@@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. 🔥🙏
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.
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… 😢
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.
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 👍
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.
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 have to leave this statement.... Stevie Ray Vaughn and Albert King, were and are my favorite "Bluesmen." They played together in some videos and they were so good together. Two Cool Dudes!!!! 🙏👍😎
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.

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. ✌️🤓
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 🇨🇦 !
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'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
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!
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.
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".
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!!
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...🎸🎸🤘🤘
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.
Live nobody could touch him, pure genius! the ending you can tell is totally improvised, we don't have anything close to that kind of talent and heart today unfortunatly.
@@jzonkel depends on your metrics for good guitar music... not gonna argue with people who like a certain vibe and expression, i like caveman stoner rock riffs and selftaught delta blues players so :)
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.
Are you kidding, the guitar was just an extension of his hand, his guitar playing was ungodly and heavenly at the same time and is now etched on my DNA for ever.
I remember when Stevie Ray came with this tune. I mean it was like, . . . . . . WHAT!!!!!!!!??????????????????????????? You got to expect Stevie to bring some such to the masses, Still, it was like,...HOLY MOLY!!!!!! GOD wanted to hear the Texas Blues as well, and I miss Stevie Ray Vaughan. It as certainly nice while he was here. R.I.P. Stevie Ray!!!!!!
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.
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
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.
Wow, Stevie Ray, you are walking and breathing passion and soul. Passion and Soul was is and always will be ALIVE !!!! Just like your music and SPIRIT , ALWAYS ALIVE !!! 🤘🏼💀🤘🏼
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....
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.
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.
Great guitarist and a really great blues voices. I’m from the Jimi Hendrix era and it’s hard to say whose best. Both are super musicians and both brought about so much to us in music. Both are equal legends. RIP to SRV and Jimi. Both a great loss. You both live equally in your music and our memories. I’ve yet heard anybody to date that played like Jimi and SRV could 💕 ❤️🥰
@@kathleenbrandli694 I disagree. Firstly because why would Jimi wanna play like Stevie? and why would Stevie want to play like Jimi? Their styles are completely different. Stevie was a tighter more percussive player, Jimi was more expansive and elastic. I think Stevie's power in undeniable, but he doesn't have Hendrix's compositional genius; in his tunes or in his improvisations.
@@BassPlayer9000 Shrek won't save your soul. Shrek did not create everything. Shrek is not infinite and eternal. A fool in their heart says there is no God.
I can't even play 1 single note on the guitar and yet this guy is playing about a thousand per min😆. Mind-boggling how he does it. A master at his kraft.
What he does with the guitar seems so effortless. He could go on for hours & never play the same riff twice, it was all new. No one can top him & no one ever will. He had a gift from On High.
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 ❤!!!
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 !
@@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. 🔥🙏
Peter Green and Jimi Hendrix disagree .
oh thanks for those never heard words before.. no one would of never known until you told us!!
Oh my god how I wish you were still alive and playing RIP we miss you ❤❤❤❤❤❤
is guitar still appreciated? I sure hope so.
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!!
If someone doesn't think SRV is the baddest guitar player ever...they just ain't seen enough - straight up assassin
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. 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.
@@timsydlowski5208 it’s crazy if you look into Albert king I honestly think I hear more of him then Jimi in his playing
I love many guitarists. But in my opinion SRV is the greatest that ever lived.
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.
I was feeling it until you got to the God part
@@Cowboy1Brian Suit yourself douche bag.
Wrong,Wrong ,Wrong. GOD doesn't need anything or anyone please stop now! This is why GOD is NOT a respecter of Man or persons.

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 hope he's up there jamming with Jimi and all the great guitar players who have past on.god bless you all. Bigbob
Hendrix at Woodstock Voodoo Child on right here on utube if u dare
Even his mistakes sound like bulls eyes target even if they were… just mesmerizing and hypnotic to no end… ❤❤❤
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.
You were fortunate! ❤️
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 have three words for this, only three; BEAU - TI - FUL! Gentlemen, as far as we listen to his music SRV remains alive.
His music changed my life. And I don't play guitar.
Great Testament! You Should Find Out More About Stevie The MAN! He Was The Sweetest & Most Caring Human On The Planet!!❤❤❤ I Miss Him SO Very Much!!
Same for me: Not a musician, but amazed how deep SRV was in the flow/zone... like Neil Young or Prince.
@@inlakesh555very true and an Amazing musician like Prince, Stevie Wonder or Elton John on Stage with Real players music and true musics...
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.
Only by guitar players. Same with bonamassa, vai and satch.
@Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow 1977 same with those, and gary moore
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 👊🏻

Как Вам повезло услышать Стиви на фестивале! Да такую Вещь!!!
Awesome . Rock On 😎🤘🎸
Me too! Now I can't get out!! HELP!
That's so awesome!!! 😊
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.
If it was possible to get the vote all Musician’s and fans from 60’s to the present, SRV would be voted as the #1 guitar player of all time.
a 15 minutes Voodoo Child.... This made my day !!!!
God said let there be Stevie Ray Vaughn
and he put him in taj
farrant for a second round at SRV music
This man was a gift from god, and now he is ROCKING THE FUCKING UNIVERSE!
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!!
I love that there are great things on TH-cam. SRV lives on as we watch him repeatedly on our screens.
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. 😂
we lost him? no, we always have him. in our heart
That’s by far the best version of Couldn’t Stand The Weather ever recorded.
I was born 17 days after this concert.
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.
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 believe the word we are all struggling to say is virtuoso. His command of the guitar.is unparalleled. Amazing.
Voodoo Child is the epitome of a soul expressing soul on an open channel into the universe and beyond.
This whole show is unbelievable, he was flying on that thing, while smoking a pipe, hahah.So effortless for him.Thats born to play right there!!!!
見とけばよかった！
今さらだけど後悔...
生で聴きたかった～！
Live nobody could touch him, pure genius! the ending you can tell is totally improvised, we don't have anything close to that kind of talent and heart today unfortunatly.
Not even close
We have better stuff today, this was before electric guitar took off in all sorts of creative directions
@@fredriksvard2603 not better, just more good stuff
@@jzonkel depends on your metrics for good guitar music... not gonna argue with people who like a certain vibe and expression, i like caveman stoner rock riffs and selftaught delta blues players so :)
@@fredriksvard2603 stevie is pretty close to being a self taught delta blues player. self taught delta blues players are definitely nothing new
Everybody liked Stevie . Most loved him.
Count me in. I love him to this day....
That bassman know is job. Perfect rythm.
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.
Are you kidding, the guitar was just an extension of his hand, his guitar playing was ungodly and heavenly at the same time and is now etched on my DNA for ever.
This man was on his own.. I couldn't imagine playing along side him.
I remember when Stevie Ray came with this tune. I mean it was like, . . . . . . WHAT!!!!!!!!??????????????????????????? You got to expect Stevie to bring some such to the masses, Still, it was like,...HOLY MOLY!!!!!! GOD wanted to hear the Texas Blues as well, and I miss Stevie Ray Vaughan. It as certainly nice while he was here. R.I.P. Stevie Ray!!!!!!
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.
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
@@Sabbatical_k Great player but for me it's Buddy Guy every time.
the tone of his guitar is incredible
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 💯
Bad to the freaking bone! I'll never tire of him and his musical genius!
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!
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
isn't he the greatest!!!!! ever!!! RIP dude you will never ever be forgotten!!!!
Hard to believe that Stevie's been dead longer than he was alive. An extrodinary talent who's music will outlive us all.
Never saw him play and thought, he's having an off night. One of the best stringers of all time.
Who gave this a thumbs down???????? THAT IS CRAZY.............THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!
A idiot
This is the best recording for a blues concert ever to be
The performance is great - the recording, not so much. Be a shame if this is all there is.
@@jpdemer5 Yeah I was maybe a little too excited on that if u take it literally but I can say its the best I know
The longest guitar solos known to man. They say his energy level and forearm/hand strength and endurance were unmatched and still remain non-existent.
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.
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.
He's a God in RED!!!!!!!
Wow, Stevie Ray, you are walking and breathing passion and soul. Passion and Soul was is and always will be ALIVE !!!! Just like your music and SPIRIT , ALWAYS ALIVE !!!
🤘🏼💀🤘🏼
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
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.
Paul Sigmon Laundry Matt Blues.
Albert influenced Stevie and many others but nobody ever reproduced him, he was one of a kind!
Personal Manager by Albert King will hair lip the pope.
Cool, I did not know that...
💗 💖 💘 💝 💟... I just said that to myself!! Never, ever saw this before!!! My words... OMG... smoking a pipe, just like Albert King!!!
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.
Great guitarist and a really great blues voices. I’m from the Jimi Hendrix era and it’s hard to say whose best.
Both are super musicians and both brought about so much to us in music.
Both are equal legends. RIP to SRV and Jimi. Both a great loss. You both live equally in your music and our memories. I’ve yet heard anybody to date that played like Jimi and SRV could 💕 ❤️🥰
Hendrix couldn't play like Stevie if his life depended on it. You know it as well as I do.
Well said and I agree. Nobody’s better , they’re simply both 🎸 Guitar Gods.
Hendrix was good but sloppy. There's no one like srv. Was a Tru open channel
@@kathleenbrandli694 I disagree. Firstly because why would Jimi wanna play like Stevie? and why would Stevie want to play like Jimi? Their styles are completely different. Stevie was a tighter more percussive player, Jimi was more expansive and elastic. I think Stevie's power in undeniable, but he doesn't have Hendrix's compositional genius; in his tunes or in his improvisations.
People who’ve been there must be still talking of this everyday. This is godlike!
Couldn't stand the weather, incredible version
Who ever is reading this God blesses you and loves you he's here with me now
Shuudduppp!!!!!
God is Love

That’s what’s called in the groove🎸
I can't even play 1 single note on the guitar and yet this guy is playing about a thousand per min😆. Mind-boggling how he does it. A master at his kraft.
there are fater players out there.....but none play better!
Best S.R.V. performance that I've heard ever.
Live at the el Macombo theater was unreal too
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
He is the best guitar player in the world
FACT!
💯All day Long ✨💖✨
What he does with the guitar seems so effortless. He could go on for hours & never play the same riff twice, it was all new. No one can top him & no one ever will. He had a gift from On High.
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
