back then I was dating a girl who had the biggest crush on SRV. I worked for the sound company doing sound there that day so I walked her back stage and she got to meet SRV on his way to the stage.... He couldn't have been nicer. He spent a couple of minutes talking to her while I stood off to one side listening. He was a complete gentleman and I wish I'd said hello to him but it was her moment... Thanks for posting this video. it brings it all back to me
That really is awesome and he's tearing it up I believe he was straight at this fest and he was straight when he died. What a great guy! I love all his interviews and him and Albert King playing together. That's some awesome times! Thanks a lot man what an incredible master! On the guitar we play 6 hours a day just to try to squeak a note out rest in peace I believe he was straight then. Let me know but it doesn't matter straight or not. He still One of the best top two guitarist of all time if you know where I'm coming from
That's good that he was a gentlemen. Hopefully blues players are a lot more classy than rock bands... some bands there's no way you'd want your girlfriend to meet them!!!
True story. My cousin is telling me all about SRV's rig while they're setting it up and this old guy is kinda eavesdropping on us a little, I could tell. Finally, he asks "hey I guess you two are too young to have seen Hendrix right?" We were like "yeah, we were born in '68". He looks at us real intently for a second, turns his head back towards the stage for a second or two---takes a drag from his smoke and then shaking his long, gray hair to the side as he turns back around he says "well you're about to see him again". Truth.
You are a good writer. Truth. At the beginning of the summer of 1989 I was offered really good seats too see SRV at Great Woods in Ma. I passed only because I was going to see the Dead at Alpine Valley on that day. My thinking at the time was that SRV would be back soon, his popularity was exploding at the time. Oh well. Ironically Alpine is where SRV played his last gig. SRV's chopper crashed in the fog into what is the highest mountain in Wisconsin. That mountain is man made.
***** Yeah, it was weird for me. I still listen to the Dead almost every day. SRV about once a week. I just wish there was more of his work available. Same with Little Feat and the Allmans with Duane. Come to think of it, I still love all the same music I loved in my teens/early twenties. Listening to The Black Crowes playing Zeppelin with Page now. A friend gave me the cd a couple of weeks ago. Awesome stuff if you have not heard it.
Very niiiiiiiice. I didn't know Stevie until the Vaughan Bros. album and since been a major fan. The reason being is that there were too many others I was majorly involved with. It's unfortunate that I wasn't a part of this because out of all of the concerts I've seen in my life, I would have loved to do this!! I miss him and didn't even know him!! Thanks for posting this. :)
setlist : 1) in the Open ( Freddy King cover ) 2) Collin's shuffle ( Albert Collins cover ) 3) The things (that) i used to do ( guitar Slim cover ) 4) Wall of Denial / Mary had a Little Lamb 5) Superstition ( Stevie Wonder cover ) 6) Cold Shot ( short version) 7) The House is Rocking 8) Crossfire 9) Voodoo Chile ( Slight Return ) ( J Hendrix Experience cover ) END.
Only three original songs out of ten. He must’ve been in a real mood for covers that day. Probably because his brother was there and wanted to play songs they both knew.
@@josearqco not necessarily. I’m sure Jimmie was familiar with all of Stevie’s songs but that doesn’t mean that he learned them all. He had his own career and was busy making his own music. I’m sure likewise, Stevie didn’t sit down and learn every single Fabulous Thunderbirds song either.
I cried that morning. SRV just played By Detroit, I had a opportunity to meet SRV. Went backstage at Pine Knob,no one was back there cause Joe Cocker was on stage. Just then about 10 feet away a door opened and walked out Stevie, all alone ,we talked for about 15-20 minutes, hes one of the nicest guys who are in the business, no ego tripping. Several weeks later, we lost him. Yeah, he was at his best, especially being clean & sober,RIP SRV thanks for a memory of a lifetime.
Me too! There is a large pic of this show on display in the grandstand at Jazz Fest. The pic is taken from behind SRV. I have a pic of the pic but I can’t post it here. Sorry.
Played for a living most of my 50 years on this earth and I still have yet to hear SRV's equal! RIP my Brother! One day gonna Jam together in that great Gig in the Sky!
I saw him at my 1st jazz fest in 1986 but I'm sure you realize you captured in video -his last performance at Jazz Fest 'cos he would be gone 4 short months later---BRAVO TO YOU DUDE FOR GIVING US THIS TREASURED MOMENT--AN ABUNDANCE OF THANKS FROM ME & MANY OTHERS
While spending the night in Memphis I can't help but remember all the hundreds of bands and musicians I've seen Steve was the best! It's like I can hear him playing down at Mud Island tonight! The most memorable concerts I ever seen.
Holy time traveler... What kind of camera was this shot on in 1990 to deliver this kind of quality, sound and BADASS effects at the end?!! And thanks for sharing... Where's your portal??!!
I know. it sounds like he is plugged into the mixing board but then Stevie did crank everything to 10 so there is no way to not hear it and the bass is slamming, drums a little week but Layton would need to play with some heavy sticks to keep up, at least on this one.
First time I've seen this concert! So great to catch more SRV...such a dynamic player. Underrated as a singer, too, I think. My favorite blues guitarist, yours as well?
Hell yah my all time favorite 💪. Especially this Marry Had A Little Lamb version. OMG never did he play it so well until now in this video. Can't get over his clean Reverb in the beginning of his solo. Ugh just an amazing soul lost way too early. RIP STEVIE 💔😢🙏
Ben Stevie was trying to be Jimi. He studied his technique constantly. I’ve seen Stevie on his hands and knees fine tuning an amp so he would get just the right feedback to do a Hendrix cover.
Saw Tommy Shannon in a small club in Austin called Antone's in 2017 and I asked if he would sign a pickguard I brought a long. He said sure... Sit down over there and I will join you. As I got there early before he performed that night. Tommy has a neurological condition. He takes medicine in order to play guitar now. He comes over to me and says he just took his medication and it takes about 20 mins to kick in. It even effected the way he signs autographs. So he sat there eating a tuna sandwich while I drank a beer. He said he needed to wait to sign the pickguard... So it gave me a good fifteen minutes to ask him questions. I mentioned how I saw him at my college in '84 and was big fan back then. I also spoke to him about how I sometimes think about how we lost about 6 albums in that helicopter crash. There are songs we will never get to hear. I told how i bum out when I think about it. I try to play all the old songs over and over. Its nice to hear a live recording as crude as this just because of the idiosycrocies that are part of a recording like this. Thanks for posting.

Pedro- my mom pointed it out so well: she said “ he had a smile to his playing”. She always told me “ why do you always listen to that “ ugly noise “ meaning Jimi Hendrix. 25-30 years later I know what she was talking about. Not too many musicians have a smile to their playing. I think that is what draws me in to Stevie Ray’s music Ramsay Lewis is another musician who has a smile in his playing. IMHO
I think its awesome how Stevie didnt mind sharing the spot light. Almost like he wants to jam more than he wants to be famous. And you got to give credit to a guitar player who has the guts to do a sol in front of SRV
This. Stevie, Tommy, Chris , Reese.. I’m poor. It would be hard to choose between Stevie and food. I’m old, so I'd see Stevie. He brought my girls and I and still brings me so much joy - people like Stevie just don’t come around every day. For me, it’s important to recognize when they do. I was allegedly a talented artist. With paint, not sound. Allegedly still am. But it’s a small skill - and then there is brilliance. I have decent small skilled that’s all. I’m a weak candle of that. Stevie was a bonfire. I love him.
WOW 😳.. I miss you Stevie. I could not wait to get released from my first break in AIT in TX, as a young black soldier in 84, to buy his cassette, the rest is history.
@@fishouttawtr Whooa, 84-87 I was in Illeshiem, Germany. I spent most of my career at Fort Hood, wouldn't change the time there for million. I was there 90-95 1/7cav, 97- 2005 2-12 Cav, finished at Bragg, Big SRV fan till this day🇺🇸🇺🇸👍
@@ThePFRG does it matter? It’s a bad recording vs a meh recording - how many views? It Stevie Ray Vaughan. Yes I wish the sound was better. It’s Stevie Freaking Ray Vaughan. If someone can remaster it somehow - wonderful! It’s Stevie Ray Vaughan. Um... that’s all we need to know and love. But yeah, anything to make his magic better is a good thing. There you go. It’s Stevie. He is good n a Texas flood. In bad weather. When the phone lines are done. When he’s walking up up a muddy hill to tell his brother he loves him. We don’t need fancy sound. But it is nice to have. : )
I'm not gonna lie, I'm 40 years old now and I was only 13 when Stevie died and never got to see him live in person but to explain the impact he's had on my life, I often tear up when I watch him play and its mostly tears of joy and relief that I was exposed to him at an early age and even though he's not with us in body anymore his spirit definitely lives on and I feel it every time I hear or see him play. I just thank God we have the awesome footage we have so we can enjoy this blues badass until the day we die as well. My house is always a rockin with SRV. ROCK ON BROTHER STEVIE
TH-cam videos don't do it justice. Imagine him plugged simultaneously into about fifteen amps, blasting that familiar tone at you in quadrophonic sound, with about fourteen times as good tone as you hear on a recording, with every fiber of wood on that Strat flying at you like splinters.... and that doesn't even begin to cover it. I was changed by watching him play.
I got to meet him after running on stage during his encore of Voodoo chile in 87 in corpus Christi tx , after being escorted out the back stage area........we waited till he came out ........he signed our tickets, he was your the ones that ran on stage & bowed ( pre we our not worthy)
they could have played this on big screens instead of Stones, Fleetwod Mac and Widespread Panic combined and it still smokes!!!!! I was there and it was EPIC!!!
Is that not the truth? Stevie hypnotizes folks who watch his videos. Can’t believe this wasn’t done this year when all the acts got sick-nola adored Stevie😎
Hello God is a loving father God does not take people. Think about what your saying your Father killed you . And God is a Loving Father so he would never kill you. The devil is the one who causes all the misery and death so put the blame where it belongs and start saying Devil Damn you !!
Not quite..Stevie Ray Vaughan would be 66 this year and that's great with me..Time does not sit still and Stevie Ray Vaughans music did not sit idle either..Stevie was a blue'sman and rock n roll and that guitar went everywhere Stevie's boots went..that electric guitar also a legend played all over the world and back again..You wanna talk about miles..Stevie and his guitar had so many miles on them they were engraved ..Phenomenal ! RIP Stevie..never to be Forgotten..literally Were all still looking and hearing you..r u with me..
My God, I can't believe it's been 30 years already but looking at the bright side I will see you again if St. Peter let's me in. It would suck if St. Peter was selling tickets and you didn't have your wallet. So sad this man is gone. I love you Stevie Ray.
@@jonathonfuqua6730 that’s a tough argument jimi was a innovator, his playing in my opinion is still great blues and rock but is sloppy compared to SRV technique, that’s also why I say jimi is an innovator because stevie had all the time to learn his influences and pick up off of what jimi did and make it better jimi didn’t have that opportunity so you could argue it’s from the experience in my opinion, either way two amazing fucking players bless there souls
+Edward Davis He only played .18's for a brief time. He played .13's and .14's mostly, and switched to a smaller gauge in his later life because it was damaging his wrists and hands.
@@JaniceArrington no video, no phone cams, lol, at coliseum, think was 6/6/90, on tour with Joe Cocker, billed as the power & the passion tour! appropriately named as well!
It was fun seeing them on stage together. The Fabulous Thunderbirds opened for SRV and DT in Dallas, up close to the end of the show Jimmy came on stage and played a few songs with him, a very nice ending to a great show. I also saw SRV at the cotton bowl on the 4th of July in front of the Who (without Moon of course). We kinda took things for granted at times, with all the shows and the talent that lived and drifted thru texas.
Watch: SRV, Legends (Complete, MTV). For those of you that are Guitarists or play guitar, this'll blow your mind: dude used .013's, at least in the beginning and middle years. True story. The 'Docu' talks about his getting 'clean & sober' and the proof is above...R.I.P SRV...that's a hell of a legacy you left behind.
I saw his concert at Riverbend stadium a couple of months after this concert. Never forget it for my life. He was more laid back for it, stuck his cigarette on the end of his guitar. The feeling. I wish he'd survived.
@@karlklondike6400 He was warming up when we were on our way to the horse races next door. We were like "who is that???" We spent the money we had besides gas to hear him. I was 17.
I was at this show. I almost didn't go. My friend and I were Mormon converts and the concert was on "the Sabbath". My friend was, like me , a guitarist. He said to me, "We're going to see at great musician perform. There's nothing more restful than that." That was enough arm twisting for me and we went. I'm glad we did. A few months later and we would never be able to again.
I saw that show that day with my wife,her first time at Jazfest and New Orleans went back 15 straight times,our children grew up at Jazzfest and New Orleans.Still own our timeshares at the Quarterhouse.We smoked some mighty fine JuJu that day with our softshell Po'boy's.Thanks for the memories SRV.
Guitarists! check 26:40 when he moves to an open position, after few seconds his trills are going so fast it's blinding. heh heh Excellent video by the way,. best bass playing and recording I've heard yet. Tommy just gives so much just like Stevie.
Stevie Ray Vaughan puts on a GREAT Performance and his guitar knows ahead of time what's coming out of it..Stevie's guitar is a legend too..And Jimmy Vaughan...love watching Stevie in Concert and Jimmy..the band is fantastic.
Dennis King I`m with you Dennis. There are many great players of many different styles its impossible to say who is the greatest. Its like saying what peach was the sweetest of all time who could taste every peach and if you did not taste every one how could you say which was the sweetest ??
majorgeeek p { margin-bottom: 0.25cm; line-height: 120Why should especially EC eat his heart? Did anyone knows about ECs speech that he plays better than SRV or that he is the greatest guitar player? Are there really only two cats on the floor? Questions over Questions, even about guitar players.
majorgeeek i dont know about srv and clapton, but i do know that Clapton was extremely intemidated by Hendrix, the day seargent peppers lonlely heart club band came out, jimi put his own twist on it right off the rip. Clapton thought he was just gonna be playing with a unexpierienced guitarist and quickly realized that, jimi, is the expierience
What a gift for his fans on planet earth to have access to. Thank you so much to whoever taped this and to posted this music. SRV was amazing! He knew...... He just knew. Why?
Why? I know this sounds silly & I'm not trying to make light of your question but Stevie could have been a misplaced Earthling who may not have known he was from another planet until close to his tragic death. He did have a fascination with UFOs...
Thank you so much FunkensteinJr for posting this vid, I love it!!! It feels like I'm in the crowd rockin' out to Stevie, Jimmy, Tommy, Chris and Reese!!! Infinite love for SRV!!!
This guy left us to Early. He was one of a kind and he was sober when he died. He had so much more to give at the time of the Helicopter crash. very tragic . His music will live on forever.
I have seen so many comments about this incredible guitarist and his playing the guitar, but, I haven't heard anyone mention Stevie's voice! Damn it's just amazing! That third song just took me away! It just took my breathe! And the sexiness ....I better hush up.
To the Fan in the Crowd.. doing all the steady close up Camera work WITH a LOT of people CLOSE Around you and the Lens... GREAT F.ing JOB... Very Impressive!!
Thanks so much for making this available. Went to JAzzfest for the first time this year from Australia it was Amazing. To see Stevie, double trouble and his brother is such fine form at Jazzfest is incredible. I think this is one of the best live recording's of Stevie on the internet, just so razor sharp. Rip Stevie, wish you were here XX.
This makes me sad , call it a conspiracy but he was on track to be the best guitarist that ever lived. Looks like the Hendrix rights wouldn’t do so well if he became number one

Guitar playing isn't a competition. There is room for all and we can all have preferences - as in life. I just try to enjoy it all. Have fun! from all who love music in the UK and appreciate huge talent. This guy was truly amazing!
I was there! I was a student at Tulane at the time. He died less than 3 months later. I've seen a lot of great shows, and this one has always stood out in my mind as an unbelievable one. Listen to that dude! It's unreal to see it again... TH-cam just resurrects everything.
U wanta be intertained call on Stevie Ray Vaughan and his band..your gonna get more then you paid to witness..for certain..a legend and Jimmy Vaughan is terrific and great guitar player
Clapton was supposed to be on their with him, but decided to stay back?!!! Hmmmm???!!! Makes you wonder huh!!! Clapton knew Stevie was going to be better and greater!!! Karma for Clapton-- "Tears in Heaven"
I have always enjoyed the great music of Stevie Ray, but never realized what a sharp dresser he was. He always had his shirt tucked in, a belt, you don't see that very often. Such a loss.
I saw him in this tour in indy @ deer Creek low dough carload show 5 bucks for a car full of teenagers when he busted out a groove on his red strat the hairs on my arm stood straight up! and I ran to the stage area .and nobody plays blues like SRV God loves you deeply
Simply the best. And the fact that Jimmie is playing with the band makes this even more special. There will never be another SRV! I hope they do him right with his overdue induction into the Hall of Fame this year

I was there! I was standing in the same general area as the camera view. It was AMAZING!!! It is something that I will never forget!
the same for me in Pistoia Blues festival , it was raining ...perhaps the sensation similary that had who red Jimi Hendrix on live
You lucky person!!! I'm waiting for "Huge" jam sessions on the oyher side,when I see him,BB King,Fats,Janice, and all the rest of gang!!!
Me too! There is a large pic of this show on display in the grandstand at Jazz Fest. The pic is taken from behind SRV. I have a pic of the pic but I can’t post it here. Sorry.
I was there to. having seen him at Audubon Zoo in 87 I absolutley made this one. Glad I did....he was gone 3 months later.
AWESOME!!!!!
Played for a living most of my 50 years on this earth and I still have yet to hear SRV's equal! RIP my Brother! One day gonna Jam together in that great Gig in the Sky!
There's never been a better guitar player nor will there ever be a better guitar player than Stevie Ray Vaughan!
Try jonny lang
There is no best, but Stevie was a fucking monster!
Jimi Hendrix says hi.
Django Rerinhardt smiles quietly and takes another sip of absinthe.

Imagine! All the people...

I dont understan ? You think those years cameras were total crap ?

Second to Jimi
@@nsc217 second to none. Stevie would tear Jimi to shreds on stage
@BTM Whaaaaa
Ben Stevie was trying to be Jimi. He studied his technique constantly. I’ve seen Stevie on his hands and knees fine tuning an amp so he would get just the right feedback to do a Hendrix cover.
Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jimmy Vaughan..both legends..Greatest guitar players ever to walk on a STAGE..whether it be blue's or rock n roll...SENSATIONAL
I'm amazed at the sound quality of this, considering it's a 30 year old audience recording. Thanks for uploading it!
True dat!
it’s a soundboard bootleg recording over the video, but the soundboard bootleg sounds so amazing
could you imagine what he would be like now if he had survived.... he was only at the beginning of his journey when he was unfairly cut short ):
He had just gotten sober. He was killing it.
yea it sucks. he would have turned the guitar inside out by now... lol
Would be in his 60s-rockers are still touring in their 70s these days bringing down the house. Glad for all the videos of whole concerts

She always told me “ why do you always listen to that “ ugly noise “ meaning Jimi Hendrix.
25-30 years later I know what she was talking about.
Not too many musicians have a smile to their playing. I think that is what draws me in to Stevie Ray’s music
Ramsay Lewis is another musician who has a smile in his playing. IMHO
I think its awesome how Stevie didnt mind sharing the spot light. Almost like he wants to jam more than he wants to be famous. And you got to give credit to a guitar player who has the guts to do a sol in front of SRV
That other guitar player is his older brother Jimmie!
I swear l would give it all l've got just to see Stevie & Double Trouble play for just one night !
make that all night and I am all in
porkbelly0713 they should make a hologram of one of their shows ooooo that would be awesome.
This. Stevie, Tommy, Chris , Reese.. I’m poor. It would be hard to choose between Stevie and food. I’m old, so I'd see Stevie. He brought my girls and I and still brings me so much joy - people like Stevie just don’t come around every day. For me, it’s important to recognize when they do.
I was allegedly a talented artist. With paint, not sound. Allegedly still am. But it’s a small skill - and then there is brilliance. I have decent small skilled that’s all. I’m a weak candle of that. Stevie was a bonfire. I love him.
I would do anything too just to see Stevie and double trouble live for one's in my live 💜
then you've got to binge watch Living Waters videos so that you'll make that massive SRV concert in Heaven.
WOW 😳.. I miss you Stevie. I could not wait to get released from my first break in AIT in TX, as a young black soldier in 84, to buy his cassette, the rest is history.
Thank you for your service ❤🇺🇸
Hey bro, I was stationed at Ft Hood back in 83-84, and of course a huge fan of SRV then as now! He was pure soul!
@@fishouttawtr Whooa, 84-87 I was in Illeshiem, Germany. I spent most of my career at Fort Hood, wouldn't change the time there for million. I was there 90-95 1/7cav, 97- 2005 2-12 Cav, finished at Bragg, Big SRV fan till this day🇺🇸🇺🇸👍
Life is so fleeting. Make amends and love one another. This broke my heart. We miss you Stevie.
Pretty impressive audio for what looks to be an audience member recording.
its overdubbed
Rob definitely a red iPhone
True
@@-.-Rob-.-XY yeah definetely an iPhone back in the 1980's
@@ThePFRG does it matter? It’s a bad recording vs a meh recording - how many views? It Stevie Ray Vaughan. Yes I wish the sound was better.
It’s Stevie Freaking Ray Vaughan. If someone can remaster it somehow - wonderful!
It’s Stevie Ray Vaughan. Um... that’s all we need to know and love. But yeah, anything to make his magic better is a good thing. There you go. It’s Stevie. He is good n a Texas flood. In bad weather. When the phone lines are done. When he’s walking up up a muddy hill to tell his brother he loves him. We don’t need fancy sound. But it is nice to have. : )
use to see this guy at Fitzgerald's in Houston Texas when he was a skinny kid from nowhere.. He rocked then and he will be remembered forever..
Austin 10 times
God the fitzgeralds bootlegs are probably my favorite. Lost your good thing now from there is probably my favorite thing ever played by them
I'm not gonna lie, I'm 40 years old now and I was only 13 when Stevie died and never got to see him live in person but to explain the impact he's had on my life, I often tear up when I watch him play and its mostly tears of joy and relief that I was exposed to him at an early age and even though he's not with us in body anymore his spirit definitely lives on and I feel it every time I hear or see him play. I just thank God we have the awesome footage we have so we can enjoy this blues badass until the day we die as well. My house is always a rockin with SRV. ROCK ON BROTHER STEVIE
I feel the same way...
TH-cam videos don't do it justice. Imagine him plugged simultaneously into about fifteen amps, blasting that familiar tone at you in quadrophonic sound, with about fourteen times as good tone as you hear on a recording, with every fiber of wood on that Strat flying at you like splinters.... and that doesn't even begin to cover it. I was changed by watching him play.
41 here and exact same story.
Well said mate 👍👍👍👍👍
I got to meet him after running on stage during his encore of Voodoo chile in 87 in corpus Christi tx , after being escorted out the back stage area........we waited till he came out ........he signed our tickets, he was your the ones that ran on stage & bowed ( pre we our not worthy)
they could have played this on big screens instead of Stones, Fleetwod Mac and Widespread Panic combined and it still smokes!!!!!
I was there and it was EPIC!!!
Is that not the truth? Stevie hypnotizes folks who watch his videos. Can’t believe this wasn’t done this year when all the acts got sick-nola adored Stevie😎
Dear God Almighty. Why did you take this man away from us so soon? I still have so much to learn.
Hello
God is a loving father God does not take people. Think about what your saying your Father killed you . And God is a Loving Father so he would never kill you. The devil is the one who causes all the misery and death so put the blame where it belongs and start saying Devil Damn you !!
Thanks for posting this GEM, and to who ever had the brains to record it !
Not quite..Stevie Ray Vaughan would be 66 this year and that's great with me..Time does not sit still and Stevie Ray Vaughans music did not sit idle either..Stevie was a blue'sman and rock n roll and that guitar went everywhere Stevie's boots went..that electric guitar also a legend played all over the world and back again..You wanna talk about miles..Stevie and his guitar had so many miles on them they were engraved ..Phenomenal ! RIP Stevie..never to be Forgotten..literally Were all still looking and hearing you..r u with me..
25 years gone...jesus. Still finding awe-inspiring new stuff today. Thanks to all who post these rare pics and recordings. RIPSRV
My God, I can't believe it's been 30 years already but looking at the bright side I will see you again if St. Peter let's me in. It would suck if St. Peter was selling tickets and you didn't have your wallet. So sad this man is gone. I love you Stevie Ray.
SRV is best. Everyone else take a seat in the back!
And on the 8th day God created SRV, history was written Amen!
Never heard of Danny Gatton I take it?
@@GeraciBlues Danny gatton doesn’t have soul like stevie sorry
@@bassmansrv9970 Jimi sure did
@@jonathonfuqua6730 that’s a tough argument jimi was a innovator, his playing in my opinion is still great blues and rock but is sloppy compared to SRV technique, that’s also why I say jimi is an innovator because stevie had all the time to learn his influences and pick up off of what jimi did and make it better jimi didn’t have that opportunity so you could argue it’s from the experience in my opinion, either way two amazing fucking players bless there souls
I was at this show ! I saw him 2 times at The New Orleans Jazz Fest. Love me some Stevie Ray !!!
God bless you 🙂
If I pass before my wife ...she knows to find me where the music is.
When the Fender employees were making that guitar, they had had no idea what it's future would hold and who would make such great music with it.
+Rex Oates Just a side note...#1 was previously owned by Christopher Cross before Stevie acquired it from Ray Hennig.
yeah they were indeed clueless especially when he turned the coils around in the pickups and had huge strings 0nit
There's a part in the first biography that talks about that..and I quote "If the strings had been any bigger it would of been a fucking piano"
+Rick Davis yes cause they were 18 ga strings
+Edward Davis He only played .18's for a brief time. He played .13's and .14's mostly, and switched to a smaller gauge in his later life because it was damaging his wrists and hands.
was there, then saw him in Jackson, MS. in June of 1990, for the last time. :-( r i p
Where did he play in Jackson MS I missed it was it jubilee jam do you have a video
@@JaniceArrington maybe not 6th but I'm sure was same week of the 90 jazzfest
@@JaniceArrington no video, no phone cams, lol, at coliseum, think was 6/6/90, on tour with Joe Cocker, billed as the power & the passion tour! appropriately named as well!
I guess you really have to enjoy good guitar playing to like SRV. I have been a fan forever and will always be. Love SRV.
Shit... Stevie and Jimmie??? What a freaking amazing show!
Incredible video. A couple of months before his accident. THANK you for sharing. God Bless Stevie Ray Vaughan. RIP
Voodoo Child always gets me everytime! And to think in a few short months he'd be gone. If we could have seen into the future! :(
Jimmy Vaughn is no slouch!! wish Stevie Ray would have done more with his brother!
I'm with ya on that - their styles compliment each other.
I bet Jimmy showed him half of that
Jimmy is a good player srv is another level above all
It was fun seeing them on stage together. The Fabulous Thunderbirds opened for SRV and DT in Dallas, up close to the end of the show Jimmy came on stage and played a few songs with him, a very nice ending to a great show. I also saw SRV at the cotton bowl on the 4th of July in front of the Who (without Moon of course). We kinda took things for granted at times, with all the shows and the talent that lived and drifted thru texas.
John Ward yeah, I was there for that one too
Watch: SRV, Legends (Complete, MTV).
For those of you that are Guitarists or play guitar, this'll blow your mind: dude used .013's, at least in the beginning and middle years. True story. The 'Docu' talks about his getting 'clean & sober' and the proof is above...R.I.P SRV...that's a hell of a legacy you left behind.
He played with .17s for a gig or two.
StrongStrummin' Absolutely insane. He was so soft-spoken. You'd have thought he was a bear...
@@strongstrummin4078 seen some places which claimed he played 18-74 at one point. complete monster.
I saw his concert at Riverbend stadium a couple of months after this concert. Never forget it for my life. He was more laid back for it, stuck his cigarette on the end of his guitar. The feeling. I wish he'd survived.
I was there also , front row , I tapped his boot during voodoo Chile and he dipped his guitar at me and smiled...
@@karlklondike6400 He was warming up when we were on our way to the horse races next door. We were like "who is that???" We spent the money we had besides gas to hear him. I was 17.
NEVER get tired of SRV!!!
he's like jimi he's endless icon unforgettable
Stevie is the BEST blues guitarist ever to be known! I loved him the first time I heard him!
Me too
I was at this show. I almost didn't go. My friend and I were Mormon converts and the concert was on "the Sabbath". My friend was, like me , a guitarist. He said to me, "We're going to see at great musician perform. There's nothing more restful than that." That was enough arm twisting for me and we went. I'm glad we did. A few months later and we would never be able to again.
StevieI wanna bring you back ,you left before your time Brother.
I saw that show that day with my wife,her first time at Jazfest and New Orleans went back 15 straight times,our children grew up at Jazzfest and New Orleans.Still own our timeshares at the Quarterhouse.We smoked some mighty fine JuJu that day with our softshell Po'boy's.Thanks for the memories SRV.
Fantastic Sounds like married right Good for you 2
Guitarists! check 26:40 when he moves to an open position, after few seconds his trills are going so fast it's blinding. heh heh
Excellent video by the way,. best bass playing and recording I've heard yet. Tommy just gives so much just like Stevie.
Time machine. I expected this guy would be around all my life.
Stevie Ray Vaughan puts on a GREAT Performance and his guitar knows ahead of time what's coming out of it..Stevie's guitar is a legend too..And Jimmy Vaughan...love watching Stevie in Concert and Jimmy..the band is fantastic.
Eric Clapton eat your heart out - SRV truly the best guitarist ever
'Cept Hendrix baby...
Ken Perry
even if it is played up side down?
Dennis King I`m with you Dennis. There are many great players of many different styles its impossible to say who is the greatest. Its like saying what peach was the sweetest of all time who could taste every peach and if you did not taste every one how could you say which was the sweetest ??
majorgeeek
p { margin-bottom: 0.25cm; line-height: 120Why should especially EC eat his heart?
Did anyone knows about ECs speech that he plays better than SRV or that he is the greatest guitar player?
Are there really only two cats on the floor?
Questions over Questions, even about guitar players.
majorgeeek i dont know about srv and clapton, but i do know that Clapton was extremely intemidated by Hendrix, the day seargent peppers lonlely heart club band came out, jimi put his own twist on it right off the rip. Clapton thought he was just gonna be playing with a unexpierienced guitarist and quickly realized that, jimi, is the expierience
What a gift for his fans on planet earth to have access to. Thank you so much to whoever taped this and to posted this music. SRV was amazing! He knew...... He just knew. Why?
Why? I know this sounds silly & I'm not trying to make light of your question but Stevie could have been a misplaced Earthling who may not have known he was from another planet until close to his tragic death. He did have a fascination with UFOs...
@Pamela Garcia: 😂
5:55 If caffeine and alcohol disagree with ya but ya gotta have a pick me up everyday, try this one!
36:22 VCsr best wha wha song awound!
Thank you so much FunkensteinJr for posting this vid, I love it!!! It feels like I'm in the crowd rockin' out to Stevie, Jimmy, Tommy, Chris and Reese!!! Infinite love for SRV!!!
Yes thanks I will follow you forever
This guy left us to Early. He was one of a kind and he was sober when he died. He had so much more to give at the time of the Helicopter crash. very tragic . His music will live on forever.
HALL OF FAMER! I love this guy forever! Legend!
Even on my crappy laptop speakers this sounds amazing. Wish they would put it on DVD.
3 and 1/2 months before the crash think of all that was yet to come!
I love Stevie Ray Vaughan's music, and still do.
If u HAD to pick one......SRV....or....Alvin Lee???
@@rickheras5871 My pick is Stevie Ray Vaughan.
I have seen so many comments about this incredible guitarist and his playing the guitar, but, I haven't heard anyone mention Stevie's voice! Damn it's just amazing! That third song just took me away! It just took my breathe! And the sexiness ....I better hush up.
I judt found this. The sound is amazing!! Seeing his transformation to sobriety is so inspiring. I couldn't even imagine the music he could have made.
I was right in front in of the stage in 86.. Greg Allman was there too. BLAST IT WAS IN A GIANT FARMERS PTOPERTY.
To the Fan in the Crowd.. doing all the steady close up Camera work WITH a LOT of people CLOSE Around you and the Lens... GREAT F.ing JOB... Very Impressive!!
They did this exactly 25 years ago today....hard to believe that much time has passed. Damn I miss him :(
I Love Stevie's sharp dressing, He knows how to dress................................
And his brother Jimmy Vaughan on guitar .............sweet !!!
In all my 30 years of Jazz Fest performances this one is still #1! I watch this one every now and then. Ass kicking performance. God bless SRV
Awsome video !! what an amazing blues guitarist he was !, his music will live forever !! RIP Stevie
Thanks so much for making this available. Went to JAzzfest for the first time this year from Australia it was Amazing. To see Stevie, double trouble and his brother is such fine form at Jazzfest is incredible. I think this is one of the best live recording's of Stevie on the internet, just so razor sharp. Rip Stevie, wish you were here XX.
17:15 The many live versions of Mary had a little lamb always blows me away because of his freewheeling solos... absolutely incredible.
That was another level tho. His sounds and feel were absolutely beautiful. Still listening to it today 2022
I agreee !
I"m suprised Stevie did these smaller gigs near the end of his career, he had been filling stadiums for years by this point.
Sobriety
Jimmy Vaughan is on fire here as well
Yep I was thinking that too
A small candle standing next to the sun
@@luthergarcia8469just because Jimmie Vaughan doesn't play like Stevie doesn't mean he's like candle. Stevie thought he was the sun
a great show for a to see. Last time i saw stevie he was wearing this suit. Next thing he is gone. But then he will always be with us.
Love It Miss Him :)
Big SRV fan and this is one I haven't seen. Thanks to the uploader.
I was leery of it then said to myself it's srv can't be too bad
This makes me sad , call it a conspiracy but he was on track to be the best guitarist that ever lived. Looks like the Hendrix rights wouldn’t do so well if he became number one
Vaughn loved Hendrix

Thank you for this video!

WOW.....SRV...Jazz Fest...bout as strong as it gets.....Primo
BEST GUITARIST EVER!!!
I was there! I was a student at Tulane at the time. He died less than 3 months later. I've seen a lot of great shows, and this one has always stood out in my mind as an unbelievable one. Listen to that dude! It's unreal to see it again... TH-cam just resurrects everything.
U wanta be intertained call on Stevie Ray Vaughan and his band..your gonna get more then you paid to witness..for certain..a legend and Jimmy Vaughan is terrific and great guitar player
Thank you sooo much for sharing. I could (and might), watch this all freakin' day.
Peas & Carrotts was term Ed King used about his marriage 😉
Please don't get on that damn chopper!!
Clapton was supposed to be on their with him, but decided to stay back?!!! Hmmmm???!!! Makes you wonder huh!!! Clapton knew Stevie was going to be better and greater!!! Karma for Clapton-- "Tears in Heaven"
Nice to see him playing with big brother.
Amazing sound,amazing SRV, I can't stop my feet, the best ever,your music will be always with me.
I have always enjoyed the great music of Stevie Ray, but never realized what a sharp dresser he was. He always had his shirt tucked in, a belt, you don't see that very often. Such a loss.
Was right in the front for this show....... Great performance as always. Stevie's last Jazzfest performance.....Thanks so much for posting.
I got to see him play a few months before he passed. He played with pure emotions. He was all that. The band was rock solid. Great memories
Tell the guy in front of you to keep his big head out of the way!!!
Best performance ever🔥 rip stevie ❤️
I saw him in this tour in indy @ deer Creek low dough carload show 5 bucks for a car full of teenagers when he busted out a groove on his red strat the hairs on my arm stood straight up! and I ran to the stage area .and nobody plays blues like SRV God loves you deeply
Stevie's rhythm is so overlooked...
Happily, I was right there, stage right. Good show. He also played another on the Riverboat. Awesome, as well.
Absolutely amazing band, brothers with soul...
Simply the best. And the fact that Jimmie is playing with the band makes this even more special. There will never be another SRV! I hope they do him right with his overdue induction into the Hall of Fame this year
