One of the most influential electric guitar players in history!

This was played as the exit music at my Dad's funeral last year. Except no-one left, they were too busy enjoying listening to this master at work!

RIP Freddie King (September 3, 1934 - December 28, 1976), aged 42 You will always be remembered as a legend.

His groove is so insanely good. Every note hits so hard

He is so damn good that it hurts. Love the man!

Billy Cox on bass. And Gatemouth Brown on that Rickenbacker rhythm guitar 😉

He sure moved like Gatemouth, but he's so young here I didn't recognize him. Plus no firebird. What TV show was this? We didn't have color until 1972 lol.

I've watched this literally hundreds of times now and it still gets me. Go Freddie.

That groove is absolutely killer man. Freddie absolutely killed it out there and did it in only 2 and a half minutes. What a legend

The best of the “Three Kings” IMHO

To me Freddie King was the man! Blues guitar, singer extraordinaire/genius. The man could play just one single note and made it sound like magic! I love Freddie's music. I play a lot of his music on my guitar. I owe him. Found out that Billy Cox is playing on this video. Another great one! Long live their music!

Such a cool ass dude on a cool ass show ,with a bad ass band ,Freddie the King ...

Freddy was such a powerful force definitely a king and so sad that he was taken at such a young age

The great Freddie King who sadly left us way too soon.

For the ppl that gave this video a thumbs down don’t realize their guitars heroes learned their licks from Freddie,BB,Albert King.these guitarists were innovators not copiers

Freddie takes a back seat to no one, no guitar player. Ever.

Freddie king is badass! Texas legend....

King is an appropriate name for this " ANOTHER KING OF THE BLUES ".

I use to see Freddie King at the Armadillo World Headquarters in Austin Texas 2 or 3 times a year and man he was great, RIP Freddie , great , great artist The Texas Cannonball

Go-Go dancers and everything.

One note and you know exactly who it is with your eyes closed.I’d say that’s pretty legendary to have that much nuance and expression in your playing.

One of the best ever! There will never be another Freddie King ❤️👍🎸

Freddie was so gifted and I love the way he shared it with us.

Best blues guitarist ever lived ....bold statement i know, but true.....oh yeah what a voice!!!

He died so young and before his career really began to take off. Signed a big record deal that would have made him but he died of a heart attack right after the deal was done

Whenever I need a smile, i just watch this performance. It's just too much,

Freddie King is for people who judge with all five senses. Musical prowess unmatched by most everyone. And go go dancability unmatched by most any artist

IN-CREDIBLE!

One of the greatest playing one of his greatest.

Fantastic historical video.

The great Clarence 'Gatemouth' Brown on the blonde Rickenbacker, behind Freddie.

Just one of the great KINGS

Clearly one of Jerry's biggest influences.

That's when you reach the level of ultimate and untouchable. No wonder people still try to copy him, 50 years later.

Lovin' it

FYI - The studio 45 is very different and worth a listen, too: fewer ripping blues licks, more repetitive riff-based verses. It's off his all-instrumental album "Let's Hide Away and Dance Away with Freddy King." The album's more famous songs are "Hideaway" and "The Stumble."

fun just to watch him play :)

Thumbs down there because they didn't leave for the 70s man if you went through the 70s man you have respect for some of that s*** you got you don't know what nothing is why is the world coming to do now I know I'm getting old but Freddie King is a cool cat with the smooth groove on the KZread so be cool like a cucumber in the shade and dig it like a spade in the garden

the guitarist on the right side of the screen is Clarence Gatemouth Brown

Real King

I am one his greatest fans!

That was a great song

That’s when Noel decided to leave the band and join his band Fat Mattress full time. In addition, Jimi had promised Billy Cox that he would send for him years before. That was the perfect time to call his old Army buddy to join the band as Noel’s replacement. Have a nice day and Happy New Year Richard!

the before winter and vaughn, there was this cat

The real deal!!!!!

I used to play guitar around Dallas. One of my local heroes was sitting in with my band and my singer told him that I stole one of his licks. He said "cool, which one?" I played it and he laughed and said "oh, I stole that from Bugs (Henderson)." And I'm pretty sure he got it from Freddie.

This is just awesome. Fuuck.

Am I the only one amazed by the fact he can get such vibrato while wearing his guitar so awkwardly? I would always feel like I was gonna drop it if I had my strap that way.
