‘Till I heard Stevie .. I tried to play a lot of great guitar players.. after the 1983 ..and his music started to conquer Italian Radio .. I dedicated all my listening and playing guitar to Him ! ❤
How cool, and I love the liner notes. I traded thousands of live cassettes and cdr's of artists years ago, and it was all about hearing treasures just like this!
Stevie earned and deserves every bit of his tremendous Legacy. the term Forever missed' has been so often said, but I'll say it again anyway. Thanks so much for this and for the background.
That's my Texas Special big brother!!🎸same love, guitar, same place of birth,Texas, same guitar player love I am the happiest man in the world when am playing my guitars,my strats Gibby's,Deans , Jacksons !! see you on the other side Stevie!!, When I die and I won't be late!!, Meanwhile I will kiss the Sky!!!🎸
WOW!! Phenomenal find here . After being a SRV fan for over half my life now ( I’m 62-1/2 years old) I pretty much thought I had heard just about all of his published & unpublished music ( bootlegs and stuff ) and then along comes this . Thanks for sharing both the Audio and the article about him that was a reminder of how much conflict theres been about Him and the Departed David Bowie . Just maybe if there is a “ Here-after “ they have had a chance to meet up again and get things settled .
Oh , I’d like to add 2 more things here in comments section , first I was extremely fortunate to see him play live here in San Diego in late ‘83 at SDSU’s Montezuma Hall With a few hundred or so others , and instantly became a lifelong fan , and Second I just read your intro to this post & I have to say you got a HUGE bargain for your $20 !! 👍. Again thanks for sharing & you now have one more subscriber. 😊
Blessed to have seen him over a dozen times. One was at Darien lake. Show was canceled due to weather. He stuck it out and played the next Night. But while there after the show was cancelled he and the guys came out and just tore it up for a couple song’s maybe for a sound check or something. We couldn’t see in over the wall. Just lots of Great memories of seeing his shows…
if the manager threw this tape together, imagine what recordings the manager would have....he probably just hand selected this Dirty Pool recording from a tape of the whole show to suit the venue...wheres the rest of the whole nite!
I've often thought the same thing myself. And I often wonder why Jimmie has stopped releasing Stevie's archive stuff. He seems more interested in reminding people that Stevie was his brother than in keeping his legacy alive. It could be that he doesn't want to exploit Stevie's legacy (think the Estate of Jimi Hendrix), but if you're reading this Jimmie, there is a middle ground. A lot of people are waiting for new (previously unreleased) material.
I don't like to rate guitarists, music is subjective. Stevie took what Hendrix did and built on it and made it his own. Stevie wouldn't have been the guitarist he became without Hendrix. Hendrix was inspired to go 'heavy' by Cream and Ritchie Blackmore - Hendrix loved Blackmore's wild soloing on the Outlaws 'Keep a knockin' from 1963, recognised as being the first 'heavy' guitar solo. Led Zeppelin inspired Deep Purple to go heavy on 'in Rock' after three albums of pop music, after Blackmore heard 'Whole Lotta Love'. They all inspired each other, built on each other's sounds and created their own identities. My personal favourite guitarists are and always have been Stevie and Ritchie Blackmore. There are a lot of other guitarists I like too, but those two were always the 'otherworldly' guitarists for me.
@@afloydianslip8613 I don’t think Hendrix was the best around.I’M into blues Albert king.Gary Moore. Alvin lee slide guitar Sony landreth.Lowell George.my female blues Ana Popivic .Samantha fish.
Cool thanks. I went to his heavy weather concert (l think) in Victoria bc at royal theater. Can't remember year. Do remember his hand were a blur. I was maby 40 foot away small venue.
Dirty Pool was apparently the first song Stevie wrote by himself, he actually first recorded it with the Nightcrawlers (with Marc Benno) in 1971, the song was called 8-ball then. Benno released that version in 2006. I'm guessing this is from 1982, maybe early 1983. They didn't play it much on stage in 1981, and the style and length of this is pretty similar to the Montreux version from 1982, but this is slower (which I like). It was re-recorded as Dirty Pool for his Texas Flood album, so he played it a few times in 83 too on the Texas Flood tour, and even at his Carnegie Hall show in 84.
@@alliancekrav You're right, it's not Tommy playing here; the version you linked is a lot closer to this. Not only the totally different bass, but Stevie's vocal styling is also a lot closer. The band evolved a lot between 1979 and 1983 (Tommy had a lot to do with that), surprising that they would use a 1979 recording (with a different bassist) for a 1983 demo. Thanks for your input, now we're a bit closer to knowing the source of this recording!
@@afloydianslip8613 agreed, this version of Dirty Pool sounds reminiscent of the 79 Westerly, RI gig…… I too am a completist of all things Stevie…. And this is new to me as well.
Could also be even older than '81 / '82. There is a live recording here on youtube said to be from 1979, the video is called 'Stevie Ray Vaughan - Dirty Pool - 11/24/79 - Providence, RI'
Jackie Newhouse on bass, yes. But Freddie Walden or Jack Moore on drums? Maybe, but I doubt it. Walden left shortly after Newhouse joined the band, and Moore, his replacement only lasted a couple of months before he was replaced by Chris Layton. Aside from that, it sounds like Chris Layton to me, if you compare with later recordings that he definitely plays on.
A lot of great guitarists and being 59yrsold I've heard them all . Jimi and stevie the big 2 for me then theirs everyone else . Side note Clapton always been overated .
Yes the first song is Rude Mood. If you had read the intro, or listened for a bit more than 2 minutes then you would have heard Pride and Joy too, after Rude Mood. The third song is the unheard version of Dirty Pool.
@@jefharper3954 I'll try one more time shall I? I'll lead you through it by the hand since you don't seem to be able to figure it out for yourself. There are THREE songs. Look at the length of the clip. Almost 16 minutes. You really think Rude Mood is 16 minutes long? Yes the first song is Rude Mood, well spotted. The second song, as I've said twice already, Is Pride and Joy. The THIRD song, as I've also said twice, is the unheard live recording of Dirty Pool. It's almost ten minutes long, why can't you find it?
This has gotta be earlier than 82. That playing style of Pride And Joy is so unusual for 82-83. Same with the vocals. And Rude Mood is also a lot slower played than usually. I say this is 79-81. Maybe. Btw, amazing fucking find. One of my guitar idols and shit like this is cool.
Pride and Joy and Rude Mood are from the 1978 Jack Clement Nashville album. Other comments have established that Dirty Pool is from ca 1979, with Jack Newhouse on bass. Otherwise it's very similar to a Providence, Rhode Island performance of the song from 1979 too. So all these recordings are from 78-79, with Jack Newhouse rather than Tommy Shannon on bass. The concert promoted was in 1983 but Texas Flood was yet to be released at the time, so I'm assuming Stevie's manager had a stockpile of demo tapes that were a few years old, that he still used to demo the band for concert promotion. Suggest you read my intro again, a lot of that is explained there. Otherwise, glad you liked it :o) I'll admit this tape is still one of my favourite SRV artefacts.

11:01 Oh man, that moment gives me goosebumps, it feels like that guitar is crying. It is eternal SRV.

Lightning’ Hopkins through the hands of a divinely gifted individual. Soul to soul!
Apparently Doyle Bramhall wrote”Dirty Pool”.
Boum ! Merci Monsieur 🙏🇮🇪🇺🇸🇫🇷💫
Makes you wonder how much more could be found by Jimmy V and shared with us.
Awesome finding, it left me speechless!
Forever missed. Thank-you for making my day.

Definitely heard this before
Where? Somebody pointed out before that it's very similar to a live recording from Rhode Island in 1979, but it's definitely not from there.
Hey now….this is great…. Thank you! Do you think this could be ‘81 or ‘82? Sounds like it…..

Indeed. ....
Sounds like rude mood to me
Well spotted, it is. Followed by Pride & Joy, then the unheard version of Dirty Pool. If you read the blurb at the top, it explains all that.
