And of the three, he’s generally credited with having the greatest impact on rock. Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, Jeff Beck, Stevie Ray Vaughan and countless others have acknowledged a great debt to his brand of guitar playing and have covered his songs. As part of its continued restoration of classic Black Top blues albums, Shout! Factory is proud to make the award-winning Live At The Electric Ballroom, 1974 available to blues fans once again. First issued in 1996, the album contains a stellar concert—featuring such classics as "Hideaway," "Dust My Broom," and "Sweet Home Chicago"—recorded two years before his death, along with revealing taped interviews and King’s only known acoustic recordings. Along with his classic early singles, this essential album rounds out the portrait of a hugely talented and influential blues master. | | | |

"Ain't Nobody's Business" alone makes the whole CD 5 stars! Nov 19, 2009
By Baberufus
This is a great live blues CD--I call it the 70's counterpart to B.B. King's famously heralded "Live At The Regal" from the 60's. Freddie King sings and plays like a man possessed by a blue devil! The sound quality is pretty good, not great, but good enough to capture the artistry of this short-lived bluesman. The radio studio cuts on acoustic provide a glimpse of another side of Freddie King's guitar talents that are largely unknown--solo acoustic. He modestly claims that he's out of his element playing an acoustic, but he does a great job, of course.
The centerpiece to this great CD is his flooring version of "Ain't Nobody's Business If I Do" (this is one of the live cuts with a full band). Both his vocal and guitar work on this cut are absolutely devastating! The blues doesn't get any better than that!
Highly recommended for adding to your Freddie King collection!

The ultimate party album Aug 22, 2009
By Eric Krupin
The phrase "house rocking" suffers from debased coinage. Any journeyman or journeywoman blues artist's record company will slap it on their live CD without giving a second thought to the standard of performance those words properly describe.
But imagine for a moment the smoky blues club of your utopia. Nattily dressed men and big-legged women in short, short miniskirts... sweatily grooving to the hottest electric band you've ever heard. Rasping soul vocals. Stinging guitar leads.
*That* is the kind of house-rocking Freddie King performed in The Electric Ballroom. The result was one of the very best live blues albums ever recorded.
If the people at your next party won't dance to it, you need new friends.

The big man doing what he does best!!!!! Jun 27, 2006
By Steven Weiss
Great cd for your blues collection. Worth every penny.......
Freddie King is perhaps the most progressive and least known of the three famous "Kings of Blues", Albert and BB King being the other two.
Cd has two in-studio acoustic performances (only known Freddie King acoustic recordings)and a great live 1974 show.
awsome pure awsome Dec 29, 2011
By R. Hale
what can i say freddie king is my favorite blues man, heck my favorite artist in any genre. and this is one of the finest live cds i have ever heard. the interviews clips are nice as well all in all go get it dont waste time just pick it up and be transported to heaven
a must have Apr 04, 2008
By W. Landis
freddie king, legendary blues guitarist, lets it rip in this recording. the introduction/interview with freddie is great, but what makes them more than collectable is the two songs that freddie plays on acoustic guitar. he tells his interviewer that he is not an acoustic guitar player, and the guitar becomes a tool in the hands of a master. the live set that follows is unbelieveable. throw in some blues, funk, blues, soul, blues, gospel, and a little more blues, mix them all together and you have an idea of what this set was like. you will find yourself singing along with "let the good times roll". as you hear freddie turning out the licks on his axe, you can hear the sound that has influenced many blues guitarists since. blues fans - add it to your collection. guitar fans - add it to your collection.
