back then I was dating a girl who had the biggest crush on SRV. I worked for the sound company doing sound there that day so I walked her back stage and she got to meet SRV on his way to the stage.... He couldn't have been nicer. He spent a couple of minutes talking to her while I stood off to one side listening. He was a complete gentleman and I wish I'd said hello to him but it was her moment... Thanks for posting this video. it brings it all back to me
That really is awesome and he's tearing it up I believe he was straight at this fest and he was straight when he died. What a great guy! I love all his interviews and him and Albert King playing together. That's some awesome times! Thanks a lot man what an incredible master! On the guitar we play 6 hours a day just to try to squeak a note out rest in peace I believe he was straight then. Let me know but it doesn't matter straight or not. He still One of the best top two guitarist of all time if you know where I'm coming from
That's good that he was a gentlemen. Hopefully blues players are a lot more classy than rock bands... some bands there's no way you'd want your girlfriend to meet them!!!
I cried that morning. SRV just played By Detroit, I had a opportunity to meet SRV. Went backstage at Pine Knob,no one was back there cause Joe Cocker was on stage. Just then about 10 feet away a door opened and walked out Stevie, all alone ,we talked for about 15-20 minutes, hes one of the nicest guys who are in the business, no ego tripping. Several weeks later, we lost him. Yeah, he was at his best, especially being clean & sober,RIP SRV thanks for a memory of a lifetime.
Played for a living most of my 50 years on this earth and I still have yet to hear SRV's equal! RIP my Brother! One day gonna Jam together in that great Gig in the Sky!
Stevie Ray Vaughn is THE BEST EVER..He is very well loved and very well missed and there will NEVER EVER be another Stevie Ray Vaughn..He is up is Heaven right now..We love and miss ya so much SRV !
WOW 😳.. I miss you Stevie. I could not wait to get released from my first break in AIT in TX, as a young black soldier in 84, to buy his cassette, the rest is history.
@@fishouttawtr Whooa, 84-87 I was in Illeshiem, Germany. I spent most of my career at Fort Hood, wouldn't change the time there for million. I was there 90-95 1/7cav, 97- 2005 2-12 Cav, finished at Bragg, Big SRV fan till this day🇺🇸🇺🇸👍
This guy left us to Early. He was one of a kind and he was sober when he died. He had so much more to give at the time of the Helicopter crash. very tragic . His music will live on forever.
Sober...Stevie was a breath of fresh air....and quick.....His brother Jimmie and him playing together at first was one, two, BAM ! Damn Stevie was great younger and even greater in this....Tks...good beautiful blues...
Me too! There is a large pic of this show on display in the grandstand at Jazz Fest. The pic is taken from behind SRV. I have a pic of the pic but I can’t post it here. Sorry.
Jimmie Vaughan is on stage and is the best guitar player that makes it comes alive when entertaining..A legend and can sing the best..Stevie Ray Vaughan doesn't ever run out of guitar playing energy..A legend and singer and always gives phenomenal entertainment to his fans..Music going out over the Airwaves and fans can hear this music miles away..Won't never be another Stevie Ray Vaughan..A professional musician doing what he does best and no one can top that..
Hello God is a loving father God does not take people. Think about what your saying your Father killed you . And God is a Loving Father so he would never kill you. The devil is the one who causes all the misery and death so put the blame where it belongs and start saying Devil Damn you !!
My God, I can't believe it's been 30 years already but looking at the bright side I will see you again if St. Peter let's me in. It would suck if St. Peter was selling tickets and you didn't have your wallet. So sad this man is gone. I love you Stevie Ray.
While spending the night in Memphis I can't help but remember all the hundreds of bands and musicians I've seen Steve was the best! It's like I can hear him playing down at Mud Island tonight! The most memorable concerts I ever seen.
I've never saw any guitar slinger play with so much passion, so much angry and peace, strong and finess at the same time! The only and the best of all Stevie! Legends never die!
Pedro- my mom pointed it out so well: she said “ he had a smile to his playing”. She always told me “ why do you always listen to that “ ugly noise “ meaning Jimi Hendrix. 25-30 years later I know what she was talking about. Not too many musicians have a smile to their playing. I think that is what draws me in to Stevie Ray’s music Ramsay Lewis is another musician who has a smile in his playing. IMHO
GREAT VIDEO BY THEE BEST BLUES GUITARIST EVER AND ALWAYS WILL BE, GONE TO SOON, LOVED THE WAY YOU SANG, LOVED THE WAY YOU PLAYED YOUR GUITARS, FOREVER STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN FOREVER.💔😥💜💛🧡❤💚💙
I saw his concert at Riverbend stadium a couple of months after this concert. Never forget it for my life. He was more laid back for it, stuck his cigarette on the end of his guitar. The feeling. I wish he'd survived.
@@karlklondike6400 He was warming up when we were on our way to the horse races next door. We were like "who is that???" We spent the money we had besides gas to hear him. I was 17.
I have seen so many comments about this incredible guitarist and his playing the guitar, but, I haven't heard anyone mention Stevie's voice! Damn it's just amazing! That third song just took me away! It just took my breathe! And the sexiness ....I better hush up.
I was at this show. I almost didn't go. My friend and I were Mormon converts and the concert was on "the Sabbath". My friend was, like me , a guitarist. He said to me, "We're going to see at great musician perform. There's nothing more restful than that." That was enough arm twisting for me and we went. I'm glad we did. A few months later and we would never be able to again.
they could have played this on big screens instead of Stones, Fleetwod Mac and Widespread Panic combined and it still smokes!!!!! I was there and it was EPIC!!!
Is that not the truth? Stevie hypnotizes folks who watch his videos. Can’t believe this wasn’t done this year when all the acts got sick-nola adored Stevie😎
Not quite..Stevie Ray Vaughan would be 66 this year and that's great with me..Time does not sit still and Stevie Ray Vaughans music did not sit idle either..Stevie was a blue'sman and rock n roll and that guitar went everywhere Stevie's boots went..that electric guitar also a legend played all over the world and back again..You wanna talk about miles..Stevie and his guitar had so many miles on them they were engraved ..Phenomenal ! RIP Stevie..never to be Forgotten..literally Were all still looking and hearing you..r u with me..
True story. My cousin is telling me all about SRV's rig while they're setting it up and this old guy is kinda eavesdropping on us a little, I could tell. Finally, he asks "hey I guess you two are too young to have seen Hendrix right?" We were like "yeah, we were born in '68". He looks at us real intently for a second, turns his head back towards the stage for a second or two---takes a drag from his smoke and then shaking his long, gray hair to the side as he turns back around he says "well you're about to see him again". Truth.
You are a good writer. Truth. At the beginning of the summer of 1989 I was offered really good seats too see SRV at Great Woods in Ma. I passed only because I was going to see the Dead at Alpine Valley on that day. My thinking at the time was that SRV would be back soon, his popularity was exploding at the time. Oh well. Ironically Alpine is where SRV played his last gig. SRV's chopper crashed in the fog into what is the highest mountain in Wisconsin. That mountain is man made.
***** Yeah, it was weird for me. I still listen to the Dead almost every day. SRV about once a week. I just wish there was more of his work available. Same with Little Feat and the Allmans with Duane. Come to think of it, I still love all the same music I loved in my teens/early twenties. Listening to The Black Crowes playing Zeppelin with Page now. A friend gave me the cd a couple of weeks ago. Awesome stuff if you have not heard it.
Very niiiiiiiice. I didn't know Stevie until the Vaughan Bros. album and since been a major fan. The reason being is that there were too many others I was majorly involved with. It's unfortunate that I wasn't a part of this because out of all of the concerts I've seen in my life, I would have loved to do this!! I miss him and didn't even know him!! Thanks for posting this. :)
I saw him at my 1st jazz fest in 1986 but I'm sure you realize you captured in video -his last performance at Jazz Fest 'cos he would be gone 4 short months later---BRAVO TO YOU DUDE FOR GIVING US THIS TREASURED MOMENT--AN ABUNDANCE OF THANKS FROM ME & MANY OTHERS
Stevie Ray Vaughan puts on a GREAT Performance and his guitar knows ahead of time what's coming out of it..Stevie's guitar is a legend too..And Jimmy Vaughan...love watching Stevie in Concert and Jimmy..the band is fantastic.
Dang, just found this. I was there with a bunch friends from Baton Rouge...AMAZING SHOW...brings back lots of great memories! One of the greatest ever! RIP SRV.
setlist : 1) in the Open ( Freddy King cover ) 2) Collin's shuffle ( Albert Collins cover ) 3) The things (that) i used to do ( guitar Slim cover ) 4) Wall of Denial / Mary had a Little Lamb 5) Superstition ( Stevie Wonder cover ) 6) Cold Shot ( short version) 7) The House is Rocking 8) Crossfire 9) Voodoo Chile ( Slight Return ) ( J Hendrix Experience cover ) END.
Only three original songs out of ten. He must’ve been in a real mood for covers that day. Probably because his brother was there and wanted to play songs they both knew.
@@josearqco not necessarily. I’m sure Jimmie was familiar with all of Stevie’s songs but that doesn’t mean that he learned them all. He had his own career and was busy making his own music. I’m sure likewise, Stevie didn’t sit down and learn every single Fabulous Thunderbirds song either.
I was there! I was a student at Tulane at the time. He died less than 3 months later. I've seen a lot of great shows, and this one has always stood out in my mind as an unbelievable one. Listen to that dude! It's unreal to see it again... RU-vid just resurrects everything.
This. Stevie, Tommy, Chris , Reese.. I’m poor. It would be hard to choose between Stevie and food. I’m old, so I'd see Stevie. He brought my girls and I and still brings me so much joy - people like Stevie just don’t come around every day. For me, it’s important to recognize when they do. I was allegedly a talented artist. With paint, not sound. Allegedly still am. But it’s a small skill - and then there is brilliance. I have decent small skilled that’s all. I’m a weak candle of that. Stevie was a bonfire. I love him.
00:38 In The Open 05:58 Collins Shuffle 10:37 The Things That I Used To Do 14:45 Wall Of Denial 17:15 Mary Had A Little Lamb 23:16Superstition 27:28 Cold Shot 28:55 The House Is Rockin' 32:22 Crossfire 36:25 Voodoo Chile
I saw him in this tour in indy @ deer Creek low dough carload show 5 bucks for a car full of teenagers when he busted out a groove on his red strat the hairs on my arm stood straight up! and I ran to the stage area .and nobody plays blues like SRV God loves you deeply
This concert just gets increasingly greater and greater..Stevie Ray Vaughan and the band just crashes straight threw these songs and not missing a beat...Way to go..Love every minute of this concert..SENSATIONAL..even this doesnt describe it....
I'm not gonna lie, I'm 40 years old now and I was only 13 when Stevie died and never got to see him live in person but to explain the impact he's had on my life, I often tear up when I watch him play and its mostly tears of joy and relief that I was exposed to him at an early age and even though he's not with us in body anymore his spirit definitely lives on and I feel it every time I hear or see him play. I just thank God we have the awesome footage we have so we can enjoy this blues badass until the day we die as well. My house is always a rockin with SRV. ROCK ON BROTHER STEVIE
RU-vid videos don't do it justice. Imagine him plugged simultaneously into about fifteen amps, blasting that familiar tone at you in quadrophonic sound, with about fourteen times as good tone as you hear on a recording, with every fiber of wood on that Strat flying at you like splinters.... and that doesn't even begin to cover it. I was changed by watching him play.
I got to meet him after running on stage during his encore of Voodoo chile in 87 in corpus Christi tx , after being escorted out the back stage area........we waited till he came out ........he signed our tickets, he was your the ones that ran on stage & bowed ( pre we our not worthy)
@@JaniceArrington no video, no phone cams, lol, at coliseum, think was 6/6/90, on tour with Joe Cocker, billed as the power & the passion tour! appropriately named as well!
I think its awesome how Stevie didnt mind sharing the spot light. Almost like he wants to jam more than he wants to be famous. And you got to give credit to a guitar player who has the guts to do a sol in front of SRV
I was there! Probably a few feet away from the camera man. I was 12 and with my older brother, on his shoulders and I will never forget it! This is what made love music in a different way! I could see the sweat coming off of his eyebrows and have never forgotten it! RIP SRV
I saw that show that day with my wife,her first time at Jazfest and New Orleans went back 15 straight times,our children grew up at Jazzfest and New Orleans.Still own our timeshares at the Quarterhouse.We smoked some mighty fine JuJu that day with our softshell Po'boy's.Thanks for the memories SRV.
I saw Stevie at the Aragon Ball room in Chicago aroung 85. Stood at the front of the stage and he was sweating on me. Was a game changer for me TOTALLY HOOKED miss him.........
Just magic....words canny say... & see he even turned Jimmy....to playin his style .... Absolute epitome of a person in all walks... i am not religious - just blessed to hear all this...and the rest ...
I have always enjoyed the great music of Stevie Ray, but never realized what a sharp dresser he was. He always had his shirt tucked in, a belt, you don't see that very often. Such a loss.
Truely an Icon of the ATX music scene....Stevie Ray is missed by All that was privileged to know him as well as All those that listen to his music to this day. God bless you Stevie, all Heaven must surely be rocking. Some say that Steamboats in Austin made him famous, I say Stevie Ray made Steamboats famous as it was when it was a live Music Venue....
Stevie Ray Vaughan and his band and Jim.ie Vaughan has done an outstanding performance at this concert and they are phenomonal on entertaining this amount of fans..most enjoyable and everything going great..Stevie is just the fan's entertainer and Stevie loves playing his strats and performing all night..A true genius at playing on that guitar..RIP Stevie..watching in 2020..I never get bored listening to your music and songs..
