Stevie clean and sober. His playing got tighter, yet you can see when he’s having a great time improvising. Can’t help but shed a tear at the profound loss.
Clapton said (quote as best as I can remember)... "I almost walked away from the stage the first time I saw him (SRV) play - the blues flowed out of him in such an easy way it seemed to me and without thinking, at times in a literal flood. No one, including BB, Albert, Hendrix or myself played the blues like this. I felt intimidated, but in a good way". High praise from God himself.
All those people having a good time watching Stevie play thinking he'd be around forever. Nothing is forever, and sometimes they arent even for a while.
Listen to the album and the song sounds totally different the whole thing about it his improvisation is beyond amazing a gift sent from God and left early to have God teach him the guitar what my son always told me he’s amazing the GOAT
I had the privilege to see SRV live in San Antonio in 1989 in an outdoor concert of over 50,000 people and he was Great!!!! He was in his own world leaning into the wind, his scarf flaying and playing like hell. He's the best, RIP SRV.
@@leehambleton9919 oh hell yeah buddy I know Rory and Gary but haven’t heard much of them. Probably 1-3 live songs. You got any recommendations of live versions? I heard about Hendrix liked Rory
@@stringbender3 Anything by Rory from the seventies is shit hot also their is a new CD by Rory called All Round Man it's two live concerts from 1990 and their is a concert by Gary Moore called one night in Dublin that's a tribute to Thin Lizzy
Stevie had the looks, smile, heart and soul of an angel. He had the voice of a sexy scoundrel though, and was (and is, forever to me.), the BEST guitarist ever to grace this planet! You are SO loved and missed by me, STEVIE! R.I.P. I listen to you every day! See you in Heaven Sweetie!!
Can you recall anything specific you remember about him and the performance? I’m sitting here watching this envying the fact of you getting to see him and the fact I never got to see this man live and never will. :(
God he is so good, takes a simple blues progression, keeps it simple, but then crunchifies it with his licks. I love playing guitar, but I can't even play like he does when I dream.
How the hell can this get 25 down arrows? It's a live musician doing his thing. This world is full of sad people who will happily pay good money to go to a shit Rihanna or 1d concert ignoring the real talent in the world! Sad sad sad
I passed up the opportunity to go see him either '88 or '89, I forget which year - I was still in high school and wasn't a blues fan at the time. Still kicking myself in the ass nearly 25 years later.
Saw our Beloved SRV when he first came out on the music scene and also again right before his death in Dallas. Such a great loss! My all time fave that I even named my daughter after him. Long live SRV!🙏❤️
I saw him in Omaha and he had hired a local horn section that was well known in town. He not only named them about 20 times, but he walked off stage to keep the ligthts off of him while the horn section did their thing. He gave them so much encouragement and credit, it made me admire him even more for being such a decent human being, on top of being such a huge talent. We miss you Stevie,and all the positive energy you put out.
Fuck! How good was this bloke. The tone & sound he got live was amazing. So clean and accurate. I have seen so many guitar players crash and burn trying to do stuff like this.
Bro he was a legend and beyond words how he plays his bass player and drummer said he never played the same and always had something different to play each time I’ve heard 4 different versions of this song live he had a talent and gift that only came from God but he inspired many people to become guitar players including me.
Its kinda like looking at old home movies and remembering what what's and what will never be again. I am thankful I did get to see him front row in 87.
Why is there over 10,000ppl baking in the hot sun for then if they didnt know him? He was originally from near that area and was a hometown hero, so your assumption is incorrect.
If life was fair Elvis, Stevie, and Buddy Holly would still be alive, and Justin Bieber would still be in Canada Flipping burgers and smoking pot. I wish that world existed.
Imagine these people, the excitement, the privilege of them to be there. Stevie, eternal longing! Imagine essas pessoas, a emoção, o privilégio delas em estar ali. Stevie, saudades eternas!
Wow..the people that showed up for this Stevie Ray Vaughan concert is filled up to the Rim..Sensational concert and the band is fantastic ..Stevie Ray Vaughan always does his best to entertain the crowd..so sadly missed.
Stevie Ray Vaughan lived through to receive an Award for being best blue's guitar player that has ever won an award for his music he put out..Stevie is legend and had a solo phenominal singing voice..Rock also was excellent on Stevie Ray Vaughan's career and should have already received an award for Rock ..there late..r you with me..Every one of Stevie's performances were of high quality in the music Stevie put out..great job Stevie
September 22nd 1989, Dallas Texas... I was there!!! Fabulous Thunderbirds opened for SRV. He opened for THE WHO. The whole city was blocked off. Kool and The Gang were playing in the park along with a whole bunch of other bands. Lots and lots of ice cold Texas beer in the Texas sun. Nice video pixel of the Miller Texas Party. RIP SRV!!!
I used to pick up my daughter when she was twoish and dance around singing this with her. The best version of Mary Had a Little Lamb ever! :D He was so amazing.
I LOVE Stevie, but you also gotta look at who HE thought was one of the best musicians ever and one he looked up to - Roy Clark. That man could play anything in any genre. He was simply amazing.
Thanks for posting all your gems. I am sure that there are still some pretty amazing SRV (and others) out there being held on to. (Kind of like the REST of the SBD recording from August 26, 1990 proven by Riviera Paradise that came out a few years back that is amazing.) I am so thankful that certain sites remain so that these historical, and sadly gone, moments in music are preserved for future generations to be inspired by.
Thanks so much for video taping this genius at work in his prime. I don't know where I was at the time he was producing this fantastic music. Sadly I only became aware of his fantastic music after he passed away, and never saw him perform live. But now he's probably my favorite guitarist of all time !!!
Stevie clean and sober. His playing got tighter, yet you can see when he’s having a great time improvising. Can’t help but shed a tear at the profound loss.
I loveeeee me some Stevie Ray always have.
Clean or Soba....Stevie had it ALL I mean, REAL
Well Stated.
That band was tighter than a gnat's ass.

High praise from God himself.
He kind of said the same thing when he first Jimi Hendrix play in the UK. He was downright disturbed...lol.
@@blashernandez3938 Clapton is a big phony
@@weekendpartier Because he isn't mexican? LOL...your crazy
Off course 😊😊😊😊😊😊 6:03
I 💭 WHY😊😊😊😊 1:13
That move he does at 5:33 when he transitions to the rhythm section is just epic. He truly feels the music with his whole body.
Thanks
Rhythm to Solo, and then back to rhythm, and then to the verse. Sweet as!
All those people having a good time watching Stevie play thinking he'd be around forever. Nothing is forever, and sometimes they arent even for a while.
He plays so incredibly well holly shit. Im being amaze & chilling at the same time.
2:53 super tasty lick right there. My ear has orgasm
Oh that's me has commented 5 months ago :D

Born 2001 and I can’t be thankful enough that all these great music was just the past 5 decades before I was born. Man I’m lucky.
Have a look at Rory Gallagher he is one of the all time greats SRV Rory Gallagher Gary moore true legends

A sexy scoundrel I love it😂
Saweet!
I was there! What a great show. SRV,The Fabulous Thunderbird's and The Who. SRV, blew them all away.
I would have been 4 at that time but wish I could’ve been there gone to soon 😢RIP SRV the GOAT.
So great to see this again. I was there and he is, was and will always be the best!
Can you recall anything specific you remember about him and the performance? I’m sitting here watching this envying the fact of you getting to see him and the fact I never got to see this man live and never will. :(
So lucky u got to see this show live.
Amen Lisa!!!

Gift from God.

Agree... Very sad these days!.. Glad we have good taste in real talent.. Stevie Ray graves us that.
+Mary Honosky gave*
Because people are idiots, that are used to b.s music
MrOharaj do down thumbs even do anything?
TrueGent 999. Seen him twice , tuff road
Oh God I love SRV he is the reason why I play guitar today!
God bless his soul
RIP my friend!
I passed up the opportunity to go see him either '88 or '89, I forget which year - I was still in high school and wasn't a blues fan at the time. Still kicking myself in the ass nearly 25 years later.
STEVIE RAY at his best
Love how he sneaks around and kicks in the octavia pedal like jimi used to
My god!!! Can do more in one pentatonic box than all of them combined. The best! RIP King👑
Wow!! Thats all I could say!! If you don't get the passion this man had after you see this you never will!
One of the best music ever heard on Earth.
Simply incredible and unreal !
There'll never be another talent like SRV.
Agreed
Saw our Beloved SRV when he first came out on the music scene and also again right before his death in Dallas. Such a great loss! My all time fave that I even named my daughter after him. Long live SRV!🙏❤️
Just goes to show how much you can have on stage with a good crowd (:

Fantastic performance. Always put his heart on stage. ❤️
RIP Stevie, you took my breath away every time I heard you play. You are sorely missed.
Most of these folk had no idea they were witnessing one of the greatest guitarists that have ever played the tonewood.
dude, how can you say that? it was 1989, by that time Stevie was already known, a guitarist like him should not and did not pass unnoticed.
Why is there over 10,000ppl baking in the hot sun for then if they didnt know him? He was originally from near that area and was a hometown hero, so your assumption is incorrect.
Yeah seriously dude your not the only one able to appreciate SRV, I'm sure they knew exactly what they were witnessing
In 1989...perhaps many did...
If life was fair Elvis, Stevie, and Buddy Holly would still be alive, and Justin Bieber would still be in Canada Flipping burgers and smoking pot. I wish that world existed.
This is my favourite live version of this song. He was so inspired
Extraordinaire!!!!!
+Alberto Olivieri c'est vrai ,extraordinaire !!!
Un genie
This is so good 🙌🏼🎸…I’m watching at midnight and I got to go to work at 5am .. I was 24 in 1989..RIP SRV..
Amazing guitar solo,just brillant!
Amazing!
Stevie was clean, and tearing it up at this point.
SRV and his band still in our hearts!
I can't wait to meet this beautiful spirit!
Imagine these people, the excitement, the privilege of them to be there. Stevie, eternal longing!
Imagine essas pessoas, a emoção, o privilégio delas em estar ali. Stevie, saudades eternas!
Miss you, Stevie Ray. You had so much more to give us!
Wow..the people that showed up for this Stevie Ray Vaughan concert is filled up to the Rim..Sensational concert and the band is fantastic ..Stevie Ray Vaughan always does his best to entertain the crowd..so sadly missed.

I work with special olympics and didn't know that SRV helped support the program. Always a class act act.
God was with Steve,Steve is with God.

Fiery joy from 6 strings and wood like nobody else could. Memory eternal.

The show from August 26 was filmed professionally but have never been released to the public.

What a rare treasure!! Thanks for sharing this one.
Damn, that was great!

Thanks so much for video taping this genius at work in his prime. I don't know where I was at the time he was producing this fantastic music. Sadly I only became aware of his fantastic music after he passed away, and never saw him perform live. But now he's probably my favorite guitarist of all time !!!
I was 20yrs old and at the one in houston. Best fukin day ever
Stevie Ray every day!
Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan.
