I worked on props for this video. A friend who did this kind of stuff needed a hand. SRV video, hell, yes! Stevie was a gracious guy, we chatted about amps, I strummed his famous guitar while it sat in its case in the basement, quite a thrill. His bandmates were good dudes as well, band/crew lunch up on the roof as I recall, Stevie hatless and comfortable with his baldness! Zero star trip. Incredibly sad day when he left us, rock on forever SRV!
Sitting in the Nashville airport one afternoon. Waiting on Southwest. Decided to have a brew. I sat down and guess who was on my right. That's right. SRV. I thought this guy looks familiar. He had on a baseball cap and lots of jewelry. Finally it dawned on me whom im sitting beside. Turned out to be one of the most kindness and humblest guys ive yet to meet. He insisted on paying for everything. We actually ordered steak at the bar. I said hell no, I owe you this. His eyes welled up, he patted me on the back and said,thx for being real. That's coming from SRV. Truly a genuine man. I know,I got to eat a meal with him. A very real ,down to earth home cooked man. Miss you buddy. When we parted he said hey man thx for the conversation and meal. What a first class guy. No, executive class.
I already knew he was great guitarist cause of his real famous songs. But I started listening to him more about a few months ago. He's so damn good. Like it's crazy.
# Legend of epic proportions ! Gone too soon ! I feel fortunate to have seen him live about a year before he passed . At that pointhad his personal life together enjoying sobriety. May be R.I.P.
That is because you aren't supposed to use headphones. You are supposed to lay a pillow on the floor, place speakers facing towards center of pillow at approximately 18 inches from center , turn volume to 1 Db under your speakers distortion level, then lay your head on a little bit of heaven for 4 minutes and 10 seconds.
LOL. Where do you think all that music originates from? He had the natural guitar skills and voice, the music and words originated from the other side. Nothing originates here, it all flows from higher dimensions down. SRV was a gifted instrumentalist, but he was simply a portal for the rest. Which means that when you RETURN to the higher realms you will have access to all that and much more you've never heard before.
I was blaring this last week and a little old black man stopped and asked what I was playing....he said he hadn’t heard good stuff like that in forever....I felt validated...lol
Yep. Hard to believe it's been SOOO long since he passed. I'm twice as old now as I was when he died. I have pics of his grave the night he was buried. I cherish everything I have that brings him back for a bit ❤❤❤
In 1980 when my husband and I were dating we went to Charlotte NC (30 miles from us) to see a movie. We had some time to kill so we went to a local record store. A man walked past us and my man's jaw dropped. After the man left the building he stopped and whispered, "Don't you know who that was?!!?" I told him no and his eyes got huge and he had that WTF look on his face. It was none other than Stevie Ray. Shame on me.
Hey ' Cheryl Ewart that's freaking amazing he saw Stevie walk by Simply Awesomeness:-) Looks like you got Stranded / caught in the Crossfire with Seeing Good ' ol ' SRV !!!!
Cheryl Ewart I was a sophomore in high school and Charlotte was my favorite place every weekend. 30 minutes from me also. We must be neighbors! Anyway, I would've been all over that man!
i have to agree with you man, SRV wasn't that famous in 1980, unless you were from texas there's no way you would recognize him in person (and i say this because he was apparently well known within texas)
I never seen srv, but I seen his brother Jimmy twice in a small venue, in canada. I asked J if he would mind signing my SRV Strat, his reply "I'll sign anything you want" and the guy behind me had his Bar fridge Door from his Man-Cave . 2nd time I got him to sign my tele. In that venue, it held 100 people and if you got there first, your knees were touching jimmy's mike stand, and that's like 2014 SWEET!!
Day by day, night after night Blinded by the neon light Hurry here, hustling there No one's got the time to spare Money's tight, nothing free Won't somebody come and rescue me I am stranded, caught in the crossfire Stranded, caught in the crossfire Tooth for tooth, eye for an eye Sell your soul just to bop on by Beggin' for a dollar, stealin' a dime Come on can't you see that I'm Stranded, caught in the crossfire I am stranded, caught in the crossfire I need some, kind of kindness Some kind of sympathy, oh no (Lead) Save the strong, lose the weak Never turning the other cheek Trust nobody, don't be no fool Whatever happened to the golden rule
I heard him play, I'm a bass player. Audition and realized this man can play. Tail between my legs silent,walked out. Nothing more to say the Man was born to play.
Sorry lilorbie lilorbie but Stevie Ray Vaughn was 15 years old at the time of Jimi Hendrix's death. But Jeff Beck and Stevie toured together. Wish I could of seen that tour..
@lilorbie lilorbie And Abraham Lincoln said "Don't believe everything you read on the Internet." That rumor about Hendrix praising another player has been floating around forever, usually involving Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top. Gibbon's band The Moving Sidewalks opened a few shows for Hendrix; that would have been great to see.
Stevie was a master of the guitar, but more importantly he was an instrument of the Master. Stevie was a humble man who, even at the height of his drug addiction was preaching for us to love each other and help others when they are down. I truly miss him...
@@metsot One of the editors of "Guitar Player" Magazine once said it best when he said something like, "I know there are some serious players out there who will never see the light of day, who are as good or better than the "stars." He was right. There is a lot of talent and a lot of songwriters out there who will never be given a chance because of the "in crowd" gate keepers. Trust me.
100% accurate. However, I would say that the lack of talent/taste has been absent for LONGER than a decade. It is comical how the youth of today naturally gravitate toward the rock music of the 70's, 80's and early 90's. Why is that? Because they obviously recognize the talent in the ability to play a real freakin' instrument, the quality of the song writing and the overall artistry that has been lacking for (in my opinion) at least 20 years. Good post!!
Such a shame! Such a loss of pure passion n Gods given talent!! I'm JUST old enough to remember hearin about him comin into town. Up here in the PNW (Pacific Northwest).. Would've LOVED TO HAVE SEEN HIM LIVE!! Sadly. I wasn't old enough till probably 10 years or better from that point.. I'm 34 now. So yea. Sounds about right
+Joe Bradford I was 17 and seen SRV front row, dead center Dec 9th 1986 in Saginaw MI. An ice rink that holds 8-10k but only 500ish showed up! He still played 3 hours. By dumb luck, his sound man made a bootleg recording of most of the concert. 27 years later I found the recording online, also now on RUclips and can hear myself Hooting and hollowing. It really was then, as it is now, a dear come true.
+Anitia Coffee That's what makes it such a hard loss. Thinkin about what might have been. Or what could have been... I would love to hear more of what they had to say. For my generation, it's been the loss of talent like most recently, Lemmy from Motorhead. Or Dio, Lane Staley was a big one for me... Kurt Cobain was just ugly all the way around. Nothing against him necessarily. Just that whole situation. Just ugly... I could go on. But we'd be here all day! Haha! But yea. Thinkin about all that is what it so hard... I am thankful for ehat they have shared with us tho. I will forever be greatful for that. As the old saying goes, "Music sooths the savage beast"
I was born in the wrong generation I would of loved to meet SRV. I'm a big fan of him I'm trying to share his music to people so they can appreciate one of the best guitar players of all time.
If you ever see the session with Stevie and Albert King Stevie is SO respectful and called Albert “Sir.” When it comes to Pride and Joy Albert gave Stevie a look as if to say, That’s an OLD Blues riff how come you got so famous with it. SOUL is the answer to that.
This is easily one of my top 5 favorite songs of all time. Great blues-rock jam from start to finish. Oh, and Stevie's guitar solo, that starts at 1:56? It's just EPIC. I don't use that word often, as I think it's over-used, but I think it's appropriate here. RIP SRV. You are missed every single day, and not a day goes by that I don't listen to this song at least once.
Me too Natalie.Used to come to Nemohis around 85-87 .Memphis in May.Which is where l live.Stevie Ray Vaughn was Definitely an Eoic Guitarist and Vocalist.l sure miss Him.May S.R.V. R.I.P..😇🎸🎤🎶💯
There are some pretty good guitarists not many people ever heard of, they just didn't get their big lucky break. I saw one named Slink Rand who could give SRV and Nugent snd Hendrix a run for their money.
He was a great talent... 35 years old on August 1990 is Helicopter crashed . Foggy weather... R. I. P. 🙏🌹 I am listening to is album... The Sky is Crying What coincidence.
He sure did and it is so funny that two record producers had the audacity to tell him he could not sing...(did tell him, he could play the hell out of that guitar)....
Yeah such a unique sound to his voice how could anyone not notice? But I guess musical greatness is determined by the listener and everyone's different...
The thing that was so incredible about the way Stevie played was that he never held anything back. When he touched the strings on his guitar music surged out of every cell in his body. Full tilt and wide open all the way. No one else even comes close.
I always heard he was hard to work with because he was such a perfectionist but his music prevails I was in Indiana driving at night as a as a truck driver when his helicopter crashed I had to pull over on the side of the road and give tribute
This is one of my favorite songs of all time. Nothing else even comes close, period. SRV was well ahead of his time, and he died WAY too soon. The solo alone, which runs from 1:55 to 2:48, is truly epic, and it alone worth listening to this song several times. LONG LIVE SRV!
Right up there with Hendrix, Paige and Clapton just to name a few as a guitar player. Add in his lyric capabilities and unique sound, to 3 for me. Amazing talent that don’t come along to often anymore. RIP Stevie!
Hendrix was a sloppy player Clapton said it with his on mouth after there last night if playing together he said of Stevie playing what do we say after that. He said Stevie was a open channel never wondering where he would go next. Clapton are Hendrix was no match for Stevie ray Vaughan.
there's something i heard the DJ on the radio say the other day, "good things stick around forever". such is the case with SRV and so many others who died an untimely death, but left us their wonderful work.
i know im kinda maybe breaking a cardinal rule here on youtube but if ya wanna hear someone that sounds alot like stevie then go check out kokomo Indiana's own mike milligan and steam shovel, those guys are really good
My husband and I went on a road trip in 1990 when this song was popular. We broke down in the middle of the night and had to sleep in the car until we could call for a tow. This song played on the radio at least 4 or 5 times that night, so now we joke that this is “our song”.
Awesome showmanship on SRV’s behalf. He could have absolutely poured gasoline on the fire that Healy started with his solo, but SRV didn’t try to upstage him, he was very reserved on his next few licks. Such a 1st class act.
God...Stevie Ray in 1989 was in a real state of grace...there wasn't anything or anyone that could really stand in his way. Even trapped in an audio recording or videoclip his soul was and is still burning like a star.
In the decades since SRV's untimely passing, he has, like all great artists who die too soon, achieved a mythical status among the guitar Gods. While there are many who can lay claim to the title "G.O.A.T," none can and wouldn't say that they were better than the Man from Texas. R.I.P Stevie. Rest assured that your music will not diminish with the passage of time.
Epic. Just a kick-ass blues-rock song from start to finish. This is what happens when you put a master at the controls of a guitar and let him do his thing. This is music, and it makes you wonder why others even bother to try. The solo alone is something to behold. He makes that Strat cry, sing, yell, whisper, and talk...all at once! Miss you, SRV...every day! Can't wait to see you perform again in heaven!
SRV Forever, oct-3 1954 -Aug-27 1990...1st Album 1983- Texas Flood. 7 yr Solo career. He Played with 110 % all heart,sole and a Vioce of a god that Towers over everyone else. SRV lives on Forever.
Stephen Goss He’s chillin still smoking that guitar 🤫 every-time I hear a blues song about laying low , hiding out I think of Steve . I know it sounds crazy but I still feel his spirit hasn’t departed. 🃏
When someone invents a time machine, go back 8-26-90, find SRV, and tell him to avoid that helicopter at all cost! The world wasn't ready to lose his music.
S.R.V the blues rock legend and all around nice guy...and to think the first big concert he did, he was booed off stage.....well obviously one of the greatest of all time.
Day by day, night after night, Blinded by the neon lights. Hurry here, hustlin' there, No one's got the time to spare. Money's tight, nothin' free, Won't somebody come and rescue me?

Thanks for sharing your memories about SRV!
What hotel?
Dope !!Story about an ILL asss guitarist,Salute !!!!
PAUL LECLERC what’s that supposed to mean?
he used to be a king, but after he died he became a legend !!
+Enoque Mendes
"That's the truth" He lives forever In our hearts!!!!!
I agree!
Still the king!
thank god for this song !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He sure does. In Austin Texas down town there is a stature of him.
I've always felt that SRV never got enough recognition for his singing. He had a great voice.
preech!
Criminally underappreciated as his voice is overshadowed by his out of this world guitar skills.
I agree 100 percent!
Exactly
who has even tried to fill his shoes with the guitar
Sitting in the Nashville airport one afternoon. Waiting on Southwest. Decided to have a brew. I sat down and guess who was on my right. That's right. SRV. I thought this guy looks familiar. He had on a baseball cap and lots of jewelry. Finally it dawned on me whom im sitting beside. Turned out to be one of the most kindness and humblest guys ive yet to meet. He insisted on paying for everything. We actually ordered steak at the bar. I said hell no, I owe you this. His eyes welled up, he patted me on the back and said,thx for being real. That's coming from SRV. Truly a genuine man. I know,I got to eat a meal with him. A very real ,down to earth home cooked man. Miss you buddy. When we parted he said hey man thx for the conversation and meal. What a first class guy. No, executive class.
Every story about SRV is just like this. He was a great guy. In addition to his incredible chops.
Stevie was a Texan. Southerner. We're still like that.
Lol liar
Stevie was from OakCliff TX some of the best people I have met are from there. Down to earth .
Cool experience thanks for sharing
Best guitarist ever, but what a passionate singer as well.
I agree but what year was this song?
Mike Head 1989
Deniz Oktay It was a reference to going mud bogging after Michael glances at Kaylee Jenkins.
@@mikehead3534 36 zero travel time
Nah that would be Michael Schenker
One of the finest guitar players the world has seen and heard
RIP SRV
Can’t feel that twice. I haven’t.
I already knew he was great guitarist cause of his real famous songs. But I started listening to him more about a few months ago. He's so damn good. Like it's crazy.
# Legend of epic proportions !
Gone too soon !
I feel fortunate to have seen him live about a year before he passed . At that pointhad his personal life together enjoying sobriety.
May be R.I.P.
12 million views in 3 years. We are a lot of people.
I’m not a musician. But damn, that guitar playing sounds dead solid perfect.
It is man, as always when it comes to SRV
It is.
I dont think thats even a high enough compliment to one of if not the best to ever do it
Not only could SRV absolutely shred, he had some amazing pipes to boot.
People who don't understand some good-ass music
could stand alone on either one, yet he has both gifts
AWESOME! SRV is the man on guitar !!
Collectors
JP Lamunyon SRV died in a helicopter crash
My headphones can't play this song at the volume it deserves.
Simon Birk truest shit I've read on this post.
Got me some V-Moda's they kick... Amazon for $130
That is because you aren't supposed to use headphones. You are supposed to lay a pillow on the floor, place speakers facing towards center of pillow at approximately 18 inches from center , turn volume to 1 Db under your speakers distortion level, then lay your head on a little bit of heaven for 4 minutes and 10 seconds.
Yes
I know just what you mean.
Man, Heaven must be having one kick-ass concert.
Preach
LOL. Where do you think all that music originates from? He had the natural guitar skills and voice, the music and words originated from the other side. Nothing originates here, it all flows from higher dimensions down. SRV was a gifted instrumentalist, but he was simply a portal for the rest.
Which means that when you RETURN to the higher realms you will have access to all that and much more you've never heard before.
I was blaring this last week and a little old black man stopped and asked what I was playing....he said he hadn’t heard good stuff like that in forever....I felt validated...lol
Enough said
Yep. Hard to believe it's been SOOO long since he passed. I'm twice as old now as I was when he died. I have pics of his grave the night he was buried. I cherish everything I have that brings him back for a bit
❤❤❤
This is better than any drug out there!

There once was a time when guitar gods roamed the earth. RIP SRV
This is a sound this entire decade is not capable of recreating due to lack of talent.
I wouldn't say lack of talent. Lack of taste, most definitely.
There's plenty of talent in today's young artists ..it's not recognized that well ..or smthg.

Me also😢💘🙏
That guitar is just an extension of his arm!
So true , he brought back blues rock to the highest level !!!
Jesus would sit through a SRV concert and tell him, "My son, it matter not the day you go, you're going to see my father, because you are heavenly."
He was a great talent...

Yeah SRV and his voice surely not appreciated. Guitar playing ... one of the best .......... ever
Brilliant...
Won't somebody come and rescue me @Jesus...
3:54 to end... Perfect...
SRV insisted and persisted and didn't take no on being taught by B.B. king. Couldn't have asked and learned from any better of a good friend!
.yes he is a legend I'm 72 years old I've always loved this guy
Well Thank God for good music period
Only one thing to say: SRV forever!!!!!!!
Steve miller band
18 months sober arguably his best record , taken by God far to soon .
🎸🙏🇺🇲🇦🇺🥃🥃
😅❤❤❤❤❤❤
The thing that was so incredible about the way Stevie played was that he never held anything back. When he touched the strings on his guitar music surged out of every cell in his body. Full tilt and wide open all the way. No one else even comes close.
Hi, how are you? 🙂
@@CharlesRonald-sc9zb Still caught in the crossfire and missing SRV.
@@deborahparham3783 It’s a pleasure to meet you through these network
I am Charles
Where are you from and where do you live?
I always heard he was hard to work with because he was such a perfectionist but his music prevails I was in Indiana driving at night as a as a truck driver when his helicopter crashed I had to pull over on the side of the road and give tribute
Thank you it's true 🙂
That base line is vicious and that snare drum with stevie at lead .........perfection.....nuff said.....
Well said!!!!!
I play bass, and It's cool, but a really simple bass line..
Got his shit together and died,life aint right sometimes
the greatest to ever pick up a guitar
This is one of my favorite songs of all time. Nothing else even comes close, period. SRV was well ahead of his time, and he died WAY too soon. The solo alone, which runs from 1:55 to 2:48, is truly epic, and it alone worth listening to this song several times. LONG LIVE SRV!
I had to comment on this too. It's impossible to not be moved by that solo
My favorite SRV song.
Right up there with Hendrix, Paige and Clapton just to name a few as a guitar player. Add in his lyric capabilities and unique sound, to 3 for me. Amazing talent that don’t come along to often anymore. RIP Stevie!
not to forget Taj...
Greatest axeman second to none period.
@@sethvillarreal1316 amen to that
Hendrix was a sloppy player Clapton said it with his on mouth after there last night if playing together he said of Stevie playing what do we say after that. He said Stevie was a open channel never wondering where he would go next. Clapton are Hendrix was no match for Stevie ray Vaughan.
How could anyone put All them in the category as Stevie?
Hendrix, Vaughan, Marley...all amazing..all died wayyy too young.
You missed out Moore!
Legends are never forgotten. This man had more talent then brain cells we have in our heads
@ David Mish. I totally agree. He was one of a kind and always will be. ♥️✝️
there's something i heard the DJ on the radio say the other day, "good things stick around forever". such is the case with SRV and so many others who died an untimely death, but left us their wonderful work.
than brain cells. not then brain cells. you're right.
Heroes get remembered. But Legends never die!!
i miss stevie ray vaughan, a great guitarist and vocalist...
i know im kinda maybe breaking a cardinal rule here on youtube but if ya wanna hear someone that sounds alot like stevie then go check out kokomo Indiana's own mike milligan and steam shovel, those guys are really good
The bass in this song is absolutely phenomenal
I love it when he double pumps the string.
NOBODY should underestimate that double stop bend vibrato at the intro either.
That snare, Stevie's guitar, and Stevie's voice make for an eargasm 🤘
I think Reese Wynans' incredible Hammond B3 work also deserves some appreciation. Reese actually co-wrote the song.
Gone way too soon this man's music was outstanding😢
My husband and I went on a road trip in 1990 when this song was popular. We broke down in the middle of the night and had to sleep in the car until we could call for a tow. This song played on the radio at least 4 or 5 times that night, so now we joke that this is “our song”.
Awesome showmanship on SRV’s behalf. He could have absolutely poured gasoline on the fire that Healy started with his solo, but SRV didn’t try to upstage him, he was very reserved on his next few licks. Such a 1st class act.
This guy is totally freaking amazing. Love his playing , his singing, and his unique clothing style. Total package.
God...Stevie Ray in 1989 was in a real state of grace...there wasn't anything or anyone that could really stand in his way. Even trapped in an audio recording or videoclip his soul was and is still burning like a star.
A legend, SRV! So, so sad he's gone but his music still lives on!!!
Stevie ray vaugahn camino de fuego❤❤❤
Rip SRV you are loved and missed so much it hurts rest easy you beautiful talented humble funny soul ❤
Go Stevie...Rockin in Heaven.
Absolutely.!!! ROCKIN LIKE A KING.
If Marty Mcfly had played for the festival in 1885 Hill Valley.
In the decades since SRV's untimely passing, he has, like all great artists who die too soon, achieved a mythical status among the guitar Gods. While there are many who can lay claim to the title "G.O.A.T," none can and wouldn't say that they were better than the Man from Texas. R.I.P Stevie. Rest assured that your music will not diminish with the passage of time.
Saw him live 4 times, he was amazing...
Stevie - native Texas son - we miss you!!
This song by SRV is still relevant today. Timeless song. Great guitarist and lyricist. Sadly he left too soon.
I’ve been playin since
Every time I hear sweet ballads I dream of my babies and the woman that left......
Am I that bad
Some people I know say SRV sucks and can't play a guitar. But to me he's a Legend forever rocking in Heaven.
Some people are currently residing in hell.
So much control, its unbelievable.
cross fire is incredible talent I LOVE that lead ! S R V !
Mark McKeown oh yes that solo and the tone was sweet
Mark McKeown
James Evans t. ,
Kids learning guitar. 🤘🤘🤘❤️
Listen to this beast
The truth right here 💓
Stevie and Clapton 🎸
That's who you learn from ❤️💯
Still the greatest
RIP and long live Stevie Ray Vaughan (October 3, 1954 - August 27, 1990), aged 35
You will always be remembered as a legend.
Epic. Just a kick-ass blues-rock song from start to finish. This is what happens when you put a master at the controls of a guitar and let him do his thing. This is music, and it makes you wonder why others even bother to try. The solo alone is something to behold. He makes that Strat cry, sing, yell, whisper, and talk...all at once! Miss you, SRV...every day! Can't wait to see you perform again in heaven!
I have to be honest this is my all time favorite song ever
Wow, what a rhythm section! Chris "Whipper" Leyton and Tommy Shannon.
So much Albert King in his playing .
22/05/2018 : Who's still listening ?
Updated : 15/11/2020 :)
twod. twod. ME
good me too
same here man
always listening
To this day, and everyday other day I am still on this earth...
Is this the baddest bass line or what??!
Thumbs down, fools? Why? The man was trying to express his feelings in the only way he knew.......
Kicks so much ass. Stevie Ray lives!!
SRV Forever,
oct-3 1954 -Aug-27 1990...1st Album 1983- Texas Flood.
7 yr Solo career. He Played with 110 % all heart,sole and a Vioce of a god that Towers over everyone else.
SRV lives on Forever.
Stephen Goss He’s chillin still smoking that guitar 🤫 every-time I hear a blues song about laying low , hiding out I think of Steve . I know it sounds crazy but I still feel his spirit hasn’t departed. 🃏
When someone invents a time machine, go back 8-26-90, find SRV, and tell him to avoid that helicopter at all cost! The world wasn't ready to lose his music.
S.R.V the blues rock legend and all around nice guy...and to think the first big concert he did, he was booed off stage.....well obviously one of the greatest of all time.
Day by day, night after night,
Blinded by the neon lights.
Hurry here, hustlin' there,
No one's got the time to spare.
Money's tight, nothin' free,
Won't somebody come and rescue me?
I am stranded, caught in the crossfire
Stranded, caught in the crossfire.
Tooth for tooth, eye for an eye.
Sell your soul just to buy, buy, buy.
Beggin' a dollar, stealin' a dime,
Come on can't you see that I
I am stranded, caught in the crossfire
I am stranded, caught in the crossfire.
I need some kind of kindness,
some kind of sympathy oh, no
We're stranded, caught in the crossfire
Save the strong lose the weak,
Never turning the other cheek.
Trust nobody don't be no fool,
Whatever happened to the golden rule?
We got stranded, caught in the crossfire
We got stranded, caught in the crossfire
We got stranded, caught in the crossfire
Stranded, caught in the crossfire
Help me.
