I lived in Houston TX when SRV was starting out. I saw him many times at local clubs. Also saw ZZ Top a bunch before they got really famous. Freakin awesome!!
I did see him at Fitzgeralds in Berwyn Illinois in 81 and visit with him for about half an hour after the show as the family was friends of mine. We did shots, beers and jabbered about JImi. To memory he had closed his set with 4 less predictable things from Jimi like this. He was about a year from being famous at this point.
For those who were living in Austin, Antone's Bar was that very place where Stevie played regular. It had to be so incredible to just go there on a weekend and see him and his brother Jimmy Lee play as well not to mention all the talent that came through there over the years. I saw Bobby Blues Bland play there with Robert Cray before Cray was a household name. Stevie was touched by something very, very special. He like Jimi went to a place that very few have ever visited and very few to this day will never be privileged enough to visit that special place. Stevie gave us something that I've never witnessed in my life time musically. He was an original. Just as Jimi was an original. The day he died I felt like I had been kicked in the gut. It hurt so bad and I cried for days on end because we had just been robbed of that special gift. Miss you SRV😢
@briancogburn998 I hear you there ! Have seen many of the great ones live including Hendrix, Alvin Lee, Leslie West, Santana, Albert and B.B. King, Rory Gallagher, Duane Allman, Mark Knopfler, Johnny Winter -- but I never saw SRV live. And the one chance I had I screwed it up - to my eternal regret :(
About right there my friend. I've serviced, repaired and rebuilt a fair few Stratocasters and indeed Telecasters in my time. Only one was a write off but it was belted into a concrete stage block (with very spectacular results indeed) and to be fair, nothing was going to survive that. Oh and for the haters before you reply, that one was an inexpensive copy. In my limited but colorful career working as a tech I only ever really got nervous once, when a Gibson Les Paul was thrown off stage in my general direction. Caught that one with my face which was a little uncomfortable but it saved the guitar. If it was a Strat I would have just ducked, it would have lived ;)
Hey can you tell me which pickups are better for getting a SRV, Hendrix, Gilmoure and all of the classic rock sound Fender 57/62 or Seymour Duncan pickups?
Sanad Khalid , Texas specials are the only way to go for SRV tone. Those guys are probably the most iconic single coil players, clapton too. As far as Gilmore's tone, it's in his fingers, not the pu's lol. But he played a mix of a custom Seymour on the bridge and some 70s(not sure what year) Fender customs for the other 2. But the one consistency about all their pu's - NON- Noiseless !!!!!
@@subzero308 So I can say "without Muddy Waters, Bob Dylan, Howling Wolf Hendrix would've been nothing. Hendrix is way overrated." Stay away from any art form if you can't appreciate people
Tommy Shannon & Chris Layton are some of the most solid musicians around...Everyone knows Stevie is and always will be a guitar god... True spirit being expressed!!!
Late reply here. You nailed it. This is a true miracle that we get to see it. As you say, FOREVER! The man is legendary. This performance captures SRV's essence. I feel blessed to have been placed here at the same time.
I can't believe Stevie did that to the first wife(aka #1). Loved SRV so much. That's damn near all I listened to in the 80s. Saw him 2x - right up front both times. A-fuckin-Mazing! A part of me died when he passed away. I still love all his music to this day. Wish he was still here - I'd love to hear what he had in store for us to enjoy, admire and amaze us with. An incredible legend! God rest your sole. Miss you Stevie.
@@MedicBroh it’s still a 59...the pickups and D taper neck make it a 59. Regardless of the body actually being from a 63 and the neck not being from a 59. I actually got to hold the thing on my 18th bday courtesy of my pops being in the music business
@@keithremedy Well what defines the age of guitar? The body or the pickups. In my mind the body is the guitar and the rest just add to them, so i'd call it a '63. If i had a 2022 body and put on a '57 neck and '58 pickup's i wouldnt call it a '57 or '58.
This faithful cover performance just further illustrates the jaw-dropping originality, creativity, & genius of Hendrix. He pushed the boundaries of what was possible through amplified sound, as far as Lorentz & Einstein extended the boundaries of our explanatory knowledge of nature.
And ... was one of the best songwriters of the 1960s, in terms of sheer quantity of quality songs. I feel that part of Jimi's legacy gets lost. How many times does "Little Wing" have to be covered by top artists before we get it?
@@drewmatthews860 there’s an old fender ad where a slightly heavier man stood on a strat neck while it acted as a bridge between two boxes. Fender refuses to break
I enjoy listening to his covers. Does them the way the original.performer played them, but ads his touch. Has said Hendrix was one he wished he could have met.
SRV was the only player that legitimately deserved to play the Hendrix songs, and he played them in an honorable and respectful way. It was sacred ground he was treading on there.
I would pay 2 thousand dollars to have seen this concert live, you can all have your super bowl guys playing with balls.... This show was something special
stevie was beyond awesome, I wish Chris and Tommy got more credit, can you imagine being the rhythm section for that guy every night????????? BTW how does one write or learn a song? like this this is a journey more that a song.
Its really difficult to Imagine this sort of music, let alone write it. That's why people are still copying the True Guitar God "JIMI HENDRIX" No one yet has created anything to touch him, and it's been fifty long lonely years since he died. R.I.P. Jimi. There's no one come close.
some time in the 80s or 90s i was walking north on railroad tracks from south austin to north austin.....i knew where i lived but i was taking a new route home....had to really poop....saw a house in a field....walked to it and knocked on the door to use the restroom......some one said don't bother knockin the house is a rockin.....went in pooped and was blown away by the intensity of the sounds....made it home and to work the nest day.....thank you stevie r
my bud and i used to watch vhs tapes of stevie and jimi seeing jimi fret a note on the third fret with his thumb and play way up the fucking neck was insane hearing stevie for the first time just wow i swear these guys were from another planet
seeing that live mustve been like seeing jimi live when he lit his guitar on fire one time performance cant be exactly duplicated ever again wow amazing
The SRV live from El Macambo performance is a staple, I’ve owned the DVD since a teenager and still come back to now TH-cam to relive it. When I feel like someone likeminded is ready for it or someone that just needs to hear or experience a pure natural the Lenny and 3rd Stone performances are my go to. No one else has the scope, from gentle touch and speed to raw and insanely musical manhandling of a guitar. No matter how gentle or violently he touches the guitar you get music, nuts.
Stevie Ray Vaughan is sensational..Every performance is pheniminal..greatest guitar legend and the best blue's stringer around..Stevie knew guitars and they got to know Stevie..fantastic band ..
How can I put this..Let's just say..Stevie Ray Vaughan is Over the Rainbow..r you with me? A legend and far more advanced then another guitar player around...whether it be rock n roll..blue's..singer..promotor..he became the legion he is and WAS..got it..RIP Stevie..you earned it..
Yeah, grew up with this as a teenager in 1970s. Whoaaa. Stevie plays this properly. A true and real Maestro of the Fender Strat just like Jimi. Both dearly RIP
Third stone from the sun,is phenomenal and in performance is Stevie Ray Vaughan and his awesome band..blue's and rock n roll ..what a way to go..extremely awesome..The best electric guitar player that ever lived and singer..the sound goes on ..RIP Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Someone please make a movie about Stevie. I don’t know why they haven’t. They put queen out there but I can’t believe they didn’t put Stevie and he was really awesome
Such an interesting life; 13 year old slipping out at night to play in clubs, with or without Jimmie; playing with the greats, chance meeting with Jackson Browne, genius while impaired and triumphant and spreading love and music when clean-and then...we get to enjoy him forever
I love the way he comes back in at 3:11. Nobody mentions it much but I love stevie’s sense of dynamics. He could play soft passages with such delicacy, which of course contrasted with his ripping passages.
I know right I had a 61 epi coronet super rare model worth mucho bucks I only paid 40 bucks at a yard sale off og owner lol didn't know what id bought anyway same here I loved playin it but terrified of scratchin her she played so sweet miss her everyday I play
yep but he had some amazing Fender technicians that replaced the neck so many times that it wouldnt take it another time, and he had to retire #1 , and the average guitar is not made to withstand that abuse, he like others have them reinforced and put on durable high quality parts. Stevie actually broke the neck on a martin 12 string acoustic that he had borrowed for an MTV special, and his hands were so strong he snapped it right in half , from what i read in his biography of his life. Now thats intense
If you have a workhorse strat, experiment with doing this at home on nice plush carpet. Start gentle. You'll find that a strat can take a monstorous beating, and, sometimes, in the moment, when you're going through a really tough time, you'll have a sort of mojo takeover of what you're doing make you commit domestic assault on your guitar like this live at a show. It's actually a really cathartic feeling.
I saw SRV twice, the man was incredible! Almost saw him a 3rd time with Jeff Beck, but the prices to scalp tickets were insane, then he died not long after. I’ve regretted missing that show ever since.
‘As my guitar tech gently weeps’ is the alternate title to this version.
Talk about job security!!, Rene had it...til he didn't...
That's pretty funny
Maybe in a a
Maybe in a alternate universe... LoL
But that Tech h a d the SRV neck repaired, restrung, and tuned by time Stevie finished Lenny.
SRV beautiful talented humble funny sexy loved and missed this band is 🔥 RIP Stevie you are loved and missed ❤
I love how the drummer and bass player are keeping it together while they just let him blast off into space.
They serve the music
how they hold the speed is amazing

Im not sure he Caim back.....
I miss those guys playing together tho
There was just something so incredibly sexy about this man when he played. Love him to pieces. ❤
SRV is the only guy on the planet who can literally toss a guitar on the ground, kick it, throw it around and still make it sound good.
Buddy guy was doing that many years before lol
You mean like Jimi?
hey well, jimi did it first so

got lucky enough to see him 5 times. once with jeff beck greatest guitar show ever imo. fire meets the fury tour
Oh my dear God..amazing.. 😮😊😢Stevie ❤ R.I.P
The Fender Stratocaster, the Nokia of guitars.
About right there my friend. I've serviced, repaired and rebuilt a fair few Stratocasters and indeed Telecasters in my time. Only one was a write off but it was belted into a concrete stage block (with very spectacular results indeed) and to be fair, nothing was going to survive that. Oh and for the haters before you reply, that one was an inexpensive copy. In my limited but colorful career working as a tech I only ever really got nervous once, when a Gibson Les Paul was thrown off stage in my general direction. Caught that one with my face which was a little uncomfortable but it saved the guitar. If it was a Strat I would have just ducked, it would have lived ;)

Sanad Khalid , Texas specials are the only way to go for SRV tone. Those guys are probably the most iconic single coil players, clapton too. As far as Gilmore's tone, it's in his fingers, not the pu's lol. But he played a mix of a custom Seymour on the bridge and some 70s(not sure what year) Fender customs for the other 2. But the one consistency about all their pu's - NON- Noiseless !!!!!
SRVHe coukd really make that guitar sing. He really tortured it just like Jimi. Both gone and not to be forgotten.
Walk in to your local guitar shop. Pick up a really nice guitar. Then say do you mind if I give it a go? Then start playing this.
I’ve worked for Guitar Center almost 4 years now, and honestly if I saw someone doing this I wouldn’t even be mad or kick them out.
@@dylanharris9131 You would if you owned the place.
I daydream about that sometimes
Will R I daydream about that all the times
Buy it ahead of time secretly and absolutely trash it in front of the rest of the workers who didn't know
When SRV met Jimi in Heaven, Jimi went "Damn, dude."
SRV tried and wanted so bad to be Hendrix and wasn't even kinda close. Without hendrix SRV would have been nothing. SRV is way overrated.
What instrument do you play Zero ???
Oh excuse me
Oh, excuse me, Sub Zero, which means less than zero. Oh, and by the way .... you had some typos in your comment.

Stevie and his #1 59' strat were definitely linked together spiritually. Maybe the whole crossroads thing really is true.
his strat actually isint actually a 59. its a 63 body and a 62 neck. the reason people think its a 59 is because it has 59 pickups.
