Yes, he would've been twice as big if he'd lived. He was quickly becoming the bridge between straight blues and R&R. I know he would've toured the Family Style album with Jimmie Vaughan and probably produced ZZ Top & John Mayer along the way
"I like all kinds of music, there's room for everything, that gives it room for me too" This guy's soul is even more beautiful than his guitar playing. Saw him in concert once and at the end of the show he said "Take care of each other". Thanks for all that great music.
Barb in Dallas here. Miss him everyday. Every show with SRV is the best show I ever saw. A favorite of mine didn't involve a single note. Every birthday Bo and Jim from Q102 radio would prank call him, his gorgeous girlfriend would answer (she was in on it) and within three words Stevie would yell Dammit Bo, I was just about to get my ....coffee on,...Guitar on,...shower on... yea right, you're Stevie Ray Vaughn !!
Stevie kicked ass before he got clean and sober, and then he just got even better afterward. I remember the day he died; that was some damn sad news. RIP Stevie.
really sad he has left us all so so early, but I guess he is very much still with us and his beautiful guitar work, music and that great band!! RIP SRV :)
Hi Barb. I live in Wisconsin and was at his last show at Alpine Valley. He was absolutely on fire that night. I'll never forget it or any of the other SRV shows I saw. Always a consummate guitar GOD and very underrated. The Fire Meets the Fury Tour with Beck sticks out for me because I was in the front row, just turned 21 and it punctuated the best year of my life. Nice to hear from a fellow SRV fan. Thanks :)
Miss Stevie and miss seeing Arsenio on TV too. He was cool. He shook up late night TV like Stevie shook up the rock/blues guitar world. Very humble guy, smoking hot guitar player. Won't be another like him.
I can't imagine what the poor band is feelin every time they hear SRV. I am a musician and can understand what they are going through. As a fan I still cry and know where I was when I heard the news. Sad but lucky to have been alive to witness this amazing man.
It would be the greatest moment of my life if I got the chance to play and talk with Stevie. Even for as little as 5 mins. Just his story of him becoming this superstar, then getting hooked on drugs until the point of almost dying, and then he was able to get help and get over his drug problem and then right after that...died in a helicopter crash leaving a concert . We lost one of the greatest musicians ever that day. RIP SRV
Stevie was one of our stars, and stars burn bright, then they burn out...........He did what he came here to do, make us happy with his talent, but only for a little while. Now he is one of our stars in the sky..........Burn Bright 4 Us Stevie, we miss U....
In just a tad over 7 months, it will have been 30 years since I heard the news. I followed him from a dive club in Austin all the way through. What a loss.
seen alot of players doin all kinds of music and never did any of them play it like srv!!!!! the ease of witch he played and the love the man put into every note was inspiring to all that had the priviledge to hear him lay it down!!!! RIP SRV
Very cool video. I love stevie and really miss him. But, i know he's in heaven lookin down on all his fans and he probly cant believe that people still love him and his music. love ya stevie
The legend Stevie Ray Vaughan ..blue's and rock n roll that's the phenominal sounds your hearing..Great band..Stevie is number one around the globe and he is famously on that strat..That guitar played over the head or behind his back..Cool..way to go Stevie..your the BEST..
Stevie was such a humble man. But when he smiled it lit up the room, and it makes me smile really really big too. It's a shame he isn't here anymore. R.I.P. Stevie I miss you everyday!!!!!
Stevie was just a very humble outstanding person...everyone learns from everyone and contributes their own uniqueness to music...just a beautiful guy and what a player,what a loss...Stevie is alive somewhere lookin down on us all.
stevie was such a nice easy going guy.his life was cut short way too early and in such a tragic way.i am thankful for the music he was allowed to give us
Very cool post :D The World of Blues got robbed when we lost SRV. The likes of him will prolly come across not even in the next 100 He's like the Abe Lincoln of blues ~ a player who unified over race, culture, creed he just fucked rocked on his guitars way too short his time to leave his life & craft Lots of imitators, but only one SRV
yea prolly is phonetically much easier 2 say than 'probably' .. ever read Jack London there, genius? He actually made up his own lexicon; his own words, a pure, simple, personalized, customized way of speaking/ conveying himself thru words.. very much like -- SRV There r very, very few musicians who have talent like SRV 2 both sing & play equally amazing, & the thrust of my msg I posted was/ is damn what a fantastic brilliance SRV showed the world, in a very brief time.. We see shadows of him in others, but they fall far short of the star otherwise known as SRV & 2 make it thru the fire of addiction, 2 come out into the light?! Better than ever, as in this posting? We're lucky we had him alive & playing/ singing long as we did * try saying 'prolly' & then say 'probably' right after.. hear the difference?! it's smoother, cooler -- same meaning. The Queen's English damn sure has no business w/ this Marine ~ Toodles, Gov' nah !! :D CWO5 Wolf/ Airwing 714/ USMC
I really envy you, I can't imagine how good that must have been... I discovered him about 3 months ago and all I can say is wow... They just don't make 'em like they used to
I used to love the Arsenio show and him too! He always had great guest and had questions for them and Arsenio was very genuine. He should get a show again.
I used to watch Arsenio Hall show everyday when it was on TV..He would have every type of music artists from every genre..From rap to thrash metal really.. He was very cool
A talent without equal and an awesome human being. It brings me to tears to hear and watch him play now. I can't believe he's gone. Rest in peace, Stevie.
A class act, all the way. How humble & dignified is he. Look up gentleman & love in the dictionary and S.R.V will come up. Jimmie must have been absolutely devastated
A quote from Stevie's song is in Vegas on one of the buildings, possibly one of the casinos. It was in the movie 21, and when I saw the quote and then his name I yelled "Yeah Stevie!!!!!" Let's just say everyone else was looking at me. Great performance like always. R.I.P. Stevie!!!!!
I love SRV. He made a great choice in his bandmates too. Reese Winans was one heckuva keyboard player and addition to the band. Stevie always focused the credit on his influences and bandmates. He got even better after he got clean. Total class and inspiration.
There's only one Stevie Ray Vaughan also and he is a legend in blue's and Rock n roll..a great singer and song writer and producer of his music..What an entertainer and has a fantastic band..RIP Stevie
I did see SRV play once in Dallas, in a way I would say he reinvented the blues. It seemed for 2 hrs god came down to visit us we all sat spellbound, I've never seen any gtrist before or after not just blues gtrist any better or even close. That cld play like him. 3 wks later I saw him at a Thai joint, I was star struck but I got up my nerve and tld him he was the grtest guitar player in the wrld he with Lenny they both laughed then I laughed and he said "thx man".
My favorite part of the video is when SRV performs The House is Rockin' & where he's a show off with is peacock tattoo, Stevie sure gets the ladies attention with that.
This was Stevie after he got it back together... you can watch his "Austin City Limits" DVD and see the amazing difference... His playing was always intense, but after he kicked drugs it was like playing guitar was nothing to him. You can see how effortless his bends and playing were... No less intense, but he just blows through it. Miss you Stevie!
Arsenio, the man who put arse ....into his own name! He went bankrupt not long ago, shame.SRV promoting his best album, tragic that he is no longer with us, no one could play blues like Stevie RIP.
Does anyone know when this episode aired? Music lovers, guitar lovers, and Blues lovers lost a very special person that brought a style that was HIS and HIS alone. He owned it and his music and style will continue to live and breathe as long as there are fans out there that love his music. He is rockin' Heaven with his guitar. We Miss You Stevie Ray Vaughan-escmac
This Is great!!! the most personal iterview I have ever seen of him. Is there more you can put up?, I would love to see the rest of it. Oh and I do miss the Arcinio Hall show he had lots of talent on that show, I have no idea why it was pulled from the air. Thanks again
People always focus on his guitar playing (rightfully so) but Stevie was also an excellent singer.
Yes! I’m in love with his voice ❤️
He had a great voice with a distinctive sound.
Same could have been said about Jeff Healey
Agreed. He is a hell of a singer
Humble man. He's the reason I started playing guitar.
Man, Stevie was a class act. When Arseno asks him about people comparing him to Hendrix he says....There's only one Jimi Hendrix.
Sharon Mynes Stevie Ray was better than Jimi Hendrix!
@@4redniwediS - Not on his best night but he was close.
justafanintexas the way I see it, there is one Hendrix, and there is one SRV.
There is no SRV without Hendrix
@@AlexFrezCorrea SRV could play Hendrix better than Hendrix
You just have to love SRV, even if you don't know a thing about blues music or any music for that matter.. I miss him tremendously..
Yes, he would've been twice as big if he'd lived. He was quickly becoming the bridge between straight blues and R&R. I know he would've toured the Family Style album with Jimmie Vaughan and probably produced ZZ Top & John Mayer along the way
Backing track in D
Such a soft-spoken man for the music he played.
one of the greatest guitarists to ever draw breath. RIP SRV
He's so polite and soft spoken
Surprising how soft spoken he was. You'd never know this is the same guy who sang and played with such energy.
I miss seeing Stevie Ray play live so much. The tour he did with Jeff Beck is still to this day the best show I ever saw.
u lucky duck I was born to late 1990 I missed a chance to see him live
hard to watch without feeling extremely sad
I know, can't believe I saw him twice, 1984 & 1990, wish I could remember more about the shows or tried to meet him
It's heartbreaking. Such a lovely man.
@@jennifersman7990 wow, at least you saw him perform... so amazing... 👍🏼
@@maryspencer4975 i met his brother, i wish i would’ve met stevie
@@paul1060 I saw Stevie and his brother on the riverboat in New Orleans. Great show. Jimmy seems like a good guy. Glad you were able to meet him.
"I like all kinds of music, there's room for everything, that gives it room for me too" This guy's soul is even more beautiful than his guitar playing. Saw him in concert once and at the end of the show he said "Take care of each other". Thanks for all that great music.
Love that man always will so sweet reminds me of my little brother
walkin' up the street @1:45 his voice goes double octave in a split second. DUDE, that's CRAZEEEEEEE !!!!!!!!!!
At first I thought it was a fourth. Nope, really cool little microsecond blip into the next octave. Not sure he meant to do it, but it sounded neat.
I didnt knock. I just came to this and had no idea he did the Arsenio Hall show., Sweet mercy. Thank you for posting . Bless ya Stevie♥
Double Trouble were so tight. Locked in. Great stuff! SRV was a hero to me.
tell u what that man been thru ten lifetimes by 35 he lived more than most ..celebrate we had him on this earth
Doyle Bramhall Sr. wrote this with Stevie.. RIP Doyle, too. Whatta jam !
how happy he looks
Barb in Dallas here. Miss him everyday. Every show with SRV is the best show I ever saw. A favorite of mine didn't involve a single note.

Amazing how shy he seems during interviews. Put a guitar on him......and BOOOM! Love me some SRV!
i feel so lucky having got to see him live a few times
5-stars
a true legend, taken way too early from us
SRV is the best EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
quote:
"I've said that playing the blues is like having to be black twice. Stevie Ray Vaughan missed on both counts, but I never noticed."

Stevie kicked ass before he got clean and sober, and then he just got even better afterward. I remember the day he died; that was some damn sad news. RIP Stevie.
really sad he has left us all so so early, but I guess he is very much still with us and his beautiful guitar work, music and that great band!!
RIP SRV :)
"Yeah...yeah..."
What amazing interview skills he possessed.
What a talent! Who said white boys have no rhythm? They were wrong!!!!!!!
Talkin Bout Nawlins Idiot
@Talkin Bout Nawlins You're one special moron
Simply a Master. We love and miss you brother! I hope you're still rocking the afterlife!!!!
Hi Barb. I live in Wisconsin and was at his last show at Alpine Valley. He was absolutely on fire that night. I'll never forget it or any of the other SRV shows I saw. Always a consummate guitar GOD and very underrated. The Fire Meets the Fury Tour with Beck sticks out for me because I was in the front row, just turned 21 and it punctuated the best year of my life.

Miss Stevie and miss seeing Arsenio on TV too. He was cool. He shook up late night TV like Stevie shook up the rock/blues guitar world. Very humble guy, smoking hot guitar player. Won't be another like him.
He was such a sweet and humble guy. What a loss.
RIP SRV. What a gift..
this guy did really did rock the blues so cool amazing guitarist
incredible stevie ray vaughan, i hearda about him first time in july 1989!!!!! in acapulco!!!! with some friends of San Mateo California....
I can't imagine what the poor band is feelin every time they hear SRV. I am a musician and can understand what they are going through.
As a fan I still cry and know where I was when I heard the news. Sad but lucky to have been alive to witness this amazing man.

Stevie's like "Everybody I Ever Heard"
"Really?"
"YEAHHHH!!!!!"
Stevie was one of our stars, and stars burn bright, then they burn out...........He did what he came here to do, make us happy with his talent, but only for a little while. Now he is one of our stars in the sky..........Burn Bright 4 Us Stevie, we miss U....
Some HOT piano playing by Reese Waynes here! He added a lot to Stevie's band!
Great historical document. Thanks for posting.
In just a tad over 7 months, it will have been 30 years since I heard the news. I followed him from a dive club in Austin all the way through. What a loss.

SRV was so talented. He set that benchmark so high.
I also love his fender strat that always had SRV on it. My dad I used to just sit and watch him play guitar for hours on tv.
Very cool video. I love stevie and really miss him. But, i know he's in heaven lookin down on all his fans and he probly cant believe that people still love him and his music. love ya stevie
Thanks for posting this. Stevie is a true legend... His passion, intensity and ability were truly mazing. He's sadly missed.. RIP Stevie...

As awesome of a guitar player as he was, he always stepped aside for the other awesome musicians in the band...hat's off SRV!
As good as anybody who ever picked up a guitar in my opinion. What a shame the world lost him so young. The one guy I would have loved to see live.
I literally shed a few tears the day he died. The best and was bringin these great Blues back to life. God Bless you SRV!
stevie was such a nice easy going guy.his life was cut short way too early and in such a tragic way.i am thankful for the music he was allowed to give us
Thanks texasp1, I was at this taping of the arsenio hall show and experience SRV and was hooked. I was an 8th grader!
Great vid! Thanks so much. I'll always love you Stevie.
Very cool post :D
The World of Blues got robbed when we lost SRV. The likes of him will prolly come across not even in the next 100
He's like the Abe Lincoln of blues ~ a player who unified over race, culture, creed he just fucked rocked on his guitars way too short his time to leave his life & craft
Lots of imitators, but only one SRV
"Prolly?" What language you speakee? Or, did you mean "probably?" LOL!
yea prolly is phonetically much easier 2 say than 'probably' .. ever read Jack London there, genius? He actually made up his own lexicon; his own words, a pure, simple, personalized, customized way of speaking/ conveying himself thru words.. very much like -- SRV

tripjet999 haha you prolly haven't run into many country boys
Stevie was so humble person! so rare!!
It was so good to see him healthy and focused after he kicked drugs. He was inspiring in so many ways.
I really envy you, I can't imagine how good that must have been... I discovered him about 3 months ago and all I can say is wow... They just don't make 'em like they used to
How can you not love that man?
I used to love the Arsenio show and him too! He always had great guest and had questions for them and Arsenio was very genuine. He should get a show again.
I used to watch Arsenio Hall show everyday when it was on TV..He would have every type of music artists from every genre..From rap to thrash metal really.. He was very cool
Stevie was truly cool people man. I love rap and hip hop and I grew up knowing nothing else but that. But damn bro, SRV is THE MAN! The dude is truth.
Stevie was one of the all time Greats.
His fans miss him.
The greater the individual, the less they fear anything. Stevie was absolutely one of the greatest...so he had to fear no one.
un genio srv. el mejor de todos!!!.
Love and miss you forever. SRV 💙
I saw srv open up for Robert Plant in Hartford CT must be 88 or 89. He really was outrageously good, winging his guitar around. Amazing.
So happy to have had his music in my lifetime.
A talent without equal and an awesome human being. It brings me to tears to hear and watch him play now. I can't believe he's gone. Rest in peace, Stevie.
A class act, all the way. How humble & dignified is he. Look up gentleman & love in the dictionary and S.R.V will come up. Jimmie must have been absolutely devastated
I remember this..what a sad year it was...Nothin' like some basic rock and roll..He did it all,...and I say that as a lover of straight blues..
what a great guitarist and a great man!
RIP Ray
God I miss this man's talent..
You and me both. Not just the talent, though. Stellar human being. Still can't believe he's gone. Doesn't seem real.
What a nice guy he was and a great musician.
A quote from Stevie's song is in Vegas on one of the buildings, possibly one of the casinos. It was in the movie 21, and when I saw the quote and then his name I yelled "Yeah Stevie!!!!!" Let's just say everyone else was looking at me. Great performance like always. R.I.P. Stevie!!!!!
STEVIE GOT ME THROUGH VERY HARD TIME IN MY LIFE TOO, FRIEND!. 2006 CHRISTMAS ALONE, JUST ME AN THE BOYS "AUSTIN CITY LIMITS" DVD...
I love SRV. He made a great choice in his bandmates too. Reese Winans was one heckuva keyboard player and addition to the band. Stevie always focused the credit on his influences and bandmates. He got even better after he got clean. Total class and inspiration.
SRV & Double trouble is one of the few truly COMPLETE bands in history
I love this song.
SRV ...We all Miss you....The day that you went and still do. Rest In Peace.
There's only one Stevie Ray Vaughan also and he is a legend in blue's and Rock n roll..a great singer and song writer and producer of his music..What an entertainer and has a fantastic band..RIP Stevie

Absolutely. God bless him.
Awesome Interview
Stevies jammin with Roy Buchanan in R&B heaven....I sure can hear em !
It's not what you lost, but what you gained.
I would have like to see the rest of the interview.
You know, I think you're right. God Bless Stevie Ray Vaughan.
This Is great!!! the most personal iterview I have ever seen of him. Is there more you can put up?, I would love to see the rest of it. Oh and I do miss the Arcinio Hall show he had lots of talent on that show, I have no idea why it was pulled from the air. Thanks again

Fuck yea, Best attitude a musician can have, "Having room for everything" I rarely here that anymore RIP Steve
