Freddie King, hard-driving and perhaps driven, was only 42 when he died on December 28, 1976. The intensity of the performances in this video suggest an artist who burned at full throttle every time he played. Guitarists as diverse as Eric Clapton and Jerry Garcia have cited King as a formative influence. Most of the clips in this collection come from a unique time warp, a fleeting moment when Southern R&B collided with mid-60s "Mod" and rendered a show called The!!!!Beat. Freddie King was 31 at the time of The!!!!Beat, playing and singing in prime form. This video collection presents all of Freddie King's appearances from this unique series. The video concludes with three tunes performed in Sweden in 1973 and shows Freddie's artistic growth. Titles include: From The!!!!Beat, 1966: Funny Bone, Have You Ever Loved A Woman, San-Ho-Zay, I'm Tore Down, Hide Away, I Love The Woman, Papa's Got A Brand New Bag, See See Baby, Sitting On The Boatdock, Shuffle, She Put The Whammy On Me, San-Ho-Zay, Funny Bone and Hide Away. From Sweden, 1973: Have You Ever Loved A Woman, Blues Band Shuffle and Big Leg Woman.

There is also a later show from Sweden in 1973 tacked on, which is similar to the Freddie King Live in Europe DVD performances from Montreux & elsewhere. These later European performances are longer looser jams and Freddie appears to be a bit tired or disinterested and seems to be going through the motions before a reticent Scandinavian crowd.
