I hear you, late 90’s as a middle school student found a scratched up cd of “the sky is crying” and something about track 9 ( if I remember correctly) Studio version of Little Wing. Made me inspired to play guitar, made me the person that I am today. I would give anything to see Hendrix or Even Stevie Ray Vaughan in concert.
I feel the same way about Little Wing, my favorite since I heard Jimi's back in '68, was it? True love ever since. Hendrix was a genius at composition. Both he and SRV were Masters at their craft. ☮️ to all
@@mikejaan66 I agree. I like to think that in Jimi's original version, there is barely any soloing. The vibe of the song is entirely different, more about good vibes with a girl in a cool city. But what is particularly striking about this song is the chord progression, and the way the minor pentatonic can be phrased over the different chords. I like to think this is what Stevie found captivating about this song, and became obsessed with it, laying down his version of Little Wing. Truly epic, both are giants and this song is so beautiful in so many ways. RIP fellas.
Literally made me cry, with joy !!! Been a while since I have been able to get me some you tube coming back from a dry spell peace everyone, happiest of holidays to all !!!!
Watching this man play guitar is like seeing a supernatural power come to life in front of you. He's a force of nature, a tidal wave of emotion, a glimpse beyond the veil. Magic performed with mundane instruments. Truly one of the Legendary Greats of all time.
ABSOLUTELY! I'm a Texas native & we are PROUD of our own! For those of u that never got to see him play, well, u missed an AWESOME show! Jimi would've been proud to see Stevie Ray do justice to some of his music! @ TRULY incredible MASTER guitar players...taken way too soon, but never forgotten!
1st time I saw Stevie Ray I was a senior in high school. He was at a small club in Houston , Tx. called Fitzgeralds. I didn't know who he was. He absolutely shredded ! Loved him ever since!

Ma come siamo potuti finire così.

Solitamente il mondo, soprattutto l'arte tende a crescere,ad andare avanti...ma in Italia e anche negli Stati Uniti stiamo veramente uccidendo la musica come Blues,Jazz ....( Il classico è un mondo a se ). ? Ancora grazie. Riposa in pace Steve Ray Vaughan
Had the very distinct pleasure to Stevie Ray Vaughan in 1985 when I was just 18 years old the man was phenomenal and blew me away with his incredible playing I was just about 20 feet away and at the end of the concert I managed to get the drumsticks that Chris Layton had used all night long and as a drummer myself that was a big deal and I still have them to this day at 51 years old nobody will ever top Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble I cried the day the man died!! I couldn't believe we had just lost another great musician I was sad for quite some time after that and still get emotional watching him play and thinking back to that day when I was a young man of 18 watching a phenomenal guitar player blow us all away there will never be another Stevie rest in peace
I know that this sounds really gay but John Mayer is approaching this status you speak of especially now that he's playing with Bobby wier in dead and company. I was blown away by his 2017 Wrigley field show you should check it out 2nd night of those 2 shows
Jimi Hendrix has just entered the conversation and is coughing loudly. Then says what the fuck are you on about?. If SRV was a live he would be telling you that Jimi is THE guitar god!. This is like all other altoists trying to play like Charlie Parker. Great imitiation, but not the real thing, just a bit longer lived.
Jeff williams, my instructor in the HUGE lies capitol of Toledo, OH… to me was every bit of souls, technicality etc.. as SRV. That said, i was a kid and are usually,”formatted” to what we listen to/learn at young age. Don’t get me wrong, he basically did SRV.. but it blew my effin mind!
12ealDeal fucking bending those 13’s like nothing. 13’s are like fucking cables the stamina of his hands is absolutely untouchable. He would wear the skin off his fingertips and superglue the tips. FACT!!!!!
Because he doesn't know how to read music, so he coukd create his sound by his own ear, that way its more unique to you, im personally trying to do that
You are right on, I was thinking that but did not know how to put it into words. Got to see Chris Layton last year and could feel the energy of Stevie all around me.
I first started listening to this and SRV music when I was a teen-10 plus years later and I still cry happy tears as I watch and listen to this music magician! I LOVE YOU STEVIE!!!
Stevie's version of Little Wing has become my go to version ever since I first heard it in the 90's. He cannot be touched when it came to playing, from Rock, to Country and the Blues, he had it all!! Can you imagine what he would have been doing now??
Usually, when i watch Stevie's videos I don't mind looking at his guitar playing, even though I'am a guitarist by myself, i just tend to look at his face expressions - that's what makes my day and my mood.
High school in the 70s Sydney Australia, we missed Hendrix so much and then came a god of the same spirt. RIP Jimmi and Stevie, you filled our hearts and minds, love you.
I saw him in Newport News VA about 1985 in an old boat house , standing room only fricking awesome git a few pics 1 with playing guitar behind his back there is & will never b anyone like him
Stevie was more than just a human being. I personally believe he was a special kind of spirit. Maybe he was so old and wise that he can only be born into greatness. We'll never know.
I've seen hendricks do it a hundred times on bootlegs. Also remember hedrick sang this song and stevie doesn't. Hence stevie's sound would be a lot different if he had never heard jim.
Don;t come here and bring up other people's names comparing them with Stevie. There is no comparison they are different people. Stevie sweeps them under the rug, Stevie swept them all under the rug.
Snakeweirdo Anyone who says that person can play faster and has better technique, doesn't know what they are talking about. Sick of these new age children that think faster playing beats chops. Chops win every time hands down.
Something is happening here but you don't know what Stevie is certainly one of the greats, but I dont think he overshadows Hendrix. I believe them to be equally godly guitarists, yet in different ways. I prefer Hendrix, but I can see why people might like SRV more. The two really are in a league of their own
Stevie Ray went quasar that day. This is the best performance I've ever heard of this two-piece combo. He was certainly in the zone. How he got there? Atmosphere. Thanks so much for posting & keeping it up. It lifts me higher each time I hear it; and I love to see where he was that day. It was the perfect professional frame for him, I think. Well done for all the people involved in making him feel well supported and appreciated so he could lift off into this beautiful rendition of such a lovely set. Thanks again. I wish I had been there that day...wow! what vibes connected there and then. You can see it on his face, channeling.
I HATE it when people compare SRV to Hendrix. They are both amazing but for different reasons. SRV was technically amazing where as Jimi was an innovator
Jimi made many mistakes, but is one of the greatest guitar innovators no doubt! If not the greatest, but SRV never lost his way on the neck- Eric Clapton honestly in terms of technical ability there's no question of who was a better axe man so it's just your preference! I personally grew up with Jimi Hendrix but SRV is now my favorite guitar player of all time no question!!!
they were both 'technically' amazing. Hendrix's guitar playing was insanely tight and far more rhythmic than what SRV could do imo. They were both very talented, but Hendrix definitely was the best we've ever had in rock music
I listened to Hendrix back when he was still alive.. And to SRV.. They are both great guitar players who played from the time they were 6 or 7 and both mastered playing anything they felt like playing. They both also had heroes like Albert King, Lonnie Mack, Muddy Waters etc. All you fan bois have to have a "best" when there is none.. Lighten up, I would also say you have likely not really listened to SRV either just as you accuse others of not really listening to Jimi.
Oak fukin cliff is were is it at talent beauty and everything u dream of can happen here in OAk CLIFF. This is SRV hometown and mines too. So long live this place that made such an iconic figure like SRV was and still is cause I pass by his home every day. And in soul he still resides in OAK CLIFF.
See what happens when one of the best guitar players ever channels one of the best guitar players, EVER!??! Yes sir, folks, that kind of flow, that kind of talent, doesn't come around every day. But one of the glories of our technological age is we all get to share in that experience. It's no longer like a sun-burst on a cloudy day; here and gone forever. It's no longer an ethereal moment experienced by the fortunate few who hear it at the time. Nope...now we can all carry it with us for as long as our tech allows. Ain't it great? RIP Sir Stevie Ray of the Vaughn clan. Rest In Peace. John~ American Net'Zen
Stevie Ray Vaughan is a masterclass guitarist. He also had the mysterious, intellectual way that Hendrix had. However, he didn't write this song, or voodoo chile, or The Wind Cries Mary. No one can ever own Henxrix. He is, and always will be, the man who every guitarist/singer tries to work their way up to. Any of them will tell you that Jimi is what they all strive to become, even Stevie Ray Vaughan said he just tries to continue the legacy of Hendrix best that he can.
Still missed. Looking forward to sitting with on your porch in the next life SRV and seeing you do this one on one. BB King did it for me in this one for $20. Blues are perfection to my ears.
I heard that he didn't want to get on the helicopter.He had some strange feeling or something like that but eventually he got on it and.....we all know the result :(
Ruben Hernandez Jimi would have loved him not because of the guitar playing, but because they were both humble and modest. They spoke highly of others, had kind words to say, and they were never short of giving credit to others and showing gratitude. Jimi and SRV both took their music more on a spiritual level and a means of expression. "Music has become really important now. It's helped me to open up more and take a chance on loving people. Music is a good reason to care. It's just a vehicle though. It's a way to try and give somebody something that you feel." SRV
Really? That's crazy I grew up with Jimi Hendrix has my favorite guitarist and little wing never made me cry at all!!! But when I first heard Stevie Ray Vaughan's version of little wing it made me cry!!!! It still does!!! Jimmy was a great innovator and he played awesome guitar but Stevie Ray Vaughan's playing is out of this world Supernatural!!! Jimmi's mistakes on the guitar made him human "SRV never lost his way on the neck"- Eric Clapton
Sometimes it is still hard to see or here him , i am 56 old gray and bitter,but my already broke heart run by a battery,BREAKS, He was and still one of the GREATS went to soon like many others. Had a dream one night in an old empty wearhouse heard music comeing from a room in the back went and looked ---yes it was Stevie just setting noodlen around said I want to show you something you have not heard before. I said Stevie you are dead.he said thats why you ve never heard it. I still play it. to the walls in my room. yours truly still old gray little less bitter. Donna s hubby DENNIS ELLIS last name first first name last L.S.D.
He left too soon. I hop he, Jimi Hendrix, Paul Goddard, Keith Moon, Bon Scott, Jim Morison, and Janis Joplin form a great band if there is a heaven and their new music is played 24/7 at pearly gate's entrance.
There's something going on between Stevie and his guitar. He sneered at it then took it to the wall. It tried to get back at him and the guitar tech came out and fixed it.
i heard Clapton and Hendrix do this song and i think stevie done it better then both of them i don't think he even hit the hight of his talent before he was taken way too soon
Stevie Ray makes Clapton look like a one armed man at a clapping contest. Like a Chevy Chevette in a drag race. Please, in the future try to no mention them both in the same sentence.
He was so talented beautiful and humble and it took me years to hear or see him again without crying the only person to touch my soul with his music it still hurts but feels so right in my heart ❤️ rip beautiful Stevie you are loved and missed ❤
I found this tonight and it has '3rd Stone From The Sun' too. Growing up I never liked Blues even though I grew up in Chicago. I liked happy music, jamming rock, Jazz, Jazz Fusion particularly, and Soul. I figured the world was sad enough without whining around. The exception was BB King because he was so happy and sweet sounding and any Blues that was happy or humorous (like Buddy Guy) and I was the same way with Country. I loved all the countrty rock and occasional 'hit' if it was deep and liked Bluegrass because it was so musical. I remember hearing shitty can't-stand-him mope David Bowie and the guitar jumped out of songs on 'Let's Dance' and I said-"That's so out of place in that stupid song". I was in CO Springs living in '85 and SRV came to town and was on the radio with a DJ. He played a short live version of 'Soul To Soul' and I realized how good he was but still did not go see him because it sounded kind of rock-a-billy in that studio jam. At that same exact time Randy Hansen came with his 3 hour tribute to Jimi Hendrix and he played every song perfect so well I went to both shows 2 nights in a row. Somehow I was blocked/attacked to not know how good SRV was-and I knew almost everyone. Then I heard 'Couldn't Stand The Weather' one night and realized he was Carlos/Jeff/Jimi caliber. He worked his way up to being my 2nd favorite after Carlos and I only saw him once. The whole band was in a bad mood the day I saw them, the playing flawless and powerful but everyone was screaming for 'Voodoo Chile' and on that Live Alive Tour he was playing 'Superstition' instead and he seemed irritated. Now as an Exorcist of 27 years I can see the demons/mean-ness in the guys and it's funny because they are such good nice men-much more so after they got sober. Coke is the bad one-Fr. Corapi talks about watching a Satanic Priest curse all the coke arriving off ships one time. It's a bad spiritual drug, like most but the worst it seems. It can turn even a sweet child-like man mean. Satan was after SRV, because like Jimi and Carlos he realized his music could heal people and he made that his mission as did Jimi right at the end. I could have gone to his last show but Carlos was in town 2 days later and SRV toured almost non-stop. I met Carlos that night ,his 1st after Stevie died and he never smiled, and played a flawless show but he was so bummed he said-"I just want to go home and be with my family". No one could stand it that SRV died. And now Jeff murdered by the Jabs. Carlos-nearly killed but he prays hard....
Taught jimi you kidding. I have many version bootlegs of Jimmy playing this and remember Jimmy sang this.He just did do it as the instrumental. I saw Stephen Stevie ray vaugh and concert.He was extremely good blues guitars. Hendrix was a revolutionary created. Sounds was a genius. Which Stevie will never be. Even if he can play some of Jimmy stuff better, he'll never be Jimmy.He will never create what jimmy did. Jimmy changed the way the approach to the guitar. Jimmy changed guitar in less than four years. He copied Jimmy half the stuff that he does. Was Jimmy did 20 years before he did it.
SRV's greatest studio recorded song of his severely shortened career. Tears and goosebumps every time I listen to it. When he doesn't have to supply vocals he really seems to take it to another level.
THE ONLY SONG EVER WRITTEN THAT SHOULD NEVER END.........
Fuckin a
A Beautiful song.....
Sums it up perfectly
The 1st time i heard SRV play Little Wing i got goose bumps and thanks to his insane talent 24 years later i still do.

@@mikejaan66 I agree. I like to think that in Jimi's original version, there is barely any soloing. The vibe of the song is entirely different, more about good vibes with a girl in a cool city.

its hard to say if he is top 2 or 3 but he is still looking good for number one.
He makes the guitar sing better and with more soul than a person. It's nothing short of magic.
Literally made me cry, with joy !!! Been a while since I have been able to get me some you tube coming back from a dry spell peace everyone, happiest of holidays to all !!!!

I wonder who is the lucky person that's gonna induct Stevie...
To good 👍 love it...Rajesh Patel
This has in the last month become my hands down favorite song. So God damn beautiful.
YES PARKER, you have to a pretty cool person to make that decision and I couldn’t agree FKYN more. Stevie Ray will always be my main man❤
Amazing how he filled out 15 minutes with such grace and talent.

Lots of guitar players play "Little Wing", but none of em' do it like Stevie did
Steve Vai version is also good, but indeed, we cannot compare them. We cannot compare any guitarist to SRV 🎸✨
We should never compare but... Eric Gales' one is pretty fire too!
Jimi Hendrix has just entered the conversation and is coughing loudly. Then says what the fuck are you on about?. If SRV was a live he would be telling you that Jimi is THE guitar god!. This is like all other altoists trying to play like Charlie Parker. Great imitiation, but not the real thing, just a bit longer lived.

SRV's vibrato is untouchable.

SRV, Hendrix, Rory g and others have/had a gift. They could do things with a guitar that was amazing. I'm always in awe.
I believe SRV was an open channel that a force greater than us used to communicate through.
T.J. Ash I believe you are correct....S R V a free bird indeed
T.J. Ash - I also believe you are correct

You are right on, I was thinking that but did not know how to put it into words. Got to see Chris Layton last year and could feel the energy of Stevie all around me.
Stevie even said the soul moves on. Stevie found God and God found Stevie Ray Vaughan and was probably impressed with that strat work.
I first started listening to this and SRV music when I was a teen-10 plus years later and I still cry happy tears as I watch and listen to this music magician! I LOVE YOU STEVIE!!!
Wow! I can see BOTH the pixels in this video. Such HD!
This is old VHS footage from the 80s.
This was HD in the 80's.
But they're two highly defined pixels.. haha.
Hank Hill Shouldn't you be commenting on Rob Chapmans channel
Hank Hill to bad it's a cover
Don't be Haters. SRV is among the greatest of our time.
Hell yes SRV IS THE BEST OF THE BEST. Point me to the haters, I’ll have to see what that’s all about, they must be from another planet 🌎
The late SRV. Often imitated but never duplicated. He not only played the music he FELT it too! Truly one of the very best.
Luv, luv, luv this song.....if I ever marry again; this will be my wedding song!!!!!
I just come back to this video over and over again. It never drains out.
no joke me too. i could listen to this melody 24/7. I just wish there were more jams like this played by Jimi.
Stevie's version of Little Wing has become my go to version ever since I first heard it in the 90's. He cannot be touched when it came to playing, from Rock, to Country and the Blues, he had it all!! Can you imagine what he would have been doing now??

Thanks for a great post!!!
Usually, when i watch Stevie's videos I don't mind looking at his guitar playing, even though I'am a guitarist by myself, i just tend to look at his face expressions - that's what makes my day and my mood.
it's like pooping and cumming.
+Serge Blake I agree. He is "fun" to watch. What a wasted talent when he died too soon.
He is as great as they come. I do not know how anyone speaks against him,
It's funny because whenever I hear little wing I always feel I need some very large cargo boats to look at to give it some meaningful context.
I read your comment at the same time that the ship appeared, laughed.
Bang Fish It just seemed so... well something
Rik Morgan I now cry everytime i see a cargo ship
Hahaha, nice. :)

On the other side we b jammin
thats some hippie shit hahaha
bobbyfan418
bobbyfan418 he was reborn in John Mayer
Negative ghost rider. Mayer is good, but not SRV good. Then again, who really is?
WOW! Luv this.
I'm a life long good ol boy from TEXAS, in my opinion SRV is teaching Jimi Hendrix how to play this song. Best guitarist there ever was or will be
I've seen hendricks do it a hundred times on bootlegs.
Also remember hedrick sang this song and stevie doesn't.
Hence stevie's sound would be a lot different if he had never heard jim.
Got to see Stevie in OKC not to long before his passing. Thanks for coming Stevie, we love and miss you. Thanks for this post, over the top love it.
Don;t come here and bring up other people's names comparing them with Stevie. There is no comparison they are different people. Stevie sweeps them under the rug, Stevie swept them all under the rug.

Yeah but Jimi was possessed.
Stevie was all natural.
You must be kidding. He's litearlly channelling a lot of Hendrix in this performance. He plays third stone from the sun.
Jimi made many mistakes, but is one of the greatest guitar innovators no doubt! If not the greatest, but SRV never lost his way on the neck- Eric Clapton honestly in terms of technical ability there's no question of who was a better axe man so it's just your preference!

@@Repoman1509 not possessed, but blessed. Like many others, Stevie had a real gift to give.
they were both 'technically' amazing. Hendrix's guitar playing was insanely tight and far more rhythmic than what SRV could do imo. They were both very talented, but Hendrix definitely was the best we've ever had in rock music
One of the best statements I have ever read. Perfectly summed up.

Stevie Ray Vaughan is a masterclass guitarist. He also had the mysterious, intellectual way that Hendrix had. However, he didn't write this song, or voodoo chile, or The Wind Cries Mary. No one can ever own Henxrix. He is, and always will be, the man who every guitarist/singer tries to work their way up to. Any of them will tell you that Jimi is what they all strive to become, even Stevie Ray Vaughan said he just tries to continue the legacy of Hendrix best that he can.
THIS IS WHAT YOU TUBE IS FOR. LIKE I WAS THERE. GREAT PHOTOGRAPHY WITH THE BEST MUSICIANS
...legend says, many women asked SRV to treat them like he treats his guitar...
Strip them down to the wood and bend them with three fingers?
Finger them until they're screaming with several thousand people watching?
Steive Ray Vaughan his great 👍 his like Jimi Hendrix his too good 👍 Rajesh Patel.
Simple THE BEST EVER! The Great SRV!
Good Soul.... Good Man... He Sang A Song To Me In Banff...Loads of Love xoxo
Sensational. What an amazing musician.
Still missed. Looking forward to sitting with on your porch in the next life SRV and seeing you do this one on one. BB King did it for me in this one for $20. Blues are perfection to my ears.
Nice... The subtitle reads Lenny at one point... hahaha... Miss you Stevie
I love this so much

***** Shut your eyes. Insert your ear buds deep and crank it. You should find what you are looking for.
Born to play guitar and is supposedly buried with it.
Helicopters and Porsches, if I ever become some celeb I'm staying away from both.
Da A he shouldn't have got on that helicopter :(
I heard that he didn't want to get on the helicopter.He had some strange feeling or something like that but eventually he got on it and.....we all know the result :(
Da A Also small planes.
And buses.
If you're a no talented overrated celebrity then fly and haul ass in sports cars
This song is untouchable... by no one
Actually sometimes prefer to hear covers of this song because I very often want to cry when I hear Jimi's.
AWESOME WHAT A GUITARIST JIMMY WOULD HAVE LOVED HIM IN MY OPINION
Ruben Hernandez
Jimi would have loved him not because of the guitar playing, but because they were both humble and modest. They spoke highly of others, had kind words to say, and they were never short of giving credit to others and showing gratitude.
Jimi and SRV both took their music more on a spiritual level and a means of expression.
"Music has become really important now. It's helped me to open up more and take a chance on loving people. Music is a good reason to care. It's just a vehicle though. It's a way to try and give somebody something that you feel." SRV
Really? That's crazy I grew up with Jimi Hendrix has my favorite guitarist and little wing never made me cry at all!!! But when I first heard Stevie Ray Vaughan's version of little wing it made me cry!!!! It still does!!! Jimmy was a great innovator and he played awesome guitar but Stevie Ray Vaughan's playing is out of this world Supernatural!!! Jimmi's mistakes on the guitar made him human "SRV never lost his way on the neck"- Eric Clapton
Jesus, I’m blow away. SRV is the goat
He makes it look easy. He was so great.
He is the best guitarest we will ever have. God rest his beautiful soul.
00:00 Little wing + 06:35 third stone from the sun .
I can clearly hear bits/pieces from the end of "Castles made of sand" in between the two from 06:18 onwards.

this video
lmfao
Why hate where u there this day before hd ur lucky to see this let alone the quality
then i dont think a 2012 video should specify "High Definition" in its title
Sometimes it is still hard to see or here him , i am 56 old gray and bitter,but my already broke heart run by a battery,BREAKS, He was and still one of the GREATS went to soon like many others. Had a dream one night in an old empty wearhouse heard music comeing from a room in the back went and looked ---yes it was Stevie just setting noodlen around said I want to show you something you have not heard before. I said Stevie you are dead.he said thats why you ve never heard it. I still play it. to the walls in my room. yours truly still old gray little less bitter. Donna s hubby DENNIS ELLIS last name first first name last L.S.D.
He left too soon. I hop he, Jimi Hendrix, Paul Goddard, Keith Moon, Bon Scott, Jim Morison, and Janis Joplin form a great band if there is a heaven and their new music is played 24/7 at pearly gate's entrance.
Who is Paul Goddard?
Jonathan Wichtendahl that’s too much action for anyone’s ears... no way.
the best to ever do it!
There's something going on between Stevie and his guitar. He sneered at it then took it to the wall. It tried to get back at him and the guitar tech came out and fixed it.
only the good die young that's why jimi and srv are no longer with us RIP ill meet both of you and the next world ill try not to be late
i heard Clapton and Hendrix do this song and i think stevie done it better then both of them i don't think he even hit the hight of his talent before he was taken way too soon
Ron Azbill I think that could be said for both...Hendrix was the original so I don’t think you can compare
Stevie Ray makes Clapton look like a one armed man at a clapping contest. Like a Chevy Chevette in a drag race. Please, in the future try to no mention them both in the same sentence.
Did it better* FFS
Excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The way Jimi Hendrix plays is more loose than the way SRV played still though two amazing musicians.
He was so talented beautiful and humble and it took me years to hear or see him again without crying the only person to touch my soul with his music it still hurts but feels so right in my heart ❤️ rip beautiful Stevie you are loved and missed ❤
didn't come here to see footage of a river and barges. came here to watch a man become a god for 15 minutes
I believe you mean a God become mortal for 15 min.
😂true
i leave my mind when i listen to this band play, lets not forget the other two guys!!!
HOLYFUCKINGSHIT!!!!!!!!!!!
IKR?!?!.. He's fucking unreal amazing!!.. Lol
+Mary Honosky Er... "IKR"?
+ministerskyddz ... IKR ( I know right?)..
+Mary Honosky Hahahahaha!
Sorry... I'm an idiot.
(blushing)
+Mary Honosky I could sub to your channel and have nearly every SRV vid out there at a touch! Nice work!!
most difficult and best version ever so yeah is the highest definition of this song
Jimi woulda been proud and impressed i bet
Stevie is the Greatest to ever Grace the earth.
Stretching 360p resolution to 720p doesn't make it "high definition"...
I found this tonight and it has '3rd Stone From The Sun' too. Growing up I never liked Blues even though I grew up in Chicago. I liked happy music, jamming rock, Jazz, Jazz Fusion particularly, and Soul. I figured the world was sad enough without whining around. The exception was BB King because he was so happy and sweet sounding and any Blues that was happy or humorous (like Buddy Guy) and I was the same way with Country. I loved all the countrty rock and occasional 'hit' if it was deep and liked Bluegrass because it was so musical. I remember hearing shitty can't-stand-him mope David Bowie and the guitar jumped out of songs on 'Let's Dance' and I said-"That's so out of place in that stupid song". I was in CO Springs living in '85 and SRV came to town and was on the radio with a DJ. He played a short live version of 'Soul To Soul' and I realized how good he was but still did not go see him because it sounded kind of rock-a-billy in that studio jam. At that same exact time Randy Hansen came with his 3 hour tribute to Jimi Hendrix and he played every song perfect so well I went to both shows 2 nights in a row. Somehow I was blocked/attacked to not know how good SRV was-and I knew almost everyone. Then I heard 'Couldn't Stand The Weather' one night and realized he was Carlos/Jeff/Jimi caliber. He worked his way up to being my 2nd favorite after Carlos and I only saw him once. The whole band was in a bad mood the day I saw them, the playing flawless and powerful but everyone was screaming for 'Voodoo Chile' and on that Live Alive Tour he was playing 'Superstition' instead and he seemed irritated. Now as an Exorcist of 27 years I can see the demons/mean-ness in the guys and it's funny because they are such good nice men-much more so after they got sober. Coke is the bad one-Fr. Corapi talks about watching a Satanic Priest curse all the coke arriving off ships one time. It's a bad spiritual drug, like most but the worst it seems. It can turn even a sweet child-like man mean. Satan was after SRV, because like Jimi and Carlos he realized his music could heal people and he made that his mission as did Jimi right at the end. I could have gone to his last show but Carlos was in town 2 days later and SRV toured almost non-stop. I met Carlos that night ,his 1st after Stevie died and he never smiled, and played a flawless show but he was so bummed he said-"I just want to go home and be with my family". No one could stand it that SRV died. And now Jeff murdered by the Jabs. Carlos-nearly killed but he prays hard....
3:20 gave me chills.
Every single time.

Sorry, that was a typo.
Stevie took a Hendrix song out to the universe, best rendition i ever heard sad to say but he could have taught Jimi a few things RIP SRV
Taught jimi you kidding.
I have many version bootlegs of Jimmy playing this and remember Jimmy sang this.He just did do it as the instrumental.
I saw Stephen Stevie ray vaugh and concert.He was extremely good blues guitars.
Hendrix was a revolutionary created. Sounds was a genius. Which Stevie will never be.
Even if he can play some of Jimmy stuff better, he'll never be Jimmy.He will never create what jimmy did.
Jimmy changed the way the approach to the guitar.
Jimmy changed guitar in less than four years.
He copied Jimmy half the stuff that he does. Was Jimmy did 20 years before he did it.
Who is that bass player and why isn't he playing in the NBA? He makes his P-Bass look like a ukulele...
+Danny Irmscher Tommy Shannon is the bass player :)
caleb c Thank you very much, Caleb :-)
+Danny Irmscher Tommy Shannon really isn't that tall. It just looks like that because Stevie was only 5'-5"
+caleb c He's also played with Johnny Winter, hell of a bass player
Because not all tall people want to play basketball.
SRV's greatest studio recorded song of his severely shortened career. Tears and goosebumps every time I listen to it. When he doesn't have to supply vocals he really seems to take it to another level.
Hendrix as only Stevie could play it
Amen
What kind of a fool thumbs down this?? 222 fools!! Rest In Peace Stevie!
