plays a solo as well is almost certainly Little Jimmy King.

[@pedrorobertomoraes2904]

Where is the hole footage of this show?

[@BSilva1984]

That was the last concert before death

[@Tom-wm4gy]

The Camera man knows nothing about music! He shows the wrong guitar at the wrong time... Hopefully he's retired...

[@ederman01]

i think the same thing

[@Gamesgamer1337]

doeas anyne know how the second guitarist is

[@standingbeark2290]

From what I could see, it looks like his son, albert jr

[@fernandobocadillos]

I HEAR A CRICKET CHIRPING AWAY AT SOME POINT IN THE BEGGINING. MAYBE ON A MIKE SOMEWHERE.

[@markusantonio4866]

fernandobocadillos That's Jimney Cricket singing along to the blues, lol!

[@vincenzo18842]

granteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[@bluesdoggmusicrediker4614]

UNFORTUNATELY ALBERT DIED THIS SAME YEAR 1992..

[@johnsamuelson4214]

blues guitar..i mean..haah

[@aaronbrown0417]

Albert guitar too loud.. sounds mushed plus he's out of tune.... but a legend nonetheless

[@charlieshaw2866]

That pink v is horrible

[@oldlady7589]

We love the pink or whatever color, as long as Albert King is playing.

[@africanchina1]

No meaning to disrespect Albert, but didn't he get a bit fatter as he got older?? Seems like it
