I saw SRV at the arts and science auditorium in Laramie Wyoming in 85, then again at Fiddlers Green in Denver shortly shortly before he died. He is a legend
Stevie would be clean after falling off the stage in London in 1986 i believe. This is an amazing piece of playing the guitfiddle as Albert would call it...later in this recording....Stevie would have been greater here if he wasnt so high...he realized it and his last two records he would tell you are his best records....In Step and Family Values...This dude was just about to take off...its a tragedy he had to go
Years ago this set included Rude Mood. That's one of my favorites. I sat and watched the video of Rude Mood and learned every note. It's the best version I've ever heard. Why was it taken off RU-vid? I found one instance of the video on another site.
Every guitar player out there can u keep that ferocious playing going for 7 minutes straight, I know I can't and he's on guage 13s. Absolute beast incredible
This may be sacrilege, but I love Stevies voice as much as his guitar playing. I know, I know! It drips blues, understanding of the lyrics and is so effective. Scrape me off the floor! Eh, eh!!
Can't believe I'm only just NOW seeing this! R. Stevie - a freakin' legend, for like HUGE amounts of rolling, ever accumulating decades. Words suck, come up short to put on proper worshipful display of the unique genius of 'da mensch'. First heard about him in the mid 70s from Trouser Press, a clueless teenager, pulled in by beautiful constructed vacuous but grippingly enticing ad copy filled with superlatives. Of course, the first LP arrived and I was confused...but, hey, it was 1976, I was 14! It was, "Phonography". I got w/ the program a few short yrs later because....R. Stevie Moore is COMING FOR YOU. So be ready. LEGEND. Pure punk ethos awash with trippy Beatley melodies...wait, I gotta stop. There's no words for his genius output. JUST let it wash over yr music lovin' soul. Start. Now.
This really gave me a different perspective on Stevie. It was hard to watch him trying to walk when he was in great pain. Still, though, what an absolute guy he is. Some of my most favorite songs were written by him
This performance by Stevie is just so very, INTENSELY(!!!!!) mellow as to melt this old man's heart! There is no musicianship today that can come close to comparison. I saw/listened to a tribute to Stevie that included Eric Clapton and others. They didn't come close to Stevie, none of them! RIviera Paradise, Lenny, and his rendition of Little Wing are must hear for everybody out there!! They are for me.
a rare combination of absolute technical mastery, a sense of soul that either u got or u don't and a musically appreciative audience a bit like a jazz bar atmoshere
Our beloved old super bands and stars are fantastic. However, it is also a fact that in recent years, measured by the TOP 50 hit lists of the largest music markets in the world, no human musicians were involved in more than 80% of the songs / hit recordings. And the computer-generated sound is still on the rise. So let's all support young musicians who make handmade music. Only if we buy their records, DVDs and merch do we enable the young bands and musicians to turn their passion into a profession and also to be able to make a living from it. The ROCK N ROLL is crying out for help folks...🤘🎸🎹🎷🎤🎺🥁🤘.
