Stevie Ray Vaughan Life Without You Live In Cotton Club 1080P 

High off his ass, fucked up so much that he could barely form a cogent thought, played better than the most proficient sober guitarist alive. Made clear mistakes, doesn't even make a fuck. My god, this is the epitome of music. I've listen to this song hundreds of times and still get watery eyes. Thank you, SRV.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the Pavarotti of the Chtlin circuit... The smoothest cat in any alley... My Man. My man Stevie...

He did everything you could do to a guitar and then God took him

I was lucky enough to have seen SRV in concert 14 times. Never saw a bad show.

In my opinion He is the best guitar player! We brazilians love listening to his songs. I am a big fan of his.

Even the band members were in awe of his talent. Anybody who says he wasn't the best ever, wanna fight about?

32 years gone, but his music still lives till this day

Played so savage and so effortlessly and still full of deep soul and compassion..he truly was blessed by God

You can't teach anyone how to play like Stevie played, he not only was a technical master, but no one, and I mean NO ONE, played with so much of their entire being as he did. I feel very fortunate to have seen him before his passing, it was in Sacramento, CA at the Cal-Expo fairgrounds, August 19, 1983 Texas Flood Tour, on the race track, he was a last minute replacement at a Sammy Hagar headlined concert with Bryan Adams and opened with Y&T. Adams cancelled like the day before and Stevie and Double Trouble replaced him. No one had a clue what was going to happen. Bill Graham of Bill Graham Presents, came out on stage after a rousing performance by Y&T and announced that Bryan was unable to make it (no reason was given) a collective sigh from largely female, came out. Then he said he wanted to introduce a great blues guitar player from Texas, Stevie Ray Vaughan and his band, Double Trouble. I swear as the earth is round, some people never heard of him, I had, and was excited, excited so much I left my Girlfriend in the stands and went down onto the track right up to the front where he was. What a great show, he played many tunes and least two encores, the concert opened with Testify, So Excited,and Voodoo Chile. Some of the others were; Mary Had a Little Lamb, Texas Flood, Pride and Joy, Love Struck Baby and Dirty Pool. The end of the set was Little Wing / Third Stone from the Sun. He played six or seven more during the encores. I found out later by one of the road crew guys that Sammy told him to play as long as he wanted, the Red Rocker knew how special he was. During the set is saw The entire band of Y&T on stage left watching in awe, and even Sammy and his Bass player Bill Church were back there for most of it. I'll never forget it.

He does seem more popular now 30+ years after been gone. Never a day goes by where I dont hear or think of him.

Im just glad he was able to go clean and sober before he died, he still played amazingly the whole time.........R.I.P,

How does one compare? During this period of his short-lived life, he was higher than the Empire State, yet produced some of the most emotionally-inducive, heart-wrenching vocals playing his entire career had yet to offer before. At his WORST, this is the result. Absolutely mind-wrenching, gut-churning emotion as raw, as uncut as they may or could come; my god, to listen to this is as an entire orchestra from source was one man behest. To hell with technical errors... okay, so he was half off his rocker playing high, right? Who, bloody, who could possibly mmick that massive feeling and rhythm? Who could sober? Name the person, I would love to know? Flabbergasted he did any audience who may trapse upon this by chance, because they're in for the largest thrill-ride of their entire life musically.

His fingers were shredded.Goat.Love you SRV.

Met him in 85 outside of Constitution Hall in DC. He signed SRV on my hat. What a great humble man he was, and a superb musician and performer.

I sure miss SRV I have never gotten over the loss of a true friend to all.

👑👑🎸🎸 Stevie was simply THE GREATEST!!!!! I make no apologies for this statement. He took not just blues to another level but he brought it to a whole new audience. He did this at a time when individuals like Eddie Van Halen, Randy Roads, and band's like Led Zeppelin,Van Halen, Judas Priest, and others were on top. His passing left such a void in not just the hearts of those who loved him but it denied others the opportunity to see, hear and experience just how good he was!!!! This song and Tin Pan Alley live with Johnny Copeland are maybe the two best live songs he did.

"We all thank you" "Reese Wynans on the keyboards, Tommy Shannon on the Bass, Chris Layton on Drums, My name Is SRV and we are Double Trouble"

Holy Fuck I just noticed those calluses on Stevie’s fingers when he speaks to the crowd. He didn’t just play the guitar he became one with it 🎸 Thank you for all the Love you gave us Stevie, it’s still reverberating all these years later. 💫✨

Am i the only one hearing bold as love in the solo

Every time they put up a new video release it's like finding treasure,there will never be another.

I think this is my favorite version of his song! God I wish he was still here giving us more great music! RIP Stevie!

They should make a movie of his life with Tom Hardy as SRV. I think would be awesome.

Nobody understands this is talent!! Can't be replaced with computers.

6:30 Was searching for the sound and found it. You can see his face light up. That double bend is so powerful, the way him and his bassist confirm that in their excitement. Amazing.

This has to be the definitive version of this song. Stevie was so talented, he's on a completely different level than most guitarists. The world lost something special, when he passed.

Now this angel is playing in heaven, thank you for your music.

God Bless the man who could play behind his back better than most jack-offs can play in front of their bedroom mirror. R.I.P. Stevie. Love you.

At 8:00 man, thats dedication, the blisters and callouses on his fingers are elite. True master of his craft and certaintly not by luck.

what a force of nature!!! they'll never be another one like SRV rest in peace stevie

It's 6:15 A.M. right now in Hollywood. CA and it shows ....everyone is still sleeping .... why hasn't anyone made a movie on SRV and serious trouble? Yet they remake trash movies and hardly ever come up with original ideas for movies anymore ...yet this would be an amazing story told about someone who led such an amazing and incredible life! Would easily gross 200 Million +

Saw him once when I was a teenager , first concert ever ! GOAT !!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

3:08....this is the most gut-wrenching, moving solo I have ever heard...Pink Floyd's "Time" solo is right there with it....it's that bent note on the 4th fret....God I cant think of any note that hits me that hard every time

There ain't never gonna be another man like SRV

That smile around 6:40 man. This video helped me get through losing my grandma Linda. It fit well because in the world of hell I lived in between mom and dad she was an angel to me. Thank god for stevie ray vaughan. That man was a gift to man kind and he didn't even know it.

With hindsight, at that moment I bet those people had absolutely no idea how lucky and privileged they were to be able to witness this live.

Since that horrible day, I haven’t been able to hear this without tears. RIP SRV

30 years ago today. You may be gone, but your music lives on forever. R.I.P. Stevie

I have never seen nor heard such a great guitar solo like this before. I am a fan of Prince, SRV, Santana, Eddie Hazel, Clapton & Hendrix in which I have seen them solo, but this here is on another level😁

I wonder if anyone seeing him live ever really knew what they were seeing? 1 in a billion talent!

Pause at 8:00 and take a look at his fretting hand. haha Incredible.

30 years ago today and I’m still here.

the way he sings “the angels have waited, now they have there way” on this performance gives me chills every time and then just rips into the solo. so much soul it rly gets me every time

He left us way to soon, what a loss to the music world. He made you feel his pain in that guitar solo.

Underrated! R.I.P. Man with a message and not just a typical message but a note from the heart.

Phenomenal..Stevie Ray Vaughan is the Best on Blue's and Rock..great singer and song writer..great on the Strat..A LEGEND

Didn't hear about SRV till just after he died. A bunch of us were sitting around talking about who the best Rock /R&B guitarists were. I threw out Clapton, Eddie Hazel from Funkadelic, Hendrix, Terry Kath of Chicago. Then my bass player brother and my drummer buddy said, "Nope; Stevie Ray Vaughan". I said, "Who?" The looked at each other like I was from another planet. The drummer gave me a cassette. All I can say is forgive me; I'm a sax player. SRV is the bleepin' MAN!

Simply The Greatest

I actually started shedding tears about 4 minutes in. SRV had the biggest impact on the world. spread the love.

Finding different versions of his songs live makes me feel like the Beatles’ anthology did.

I was fortunate to see SRV at the Tower Theater in Philly. Front row just right of center. He saw me freaking out and came over and played several songs six feet in front of me and smiled the entire time with guitar faces and of course I about shit my pants. Thank you SRV. Best concert of my life.

He expresses feelings about his guitar like no other.

This is the best version of this I've ever seen so far !!! .... I know he wasn't living clean , but Damm I'm a Guitarist who loves all kinds of stuff and he was on fire here !!!🎸🎶🔥🔥🔥

Out of this world greatness ! His playing was phenomenal. Man literally played his fingers off!.. Stevie you were God's guitar playing gift to us all❣And we thank you..🎸I hope and pray you reap your praise and reward in heaven above.. Would give my soul to have you back~~ missed and loved still💖

In Our Lifetime we have seen guitarist we have seen blues singers we have seen rock and roll singers but nobody's ever going to know what music is to the soul like Stevie Ray Vaughan sing it

Never saw Stevie alive...this 1985 could have been the moment...I was in the army then...afterwards all I can say that I missed the best show on my life...and I know never ever will see anything like that...

The way Stevie and Tommy had a laugh at Whipper's drumming at 7:00 is just amazing. They obviously loved playing together so much.

Wow talk about goosebumps

This is one of those songs that actually makes me want to cry. I wish I could.

Even after Stevie got sober, I believe had he knew (premonition), that he was not long for this world. May God Bless you and keep you Forever SRV...Thank You for leaving us the gift of You...Words and Music to our Ears (Heads), Hearts and Souls

So true, love his message..... Thanks for 'Passing by,'....'We all have missed you', Mr Vaughan.

Someone else said it and t have to say it again , Stevie was a True showman!!!..... And I'll add he knew it. Just like he knew he was Awesome and that's got to be a great feeling 😁

"I think of Stevie every day, many times a day." Chris Layton He may not be here with us like he once was, but he's here in our hearts. love ya, Stevie.❤

SRV s signature lick,his hope for a better future for everyone !!Well Stevie we felt it,thanks mate we fully miss ya

Stevie. The Hendrix of Blues Rock. He adored Jimi as we know. And Jimi, I think is proud of him. I am. And We are. A song that will live for 100 years. Maybe longer. Itt's all we got. It's all we need. SRV Forever.

Brilliant my absolutely favourite guitarist sadly missed but never forgotten

Love how the tempo is all lax

Stevie still surprises me... even though he mostly plays pentatonics, I sometimes see videos like this one and then I remember why he was something else

if youre depressed, go to 6:22. watch it.

8 min mark ..look at his fingers!..thats the dedication that getting to this level of skill entails!...so much respect!..they look worn to the bone!

We all miss you, Stevie Ray...From Austin, Tx.

To all my dear friends I've loved & lost along the way....I miss you!

I never got to see him live but I was a young man working on a boat in the gulf coast of Texas and no matter from Orange/Brownsville​ he got grate raido play . In short he is the BEST EVER

the best ever !! life without you SRV ..

Love this whole show...Stevie is perfect...JUST PERFECT....Thanks for sharing this...And love all your posts...... :- )
