Double Trouble with Jimmie Vaughan, John Mayer, Doyle Bramhall and Gary Clark Jr. perform "Pride and Joy" at the 2015 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony at Public Hall in Cleveland, Ohio.
All I've ever wanted is John Mayer to cover Pride and Joy. The playing style, the voice...it's all there. Honest to God, if JM just wanted to release an SRV cover album, I'm here for it.
You can just tell John Mayer got most of his influence from SRV. It really shows in his playing and especially his voice. Love both of their singing style and guitar playing.
BetrayedColt im a fan of living legend john mayer and a crazy fan of a past legend bb king and so do john mayer.. therefore john mayers biggest influnce is bb king my frend..not srv.
boeing plane gas , danger! rai That makes no sense. You like B.B. and so did he so that means B.B. was his biggest influence? Not following that logic. I like Jerry Garcia and so does John so that means Jerry was his biggest influence. Nope. He has said in interviews that SRV was his dude.
@@StreetTruckinTitan this comment just shows how special mayer is cause you could only find mayer to bash infront of all these guitarists. Mayer is special and on srv's level if not better. You just cant say it cause srv has the legend tag on em.
@@yakshrajsingh8121Sorry, but it's very clear how Mayer is doing his best SRV impression here. Both in singing and guitar playing. It's not a bad thing, as he absolutely nails it though. Stevie would be proud
Yes he is but... It would be nice if he cared for Blues like he cares for that pop crap of his... But there is most of the money today sadly, in comercial and pop music, I understand him when looking from that perspective. He is a mega-talent for Blues music.
Not to take ANYTHING AWAY from these Heavy Hitters, Love them all, they're just not my MAIN MAN SRV! The Inspirational Masterful Genius, Who imo is in a class all of his own ~~~~
@@yakshrajsingh8121 Hmmm... everything alright at home? You sound angry and bitter. Must be the frustration of knowing you will never be as good as SRV. Talk to a doctor, you may get some therapy.
@@MrCowboyMouse i aint got nothin against srv but this foolish comment offended me a lot. Yes i was very angry after reading this comment, i was like come on dude, no guitar player here is trying to copy srv. Saying that nobody can "compare" to srvs sound is foolish. All this comparing is the delusion of best and worst. It was very desrespectful to all of the guitarists on stage and my idols john mayer and doyle bramhall. I am not that inspired by srv as i am by these two's so it was very offending sorry for that i was very angry, i love srv myself but i think that sometimes people just appreciate something too much and start comparing and ignoring others. That is very offending. Tbh i dont hate srv nor do i worship him, i play that stuff but i wont describe it as "feel' as many people call it. Feel for me is some slow blues like bb king jazzy slow blues improvs etc. I play it because it sounds great but whenever i wanna feel then i play other things i mentioned. No offence, srv's stuff is not how I know "feel", i dont care how offending it might sound but i play what i like ya know and i say what i feel, if its taken as madness (as it was in the 1st comment i would say ) or positive.
@@MrCowboyMouse it was the same amount of offence that you get which led to you typing this provocative comment but im no mental case so i understood that it was my mistake , but you only saw your side. I also got the same amount of offence from this comment as you got from mine. I would say its easier to insult or offend john mayer or his fans or any of the modern guitarist or his/her fans as it is to say bad about srv. Thats a very big double standard of "superiority" or "better " thing. What i said was that everyone has their own character. Saying bad about anyone is bad. If you say bad even if unknowingly offending a person then you should prepare for getting back even more. You werent fair in your comment either. Its like a set system of the 'legend" tag , like a rule that no one can have other opinions but in the modern guitar hero case there is no "legend" tag and its very easy to show hate indirectly disguised by a own hero respect comment(as this one here is) or directly. I bet, NO ONE GUITARIST IN THE WORLD will be called a "legend" even if he/she is better than srv or hendrix etc.. this is what i got offended about , the double standard and no respect for other fans
@@yakshrajsingh8121 damn buddy you tryna write a whole book in the comments? The OP was right. This is very good but nothing near the original. Not a bad thing just a thing
In the back of my mind, I was waiting to hear that iconic thunder roar of Stevie’s number 1 Stratocaster with the amps turned up and tube screamer full throttle, Stevie walks in front of everyone and lights the place on fire with his energetic solos. RIP
Yeah that dying cat note lover. Just smacks 1 note again and again and bends it as much as he can. This is what you people call "talent"?. A normal person listening would say nothing more than aweful for that useless 1 note solo. Even i could just bend and play random notes and make them sound like a dying cat and as corny as possible.
@@mahatma_gandalf Hey Sir Johnny Falk, thank you!!! So glad you like my channel, it's growing a little faster now, I have a bit more time for music. Sorry for the late reply, again, thanks a million.
Yeah! Doyle grew up with his dad playing. I'm crazy about the guy's talent and he plays with Eric Clapton. Really wish Arc Angels would still be playing though
You know, one cannot say enough about Double Trouble. The most SOLID backing one could ever ask for. I had the honor to see SRV and Double Trouble at William and Mary College back in the summer of '84 and was absolutely blown away!!! Best concert I ever saw, and I saw a lot. It's a real shame what happened to Stevie. He is sorely missed.
SVR knew how good Double Trouble & was very loyal to his bandmates. When David Bowie wanted just SRV to go on tour with him, instead of SRV & Double Trouble as his opening band, SRV told him to go f himself. They pretty much never talked again.
we used to see him for free on the town lake lol i remember one show was SRV and Omar and the Howlers good thing it was outdoors no roof could have withstood that night
Both guys are rock solid, on the money. Great players, much respect for Chris & Tommy. Ohhhhhh can't forget Reese Wynans, excellent keyword player. .. R.I.P. STEVIE. ...
All of them are such talented musicians but SRV had a way to sound like SRV. His guitar became a force of nature that future generations will be left speechless by. I still remember hearing him the first time and cannot wait to share that with my kids.
A wonderful moment commemorating a wonderful musician. When Jimmy started playing I felt really sad that Stevie isn’t here any more. We guitarists can’t seem to help comparing everyone to everyone else, but this was just the blues at its finest. It’s joy and it’s sorrow all mixed up together, and played beautifully.
Ait was a sad day when Stevie left us, but now it's a happy day that he's in the rock and roll hall of Fame, thanks for the memories SRV and Double Trouble
DBII is awesome. I saw his father Doyle senior at Jacks Sugar shack in LA. Saw him 2 nights in a row. Small little venue. I was able to meet him and speak with him both nights. What a class guy.
Gary Clark Jr. is a guy I could see filling the shoes of SRV. This is a great tribute. SRV is smiling down on all these great guitar players and most of all his brother.
Greatest artists...his brother...his successor...the new hope...AND NOBODY COULD PLAY "PRIDE AND JOY" AS SRV. Simply unique. His soul and rage. His rythm and licks. A blues hero, SRV.
Beautiful Homage! Everyone did a little something cool. John's vibrato voice at the end of his verses was so comforting to hear. Hearing Stevie's vocal softness when John sang was pretty sweet. Gary Clark killed it though. Just wonderful to listen to.
I can't insert a picture here but that would be like the spiderman meme where he's pointing to another spiderman lmao joke aside, that would be a mixture of madness and harmony
I see ppl always comparing Stevie & Jimmy.. they are 2 great guitar players with different styles. Love them both ! Rest In Peace, Stevie and keep the Blues coming, Jimmie ! God Bless ✝🎸✝🎸✝
@@bolivingston1400 SRV said that his brother Jimmy is the much better rhythm guitarist. It is interesting that you know better about them than SRV himself. And when you listen to music in a concert and it is rocking and rolling and you stamp your feet and your head is shaking to the beat - who is responsible for that? The lead or the rhythm? So do your research about music and in 2 years maybe come back and write comments about a subject that actually is far beyond your horizon.
DB2 is so underrated saw him solo twice . His father and SRV started a band together, he also played drums for several other well known blues artists. How can you not be influenced or inspired by your father working and hanging with Blues elite.
DB2 grew up immersed in the Austin blues scene. His father, DB1, played in a band with Jimmie for several years, then got together with Stevie after Jimmie formed the Fabulous Thunderbirds but before Stevie formed Double Trouble. Years later, DB1 became Stevie’s occasional songwriting partner and father-figure (he was several years older than Jimmie and Stevie). DB2 was growing up while all this was happening around him, so it’s no wonder he developed his talents. He’s been part of Eric Clapton’s touring band for awhile.
Jimmy was THE guitar man in Austin when Stevie was just a kid. I never heard him play until now. I've listened to everthing I can find, especially the Thunderbirds. He's a great licks or parts player. But his leads don't go anywhere. Every player on that stage illustrates why Jimmy never made it big. He learned licks but he never learned how to really play lead, to let it all hang out, express passion through his ax. He never plays a blue note, quarter tones, and eighth tones that are in between the frets. He never makes his guitar cry or scream. He never tells a story and builds it to a climax. He never gets off! I love the song he wrote after Stevie died, Six Strings Down, and the old Black bluesman style he plays it in. It has passion. Every time Stevie played, he played with energy and passion. He had all the chops and feeling Jimmy just doesn't. So does John Mayer and many others. Stevie is and always will be, one of the greats!
I get how you feel about him. But I totally disagree. I think Jimmy Vaughan is one of those players that grows on you. His simplistic licks, often repeated, is not a lack of ability, it's totally something he worked on. The time when I fell in love with his playing was when I bought the "Crossroads Guitar Festival 2004", and in the opening title, right when you hit "play", you hear Jimmy Vaughan playing "Texas Flood". That bit is one of the most powerful guitar playing I've ever heard, and I didn't even know it was him, I didn't know much about him. Since then became a huge fan. It's nuanced, his playing. So, I would kindly tell you to reconsider and open your mind… a lot of music is kinda hidden in between the cracks.. under everybody's nose. That's where you often find the most precious bits.
Jimmy has a completely different style from Stevie. Listen to his solo in Coal Train with SRV, Carlos Santana and Caesar Rosas. Currently my favorite live solo. Give it a serious listen
I'm always fascinated by Jimmie's left hand style, because he plays with straight fingers and takes them way off the fretboard between notes, making it hard to play in a fluid way. To me he's always making it look like hard work! It makes his lead playing seem disjointed and his phrasing erratic and it always seems to me he's short of ideas when improvising. He's not in the same class as JM and GCJ, although he was playing before either was born! He was appropriate for the Fabulous Thunderbirds, because his playing had a quality which seemed to better suit their music, which is not really pure blues.
JM is one of the best. Great tradicional blues guitar. Great vocal. Great records. Great histories. One day, when he put a tele in your hands he will be a one of the gods of tb the blues.
As a guitar player for many years and a blues lover, I must say that these fellows have done one of the greatest performances I’ve ever heard. Congratulations to all of them.
In an old interview on the syndicated Blues Deluxe radio show, I heard Stevie say that his older brother was his MAIN influence. Now, that's love and gratitude!
john mayer's playing on this song was levels above the others... he's hands down the best blues player of this generation, just hear the melodic nature of his solo, he makes the guitar sing.
I love this tune rhe way Jimmie moves when he swings his guitar and jumps around with the rhythm ❤️💖. Am going to see Jimmie Vaugh live in Cincinnati on June 17 @Ludlow Garage!! So excited can't wait!! Best guitarist in my book.
It's amazing how people mistake Jimmie Vaughan's approach to guitar playing as bad. More notes does not necesarily equal greatness. Jimmie plays like the blues guitarists from the 60's like Hubert Sumlin, Robert Nighthawk, Albert Collins but has combined it into his own style. When you hear him play, you are hearing a time machine into the 50's and 60's style of blues guitar before Clapton and Hendrix came along. That's his intent. I'm sorry you don't know the history of blues guitar and blues music enough to realize nor appreciate yet what he's doing. But I get it and thank you Jimmie, I feel ya...every note! The guy has played on a Bob Dylan record...Dylan only gets the best players in the land.
you are fucked. If Hendrix was here he'd kick your ass for saying that. Any hero of SRV is fine by me. Get your head out of your ass where everything looks shitty !
@@alrangelal I think you really don`t understand what phrasing is, or that there can be different concepts of playing time. Playing behind the beat for example. Jimmy V. plays in the tradition of Texas blues masters like Gatemouth Brown or Johnny Guitar Watson (the capo players). That's why he plays in open position a lot. He is a blues guitar master, period.
@@alrangelal Jimmy has reinvented his style three or four times or so through the decades; the earliest stuff I've heard of him is from the sixties- a Les Paul, Marshalls, and tons of fast notes. He is, or at least was, the type of player that could pretty much play anything he wants to; sound any way he wants to sound. Listen to the T-birds records featuring him and I'm sure you will likely realize the ignorance of your statements. Poor Tommy, on the other hand, seems to be suffering from Parkinson's or something, sorry to say.
I still have to say what I have said for years... Jimmy tries he just doesn't have it....if you watch him, he's Working!!! Stevie Ray Played! Everyone on stage is PLAYING... Jimmy is still WORKING! Nice tribute!
Most of them held back, you could tell Gary and John did, normally in their own concerts they're moving super fast. John, as we all know, can play almost on Stevie's level, but the song wasn't about them so I think they didn't try too play like maddogs
Well well... we have here the great Double Trouble, who accompanied SRV in his career, playing with all these guitarists... Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Chris Layton and Mr. Tommy Shannon.
Jim Mayer finally got 😎 COOL!! Never thought he had it in hiim l was wrong!! These vatos locos are nothing but Blues 💙 I freaking LOVE 💘 IT!! MISSING STEVIE!! RIP
Mad respect for Jimmie. LOVED the Thunderbirds..., these younger players are fantastic..., glad they are 'blues stringers' BUT... SRV deserved EC, Buddy Guy, Robert Cray, Jeff Beck and any other older and respected 'stringers' for this induction and tribute. I half expected to see Buddy Guy, walk on and show his respect.
Chip Trimble I think it's pretty much perfect except for Mayer. Who better to give tribute than his own bother (Jimmy), his godchild (Doyle), and Austin's newest flame who is carrying the torch and had Jimmy as a mentor (Gary)....my only question is WTF is Mayer doing up there? Those other cats you mentioned are all great...but they were just friends. This is family (again aside from Mayer). Doyle could rip all of their heads off if he wanted...JS.
@@MGMNTmjn oh common, don't disrespect John like that, he's undoubtedly the best guitarist on the stage, he picked up a guitar because of srv, he absolutely deserves to be here, srv's biggest fan and now a superstar, praised by bb king and clapton, he clearly has made a case of him being a respected bluesman, don't undermine him by his singles(which aren't bad either), guy's got the blues and I get your point as well but John is the biggest fan of srv and he's a legacy of srv who's passing on the blues, he brought it into the mainstream as well so that's why he's here
Yeah, you are right. Fooled me at first because the SRV pickguard has been switched to a tortoise shell pickguard like the Meyer Strat but I saw the signature and then there was the gold left-handed vibrato.
John Mayer killed the vocals on this. Awesome. The best on that stage though was on the wall behind them looking over their shoulders. Nobody can play the Texas blues like SRV. NOBODY.
Jeeeezus, Gary Clark Jr is someone who I always, not forget about but ya just don't see very often and then BOOM he pops up every now & again and absolutely annihilates something like this.
I remember where I was when I found out Stevie Ray was gone my friend who turned me on to his music had passed away a few years earlier. I sat down and cried
4 great Guitarists, including Stevie's brother, all playing at once and they don't even hold a candle to Stevie's playing and intensity... Sounded null and Dull without him, shows what a once in a lifetime talent he truly was.
