Stevie live sounded better than a lot of people could do in the studio. An unbelievable talent.

Magical, Mystical HUMAN BEING - RIP Mr. SRV. We MISS you!!

SRV was the best , PERIOD....

Doesn't matter what Stevie would say because we know how generous and humble he was. Stevie stated that Jimmy Vaughan was better than him. EVERYONE knows the real truth there. If you think Hendrix was better that's fine but, your comment holds no relevence in reality. Jimi was a true original gifted in creativity. SRV was gifted as an exceptional player with incredible tone and improvisational skills clearly surpassing most everyone that I can think of including Hendrix.

A role model can break free of addictions and put his life right like he did.

Hello and Good bye to Stevie! RIP Stevie. We all lost a great one.

I want to reach through the screen and tell him not to get on that helicopter...

The thing about Stevie, is that he was never arrogant to think he was the best. He high respect for the former/older bluesmen. This is why he is great.

Imagine the shit we'd hear if he was still here.

There will never be another Stevie Ray Vaughan. He can not be copied...ever. SRV, is beloved by so many of us. Hopefully those who haven't had the privilege of discovering the"Blues" just yet, will be turned on to it. It's a wonderful genre. SRV revived the Blue's, and made it come back to life. All in all, he put his own stamp on it. His own interpretation of it. A sort of, Blue's Rockin Jazz. Watching him play live is such a gift. 🌟 Many "Bluesmen" came before Stevie, and he had such an appreciation for them. If I could speak to Stevie today, I would thank him for having such a humble spirit. His music lives on.

I watch Stevie Ray Vaughan, every day! He was a brilliant performer, and he was a special talent that never will be again. People try to play like Stevie Ray, but they can not attain his talent. It's a fact!

While you are listening to this song, or any with SRV. Stop the video, preferably just after a solo. Then think for a moment, this man was real. All that talent, all that raw blues power, all that awesome. This is not fictional, it's real... *mind exploding here*

Before the concert began,there were several southern state flags (rebel flag)among the audience.Stevie went on the tendon, and refused to play, until all the rebel flags w......as gone. I'm from... texsas, but I'm not a rasist, he said and left tendon. 5 minutes later was all rebel flags away, and Stevie kick started the best concert I have ever experienced Vis mere Vis mere

What a rip off when he died .Finally got off the drugs and was smoking audiences . Most incredible guitarist I ever saw live in concert . Still blows me away like it was yesterday . Would have still been blowing us all away 20+ years later . No one like him before or since . RIP SRV loved you then and now .

Effortless . That's what amazes me the most about SRV . Was like he was born to do it . A dozen years of music lost . Breaks my heart .

We lost him way, way too soon but, we can be thankful we can listen to him in a place like this, and we'll never forget him 😎

Best guitarist for my money.

he was the best blues guitarest ther ever was and will never be again.it just don't get better than SRV.

I was on a Riverboat called the president going down to Mississippi listen to Stevie Ray Vaughan and his brother The Fabulous Thunderbirds best concert ever seen

Willie the Wimp was buried today, They laid him to rest in a special way. Sent him off in the finest style That casket-mobile really drove 'em wild Southside Chicago will think of him often Talkin' 'bout Willie the Wimp and his Cadillac coffin, Willie the Wimp and his Cadillac coffin

My guitar is like " you don't expect me to do that do ya?"

Dead to you, but for many of us he is still here....in spirit and through his music

Bless you Stevie, God must have needed a guitarist.

SRV's playing was magical. So effortless that he just thought about the music and it would flow out. Practiced to the point that the music was just a part of him. He simply looks naked without his guitar. Never lost on the fretboard. Always the precise note. No need to look at the strings. Who today is working that hard for their music?

God wanted people to show the world that addictions and temptations aren't impossible to overcome, but are adversities in which people must face in the world. He showed the world with this man who I have never met or was even alive when he was but will always admire and respect him.

He was so excellent. A true case of a broken mold. Never be another like him.

Stevie Ray Vaughan is alway's HOT! In every way possible! Ladies you know what I mean!!!!! This particular version of "Willie the Wimp," is his best ever, that I have found on u-tube. Not a single person, can be anymore passionate as he was on stage. He gave every single lick, on his instrument, with all that was in him! 👍❤️😎🙏

you know what i hate in this world? is that its scarce to recognize this man as a role model. people say, "Well he was a drug abuser so hes not good role model." BULLSHIT!This man is the perfect example of a role model.A role model shouldnt be considered as someone who is perfect, but someone who is flawed but then counteracts those imperfections by doing something about them.Yes he was a drug user, but he was able to break the addiction which is why hes the perfect role model for anybody

About SRV. Saw him early in his career, about 200 showed up in a place that would seat 2000. After a couple of songs, he looked out at us, sat on the edge of the stage, and said, "There aren't many of us, but there's enough." He then sat there for the next 20 minutes and blew the top of my head off. Needless to say, will forever be a fan. Amazing talent - certainly would gave stayed a alternative to the sad current pop strain.

No one can sing this like Stevie!!!

Still remember where I was when I heard of his death. I cried silently, took off my hard hat, and without another word, I left the job in Detroit I was working at as a contractor, and went home for the day to mourn. Terrible tragedy, unbelievable performer!

Stevie was sober the last 4 years of his life Adrian. He did realize that drugs and alcohol were bad for him and he did something about it. RIP SRV, your music will always live on. I hope you and Jimi are having some great jam sessions together.

Totaly agree. Possibly ,if not the greatest, the most enthusiastic player you could hope to see. This is heart and soul playing. 'Tune low, Play hard and floor it'

I love Stevie's voice. Of course he had incredible guitar talent but I just love his singing voice - soft and then a great growl.

That tone at 3:55 is larger than life. I’ve listened to a lot of music and guitarists and never heard anything like that!

No body ever came or ever will come close to SRV.

Best guitarist that I ever saw live in concert . Blew me away . Saw him in '87 I think at a small college up here in maine . Maybe 800 or 900 people at the most . was 10 feet from stage and was just blown away . Was his first stop on comeback tour after he cleaned up his act ( drugwise ) . And he was at the top of his game . We all got robbed bigtime when he left us Thanks for the music SRV . Thanks for posting this gaukur . Thanks for the flashback . It means a lot to me .

Man I have been at it over 20 years, still don't get close to this man on guitar.

Don't forget to give his brother credit, Stevie learned a lot from him

Drums killing it

How awesome to see an outrageously talented guy own his problems, grab his demons & conquer them. This was a great loss. It must be really nice to have people that actually support you & stay by your side instead of abandoning them & betraying them----and then spreading horrible rumors about you. Time brings out the truth though---maybe not today or tomorrow or next week, but in time, everything comes out.

Can’t believe this only has 1.4 million views - Come On - People give it up for the Texas 🌪️🌪️🌪️ BLUES Man Extraordinaire !!! 😘 👏 👏 👏 🎉

We will miss him forever no one will ever replace him

I have GREAT taste in music....The man, NO myth, And ALL legend...SRV..

einer der besten gitarrenspieler,impulsiv,gefühlvoll feeling inspiriert noch heute musiker auf der ganzen welt.....good by Stevie Ray

Life without you , Stevie Ray vaughan

I know what you mean brasslamp, I miss his music so much. Imagine if he was still alive! Punk/Hardcore/Emo wouldn't have taken over; it would still be the good music on the radio!

Every time I listen to or watch Stevie, I want to go play my guitar and get better. Guess I need to watch during the day when my wife isn't asleep!

SRV is da man! His music will keep him alive for ever!

I ,sadly, never met him but he is my Inspiration for every day I play guitar... I miss him! he died just a few weeks before I was born... I hope I play a good tribute guitar... I would give anything, if he could hear the song, that I wrote for him... Heaven called another Bluesstringer back home... Rest in Peace Stevie! We all miss you!

Its like...God likes good music...cuz he steady takes all the good ones😔

“South Side Chicago will think of him often, talking bout Willy The Wimp & his Cadillac Coffin” 1 of my personal top 10 favorite classic rock songs! Just a great beat, melody, lyrics & story all wrapped into 1

A real musician, playing real music.

if I was a guess joining on stage as another guitar player I would be scared shitless to jump on the stage with Stevie .....He just has the most intense bone shaking tone and playability

I feel privileged that I got to see him do this song in concert. he was a level above anyone else. he would whip the crowd into a frenzy, mellow us out and send us home. I believe he was honestly concerned for our safety and sent us on our way not screaming and crazy but relaxed. he had that much control over the crowed. I saw him five times and they were the five best shows of my life. no one else is/ was even close.

The day the accident was announced I was on my way to get tickets to see him and EC. I couldn’t believe it. It was like the worst nightmare. It was a searing soul pain. I found a place to park and just sat there crying.

I had the HONOR to watch Stevie , TWICE in south Florida. What a rare talent he was.

drummer is fucking awesome!

I saw SRV in a Gym at Akron U. Akron,Ohio in 1986,2000 people and real intimate.A GREAT SHOW!!!!Saw him open up for Robert Plant in 1989 and he blew Plant off the stage.RIP Stevie.......

yeah its all about stevie showing repsect to people who came before him which proved he was a genuine guy but we know he was better than most if not all his own idols

Nobody mentions the slight “intonations” on his vocal. Stevie Rays deep growly southern drawl, and the higher octave at the end of lyrics - almost like a hiccup - I LOVE his voice!! Super Talented ALL the WAY!!! 😘🎉❤💃💠💠💠 Blues LEGEND!!!

We miss you SRV! I have my demons but everytime I view any of these gems I stop and think...if this cat can do it I can also. Been 15 years of drinking meeting new freinds which turns into stupid friends but the new fun is getting old also tring to stay idle and I'M ONLY 36. Long story short is do what you love and take much as pride along with it as its willing to let you and maybe find a new true friend.

AWESOME!

One thing that really blows me away about SRV, is not only is he one of the greatest guitar players, theres only a handful of virtuosos that can do that

i agree. some of the greatest rockers in the world did their fair share of drugs. some have sadly left us but a great deal have turned it around.

Stevie and his guitar......1 in the same

Congratulations Stevie & Double Trouble on making the Rock & Roll hall of Fame... Thanks for writing your music. Mr Avila

My drummer partied with SRV in the 80's, and even got to jam during his sound check....SRV is my main influence,, and I am so jealous that he got to meet him in a way.

We can only hope that when we get to heaven Stevie and Ronnie and Jimmie and Steve and all the rest that died to young are there to greet us

Talented beautiful humble funny there will never be another SRV GOAT

Hell yeah! I don't have the balls to wear pretty much any of the stuff Stevie wore. He was such a badass that he pulled everything off!!

There will never be anyone better than SRV.

Almost superhuman chops on the guitar, an uncanny ability to write songs, and that voice - he was talented beyond description. Sometimes I ask God if we can have him back if we agree to give up Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, and all the Kardashian's...

The Greatest guitarist I ever saw

there was only ONE Stevie Ray Vaughn!!!!

What an amazing night that must have been! And actually his first stop on his comeback tour was at Towson State University on 11/22/86, which is about an hour or so away from where I live. I know this not only from looking it up but because my Uncle was at the show. He blew him away just like he blew you away. R.I.P. Stevie!!!!!

I Love SRV ...I Like The Vid .

This was live, I repeat this was live.

Miss you! I can't wait to meet you in heaven. ❤

you bet , he and jimi are jamin up in heaven right now :D they will live on as long as there is music.

Stevie was definitely the master of guitar. Drummer was grreat

a great loss,but he put out some of the greatest guitar work !!!!

All you people who disliked, has no care in blues. They have pop music

I seen him in 1981 , best guitarist ive ever seen to this day

possibly just the most soulful man i've ever heard play. irrespective of colour or anything else.

I stood in line over night to get front row seats at a small club. Sitting directly in front of him I wanted to jump on stage and play some percussion, Oh man ... !

This is what heaven is like.

The BEST guitar player

never met ya, i was born in 95 but i miss ya like no other

That note right around 2:55 that SRV bends right into the feedback...that's the stuff man!

i heard of SRV 20 yrs ago and didn't care much for him i have always been a hendrix fan heard SRV on the radio last week now i can't get enough of him SRV is in a class by himself no one will ever match the passion and skill another endless legend

We all miss you Stevie Ray

Great concert, I luckily did see.

You ever think about writing songs? You just took me on a little journey!

Your right Drew,he was a peace maker AND the BEST guitar player EVER!

Purple is mah color. I just heard an Iowa band with a singer on this song, who just didn't cut it. No amount of good guitar could save it either. This Stevie person was thee Texas blooze.

I come back to this clip regularly, it's a great source of inspiration.

One of the best guitarists EVER

I'm 21 and I love this music... the revival is coming if I have anything to say about it... keep the faith.

He was definitely one of the greats. I love this song too.
