THE ONLY SONG EVER WRITTEN THAT SHOULD NEVER END.........

He makes the guitar sing better and with more soul than a person. It's nothing short of magic.

I'm a life long good ol boy from TEXAS, in my opinion SRV is teaching Jimi Hendrix how to play this song. Best guitarist there ever was or will be

The 1st time i heard SRV play Little Wing i got goose bumps and thanks to his insane talent 24 years later i still do.

If this doesn't speak to your soul, you are already dead.

This has in the last month become my hands down favorite song. So God damn beautiful.

I first started listening to this and SRV music when I was a teen-10 plus years later and I still cry happy tears as I watch and listen to this music magician! I LOVE YOU STEVIE!!!

Watching this man play guitar is like seeing a supernatural power come to life in front of you. He's a force of nature, a tidal wave of emotion, a glimpse beyond the veil. Magic performed with mundane instruments. Truly one of the Legendary Greats of all time.

It's striking how smooth this guys playing was. SRV was a beast!

Had the very distinct pleasure to Stevie Ray Vaughan in 1985 when I was just 18 years old the man was phenomenal and blew me away with his incredible playing I was just about 20 feet away and at the end of the concert I managed to get the drumsticks that Chris Layton had used all night long and as a drummer myself that was a big deal and I still have them to this day at 51 years old nobody will ever top Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble I cried the day the man died!! I couldn't believe we had just lost another great musician I was sad for quite some time after that and still get emotional watching him play and thinking back to that day when I was a young man of 18 watching a phenomenal guitar player blow us all away there will never be another Stevie rest in peace

Loved Stevie so much,devastated when he dies in a helicopter crash.Miss him and all the music he could of made.Younger than me ....35 ...damn shame.

Beato chi c'era.. beati voi.... Noi stiamo crescendo con questi rapper , trapper . Io , sono un musicista e in quanto tale amo tutta la musica. Ma ,il rapper il Trapper .... Ma come siamo potuti finire così. Da Steve Ray Vaughan,Gary Moore, AC/DC , Steve Vai,Eric Clapton,Senza parlare di quella prima Django Reinhardt,Arita Franklin, Chet Baker, Billy Holiday, Fitzgerald e una miriade di altri grandi musicisti, artisti tutto tondo.... In Italia non avevano certo Steve Ray Vaughan,ma avevamo De André,Gaber , Rino ,Mina , ...... qualcuno di più grande di me,può spiegarmi come cazzo sia potuto accadere una cosa simile... Solitamente il mondo, soprattutto l'arte tende a crescere,ad andare avanti...ma in Italia e anche negli Stati Uniti stiamo veramente uccidendo la musica come Blues,Jazz ....( Il classico è un mondo a se ). ? Ancora grazie. Riposa in pace Steve Ray Vaughan

Finally going into the R&R Hall of fame! It is about time!

ABSOLUTELY! I'm a Texas native & we are PROUD of our own! For those of u that never got to see him play, well, u missed an AWESOME show! Jimi would've been proud to see Stevie Ray do justice to some of his music! @ TRULY incredible MASTER guitar players...taken way too soon, but never forgotten!

If there's a heaven he's there. God made him. No one better

Lots of guitar players play "Little Wing", but none of em' do it like Stevie did

Amazing how he filled out 15 minutes with such grace and talent.

SRV's vibrato is untouchable.

best cover of any song ever. life long Hendrix fan.

Usually, when i watch Stevie's videos I don't mind looking at his guitar playing, even though I'am a guitarist by myself, i just tend to look at his face expressions - that's what makes my day and my mood.

I believe SRV was an open channel that a force greater than us used to communicate through.

Stevie was more than just a human being. I personally believe he was a special kind of spirit. Maybe he was so old and wise that he can only be born into greatness. We'll never know.

He was so talented beautiful and humble and it took me years to hear or see him again without crying the only person to touch my soul with his music it still hurts but feels so right in my heart ❤️ rip beautiful Stevie you are loved and missed ❤

Oak fukin cliff is were is it at talent beauty and everything u dream of can happen here in OAk CLIFF. This is SRV hometown and mines too. So long live this place that made such an iconic figure like SRV was and still is cause I pass by his home every day. And in soul he still resides in OAK CLIFF.

High school in the 70s Sydney Australia, we missed Hendrix so much and then came a god of the same spirt. RIP Jimmi and Stevie, you filled our hearts and minds, love you.

Stevie's version of Little Wing has become my go to version ever since I first heard it in the 90's. He cannot be touched when it came to playing, from Rock, to Country and the Blues, he had it all!! Can you imagine what he would have been doing now??

It's funny because whenever I hear little wing I always feel I need some very large cargo boats to look at to give it some meaningful context.

he was just something else! what a talent!

Okay!!... This just blew my frinkin mind, and made my jaw drop to the ground!!!!!!... Damn!!!!😳🎸😳... Frinkin amazing !👏🏻

I just come back to this video over and over again. It never drains out.

The late SRV. Often imitated but never duplicated. He not only played the music he FELT it too! Truly one of the very best.

This may not really be in high definition, but srv is the definition of what a guitarist desires to be!

Wow! I can see BOTH the pixels in this video. Such HD!

Don;t come here and bring up other people's names comparing them with Stevie. There is no comparison they are different people. Stevie sweeps them under the rug, Stevie swept them all under the rug.

THIS IS WHAT YOU TUBE IS FOR. LIKE I WAS THERE. GREAT PHOTOGRAPHY WITH THE BEST MUSICIANS

Stevie took a Hendrix song out to the universe, best rendition i ever heard sad to say but he could have taught Jimi a few things RIP SRV

Stevie Ray went quasar that day. This is the best performance I've ever heard of this two-piece combo. He was certainly in the zone. How he got there? Atmosphere. Thanks so much for posting & keeping it up. It lifts me higher each time I hear it; and I love to see where he was that day. It was the perfect professional frame for him, I think. Well done for all the people involved in making him feel well supported and appreciated so he could lift off into this beautiful rendition of such a lovely set. Thanks again. I wish I had been there that day...wow! what vibes connected there and then. You can see it on his face, channeling.

HE WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO COULD PLAY HENDRIX!!!!!

I found this tonight and it has '3rd Stone From The Sun' too. Growing up I never liked Blues even though I grew up in Chicago. I liked happy music, jamming rock, Jazz, Jazz Fusion particularly, and Soul. I figured the world was sad enough without whining around. The exception was BB King because he was so happy and sweet sounding and any Blues that was happy or humorous (like Buddy Guy) and I was the same way with Country. I loved all the countrty rock and occasional 'hit' if it was deep and liked Bluegrass because it was so musical. I remember hearing shitty can't-stand-him mope David Bowie and the guitar jumped out of songs on 'Let's Dance' and I said-"That's so out of place in that stupid song". I was in CO Springs living in '85 and SRV came to town and was on the radio with a DJ. He played a short live version of 'Soul To Soul' and I realized how good he was but still did not go see him because it sounded kind of rock-a-billy in that studio jam. At that same exact time Randy Hansen came with his 3 hour tribute to Jimi Hendrix and he played every song perfect so well I went to both shows 2 nights in a row. Somehow I was blocked/attacked to not know how good SRV was-and I knew almost everyone. Then I heard 'Couldn't Stand The Weather' one night and realized he was Carlos/Jeff/Jimi caliber. He worked his way up to being my 2nd favorite after Carlos and I only saw him once. The whole band was in a bad mood the day I saw them, the playing flawless and powerful but everyone was screaming for 'Voodoo Chile' and on that Live Alive Tour he was playing 'Superstition' instead and he seemed irritated. Now as an Exorcist of 27 years I can see the demons/mean-ness in the guys and it's funny because they are such good nice men-much more so after they got sober. Coke is the bad one-Fr. Corapi talks about watching a Satanic Priest curse all the coke arriving off ships one time. It's a bad spiritual drug, like most but the worst it seems. It can turn even a sweet child-like man mean. Satan was after SRV, because like Jimi and Carlos he realized his music could heal people and he made that his mission as did Jimi right at the end. I could have gone to his last show but Carlos was in town 2 days later and SRV toured almost non-stop. I met Carlos that night ,his 1st after Stevie died and he never smiled, and played a flawless show but he was so bummed he said-"I just want to go home and be with my family". No one could stand it that SRV died. And now Jeff murdered by the Jabs. Carlos-nearly killed but he prays hard....

Who taught who as far as Jimi was concerned he was the first but SRV took Jimi's stuff and made heaven out of it

Stevie Ray Vaughan is a masterclass guitarist. He also had the mysterious, intellectual way that Hendrix had. However, he didn't write this song, or voodoo chile, or The Wind Cries Mary. No one can ever own Henxrix. He is, and always will be, the man who every guitarist/singer tries to work their way up to. Any of them will tell you that Jimi is what they all strive to become, even Stevie Ray Vaughan said he just tries to continue the legacy of Hendrix best that he can.

...legend says, many women asked SRV to treat them like he treats his guitar...

In 1984, while we were being bombarded with songs like "What's Love Got to Do with It", "Let's Hear it for the Boy", and "Wake Me Up Before You Go Go", (Pepto time).... THIS was also going on. And 35 years later, what are we all watching? Anyone here about to watch "Wake Me Up Before You Go Go" after this? (Didn't think so.)

Jimmie's biggest fan...another icon of music!

Simple THE BEST EVER! The Great SRV!

I don't understand why anyone would thumb this down?

Rest in Peace Stevie. A freaking helicopter crash robbed us of another of the truly greats. Thanks for all the spectacular music you left behind.

what I wouldn't give to have been alive during this man's time.. I love SRV's music every bit as much as I love the Blues itself.. this song may be a bit less "bluesy" than some of his other music, but it sure captures how influenced by Hendrix SRV really was.. I hope to someday be every bit as good as SRV was and to take it all to the next level.. God Bless all Bluesmen and fans, living and dead.. May the Lord see to everyone having a safe 2015..

Actually sometimes prefer to hear covers of this song because I very often want to cry when I hear Jimi's.

Sensational. What an amazing musician.

Sometimes it is still hard to see or here him , i am 56 old gray and bitter,but my already broke heart run by a battery,BREAKS, He was and still one of the GREATS went to soon like many others. Had a dream one night in an old empty wearhouse heard music comeing from a room in the back went and looked ---yes it was Stevie just setting noodlen around said I want to show you something you have not heard before. I said Stevie you are dead.he said thats why you ve never heard it. I still play it. to the walls in my room. yours truly still old gray little less bitter. Donna s hubby DENNIS ELLIS last name first first name last L.S.D.

Love the outfits Stevie wore.They called the experience "Three Bob Dillons wearing the Beatles clothes" It fits Stevie so well. He looks like a true southern gentleman.

I HATE it when people compare SRV to Hendrix. They are both amazing but for different reasons. SRV was technically amazing where as Jimi was an innovator

He makes it look easy. He was so great.

I saw him in Newport News VA about 1985 in an old boat house , standing room only fricking awesome git a few pics 1 with playing guitar behind his back there is & will never b anyone like him

Wow....all the folks still commenting on his performance(s) like it was new.....32 years later...that's R&R.

Nice... The subtitle reads Lenny at one point... hahaha... Miss you Stevie

Helicopters and Porsches, if I ever become some celeb I'm staying away from both.

He is as great as they come. I do not know how anyone speaks against him,

Brilliant cover. So soulful. Rest in peace

00:00 Little wing + 06:35 third stone from the sun .

High definition? Where?

I saw Stevie Ray at the wax museum in the early 80,s he stole my heart been A fan ever since. see ya in heaven Stevie☺

3:20 gave me chills.

He left too soon. I hop he, Jimi Hendrix, Paul Goddard, Keith Moon, Bon Scott, Jim Morison, and Janis Joplin form a great band if there is a heaven and their new music is played 24/7 at pearly gate's entrance.

SRV's greatest studio recorded song of his severely shortened career. Tears and goosebumps every time I listen to it. When he doesn't have to supply vocals he really seems to take it to another level.

S R V is GOD. Every note is pure magic... PERIOD.

The way Jimi Hendrix plays is more loose than the way SRV played still though two amazing musicians.

HOLYFUCKINGSHIT!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't be Haters. SRV is among the greatest of our time.

Jesus, I’m blow away. SRV is the goat

There's something going on between Stevie and his guitar. He sneered at it then took it to the wall. It tried to get back at him and the guitar tech came out and fixed it.

thank you and hats off to all those that served and still serve the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

See what happens when one of the best guitar players ever channels one of the best guitar players, EVER!??! Yes sir, folks, that kind of flow, that kind of talent, doesn't come around every day. But one of the glories of our technological age is we all get to share in that experience. It's no longer like a sun-burst on a cloudy day; here and gone forever. It's no longer an ethereal moment experienced by the fortunate few who hear it at the time. Nope...now we can all carry it with us for as long as our tech allows. Ain't it great? RIP Sir Stevie Ray of the Vaughn clan. Rest In Peace. John~ American Net'Zen

Got to see Stevie in OKC not to long before his passing. Thanks for coming Stevie, we love and miss you. Thanks for this post, over the top love it.

Jimi woulda been proud and impressed i bet

720p 480p 240p a pixel square potate this video

OMG, what passion- the only thing better than Jimmie is SRV playing his tunes...cheers me up every time..........

Beautiful!!!! What else is there to say. Saw him in The Royal Theater (which once upon a time was a movie theater here in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, June, 22nd, 1984, was LOUD AF!!!!!! I thought it was Great, always thought Stevie was Fantastic, HE WAS, NO DOUBT!!!! Taken FAR, FAR Too Soon, may he Rest In Peace.

Hendrix as only Stevie could play it

didn't come here to see footage of a river and barges. came here to watch a man become a god for 15 minutes

Died too young. I used to love to listen to the tunes of him growing up when my father would play his albums at the parties. I wish the butterfly effect could bring him back.

My favorite song, Hendrix and Vaughn.

i heard Clapton and Hendrix do this song and i think stevie done it better then both of them i don't think he even hit the hight of his talent before he was taken way too soon

Stretching 360p resolution to 720p doesn't make it "high definition"...

I do believe that is what is called "GOD GIVEN TALENT"!!

Schade war ich noch nicht so weit . Heute aber wünsche ich mir die Musik zurück...

Who is that bass player and why isn't he playing in the NBA? He makes his P-Bass look like a ukulele...

One of the only filmed clips of SRV playing Llittle wing, and its all jacked up with awful camera work...I am one of many fans, who also play guitar that complain about this very thing, it serves no purpose to capture anything but the talent that is performing. There is no cinematography points for panning to watch the crowd or anything else, it is about the music and one of the greatest guitarists of our time. There needs to be a school for directors and cameramen to get this into their heads, and I have stated this on other posts as well, its a poor lack of awareness, on so many levels. We are the fans buying the dvd's and watching the material, it should be filmed with better integrity, just my two cents on it

a guitarist by the name of stef burns also performs a masterful cover version of this composition little wing that’s totally worth a very well deserved honorable mention …..

2:40 onward....Have never seen guitar played with such a balance of raw furosity and grace. This is a one of a kind performance.

117 People dosent know anything about Music.

Cocaine's a helluva drug

It doesn't get any better than this!

Finally, I knew if anybody could play Jimi's "Little Wing" correctly and with some justice it would be Stevie.. Thank God. I just listened to 8 bands BUTCHER IT!!!!!! Drums here sound like wet paper /Cardboard boxes.

“Lenny” lmao wtf

Hey guys we just covered this song in our band Red Legacy, no member is over 16 years old and we would would appreciate any support, check it out Little Wing-Stevie Ray Vaughn Cover by Red Legacy

Jiimi and Stevie make to cry the angels in paradise too

If this song sound special now, then just immagine in 60-ies, when God himself played this. Stevie is o.k. but Hendrix way of playing guitar at that time was something from another world. And it stood that way ever since. Nobody can ever come close to him.

Maybe Prince stole Stevie Ray's look.
