One piece of video I wish existed was SRV’s final performance when he shared the stage with Clapton. Everyone, even Chris his drummer said SRV was on fire that night. RIP SRV.
Stevie was chewing that Nicorette gum! He was in his 3rd year of sobriety & decided to get rid of his last addiction, cigarettes. I can barely walk & chew gum at the same time & there he is, singing, playing & chewing. So good to see him healthier, happier & having fun on stage. Thanks for doing this one, Chod. Even though it's not the best quality video, I thought you'd get a kick out of it.💙
I was at his last concert at Alpine Valley. I was aware of his comeback from drug abuse, and respected that, but I was just a 20 something myself at that time. I was under the influence of "things" at that concert and just wanted to score with my girlfriend at the time. Driving home the next morning and hearing about the helicopter crash, I had to pull over in Fond du Lac and gather my thoughts and senses. It was such a sobering realization. That whole event changed my entire perspective on life in so many ways, I can't explain it all, but I still mourn Stevie's loss. I'm grateful for the life lessons I learned from it, but damn, if only we could get another SRV album to enjoy.
OMG!! First Beck, then Marriott, now Beck & Stevie Ray - I am loving this. Just throw in some Gary Moore, Rory Gallagher, Bonamassa, and of course more Marriott anytime and I'll be in blues guitar heaven! This is what I call great music - THANK YOU...
and how could I forget Beth... I am overdosing with happiness at all the great music you have been featuring lately Chod. Please keep it up. Great job.
I saw them on this tour at the USF Sun Dome in Tampa, Florida. They traded who would open the show. One night Jeff would open and Stevie would open the next. They would do "I'm Going Down" as the encore. Two of my favorite guitar players on stage together.
I was fortunate to see Jeff and Stevie when they were on this tour. Jeff Opened up and was great. Stevie then came on and light the place on fire. This song was the encore and bot the killed it. Two Giants of the fretboard
Some might view this as a guitar duel between two competing guitar wizards. I don't. I see it as an exciting collaboration between two stellar musicians who respect and admire each other. Plus, along with the lucky members of the audience, Stevie and Jeff were having one hell of a good time ....
Jeff Beck, Live At Ronnie Scott's doing STRATUS , it was originally done by Billy Cobham and Tommy Bolin on the SPECTRUM album , of which you have already heard the song QUADRANT FOUR , but any song from Live at Ronnie Scott's is incredible !!!!!!!
The original recording of Jeff Beck doing Going Down, was with The Jeff Beck Group album, released in May of 1972. You need to check that out. The Jeff Beck Group line up on that album, Jeff Beck, guitars, Bob Tench vocals, Max Middleton , keyboards, Cozy Powell, drums, and Clive Chaman, bass, did two albums together. Rough And Ready and The Jeff Beck Group. This song is on the album, The Jeff Beck group.
Hey brother I got to see this tour when they came through landover md at the capital center and it was mesmerizing and spiritual all at once. I was blessed because it was only a few months later when Stevie died but will never forget that night with these two giants
If you want to do a 3rd version of this number, check out Joe Bonamassa doing this. It stands up on its own and not to compare them, but Joe’s version is also a terrific performance. Please try to get into Joe Bonamassa too. He looked up to SRV as a teenager. P. S……. Do the version at the Greek Theater. The first thing you will notice is the great surprise of the keyboardist!!! Take a guess who it is…… I’ll wait.
Dude...you do a really good job. Saw Stevie in 1985 with Albert King opening. Stevie always understood respect for his "elders" as he would say. Blues works just that way. Jeff Beck fell into that "elders" category.
I saw both of them at the same time. SRV opened for Beck. Stevie was super awesome, amazing and you can see. And Beck was simply bitchin! I forgot about Stevie when Beck started playing. Oh man what a show.
Check Jeff Healey “Can You See the Light”. Jeff, RIP was a phenomenal guitar player and singer. He was also blind and had a unique style of playing. So much heart and soul in him.
By far the best guitarist in the minds of many, Allan Holdsworth! Although fusion is not always everyone's favorite type of music, Holdsworth's skill was otherworldly!
Not many people can stand on stage with SRV and hold their own. ...I will say this Jeff Beck has probably played with all the greats, like Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Clapton, BB King , Santana, the list goes on.
SRV ~ 🎸🐐 The song was written by Don Nix, but is generally considered to be a Freddie King song. Regardless, SRV and Beck killed it. SRV and Beck: aka, Fire and Fury
so.. we were 12th row for this concert... not long before Stevie passed RIP. I'm glad he got all cleaned up and embraced his life beforehand. The song is GOING DOWN.. not I'M DOWN.. just fwiw
You wanna see greats sharing the stage check out Joni Mitchell, Pat Metheny, Jaco Pastorius, and Michael Brecker from their performances on Joni Mitchell's tour of '79..Pastorius show's why he was head and shoulders above any bass player, in my view...The guy was dropped down from some other place and time, and tragically gone way too soon.
I am currently reading a biography on on Jaco Pastorius. I had never heard of him until recently as I am not really into Jazz, but am so happy to have discovered him. What drew me in originally were the parallels between his life story and that of my fav rock hero - Steve Marriott. Both were child prodigies, both were very high IQ yet struggled in school due to likely ADD, both could pick up any instrument and be playing it proficiently in hours, both struggled with mental illness from their late 20's and both self medicated with cocaine and alcohol. Sadly, both of these geniuses spiraled downward and died way too early. Look fwd to looking for the concert w/Joni.
@@cindyfalstrom7231 Jaco was Bipolar..I have a son who is bipolar with psychosis (psychotic episodes) that could last for months..I get the impression Jaco may have suffered from the same thing, which in the end could have gotten him killed..I worry about that happening to my son. He just came out of a severe episode this month..He too tries to self medicate...I saw Jaco many years ago at Avery Fisher Hall in NYC, opening for his friend, Pat Metheny..Just him and his bass, and bare feet!..Played for about an hour, which was the single weirdest thing I ever witnessed at any concert..He was obviously pretty ill, and probably in the throes of an episode...I didn't know of Bipolar then..I just thought he was a weird genius artist, at the time..But man, when he was right, and played that bass. nothing like him..Listen to him playing on Joni's songs, "Black Crow", "Coyote", or just about anything by him, or her..She's a genius, and that ain't no fluff!..I got into Jaco, and Weather Report way back in the 70's...BTW, Coyote is a song she wrote about the late director/actor/writer Sam Shepard, with whom she had a brief fling, while she was on tour with Bob Dylan (friend of Shepard's at the time) I believe he was married..Great song! Joni has a way of telling a story...Marriott was something special, as well.
@@sjd5750 Words are difficult to find to express my sympathy for you and your son. I also have friend with a bi-polar son and he has many struggles. I have not gotten far enough into my book on Jaco to be able to speak with authority, but I believe I have heard that he was diagnosed bi-polar and was even hospitalized and treated with meds for a period. My understanding is that he hated the meds as he felt they ruined his creative music abilities, so he stopped taking the meds and his condition deteriorated to the point that people turned their backs on him because he was so weird and troublesome thus he ended up on the streets, begging and saying "Don't you know me, I'm Jaco, the greatest bass player in the world!". If this story is true, it's sad beyond words. I do know that his bass got stolen and he was beaten to death, but I don't yet know the circumstances. Here is a link to the documentary I came across on RUclips which introduced me to Jaco and spiked my interest. If you haven't seen it, I recommend it: ruclips.net/video/TviJ3ccaSXM/видео.html "Jaco Pastorius: The Lost Tapes" I have studied Marriott's story in depth - there are 3 biographies about him, plus I've read memoirs by 4 of his bandmates and anything else I could find. Like Jaco, it appears he struggled to get on in school , was awkward and sometimes difficult with other people, struggled with self doubt and insecurities and had many manic and depressive episodes. All 3 of his ex wives believe he was bi-polar, and some think he might have suffered with schizophrenia, although back in the 60's and early 70's, people didn't discuss their emotional problems, so he was never properly diagnosed or treated. Most people just thought he was an asshole when he drank or did too much cocaine. Those who loved him stood by him because he was sweet, sensitive and loving when He wasn't a jerk -lol. He definitely was a deeply troubled man as I'm sure Jaco was. Who knows how many gifted artists who seem to be weird genius are in reality mentally ill. The more I read in rock history I am finding more and more troubled souls. Thank you for your recommendations, I will look them up. I love Joni, (I've always thought Sam Shepard was pretty sexy, too, haha) also - good for you Joni! My thoughts and best wishes to you and your son. I hope you both find peace and happiness. God bless you, and God bless the souls of Steve and Jaco.
@@cindyfalstrom7231 Thanks very much..I always use the analogy that when he's in one of his episodes it's like going 15 rounds with Muhammed Ali everyday, it's so draining..I followed Steve Marriott's story a few years back..Terrible what happened to him..The guy had that "It" factor. (Do they say that about men, or is that something reserved just for women? Lol!) Anyway, he had the whole deal...I believe it was Weather Report who Jaco went to audition for..He walked in and told them they can cancel all other scheduled to try out because they weren't going to hear anybody better than him, or something to the effect..Very cocky, but he could back it up...I will check out that Jaco vid tomorrow. I'm ready to hit the sack..Thanks again!
Well done Mr Wilburn well done. Your next assignment if you choose to do could be a brand-new Jeff Beck and the artist Seal doing Jimi Hendrix manic depression all I can say is it Jeff Beck makes it his own but they stay very true to form. I saw Jeff Beck and Stevie Ray Vaughan at Starlight theater in Kansas City I will never forget it they did share the stage well as well as each of their sex were off the chart guitar musical heaven
Bro I’m tellin ya man give couldn’t stand the weather live in Austin tx a listen! You won’t regret it and it’s in my opinion the best song Stevie wrote!
It’s sad that for some reason MTV was only able to capture part of this song on video. There is an audio only live performance of this on SRV boxed set, although I’m not sure if it’s the exact same performance. It’s phenomenal anyway.
Don Nix of the band Moloch actually wrote the song. It's been covered by many, but Jeff is the one who put it on the map. Unfortunately they only had one cameraperson at the concert, but both Stevie's and Jeff's bands were backing them up. Terry Bozzio (Jeff Beck's drummer) really forced the tempo up. You can also see Jeff egging Stevie on, getting him to play even more awesome. That's Jeff for you. He loves to share the stage and he''ll give you the spotlight. But if you don't deliver, you might see a look of disappointment on his face. Stevie delivered the goods and then some. I would recommend reacting to Jeff Beck Group material like "Shapes of Things" or "I Ain't Superstitious" (Rod Stewart and Ron Wood were members before they became famous). And Jeff Beck Group II with a whole new line-up such as Cozy Powell, look for "Got the Feeling" live at the Beat Club 1972. That's a killer jam.
Chod, I know you like one-hit-wonders and here's something from one that I'm certain you and your followers have never heard. The band is Blues Image featuring Mike Pinera on guitar and vocals, along with Joe Lala on congas and vocals. "Ride, Capt., Ride" was their radio hit which was far more commercial than the rest of their stuff. They were a progressive Latin, jazz-rock & blues band and here are 2 of their incredible songs, the first from their first album "Blues Image" called "Reality Does Not Inspire" - ruclips.net/video/e8ZyPmSAutA/видео.html and here is one from their second album which also contained "Ride, Capt. Ride" - called "Clean Love" - ruclips.net/video/IO6I6iknKvs/видео.html
Jimi Hendrix at the Cafe Au Go Go in N.Y. Little Wing and Everything is Going to be Alright. Jimi Plays the Blues 1968. Harvey Brooks Bass Buddy Miles Drums. Elvin Bishop guitar. Herbie Rich organ. And Paul Butterfield.
This was an awesome collaboration. If you love videos like this check out this one. Steve Lukather (Toto), Jeff Beck and Carlos Santana at a live concert in Japan. This is a older video too. This link includes more than one song so you will have to stop it after the first song. The song is called "Super Boogie". It is a total guitar jam! ruclips.net/video/b4puZevs3D4/видео.html
Why don't you try the live version of, I think, "Little Sister", with Stevie Ray and Jeff Healey together. Stevie can't believe what he's seeing!! This was fun!! I never saw this before and I'm 62! I grew up on MTV; the best band's; the best car's and the best sex!! Rock and roll...
Should react to early post yardbirds beck- Truth. I remember reading the young singer’s stage fright kept his hack to the audience at the earliest shows. Truth and Led Zeppelin 1 came out at the same time. Personally I like old man river. The Jeff Beck Group Orange album (second iteration of the group) contained this song. Beck showed his future direction with Definitely Maybe.
TRUTH - that young singer with the stage fright was ROD STEWART! Rod was wonderful when he was a young blues singer. He was good right up through the Faces, then not so great later IMO. Oh well. Truth is a great album, too bad Jeff Becks band didn't last longer.
A) The song is NOT titled "I'm Down". No (That's a Beatles song - among others...) 🤦♂️🤦♂️🙄 The song is "Going Down" ...Made famous by Freddie King (one of the "3 Kings" of blues guitar: B.B., Freddie and Albert [I, usually, throw Albert Collins "The Iceman" in there, too; although he is NOT a "King" by name, he is due to his playing and importance ....but I digress (as is usual....)] ...none of whom are related, b.t.w.). Both Jeff Beck and Stevie Ray Vaughan are/were fans of Mr. Freddie King. "Going Down" was written by one of the godfathers of Memphis Soul: Don Nix (an original member of The Mar-Keys [LOOK THEM UP if you don't recognize the name - for GODS' sakes!!!! **smh** -Otis Redding! The development of: Booker T. & The M.G.s, later !!! Come ON, man!!!!!] among other things.) Nix was a guitarist, himself & did a lot of song-writing and production work, later, with tons of people (Like Leon Russell, for example), but, arguably: "Going Down" is his "magnum opus" (as it became for Freddie King -I believe Don Nix produced a band, earlier, who recorded the first version of the song, but...🤷♂️🤷♂️), Freddie King released "Going Down" in 1970, on his album: Gettin' Ready Freddie is known as, and has been quoted as, a GREAT (HUGE) influence on "Invasion-era" British blues guitarists [for instance: Jeff Beck, Peter Green, Mick Taylor, Lonnie Mack, Eric Crapton, etc. etc.] as well as a younger generation of electric blues guitarists [which includes people S.R.V.]. 🤘🔥🤘
Love these guys!😀🎶🎵🎸

Ahh... God has smiled upon us!
I've seen both in concert but not together.
Beautiful way to end my housework!
Saw it in person.. I swear I can still hear the guitar tone from then.. amazing night
I saw them on this tour at the USF Sun Dome in Tampa, Florida. They traded who would open the show. One night Jeff would open and Stevie would open the next. They would do "I'm Going Down" as the encore. Two of my favorite guitar players on stage together.
Way to make my day❤️❤️❤️ SRV is of course my ALL TIME FAVORITE!!!
SRV & Jeff Healey - Look at Little Sister is a must listen collaboration
Absolutely
I was fortunate to see Jeff and Stevie when they were on this tour. Jeff Opened up and was great. Stevie then came on and light the place on fire. This song was the encore and bot the killed it. Two Giants of the fretboard
The best musicians can play together. They have an ear for what fits the tune, and not just grandstanding. Jeff and Stevie are two of the best.
Some might view this as a guitar duel between two competing guitar wizards. I don't. I see it as an exciting collaboration between two stellar musicians who respect and admire each other. Plus, along with the lucky members of the audience, Stevie and Jeff were having one hell of a good time ....
Totally agree!
@J Men Wow! You are truly blessed to have seen these 2 Guitar Gods playing together! I envy you .....
Wow!

Thank you for that.
I needed a lift today…. That tore off my roof!!
Geez….. AWESOME!!!!
Hey brother I got to see this tour when they came through landover md at the capital center and it was mesmerizing and spiritual all at once. I was blessed because it was only a few months later when Stevie died but will never forget that night with these two giants
I was fortunate enough to catch a show on this tour in Worcester, MA Amazing show! So sad that SRV passed soon after.
Hell yes. Thank you. I remember they toured not long before Stevie died. I think this is a JJ Cale song
WOW,WOW,WOW !!!!
I saw this show in Chicago had 2nd row center and it was amazing and on top of that Terry Bozzio was playing drums for Beck. Hard to beat!
Lucky.
i remember this tour! i have regretted missing this concert every since. 😀
A great Freddie King song!!
If you want to do a 3rd version of this number, check out Joe Bonamassa doing this. It stands up on its own and not to compare them, but Joe’s version is also a terrific performance. Please try to get into Joe Bonamassa too. He looked up to SRV as a teenager.
P. S……. Do the version at the Greek Theater. The first thing you will notice is the great surprise of the keyboardist!!! Take a guess who it is…… I’ll wait.
Dude...you do a really good job. Saw Stevie in 1985 with Albert King opening. Stevie always understood respect for his "elders" as he would say. Blues works just that way. Jeff Beck fell into that "elders" category.
when people talk about masters of their craft.....this is what they're talking about!
even the people who don't smoke need one after this.
Saw these two at MSG. On that tour they took turns headlining. Night I saw them Jeff Beck's Guitar Shop was up first. That was some night.
You should check out Stanley Clarke featuring Jeff Beck. Rock n Roll Jelly is the song.
I saw both of them at the same time. SRV opened for Beck. Stevie was super awesome, amazing and you can see. And Beck was simply bitchin! I forgot about Stevie when Beck started playing. Oh man what a show.
on that tour they took turns opening and closing.
Check Jeff Healey “Can You See the Light”. Jeff, RIP was a phenomenal guitar player and singer. He was also blind and had a unique style of playing. So much heart and soul in him.
By far the best guitarist in the minds of many, Allan Holdsworth! Although fusion is not always everyone's favorite type of music, Holdsworth's skill was otherworldly!
I saw this tour in 89 at MSG. they did this as an encore.
Two of the best!
Not many people can stand on stage with SRV and hold their own. ...I will say this Jeff Beck has probably played with all the greats, like Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Clapton, BB King , Santana, the list goes on.
JB is amazing. He's a guitar player's guitar player.

SRV is hands down the musician I would choose to bring back from Rock and Roll heaven
The original was written by Leon Russell for that great blues guitarist Freddy King..
On a scale of 1 to 10, the talent in this video is estimated to be about 4,624.

Saw this tour at MSG. he was dead 8 months later. RIP.
with these two, it might be like matter and antimatter! but nicely so.
Should react to early post yardbirds beck- Truth. I remember reading the young singer’s stage fright kept his hack to the audience at the earliest shows. Truth and Led Zeppelin 1 came out at the same time. Personally I like old man river. The Jeff Beck Group Orange album (second iteration of the group) contained this song. Beck showed his future direction with Definitely Maybe.
TRUTH - that young singer with the stage fright was ROD STEWART! Rod was wonderful when he was a young blues singer. He was good right up through the Faces, then not so great later IMO. Oh well. Truth is a great album, too bad Jeff Becks band didn't last longer.
Johnny Winter!! Does that song better by himself....But that was really cool.
Alvin Lee the man try the bluest of the blue
You gotta hear FREDDIE KING do this. Just amazing. PALACE OF THE KING is also a good one.
Don Nix is the original creator but this is damn good.
And here’s the version with Jeff Beck and Paul Rogers, the lead singer from Free and Bad Company ruclips.net/video/PXtS1YJ7ClE/видео.html
When are you ever goingg to react to Riviera Paradise by SRV live?. I like this tune better than all of his others
They are not the originators of this. Goin Down is a Freddy King original
Some have Ego's
A) The song is NOT titled "I'm Down". No (That's a Beatles song - among others...) 🤦♂️🤦♂️🙄
The song is "Going Down" ...Made famous by Freddie King (one of the "3 Kings" of blues guitar: B.B., Freddie and Albert [I, usually, throw Albert Collins "The Iceman" in there, too; although he is NOT a "King" by name, he is due to his playing and importance ....but I digress (as is usual....)] ...none of whom are related, b.t.w.).
Both Jeff Beck and Stevie Ray Vaughan are/were fans of Mr. Freddie King.
"Going Down" was written by one of the godfathers of Memphis Soul: Don Nix
(an original member of The Mar-Keys [LOOK THEM UP if you don't recognize the name - for GODS' sakes!!!! **smh** -Otis Redding! The development of: Booker T. & The M.G.s, later !!! Come ON, man!!!!!] among other things.)
Nix was a guitarist, himself & did a lot of song-writing and production work, later, with tons of people (Like Leon Russell, for example), but, arguably: "Going Down" is his "magnum opus" (as it became for Freddie King -I believe Don Nix produced a band, earlier, who recorded the first version of the song, but...🤷♂️🤷♂️),
Freddie King released "Going Down" in 1970, on his album: Gettin' Ready
Freddie is known as, and has been quoted as, a GREAT (HUGE) influence on "Invasion-era" British blues guitarists [for instance: Jeff Beck, Peter Green, Mick Taylor, Lonnie Mack, Eric Crapton, etc. etc.] as well as a younger generation of electric blues guitarists [which includes people S.R.V.]. 🤘🔥🤘
So Jefff is up there going ahhh yes talent,"well played old boy", im sure Jeff is very selective who he plays with.
DON NIX HIT THAT JEFF RE RECORDED LIVE ... THINK YOU SHOWED IT LAST DAY OR 2
stevie is the best..
Stevie killed Jeff in every way
Freddie King did the original version
..it is also the best version...better singing, better guitar.
