I was there. I was standing right in front of Tommy Shannon's bass rig. I think they did 3 songs. My father was the director of this telethon. Stevie and him became friends when Stevie taped the TV show he did with Albert King. They played and recorded for about 6 hours but it was edited down for the tv show. My dad knew Stevie was in town the night of the telethon. I believe he played Thompson Hall. My dad called him up and asked if he would play the telethon after the gig. Stevie said yes and did it for free. Long live Stevie!

Stevie Also Had A Soul & Spirit Like No Other - Unforgettable! Not To Mention His Professional & Creative Drive, Talent & "Stevie Style!"

@@darrensachs7702 These Guys Were SO AWESOME Together! And Stevie Was @ His BEST EVERY SHOW!...Even Those When He Was Fresh Out Of Rehab & DETOXING🤮.... Bless Your Heart, Stevie! I MISS YOU!! Soul💞Soul💗😘
Stevie did Hendrix's, better than Hendrix did Hendrix. I think he showed respect to every single song in his performance's. SRV was a master guitarist and singer!
Was lucky enough to see him live a couple of times when he played in Seattle. First time in 1984, I was 17, and to say he made an impression is an understatement. The second time was about a month before he died… he played The Gorge Amphitheater (Touring with Joe Cocker), and he dedicated this song to the sunset behind the stage and played it BEHIND HIS BACK. Badassery at its finest.
Imagine, you walk into a Telethon thinking you're there to support the cause not knowing the entertainment lineup then this guy walks out and starts playing like this with his great band. You're saying What the! Some people were very lucky, I hope they realized it then and now how lucky they were !
Also, what a GREAT rhythm section!!! Johnny Winter’s old crew. They were the final pieces of the puzzle that cemented SRV’s sound, IMO. They just drive and drive and drive, laying down the canvas for his guitar work. BTW, that’s a DAMN GOOD vocal performance, too. He’s never sounded better. RIP, SRV.
😂😂 Hold Up... this ain't loud enough, let me fix it.. He had every amp in the state of Texas turned up to you ain't gonna hear nothing for the next 3 days.. level 😂
God DAMN that's fierce!! Will there ever be anyone this cool again? Stevie pulling out all the stops, knowing the spotlight is on him. Like a great, clutch hitter in the playoffs at the bottom of the 9th. It's such a gift that he had the sensitivity to have a true awareness of mortality because clearly he played like tonight might be his last.
A genuine legend at his best..and that's no other then Stevie Ray Vaughan...blue 's and rock n roll..bring it on..Great performance on stage and the band is terrific ..Jimi Hendrix would be PROUD! R u with me?
Stevie & Jimi Were ALWAYS In Contact When Stevie Was Playing! NOBODY Loved Jimi More Than Stevie Ray! Some People Said That Stevie "Channeled" Jimi - But He Was Already 15 When Jimi Died...I'm Sure They Jam All Time Now, Though...!🎸
Listen to Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble..the legend Stevie Ray Vaughan is putting out sound that is amazing and sensational..never be another rock n roll and blue's guitar player as Stevie Ray Vaughan on a stage again..Gid only had one mold for Stevie Ray Vaughan and your looking at him..RIP Stevie..your the unforgettable guitar legend we all grew to love in our own time..you r missed..
It's not a telethon; it's a rock that axeathon. And the donation calls are going through the roof. it's not a telethon; it's a rock n' roll revival. And the kids are cured. Everyone can go home.
What another absolute gem of a find!!! Thankyou for uploading 🙏 The GOAT ....one of my fav performance of Voodoo Chile by SRV I think...until someother video pops up lol 🥰😛 What a f.....kin LEGEND 🔥🔥🔥⚡⚡⚡
OMG!!! I am an SRV junkie and I think I had my fix for the next 90 days. That was for me the best I've seen my idol set that song on fire. Thank you sooooo much for posting this video. God Bless you, and PIP (Play in Peace) Stevie...
Imagine phoning in a pledge and hearing Stevie in the background.I wonder if the people taking calls could even hear who was on the phone!May as well go on break and watch Stevie!!Thanks for posting!
So very AWESOME! Thanks so much for posting this! Much needed to see as of only a few days ago marked SRV's 22 yrs. since he passed. Again, thanks for making my heart less 'heavy'.
Has to be one of my favorite performances of VC. So insanely fluid and badass and crazy impressive considering it’s 1985 and Stevie was probably totally wasted.
You are welcome. Yes..22 years since we lost him. :( I am glad this video made you feel a bit better. :) I will always wonder what great music he would have made if that accident didn't happen.
Anybody else ever wonder if the guy who owned Stevie's #1 before Stevie...if that guy ever realized what that guitar went and did with SRV as it's master?
Chris Cross had no idea what became of the guitar until someone told him. (If I'm not incorrect, it was after Stevie passed.) He was very humbled by the story & felt honored to have owned an iconic piece of history before Stevie made it famous.
The people on the first 10 rows still can not hear Love it but Charlie Daniels ruin my hearing sitting 10 feet away from the speaker. I ain’t complaining I will do it again

I was there also
Stevie Ray and Double Trouble played at the Civic in Oshawa that night then came to this gig straight away.
@@darrensachs7702 These Guys Were SO AWESOME Together! And Stevie Was @ His BEST EVERY SHOW!...Even Those When He Was Fresh Out Of Rehab & DETOXING🤮.... Bless Your Heart, Stevie! I MISS YOU!! Soul💞Soul💗😘
If this was televised today, I’d pledge my entire pay check.
And I would match your paycheck my friend.
Stevie did Hendrix's, better than Hendrix did Hendrix. I think he showed respect to every single song in his performance's. SRV was a master guitarist and singer!
Sometimes the brightest star burn out the fastest.... At least we are blessed with recordings and old videos of a guitar master.... RIP SRV....

Badassery at its finest.
I was standing in front of the stage for this show. One of the greatest moments of my musical life.
I envy you..
you lucky sod !
Was it as loud as they his concerts were?
Where was this?
@@SuperKomedyKingAn old roller skating place called the Terrace . Toronto.
This version has got a real funky sound. Steve really kicks ass. Nobody will be ever be better.
Imagine, you walk into a Telethon thinking you're there to support the cause not knowing the entertainment lineup then this guy walks out and starts playing like this with his great band. You're saying What the! Some people were very lucky, I hope they realized it then and now how lucky they were !
Little did the folks on the front row know they were gonna have their faces melted off when Stevie cranked up Hendrix!
Also, what a GREAT rhythm section!!! Johnny Winter’s old crew. They were the final pieces of the puzzle that cemented SRV’s sound, IMO. They just drive and drive and drive, laying down the canvas for his guitar work. BTW, that’s a DAMN GOOD vocal performance, too. He’s never sounded better. RIP, SRV.
Anyone notice that slick foot shuffle walk at 0:43 when he goes to adjust his amp? So cool haha 😂
😂😂
Hold Up... this ain't loud enough, let me fix it..
He had every amp in the state of Texas turned up to you ain't gonna hear nothing for the next 3 days.. level 😂
Stevie Always Had Him Some Cool Moves!😎
I call that the SRV Boot Scooter (Scooter being one of his early nick names)
I also love his over shoulder guitar pidgeon toed, hip wigglin' Love Struck Baby dance!
He was too hot and too cool. Love and miss me some Stevie Ray Vaughan. (December 31, 2024) ❤❤❤❤❤
SRV = The God of Guitar 🎸

Amazing,he never loses focus

10:07 - Stevie slides #1 across the floor!
Stevie was such a bad ass!
Stevie's still a badass
This is rare..and like said, 4 amps burnin red hot at vol 11!!!haahaaa! ..no compromise!!..thats the wayto play this...

5:18
Nastiest slide I've ever seen someone do on a guitar
And of course it's SRV!!!
But it always performs beautifully in the hands of the Master.
Stevie Liked To Play It "Intimate" With Number 1...!🔥🔥🔥
Man even in the video it sounds LOUD. Cant imagine how it must have been to actually be there.
It's not a telethon; it's a rock that axeathon. And the donation calls are going through the roof. it's not a telethon; it's a rock n' roll revival. And the kids are cured. Everyone can go home.
Wow, Stevie, you are absolutely incredible. You live forever
What another absolute gem of a find!!! Thankyou for uploading 🙏 The GOAT ....one of my fav performance of Voodoo Chile by SRV I think...until someother video pops up lol 🥰😛 What a f.....kin LEGEND 🔥🔥🔥⚡⚡⚡
its such a shame that he is not annymore among us when i hear him playing he give me the schils he was the best and he is the best
22 Years today since we lost Stevie Ray Vaughan. August 27, 1990 :(
I think this was his best stage. He looked great here. This video is amazing. Happy birthday Stevie. You'll always be my number 1 :)
Man, I was Easter seals poster child 1990 in Michigan... wish stevie was around for THAT ONE!!! what a performance!! unbelievable!!
OMG!!! I am an SRV junkie and I think I had my fix for the next 90 days. That was for me the best I've seen my idol set that song on fire. Thank you sooooo much for posting this video. God Bless you, and PIP (Play in Peace) Stevie...
Stevie Ray Vaughan
G.O.A.T
R.I.P
Yes...SRV rocks!...no doubt about it. He plays with his heart! He is the real deal.
Imagine phoning in a pledge and hearing Stevie in the background.I wonder if the people taking calls could even hear who was on the phone!May as well go on break and watch Stevie!!Thanks for posting!
My goodness this man rocks.
One from The Master, by A Master! RIP SRV
❤❤❤
Thanks so so much for the full version of this song!
Stevie, you was the guy! R.I.P
more rare footage of stevie. I wish I could meet him.
So very AWESOME! Thanks so much for posting this! Much needed to see as of only a few days ago marked SRV's 22 yrs. since he passed. Again, thanks for making my heart less 'heavy'.
WHAT A GEM!!
¡Una aplanadora SRV! ♡
this is a bad ass video ive never seen this before im loving this thank you for the post
I'm not sure if any rendition will top his performance in Live at The El Mocambo, but this one's in the top 3.
el mocambo voodoo child was not one of his best
@@bensblues I have to agree with you on that. Its definitely good. But I have 10 other better VC versions i can think of.
Austin City limits 89 and Alpine valley last show are top 2.
Has to be one of my favorite performances of VC. So insanely fluid and badass and crazy impressive considering it’s 1985 and Stevie was probably totally wasted.
definitely, not probably haha
He is crazy impressive and crazy impressive that he had the mettle to get sober. Let's give credit where all credit is due.
And he still managed to play with such an impressive touch being totally wasted. Wasted or not incredible
You are welcome. Yes..22 years since we lost him. :( I am glad this video made you feel a bit better. :) I will always wonder what great music he would have made if that accident didn't happen.
I’ve been playing 66 years out and about, this is always amazing.
Toronto, I remember seeing this about 3AM. Dynamite!!!
if hendrix see this video he will never play the guitar again LOL
I think that was his best Voo Doo!
Super!
from 7.10 it just takes off into the STRAT o sphere!!
exciting performance
Anybody else ever wonder if the guy who owned Stevie's #1 before Stevie...if that guy ever realized what that guitar went and did with SRV as it's master?
Christopher cross owned that guitar before stevie.
It ain't the guitar
Chris Cross had no idea what became of the guitar until someone told him. (If I'm not incorrect, it was after Stevie passed.) He was very humbled by the story & felt honored to have owned an iconic piece of history before Stevie made it famous.
Look at the some of the people after the host walks of, it's like 'please save us' 😂
You are welcome....yes he set that song on fire...He even did it Jimi Hendrix style..(behind the back)..SRV loved Jimi Hendrix guitar playing.
@srvOhio thanks for posting
thanks
The devil sold his soul to Stevie Ray Freakin Vaughan
Cool
0:41 Stevie busting the sideways moonwalk
Thanks for the info, Great Channel by the way!!

The people on the first 10 rows still can not hear Love it but Charlie Daniels ruin my hearing sitting 10 feet away from the speaker. I ain’t complaining I will do it again
7:43
he was no Jimi Hendrix but close enough
@midland88 J. M . H. inspired S.R.V. !
@1i1feat on the video123.nl are standing 121 vids of the god of blues
Where was this filmed ?
jhnstn1 toronto canada the terrace roller skating rink! for a telethon for easter seals.
Tsssk, Justin Bieber can do that standing on his head! :-)
it sounded like he missed a note at 8 57 or so
he didnt miss the note, just got it muted by his jacket... thats the thing about playing behind your back
Destroyed it !
u know he died, right?
Stevie Ray Vaughan is not dead, good buddy. He just went home.
