I am the British Punk Rock Girl in this video. What an experience! It was filmed in Austin at the 501 Studios @ 6th Street on IH 35 N . We started at 4pm and wrapped up after midnight. The Austin Fire Dept. provided the water for the "storm". They sprayed water at Stevie and Double Trouble, and sprayed us as we clawed along the wall in the storm scene. It was just awesome, as MTV was in its infancy. This was something new and exciting: Music Videos!!! The last scene with Stevie's guitar being flooded with a rush of water was so cool, but we were all aghast----were they really going to do it? They did!!! Whoa! We were all gathered around the guitar, out of the camera range, with Austin Fire hosing it down. After the director said "Cut", I realized the spray paint in my mohawk was running down my face. Stevie laughed and handed me a towel to wipe it off.....where is that damn towel now!!! RIP Stevie

Who else thinks Stevie Ray is timeless ?

SRV's story is probably one of the saddest to be honest. The man fought so hard to overcome his alcohol addiction, and when he finally did, his career took off, only for his life to be cut short. He was and still is one of the best of all time.

so powerful on every level. I would trade 86% of the current music industry to get SRV back.

Absolutely. One of the THE BEST bluesmen ever! I still recall exactly where I was when I heard of his untimely passing. What a horrible loss.

This song may have been in 1984, but it is still relevant in 2019.... Fun Fact, the Guitar he used in this video was a gift from Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top

WOW HOW APROPRIATE FOR TODAY

This is Stevie Ray Vaughn's most original song and it's my favorite SRV song.

My 10 Favorite Stevie Ray Vaughan Songs 10. Mary Had A Little Lamb 9. Life By The Drop 8. Texas Flood 7. Little Wing 6. Willie The Wimp 5. The House Is Rockin' 4. Pride&Joy 3. Crossfire 2. Tightrope 1. Couldn't Stand The Weather

SRV really died to give the other guitarists a chance... RIP SRV!

In 1989, I had seen Stevie Ray Vaughn perform this jam live during a freaking thunderstorm!!🌩 AMAZING!

tommy shannon's bass tone on this track is so fucking dope

Two thumbs up to anyone still listening to Stevie ray's music

one of the greatest musicians of all time

Спасибо брат что ты был в этом мире, ты лучший был и будешь! С любовью из СССР и России!!

Just incredible. We miss you SRV.

Stevie and Double Trouble get us through a lot of bad weather.

Stevie Ray, Johnny Winter Duane Almann Eric Clapton. They all felt the blues in their souls!

one of the best guitar riffs of all time.

Fukin love this song. SOld a lot of speakers with this track back in the day! Any speaker system that can handle this is quality. SRV kills it everytime. damn miss his talent.

Stevie Ray Vaughn is one of the greatest blues musicians ever!!!

I remember August 1990 I was driving my 83 year old Grandfather on I-15 north of Las Vegas to Colorado when they announced Stevie Ray Vaughn had been killed, I howled and Grandpa asked what's wrong? I said the tape we had been listening to before I turned on the radio was the guitar player who was killed, Grandpa and I both loved Stevie Ray Vaughn ❤

2:47 to 3:16 the tone he`s getting just kills me everytime. All the liquid coming off it is sugar from tone so sweet.

I’m 26 and I wish I grew up with this music. So good.

I've been listening to this song for about as long as SRV graced us... Still can't get over the interaction between the rhythm section and the main riff that comes in. It's all just too glorious. This is a prime example of blues being taken about as far (and close to rock) as it's ever been taken, while still being blues.

This is Stevie's Master Piece. It stands out over the top of the rest. It just flows and to me it's the closest he got to Hendrix without doing a cover.

His music is timeless. In the short time he was on this Earth, he gave us some of the greatest songs ever recorded. Mum was lucky enough to see him live in the late 80’s in Toronto, with Jeff Beck and Jeff Healey 🎸🕯️

stevie ray vaughan is definitely ranked very high on my list of guitarists...the first time i saw this video and saw him playing that amazing solo through a monsoon, i was hooked...

Ahhhh, the good ole days, where you had to be talented to be famous. Rest In Peace Stevie.

Inhuman guitar playing combined with rich , versatile vocals with a remarkable collab. Flawless. R.I.P SRV! I'm drinkin to night for your honor sir ! Cheers bros !

What is happiness? It’s unexplainable. This song for me is pure happiness.

I have always thought what would it look like of God played the guitar? This is it

Another Great Texas Guitarist. He has a great ability to vibrate a note like no other.

Hands of steel, a humble badass that we had the pleasure of hearing, for a minute...

This song was released in 1984. The storm is in 2020. Do you what you can, be nice.

This is probably my favorite guitar solo by Stevie, I loved the modulation in the middle of the solo, and it was crisp and sharp like only SRV knew how to do. Genius!

Can we also recognize Double Trouble...These guys held their own against the storm that was SVR.

For the love of Mary, what a incredible talent!

SRV Rules 1-Play guitar like god 2-Write amazing solos and riffs 3-Record an epic videoclip

That would've been an honor to see Stevie in concert, a once in a lifetime thing of beauty and awe

RIP and long live Stevie Ray Vaughan (October 3, 1954 - August 27, 1990), aged 35 You will always be remembered as a legend.

I remember seeing this in the movie Jack Frost. It was ther first time I ever heard about Stevie.

fabulous T-Birds, Stevie, The Who, Texas Jam wow in the Astrodome trippin + fireworks

Stevie STARTED OUT "Timeless!"🎸, God🙏Love Him! I Miss You Stevie....Soul💞Soul!💗😘

By far one if the greatest blues guitarist who ever lived. I remember when VH1 first played this video, I was instantly hooked on Stevie Ray!! That was when artist actually made music that worth putting to video. Music like this will never happen again. RIP Stevie Ray! Luv ya man!! We just "Couldn't Stand The Weather"

When they put the glasses... And the solo kicked in... I just had an eargasm.... Rest in peace sir.!!!! Thank you for your work!!! You did carry the torch high!!!

This is the song that started it all for me with Stevie Ray Vaughan. Hearing it on the radio while I drove my car trying to keep from speeding because the song moved along so fast. I also remember watching the video of him playing in the rain which really blew my mind. RIP SRV 💔🙏❤🎶🎶🎶

I saw SRV at Red Rocks 3 Times back in the 80s, and every time I would pretend to do the guitar riffs from, Couldn't Stand the Weather, and my brother would say, Is that the only song you like? I would say, No, it's just my favorite SRV of all time! I can still picture it in my mind. One of my favorite songs ever. God Bless you SRV!

Comin' through this business of life Rarely time if I'm needed to Ain't so funny when things ain't feelin' right Then daddy's hand helps to see me through Sweet as sugar, love won't wash away Rain or shine, it's always here to stay All these years you and I've spent together All this, we just couldn't stand the weather Like a train that stops at every station We all deal with trials and tribulations Fear hangs the fellow that ties up his years Entangled in yellow and cries all his tears Changes come before we can go Learn to see them before we're too old Don't just take me for tryin' to be heavy Understand, it's time to get ready for the storm

not all the greats are dead! clapton, paige, clark, jeff beck, and many more are still alive.

I saw SRV in Ottawa on May 8, 1988. He opened for Robert Plant’s Now and Zen tour. 25% of the crowd was wearing an SRV hat. He stole the show and then some. I was 19.. Nuff said!

We will always love SRV.

OMG a guy comments on how a video made 30 years ago sucks?????? Really must be a kid. WE LOVED IT! We get to see SRV LIVING! Of course he still lives INSIDE of many guitar players you CAN HEAR his influence EVERY day. Love you SRV!

If I could bring one musician back from the dead it wouldn't be Elvis, Hendricks, Prince, Freddie Mercury, Lennon , just one , it'd be Stevie ...

Damn this dude is the best!!! SRV!! YESSSS!!!!

The guitar "Main", was commissioned in 1979 by Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top as a gift. Delivery was delayed, as the pearl inlay on the fret had to be altered when Vaughan changed his stage name to Stevie Ray. He received it in April 1984, from the hands of Jim Hamilton, who made it. SRV was so pleased, that he used it that night, at a concert in Buffalo. The water ruined the pickups, which had to be replaced. It continued to be one of his favorite guitars.....

Who else is addicted to this song because of the catchy pause? So sad to hear SRV statue in Austin recently vandalized. Guess they thought it to be a Confederate statue. In addition to "Don't mess with Texas" by all means "DON'T MESS WITH STEVIE'S STATUE!"

August 27, 1990 - 25 years ago today. We miss you Stevie Ray.

My Top 10 Stevie Ray Vaughan Songs 10. Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) 9. Little Wing 8. Look At Little Sister 7. Willie The Wimp 6. Pride&Joy 5. Cold Shot 4. Life By The Drop 3. Crossfire 2. Could'NT Stand The Weather 1. Tightrope

also great drumming on this album

Best SRV song ever! Brings tears to my eyes for the loss of just Blues greatness! The bass player is phenomal and he is dope. Sheer awesomeness.

Hard to believe he's been gone for 23 years......

DAMNED good guitarist. He was taken from us WAY too soon!

Was blessed to see him 3 times! I have a couldn't stand the weather picture album!

Double Trouble were a great rhythm section!!!

R.I.P. SRV! What a phenomenal Guitar Player! God I Love This Song/Video!!!

I’ve been jamming with “The Master Blaster” since 1984-85. It’s hard to believe he was taken from the music altar almost 34 years ago! August 27, 1990.

I was just passing another day in my youth when this came on the MTV. It was my very first Stevie Ray Vaughn experience. I was high on some real good herbal smoke. And this shit right here grabbed me by my ears and slung me to the ground and kicked hell outta me. I was blown clean outta my boots! It was great. Been a SRV superfan ever since. Bout 1point 5 million years and counting.

Tommy Shannon's bass is FIRE

Jimmie Vaughan never gets props for his excellent rhythm playing on this tune.

SRV & Double Trouble - "Couldn't Stand the weather" 1984, Hey Stevie you are unbelievable we all miss you!!!!!! Amber and I will come visit you and your Parents' headstones sometime once I'm back with her In Winston Salem , NC. RIP.

God that guitar the hands of god plays it one of the best to ever play a guitar I grew up listening to Stevie I would always listen to it with my grandpa I asked him one day what happened to Stevie his reply he was taken too soon from this earth sonny RIP Stevie Ray Vaughn 🌦🎸🎼

Stevie's brother sure spanks the rhythm track on this one! Classic!

RIP SRV 10/3/54 - 8/27/90 ... and happy birthday to me....my birthdays have always been bittersweet since you passed.

MAKE THIS VIDEO VIRAL!!!!! Its 1/ 5 / 2011 & " ITS TIME TO GET READY FOR THE STORM ". Stevie was a little ahead of his time. Take care.

Legend has it Stevie was playing Paolo Soleiri Amphitheater in Santa Fe NM when a summer monsoon and lightning storm rolled in....storm and delay were just too long so SRV and DB came out and restarted the show with this tune.....storm moved on and all was good on blues land 😊

I love how the song is set up like a summer storm rolling. The bass in the beginning is the thunder rolling in. When the guitar comes in it's like the first raindrops on the window.

Saw this video late one night on MTV way back in the day and was blown away by this mans music. I went to buy nearly all his albums and enjoy them to this day.

I was at the house of a girl I was seeing that August in 90. I think it was the day after the crash, and the news came over MTV as we were watching. I was devastated. I loved SRV so much. She just said, "Who's Stevie Ray Vaughan?" Didn't see much more of her after that.

Another piece of good taste music by the GREAT SRV & DOUBLE TROUBLE

He played so effortlessly; true talent, genius. No one compares.

We need this video now in 2020 more than ever. Everyone was arguing back then just like now. I can't stand the weather

Stevie would smoke anyone in a duel. Steve Vai, Eddy Van Halen, Satriani..... Anyone, he would embarrass them. I don't care what anyone's opinion is, I could objectively prove that Stevie is the greatest player ever and there will never be another who could reach the mark he set.

That tone though🔥🔥

that bassline doeeeeee

How many agree??? One of the GREATEST SONG EVER!!!!

Still listening October 2022 and God I miss my old friends Stevie rest in peace

Saw him in December 1986 at the grand ole opry. Best guitar player I ever saw live.

This song is still as dope as when I heard it in 84' 🎸🔥🏆💯

This has to be the coolest music video and song of all time

This song and its message still holds up, 30+ years later

One of the greatest of all time!

Time to get ready for the storm,and stevie brings it ten fold.

One of my all-time favorite jams, I saw SRV 3 times @ Red Rocks

Tornado just hit my area and turned this song on, put my SRV hat on and stood the weather. Thank God we made it, and pray for the vehicle that was crushed by a flipped semi

Forgot this song existed..... and now I can't get enough.

A classic on so many levels. 2023. Timeless.. and

I was devastated when he passed away, the greatest axe man, of my generation

Oh Daddy... 😍 he's just my absolute favorite guitar player!!! Ugh, he's amazing!!!

There came the time I had to put SRV and Double Trouble away (for 10 years). And it's refreshed to go on with life again.
