One of the best quotes I ever heard was from Jimmie. "I know he was a great musician, and I know people love his music and think about him that way, but I miss my little brother"
Side note, Fil. I was DJing in a bar the night SRV died. When I heard the news, I announced it to the crowd. I then told them that I was playing his music for the rest of the night. No one complained, and no one left. There was a sort of communal commiseration. Lots of things I don't remember from those days, but I'll never forget that.
God Bless 🎸
I recall an interview with Stevie back in the late 1980’s from MTV. Stevie was asked who was the best rhythm guitarists ever had ever seen. Stevie replied simply “My brother Jimmy”. 👍 🎸
I think it was Robert Cray who said the same about Jimmy Vaughan. Jimmy was so sharp and persistant that you could tune a metronome after his rhythm guitar playing.
Sad this is, that no one ever gives Jimmy the credit he deserves as a guitarist! So underrated!!
Doesn't know quality so must call people underrated since you don't hear a person on FM radio 20 song rotation.
Someone asked Texas Flood co-authors Alan Paul and Andy Aledort about this in a book chat, and while they agreed that Jimmie doesn’t get the credit he deserves, they pointed out that other musicians love him-among contemporary blues guitarists that list includes Derek Trucks, Susan Tedeschi, Ronnie Earl, Gary Clark, Jr., Joe Bonamasso, Doyle Bramhall II, Sue Foley…among his peers, Bonnie Raitt, Clapton, Billy Gibbons, Carlos Santana have huge respect for JV…originators like Muddy Waters and Freddie King were big fans and helped the Fabulous Thunderbirds get gigs in the late 70s…and Buddy Guy has invited him on tour in recent years. Blues music is considered too niche for the mainstream (if there is even such a thing as “mainstream” music anymore), so high profile recognition among the casual listening public isn’t there, but those in the know, know about JLV.
@@35diamondgirl oh he definitely is well known and respected in the music community, I should have been more specific as far as your normal music fan. If you were to ask for their top guitarists list, 99% wouldn't name Jimmy Vaughan.
Given the Vaughan boys' relationship growing up as musicians it's an unlikely but wonderful thing, as brother embraces brother as they both play. Great one Fil! We are so fortunate that this got to happen before Stevie's loss. You can't help but smile when you see this. I still remember hearing the news about Stevie, 27 AUG 1990. Thank God he was in the TV and videotape age; we have many performances to look back on and listen to.
I Remember Too (Stevie RIP) at First they Thought it was Clapton but he didnt get on the Chopper Sad day We Lost an Angel
I’ve seen a few stills of their playing the double neck together from other performances, and those photos have made me weep a little, they’re so moving.
The Fabulous Thunderbirds were never the same after Jimmie Vaughan left the group. The album Family Style is one of my favorite albums. The Vaughan brothers have won 20 Grammy awards between then. Such a shame Stevie died just after he got off the drugs and started making music with his brother.
Powerful Stuff went Diamond, then Jimmie left the band to join his brother. TFT had a very significant success, while together.
Amen.
I heard stevie once say i don’t think anyone is born knowing how to play guitar except for my brother he truly admired his big brother what a beautiful relationship. This video is such a gem it shows the incredible talent of both brothers. I always loved the fabulous thunderbirds
The Vaughn brothers. Brilliant musicians. Two diffrent styles and levels but both rooted in the blues. Another great video and analysis.
I did 1986 Milwaukee Summerfest. Awesome show. Fabulous Thunder Birds opening act.
This is phenomenal and both brothers are a master at doing sensational music..Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jimmi Lee Vaughan..How magnificient is two brothers giving you everything they mastered and hope there fans enjoy ..This is incredible..watch there hands and fingers entertain you and bring all the rhythem straight to you..
I was privileged to see SRV in Sioux Falls, SD just a few weeks before his death. I was amazed at his right hand movement. For most of his playing, his eyes were rolled back and he was totally into it. A good friend who worked at a local pawn shop got a private concert (from 5 feet away) when he came in and raided their secret stash of vintage instruments.
I clicked as fast as I could when I saw the title!!
Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jimmy Lee Vaughan are SENSATIONAL on this one guitar performance..2 legends..miss u Stevie.
Two fantastic guitarists, but Stevie was my favorite!!! He put heart and soul in every performance. He loved and admired his brother and always credited him as his biggest influence. Such a loss. I am excited to see Jimmie Vaughan and Buddy Guy play in Austin the end of this month!!!
Any time you have a chance to see Buddy Guy DO IT! He's at the point in his life that you may not get another chance. He's already in his 80's.
Ahh, Fil I see you decided to check out this amazing video.
And Jimmie Vaughn is one of the all time greats.
Thanks for sharing!
Braaad!😀
How it go wit cha?
Oct 30, 1985 saw SRV at the Orpheum in Memphis...Jason and the Scorchers opened. Stevie walked out playing Scuttle Buttin. I knew of him from working at Record Bar the prev 2 years. He broke 6 strings that night! I was there with some waaay dedicated Deadheads and they were in awe! Ended the show laying down with his head against a monitor, pulled his hat down over his eyes and just jammed his Stevie stuff. Saw him either 1 or 2 times at Memphis In May too. I hope someone who may have been there reads this!
Thanks, Fil!!
Cool!
Brothers in family, technique, soul and expression. Great to see them get on so well. They both are certainly talented guitarists. Stevie thought no one was better than Jimmy. In the end Jimmy states, he learned from Stevie as well..humanity and sobriety. If you haven't already, catch Jimmy's heartfelt speech at Steve's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame. It's here on TH-cam. Genuine, personal and touching.
R.I.P. Stevie. Thanks for all the Love you passed our way. ❤
The legends..Jimmie Vaughan and Stevie Ray Vaughan..music legends that brought blue's and Rock to fans all over the world..what a tune and sound they are sending out to fans in the airwaves and over the airwaves..musically inclined and phenomenal talent on both brothers..This calls for a Standing Hello Vaughans and a clap of the hands ..Don't u think so? What an impressive sound on one guitar..
The Fab Tbirds also had a great lead singer in Kim Wilson. Great underrated act👏
Stevie loved all the greats, Hendrix, Albert King, Clapton, and so many others but not as much as he looked up to his big brother.
Jimmie's arms must have gotten tired along with his back. What a grat performance, I would have loved to see that live.
This is my all time favorite video of the the brothers. I'm glad you finally got to this one. Thanks, Fil!
Nice to see big brother hug him......one never knows. I’m glad they were so close.
So glad this was recorded, otherwise, no one would believe it actually happened. This is so brilliant and beautiful. I won't comment about the musical ability, because really, what else could I add??? So I'll just say that as a mother, it warms my heart and breaks it at the same time. I wish these brothers could have grown old together. Yes, we were robbed of a superhuman talent, but oh, his mother!!! It's just not right.
My back is killing me just watching Jimmie there.
I consider myself fortunate to have seen SRV and Jeff Beck at MSG less than a year before SRV's untimely and tragic passing. We had lousy seats, but it was still a great show to see.
I was fortunate enough to see them together twice. If not for exams I'd have driven another 12 hrs for a third show.
Peg!you just blew my mind that show was on riverboat president down in New Orleans I was 21 standing close to the stage, there were a lot of local artists first then the Thunderbirds did a set then Stevie did his set then him and his brother started this about 1 am I saw a lot of shows on that boat before they decommissioned it but this one always stands out to me.Thank you for this video.really brought me back!
Artisans Marble Awesome story!
Peace. JR
Cool!
I saw them do this live at the Mann Music Center in Philadelphia in 1987. The Fabulous Thunderbirds opened for Stevie Ray and DT. Needless to say... it was a good night.
Oh man, I remember when _Family Style_ came out and how heartbreaking it was to listen to, and how remarkable it really was.
Yes Fil,Stevie's hands were incredibly strong as were Jimmie's for that matter. He has briefly played on & signed 3 of my guitars. Said that he liked them but it felt like they were strung with rubber bands (.09 high E) & I tried to play his & told him that it felt like it was strung with suspension bridge steel cables! He conducted a mojo spell on my Tele Custom & drew a Mexican hex symbol on it after signing it Soul To Soul. When Jimmie saw what Stevie had drawn on it he told me that Stevie was into that Mexican voodoo shit & that he must have really liked you to have put that symbol on. You are correct in that he wasn't a tall man & we were both the same size. I had been dressing similar to him years before I'd ever heard of him & people used to think that I was him at shows & take photos & ask me to sign their show programs. I'd tell them that they have the wrong guy. Stevie thought it was funny & said that I was a good interference runner for him & said "You be UV Ray" He was such a funny guy & he genuinely cared for people who were struggling with addiction troubles. I take consolation in knowing that he left this world a happy man. He used to check in to hotels as Isa Newman after he cleaned up. Before he would sign in as Otto Moretone inspired by Jimmie saying "there oughtta be more tone." I hope that this lengthy response isn't deterring you from posting more informative analyze this & analyze that videos. Please do look up Fabulous Thunderbirds Full Time Lover to see Jimmie in superb blues form!! Cheers!
I just watched Fabulous Thunderbirds Full Time Lover. You know what I think is great? Jimmy introduced Stevie Ray as a better guitarist than me & Stevie Ray always said Jimmy was his idol. They had so much respect for each other's talent; there was no competition.
You reminded me of my dad’s navy buddy who looked just like Roy Clark and went to a Roy Clark concert and someone asked him for an autograph. He signed his name Roy Abel. lol
Jimmy gave that Wah Wah pedal to Stevie, and Jimmy is a great player not showy like Stevie,just a solid blues man.Stevie said I play 110% of what I can do Jimmy plays 20% of what he knows.
Jimmie is an avid hot rod car enthusiast/collector. Stevie used to tell me that he floors it when he plays & Jimmie cruises but ya better watch out when Jimmie peals out!! Jimmie still has the Hendrix wah wah pedal along with lots of Stevie's stuff.
That was incredible. Brothers were so talented and Jimmy is great.
Another great review and analysis! You hit everything on the mark. Living in Austin, Texas, we still get to see Jimmie Vaughn on weekends playing as part of The Mike Flanigan Trio with organist Mike Flanigan at C-Boys Club here in town.
So in sync with each other. Nice job. Wow. Thanks for pointing my spelling mistake out Mary. Cheers....
Sync
This is one of my very favorite videos. I love them both. Such sweet, humble and kind men. Brothers who loved & respected each other so much. Heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time🌹🌹
It's a credit to Jimmy's talent as a guitarist that he can't see a darn thing, back in the 80s I bought my first Fabulous Thunderbirds album, and Family Style too. Plus everything SRV of course, even on cassette. Loved seeing them together like this 🖤
Thanks Phil! You are a stud! I've been playing for 56 years. Wish we had you when I was young. You seem to nail every video. Thank you!
Both brothers had huge hands. This really touches my heart.❤❤❤
That is so cool...RIP Stevie....Rock on Fil!
I have never seen this video before. Thanks for reviewing.
You are so awesome!! I love all the insights you share with us. I have loved this video for a long time. Your insights have me a new appreciation of my favorite brothers!! Thank you!
Great vid Fil! I've seen this one quite a few times and never tire of it.
I Saw The Fabulous Thunderbirds in 1986 at Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View California. It was one of the best rock and roll shows I have ever seen or heard. I never knew why they couldn't keep going because I really had a good van. Thanks Fil! 🤘
I saw them open for Dr John and BB King. Another time playing with Blues Traveler and The ARC Angles. Not a disappointment in the bunch.
Cool!
Brotherly love i can see here. Wicked to see!!!
Helloooo Fil there! You're watching my favorite two guys, Stevie and Jimmie. This was an excellent example of two of the greatest Texas blues guitarists in perfect harmony that could only happen with the intuition of brothers. Thanks for the review. Keep them coming you are an excellent teacher. I've been watching guitarists for years, but I always learn so much from you, and I appreciate that!
Thanks Michelle!
Just amazing! Great analysis, both together outstanding. Thank you 👍
Just found you last night. Sad I haven’t found your videos earlier. I’m not a musician but love your analyst of all this great music!! Been watching all night.
In Summer of 1986 I saw these amazing musicians do this double neck guitar Performance when SRV band and Fabulous Thunderbirds played The Mann in Philadelphia PA
It is my number one concert experience.
Was also crushed when Stevie passed he is my GOAT!! Feel lucky I got see him perform a few times. So glad Jimmie plays out so much!
Thanks Fil!!
Thanks Fil two greats was fortunate to see both . Needless to say each was incredible
What a great piece! We still have some Fabulous Thunderbirds in our records collection. It's great to see the brothers together, and it was amazing how they played so close to each other, and I'm glad you pointed out the 3/4 scale neck!
Love your explanations. I dont play anything but you clear snd precise expert dialog helps me understand what's going on musically. Your the best.
SRV also did a duet of Pipeline with Dick Dale in the 1987 movie "Back to the Beach". The movie was a comedy tribute to the "Beach Party" movies of the 60s. Dick Dale actually appeared in several of the original films.
Thats hilarious! Never seen that but its so obvious it should have been done a million times
Thanks for sharing, I've never seen this performance before! Very cool 👍😎🤘
Thanks for analyzing this, Fil! A much beloved clip for Vaughan brother fanatics. #missyoueverydayStevie
Have had this on a bootleg for many many years. That whole show was on a Riverboat with the Fab Thunderbird et AL. WHATTA SHOW,!!!
Mesmerizing :-)
Nice job Fil!
Cool!
I was in Austin last December. Yes....I bought several Stevie Ray shirts and there is a statue of him on the walk path along the river. There were flowers next to it the day I was there and I saw several guitar picks. We went to several establishments and a few that Stevie had played in. Some names have changed.Our taxi driver was about 60 years old and he’s the one that told us where to go eat and which establishments we may like based on our musical taste that we shared with him.
Cool!
Ãh here it is Fil lve never seen ur analysis on SRV & Jimmie Brilliant! I knew SRV played on heavy 13' gauge strings, but to play on 17'gauge amazes me!! A huge loss while at his peak, BOTH brothers impeccable🎼🎸
Great footage Fil!
Another Keeper! Unbelievable!
SRV AGAIN , THE BEST EVER! I PLAY, I KNOW BUT ALWAYS ENJOY YOUR SUPERB COMMENTARY AND ABILITY TO COME UP WITH THESE GEMS!
Rock On!
Peace!!!
There is a Chet Atkins video where he plays a nylon string and performs Stars and Stripes Forever (a marching band tune) and at one point Chet is playing 3 melodies at once!
My Grandfather tried to teach how to play the guitar, but after 2 years, I could not get the fret work down. So, I really love watching those who can play the guitar, do so.
It seems that my talent lies with collecting useless information. :) Like the tidbit about Janis Joplin.
Another good video by Phil. Stevie has always reminded me of a white Jimi Hendrix with the way he plays.
Stevie was in awe of Jimi's talents, Jimi loved southern rock...
yet another troll and comparing stevie to a drugged out nasty ass perv, is it that hard to appreciate what you are seeing and hearing without trying to impress someone with your stupidity,
Oh They suck! Good Lord that is just awesome!!!! Just awesome 👏 😳😳 he always said his big brother was his first idol
I saw this tour live...Fabulous Thunderbirds opened and Jimmy came out and did this during Stevie's encore...those were the days!
Cool!
I have to say, for the last couple of weeks, I've been watching this particular performance any number of times since it is so amazing. I can't help but wonder how long it took the two of them to perfect this? It certainly wasn't overnight!
A fine analysis of two rockin brothers. A nice video with these guys. Had not seen this one before. That would have been quite the show to see. Really something!
Great find Fil ,,thanks
I LOVED the Fabulous Thunder Birds from the first time I saw them. Stevie Ray is known to say that his big brother knew more about the guitar than anyone else,
I am so glad with your analyses. I love this vídeo and I suggested it. Perfection. They are so good.
One of my favorite guitar clips!
Fil, I have a real treasure you will love. Its a video of Stevie simply called “Sound check”.
Yep, Stevie comes “strolling” in, cowboy hat, full length fur coat (in Texas) and cowboy boots. It’s obvious he’s just woke up. IT’S AMAZING. there are a few out there, the best one is about :23 minutes long. It’s a mini-concert and flawless, perfection. You would love it, whomever is videotaping it focuses a lot on his hands.
Yes I did that too!
Been out for a while, need to stroll through your videos. Thanks Fil.
It looks like Siamese Twins with 4 arms...Jimmie was in he band The Fabulous Thunderbirds ,,,Tough Enough was their big hit
Yeah, i loved that song!
NICE DAWG Hi there..yeah..and I bought two of FT's CDs...was listening to them on YT a few months ago
OH Yes and BACK iT UP I'll Take IT Great tunes
Wrap it up, a top 10 hit as well!! For the T-Birds.
I went to a John Prine concert in 1980 and the Fabulous Thunderbirds opened for him. They blew my socks off. I have been a fan of Jimmy ever since.
Cool!
That is MUCH harder than it looks. What fantastic players these guys were. Editing one of my own videoes just now and stopped by to see what you are up to this week. Mind blown
Thanks!
Thanx, Fil, for that incredible performance on a double-neck guitar with brothers Stevie Ray & Jimmie Vaughan. Simply Amazing! "Keep on Rockin' in The Free World..."
Oh, my! Oh, my! On what a great century I was born! Happy to see an hear this!
👍
Very cool, amazing they could play together like that!
Thanks for the additional info about Jimmy too. Very interesting.
I saw them play this together at Milwaukee summer fest , when the T- birds warmed up for SRV .
Some of the comments make it sound as if Stevie and Jimmie weren't that close. I don't believe it. I see a lot of brotherly love here.
Close but fraught with issues. They were getting it together around Family Style then Stevie died taking a seat meant for Jimmie. It's no wonder he quit playing outside of Austin for four years after Stevie died. Jimmie says openly, now, he never got over Stevie's death.
The last year alive Stevie toured with Buddy Guy, Joe Cocker & asked Jimmie to go with him. Then afterward they set time to work on Family Style. During that time Stevie let Jimmie know it hurt not having him around at home growing up. They cleared the air & decided to spended more time together. Unfortunately, they just weren't given much time. Don't take loved ones for granted.
BEAUTIFUL I JUST WANT TO CRY
Priceless!!! Unfreakingbelievable!! Top players at their game ever. Thanks for the analysis, wish I was there live to see this! Fil on the side note, the Fabulous T-birds had a single in 1988 in the movie Cocktail with Tom Cruise, called Powerful stuff, it did well here in the US, definetly was my favorite track on that soundtrack. The biggest hit from there were the Beach Boys' Kokomo and Big mountain's version of Baby I love your way from Peter Frampton. Very cool soundtrack. Great clip!!!
Loved Jimmie's drop D tuning on Powerful Stuff. A killer riff!!!
Man, all hail The Mighty Fil! You are a machine!
Thank you for all of wonderful content.
I think your fans would understand if you had a night to yourself, wouldn’t we everyone?
Peace. JR
I actually saw this at one of stevie's gigs. Dallas. Mid 80s or so. It brought down the house!!. Waaaaay cool. I really enjoy your interesting and intelligent commentaries. Not just on this but on all the clips you review. Please dont stop making these videos. It's one of the few things of any merit on here. As always...YOU. TOTALLY. ROCK!!!
Cool! Thanks!
Often when I see video of SRV, I get a tear in my eye. I was at Alpine Valley Wisc. the night he died, so it is very sad to watch sometimes. I got to see Jimmy and the Fabulous thunderbirds twice when he was touring as the opening act for Double trouble. He was good, but was so overshadowed by the genius of SRV that I never appreciated his more traditional blues playing. A very talented family!
The band still plays.. I saw them when they came to Mississippi.. Great group!! ❤️Tennessee
Jimmie was Stevie's role model growing up being Stevie's older brother. I knew about Jimmie with The Fabulous Thunderbirds way before I ever heard of Stevie or ever seen him play. The world lost a guitar legend😢 RIP SRV
I enjoy watching reaction videos by younger generations who are discovering my favorite music, but most of those reactions are also clueless about the artist and/or their music. As a Vaughan brothers admirer and non-musician, I appreciate your thoughtful and knowledgeable reactions to SRV’s playing. I especially appreciate your giving Jimmie some love too, bc you’re correct that he’s lesser known among some-not all-fans, and you’re correct that he had a profound influence on Stevie when they were growing up.
Hey Fil. I love going through your older videos. I got to see Jimmie and Stevie do this at several shows. They would start with different songs, but always end with Pipeline. Got to see The Fabulous Thunderbirds open for ZZ Top and the Rolling Stones. Great show. ROCK!!
Great Fil. You are so good at this! I’ve seen Jimmie at a live performance but I never got a chance to see Stevie at a concert. Darn. Unbelievable brothers!!!
Thanks Thomas!
I was having breakfast in a restaurant in Claremont, Ca. about five years ago, when I recognized Jimmie at the buffet line. I said, "You look like a guitar player named Jimmie." (Claver me) He said, "That's me." After I returned to my table, he stopped by for a short chat. He was in town to go to a big collector car event in Pomona. At his table were a half dozen women. Looked like maybe his wife, daughters (s) and grand children. He was the nicest down to earth unassuming guy. I was impressed. Living in Southern California, you would think that you would run into celebrities and entertainers quite often. Not really. Ten million people in the Los Angeles area. It's pretty rare.
It was nice. There are enough Botox faced 70 year old has beens around here with a pocket full of Viagra and a 25 year old girlfriend headed for rehab...again.
Perfect video...sad we lost Stevie just imagine the sounds that Would be out there....rock on brother✌
Can’t believe I’ve never seen this. Thank you
Awesome, Awesome, Awesome, Awesome....!! Stevie and Jimmie are so good it’s just ridiculous! Stevie Ray would have to be one of my all time favourite guitarist...man could he play! And Jimmie another iconic guitarist....I have all the Fabulous Thunderbird albums and still listen to them today! I saw Stevie Ray live in Melbourne in the early 80s...Wow what a concert that was, he played his absolute ar#se off! Another brilliant analysis Fil! Cheers Mario!😎🤘🤘
Thanks Mario!
Beautiful.
Thanks for this analysis Fil 😊🤘Rock xx
Never knew this existed. Way over awesome, unforgettable!!!!
What a fantastic storyline with this presentation !!!! Thanks to you, Fil, I have a whole new feeling for BOTH Vaughn’s---so sad we lost one of the brothers, Stevie due to a helicopter crash !!!! But older brother, Jimmie still rocks !!!!
OMG I thought I had seen all SRV videos but I missed this... AWESOME... thank you! Your analysis was very helpful..Jimmie was always underrated..
Two masters on the same guitar they played so great
Wow. Just wow.
Thanks for another Great Vaughan analysis Fil. Weird seeing Jimmie Ray in the title lol...
Stevie has so much incredible live footage out there. One of my favs is the second solo on Couldn't Stand the Weather at ACL!
Or... Leave My Girl Alone! That's some scary good stuff. Or, Mary Had a Little Lamb, or... Superstition, or... ok I'll stop.
Saw them do this live in Melbourne as the Fabulous Thunderbirds were the support band. Great Memory.
Cool!
