Stevie Ray Vaughan Superstition Live From Austin Texas 

Like watching Jordan play basketball. Who can touch this guy , dead or alive? No wonder a master like Stevie Wonder liked this arrangement/performance. Whewww...what magnificence

I had the privilege to see this. I had no idea what was hitting me. Changed my life

Stevie Ray is was and will forever be the meanest cleanest player ive yet to hear. i miss my hero

Played that thing like it owed him money! We miss him.

Thank you for uploading this! I haven't seen this one in years. The ACL 89 and El Mocambo are his two best shows imo. You just sit there mesmerized watching or at least I do. I have never seen music flow out of someone the way it flowed out of him.. am still stunned 30 years later.....

He played this on 13mm strings, too. That's like playing on elevator cables. You'll notice he's playing on #2 as well; this is because he snapped a string on #1 during the solo to Look at Little Sister right before this. This man had HANDS.

So fluid in his playing like he just always knows where he’s going without effort..love that guitar “scotch”

His rhythmic sense in his solo playing is just amazing. He just grooves while soloing.

SRV is the most naturally gifted guitarist I’ve ever seen. An absolute titan for the ages.

Double trouble never got the recognition they deserve. Keeping up with the changes he throws in .

*SRV begins solo* Camera man: Check out the drummer man he’s sick!

That solo at the end.... Dear God.

This solo is totaly amazing !

I watched him play this in 1989. Absolutely mind-blowing. RIP SRV 🙏🏼❤️🎸

Pure talent. Couldnt read music and he nails everything. My favorite guitar player. He makes it look so easy, I showed my 1 year old and she was completely mesmerized the entire time. F**king legend

Shoulda had a black cat run around on stage

His comment at the end.... "Thank you so kindly." The mark of a gentleman.

I don't know why this has only had 6.7k views the mans on fire .. you have to crank it to 10 unless you got a spinal tap lap top they go up to 11 ..

I haven’t seen this version since 2009, and it’s by far my favourite live version. Thank youuuuuu

this is therapy

The greatest to ever grace a stage!

God that strat is set to stun....ripping face and taking names

I envy you, man. What a cool venue. I saw Stevie once in my home town, and my face hurt afterwards. I was stuck in a rocked out grimace for the whole show. Never got tired of his rhythm/lead combo riffs. RIP always Stevie.

Great song, terrible sound

3:39

Stevie said he was ashamed of his performance of superstition on live alive this performance is more than amazing it is f****** unreal

Very superstitious... writing on the wall Very superstitious... ladder's 'bout to fall Thirteen month old baby... broke that looking glass Seven years of bad luck... good things in the past When you believe in things that you don't understand Then you suffer... superstition ain't the way. Very superstitious... wash your face and hands Rid me of the problem... get all that you can Keep me in a daydream... keep me going strong You don't want to save me... sad is my song When you believe in things that you don't understand Then you suffer... superstition ain't the way. Very superstitious... nothing more to say Very superstitious... devil's on his way Thirteen month old baby... broke that looking glass Seven years of bad luck... good things in the past When you believe in things that you don't understand You will suffer... superstition ain't the way.

I miss him dearly. NO ONE AND I MEAN THERE HAS BEEN NO TEXAS GUNSLINGER LIKE STEVIE Since Johnny Winter! Yall know what I’m talking bout! 👍

The sound is not good, lacks dynamics must be recording or encoding. Hopefully I can find a better source.

I haven't seen this, Wow Srv was and is amazing. RIP STEVIE

The man had a ridiculously unique awesome way, with covering other people sounds, and we making them as undeniably, SRV music, he is a benchmark or a very high bar that will always exist within music, and just like others to name a few Hendrix, Albert King, Buddy guy, miles Davis, Eddie Van Halen, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Winder, Coltrane, Django, you know…the innovators and legends of any genre - they are one of a kind and each helped propel their instrument & approach to music in general to a different era - hence, benchmarks - either way, SRV will never be duplicated or replicated ever again, and I’ll be damned if I will never stop wishing he had decided to take a huge tour bus or a shuttle to a much larger plane that night instead of a dang helicopter! Bill Graham died the same way, but to all the most important musicians - You have got to be more careful with air travel (the day the music died anyone?) ✌️🎸

power to the 2 steve's!

This was back when Austin City Limits was a good show. Its too hipster today. Lost its soul.

clean and sober SRV just before he passed away

Name an ACL as seismic as this...go ahead, I'll wait.

Nice gem.. Haven’t seen this one before. SRV was a guitar god. The world is a bleaker place without him.

Played that guitar like it was connected to his body

Imagine if he had just not taken that flight!!!!

He couldn’t read music, but he could feel music, and that’s clearly what counts.

Epicness starts at 0:00 and ends at 4:53

The Lord is coming

Those are the things that keep me alive. Legend.

Thanks so much for uploading this!

Just my guitar hero! So fucking amazing!! Thanks Stevie for your passion and your magic hands 🙏

too bad for the quality

after Hendrix.. the best guitar player

So this is a huge find. This was not on the original ACL 1989 taping / show that was released to the public. Do you have any other songs from that taping that did not get released ? Much appreciated!

SRV is just 1 of the inspirations for me to get the Fender Starcaster Strats and play them and own them and to have my initials on the Starcaster Strats. TBE

Awesome cover!

Hybrid picking

Blues shred !

🍺Heineken

On the outtakes video his tone seems the best ever. Maybe his amp had warmed up to the max or something but his tone was very gritty...Especially on The Wolf's "'Tell Me Baby(have a lttle talk with you"'"' Someone should release the ACL outtake trax onto DVD.

Sorry just didn't like this at all.

Source? This song is neither on the "live from Austin, Texas" DVD nor part of the unreleased songs from the DVD of the "SRV" box set. Where does it come from? Another DVD? Another CD? How can I get it? Please help...

Wow, I loved it! Thanks!

As a kid i walked into a music store to this song and left witha DRUM SET! SKORE

Where can I found the complete concert of Austin City limits? I'm going crazy to search the complete clip.. Thanks

He is unaware that the crowd is there. Pure candour.

Not bad!!!

yeahhh¡¡ thank you¡¡

Truth be told, Stevie Wonder's version is better, save for SRV murdering his strat. The brass just adds something. Through most of the song, he's just banging that one cord.

I'd forgotten about SRV's cover of the other Stevie's hit. Although I still prefer Stevie Wonder's original version, this one rocks in its own way.

The man was a channel for his emotions and it reigned fire

My goodness, super tight groovy guitar savagery by SRV on this one

We really miss this guitar. Thanks for YT.

The solo at the end is so off the wall that I find myself holding my breath!

I'm so glad we have video of this great Texas legend! Loved Stevie since i first heard him in the early 80s. From a fellow Texan...RIP SRV!

I thought I had seen every video from this performance, but this is my first time seeing this cover and it is blowing my fucking mind. What a legend, gone too soon. Love live SRV

Which the volume was a lot louder

If you can make 13 gauge strings your bitch with inhuman bends and still sing... legend. He wasn’t making those faces because he was just into it. That shit hurt

How bout the band, give it up for the band!

3:23 bro in the back has his soul possessed by the strings

BLUESNISIMO!!!

Top 5 in my book

Just nails it eh👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Oh Stevie, where have you gone our Native Texas Son? Who will ever fill your shoes? RIP brother.

It would be an honour to play bass for him.

Only problem, too quiet.

I really, really miss him. Gone far too soon.

Him and that guitar..oh

My gosh he's been gone for so long! 🥺

Faaaaaark this is dirty filth 🔥🔥🔥

Thanks for uploading these videos. I have the entire SRV discography, mission accomplished :D Miss him so much, wish I could see him live one more time

Good rendition of Stevie Wonder 😊

What a superb talent.

. Pure talent Amazing.

more volume please

Absolved professional!

Great guitarist..!!

The Goat.

SRV biopic when

I think the drummer seriously screwed up with setting the tempo in this version. That being said, Stevie jumped right on and rode the living hell outta this anyway. Man, I still miss him. Just pure genius and insane talent, chops, stank and style. You could do a thesis-level dissertation on just his right hand picking technique in just this song alone.

GREATEST

Hey guys! Does someone know what did he say at the end? I can’t get it

Holy f***

Absolutely masterful

Wow!! He did an Awesome job with this!!

Incredible

This man was coked out of his mind and did most of this fever-dream of a masterpiece with his eyes closed. A true legend.
