This just shows how much better he would have even gotten if that's possible. Look at those clear gleaming eyes. You can see the sense of pride he had as he was finally working through all his demons. Absolutely breathtaking.
Stevie lived what he is singing here... making amends - he took that seriously. Clean, sober, walking his tightrope. He made it right. Love and miss him.
At the 2:50 mark the little pause and transition back into the melody is legendary SRV! His timing hits the center of the pocket like a hundred mile an hour fastball popping into the catcher’s mitt from a loaded shotgun! If that doesn’t make you get up and start grooving, your soul needs a shot of adrenaline. Such an intense and powerful performer! I just wish that cloning was a viable option before he tragically died in a helicopter crash. We lost the greatest blues player of all time. Sheer magic with world class skills vocally and Universal guitar skills and Godlike ability on the stage. There will never be another Stevie Ray Vaughan. What a gift to the world ❤❤❤
There's a reason why Stevie Ray Vaughn is as popular NOW as when he was alive. LEGENDS keep playing on. Lucky us! 🎸🎶🎵🎶 Keep on Truckin!! Or should I say "hammer those strings"!!
Love this song! The line “can’t catch a turtle in this rat race” always makes me smile…I have my daily fix of y’all now…great work as always…thank you!
He never gets old. Fantastic stuff he brought every night. If I could go back in time and see him perform once again it would be magical. I think I can see you have as much appreciation for his music as many people do. I can go through the rest of my day now. Thank you✌️🎶🎸🎼
You should check out SRV on Night Music which was a show hosted by saxophonist David Sanborn. It's a live performance backed by some NYC's best musicians at the time. It's interesting to hear him in such heavy company.
Stevie Ray Vaughn doesn't play the guitar, he beats it into total submission. The absolute beauty of SRV is hes never looking or searching for the next note. He's truly a vessel that the music flows out of his heart and through his fingers.
Remember this show well. He was pushing those amps at 11, the distortion was perfect. God I miss him. Thankfully we have his music and some amazing video of his performances. 🤘😎
The Last Studio Album with Double Trouble is called " In Step". SRV was clean and Sober and paid tribute to the twelve step program. Everysong is personal about regret, forgiveness, and Joy. This performance doesn't capture the magic of studio version, only because they hadn't played it Live but a handful of times. On your own time listen to this, and you'll hear Tommy Shannon walking the dog. The whole album is perfection.
@@jfcardello Johnny, if you haven't yet, the SRV Nashville live show on you tube, taped for the Jerry Lewis Labor Day telephon, is a great performance, and has one hell of a good life without you performance. It also has a bad ass Superstition performance as well. Taped a few months after his recovery.. changed the game! ✌️
In Step is his best, period. And soo many references those of us who have managed to fight through our own demons and addictions feel. You just feel his thankfulness at being alive.
SRV is of course The Man, but the sound behind him which blends so well is the work of Masters in its own right!! Hats off to Tommy, Chris, and Reese!!!!👏👏👏
Always great to see ya'll revisit Stevie! When he has his Tube Screamer pedal on and digs into that #1 Strat, nastiest tone I know I've ever heard. Great example is "So Excited" from El Mocambo. RIP to the best ever.
Supposedly, the first time that Eric Clapton heard Stevie Ray Vaughn play it was on a car radio, and he had to pull the car over because he couldn't believe what he was hearing.
Same thing happened to me, but I pulled over because the radio station was fading in & out. When I got to work, I called the radio station and asked, "Who the hell was THAT?" They told me SRV. I left work at lunch time and hauled ass to the nearest record store and bought "Texas Flood."
There’s a great version of this song from when Stevie appeared on David Sanborn’s show Sunday Night. You get to hear what Stevie sounds like with a different band.
We have a great club in my hometown called the El Mocambo. The Stones played it in 1977. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see it. I did get to see George Thorogood, Elvis Costello, Rory Gallagher (twice) and best of all Stevie Ray Vaughn and the recorded it and put it on a record!!
You hear cover after cover of most artists, even guitar players these days. You just don't see many of Stevie Ray Vaughan. I'm assuming most people either can't play the song or can never re-create that sound that came from those bridge sized cables he used for strings. The One and Only.... Stevie Ray Vaughan, and it's just another night for him...
Damn straight boys! ;) Ya gotta please do "Leave My Little Girl Alone" from the same performance on Austin City Limits 1989..... he literally saws that Strat in half during three incredible solos..... a MUST watch!!
Stevie Ray was such a huge fan of Jimmy Hendrix that he paid for his music to be produced. Jimmy’s new wife received everything and didn’t not look back after JIMMY passed. So Stevie understood this and made a point to seek out Jimmy’s father to show him respect. Jimmy’s father gave Stevie some of his son’s guitar equipment. Stevie was such a kind and respectful LEGEND that it’s hard to watch his music but if you grew up with a guitarist father it’s like NOSTALGIA. TY AIR PLAY BEATS. 🙋🏻♀️❤️🔥🎸🙏🏽
I agree with your other subscribers… I’m getting my daily fix of you guys right now!! I’m so looking forward to this… to start my weekend off!! Thank you… and Long Live SRV!!!!!! 💙💙💙💙💙
@@harrietmiller3982 Hi there, Harriet!! (My favorite person!!) Thank you again… for turning me onto these guys in the first place! I really enjoy them… as you can see!! 💙🙏🏻💙🎵🎶🎼☮️☯️
I was fortunate enough to see Stevie live in 1987 in Daytona Beach Best concert I’ve ever seen Watch him perform Ain’t Gone Give Up on Love at this concert This man was special and taken way too soon from us He never performed a song the same way He didn’t have to Eric Clapton said music just flowed through Stevie like no other Eric Clapton is another blues guitar player and one of the best Watch Eric perform It Hurts Me To
You guys should do a reaction to SRV Wall of Denial off his "in step" album (same album with Riviera Paradise and Tight Rope. I'm a guitar player and Wall of Denial has a great groove and incredible playing by him. It's my favorite from that album. RIP! He has plenty of good players trying to copy him over the years but no one has his soul and passion. He truly manhandled that guitar! Thanks guys.
great reaction, him and hendrix the BEST ever. do them as often as you can...cant go wrong....do more of hendrix live, id really appreciate you comparing and of course enjoying them both....
I think that tone. The "velcro-rip-fuzz sound" is partly from a chorus or univibe set at a really fast speed. Giving that vibrating- rubbing sound. That plus a lot of Ibanez Tube Screamer, which he used for overdrive..... Maybe he used a Fuzzface?.... Never heard that, but, you know,.....Jimi..
I don't know the exact date of this ACL performance, but I DO know I saw him on June 15, 1990 in Atlanta on a bill with Irma Thomas, Joe Cocker, Dr. John, and BB King. He, but not his music, died on August 27th of the same year.
Great song from a great album! Notice how SRV looks a little different from earlier live videos - he is clean and sober here. And I actually think he got better musically being sober.
Man, you guys MUST check out the Marcus King band. I recommend starting with either "Goodbye Carolina" or "Rita is Gone" from the "In the Van" series. You won't be disappointed.
@@alanberg5575 I agree with you .alot of people put Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page up there too, along with Duane Allman on occasion. I listen to all of them and you'll get no complaints from me. Paul Kossoff is another great.just so many great ones especially from the 60s and 70s
@@stephenodonnell8023 you're out of your mind. I've seen him live 25 times. He's more inspired at various times but when he's playing blues ,he's a master. When he plays pop commercial crap it's boring. He's anything but over rated.
