Most irrelevant comment of the century ?

the coolest guitar ever played by the coolest guitar player ever...

The Red Flying V Guitar 🎸 is working overtime. Can't believe this was one of Albert's last performance. A talented musician 🎵 gone too soon 🔜. Love 💘 you Albert. RIP.

RIP Albert King, my favorite bluesman

Wow, my fav blues player of all time, and the best voice in all of music. This was July 1992? He died 5 months later December 21, 1992 - amazing career!

Mine too. Died 2 days after a concert in Los Angeles at age 69.

I hear proto Hendrix Albert's playing. ALOT of rock and roll was influenced by this man alone. His licks are fundamental.

Thank´s for sharing. I was there and shook ol´ Albert´s hand :)

I'm glad Albert King liked the young man with him doing a guitar solo. He seemed pretty rigid on how the band should be.

December of that year he passed.. he had lost a lot of weight. sign

That may be the “guit-fiddle”, as Albert would say, that Billy Gibbons of ZZ Topp had made for him that sits in the STAX Museum

Who are the other two guitar players? Names are listed on clip of Albert King live at the Pori Jazz Festival (from '92) but the spellings could be incorrect and I can't find any info about them.

Those are indeed the names that appear in the video I mentioned. I think Randell should be spelled Randall though. Even so, when I Google that name I find very little info. Seems odd given how good his playing is. Just listen to 4:10 in this video for example! Amazing blues guitar. Is he still alive? Has toured with anyone apart from Albert King?

@@MontyCantsin5 Their names are Randell Boykins and Derek Harris . While Harris is a mediokre player , Boykins is a really good guitarist. The whole band accompanied Albert King in his european tour in 1992. I was lucky to see them live in Thessaloniki ,Greece 22/6/1992 in a great live performance.

@@user-ge3tz9sf7z: Thanks. I found the names eventually (see my comment above). You're right in mentioning that Boykins seems to be a more natural player than Harris. In all the live clips I've watched of King with this iteration of the band, Boykins' solos really stand out.

Sounds out of tune

He hated Jimi Hendrix he talked bad on his back after his death but after 22 years later he played Hendrix’s music I mean the first song Them changes

Not much left of a great blues man: Can't stay in tune or keep up with the tempo.
