"sounds ok man, but it's going to be a problem" lol
He says, "but the buzz is going to be a problem"
@@lthoedt Thanks, I stand corrected! makes more sense 😂
I don't think I've ever seen SRV without a hat on before.
Because he was going bald.
Yeah it’s kinda like Jeff Lynne, never seen him without sunglasses !!
Same here! Until watching this video, I'd never even realised I hadn't seen him without a hat haha.
its like joa satriani and his glasses
..when he plays behind his head, the hat comes off.. e.g. .lovestruck baby at El Macombo
My guitar playing would be nothing without this man. All I ever wanted was to cop his licks as a kid. He was, and still is everything to me as a "guitar player." RIP Stevie. TY.
I hear you brother !!!
So do I,I must have seen SRV a dozen times n saw him live at RPI, upstate NY,with Jeff Beck,the best blues guitarist ever...
I'm the same, I would be no where without Stevie, learning his licks kept me off the street and just overall made me what I am today, I still get chills listening to his stuff
copped
You copped his lick
Seeing Stevie in such a candid setting, so relaxed, and clearly after he had gotten clean, has me yearning so badly for what might have been. There was nobody like him, and we are all the worse off having lost him so terribly early.
Dude... If these 2 Monsters met, and jammed together..
Holy mother of God and Jimi said... Can I sit in........ Beyond human copmprehinsion
Yes We Are!! And I Have This Strong Feeling That Stevie Really MISSES Everybody!💞
NobodY like him hahfha so who was hendrix. Total copy.
Agreed! Watching this on the anniversary of his passing. All I can say is I am so grateful that in all the universes and infinite possibilities, we lived in and shared the same timeline with this man. Think about how incredible that is- we lived and shared life, albeit far too brief, with this legend. So grateful for him and his music!
Sorry but all blues based guitarists sound alike. They all play the same licks and use the same scales.
Had this gone on for several hours I’d still be here, completely enthralled. Miss you Stevie.
I'm with you Sarah!
Oh, thought you said “un-rattled” haha. Me too!
That dude was on another level when it come to being a guitar player granted he had some great influences but then he in turn influenced a lot of players after him! Sarah Michelle you have great taste
I saw him in Joplin Mo. a year or so before he died. Excellent performance... R.I.P. Stevie.
Sarah I too could listen to Stevie just noodling around on the guitar all day
Stevie could play just a few notes and you knew it was him. It was all in his fingers, heart and soul. RIP Stevie.
He was the hardest playing blues guitarist that ever lived.
Robert Johnson
Sorry but that as much a i like Stevie Ray that title has to go to Rory Gallagher
Big facts. Stevie is the king.
@@joshuagibson2520 Ok Josh i don't doubt that Stevie was king and maybe i was a little bias in my statement , it's all down to horses for courses at the end of the day. Rory Gallagher was international guitarist of the year 1970 , please check out Rory Gallagher the beat club sessions and tell me what you think please. Stevie played with so much aggression and anger and was unbelievable to say the least but you cannot deny that Rory had a passion that could not be beaten . Two different guitarists with two different styles that individually could never be matched.
@@alexlogan4654 you're right. I did watch some live Rory after my comment. I can't believe I'd never heard of him. I'll Def be diving deeper into his catalog.
Stevies sound was evolving. I’m so sad that we didn’t get to see where it was going.
djent
@@IzziedeD yesss, IMO that has been the next evolution in guitar styles. it seems to blend a lot of genres into one, jazz, rock, blues, metal etc. and its open to anything since its very jazz oriented in nature allowing for dissonance to be used as a main melody. its awesome.
@@IzziedeD haha
Yes indeed! It would have been a whole other level. A level that I don’t believe we have yet so see and hear from any other artist since him. That level still hasn’t been approached in my humble opinion.
@@IzziedeD I feel like Stevie had hit peak before he died - We were lucky to have him as long as we did.
He looks healthy and sober here.
Almost two years clean.
He probably was. He had been sober for awhile before the crash that took his life. Totally sucks
I thought he got sober in 85
I was going to say the same thing. Saw him at a live show in 1985...he was amazing. His playing seemed effortless. But he looked to be in pretty rough shape for a young guy...his brother opened with his band the Fabulous T-birds and they did a bit where they played a double-neck guitar together.
He looks so good in this clip. Healthy & vibrant.
That single coils buzz really tells how high the volume was. His playing was so fast and accurate .. so sad that he's gone .. still my #1 guitar player. Rip SRV ..
Absolutely man. He was the best there is, best there was, and best there ever will be
This was recorded not long after he had cleaned up and gotten sober. I
remember being so happy when I heard that, because that meant he’d be around for a long time.
He was playing better than ever and he was clear eyed and seemed happy.
And then he died. Fuck. This takes me right back to that day.
I don’t look at his passing as “he died”
Stevie lost his life like too many young and up and coming artists did from the 60’s 70’s and 80’s. If you think about it there seems to be something really sinister and ominous in the similar ways their time was cut short on this earth. It’s tough to think about.
SRV, Hendrix, Morrison, Ronnie Van Zant, Steve and Cassie Gaines, Janis Joplin, Bon Scott, Duane Allman, Cliff Burton, Otis Redding, Richie Valens, Sid Vicous, Buddy Holly, Cobaine, Staley, R. Rhoades,Amy Winehouse, Scott Weiland, Chester Bennington, Chris Cornell, Prince, Michael Jackson, Robert Johnson and more than I can remember but just to name some. It’s mind boggling to think too long about and about 90% of these great musicians I listed were gone before they turned the age of 30!
Thank you to all of these great musicians and souls who left too early but gave us a part of themselves to cherish for generations to come. Rest In Peace and may the sun shine upon those who you left too early on this earth, your loved ones.
So in high school my buddy and I wanted to go see him in concert. Just before we got tickets one of our buddies decided to throw a party on the night the concert was to be on. We didn't want to miss the party so we said, hey let's catch him around on the next time. He passed just a few short months later. After that I never missed a concert again. I got to see B.B. King several times, I saw John Lee Hooker just before he passed and so on. I'll never make that mistake again.
@@chrisjuliano3964
Bummer. I had a lot of opportunities to see him but I never did. Biggest regret of my musical life.
@Rex R I agree with you, that there is nothing mysterious about a junkie dying of an eventual overdose. You are spot on.
However; what I said was that it’s “ominous” or even slightly “sinister”
Never mysterious. I don’t think a single one of these artists deaths was mysterious. I believe we all know the cause of each ones demise.
SRV wasn’t a victim of his own drug use because he was clean and sober at the time of the accident. Some of these artists died as a result of the personal choices they made for themselves but others died as a result of someone else’s personal choices and/or mistakes.
It’s a shame that any life be lost earlier than what that souls plotted course in life should have been.
Dude I was stationed at KI Sawyer AFB in the upper pennensula of Michigan. Not too far from where he crashed. I remember hearing it in the radio and was literally brought to a tear...devastated. What a blues guitar god....
When you have greats like Clapton, Guy, Mayer and others saying it was amazing to watch/listen to SRV play, you know he was the best. IMO, he was the greatest of all time.
I was stunned when he died. That was so completely unexpected and I believe he barely touched his potential.
John Mayer is not a great 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Celebrities praise each other and kiss up to each other in the media all the time, it is so boring and meaningless. All they are doing is taking the high road because they know how the media likes to run with things.
This was the greatest guitar player that ever lived it’s the first time I’ve seen him with his hat off, my hat is off to you Stevie, I pray you made it to heaven.
The baby face is gone & now a handsome man sure of himself sober & happy doing his best music. This man's mark in music will always be a benchmark for any guitarist in following him. R.I.P. Stevie Ray Vaughan
I believe the Lord gave him a chance and impetus to clean up his life, because He knew his time was coming short ... Glory to Jesus, for His mercy.
Love your take. This was my impression too. I thought he looked handsome, mature and self assured. I loved this clip because we get to see him like this.
@Thomas_ - what drugs was he doing
Kinda looks like the guy from the Highlander movies in the 80s
@@Tonetwisters The lord gave him a chance then killed him in a helicopter crash! Your imaginary friend had a fu’k sense of humour.
Such a huge loss. Even after all this time, it still makes me sick to even think about the crash.
He should be played in schools as life lessons ,part of the curriculum.
Amen bro. The guy was another Hendrix or more. Great talent. He was the only one that really had that Hendrix sound. Clapton never came close to what Stevie was able to do.
@@jopisano67 ssssoooooo tttrrrruuueeeee...
I still remember exactly where I was, crying........ 🙏🏻💖
Absolutely man... it still makes a lot of us sick. And he was in such a good place personally....sober, loving life, loving his music....such a damn shame that he left the world.
That sound is so rich and full bodied! What a great player he was . R.I.P 🙏🏼
I know this won't be a popular opinion but I'll take SRV over Jimi any day.
Same!
There's an epoch context to considere there, but hey, you have the right to have an opinion.
100% agree. Love the way he played.
The problem is, Stevie ray idolised Jimmy. He learned to play off of what Jimmy plays. And Jimmy came out 30 years before he did. In a time that they'd never heard that sound before. I mean, I think Eddie Van Halen is one of the best that ever lived. But it doesn't matter because it didn't come out in 1968.
That's just your opinion man
For those of you who’d want to check it out, the amazing solo at the end of the video is from the song Mama, a collaboration between SRV and Italian singer-songwriter Zucchero
Thank you! I will ask about it!!
Bless you
amazing song
Non sapevo che SRV stava sulla canzone di Zucchero.... troppo bello❤❤❤❤
I love to see ANY footage of Stevie, doing what he loved. His fans will miss him, till our dying day.
There’s many great guitarists but NOBODY comes close to Stevie!!! This sound check was better then some famous artists life time musical achievements That sound can NEVER be replicated regardless of equipment guitar studio, gone to soon we can only imagine what he had planned & what he would be doing today
He's super overrated. He was a good player with lots of soul and all that but he didn't bring anything new to the table. He said it himself in an interview. He copied the lick of his heroes and imbued them with his own sound. That's about it. There are lots of contemporary guitarist that would play circles around SRV but who cares as long as we can dwell in the past.
ah don't kid yourself his music wasnt the same once he got off the cocaine and booze his live performances were not the same when he was sober. a split in the community of fans when he was on drugs and not...... his last years before the crash alot have objected his live shows just watch them for yourself in japan and the entire leg of his last live performances which were great but nothing in comparison to his drug fuel days.
@@johndope2695 I agree 100% but unfortunately We as an adult community cannot say this to new guitarists learning about SRV I am sure you understand, those drugs fuelled his fantasy, he could of seen elephants flying around the stage & his way of battle was to play & play hard!! 🤷🏻♂️
@@chrisking6695 you know 0 about blues. if you talk like that then bonamasssa and mayer are overrated af too. second srv coppied licks and put his own licks in between. third he put the texas sound on it, wich is more difficult that delta or chicago. fourth haha overrated he played jazz created his own jazz songs, show me your guitar players playing jazz on of the most hardest genres to play, stevie was an allround player that made hendrix his songs way better. school yourself better about blues, stevie is the best blues guitarist there iever will be . there is no arguing with people like you, if stevie is overrated than play his style on your guitar, ah yes you cant . overrated HAHAHAHA best joke ever, yikes even the two kings bb and albert said it themselves so who are you hahaha
@@johndope2695 thats pure bullshit stevie went sober in 86, seen enough videos of him playing live that nobody else could do
The way he plays those licks gets me every time.
SRV's sound is one of those that you recognize instantly, like Toni Iommi's, Brian May's, Angus', Santana and few more. Thanks to these legends we are better people.
First time to see SRV without a hat.. Great playing.
Pensé lo mismo. 😁
I was fortunate enough to see SRV three times in person his sound was so unique and enormous it was almost like a beautiful music Tornado.
The secret was in his heart, soul and fingers
this is also true!
After all those years trying to improve my playing, I finally realise I have something in common with SRV.
My Strat hums too.
Never met one that didn't, it's a big part of the raw single coil vibe!
That's definitely not pickup hum... That's some kind of grounding problem going on.
@@bluesrocker91 yep,when they crank on the amps,weaknesses show up,stevie was something else,one of a kind,genius--------------plays and sings it to life-------------genius
They hum real bad when you are selecting 1,3 and 5 on the pickup selector switch. Positions 2 and 5 are hum cancelling. Notice when Stevie selects either of them, the hum goes away. There is some electrical interference going on in the studio as well.
Conductive shielding paint for the pickup and control cavities. Ground each cavity with a ground wire back to the ground connection in the control cavity. Also, you can get noiseless single coils. People get stuck on vintage and original pickups being better. They are not. Dimarzio or Seymour Duncan. Time to “Change It”.
I got the pleasure of seeing him play in a very small bar in Texas one weekend a month a Friday and Saturday night for 12 months. About 2 years before he ever put out an album. He was awesome.
You lucky dog. Happy for you.
Amen to that! Sweet Stevie! A great musician, and singer. He gave his heart and soul, into his music. He is loved all over the world, and will alway's be remembered. 💖
Such a loss, Stevie Ray was a force to be reckoned with, his playing style was amazing. I never got a chance to see him live so any video I get to see is a treat. RIP SRV.
Saw him MANY times, all the way back to the Cobra's. Saw him the last night he played Austin (Auditorium Shores) and he talked about sobriety and played the greatest performance I had ever seen.
Funny how I remember someone talking about SRV in Torontos El Mocambo and how he had this strange ability to produce static electricity through his playing and shocked himself on stage continuously during sound check, but when he handed someone his guitar and they played in the same spot as him, with his same authentic guitar setup, nothing happened. The tech crew went as far as literally wrapping the micstand in rubber panelling to hopefully reduce the shock it dealt to Stevie lmao, what a fucking legend.
That Was His Drummer, Chris Layton Of Stevie's Beloced Double Trouble! He & Tommy Have SO Many Great Stories Like That - Just GOLD! WE MISS YOU STEVIE!!
DAMN! Even absent-mindedly noodling, SRV sounds better than 90% of other blues guitarists.... incredible fluidity, attack, tone, the works!!!!!
@Rick O'Shay Well, I guarantee you don't know SHIT about what I do or don't listen to. Nobody said there weren't other good players out there, just that (read it again) SRV was better than 90% of them. If you don't like my opinion, then ignore it and keep stepping.
I always said that Stevie was not a ‘guitar player’. More like a channeler or a conduit. A rare gem of a human being 🤗
@@SuzyQpip honestly, i didn't initially completely understand what you meant. But I thought what you said was interesting, so I thought about it for awhile. And now I a renewed understanding of certain things. Thank you, for being the spark
@@SuzyQpip like Jeff Beck as well.
I could of listened to him playing around on his guitar all day long. Great tone!
I recorded a sound check of SRV in 1989 at Red Rocks - literally played 10 minutes to an empty venue with sounds echoing all around and I just happened to be there, gear in hand. Amazingly, I got caught taping BB King later that evening, and they TOOK THE TAPE!!! Always wondered about that loss. Anyway, love your recording!
Wow that must have been something
He was recording the solo for "Madre dolcissima", a song from Zucchero. You can hear it a the end when he's standing in front of the mixing desk.
I was lucky enough to see him live and got seats 4 rows back on the amp side. He had the dumble and cab, 2 vibroverbs, and some other fender head and cab. They were all on and wide open. Even with the plexi shield up it was furiously loud, and clear. He had more bass with the .56 E string at Eb than some bass players have. I had ringing in my ears for 24hrs easily after that.
My friend said that the only downside to seeing stevie live was hearing him live haha. He said what you did, he was extraordinarily loud, too load.
Nevertheless, wish I could have cought him though. I almost got a ticket for the actual tour w Clapton and Cray. Not taking the ticket was one of the worst mistakes I ever made.
The guitar setup and clean ,massive volume are the keys
@@monkeysbum999
I dont mess the loud bands anymore. If its absurdly loud I'll leave. The ear plugs approach can work, but it's got to be those quality ones that are actually made for musicians.
*Not worth the hearing loss. Already been down that road.
@@matthewhorizon6050 i suffer from some minor tinnitus from loud mixing sessions.....I would much rather prefer tinnitus from SRV live, than from whatever music i was working on at that time.
@@matthewhorizon6050 I saw him live and I don't remember him being too loud. On the other hand, I went to an Iron Maiden concert that just destroyed my ears. It was ridiculous.
Even though SRV was influenced by players from Hendrix to Freddie King just hearing a few bars of him playing you know exactly who it is!
What a way to shuffle the blues. He’s got his own swing. Don’t know exactly why is different. Maybe he’s just amazing
Let's go with that.
He drags the backbeat to get that effect
With Stevie's sound, I can seem to smell the hot tubes while they glow bright orange. Such a fantastic player and such a great sound.
Man I could just listen to this guy doodle randomly for hours. Clapton said it best, it just flows out of him.
Saw him at the Reading Festival, England, just after Texas Flood came out in 1983...amazing.
I used to have a program for that festival,how did srv go down ? I d have been blown away 👍👍
Zol Fodor He was virtually unknown in England at the time, but went down really well, the audience loved him. He was awesome. A terrific memory from my teenage years :)
czcams.com/video/5JHnLvcJbEw/video.html
Tim Stevens Thanks for posting the link, SRV really brought it to the Reading crowd, sounds awesome!
Sir Hilary Flange Yes, nobody really had a clue who he was but he really won the crowd over. Probably his biggest gig at the time, about 25,000 there. I remember watching him do Voodoo Child and being blown away. You can hear it on the link above, amazing version.
Stevie Ray Vaughan, was a one of a kind musician, and singer. I watch at least one live video of him "Each and Every Day"! For real. SRV will not be forgotten. He was by all accounts, a sweet and humble man. All of us that are his fan's love him, so very much. 💞
STEVIE LOOKED GOOD AND HEALTHY , DAMN THE WORLD SURE MISSES IT SOME STEVIE
Damnit....there goes my theory that his hat was the source of his superpower!
It is. Stevie had telepathy and could communicate with his hats from anywhere on the planet with mind waves..🤠👍
He had a receding hairline he didn't like. Jimmie had the hair and ducktails
Then it’s the necklace lol
All great musicians have a pocket. By watching them perform you can tell when they’re in it. SRV has a pocket. It’s his signature hat. I can tell by watching him play without it. Something was a tad off. His timing? Perhaps. Or Maybe it was due to the informal-ness of the situation. Maybe he was under the weather or couldn’t stand the weather. (Sorry). Either way, it’s all in the pocket. Hat. It’s all the hat.
Miss you SRV!!!
He was one of the few Texans that was all hat and all cattle. Also kimono.
i met him and shook his hand outside a blues club in balto. in 77. smoked a cig or two with him during intermission. i asked him stupid questions about guitars and amps. he didnt mind at all
wood wire psh
U ain’t fooling no on but yourself
Omggg that's amazing...could I possibly get your contact info and ask you about that? See Stevie Ray Vaughan is my idol and I wish with all my heart that I could have met him
Tell us more please
💯💯💯💥✊💥
Kid Memphis recorded in that very room @ Ardent ...so cool..another great underground guitarist...and then there is Stevie!! yes!!
I totally missed this guy and have only just found him. Dear God, what I missed, what a player. Taken far too soon.
The song Stevie is playing at the end is Mama (Madre dolcissima in Italian) by Zucchero. Here it is czcams.com/video/cXwdjElxT2g/video.html
Here an extended version with a longer final solo czcams.com/video/9fkuyhCZL0Q/video.html
And here the original Italian version with the solo from the Italian guitarist Corrado Rustici czcams.com/video/3eXIgcb6V_s/video.html
thank you!
Thank you so much, I was looking for this comment
Thank you for the info!!!
Thanks man! I have'nt listen it never before!
Denis Francesconi Thanks! Just found Zucchero! Yikes what a great morning😎🔥
The fluidity of his playing..how his hands moved. Just amazing.
Never Be Another Like Him…..
His Gift of Musicianship Ability to Sing Front Vocals and Milk tones Way beyond the Best of the best guitarist is Still Holding True Today
🙏REST IN PEACE STEVIE
YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN 🙏🇺🇸
Man, the 60hz hum was SO loud. Amazing how it cleaned up when he started playing. No one would even buy a rig with that hum in modern days.
I’m shocked that it wasn’t dealt with
Killer sound and playing
This sound check is better than some concerts of today...
That piece of guitar solo was for Zuccherro, Madre Dolicissma.... (playback) Zucherro always had the best guest guitarists on his recordings including Clapton, SRV..!
I can watch this all day long but I can't watch 10 seconds if malmsteen solos.
The years have passed and still brings a tear to the eye
The brilliance of any musician is in then work that they out in their craft! The man was gifted.
Lord have mercy, I miss this man and the music he created.
One of the all time greatest blues guitarists ever
In my opinion, I believe he was the greatest guitarist. RIP Stevie.🎸
the heavy metal community respects this dude... 🤘🏻😎🇺🇸
“Even”?!?!?
Like what?
That’s the apex?
@@m.vonhollen6673 contemporary opposites but they both jam… 😎
@@T.R.R.Jolkien you just have to respect skill to recognize his talent
What a fabulous player...got clean and then killed in a helicopter crash! Poor guys. I miss u SRV....
scariest shit is that he predicted his own fucking death!he mentioned it to his brother the day before the crash!!!go look it up!
Some say God wanted to listen to some blues.
The Lord gave him time and incentive to change his life over and he did, thankfully. There's more to living than just this life ...
Tonetwisters that’s right. I believe it
We all miss him still.
Hey I'm S R.V
I don't need to look at what I'm doin.
I feel the fretboard speak to me !
The legend
The icon of modern blues.
Gone WAY too soon.
Had so much life and music still to offer the world.
We live and miss you Steve Ray.
he had the strongest hands in music. sick as fuck. NEVER will be duplicated
Stevie Ray Vaughan....I'm so proud to be named after you and I'm so sad that I never got the privilege of meeting you and seeing you do what you loved to do. You are and will always be my idol. Your talent and memory will never fade so long. As I am alive. Thank you so much for the gift that you left us. rest in peace forever Stevie Ray...I love you brother.
With a name like that you better bring the HEAT!!!!
I wanna thank Stevie for the great jams he gave before he left. RIP.
Stevie has one of the coolest tones ever!!! I love it!
I'm glad that many videos like this still exists so we can remember Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Really cool to see him bumping to his own music there at the end
Man he could play! One of the most unique sounds in guitar history.
Love knowing that that man played in my home town at Ardent studios and live gigs. Saw him the year before he passed away playing at the Beale St Music fest. Great man.
Amazing individual. Wish we coulda' had kept him much longer. God bless his spirit.
The man is and always will be a Legend. Thank you Stevie for your contribution to music.
Srv was and always will be my most influential guitarist he had a feel and technique no guitarist bar hendrix has ever attained any of his music instantly makes me feel better. Pure inspiration. See you on the other side you good TEXAN.
Matthew Goodridge what about Ritchie Blackmore ?
@@AndyNyle Great guitarist far different style massive influence on malmsteen and neo classical guitarist's worldwide. But not as bluesy as Stevie
Amen, brother ...
Absolute genius..The book about him called Crossfire I think is just phenomenal...To put superglue on you're fingers and take skin from you're body so you can keep playing tells me everything about him...He made sure he would master the guitar and he did in my opinion..
Just glad I saw him several times including his last stop in Alpine Wisconsin. Fog was so thick you could cut it with a knife, couldn’t see 6 feet in front of you after the concert. Couldn’t believe they were flying choppers in that.Sad time but legends never die R.I.P. SRV. Got some nice SRV memorabilia hanging on the wall so Stevies always in the house haha ☮️
That WAHHHHHH sound is godlike

That zoned in look at the end is like his "eye of the tiger" so to speak. Someone at an elite level in their craft can dial this in and when they do, look out because something amazing is about to happen. Damn it's amazing what he did in his short time here.
Aside from being the best guitarist that ever lived, every video I’ve seen and every encounter I’ve hear of shows him to be a very descent human being. No prima donna disorder in this guy’s blood.
*decent
albert king told him to stay humble... he listened
Don’t be sad he’s gone, be glad he was here!
amen.
I love Stevie Ray with or without his hat. Man, he was damn fine!! ❤️
There is no one, and I mean no one, to ever touch a guitar that compares to Stevie. He is the best. I don't see anyone taking that title from him any time soon. I wish there was music out even half as good as his.
Hendrix was first and a massive influence on S.r.v
@@adammyers3718 Hendrix is dope. I like arcs music better but other are kick ass
I love Lenny and Riviera Paradise. I really wonder how jazzy he could have gotten in the decades to come. So much more to give. Gone way too soon!
He was definitely a fan of jazz - when I play those two sings on my hollow body archtop and set my amp for mellow tones it sounds like jazz. What an incredible artist.
Oh wow! I so enjoyed watching this. A true treasure find of sweet Stevie Ray. And a true rarity to see him without his hat on. He was so amazing!
My man here was rocking Antonio Banderas hairstyle from Desperado way before than Antonio Banderas himself :D
Dork
S.R.V. was and is one of the greatest pickers . A lot of people just don't realize how much behind the scenes work a musician puts in to get the music to us . His death was tragic . He'll always be missed . I hope that he's playing in heaven . 😎 OL School claw hammer .
Stevie’s Mother Martha has confirmed that Stevie’s was a Christian and rededicated his life prior to his death.
The world is so much poorer without him. He looks great here, glad he found some peace for a couple years before he died. Another humble, amazing artist gone way too soon. His sound is impeccable (though that 60Hz hum is pretty overwhelming), he makes it look so simple. Thank you Stevie. RIP.
Really really miss him! What an amazing talent
Such a tragic loss. One of the greatest. Thanks for sharing this footage.
Saw him play live in a small college venue in the early 80’s right after Texas Flood, and then again in the 90’s in a bigger place after he was sober. Man oh man he always give his all... inspired me to play, he and EVH. Never forget those shows.
Yeah it was at the State Theater in Portland Maine early on his tour for “In Step.” Great acoustics there, it was epic. He never should of got on that chopper that day...
Rip SRV and EVH. If heaven exists than you know there is a small venue on main st there where all the greats do an open jam. Can you friggin imagine a Hendrix, SRV and EVH jam? My luck heaven has a noise ordinance and church everyday.... lol
Stevie Ray Vaughan was a great producer and as we know,was the greatest guitar player in a lifetime..His very own studio and he wrote and sang his songs before stepping on a stage to reveal a song he wrote along with band members helping out in the struggle of music..captivation and genius was behind Stevie Ray Vaughans blue's and rock n roll lyrics..all know a matter of a short time,a song was ready for the stage and the fun loving fans of Double Trouble and Stevie Ray Vaughan..success was ahead of them..
I was blessed enough to see SRV many times during my time in Austin, 82-04. Quite the performer. Always a great show. Antone's, Roam In, Auditorium Shores, etc.
17 people give Stevie Ray a thumbs down.. I ain’t even mad,, just .. y’all sad
How true. Probably kids that will never know what real music and musicianship is.
They were probably like "That dude just plays all those blues licks John Mayer invented."
Nickhead87 what do you mean by “ you people “ all I said was it was sad.. not bad, ignorant , or wrong. You must be a narcissistic fella to start out with “ you people” and end with calling folks ignorant. Enjoy your superior online life.
I know this stuff...these vids are out there. Such a pleasant and pleasurable surprise when someone breaks one out.
Please come back, Stevie Ray! We need ya' now more than ever!
Imagine being in his presence. Incredible.
Stevie lost his life, music lost its soul, forever, and perhaps the worst of it, the world lost most of a legendary lifetime worth of the most incredible music that would never be heard.
So young, barely into his prime, had already developed a legendary catalogue that will live eternally.
I can nearly weep imagining what incredible work Stevie would have created with even another 5-10 years to build on, let alone the inspiration that unrealized body of work would have offered others to carry the torch a little farther.
SRV,
The Man - The legend- The loss
OTGDY But I suppose the Greater they are the younger they go.
Loved the gifts he left behind but the loss for us is just wrenching. I wish he'd been given more time with us.
First note.
Goosebumps.
SRV was taken from us way too young. I'm glad that I had the privilege of seeing him live in 1988.
I always get tears in my eyes when I hear him perform. Enough said
damn, I had chills watching this the whole time...SRV RIP brother.
He looks good without the hat on! Stevie is in the zone here trying to get his sound right! LOVE IT!
I spent a month recording at Ardent in Memphis.. Been in that same room. Met Jimmy Vaughan there. Great studio. A lot of history.
