I miss him too but I just dig out my ultimate srv cd and listen to both discs

It always will

Where do you think all this rain is coming from😄

You're a good guy for letting her have her moment lol. I would've freaked!

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!!!

Yep I was thinking that too

he's like jimi he's endless icon unforgettable

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.

*all of the above ^ XD

I'm with you Scott, 1000% Brother!

Still

HANDS DOWN !

Amen

Best ever.

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!!!!!

Imagine! All the people...

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.

Damn Right!

wish so much to live in parrallel universe where eric clapton is death instead of stevie

P

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.

dennis campbell Thanks! Scout's Honor….true

***** 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. :)

You

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

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🇺🇸🇺🇸👍

If u HAD to pick one......SRV....or....Alvin Lee???

@@rickheras5871 My pick is Stevie Ray Vaughan.

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.

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.

​@@KevyNova I pretty much guess that his brother Jimmy knows precisely any of his songs.

@@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.

@@KevyNova oh and he knew what to play to a #nolajazzfest audience awesome to have the setlist this is so awesome thanks 🤩

Thanks man. Also Mary is a Buddy Guy tune.

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 !!

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.

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

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😎

I feel the same way...

KZfaq 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)

YOU ARE THE TRUE MVP. 🙌🙏💖😊

Amen

Yes!

God bless you 🙂

Me too

True dat!

it’s a soundboard bootleg recording over the video, but the soundboard bootleg sounds so amazing

'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

Yes I agree.. he was a great singer too!

Fantastic Sounds like married right Good for you 2

Btw, this was NOT the whole show, it actually lasted about 2 hours!

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

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.

He'd be touring with knopfler and Clapton

That was another level tho. His sounds and feel were absolutely beautiful. Still listening to it today 2022

I agreee !

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

Ticket tasking express yourself stevie.

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 was right in front in of the stage in 86.. Greg Allman was there too. BLAST IT WAS IN A GIANT FARMERS PTOPERTY.

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

That other guitar player is his older brother Jimmie!
