This "In Session" was recorded in 1983, I believe right after Stevie Ray Vaughan released his album Texas Flood. The musicianship of the legendary Albert King and SRV is awesome but what is even better is the dialogue between them. It was still before Stevie really got notoriety so it was kind of like the old "Pops" passing the blues gauntlet down to the rising star.
Its still very tragic in that we all only had a short time with Stevie Ray Vaughan. He was a master at the guitar and perfect blues voice. When this performance was recorded Stevie was only 29 and Albert King was 60. Sadly Albert King outlived his young protege.
You can purchase this dvd on the Internet, but here's what I believe to be the entire performance on You Tube.
