    His live version of this song in "Live at El Mocambo" is the holy grail of live guitar performances. This particular performance isn't his best or even in his top 3 live versions of this song (believe it or not).

    You have got to check out Stevie Ray Vaughn's Life Without You at the Capitol Theater, NJ. He wrote this song about his friend. This is a must see along with a legendary performance of Tin Pan Alley with Johnny Copeland, another must see. Also know that Stevie Ray plays with a high gauge string, I forget how high, but guitarists usually comment on how unbelievable it is that Stevie Ray could bend that gauge as he does. Please react to both of these.

That is both a commitment to his music and his audience and a testimony to Stevie and the dedication to his art. Really glad you've done this deep dive into his music. Thanks.

    The bass player is Tommy Shannon from Edgar and Johnny Winter’s bands, I think you asked yesterday. Chris Layton plays drums. This is their victory lap return to Montreux Jazz Festival, where they were booed 3 years before as the first unsigned band to play there. But they’d met David Bowie there, who hired Stevie to play on his ‘Let’s Dance’ album, and Jackson Browne, who gave them free studio time, where they just played their standard set through twice and had their first album, ‘Texas Flood’. When Stevie was truly “on”, he’d almost go into a trance, tap into the music source, hold on, and let it play through him. I was blessed to see him play many times, and I’ve never seen anything like it. It felt like God was present, because no man could play like that, not in Stevie, but playing through him. I don’t know how else to describe it. Before the El Mocambo show, which is the best I’ve seen recorded to show that trancelike state he’d get into, Chris and Tommy said they couldn’t wake him up. Then he popped up and walked out onto the stage and started playing. He plays a lot of early stuff, a lot of Hendrix, his couple of hits, but everything is unbelievable. “Texas Flood”, of course, is definitive, but his cover of Hendrix’s “Little Wing” at El Mocambo is maybe the most beautiful, unsettling, emotional thing I’ve ever seen him do that was recorded.

  • @Donnagilbert6497

    You should listen to "Riviera Paradise." Stevie recorded his part of the song in one take at the end of a recording session. The song wound up being the last track on the last studio album produced during Stevie's lifetime. Stevie said he wrote the song "for all of the people who are hurting."

    SRV Archive origins of the Hamiltone....
    "Hamiltone Lurktamer Stratocaster “The Main”
    This was a custom Stratocaster-style guitar made for Stevie by James Hamilton in Buffalo, NY. It was presented to Vaughan by James as a gift from Billy Gibbons on April 29, 1984.
    This guitar features a 2-piece maple body and a 3-piece "neck-through body" design. It also originally had EMG preamped pickups, but Stevie didn't like the pickups in it.
    His next music video was about to be made, which was "Couldn't Stand the Weather" and he didn't want to get Number One wet during filming, so he used the Hamiltone for filming.
    During the recording of this video the pickups were damaged, and soon after replaced with vintage Fender single-coils. The EMG pickups and Gibson style amber top hat knobs were changed in June 1984.

    If you can play, you can play behind yer back....
    Thank you for not freaking over the playing behind the back...
    I admit... The transition he made is the smoothest I've ever seen, and worthy of note...
    But as a serious off and on Professional guitarist of over 50 years... With a penchant for Blues/Boogie....
    I'm here to tell you..As you prolly know...Once you can play with yer eye's closed [Something every budding guitar player should practice] You can play behind yer back... Been doin' it since I was 13 years old....
    Thing is... Most people... Like Hendrix... Would just pull it up behind their head...
    Difference with SRV is the strap swap at the tail of the ax...And he did it smooth as silk...
    Things like that are cool and look good on stage, but that's all it is, is 'eye candy' for the 'uninitiated'...
    What made SRV SRV, is the simple fact that he played a guitar like no one else has, before, or since... And may well never again...

    This is the third different live version of Texas flood I've seen-this one I would rate as third best-one by the shout factory would be rated #2 where Stevie breaks a string after he goes behind the back-changes guitar and continues playing behind his back with the second guitar-however the Best version is the Live at the Mocambo version there is not as much cutting away from Stevie-he's dripping buckets of sweat and the behind the back move is seen more clearly and closeup.

This performance is good, but this is a pared down version of the Live from the El Mocambo version. Not sure if you picked this version for song length, but you've cheated yourself out of the very best live version of this song.

    Hi my friend my name is Gary Thomas I’m 71 years old and I love Listening to classic rock. I wish I could find your Jimi Hendrix tape to put this mote But I will cross my fingers and hope that you see this. You asked for some suggestions and I would suggest you listen to machine gun off of his live at the Fillmore Album. I think you will like it and I believe it shows his true genius. Thanks a lot and please send me a comment if you can
