Going Down - Freddie King
From the DVD TEXAS BLUES GUITAR featuring Albert Collins, Lightnin' Hopkins, Freddie King and Mance Lipscomb www.guitarvideos.com/#!/Texas...
The range of Texas blues guitar styles, both rural and urban, is captured in this collection of fourteen performances by four legendary Texas bluesmen. Blazing 1991 performances by the great Albert Collins generate a heat which belies his Iceman moniker. Freddie King cooks at a full boil in a 1972 set which includes his signature song Going Down. Rare 1960 footage of Lightnin' Hopkins shows how intense the downhome acoustic blues could be. A 1968 performance by Mance Lipscomb traces the blues tradition to its work song taproot with Captain, Captain.
Titles include: ALBERT COLLINS Iceman, Lights Are On But Nobody's Home, Here She Comes (Head Rag On) FREDDIE KING Big Leg Woman, Blues Band Shuffle, Going Down LIGHTNIN' HOPKINS Baby, Come Go Home With Me, Going Down Slow, Bunion Stew, Let's Pull A Party MANCE LIPSCOMB Captain, Captain, Night Time Is The Right Time, God Moves On The Water, Which Way Do The Red River Run

In the early 70's I had just gotten out of college and made it to Dallas where I lived a few blocks from Mother Blues on Rawlins Street. I was sitting near the back of the Blues Room when Freddie walked in. I remember recalling how big the dude was as he turned sideways and ducked to come through the door. We had some rockin' that night for sure.

I saw him climbing the stairs at MB on Lemmon. He was loved there. Worked down the street and came to know 3 of his kids. All great people.

My god, that sounds amazing. I played in a band in Dallas for about 8 months, back in 2007, and it was one of the craziest experiences of my entire life. That was a really cool music scene when I was down there, so I can only imagine what it was like back in the early 70’s. Cool story, though!

Freddie King opened up for ZZ Top at a huge outdoor music festival outside of Tulsa, Oklahoma in 73 I think it was. I had no idea how fortunate I was to have seen a blues great like Freddie. Now I fully appreciate his greatness!

I agree. Bass player is excellent, band is cooking. Hard to believe this bass is being played with a pick, it sounds so thumpy. The whole band is so dynamic. Best bass tone I’ve ever heard in my life is on “I’m So Tired” by Bobby Bland. I’m still trying to figure out who played bass on that track. Maybe Bob Babbit, I don’t know.

I first got put on to Freddy's early gold-top Les Paul work in my 30's and spent many a satisfying afternoon copying his licks (never quite, tho...). My favorite electric blues artist, bar none. That voice, that searing and inventive guitar. The Man. Don't miss his early work where less distortion guided him to show off his melodic inventiveness!
Weird gig for Freddie to play in, but he always gave it his all. Seeing him rock the Armadillo World Headquarters was his palace

I have these Vestapol tapes with Freddie on all of them, I just don't have a vcr to play them. He left us way too soon. The man was a powerhouse bluesman.
Great performer. I seem to remember him playing at the Ash Grove in LA and Leon Russell coming in to play with him. Great show!
