Love and respect flowing both ways here.  Albert was not the kind of guy who let anyone on stage with him, but he loved Stevie as a son.  A few years later, in an interview, Stevie called  Albert his godfather.  Interview says  Wait, What?  Stevie told him the story of when  they  were playing a show together and Albert told the crowd "Ain't but one white boy with a black daddy, and I'm his."  Priceless.

When you see Stevie solo on the low strings he was showing respect. He absolutely loved Albert King. Look at the way he watches and listens to him. He always laid back a little with these blues legends out of respect. You don't outshine a legend. Stevie took the blues very seriously and respected pioneers like Albert King.

The more you listen to Albert King the more you realize what a huge influence he was on Stevie.

When Albert King says "Stevie, you're qualified," that's a lifetime invitation to the cookout.

SRV ~ 🎸🐐 THE goat of all goats

The ones who say Jimi was Stevie's main influence have obviously not watched this. You don't need a music degree to hear Albert in Stevie's style.

To hear Albert coach Stevie up like a grandfather would his grandson is priceless. And to see Stevie soak up every word like an eager grandson is a beautiful thing as well. (Albert was Stevie's self-proclaimed godfather)

Thank goodness someone filmed this!

Stevie's tone is unmistakable. When you hear it, you immediately know it's Stevie. Love the dynamic between these two; Albert King was a giant in Stevie's eyes and you can really see the respect & admiration between them.

Stevie absolutely loved the great blues men of yesterday.  They were his hero's.  When Srv became famous he always talked about these great men.  His band tells the story of them doing a gig in Colorado and when they got there Stevie saw BB King was opening for him and he became infuriated and said This is wrong just wrong I should be opening for him.  He tried hard to get it changed but they wouldn't.  He told his people this should never happen again ever.

SRV had such genuine love and respect for Albert King that I think Albert couldn't help but reciprocate. SRV had similar relationships with other OG blues greats like BB King, Buddy Guy, Albert Collins, Lonnie Mack and so on.

One of my biggest regrets in life is that I never saw SRV live. I did have the opportunity in 1989 but got tied up with life and figured I'd catch him the next time around. There wasn't a next time...

I'm super grateful that we have these recordings that capture a small part of these two giants and their relationship.

Stevie's respect for the older master was a beautiful thing to see

You can hear by Alberts playing the heavy influence he had on Stevie..

You can hear so much Albert King in stevies playing. Love it. Respect

Just a couple of legends sitting and performing together. Fantastic.

Albert King is one of the Great Guitarist most people have never heard of. He's one of the " Three Kings " of the Blues. Albert King, B.B. King, and Freddie King. In 2011 Rolling Stone's placed Albert at # 11 on their top 100 Greatest Guitarist of all time. Thanks for showing these two Legends of Blues Music.

Stevie Ray Vaughan  -Life Without You, is one of the greatest live performances of all time

Albert King was inducted to the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame in 2013. His daughter and his granddaughter got up and spoke and talked about the relationship between Albert and SRV and that they were always at the house jamming together and that at times BB King was also there… could you imagine three of the greatest guitar players jamming together and feeding off of each other, man I would’ve loved to of been there.

Stevie respected and worshipped Albert. It’s very evident in his playing and how he hangs on every word Albert says and every note Albert plays.

It heartwarming to see SRV being discovered and keeping his memory alive.
So special….Albert King was SRV’s Godfather.

Your watching two masters having a jam session,  no rehearsal,  just knowing where your at on the guitar, and playing in a style.  Stevie played all his parts on what he felt and not from being written down notes!!

I saw BB King play in a little bar in San Juan Capistrano a week after SRV died.  He was in tears and said it felt like losing a son.  It was one of the most heartfelt shows I have ever seen.  The blues wept that night and even today I can still feel the pain of that performance.

Stevie had strong hands and fingers used heavy gauge strings and tamed those strings into submission. Two national treasures gone but never forgotten 💙
