This was Albert Collins song "Thaw Out" , then renamed by Hendrix cause he loved it soo much....obviously SRV knew this and got to listen and practice to both of their styles and copy signature licks and feel then added his natural style to it. Just an instrumental that gets played differently by many guitarists. Just saying incase some don't know this . Peace & Blues
Hendrix's one is the best! NO debat! And, here, you can, clearly, hear the LIMITS of a guy like Steve Ray Vaughan! All the songs he's playing, are sounding, exactly, the same, even the cover songs! Always, the same phrases, sounds, etc.... When Jimi played ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER, even, a genius like Dylan, said, it was Jimi's song, since that moment, not his song anymore, and after, Dylan played that song with the Jimi's version, not his own! Steve Ray was a great guitarist, but, no creativity, it's always the same! It makes me laugh when i hear peoples saying Steve is the greatest guitarist!😅🫣🤮Please, be serious! Listen to that, you will realize the limits of that guy! He's, just, playing the Jimi's version, with a blues tempo, and playing the same solo's phrases as always! It's ridiculous!
What a treat. Pure genius. Too bad so many people keep trying to make comparisons between Jimi and Stevie. Not everything in life is about wearing a crown or being the best, or number 1. Jimi and Stevie were priceless gems...They have nothing to prove they don't need to be placed in some sort of order.We just need to be thankful these guys left us with such a vast array of beautiful music.
everytime I listen to great rock and/or blues guitar players I am never moved like I am with this guy............there is just something about his playing that moves me like no other player does...........
Exactly. His pl@ying and singing command our attention. He is a force to be recond with. Hes one of a kind. Just like Scott Hall there will never be another stievie. The night he passed that wasn’t supposed to happen.
The more live Stevie I listen to and watch on TH-cam, the more I'm beginning to think that Stevie wasn't human. No mortal man has ever played with as much intensity and power than Stevie.
Have you heard Jimi Hendrix's & Band of Gypsys version of Machine Gun? Hendrix wrote the book on intensity ! - SRV copies a lot of his licks & playing style on this song here. I know SRV would say the same if he were here today.
He copies a lot, but he also puts a lot of his own spin on things. That's really the whole point of carrying the torch that Jimi passed, is it not? That's how the genre evolves.
I call them aliens........Steve Vai and a few others are the same way.......they just arrive on Earth understanding more about how guitar music goes together than most will ever understand. ....they are prodigies.....they have no gap between what is in their mind and what their hands can play......
This Is my favorite version of Drivin South, starting with the nastiest Funk to Scorching Blues - shifting speeds, keys and tone. - with out skipping a beat or wasting one single note ------ And those bends of 13 gauge steel - my lord!
the best guitarist since Hendrix and the only one with enough balls to actually play his music the way Hendrix would have wanted it to be played. I still prefer Jimi's version on the "Radio One" CD but this is kickin'!
@@deathwarmedup73 Randy Hansen while an amazing guitarist, isn't his own guitar player. He is by far the best cover musician I've seem but in terms of originality there's not much
Deep, Dangerous- Insired, Introspective - Painfully Expressive... Genuine- Simply Divine.. Words Pale for Expression There will never be another- Thank you for everything you gave us Stevie..
What an absolute FREAK of brilliant nature this man was... No one can EVER take awa y SRV's unique tone and soul. There's Hendrix IN there, but it's so unique too. RIP SRV X
I think Jimi would have loved this,someone like Stevie playing his music with such feeling and compassion. Can you imagine them jamming together. OMG they would have sounded so good together. I'm sure Jimi would have covered some of Stevie's music also. So sad the world never got to hear it.
I think they’re probably jamming together now along with the Kings, Albert Collins, Hubert Sumlin, Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf and Jeff Healey and many more! I sure hope we’re able to see them when it’s our time to go!
Why must there always be a SRV was better than Jimi or vice versa? I love both of them along with Trower, Rory, and others that played with their whole heart and soul. I love what each and everyone brought to the table.
SRV was the absolute king of everything on guitar. His solos, rhythm playing, tone, vibrato, bending, phrasing, he was just on fire in every area as a guitarist.
My favorite thing ever said about Vaughan was by some metal player.." He is' nt going to come out and say it, BUT when he is playing behind his back and behind his head, he is saying that he is the man.....And HE IS THE MAN!" And he proves it like always again here.
I literally heard a riff that i have never heard before and He only played it for a moment. You guys should just accept that the top of the mountain is shared by Jimi and Stevie Ray, no one else can play like them ... No one
If anyone who knew anything about this style of music heard this for the first time, I doubt it would take them long to realize it's SRV. Sure, it's a cover, even a cover of a cover. But it's his. It's obviously his. And it's badass. Thanks for sharing.
Oh my lord, I never knew SRV covered Driving South. I'm almost bored with using superlatives these days. So just thanks for sharing, all, from my soul, ok.
there's good playing, and there's great playing, and then there's this: Phrasing that makes the best electric guitarists who ever lived say "god damn that boy can play"
Epic yet compact at the same time. More a thrill-seeking journey than a jam. Not a single note wasted while SRV takes on a number of different key changes and veers the song into uncharted territory without diminishing the original intent of the song and making them his own. And, most importantly, without going overboard or being overblown with it. Stevie's musical intellect, as well as his acute instincts, were always sharp in avoiding the obvious. Tho the King's Head version from 1980 (with Jackie Newhouse on bass) is spectacular in its own right, the Fitzgerald's version (personally speaking) puts the former to shame on a number of levels in terms of suspenseful adventurousness and intense, spontaneous risk-taking while responding to the moment.
Go Stevie! Sounds awesome. I'd love to watch this man perform live, now. Not just for myself, but for all SRV fans. Especially if you've never seen him live (like me), I'd gladly be 20 years older right now, to hear Stevie play on stage, pouring sweat, and smiling. Just once.
Exactly. What a gift given to us, unfortunately, tragically, in a very short period. On top of that, from what I've heard, a very humble and generous individual as well. The guy was getting his life in a great spot when he passed. He'd be the kind of person you'd want as a neighbor. And, who cares if he was loud! I'd keep the windows open during a blizzard to hear him practice.
The Rykodisc Radio One version of this is one of the most exciting performances ever recorded by Jimi Hendrix. I missed seeing Stevie Ray live because his show was the same night that I had to play at the hotel where he was staying.
LOVE this version. I added it to our favorites and I keep going back to it over and over and over... SRV, by far, is among the greatest guitar slingers IMHO. :-) Thank you 928CS for posting this audio. 5 stars all the way.
Whatta fucking king this cat was. Rip srv. This performance is a fuckin jam too. I don't do favorites. I like jimi's version and srv's equally. They both deserve to be resurrected from the dead so they can play some more shows mayne. And I wouldn't mind paying for tht ticket with an arm or a leg (literally) lol
Got to love it when Stevie went into Hendrix mode. About the only time he does it better was in 86 and 87 when he used the limited strat that they made like 10 of. Stevie killed the $hit out of that guitar...nevermind it's Stevie, I don't expect anything other than the best from him, especially when he's covering Hendrix. It's a shame that no one is left that has the same feel and passion for the guitar that Stevie and Hendrix both had for the guitar. Thanks for the upload!!!!!
every time I listen to this I cant help but grab my strat and wail away..SRV at his best!! this jam is dripping some madd mojo..Happy Birthday Mr.SRV..RIP mah strat brutha!
being from houston i got to see stevie 8or 10 times before he wentbig,once at a club called rockefellers i saw john lee hookerrobert cray andstevie on stage atonce
Both Jimi and Stevie did a great job on this song. Each has their own playing style. Each was taken WAY TOO EARLY in life. I only wish I could have had more music from them both. Both were amazing guitarists.
First time hearing this OMG! Where does it all come from? Yeah Guy Incognito he is an alien. There's an unidentified planet up there missing their beloved as much as we do. They beamed down this gift to us and he was lost. How, how in the hell does all that come outta one being? My tiny mind implodes to imagine what we'd have experienced through these SRV-less years. Wish we cud have him back again.😢 Always in our hearts.☮️😀
all these jimi vs. srv comments are pointless. its all subjective. plus they both got albert kings style. man though stevies tone on this is over the top. why cant my mexican strat and peavy amp sound like that. hahaha
i never got to see jimi,but i saw stevie twice,1985,and 89 with jeff beck. stevie ray changed my life,got me deep into the blues and that path led me to loving hendrix,but i think jimi and stevie cut from similar,but different cloth. thank god for the both of them! long live rock and the blues!
Why did the comment saying Jimi's had more groove have 5 thumbs down? He's right. Jimi had more of a groove. Jimi's was way more chill and laid back. Stevie's is aggressive and powerful, and Jimi's is relaxed and groovy. Totally different vibes of an insane song.
Yes this is SRV. I havethis CD it is a live show at Fitzgeralds in Houston, TX 1983. He played 2 shows that night. It was the TEXAS Flood Album release party. Great show. I got the CD from tradng.Both shows are great.
+Edmund Andreski Sometimes SRV would use 3 #12s or 3 13s for EB&G so they would stay in tune together more than a 13,11 & a 9. I worked at TVMC Madhouse on McDowell (The Coliseum) back in the 1980s, and helped a lot of the bands set up, rig speaker & lighting racks, run cables along the catwalks, balance the electric loads, set up lighting, raise & lower the ceiling tiles, aim the mirrors for the lasers, etc. SRV played two or three Arizona State Fair shows there, free with price of fair admission, and I worked there, kinda free kinda not. He also played there with Jeff Beck. He was still using the Vibrolux with the Showman transformer in 1981 (82?), and changed to a splitter out the back of the Fender straight into a Dumble the next year. Some little speed freak turd kid ripped off the Fender amps one year, and those floated around Phoenix for a few years. The houses by the VIP/service entrance to the Coliseum had & still have some sketchy occupants in them. You get in off a side street, and come into the Coliseum's service entrance on the east side of the building. A big thing back in the 70s & 80, was for the musicians to head up to Prescott & play The Birdcage Saloon, un-announced after their regular shows in Phoenix. SRV, Springsteen, Throrogood, Jeff Beck, Joe Perry, Slash, etc. Prescott is all yuppied out now, the cocaine is not the same and the attraction is kind of gone for doing that. I watched Ricthie Blackmore have a little tantrum while Bon Jovi was opening for Deep Purple's Perfect Strangers show. Richie Sambora was just on fire that night. Setting up for Ronnie James Dio was pretty involved. They had 1000s of lighting effects & the mechanical dragon. I went down & helped set up their Tucson show for them.
Como sempre, os comentários idiotas sobre quem é melhor guitarrista, Jimi Hendrix ou SRV. Não interessa quem é melhor. Os dois eram supremos e se foram. O único legado que deixaram foi o seu trabalho, para ser admirado e inspirar novos músicos a seguir seus passos. Isso que se vê é discussãozinha de Tietes. A propósito, essa versão do SRV é algo de sensacional...
Jeff Beck was once asked why he didn't learn to play music on the piano instead of the guitar.............and he said because the piano didn't have that twang......... This jam defines what Jeff meant to me................. Damn..........SRV's touch on strings and what he does to them is magic............
@hesmon I personally find SRV to be much more expressive than Jimi.Technicaly and tonaly,Hendrix is an icon (hats off),but sorry my friend,after 25y of guitar playing I honestly think so.
we went to my dads last night listened to jimi radio one heard jimi playing this song me and my dad are wow i hear stevie all thru it or what stevie would later do and i see this video of him doin it my dads gonna freak because both of us said the same thing at the same i wonder if stevie ever did this song thank you for posting this awesome
this is what the electric guitar was meant to sound and be played like...............still has that ringing clean harmonics but all the balls from the overdriven attack that you can't get from an acoustic.........
I think you are right but it is not a sin to compare them. They both had a physical and God gifted ability to play the guitar. But it is great to hear Jimi's R&B influence and Stevie's Texas influence on the same song. It is a shame Jimi did not live to be able jam with Stevie...cause it would have happened> I guess we have to wait and hope to get a good seat in that big concert up in the sky :)
A man so talented he can cover Hendrix at the brain melting level. And it’s a only a small percentage of his whole bag.
This was Albert Collins song "Thaw Out" , then renamed by Hendrix cause he loved it soo much....obviously SRV knew this and got to listen and practice to both of their styles and copy signature licks and feel then added his natural style to it.

This is mindblowing. The best rock-blues guitarist by far.
All that bull about who beats who.Good music is good music,Period!
Henrix and Stevie. Had everything. Tone,voice master of the frets.
Ferocious and flawless. There will never be another.
SRV was the absolute king of everything on guitar. His solos, rhythm playing, tone, vibrato, bending, phrasing, he was just on fire in every area as a guitarist.
Best vibrato ever. Untouchable.
MY GOD (jaw dropped) this is extroardinary!! never heard this before. God i miss him!!
It's easy to forget, today more than ever, that true music is just a person with a piece of wood in their hands and whole lotta hearth and soul.
what if I told you Hendrix and SRV are 2 different guitarist that do not to be compared, both are equal, both are fantastic....

I saw Stevie live in London a couple of times 1987-89, he was my generation's Jimi Hendrix.
Epic yet compact at the same time. More a thrill-seeking journey than a jam. Not a single note wasted while SRV takes on a number of different key changes and veers the song into uncharted territory without diminishing the original intent of the song and making them his own. And, most importantly, without going overboard or being overblown with it. Stevie's musical intellect, as well as his acute instincts, were always sharp in avoiding the obvious.
Tho the King's Head version from 1980 (with Jackie Newhouse on bass) is spectacular in its own right, the Fitzgerald's version (personally speaking) puts the former to shame on a number of levels in terms of suspenseful adventurousness and intense, spontaneous risk-taking while responding to the moment.

Jeff Beck was once asked why he didn't learn to play music on the piano instead of the guitar.............and he said because the piano didn't have that twang.........
This jam defines what Jeff meant to me.................
Damn..........SRV's touch on strings and what he does to them is magic............
Maybe,Ritchie Blackmore doesn't.
But Stevie is the best ever.
What a loss,what a loss.
Thx for this. I love it.Love everything about Stevie....R.I.P!!
thanks for posting this !
long live srv...
his tone was unbelievable on this !
@hesmon
I personally find SRV to be much more expressive than Jimi.Technicaly and tonaly,Hendrix is an icon (hats off),but sorry my friend,after 25y of guitar playing I honestly think so.
Next Level
i can only imagine the visual show ...stevie doing guitar gymnastics...god bless all that are graced bye SRV
we went to my dads last night listened to jimi radio one heard jimi playing this song me and my dad are wow i hear stevie all thru it or what stevie would later do and i see this video of him doin it my dads gonna freak because both of us said the same thing at the same i wonder if stevie ever did this song thank you for posting this awesome
OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH MMMMYYYYYY GAAAAAHHHHDDDDD
Never saw live video of SRV playing this beauty....Smokin.
this is what the electric guitar was meant to sound and be played like...............still has that ringing clean harmonics but all the balls from the overdriven attack that you can't get from an acoustic.........
If Vaughan's not the finest electric guitarist that ever lived, it had better be a damned short list before we get to his name. _That_ was ferocious.
great song. i love srv, and that baseline is killer
This is exceptional from the master.
Stevie was the best and he will always be!!!!!!!!
I think you are right but it is not a sin to compare them. They both had a physical and God gifted ability to play the guitar. But it is great to hear Jimi's R&B influence and Stevie's Texas influence on the same song. It is a shame Jimi did not live to be able jam with Stevie...cause it would have happened> I guess we have to wait and hope to get a good seat in that big concert up in the sky :)
Greatest blues/rock guitar tone and solo I've ever heard.......bar none.......
Such Raw Power! Such a Heavy sound!!
Thanks for posting! Go Stevie Ray!!!!
One of the best guitarist, PERIOD!
GOOOOOOOOSAAAAAAALLLL!
