I love the way he delivers this song. Stevie is not only the best guitarist but also has a super voice. Full of emotion and punch. It’s never boring to watch and listen to him. 🥰❤️
There will never be enough words to describe how amazing Stevie was, but lets not forget his band, they were incredible too, especially Chris 'Whipper' Layton on the drums, man just listen to that rhythm he has going during Stevie's solo from 2:30 on.. amazing.
Rick Davis Same here 27 August 1990 I was driving to work and heard it on the car radio I saw him live here in Melbourne , Australia in 1986 His brother Jimmy and his band The Fabulous Thunderbirds supported him Stevie and Jimmy played the double neck guitar together
It's such a gift to be able to watch Stevie play on u- tube! He was so very talented, in every aspect. His skill with his guitar's, and his voice was spot on. It's like his instrument was a part of himself. I'm a major fan of him, and his band. Tommy Shannon, Chris Layton, and Reese Wynans. Y'all were a powerhouse of talent. Thank you all!!!

Wow...I was there! Saw him in Charleston, WV then a couple of weeks later on Spring break in Daytona. Still have the stub somewhere. I remember...I bought a t-shirt that had different colored strats. My man STEVIE RAY!!
Search here on youtube for "Stevie Ray Vaughan - Unforgettable Night Philadelphia, PA -BOOTLEG Jun. 30 1987". Although you maybe mean video, this is only sound.
If only we could turn back, the hand's of time. If only Jimmie, would have asked his little brother, to get out of that helicopter as well. The "if only 's", could go on and on. However, Stevie left us, with a part of his heart, and soul. I'm grateful to be able to enjoy his musical abilities on u-tube. It's a real blessing!

@Sly6035 He never actually got around to playing his prototype. It was gonna be when he was on the Tonight Show in June of 1990. Fender presented him with three prototypes, they settled on having the cursive letter engraved into the pickguard, and that's what the signature SRV guitars are today. He liked them, gave them his best wishes but he never played any of them live. The guitar he is playing here is a Jimi Hendrix Prototype. Only four of these are known to exist too!!
Willie the Whimp wants Stevie Ray Vaughan's white tail he has hanging on his hat and he ain't gonna lay down until he gets it..so..what can I say..What a legend Stevie Ray Vaughan is and his electric guitar is getting out the sound to all the fan's..terrific band keeping the beat..U go Stevie..u got the Groove..always will have..RIP Stevie..r u with me
Not quiet. This is about ten months after rehab. He went to rehab in September or October of 1986 and it was a standard 28 day program. This is later on in 1987.
Change the song title from “Willie the Pimp” to “Willie the Wimp”, and they let it on the radio. Great tune. Sounds like he’s having technical issues with his guitar sound in this version. He’s still a total pro about though, as always.
Songwriters Bill Carter and Ruth Ellsworth changed nothing, nor did SRV when he covered the song. There was no "Willie the Pimp". There was only Willie "the Wimp" Stokes, and he was no purveyor of prostitutes. Rather, he was a drug dealer and gambler, just like his father "Flukey" Stokes, the biggest and richest drug kingpin on Chicago's South Side and the man who sent his son off to his final reward in the song's titular casket.
Those bright lights has got all the band and Stevie sweating on that stage..its not that there on the influence of anything ..Bright lights will react on ya..Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble is great on 5his stage..
I just watched a video of him playing the ONE prototype on the tonight show, i new strait away it was not his one, as the letters were different, and after watching his guitar techs description of the letters they used from the tonight's show graphic department, I put to and to together
If he played it, it wasn't live or anything. If he did play them, he probably played them backstage at The Tonight Show in 1990. But he never played any of them live
