Anyone doing vocals on his songs loses something only his vocals can convey. Never was the blues/ TexMex ever done so expertly on both sides of vocals and his guitar being a separate entity on stage for most but SRV never sacrificed the vocals for the guitar or guitar for the vocals. Too bad Jimi couldn’t of seen SRV cuz he would of been entranced while also being entertained smiling throughout his set. SRV was never trying to copy Jimi but pay tribute while making Jimi’s music an extension of Stevies set but not just some garage band copying their heroes music.
His playing is absolutely unparalleled. The cleanest live leads I've ever heard. He does not make mistakes!!! An earlier reviewer said it best..... He doesn't just play the guitar, SRV is the guitar and the guitar is SRV. RIP, your brilliance will live on forever 🎸🤘🏼❤
his Voodoo Chile solo is a masterwork in and of it's own, he knows exactly where he's going with every detail of it, yet it has all the dangers and spectical of a raging chemical fire.
I met SRV in 1984 at Antones on Guadalupe St. in Austin, Texas when he came up to my table during a sound check for Doug Saham. I bought him a beer and we talked for about 30 minutes. Then the year of 1985 his career exploded. I went to his memorial in Austin with Jimmy and His mother, Martha. Then I contributed to his statue on Town Lake/ Lady Bird Lake. His death was the end of the uprising of the blues which started when Eric Clapton started using blues legends as opening acts. I use to play drums for James Cotton of Cotton/Winter fame. What a great I've had playing drums. RIP Mr. Vaughan.
Incredible story! You are so lucky I am positively envious of you! You were there and experienced things we all can only dream about! You must have special favor with the Cosmos! All I can do is cherish your part in the big picture... Thank you for enriching us all!
I met Jimmie a few years ago in Santa Cruz CA. What a nice person. I can only imagine what it must have been like to meet his brother because the Apple didn't fall far from the tree. Love Your Story too!!!
@@craiggoodman7 Yes, my 52 years as drummer has been quite a ride. Meeting and talking with SRV would be the greatest happening in anyone's life but for me it was meeting Roy Orbison in 1988 here in Austin and Chuck Berry a few years later. Man, talk about a mind blower!! Glad you enjoyed it and I'm gonna write a book one day.
Although his mainstream career only spanned seven years, he is considered to be one of the most iconic and influential musicians in the history of blues music, and one of the greatest guitarists of all time.

I still remember hearing the news of his death while sitting in my dorm room. Man, what a shock. Evidently God was putting together a blues band and needed the Jimi and Stevie combo to finish his masterpiece. R.I.P, Stevie.
If I ever said something was unfair in life, it’s Stevie leaving so so soon… We could’ve handle another 20-30 years of his incomparable music and talent… But gone at 35..?? Why..?? Specially with the state music is in these days where nothing makes musical sense… 😢
@@pacoguerilla3097yeah God gave him that talent, but like what Gid gives us all in one way or the other we gotta get after it, it will never come on its own. 🔥🙏
His playing is so natural and organic... it seems like he is not playing the guitar he is the guitar... at that level you can do anything with an instrument. To me the best there was and ever will be.
I was looking for that kind of comment here. 100% agreed. Like you said, he was not playing guitar, he was guitar. I have never seen any other guitar player to play so natural way with this instrument. It's like he was born with guitar and guitar was part of his body. Just pure talent... Great loss. Still having some tears when thinking about him...
I always told my dad he's the only player I've ever seen play and then thought to myself, the guitar 🎸 is not good enough for him. He just has such total control and command of it at all times. Damn mind blowing shit.
Stevie was one of the greatest blues guitarist ever! I would however like to give a shout out to the drummer who had the greatest talent filling in with Stevies offbeat and his tendency to never play the same song exactly the same so the drummer had the difficult job of keeping on beat. He did it with a professionalism like no other! And so then the beat goes on...
Hats off to you for bringing that up. A lot of of people don't realize what a tough time accompanying musicians have with such a fluid, yet ever-changing variety, (due to talent), in a song. They all came through! All professionals 👍
One of the best Power-Trios ever compiled. Great move adding Reese Wynans a few months after this. The keyboards filled a lot of empty space and gave Stevie the ability to stretch a bit stylistically.
I was exactly 18 (to the day) when SRV put on this blues clinic. To me he appears a bit fatigued and those who know will always wonder,.what kind of dope was in Tokyo at the time. I choose to believe that SRV was at the end of a long tour and done with the material at that point. Even so,.this man rocks the socks offa any cat that I have ever heard from and God bless,."I will see ya on the next side,.and don't be late".
SRV was gone before I knew his music, but I lived in Japan during the early 2000's. One of my favorite memories was wandering past the outdoor theater in Ueno on a sunny day in early fall, and hearing the beginning of a loud and well-practiced SRV cover band. Got myself a cold beverage or two and sat down for the show. Not the man himself, but the next best thing.
And I thought Angus Young was the best guitar player alive when Back and Black came out. I apologize for my ignorance Stevie! You remain the greatest to this day.
I’m with ya man. I’m 45 and just learning about Stevie’s brilliance now. What a talent , I wish I would of clued in years and years ago. Simple fucking awesome ! Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦 !
Thank God for this video. This will still be played 500 years from now. They may wonder about the pipe and the hat, but the ass kicking face melting blues will still grab them
In other words; Eat, sleep & breathe anything and you'll become a 'magician' at it, like "how'd he do that? 😲 🤯" Most of us aren't that "crazy" to dedicate all of ourselves to anything let alone anything so risky. Like breaking outta jail, he wanted it & so he got it. ✌️🤓
you're right, when someone is so entwined with the guitar it speaks directly from him, without thought , pure emotion. it is rarer than people think, but SRV was the greatest exponent in my opinion
The Pipe is a nod to Albert King who frequently smoked a pipe during performances. If you are unfamiliar with Albert King, his style was virtually reproduced by SRV and many others.
Talking big balls...bassist Tommy Shannon played bass for two of the greatest guitarists to ever live...he was Johnny Winter's bass player when Johnny first started as well as being in Stevie Ray's Double Trouble. Nice!
Tommy Shannon is one of a very few people who can say that he played at the original Woodstock God bless these guys they're all my original Texas homeboys and they make me proud as a papa.🇨🇱🎶🎸🎙️☮️🤟👍
As a bass player that has played in quite a few blues bands over the past 35 years, it never gets old. I dreamed of sitting in with SRV one day...I guess I'll have to wait until I get to the other side. I told my wife not to forget to put my '59 P-Bass in the pine box before they put me in the ground...LOL. Nope, she said...I'm keeping it to remember you by. Fair enough!
El me inspiró a tocar guitarra desde pequeño....siempre tuve la idea de hacerle tributo. Saludos querido maestro, quizás ya estás entre nosotros de nuevo.
I used to work at best buy in Bloomington IL and one of the guys would bring this in ON LASERDISC!! I always remembered this opening where he was Scuttle Buttin and puffing on that pipe and i could never find it... Till now!!
Goddamit, anybody still listening in 2021? Frying my zuchinni with onion, but no man his ears gen get fright like when hearing SRV and double trouble playing.
I can’t imagine him losing his title. He is so rare and there isn’t a single thing anyone could to improve anything. Not one note. Not in feeling or passion or skill - clothing choices - : ) Not - nothing. He is it. WThe only thing anyone else could do if they had this level of magic and skill (Ha!) would be to have fantastic new songs. And everybody (me) would pine even more Stevie. And I’d be back here. But that person at best would be as good…. Nope that’s just ridiculous. Because it’s all the elements of art and precision and not “playing” but being with his guitar. I can’t explain it. Not going to happen. Someone great but different will come along but there’s great and then there’s Stevie. I really love this guy. He got me through hundreds of miles driving in the dark during a horrific divorce - my kids grew up singing in the car… I guess his struggles make him so likable - I root for the underdog, but he’s hardly an underdog but for difficulties. So he seems sweet, human, best guitarist in history past , present, future… no - no one will ever come along that would be in his league. Not sure why I even went through that exercise, but the answer never changes. He broke the mold - and some guitar strings in the process. He’s the GOAT. He should get a Medal of Honor or be posthumously Knighted. Nah - hed love to dress up for that though. Oh, what a fun, wonderful being. He had a temper. He just seems so human.
Catch a band called The Hoax their guitarists Jesse Davies and John Amore have the techniques and tone down to a fine art , The Hoax toured with Buddy Guy and there’s video of BG conceding to JD in horse shoe shaped jam , there’s a lot of vids here on you tube well worth watching , the influence of SRV is obvious and their sound derivative but it doesn’t detract from their brilliance
Stevie didn't bring his Dumble Steel String Singer on this trip so he's playing out of 2 Vibroverbs (one powering the Vibratone Leslie), a Super Reverb, and the gap of the Dumble was filled by two cranked Twin Reverbs! Insane tone!!
I have to say the same. I thought I've seen every SRV video there is on YT but somehow missed this one. There is something a particular special about this performance. And especially, Texas Flood. He found entirely another level to represent "home" while abroad. It's perfection.
You have had alot guys who came after Stevie that were trying to sound like him and cop his stuff....and you have had a few that have done a pretty good job of it...John Mayer...Kenny Wayne Sheppard..and a few others...but make no mistake about it...no one and I mean no one will ever touch this guy... period...🎸🎸🎸🎸
Россия! За Стиви и всех Отцов техасского блюза за всех родоначальников этого направления оторвёт башку! Не смотря на войну, и все санкции с наушниками в ушах,и АК 7.62 в руках , будет рвать всех и вся на своём пути...🎸🎸🤘🤘
A master musician , guitarist and singer SRV gets a normally quiet crowd in Tokyo to be the most responsive that I have ever heard / a truly great and monumental performance .
@@fieldroaster21 There are many . Which link do you think is their best ? I've started 3 and the sound is terrible so as stated , which one should I watch .
@@JazzFan4life wow what disrespect to other legend guitarists , this shows that you dont love the guitar , you are biased, you just love some things but not the guitar. If you dont have the ability to explore something else than your usual stuff. Narrow minded attitude at its best
Goat! Best guitarist ever! He owned that piece of wood and ive never heard anyone play as precise and hard driving with such intensity for a whole show in my life! Stevie was indeed the best and played with such feeling and soul just phenomenal, extraordinary a once in 100 lifetimes kind of talent and he got better in the years ahead when he became clean and he talked about how close he was to overdosing and that he was sober and clean and wanted to help as many people as he could! Exemplary human being with a big heart , a damn good decent caring person who didnt give a shit about fame and just wanted to play!!! Absolutely devastating loss for all of us, I hope I can meet him on the other side! CJS....
We were lucky to have stevie for as long as we did ,he was not just the GREATEST GUITAR GENIUS EVER , but a great person !!! R.I.P stevie and thank you for all the love you passed our way ❤!!!
3 of the tightest musicians ever,every time i watch footage of SRV,you can see how much Tommy loved been up there with him,R.I.P. Stevie,love ya man.❤😢
If Stevie were Alive Today he would be in The G-3 Tours with Satriani, Vai, Malmsteen, Even Eddie Van Halen would be Friends as many other greats , Page too because Clapton and Beck had Played with him. He was and still is the Greatest Heavy Blues Guitar Player on the face of this Earth. If Hendrix were alive in the 80,s he would be proud of his Legacy¡ 🙏🙏❤❤🎸🎸
The tour of Japan rocked the blues with that voice of Stevie Ray Vaughan and the way he played his guitar on the floor my God what an amazing man he was.
So sad he died at 35. Wished he wouldn't have gotten in helicopter after dreaming of seeing his funeral. God showed him he was gonna die, but not when or how. So sorry music lost him, but for me, he lives on.
I'm so glad he got clean & sober, and had a few good years to genuinely enjoy his life, off stage and on! Like Jimi, he was a humble, unassuming, and kind man at heart. Thanks for posting this gem! RIP SRV
@@itguru2037untrue. His playing did not suffer after he got clean. Still phenomenal. In fact, by the time he hit rock bottom his playing was declining, as is clearly evidenced on the album put out right before he crashed.
man that transition from tin pan alley into dirty pool is soo fuckin sick. the way he just turns to his band and yells "DIRTY POOL" and they know exactly what to do is so masterful.
Nobody talks about his vocals. The man could sing, too!
not wrong there..
That's what I'm saying! Loved his vocals as well!!!!!
So fucking on point
Anyone doing vocals on his songs loses something only his vocals can convey. Never was the blues/ TexMex ever done so expertly on both sides of vocals and his guitar being a separate entity on stage for most but SRV never sacrificed the vocals for the guitar or guitar for the vocals.

You know Jimi was not around that long though he is some kind of god. These are very very special people not any ordinary men.
No consideration to be made here, thats absolute facts brother 👊🏻
The man poured out his soul in the beautiful gloriousness of music. Thank you
He and Jimi and EVH up in heaven trading choruses.
Then Jeff Beck and Terry Kath ask if they can play too. lol
Oh my god how I wish you were still alive and playing RIP we miss you ❤❤❤❤❤❤

As a trio, they were great, but adding Reese on keyboards was the topper! Truly, one of the best...SRV, my favorite!
He plays with Joe Bonamassa these days😎
Going from a 3 piece to a 4 piece is a BIG decision, so you KNOW Stevie saw something serious in him!!
I love many guitarists. But in my opinion SRV is the greatest that ever lived.
Best blues guitarist in the world, God gave him a special talent.
I agree with the man ho said SRV IS the blues guitarist in the world ❤❤❤
No. He worked a lot, night and days, even without amp !

Simply the greatest !!!!

That guitar didn't get off so lucky either. Best way to burn out your car battery I'd say!

You need to keep the car started. And for a powerful amplifier, you may need an alternator mod as well.

This is one of the greatest guitar performances ever recorded, A true master of the art of Texas blues backed by a superb Double Trouble on this.

The greatest electric blues guitarist to ever live.He had the best teachers.
Jimi Hendrix " Hold my beer "
Tbh the/his best teachers were commitment & experience. Dude often slept in the bars he played in when he was cutting his teeth.
In other words; Eat, sleep & breathe anything and you'll become a 'magician' at it, like "how'd he do that? 😲 🤯"

Mike Hunt do u know what that says?.
HUGE sound from Chris and Tommy, a freaking trio. Stevie will always be in my heart.
His fingers on that guitar .... He doesn't even think about it.... Amazing!!!
A legend that can never be replaced
you're right, when someone is so entwined with the guitar it speaks directly from him, without thought , pure emotion. it is rarer than people think, but SRV was the greatest exponent in my opinion
At 35:49 you can truly see his love for his craft. The emotion with which he plays is so beautiful to witness. Rest in peace Stevie.
The Pipe is a nod to Albert King who frequently smoked a pipe during performances. If you are unfamiliar with Albert King, his style was virtually reproduced by SRV and many others.

So he seems sweet, human, best guitarist in history past , present, future… no - no one will ever come along that would be in his league. Not sure why I even went through that exercise, but the answer never changes. He broke the mold - and some guitar strings in the process. He’s the GOAT. He should get a Medal of Honor or be posthumously Knighted. Nah - hed love to dress up for that though. Oh, what a fun, wonderful being. He had a temper. He just seems so human.
Johnny Winter was even more of a marathon soloist
SRV learned everything from fellow Texan Johnny Winter, the greatest rock guitarist ever.
@@RRoss-gt4sv And took what he learned to the greatest levels known to man and went beyond. SRV’s talent is untouchable.
Stevie copied from Jimi Hendrix and Johnny Winter 97%, never call him original.
Made it look soooo damn easy!!
Years of practicing all day.
That's greatness.
That bassman know is job. Perfect rythm.
Holy CRAP!!! First time watching this one, and I'm just...there are no words. RIP SRV
I started watching one video earlier this evening & here it is 2:30 am and I can't stop, looks like another all nighter!!!Damn straight!
That is by far the best Strat tone I've ever heard, especially on Texas Flood.
Catch a band called The Hoax their guitarists Jesse Davies and John Amore have the techniques and tone down to a fine art , The Hoax toured with Buddy Guy and there’s video of BG conceding to JD in horse shoe shaped jam , there’s a lot of vids here on you tube well worth watching , the influence of SRV is obvious and their sound derivative but it doesn’t detract from their brilliance
Stevie didn't bring his Dumble Steel String Singer on this trip so he's playing out of 2 Vibroverbs (one powering the Vibratone Leslie), a Super Reverb, and the gap of the Dumble was filled by two cranked Twin Reverbs! Insane tone!!
I have to say the same. I thought I've seen every SRV video there is on YT but somehow missed this one. There is something a particular special about this performance. And especially, Texas Flood. He found entirely another level to represent "home" while abroad. It's perfection.
🎸😢Stevie makes me cry like a baby, every time.
Amazing concert. A great musician, who left too soon
You have had alot guys who came after Stevie that were trying to sound like him and cop his stuff....and you have had a few that have done a pretty good job of it...John Mayer...Kenny Wayne Sheppard..and a few others...but make no mistake about it...no one and I mean no one will ever touch this guy... period...🎸🎸🎸🎸
Россия! За Стиви и всех Отцов техасского блюза за всех родоначальников этого направления оторвёт башку! Не смотря на войну, и все санкции с наушниками в ушах,и АК 7.62 в руках , будет рвать всех и вся на своём пути...🎸🎸🤘🤘
Total concurrence amigo. Never be a better.
RIP Stevie Ray Vaughan (October 3, 1954 - August 27, 1990), aged 35
You will be remembered as a legend.
He had to leave us too soon !!! I truly miss him 😪✨💖✨💯
His soul was much older inside of a younger man. Never to be duplicated again.
@@itguru2037 True 💯
This performance is my favorite by SRV. He was such an amazing talent taken from us WAY too soon. #MyFav #RIP
Seriously, I've watched this so many times! Live at the el mocambo is insane but the intensity and precision he has in this performance is unmatched!
Jumpin' JAKE Flash so much cocaine. He’s brilliant!
Ingvar Zakharov yeah he started to lose control during this time
Baddest cat to ever walk the face of Earth. RIP SRV and the world loves you.
The Strat was smokin' more than the pipe. LOL!
All About The Love.

Lie
I like it !
A master musician , guitarist and singer SRV gets a normally quiet crowd in Tokyo to be the most responsive that I have ever heard / a truly great and monumental performance .
So Glad to have seen and heard him at The Ohio State fair. Can't have of him years later and saw his brother with Eric 12 ft away.
Go listen to the Zeppelin Japan bootlegs hahaha
@@fieldroaster21 There are many . Which link do you think is their best ? I've started 3 and the sound is terrible so as stated , which one should I watch .
@@JazzFan4life wow what disrespect to other legend guitarists , this shows that you dont love the guitar , you are biased, you just love some things but not the guitar. If you dont have the ability to explore something else than your usual stuff. Narrow minded attitude at its best
This is the rowdiest Japanese crowd ever recorded.
I love this crowd, especially on tin pan alley / Dirty pool!
Judas Priest fans in Japan know how to throw down. They were captured historically as great recordings.
Japanese people are very emotional underneath the social structures❤
@@patrickfarrell6353YEEEEES😁🤘❗️
Bad to the freaking bone! I'll never tire of him and his musical genius!
Still shed a tear when I hear him play. What a tremendous loss to the music world. Rest in Rock SRV.
Its runnin down my nose right now
He managed to produce the sounds of multiple guitars on most of his songs. RIP WORLD'S BEST GUITARIST.
Goat!
Best guitarist ever!
He owned that piece of wood and ive never heard anyone play as precise and hard driving with such intensity for a whole show in my life! Stevie was indeed the best and played with such feeling and soul just phenomenal, extraordinary a once in 100 lifetimes kind of talent and he got better in the years ahead when he became clean and he talked about how close he was to overdosing and that he was sober and clean and wanted to help as many people as he could! Exemplary human being with a big heart , a damn good decent caring person who didnt give a shit about fame and just wanted to play!!!
Absolutely devastating loss for all of us, I hope I can meet him on the other side!
CJS....
100% my brother man
We were lucky to have stevie for as long as we did ,he was not just the GREATEST GUITAR GENIUS EVER , but a great person !!! R.I.P stevie and thank you for all the love you passed our way ❤!!!
TRUMP 2020!!!
His birthday is oct 3 guys.
Fuck trump and all politics . Fuckin dumbass comment. Fuckin politics don't belong around music. Sorry Stevie. Miss ya brother
3 of the tightest musicians ever,every time i watch footage of SRV,you can see how much Tommy loved been up there with him,R.I.P. Stevie,love ya man.❤😢
Music that touches your soul.
a 15 minutes Voodoo Child.... This made my day !!!!
He blows my mind every time I watch him !
isn't he the greatest!!!!! ever!!! RIP dude you will never ever be forgotten!!!!
I remember getting a VHS tape of this concert from a friend and I played it so much it broke so I never gave it back, the tape saved my life
And yet we all this on TH-cam now . Sure some kids have no clue what a VHS is
One of the greatest guitar blues players of all times !...
he touched my soul and does every time ❤he was electric ⚡️ rip you beautiful soul Stevie ❤
Hard to believe that Stevie's been dead longer than he was alive. An extrodinary talent who's music will outlive us all.
If Stevie were Alive Today he would be in The G-3 Tours with Satriani, Vai, Malmsteen, Even Eddie Van Halen would be Friends as many other greats , Page too because Clapton and Beck had Played with him. He was and still is the Greatest Heavy Blues Guitar Player on the face of this Earth. If Hendrix were alive in the 80,s he would be proud of his Legacy¡ 🙏🙏❤❤🎸🎸
Absolutely fantastic SRV
IS AMAZING GUITARIST 🎸 PLAYS A GREAT BLUES GUITAR RIP WELL
Miss you god wlll look after your ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Long live the Blues💙💙💙
The tour of Japan rocked the blues with that voice of Stevie Ray Vaughan and the way he played his guitar on the floor my God what an amazing man he was.
So sad he died at 35. Wished he wouldn't have gotten in helicopter after dreaming of seeing his funeral. God showed him he was gonna die, but not when or how. So sorry music lost him, but for me, he lives on.
Stevie Ray Vaughan is a legend! 😎 During this concert, he was still using. I'm so glad he got clean, the following year. ❤️
I'm so glad he got clean & sober, and had a few good years to genuinely enjoy his life, off stage and on! Like Jimi, he was a humble, unassuming, and kind man at heart. Thanks for posting this gem! RIP SRV
You can’t play like this without using
@@itguru2037untrue. His playing did not suffer after he got clean. Still phenomenal. In fact, by the time he hit rock bottom his playing was declining, as is clearly evidenced on the album put out right before he crashed.
Guitar slinger extraordinaire!! "The man" RIP Stevie, thank you for the show!!
Voodoo Child is the epitome of a soul expressing soul on an open channel into the universe and beyond.
Why we got to lose the best first?? Best blues guitarist ever.......Uncontested.
Gotta put Clapton in there too...imo
for real for me he is by far the best blues performer ever.. a fucking legend
@@hutch_hunta Great player but for me it's Buddy Guy every time.
the tone of his guitar is incredible
May God’s peace be with you in times of trouble, offering you solace and reassurance that He is always by your side, ready to support and uplift you.
A Treasure of the Universe !
WELCOME TO THE PARTY !!🎉🎊🎈🎉🎊🎉🎊🎈🎉🎊🎈🎉
✨🌟🤘🏼💀🤘🏼🌟✨
SRV WAS & IS THE COOLEST & THE BEST!
Everybody liked Stevie . Most loved him.
Count me in. I love him to this day....
Who gave this a thumbs down???????? THAT IS CRAZY.............THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!
A idiot
This vid kicks some major ass...one of the best performances I have ever heard from Stevie...incredible...
I agree. I wish I would known about years ago
I love Stevie Ray Vaughn.
People who’ve been there must be still talking of this everyday. This is godlike!
SRV, all day, all night, smoothest boogie-woogie blues badassness.🤘🏻😎🤘🏻!!!!
SRV, R I P🕯🌠
Transition from Tin Pan Alley to Dirty Pool's just flawless.
Transition of pipe from one side of the mouth to the other is just flawless
Gospel
I play for 30 years now , and i can tell u stevies fret work is SO INTENSE ITS MIND BLOWING😵😵!!!
Not to mention potentially unintentional. 😂
man that transition from tin pan alley into dirty pool is soo fuckin sick. the way he just turns to his band and yells "DIRTY POOL" and they know exactly what to do is so masterful.
30 years ago the wolrd became a weird place to live - RIP SRV
That day I stared at the floor for 30 minutes weeping...
Wherever we go from here, if I can't listen to SRV I ain't going.
