I don't give a damn what anyone else says. When he was alive he was one of the best guitar players on the planet!!!! Such a shame he was taken too soon.........
Every time I watch his videos, I realize what the world lost all those years ago. Very few have been his equal , if any. What a shame that the world lost him so soon.
Masters. No shortage of talent there. Had never heard of the show- was this their house band? Omar Hakim, Hiram Bullock- not familiar with the bassist, but he was killing it.
No disrespect to Double Trouble, but that is the best version of my favourite song that I have ever heard. You hear people say Stevie was one of the best. You can shorten that. Stevie was the best. Period. There are a lot of greats in the history of 20th century, western pop music, but no guitar player offered more.
This backup band was actually filled with VERY talented and accomplished musicians.... They were still blown away by SRV... you should check out when SRv was on Arsenio... Arsenio's band was amazed just by his warming up
Stevie was a humble guitarist who acknowledged everyone's contribution to music. But Stevie Ray Vaughan was built different. He perfected his craft to a level in my opinion to which no one yet has achieved. Greatly missed. RIP Stevie Ray. You are greatly missed 🥲
Yes, Steve Ray was one great guitariste, but, is and was not the only one, still to this day, Hendrix, Clapton only to name thos two are as good! Also look-up on youtube for Pat Pietracupa's work Cheer's
SRV is an exceptional guitarist but nobody ever comments on what a great vocalist he is. Not only is he the master of this style, he created it. Nuff said.
I thought the same thing less than halfway thru it, too. He is "on" here, extra sharp chops, Lots of vocals in the vocals, all kinds of flair & heavy struttin', you know?
I NEVER get tired of watching and listening to Stevie play. Still sad about his passing to this day and thinking about what might have been. My all time favorite.
@@JulieLambert-b1lExactly! I totally agree. Stevie Ray Vaughan could make anyone look great. He is still missed and loved 😢 Rest in Peace Stevie Ray Vaughn✌️❤️🌼
You know you a Bad Man when you pop a String on national TV just pull it off show everyone and go on to next song with no panic. That's A Bad Ass Bass Player!!!!!!WOW!!
My husband was a BIG Stevie Ray fan. Just wish I had found this before my husband passed away in September. He would have really enjoyed seeing this. He introduced SRV to me.
@Marcus Harjo oh, yes. Have thought about this a lot. Can you imagine heaven with all our musicians playing together? Tom Petty was the one that hit me bad.
@Marcus Harjo He was not as big of Hendrix fan as me. When we met at 19 in 1974, he was in to CCR and John Denver. He was also the one who introduced me to my absolute favorites, Dave Gilmour and Floyd.💗
In 1984 Stevie won two WC Handy Awards, for instrumentalist AND for Entertainer. The blues is sort of held at arms length by some. The Handy organization has worked to change that. The awards are held in Memphis yearly, and are legit. On the podium while accepting the award, Stevie broke down and wept. He was inconsolable. Finally he gathered himself and apologized. He explained that guitar had been a natural occurrence, but that he was humbled by the recognition of his vocal talent by “people that truly knew”. He was still unknown to the general public, still hoping that his talent and passion would support him- something that eluded 99% of blues men before him. True award, true talent, true story.
I have been and remain still an avid fan of Stevie Ray. I first discovered him in the 90s and have never been disappointed with his musical vision. The man was a genius. Miss him greatly.
I was lucky enough to see SRV live back in the mid 80’s.The man was a player.He could bend railroad ties with those hands,that battered old Strat took a beating with his playing style.What a loss to music world.✌️
Yeah, but the other dude on the Strat needs to dial it back. Stevie is the star and the dude is distracting. The director and cameraman knew this and angled him out as much as possible.
Brother Hiram Bullock is right there with him. Two of the baddest guitar players ever, and also two of the coolest beat to sh1t sunburst Strats playing on the same live performance. This performance captured lighting in a bottle. Bass player had so much fun he broke a string, and kept playing into the next song. This whole performance is pure joy.
Stevie left a HUGE hole in music. Nothing close to him before and nothing like him since he left... way too early. I am fortunate to be living in a time with such amazing music.
I know he died next yr.funny part it was CROSSROADS at the exit of pine valley, umm25th262 shows all connected one way or another with Robert Johnson I'm just saying it's odd Clapton is sick he will here them hellhounds next I hope not it's odd I study the math and history. WHACH STEVIE AND ALBERT KING THIS AIN'T SHIT!HERE
I never thought I could ever see and hear both legends together, SRV and Omar Hakim! In fact, every musician is a powerhouse here. What an incredible tight performance. You'd believe they'd all been playing together since forever!!!
Omar (one of my favorite drummers) is brilliant, versatile beyond words, and _just_ the work he did with, for example, DIre Straits is a master class in modern rock drumming.
Oh my lawd......Stevie Ray just assaulted that stratocaster. He just manhandled the guitar and bent it to his will. Man, I sure do miss his playing.....he became a guitar legend in the short time he was here.....just imagine what he would have done by now.....he had gone through the trials of addiction and came out on the winning side....his best years were still in front of him......gone too soon.
I remember watching this when it first aired on television and being blown away at how really cool Stevie Ray Vaughan and all of the surrounding musicians were on this show. All of these many-many years later...I'm still blown away. Rest in peace Mr. Ray Vaughan, you are missed. To all of the other awesome musicians surrounding him, be well, and thank you for rocking the house.
I love Stevie Ray and Double Trouble but this band is fabulous. You can tell these guys are top flight musicians because they can play with someone they don't usually play with and sound like they have been together with Stevie Ray for years. Simply Dynamite post ! Thanks very much !!
There simply has never ...ever... been a better music show then "NIGHT MUSIC" on T.V. Every show...week in and out was a true master class of talent! And there truly was no fiercer or brighter star on a Strat then Stevie Ray. What a jewel of a performance. I worship and cherish every note.
When you break a bass string and you tell Stevie I'll manage with 3. Phaaaaawwwk!!! How am I just coming across this amazing video in February 2020. Better late than never i guess.
Just when you think there is no SRV video or audio that you haven't seen, somebody posts a jewel like this !! Thanks for sharing this incredible performance !
It's hard to not watch his fingers on that Strat. but if you watch his face, that says it all. He loved what he was doing. We lost someone special in him.
Stevie is the master I would loved to have seen him live…sadly I spent my younger years into thrash,metal, and hard core music and missed out..thank god for these vidoes at least..RIP srv.
The guy is talented. But as someone who saw Double Trouble AND the Vaughn Brothers over 30 times, you make it sound like Shannon (and Layton) was a lesser talent. Completely untrue. Stevie put his group together for a reason. Tommy, Chris and later Reese were unparalleled. Don’t just be the guy on TH-cam looking for “that comment”. And TH-cam.....placing ads at 5:30 is a sacrilege. You guys have no soul.
@@allenkennedy6748 I agree, Tommy Shannon was an absolute monster blues bass player and Layton could play that shuffle groove as good as anyone. This house band is great but shannon and Layton were not just side men, they were great players. They were a rock solid rhythm section.
I was in 💘 love with stevie ray. He wore a mean black skinner on his head. That hat was awesome!! Rest in God's bosom. I bet he's playing a groovy guitar in heaven
It was Vaughan who became an all-time Blues legend after the very 1st note we heard him play. It was he who was ear-marked and destined to become the "Heir Apparent" to BB King as the new King of the Blues for the younger generation of Blues fans. His loss is a blow the Guitar community and the Blues community has never recovered from.
There are very few artists, in my opinion, that play and sing as good live as they do in the studio. Srv was one of those few who could do it better on stage than in the recording studio.
I said this elsewhere, too, but I thought the same thing less than halfway thru it, too. He is "on" here, extra sharp chops, Lots of vocals in the vocals, all kinds of flair & heavy struttin', you know?
That’s real music there ....everyone of those guys are A1 musicians in their own right. Notice how the bass player breaks a string and still continues on without missing a beat. And you can tell that SRV respects those other players. Real knows real.
Stevie will always be the most electrifying guitarist ever known, just for having pure taste. It was all about the music and never about him. What a monster of a legend. Always will love him T. I. D.
Takes me back this show…… I loved watching all the musical guest that came thru…….Stevie, Miles, Bootsy and Jeff Healy(RIP) were some of my favorite episodes❤
Is this as Good as it gets...or What ?!!!! Drums.. pounding...Bass ... thumping..Mr 'Guitar' Bullock.. RIP.🙏Dancing.. . Stevie Ray on lead guitar/vocals....Man oh ...MAN !! Awesome !!! OMG... Mr Dilly.... Loving lt !!!! 👍🎸😎❤️
Right now Stevie Ray and Hiram are playing together in Heaven as we speak. Thank you Steve Ray Vaughn and Hiram Bullock for the great inspirations for me to play this wonderful guitar. The Fender Starcaster Strat is the best electric guitar in the world.
Incredible band!! You can easily see that they were almost overwhelming for Stevie, but in a powerful positive way, it showed in his breathing and playing!! Omar Hakim is a powerful drummer!!! @4:20 Stevie takes a deep breath and realizes they have the song DOWN and he really cuts loose! Wow!!! Rest In Peace Stevie Ray Vaughan, Dave Sanborn.
Ahhhh, ummmm, errrrr.....GAAWD DAY'UM!!! No slackers here. When was this? 1989. Back when raw talent was abundant. Live sounded as good as recording. We were all very, very lucky to grow up with so much great talent. Cherish it 'cause it will never happen again sadly
Sending this to my sons and grandkids. To witness greatness is a precious gift that must be shared. If SRV was still with us hearing him live would be on my bucket list.
Masquedebe Very lucky that I got to see him when I was 15 and I think the crowd was only a few thousand people and then he died when I was in Boot Camp at Parris Island
Hello Battered Statocaster Stevie Ray Vaughan..the guitar legend sings ..styles and profiles..got it..the best singer and electric guitar player that ever put on a pair of shoes..fantastic band and outpouring of love from all the fans Stevie touches with his music through the airwaves..this is grand..
Baddest greatest band ever to watch right here on this video, 40 years of playing music and I was dancing with them and felt things I never felt before! He should have taken them on tour with him!
I don't give a damn what anyone else says. When he was alive he was one of the best guitar players on the planet!!!! Such a shame he was taken too soon.........
he saved the life of EC by switching heli..
Amen to that !
Still is !!!
He lived just for playing, not everybody gets the chance.
I can't imagine anyone disputing you 😮👍✌️❤️🌼
Every time I watch his videos, I realize what the world lost all those years ago. Very few have been his equal , if any. What a shame that the world lost him so soon.
Yes a great loss 😢 I am so fortunate to have seen him live in '87, then poof in an instant he was gone 😢✌️❤️🌼
Whose here in 2024? 68 yr old white woman here who STILL APPRECIATES A Master & Still getting goosebumps
Masters. No shortage of talent there. Had never heard of the show- was this their house band? Omar Hakim, Hiram Bullock- not familiar with the bassist, but he was killing it.

Apreciate from Brazil THE king Steve ray
70 years young. Marry me.
I'm a 66 year old white guy . SRV pushed it out there like no one else.
No disrespect to Double Trouble, but that is the best version of my favourite song that I have ever heard.

Yep ... totally agree with all that...and now I'm gonna listen to it again 😁
True that…
The freaking bass player broke a string. They were feeling that jam for sure
I will never, NEVER again hear another guitarist with that level of intensity. SRV was the best
SRV stands alone. But check out Kenny Wayne Shepherd. You will be glad you did😊
You just haven't heard me yet.
Stevie was a humble guitarist who acknowledged everyone's contribution to music. But Stevie Ray Vaughan was built different. He perfected his craft to a level in my opinion to which no one yet has achieved. Greatly missed. RIP Stevie Ray. You are greatly missed 🥲
Yes, Steve Ray was one great guitariste, but, is and was not the only one, still to this day, Hendrix, Clapton only to name thos two are as good!

Dye your hair(HAIR) peroggi, nooooooooo 😢
The blues brothers, all the police are musicians before they meet STING
HE'S DEAD YES,BUT IF YOU 17 TO 35 YEARS OLD NOW,PLEASE DON'T LET STEVIE'S MUSIC DIE AS YOU GET OLDER.
i sure as hell wont (im 15 so idk if i count but eh whatever i love his music and admire him as a guitarist anyway)
@@Nishida-kun Thank you 🤟🌠✌️❤️🌼

SRV is an exceptional guitarist but nobody ever comments on what a great vocalist he is. Not only is he the master of this style, he created it. Nuff said.
I think it's because his guitar skills are in the top 10 ever in history and his brilliant strong guttural blues voice gets underrated
His vocals dripped with soul and they spoke so much more than just the words. I agree with your comment.
I’ve thought the same man. He’s got a killer voice forsure
his vocal was equal to his playing,all in one package,that is why the word genius applies,he was really something
I thought the same thing less than halfway thru it, too. He is "on" here, extra sharp chops, Lots of vocals in the vocals, all kinds of flair & heavy struttin', you know?
I NEVER get tired of watching and listening to Stevie play. Still sad about his passing to this day and thinking about what might have been. My all time favorite.
Yes ❤
@@evilokram1SRV was great. David Sanborn and his band were fantastic, and played with other artists. What a combination of talent.
Stevie's greatness is reflected in the joy of the musicians. Look at the smiles on their faces as they play!
Right on! I noticed that, too. Even Tom Barney was happy about his broken guitar string.
Yep, they were groovin’, smiling, and dancing!
Indeed
Settle down bend over boy who cracks a smile fulla pile.....
You couldn't chisel those smiles off🤣💯👍🏿🤘🏿
How can this be 30 years ago??? God, I miss SRV.
That voice! We don't talk about it enough!
I KNOW RIGHT 🎤
That is one badass house band.
He's making them LOOK good!!!😂
@@JulieLambert-b1lExactly! I totally agree. Stevie Ray Vaughan could make anyone look great. He is still missed and loved 😢 Rest in Peace Stevie Ray Vaughn✌️❤️🌼

I hadn't heard this. So glad I did it before I died. (I am 82)

Only 82 that's young !
you are just starting bro keep going strong
you still have a couple years left in you. peace be with you
Too old to rock and roll too young to die!

This is July 2022 and still can't believe how great he was!!!! We never appreciated SRV like we should have. God Bless
Same!
allot of us did appreciate him !!!!
Who's we
Funk was so heavy on that stage, surprised it didn’t collapse after the first 30 seconds...
Almost collapsed into a black hole! They were all on fire!!
Yeah, but the other dude on the Strat needs to dial it back. Stevie is the star and the dude is distracting. The director and cameraman knew this and angled him out as much as possible.

Such a tragedy for music that the world lost Stevie.
This is perfect. Just perfect. He is so good it’s beyond human.

No dissing,but Hendrix could never touch guys like this.sorry
They are having a good time, and you can hear it.
Stevie Ray Vaughan could play so clean, and yet with so much funk. Beautiful.
No auto tune here folks. Just pure talent and skill; the rest of the band is absolutely fantastic.
WELL HOW CAN ANYONE TOP THIS MUSIC AND THROWING DOWN ON THE GUITAR STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN HAS IT SEWED UP .....!!!!
I never thought I could ever see and hear both legends together, SRV and Omar Hakim! In fact, every musician is a powerhouse here. What an incredible tight performance. You'd believe they'd all been playing together since forever!!!
Omar (one of my favorite drummers) is brilliant, versatile beyond words, and _just_ the work he did with, for example, DIre Straits is a master class in modern rock drumming.
@@oneanddone7992 dont leave out Weather Report
And his work with Sting was exactly the sound Sting needed back then.
Omar is the man. One of the finest drummers ever.
You actually hear them together every time David Bowies “Lets Dance” comes on the radio. They did that session together. This was a real treat though
Best version of this song I’ve ever heard.
Hiram was also a great, amazingly unique player, I really love. RIP
Head bobbing like nobody bidness...
Oh my lawd......Stevie Ray just assaulted that stratocaster. He just manhandled the guitar and bent it to his will. Man, I sure do miss his playing.....he became a guitar legend in the short time he was here.....just imagine what he would have done by now.....he had gone through the trials of addiction and came out on the winning side....his best years were still in front of him......gone too soon.
Amen to that sky was the limit
aint that the way with all the good ones!
Amen to that. Stevie was a master.
The brightest burn out the quickest.
Stevie's technical virtuosity was just amazing. He truly was the master of his instrument! What an amazing guitar player! Wow!
One in a million.....err......billion.
He's a blues player. No master by a long shot
A pretty average blues player no technical virtuoso
@StevieZerø what a load of bullshit. He could play jazz as well being a phenomenal blues musician. "pretty average" 🤣
I remember watching this when it first aired on television and being blown away at how really cool Stevie Ray Vaughan and all of the surrounding musicians were on this show. All of these many-many years later...I'm still blown away. Rest in peace Mr. Ray Vaughan, you are missed. To all of the other awesome musicians surrounding him, be well, and thank you for rocking the house.
Remember him on Austin city nights((??))me & my wife (rip) sitting in bed digging this-- she was a good person!!
A bass player snapping strings is seriously digging to get the groove out, super tasty playing
And he's just like "fuck it, I'll do the next one on three strings"
Ain't that Stevie's trademark
Oh man you copied that from me ... That bass is digging lowdown to the underground .
I love Stevie Ray and Double Trouble but this band is fabulous. You can tell these guys are top flight musicians because they can play with someone they don't usually play with and sound like they have been together with Stevie Ray for years. Simply Dynamite post ! Thanks very much !!
This is A-List.
The musicians on night music can play anything....
Top shelf for real. Band is on fucking fire.
Dont you think they rehearsed a few times before the show?
@@69Curtdog maybe, but wouldn't be surprised if they just ran a soundcheck and BOOM
If this was my house band,i would never leave home...just absolutely nailed it!
Who the hell has a 'house band' in their own home? Even weathy people don't have something like that.
There simply has never ...ever... been a better music show then "NIGHT MUSIC" on T.V. Every show...week in and out was a true master class of talent! And there truly was no fiercer or brighter star on a Strat then Stevie Ray. What a jewel of a performance. I worship and cherish every note.
Steve Ray in my opinion is the greatest guitarist 🎸 of all time 👏🙌✨️👍🇺🇸
top ten for sure!
I think he's #1 I think even Duane Allman would agree. Now that would be really great to see. 😮 Stevie Ray Vaughn and Duane Allman 🎉✌️❤️🌼
You absolutely KNOW IT!!!😊❤❤❤

It's hard to not watch his fingers on that Strat. but if you watch his face, that says it all. He loved what he was doing. We lost someone special in him.
When Stevie was alive he was really alive. Not just one of the best. THE BEST.
He was there best, alot of people can't hear it, ALWAYS the correct note
Stevie is the master I would loved to have seen him live…sadly I spent my younger years into thrash,metal, and hard core music and missed out..thank god for these vidoes at least..RIP srv.
I was fortunate enough to see Stevie once. As always, he’s great here….Makes me want to hang up playing guitar!
✌️😎🎸🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶
One of my great regrets in life is not seeing SRV live…
Saw him live in early 1983. Mind blowing performance.
I saw him in Boulder,co. Maybe his last tour. My guy took me to meet the master. We were not disappointed. I've never seen anyone like him. RIP SRV.
I love Double Trouble, but I've never seen Stevie with a bassist with this much (string-breaking) groove. It's like a whole new level of SRV.
he was the perfect bass player for SRV's style. He played that bass the same way Stevie played his strat. With intensity
Truly!!!

160 dislikes? No accounting for tastes. They are killing it in this video. Stevie at his best as usual.
Up to 661 now (3/6/20). WTF is wrong with people. This version is f**king epic.
The entire band is on fire!
3:00 Band is cruising gently along for the ride
3:45 Ignition - SRV lights the fuse
4:45 Band is all in
5:00 Religious experience
"Ignition - SRV lights the fuse" is the best description I ever heard for srv! :) love it
Seriously..I love Double Trouble but with these guys it’s like SRV in IMAX
Man, the bass player broke a string! That's awesome!
It was Vaughan who became an all-time Blues legend after the very 1st note we heard him play. It was he who was ear-marked and destined to become the "Heir Apparent" to BB King as the new King of the Blues for the younger generation of Blues fans. His loss is a blow the Guitar community and the Blues community has never recovered from.
My cousin (IKE) always raved about this guy
HE' GREAT !!!!
There are very few artists, in my opinion, that play and sing as good live as they do in the studio. Srv was one of those few who could do it better on stage than in the recording studio.
Best version of Crossfire ever!
YES
I said this elsewhere, too, but I thought the same thing less than halfway thru it, too. He is "on" here, extra sharp chops, Lots of vocals in the vocals, all kinds of flair & heavy struttin', you know?
Jeffery A. Hunt I hear you! As soon as they start playing, they’re in the zone!
Ever!
A testimony to what a clean and sober SRV could do.
OMG.............this is what the world is missing now.... so so sad
I feel ya.
Watch SRV’s videos over and over. The level of excellence is incomparable. He was the Master. Period.
Omg…goosebumps and tears…..insane god given talent…..
Omar Hakim was fantastic with Sting on the Dream of the Blue Turtles album. Just an amazing jazz drummer that can do it all.
That’s real music there ....everyone of those guys are A1 musicians in their own right. Notice how the bass player breaks a string and still continues on without missing a beat. And you can tell that SRV respects those other players. Real knows real.

Bass player broke a string, ripped it off and played on 3 string style like a boss!
I heard about a bass player that broke all for Strings but that son-of-a-b**** kept playing all night long so I heard
lol Stevie looked at it and just went right on to the next song with no delay
@@zorroonmilkavitch1840 And that was me
@@bekchanovj tommy the cat was my name...and I say unto thee
That whole band is nuts. That drummer was on fire!
He's The greatest blues Man in my book. I'm a Bass player for 53 years. Would have been nice to play for jim
He was and will always be the straight up best player in the room!!!! Just a beast that keeps coming at you, the tone, the tone….
They say people wear their heart on their sleeves... SRV wore his heart through his guitar and his music... gone way too soon but not forgotten....
He delivered the performance of a lifetime. Bless him.!
Got to see SRV in concert in the early eighties opening for The POLICE!Aloha from Hawaii🤙🏽
Yasss! I love this version! The additional percussion adds so much life!
Rock on gentlemen!

This world 🌍 will nev😢 be the same 😢.
SRV the greatest guitar player of all time!!!!! That dude on the bass sure can pound it also.
If anyone hasn't figured it out yet ,this is the cream of the crop. Thanks for posting.
Right now Stevie Ray and Hiram are playing together in Heaven as we speak. Thank you Steve Ray Vaughn and Hiram Bullock for the great inspirations for me to play this wonderful guitar. The Fender Starcaster Strat is the best electric guitar in the world.
Good Lord, what an incredible backing band. Stevie should have taken them on tour.
Incredible band!! You can easily see that they were almost overwhelming for Stevie, but in a powerful positive way, it showed in his breathing and playing!! Omar Hakim is a powerful drummer!!! @4:20 Stevie takes a deep breath and realizes they have the song DOWN and he really cuts loose! Wow!!! Rest In Peace Stevie Ray Vaughan, Dave Sanborn.
Man I forgot all about this show. Watched it all the time as a kid. Real instruments, real sound, real music.
You don't realise how good he was until you go back and look at these old videos. Prince was damn good too, much underrated if you ask me....
Holy, f... me!. This has to be the best performance of this song. Soul pouring out!
Stevie's fingers were so fast on that strat that they got me dizzy watching. God bless his talented soul. The best!!
Ahhhh, ummmm, errrrr.....GAAWD DAY'UM!!!
No slackers here. When was this? 1989. Back when raw talent was abundant. Live sounded as good as recording.
We were all very, very lucky to grow up with so much great talent. Cherish it 'cause it will never happen again sadly
Sending this to my sons and grandkids. To witness greatness is a precious gift that must be shared. If SRV was still with us hearing him live would be on my bucket list.
Masquedebe Very lucky that I got to see him when I was 15 and I think the crowd was only a few thousand people and then he died when I was in Boot Camp at Parris Island
I saw SRV and DT at Reading '83 - they came onstage just an hour or so after midday. Absolutely blew me away.
absolutely perfect!!! SRV was a one of greatest guitarists of the World. RIP
Hello Battered Statocaster Stevie Ray Vaughan..the guitar legend sings ..styles and profiles..got it..the best singer and electric guitar player that ever put on a pair of shoes..fantastic band and outpouring of love from all the fans Stevie touches with his music through the airwaves..this is grand..
Baddest greatest band ever to watch right here on this video, 40 years of playing music and I was dancing with them and felt things I never felt before! He should have taken them on tour with him!
