To All you people wondering why he stopped and restarted : I know it's hard to believe now, but back then ACL was important. It was for real music by real musicians and if you got to play there - you damn sure brought your A game. SRV was not a star yet, this was still part of his 'big break' and he wanted to make not only a good impression but to live up to those that he'd seen on ACL up to that point. It was a MUSICIANS show, not crap like SNL or Solid Gold. So SRV was nervous, and you can tell he was not happy with his performance... so he stopped and restarted hoping to do it better. SRV on his worst day was better than anyone else at their best... but he didn't realize that. And god love him... he gave his all to us every time he played. Still, without question, the greatest loss of life in the history of music.
Every guitar player out there can u keep that ferocious playing going for 7 minutes straight, I know I can't and he's on guage 13s. Absolute beast incredible
This show is discussed in Texas Flood. Stevie was in the midst of a bad bender and was very nervous about this performance, had mild stage fright. He didn't think it went well at all when it was done. Obviously it was quite great as usual
My oldest brother survived a helicopter crash in nam has not been on a flying machine since drives everywhere he's a bad ass glad to have him in my corner
I keep watching Tommy , he sees, where Stevie Ray, is at , on the 🎸, then Tommy plays his notes, accordingly..amazing how they together as a team, can read each other like a book.. Awesome 🙏🎶
Stevie Ray Vaughan,phenomenal electric guitar player and singer ..great band which became Double Trouble and a success..never be forgotten..RIP Stevie..2021into 2022..
What was wrong with the first one here? He left out a couple licks but that's why I love watching and listening to SRV live. Never played a song the same way twice.
It's kind if like when he played Life Without You on MTV and stopped abruptly after making a minor mistake. I had to back and replay it twice to see how he messed up. I wish he had started the song again because he was killing it on that 12 string.
Our beloved old super bands and stars are fantastic. However, it is also a fact that in recent years, measured by the TOP 50 hit lists of the largest music markets in the world, no human musicians were involved in more than 80% of the songs / hit recordings. And the computer-generated sound is still on the rise. So let's all support young musicians who make handmade music. Only if we buy their records, DVDs and merch do we enable the young bands and musicians to turn their passion into a profession and also to be able to make a living from it. The ROCK N ROLL is crying out for help folks...🤘🎸🎹🎷🎤🎺🥁🤘.
As always the pure, raw, virtuosity is on full display throughout. Any theories on why he stopped the first take? Even when i relisten to it I cannot figure it out.
If it wasn't good enough for him, it wasn't good enough for anybody, he thought. No matter if his own our his audiance's ears might be somewhat dumb that night. As prodigal with his talent as only genius can be.

True that
He was also high on coke
SRV was by no means whatsoever better then everyone else on his worst day. Like that statement is just so disrespectful to so many musicians.
@@elguitar238 He was tho
@@jofus5312 sure
I’ve never seen this double-take before…….and I wept at the fire SRV and DT gave us 🔥 Never forgotten, never, ever rivalled ✊🏻

Cant believe he played this for 7 minutes
Steel fingers of SRV

He never ceases to amaze. God I wish he was still with us.

the first take was wonderfull ❤ but the second was even better
I keep watching Tommy , he sees, where Stevie Ray, is at , on the 🎸, then Tommy plays his notes, accordingly..amazing how they together as a team, can read each other like a book..
Awesome 🙏🎶
Virtuoso need other virtuosos in his team...
In a more recent interview Tommy said, “I don’t think I ever heard him play a song the same way twice.”
I don’t think he did either!
"A Song for You: The Austin City Limits Story" on YT Go to 30 minutes in for Stevie and DT.

Stevie was an absolute BEAST on that strat.
This is Classical Music, kids. It has to be by now.
Bass player is always so cool, like molasses in wintertime.

Only he knows...

LOL Do you think Stevie is in charge? He never played a song the same way twice, amen , because that strat was talking !
Jimmy said he never played a song the same way once…😂 I’ve always loved that quote, captures Stevie’s essence beautifully
He missed some of the changes.
The best thing I’ve ever seen
A force like that had to be discovered...
One of the best RIP
Master!

Thank you SO much for posting this.
You can tell by how hard he's slamming the strings as he's strumming at the end that he's not at all happy with how that went lol.
Si que es un disfrute verlo y escuchar a svr
What a soul..
❤❤❤
That sounds amazing 👏

Nr.1
😍
@2:20 Stevie put his finger in the air and God said .....
Guau🤸♂️🧑🎄🤣😅
I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND why he suddenly stopped...
It's for TV..
PBS Austin City Limits...probably get to fill 30 minutes and you want it to be the best u can.
Wonder why he didn't always do this? I've caught many mistakes hes done or broken a string or something and he didn't stop and restart the song.
3rd version at 2:19
3rd take is at 2:18
5:57 One of the dirtiest riffs I've ever heard
Watch the Austin city limits biography movie. And you will understand why Stevie did what he did
Care to elaborate for those of us who don't have access to said movie?

Where did he get all those notes from????
God
A great Texas Blues guitar , a blood Blues 🌺🌱❤❤🙏🙏
Does anyone knows if this available in hd?
That bend at 5:26 is just straight nasty
I like his Song "Due Your Job" and "Why, due you even get Paid"!
If stevie's strat could talk when he was playing do you think she would be moaning from pleasure or screaming from pain.
Pleasure definitely. He was making the deepest most passionate love I've ever seen. And I've been around the block a time or two slim.
