Albert King spent the early ’70s crossing freely between blues royalty and the rock festival circuit, sharing stages with Hendrix-generation crowds who understood exactly what they were hearing. That context matters here: the Forum was a 17,000-seat arena, and King filled it with the same stinging left-handed attack on his Flying V that had defined Stax recordings like “Born Under a Bad Sign,” proving the blues could hold any room it wanted.

Recorded at the Fabulous Forum in 1972, features Albert King – gtr/voc, Donald Kinsey – gtr, Rick Watson – tenor sax, Norville Hodges – trumpet, Wilbur Thompson – trumpet, James Washington – org, Bill Rennie – bass, Sam King – drums. Tracks include “Killing Floor” and “Stormy Monday”
