Fun fact: The wah wah peddle he's using during this Jimi Hendrix cover is actually Jimi's old peddle. It was gifted to SRV by Jimi's family (his brother I think).
I'll never get tired of this performance, Stevie put some Voodoo magik into those strings and that guitar sounded like it let out some primal screams. The Drums were tribal and Stevie is the Shaman. Long live SRV. ☮️
I was lucky enough to see Stevie Ray Vaughn 6 times, and he was absolutely mesmerizing. Like Hendrix, he played the guitar like it was a part of him, not just an instrument he wore. I’ve been playing guitar for 43 years and I can assure you that it requires a great deal of skill and emotion to play the way he did. You can’t learn how to replicate his techniques with lessons, it’s something you just have to be born with. What was great about the way he played this Jimi Hendrix song was, unlike most guitarists, he didn’t copy it, but instead he played it his way. If you play guitar then you know what a difficult song this is to master.
Stevie performed VOODOO CHILD live in numerous locations, and every performance was different and an innovation. All are worth watching, and all are a tribute to Jimi, who wrote and performed the original on his ELECTRIC LADYLAND album (1968).
There was definitely only ONE Stevie Ray Vaughan. I'm always blown away by watching videos of him playing, no matter how many times I watch. Very thankful that I saw him live 2x in Austin in the 80's.
Finally you got around to this amazing performance. I believe it was during a Live video last year I suggested this tune. There was only one guitarist who played like Stevie.... HIM. Great choice.
Stevie dressed (right down to the hats) and had a playing style very similar to my father. I asked my dad one time if he had a son we didn't know about 😉 💚 The book Texas Flood is outstanding 🎶🎵
SRV played those strings so hard that he'd rip the calluses off of his fingertips. He'd glue them back on just to get through a performance. He'd play through the pain. That's wild to think about.
Saw his Couldn’t Stand the Weather tour in the eighties. Amazing stuff, great to revisit this again and great reaction 😊 Is this a Jimi Hendrix original?
This is a Jimi Hendrix song, which SRV was a big fan of. You wouldn’t believe how thick the strings were on his guitars. He was rough on them, so he had to have strong ones. Also, during this show (Austin City Limits 1989), one of his strings broke while he was doing a song (forgot which song) and they changed the guitar out while he was playing. He didn’t even skip a beat. I have this show on DVD or VHS as well as many others. Some of my VHS tapes my son threw away though. I hope this isn’t one of them.
Yes that broken string and seamless guitar switch was "Look At Little Sister"🎸🎶. He broke those big strings so often his tech crew performed like professional race car pit crews‼️ And of course Stevie is as cool as a boss and if you weren't looking your ear couldn't tell a break in the song.
I'll just say go listen to the original, Jimi Hendrix version. Jimi wrote it and while SRV does it justice nobody does it like Jimi. If you want to know just how influenced by Jimi Hendrix SRV was, just look at the whammy bar on Stevie's guitar. On a normal right hand stratocaster that bar attached to the lower end of the bridge. If however, you are left handed, like Jimi, and you flipped a right hand stratocaster over and restrung it for a left hand player the bar is now attached to the TOP of the bridge. Which is where SRV had it on his #1. Don't get me wrong, I love SRV. But I am an auld Scotsman frae Ayrshire 🏴. I remember when we first felt when we heard the Are You Experienced? record in 1967. We never heard anything like that before. Even now you can just listen to rock and roll before Jimi Hendrix and rock music after Jimi's debut in 1967 and you can hear it. Jimi Hendrix was the most influential, most important guitar player in the history of the instrument.
9:20 . . Talking about Stevie-Ray bending strings "Maybe he had them a bit looser . . ?" Quite the OPPOSITE. . Most guitar players use 10-gauge strings, sometimes as light as 8 or 9 gauge. . Stevie used 13 gauge strings. . . That's like bending REBAR with your fingertips!! NOBODY had hands as STRONG as him!
He was good, but he was no Jimi Hendrix. He wanted to be though. Jimi be his idol. He play all Jimi songs, wore the hats and scarves like Jimi, and played his all his music catalogue like this song. Only one Jimi Hendrix, and he changed Rock music over night.

Stevie had very strong hands. He used the heaviest strings he could find. He said "heavy strings gave the best tone, and tone is everything".
Stevie one of the greatest guitarist ever, thank you!

I'm so pleased for you I'm a little jealous
Stevie definitely had a gift... RIP Stevie, you are missed!!!
God givin talent. Rip King🙏

One of the best dang guitar players of all time!
such a wonderful song !!
In the mid 80's I went to a Robert Plant Concert, Stevie Ray was the opening act!! Totally amazing set!
I saw SRV open for Dire Straits during the Brothers in Arms tour in 86
There isn't no one alive that can pull strings this hard these days !!!
Finally you got around to this amazing performance. I believe it was during a Live video last year I suggested this tune. There was only one guitarist who played like Stevie.... HIM. Great choice.
I saw S.R.V. live a few times., Amazing!!!
SRV ~ 🎸🐐 The goatiest goat in all of goatness
Welcome to SRV. Remember, Stevie should always be seen live. Lenny, Mary had a little lamb... just to name a couple.
Stevie dressed (right down to the hats) and had a playing style very similar to my father. I asked my dad one time if he had a son we didn't know about 😉 💚
The book Texas Flood is outstanding 🎶🎵
His hand and fingers were freakishly strong. He plays with stronger strings that few do.
SRV = The G.O.A.T.
The GOAT
SRV always gave 110%. I love your review. I probably heard this song 100 times and never considered the lyrics.😅
this a jimi hendricks song and he did it justice..see jimi version too..live
One of the very best ever, SRV!
SRV played those strings so hard that he'd rip the calluses off of his fingertips. He'd glue them back on just to get through a performance. He'd play through the pain. That's wild to think about.

Google says yes lol
Ive been in this musical vein for 2 or 3 days...SRV was the truth
This is a Jimi Hendrix song, which SRV was a big fan of. You wouldn’t believe how thick the strings were on his guitars. He was rough on them, so he had to have strong ones.

Listen to Jimi Hendrix's version of Voodoo Child.
For Stevie Ray Vaughn listen to If the House is a Rocking & It's Flooding Down in Texas.
SRV is the GOAT. ENJOY 😎
NASTY!!!!
Those bends...with 13s
