A piece of advice to music fans. I was supposed to see SRV in the late 80s but couldnt go and thought id catch the next one, I was in California when a buddy called to tell me he passed away. Same friend and I had tickets to see Danny Gatton and he killed himself not long before the show. And then the same damn thing happened with Roy Buchanan. So when an artist you love is coming to town, go, and dont make excuses. Life is short.

@@jeffgaumond4250thats amazing. I will never sit here and say that jimi wasnt amazing. I dont listen to any of his songs besides little wing. He was amazing, i wont deny that but hes not my style. Srv is my favorite guitarist of all time. I was born after both of them were long gone though. I love srvs versions of Jimi. Jimi set a standard, and srv exceeded it in my opinion. The same way the original assembly line ford set the standard for a car, but it had room for improvment. And just like 1980-90s cars are still amazing to this day, srv is that. Some say there are better cars/guitarists now but i disagree. Weird comparison but i think some will get what i mean.

My mom bought this live DVD to my father for is father's day. I was like 15, started guitar few month ago. After diner, we play it. My dad told me, you may like what you will see. Then I saw this guy, with a cool hat, walking on stage, and deliver a pure performance. I took the biggest slam in my face on my young life. I could not belive what I was watching. Pure energy, power, taste and control. For me they were like 2 or 3 guitar at the same time. I dont believe in any god, but this day I saw the light. I will remember this day forever. This change my life, complety. I remember watching this show, stand up, close to the TV, trying to understand what I was whatching. This shock me, like a trauma. From that day, I was SO deep into SRV. Day, night, anywhere, anytime, I was listening Stevie. Every single day, every single second of my life. I was whatching El Mocambo live, every single night for sleep. Every single night ! He made me the poor guitarist that I am today, but he also made me dream, and feel so much emotion. He was my best friend, my role model, my hero. And helped me to go though so much in my life. This live is exact meaning of soul. There is no live performance, of any kind so true, pure and powerfull. By growing up, you realise that you can't feel something, like the first time. First time are always special and don't last forever. But when I'm listening this live, even if I'm 34 now, I can feel this thing that shaken my soul this day. Thank you Stevie for what you bring to my life. And what you did on yours. You are the kind of soul that can change life forever. And there is no better way to use our time here.

I saw SRV in April of 1986 at Monmouth College, which is down the road from me. I wasn't really into blues, but I saw a poster promoting the show and a friend of mine and I went. I can't say I enjoyed that show. I was intrigued though, by this guitar player who had such a mystery about him and certainly could play the blues with power. I was so young I was actually frightened by the adults there, especially the bikers and goths. It was SO loud, and I spent as much time watching the couple next to me make out as I did the show. Two things from that show stand out to me: I could swear SRV brought up another singer to do Little Wing. I also recall these beautiful blue lights going around the gym as SRV played Life Without You. At the time I only knew a handful of SRV's songs. Does anyone recall him ever using a guest singer on Little Wing, or the blue lights? Another friend secured a backstage pass- he didn't tell me and went by himself- and met SRV before the show. He said there were lots of people standing around drinking, but that when he told SRV he also played guitar, SRV handed him his guitar to play!!! I also recall the security guys chatting about how cool SRV was to them doing soundcheck. SRV was so loud that a friend of mine who lived near the college told me the sound kept him up!! Years later I learned a ton of kids from my school went tot he show. I went through the late 1980's learning guitar and SRV, after a little getting used to, became my favorite guitar player. Let me tell you, it was different then. It was all about the shredders like Yngwie, Eddie, and Satch and Vai. In many circles, blues players, even SRV, were looked down upon because they didn't have the technique, and people felt it was easy to play blues. It was hard to find SRV tabs, and hard to find SRV fans. I felt inhibited by what I was listening to and playing, and like others were scoffing at my choice of music. The Fab T Birds at least had hits, but their guitar player was looked down upon even more than SRV. I got by because of the praise SRV got in the guitar mags and from a couple of teachers of mine. They made me think I wasn't crazy. Things changed with In Step. Sadly, SRV needed hits in order to get the respect due his playing, songs, and voice. Now getting tickets was not easy, now hearing him on the radio was easy, and seeing him on MTV a breeze ( up til then MTV went with Michael Jackson)) A LOT more people heard him, and A LOT finally gave him a real listen. I mean, before In Step, the T Birds were more well known than SRV. So it sure is nice to see places like this where people are giving SRV the kudos he so deserves! He should have gotten this amount of respect in 1983!!! It makes me feel good to see my main man being idolized and looked up to for so many reasons. I saw SRV a number of times; at the Pier in NYC, Madison Square Garden with Jeff beck, at the Garden State Arts Center only days before his death (a scaffolding for a play fell on his guitars that night, fucking them up and barely missing Rene Martinez). The best was seeing him at the legendary Asbury Park club, the Stone Pony. It was right before In Step came out and I had to sneak in, being underage. I don't know why he played there because he could have sold out much bigger places. The Pony holds about 500. But what a place to see him; loud as hell, he was REALLY into the show, and it was the first time I heard the songs that would be on In Step. Anyway, thanks everyone for vindicating my belief, and giving SRV the credit he deserved in his lifetime.

Every note Stevie ever played came from his HEART, powerful and passionate , I was fortunate to see him play Live and although many have tried to duplicate him ,they don't and never will come close and that's a FACT JACK

So much of Stevie Ray Vaughan’s sound comes from dragging the pick across those muted baling wire strings he used. Nobody’s guitar playing has so much guts like his.

If one were to rip the audio from the dvd, and if one were to then listen to this track in one's car, and one were to turn it up very loud, well... that would be fine with me.

I believe number 1 was buried with Stevie. He slept with that guitar . Hard to believe Jimmy would lay him to rest without it.

Wiblet All of Stevie's guitars went into Jimmie's possession when he died. The only one I know of that was parted with was "Lenny", his red Strat used for this performance of the song by the same name. It was sold to Guitar Center for something like $650,000.

My Brother was delivering pizza in 82 or 83 ( not sure exactly) This was in Charlottesville,VA and he went to the Holiday Inn at the time and knocked on the door and wow it was Stevie Ray Vaughn!! my brother said he was one of the nicest people whom he had ever met my bro being a guitar player saw his no1 guitar on the bed and told Stevie he was a guitar player and he said go ahead play it if you want. My brother was blown away. He offered my bro a tip and my brother said meeting you was tip enough! My mother was a huge fan of Stevie and my bro got an autograph for her. truly a star that left us to soon!!!

Music (REAL music, that is) is nothing more than a language that speaks directly to the soul. No words required, just a gutsy narrative that can only be conveyed through Feel (and tons of self-discipline). It speaks volumes of both the Good and Bad in all of us. Stevie was a master interpreter when it came to that kind of thing.
