If you want to understand what makes Albert King a much-loved guitar player and purveyor of the blues, then look no further than Live Wire/Blues Power his 1968 release. Recorded live at the Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco in June 1968 it is a record that is full of King’s searing guitar and his unique vocals.
King was a regular at the Fillmore, playing there probably more times than any other blues artist. He played three nights at the gig from June 25-27, with support from Loading Zone and Rain. Loading Zone was a local band who released their debut album in 1968, but they never rose above the role of a support band; Rain are lost to the mists of time.
There’s not a blues guitarist that has not copped King’s licks and fallen under his spell, in part because Live Wire/Blues Power became Albert’s first album to make the Billboard chart on November 16, 1968.
