back then I was dating a girl who had the biggest crush on SRV. I worked for the sound company doing sound there that day so I walked her back stage and she got to meet SRV on his way to the stage.... He couldn't have been nicer. He spent a couple of minutes talking to her while I stood off to one side listening. He was a complete gentleman and I wish I'd said hello to him but it was her moment... Thanks for posting this video. it brings it all back to me
That really is awesome and he's tearing it up I believe he was straight at this fest and he was straight when he died. What a great guy! I love all his interviews and him and Albert King playing together. That's some awesome times! Thanks a lot man what an incredible master! On the guitar we play 6 hours a day just to try to squeak a note out rest in peace I believe he was straight then. Let me know but it doesn't matter straight or not. He still One of the best top two guitarist of all time if you know where I'm coming from
That's good that he was a gentlemen. Hopefully blues players are a lot more classy than rock bands... some bands there's no way you'd want your girlfriend to meet them!!!
I cried that morning. SRV just played By Detroit, I had a opportunity to meet SRV. Went backstage at Pine Knob,no one was back there cause Joe Cocker was on stage. Just then about 10 feet away a door opened and walked out Stevie, all alone ,we talked for about 15-20 minutes, hes one of the nicest guys who are in the business, no ego tripping. Several weeks later, we lost him. Yeah, he was at his best, especially being clean & sober,RIP SRV thanks for a memory of a lifetime.
I was at this show. I almost didn't go. My friend and I were Mormon converts and the concert was on "the Sabbath". My friend was, like me , a guitarist. He said to me, "We're going to see at great musician perform. There's nothing more restful than that." That was enough arm twisting for me and we went. I'm glad we did. A few months later and we would never be able to again.
Not quite..Stevie Ray Vaughan would be 66 this year and that's great with me..Time does not sit still and Stevie Ray Vaughans music did not sit idle either..Stevie was a blue'sman and rock n roll and that guitar went everywhere Stevie's boots went..that electric guitar also a legend played all over the world and back again..You wanna talk about miles..Stevie and his guitar had so many miles on them they were engraved ..Phenomenal ! RIP Stevie..never to be Forgotten..literally Were all still looking and hearing you..r u with me..
Jimmie Vaughan is on stage and is the best guitar player that makes it comes alive when entertaining..A legend and can sing the best..Stevie Ray Vaughan doesn't ever run out of guitar playing energy..A legend and singer and always gives phenomenal entertainment to his fans..Music going out over the Airwaves and fans can hear this music miles away..Won't never be another Stevie Ray Vaughan..A professional musician doing what he does best and no one can top that..
Me too! There is a large pic of this show on display in the grandstand at Jazz Fest. The pic is taken from behind SRV. I have a pic of the pic but I can’t post it here. Sorry.
WOW 😳.. I miss you Stevie. I could not wait to get released from my first break in AIT in TX, as a young black soldier in 84, to buy his cassette, the rest is history.
@@fishouttawtr Whooa, 84-87 I was in Illeshiem, Germany. I spent most of my career at Fort Hood, wouldn't change the time there for million. I was there 90-95 1/7cav, 97- 2005 2-12 Cav, finished at Bragg, Big SRV fan till this day🇺🇸🇺🇸👍
True story. My cousin is telling me all about SRV's rig while they're setting it up and this old guy is kinda eavesdropping on us a little, I could tell. Finally, he asks "hey I guess you two are too young to have seen Hendrix right?" We were like "yeah, we were born in '68". He looks at us real intently for a second, turns his head back towards the stage for a second or two---takes a drag from his smoke and then shaking his long, gray hair to the side as he turns back around he says "well you're about to see him again". Truth.
You are a good writer. Truth. At the beginning of the summer of 1989 I was offered really good seats too see SRV at Great Woods in Ma. I passed only because I was going to see the Dead at Alpine Valley on that day. My thinking at the time was that SRV would be back soon, his popularity was exploding at the time. Oh well. Ironically Alpine is where SRV played his last gig. SRV's chopper crashed in the fog into what is the highest mountain in Wisconsin. That mountain is man made.
***** Yeah, it was weird for me. I still listen to the Dead almost every day. SRV about once a week. I just wish there was more of his work available. Same with Little Feat and the Allmans with Duane. Come to think of it, I still love all the same music I loved in my teens/early twenties. Listening to The Black Crowes playing Zeppelin with Page now. A friend gave me the cd a couple of weeks ago. Awesome stuff if you have not heard it.
Very niiiiiiiice. I didn't know Stevie until the Vaughan Bros. album and since been a major fan. The reason being is that there were too many others I was majorly involved with. It's unfortunate that I wasn't a part of this because out of all of the concerts I've seen in my life, I would have loved to do this!! I miss him and didn't even know him!! Thanks for posting this. :)
While spending the night in Memphis I can't help but remember all the hundreds of bands and musicians I've seen Steve was the best! It's like I can hear him playing down at Mud Island tonight! The most memorable concerts I ever seen.
I still can’t believe I was there and witnessed it 31 years ago when I was 30. This feels like it was yesterday. Thanks for uploading. Sadly 3 months later he was gone.
Played for a living most of my 50 years on this earth and I still have yet to hear SRV's equal! RIP my Brother! One day gonna Jam together in that great Gig in the Sky!
Stevie Ray Vaughn is THE BEST EVER..He is very well loved and very well missed and there will NEVER EVER be another Stevie Ray Vaughn..He is up is Heaven right now..We love and miss ya so much SRV !
I have seen so many comments about this incredible guitarist and his playing the guitar, but, I haven't heard anyone mention Stevie's voice! Damn it's just amazing! That third song just took me away! It just took my breathe! And the sexiness ....I better hush up.
This guy left us to Early. He was one of a kind and he was sober when he died. He had so much more to give at the time of the Helicopter crash. very tragic . His music will live on forever.
Sober...Stevie was a breath of fresh air....and quick.....His brother Jimmie and him playing together at first was one, two, BAM ! Damn Stevie was great younger and even greater in this....Tks...good beautiful blues...
I saw him at my 1st jazz fest in 1986 but I'm sure you realize you captured in video -his last performance at Jazz Fest 'cos he would be gone 4 short months later---BRAVO TO YOU DUDE FOR GIVING US THIS TREASURED MOMENT--AN ABUNDANCE OF THANKS FROM ME & MANY OTHERS
I was here. I keep slowing it down to see if I am in any of the crowd shots. It was a great show, back when Jazz Fest was more of a local deal and not the mega-event it is now. I went home for the summer shortly after this (I was at Tulane) came back in August and the next month we lost SRV. He was my favorite guitar player at the time and I had hoped this would be the first time I got to see him of many. Unfortunatey, it was the last.
I saw his concert at Riverbend stadium a couple of months after this concert. Never forget it for my life. He was more laid back for it, stuck his cigarette on the end of his guitar. The feeling. I wish he'd survived.
@@karlklondike6400 He was warming up when we were on our way to the horse races next door. We were like "who is that???" We spent the money we had besides gas to hear him. I was 17.
I've never saw any guitar slinger play with so much passion, so much angry and peace, strong and finess at the same time! The only and the best of all Stevie! Legends never die!
Pedro- my mom pointed it out so well: she said “ he had a smile to his playing”. She always told me “ why do you always listen to that “ ugly noise “ meaning Jimi Hendrix. 25-30 years later I know what she was talking about. Not too many musicians have a smile to their playing. I think that is what draws me in to Stevie Ray’s music Ramsay Lewis is another musician who has a smile in his playing. IMHO
I'm not gonna lie, I'm 40 years old now and I was only 13 when Stevie died and never got to see him live in person but to explain the impact he's had on my life, I often tear up when I watch him play and its mostly tears of joy and relief that I was exposed to him at an early age and even though he's not with us in body anymore his spirit definitely lives on and I feel it every time I hear or see him play. I just thank God we have the awesome footage we have so we can enjoy this blues badass until the day we die as well. My house is always a rockin with SRV. ROCK ON BROTHER STEVIE
RUclips videos don't do it justice. Imagine him plugged simultaneously into about fifteen amps, blasting that familiar tone at you in quadrophonic sound, with about fourteen times as good tone as you hear on a recording, with every fiber of wood on that Strat flying at you like splinters.... and that doesn't even begin to cover it. I was changed by watching him play.
I got to meet him after running on stage during his encore of Voodoo chile in 87 in corpus Christi tx , after being escorted out the back stage area........we waited till he came out ........he signed our tickets, he was your the ones that ran on stage & bowed ( pre we our not worthy)
My God, I can't believe it's been 30 years already but looking at the bright side I will see you again if St. Peter let's me in. It would suck if St. Peter was selling tickets and you didn't have your wallet. So sad this man is gone. I love you Stevie Ray.
setlist : 1) in the Open ( Freddy King cover ) 2) Collin's shuffle ( Albert Collins cover ) 3) The things (that) i used to do ( guitar Slim cover ) 4) Wall of Denial / Mary had a Little Lamb 5) Superstition ( Stevie Wonder cover ) 6) Cold Shot ( short version) 7) The House is Rocking 8) Crossfire 9) Voodoo Chile ( Slight Return ) ( J Hendrix Experience cover ) END.
Only three original songs out of ten. He must’ve been in a real mood for covers that day. Probably because his brother was there and wanted to play songs they both knew.
@@josearqco not necessarily. I’m sure Jimmie was familiar with all of Stevie’s songs but that doesn’t mean that he learned them all. He had his own career and was busy making his own music. I’m sure likewise, Stevie didn’t sit down and learn every single Fabulous Thunderbirds song either.
Mr. SRV The Axe picking, string bending genius. He was blessed with excellent rhythm, his own style, tone, sound and great ears. Created his own sound with different stringing, and let's not forget his Big Brother's Influence and greatness too. They Loved the Blues, and Stevie was a Big Fan of Albert King, along with Jimi Hendrix, B.B. King Freddie King 👑 whose licks you can hear in his playing.. That Bass player, is a monster, drummer and the whole band in sync together.. He used to Fort Worth, Tx when he lived in Dallas, as a teen and sit in on Fourth Street, The Chicken in the Basket & TJ's. Back then kids were allowed to come in clubs with their parents, as the club sold great food as well!! Thank you for this exceptional upload.. Rest in Heaven *Great One*, as I imagine you with a feather on your halo!!👼❤️👼
A couple months later I bought tickets to see Clapton in Biloxi. The show was there because they wanted the world tour to end in Miss. birthplace of the blues. It was a Sunday. The Sunday prior is when Stevie,Claptons manager and another from Claptons entourage died in the copter crash. I was center on the floor about 20’ in front of Clapton. No one played ahead of them and it was like being at a metal show they played so hard. At the end they all bowed and cried. Truest blessed to be there. I know someone else was. Please respond!
I was there! I was a student at Tulane at the time. He died less than 3 months later. I've seen a lot of great shows, and this one has always stood out in my mind as an unbelievable one. Listen to that dude! It's unreal to see it again... RUclips just resurrects everything.
I was there. A lot, lot farther back. But that was a spiritual day. I heard a lot of good music that weekend. But when SRV played voodoo child I think I transcended. The greatest live musical experience of my life.
Dang, just found this. I was there with a bunch friends from Baton Rouge...AMAZING SHOW...brings back lots of great memories! One of the greatest ever! RIP SRV.
This. Stevie, Tommy, Chris , Reese.. I’m poor. It would be hard to choose between Stevie and food. I’m old, so I'd see Stevie. He brought my girls and I and still brings me so much joy - people like Stevie just don’t come around every day. For me, it’s important to recognize when they do. I was allegedly a talented artist. With paint, not sound. Allegedly still am. But it’s a small skill - and then there is brilliance. I have decent small skilled that’s all. I’m a weak candle of that. Stevie was a bonfire. I love him.
i was at that show from art school in virginia, standing right against the front left stage little barrier, with my best friend since we were 8 years old are off to the side boogieing doooown! i was taking a shower with radio blasting when i heard he’d died and i fell on my knees, i so loved him, and hands down best part of jazz and heritage festival. she died too when we were 54 and i’ve never been the same, this video is a treasure
I think its awesome how Stevie didnt mind sharing the spot light. Almost like he wants to jam more than he wants to be famous. And you got to give credit to a guitar player who has the guts to do a sol in front of SRV
I was there! Probably a few feet away from the camera man. I was 12 and with my older brother, on his shoulders and I will never forget it! This is what made love music in a different way! I could see the sweat coming off of his eyebrows and have never forgotten it! RIP SRV
I was back stage and spent some time talking to SRV that night. He talked about being clean and feeling really good about it. I believe the other bands were John Hyatt and Robert Cray. It was a good night.
This concert just gets increasingly greater and greater..Stevie Ray Vaughan and the band just crashes straight threw these songs and not missing a beat...Way to go..Love every minute of this concert..SENSATIONAL..even this doesnt describe it....
Hello God is a loving father God does not take people. Think about what your saying your Father killed you . And God is a Loving Father so he would never kill you. The devil is the one who causes all the misery and death so put the blame where it belongs and start saying Devil Damn you !!
they could have played this on big screens instead of Stones, Fleetwod Mac and Widespread Panic combined and it still smokes!!!!! I was there and it was EPIC!!!
Is that not the truth? Stevie hypnotizes folks who watch his videos. Can’t believe this wasn’t done this year when all the acts got sick-nola adored Stevie😎
I saw that show that day with my wife,her first time at Jazfest and New Orleans went back 15 straight times,our children grew up at Jazzfest and New Orleans.Still own our timeshares at the Quarterhouse.We smoked some mighty fine JuJu that day with our softshell Po'boy's.Thanks for the memories SRV.
Dennis King I`m with you Dennis. There are many great players of many different styles its impossible to say who is the greatest. Its like saying what peach was the sweetest of all time who could taste every peach and if you did not taste every one how could you say which was the sweetest ??
majorgeeek p { margin-bottom: 0.25cm; line-height: 120Why should especially EC eat his heart? Did anyone knows about ECs speech that he plays better than SRV or that he is the greatest guitar player? Are there really only two cats on the floor? Questions over Questions, even about guitar players.
majorgeeek i dont know about srv and clapton, but i do know that Clapton was extremely intemidated by Hendrix, the day seargent peppers lonlely heart club band came out, jimi put his own twist on it right off the rip. Clapton thought he was just gonna be playing with a unexpierienced guitarist and quickly realized that, jimi, is the expierience
To the Fan in the Crowd.. doing all the steady close up Camera work WITH a LOT of people CLOSE Around you and the Lens... GREAT F.ing JOB... Very Impressive!!
Stevie Ray Vaughan puts on a GREAT Performance and his guitar knows ahead of time what's coming out of it..Stevie's guitar is a legend too..And Jimmy Vaughan...love watching Stevie in Concert and Jimmy..the band is fantastic.
Guitarists! check 26:40 when he moves to an open position, after few seconds his trills are going so fast it's blinding. heh heh Excellent video by the way,. best bass playing and recording I've heard yet. Tommy just gives so much just like Stevie.
I was at this show. He also played the Riverboat President the night before with Albert Collins and BB King. Late show - boat left at midnight! David Byrne in front of us, Paul Simon behind us. Met SRV several times - he was so nice. Still miss him.
Stevie Ray Vaughan and his band and Jim.ie Vaughan has done an outstanding performance at this concert and they are phenomonal on entertaining this amount of fans..most enjoyable and everything going great..Stevie is just the fan's entertainer and Stevie loves playing his strats and performing all night..A true genius at playing on that guitar..RIP Stevie..watching in 2020..I never get bored listening to your music and songs..
I saw him in this tour in indy @ deer Creek low dough carload show 5 bucks for a car full of teenagers when he busted out a groove on his red strat the hairs on my arm stood straight up! and I ran to the stage area .and nobody plays blues like SRV God loves you deeply
That solo on Mary Had A Little Lamb was INCREDIBLE!!! That TONE, PHRASING, EMOTION!! And that was some of the best playing I've heard from Jimmie Vaughan........
GREAT VIDEO BY THEE BEST BLUES GUITARIST EVER AND ALWAYS WILL BE, GONE TO SOON, LOVED THE WAY YOU SANG, LOVED THE WAY YOU PLAYED YOUR GUITARS, FOREVER STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN FOREVER.💔😥💜💛🧡❤💚💙
00:38 In The Open 05:58 Collins Shuffle 10:37 The Things That I Used To Do 14:45 Wall Of Denial 17:15 Mary Had A Little Lamb 23:16Superstition 27:28 Cold Shot 28:55 The House Is Rockin' 32:22 Crossfire 36:25 Voodoo Chile
I kick myself in the butt for never seen SRV live. I had 2 chances to see him play here and I either had something to do or blew it off for another day he would tour again. If I only knew God was taking him from us so soon I would have gone to see him. Thank you for downloading this video of him. Out of a lot of videos I've seen of him, this one makes me feel like I am really there in person and the sound is great for being over 30 years old. God Bless you SRV wherever you are.
I saw Stevie at the Aragon Ball room in Chicago aroung 85. Stood at the front of the stage and he was sweating on me. Was a game changer for me TOTALLY HOOKED miss him.........
@@jonathonfuqua6730 that’s a tough argument jimi was a innovator, his playing in my opinion is still great blues and rock but is sloppy compared to SRV technique, that’s also why I say jimi is an innovator because stevie had all the time to learn his influences and pick up off of what jimi did and make it better jimi didn’t have that opportunity so you could argue it’s from the experience in my opinion, either way two amazing fucking players bless there souls
@@JaniceArrington no video, no phone cams, lol, at coliseum, think was 6/6/90, on tour with Joe Cocker, billed as the power & the passion tour! appropriately named as well!
What a gift for his fans on planet earth to have access to. Thank you so much to whoever taped this and to posted this music. SRV was amazing! He knew...... He just knew. Why?
Why? I know this sounds silly & I'm not trying to make light of your question but Stevie could have been a misplaced Earthling who may not have known he was from another planet until close to his tragic death. He did have a fascination with UFOs...
Guitar playing isn't a competition. There is room for all and we can all have preferences - as in life. I just try to enjoy it all. Have fun! from all who love music in the UK and appreciate huge talent. This guy was truly amazing!
Folks if you have never been to Jazz Fest in NOLA put it on your bucket list...I lived right across the street on Fortin St. 1971-1973..My friend Mike and I would hop the fence and walk around and check out the sights. There may be maybe 2 thousand people. Now it is 2 weekends and several hundred thousand people attend. It is the best time you will ever have with your shoes on....mini Woodstock for 8 days with food and drink and bathrooms...

There's never been a better guitar player nor will there ever be a better guitar player than Stevie Ray Vaughan!
Try jonny lang
There is no best, but Stevie was a fucking monster!
Jimi Hendrix says hi.
Django Rerinhardt smiles quietly and takes another sip of absinthe.

Not quite..Stevie Ray Vaughan would be 66 this year and that's great with me..Time does not sit still and Stevie Ray Vaughans music did not sit idle either..Stevie was a blue'sman and rock n roll and that guitar went everywhere Stevie's boots went..that electric guitar also a legend played all over the world and back again..You wanna talk about miles..Stevie and his guitar had so many miles on them they were engraved ..Phenomenal !

BEST GUITARIST EVER!!!
Life is so fleeting. Make amends and love one another. This broke my heart. We miss you Stevie.

Best ever.
I love Stevie Ray Vaughan's music, and still do.
If u HAD to pick one......SRV....or....Alvin Lee???
@@rickheras5871 My pick is Stevie Ray Vaughan.
I was there! I was standing in the same general area as the camera view. It was AMAZING!!! It is something that I will never forget!
the same for me in Pistoia Blues festival , it was raining ...perhaps the sensation similary that had who red Jimi Hendrix on live
You lucky person!!! I'm waiting for "Huge" jam sessions on the oyher side,when I see him,BB King,Fats,Janice, and all the rest of gang!!!
Me too! There is a large pic of this show on display in the grandstand at Jazz Fest. The pic is taken from behind SRV. I have a pic of the pic but I can’t post it here. Sorry.
I was there to. having seen him at Audubon Zoo in 87 I absolutley made this one. Glad I did....he was gone 3 months later.
AWESOME!!!!!
The sky is still cryin'
I miss him too but I just dig out my ultimate srv cd and listen to both discs
It always will
Where do you think all this rain is coming from😄
WOW 😳.. I miss you Stevie. I could not wait to get released from my first break in AIT in TX, as a young black soldier in 84, to buy his cassette, the rest is history.

@@karlklondike6400 He was warming up when we were on our way to the horse races next door. We were like "who is that???" We spent the money we had besides gas to hear him. I was 17.
siempre tocando con el alma..se lo extraña mucho teacher!!!!!!!
Time machine. I expected this guy would be around all my life.
I've never saw any guitar slinger play with so much passion, so much angry and peace, strong and finess at the same time! The only and the best of all Stevie! Legends never die!
Pedro- my mom pointed it out so well: she said “ he had a smile to his playing”.
She always told me “ why do you always listen to that “ ugly noise “ meaning Jimi Hendrix.
25-30 years later I know what she was talking about.
Not too many musicians have a smile to their playing. I think that is what draws me in to Stevie Ray’s music
Ramsay Lewis is another musician who has a smile in his playing. IMHO
Jimmy Vaughan is on fire here as well
Yep I was thinking that too
A small candle standing next to the sun
@@luthergarcia8469just because Jimmie Vaughan doesn't play like Stevie doesn't mean he's like candle. Stevie thought he was the sun
I'm not gonna lie, I'm 40 years old now and I was only 13 when Stevie died and never got to see him live in person but to explain the impact he's had on my life, I often tear up when I watch him play and its mostly tears of joy and relief that I was exposed to him at an early age and even though he's not with us in body anymore his spirit definitely lives on and I feel it every time I hear or see him play. I just thank God we have the awesome footage we have so we can enjoy this blues badass until the day we die as well. My house is always a rockin with SRV. ROCK ON BROTHER STEVIE
I feel the same way...
RUclips videos don't do it justice. Imagine him plugged simultaneously into about fifteen amps, blasting that familiar tone at you in quadrophonic sound, with about fourteen times as good tone as you hear on a recording, with every fiber of wood on that Strat flying at you like splinters.... and that doesn't even begin to cover it. I was changed by watching him play.
41 here and exact same story.
Well said mate 👍👍👍👍👍
I got to meet him after running on stage during his encore of Voodoo chile in 87 in corpus Christi tx , after being escorted out the back stage area........we waited till he came out ........he signed our tickets, he was your the ones that ran on stage & bowed ( pre we our not worthy)
My God, I can't believe it's been 30 years already but looking at the bright side I will see you again if St. Peter let's me in. It would suck if St. Peter was selling tickets and you didn't have your wallet. So sad this man is gone. I love you Stevie Ray.
Awsome video !! what an amazing blues guitarist he was !, his music will live forever !! RIP Stevie

Only three original songs out of ten. He must’ve been in a real mood for covers that day. Probably because his brother was there and wanted to play songs they both knew.
@@KevyNova I pretty much guess that his brother Jimmy knows precisely any of his songs.
@@josearqco not necessarily. I’m sure Jimmie was familiar with all of Stevie’s songs but that doesn’t mean that he learned them all. He had his own career and was busy making his own music. I’m sure likewise, Stevie didn’t sit down and learn every single Fabulous Thunderbirds song either.
@@KevyNova oh and he knew what to play to a #nolajazzfest audience awesome to have the setlist this is so awesome thanks 🤩
Thanks man. Also Mary is a Buddy Guy tune.
Mr. SRV The Axe picking, string bending genius. He was blessed with excellent rhythm, his own style, tone, sound and great ears. Created his own sound with different stringing, and let's not forget his Big Brother's Influence and greatness too.
They Loved the Blues, and Stevie was a Big Fan of Albert King, along with Jimi Hendrix, B.B. King Freddie King 👑 whose licks you can hear in his playing..
That Bass player, is a monster, drummer and the whole band in sync together.. He used to Fort Worth, Tx when he lived in Dallas, as a teen and sit in on Fourth Street, The Chicken in the Basket & TJ's. Back then kids were allowed to come in clubs with their parents, as the club sold great food as well!!
Thank you for this exceptional upload..
Rest in Heaven *Great One*, as I imagine you with a feather on your halo!!👼❤️👼
Thats as good as it gets folks! SR freaking Vaughn!
Voooo... dooo..child..will never go away..just like Stevie Ray Vaughan..that stage is revvvvvvved..r u with me?
And his brother Jimmy Vaughan on guitar .............sweet !!!
A couple months later I bought tickets to see Clapton in Biloxi. The show was there because they wanted the world tour to end in Miss. birthplace of the blues. It was a Sunday. The Sunday prior is when Stevie,Claptons manager and another from Claptons entourage died in the copter crash. I was center on the floor about 20’ in front of Clapton. No one played ahead of them and it was like being at a metal show they played so hard. At the end they all bowed and cried. Truest blessed to be there. I know someone else was. Please respond!
I was there! I was a student at Tulane at the time. He died less than 3 months later. I've seen a lot of great shows, and this one has always stood out in my mind as an unbelievable one. Listen to that dude! It's unreal to see it again... RUclips just resurrects everything.
I was there. A lot, lot farther back. But that was a spiritual day. I heard a lot of good music that weekend. But when SRV played voodoo child I think I transcended. The greatest live musical experience of my life.
Stevie is the BEST blues guitarist ever to be known! I loved him the first time I heard him!
Me too
I have watched SRV stuff for 40 years, yet never seen this before today. Really great live performance of a clean and sober SRV. What a show!!
could heal the sick and resurrect jazz from the dead the intelligence to play like that? Genius level....
Dang, just found this. I was there with a bunch friends from Baton Rouge...AMAZING SHOW...brings back lots of great memories! One of the greatest ever! RIP SRV.
Btw, this was NOT the whole show, it actually lasted about 2 hours!
I swear l would give it all l've got just to see Stevie & Double Trouble play for just one night !
make that all night and I am all in
porkbelly0713 they should make a hologram of one of their shows ooooo that would be awesome.
This. Stevie, Tommy, Chris , Reese.. I’m poor. It would be hard to choose between Stevie and food. I’m old, so I'd see Stevie. He brought my girls and I and still brings me so much joy - people like Stevie just don’t come around every day. For me, it’s important to recognize when they do.
I was allegedly a talented artist. With paint, not sound. Allegedly still am. But it’s a small skill - and then there is brilliance. I have decent small skilled that’s all. I’m a weak candle of that. Stevie was a bonfire. I love him.
I would do anything too just to see Stevie and double trouble live for one's in my live 💜
then you've got to binge watch Living Waters videos so that you'll make that massive SRV concert in Heaven.
I'm amazed at the sound quality of this, considering it's a 30 year old audience recording. Thanks for uploading it!
True dat!
it’s a soundboard bootleg recording over the video, but the soundboard bootleg sounds so amazing
@@ClamGaming-th2wtgood synching
I wish the video quality was better, but the audio is awesome. Stevie is the GOAT and it is great to see Jimmy playing alongside him.
omg, thank you for this. No one NO one will ever make a guitar sound that way.
i was at that show from art school in virginia, standing right against the front left stage little barrier, with my best friend since we were 8 years old are off to the side boogieing doooown! i was taking a shower with radio blasting when i heard he’d died and i fell on my knees, i so loved him, and hands down best part of jazz and heritage festival. she died too when we were 54 and i’ve never been the same, this video is a treasure
I think its awesome how Stevie didnt mind sharing the spot light. Almost like he wants to jam more than he wants to be famous. And you got to give credit to a guitar player who has the guts to do a sol in front of SRV
That other guitar player is his older brother Jimmie!
SRV playing with THE MAN! Jimmie Vaughan. Even Stevie would tell you that.
Great to see both Vaughan brothers playing together 💞
I was there! Probably a few feet away from the camera man. I was 12 and with my older brother, on his shoulders and I will never forget it! This is what made love music in a different way!
I could see the sweat coming off of his eyebrows and have never forgotten it!
RIP SRV
I got to see him play a few months before he passed. He played with pure emotions. He was all that. The band was rock solid. Great memories
I was back stage and spent some time talking to SRV that night. He talked about being clean and feeling really good about it. I believe the other bands were John Hyatt and Robert Cray. It was a good night.
I'd loved to seen that
I was at this show ! I saw him 2 times at The New Orleans Jazz Fest. Love me some Stevie Ray !!!
God bless you 🙂
I was live and present for this performance!
Stevie will never get old.
This concert just gets increasingly greater and greater..Stevie Ray Vaughan and the band just crashes straight threw these songs and not missing a beat...Way to go..Love every minute of this concert..SENSATIONAL..even this doesnt describe it....
Dear God Almighty. Why did you take this man away from us so soon? I still have so much to learn.
Hello
God is a loving father God does not take people. Think about what your saying your Father killed you . And God is a Loving Father so he would never kill you. The devil is the one who causes all the misery and death so put the blame where it belongs and start saying Devil Damn you !!
I was at this show. Me and 2 friends.. It was fantastic.
they could have played this on big screens instead of Stones, Fleetwod Mac and Widespread Panic combined and it still smokes!!!!!
I was there and it was EPIC!!!
Is that not the truth? Stevie hypnotizes folks who watch his videos. Can’t believe this wasn’t done this year when all the acts got sick-nola adored Stevie😎
Some beautiful family!!!
I saw that show that day with my wife,her first time at Jazfest and New Orleans went back 15 straight times,our children grew up at Jazzfest and New Orleans.Still own our timeshares at the Quarterhouse.We smoked some mighty fine JuJu that day with our softshell Po'boy's.Thanks for the memories SRV.
Fantastic Sounds like married right Good for you 2
Love It Miss Him :)
Eric Clapton eat your heart out - SRV truly the best guitarist ever
'Cept Hendrix baby...
Ken Perry
even if it is played up side down?
Dennis King I`m with you Dennis. There are many great players of many different styles its impossible to say who is the greatest. Its like saying what peach was the sweetest of all time who could taste every peach and if you did not taste every one how could you say which was the sweetest ??
majorgeeek
p { margin-bottom: 0.25cm; line-height: 120Why should especially EC eat his heart?
Did anyone knows about ECs speech that he plays better than SRV or that he is the greatest guitar player?
Are there really only two cats on the floor?
Questions over Questions, even about guitar players.
majorgeeek i dont know about srv and clapton, but i do know that Clapton was extremely intemidated by Hendrix, the day seargent peppers lonlely heart club band came out, jimi put his own twist on it right off the rip. Clapton thought he was just gonna be playing with a unexpierienced guitarist and quickly realized that, jimi, is the expierience
RIP STEVIE,A LEGEND LOST FOREVER,BUT HIS MUSIC WILL LIVE ON
The Jazz Fest just went off the charts!!
To the Fan in the Crowd.. doing all the steady close up Camera work WITH a LOT of people CLOSE Around you and the Lens... GREAT F.ing JOB... Very Impressive!!
Stevie Ray Vaughan puts on a GREAT Performance and his guitar knows ahead of time what's coming out of it..Stevie's guitar is a legend too..And Jimmy Vaughan...love watching Stevie in Concert and Jimmy..the band is fantastic.
OMG Tommy is rocking that bass !!!!
Guitarists! check 26:40 when he moves to an open position, after few seconds his trills are going so fast it's blinding. heh heh
Excellent video by the way,. best bass playing and recording I've heard yet. Tommy just gives so much just like Stevie.
I was at this show. He also played the Riverboat President the night before with Albert Collins and BB King. Late show - boat left at midnight! David Byrne in front of us, Paul Simon behind us. Met SRV several times - he was so nice. Still miss him.
Wow! Thank you, SRV we miss you......
Stevie Ray Vaughan and his band and Jim.ie Vaughan has done an outstanding performance at this concert and they are phenomonal on entertaining this amount of fans..most enjoyable and everything going great..Stevie is just the fan's entertainer and Stevie loves playing his strats and performing all night..A true genius at playing on that guitar..RIP Stevie..watching in 2020..I never get bored listening to your music and songs..
Big SRV fan and this is one I haven't seen. Thanks to the uploader.
I was leery of it then said to myself it's srv can't be too bad
Proof that not only love is colorblind, so is music.
I was at this show! He passed three months later. Amazing!
I saw him in this tour in indy @ deer Creek low dough carload show 5 bucks for a car full of teenagers when he busted out a groove on his red strat the hairs on my arm stood straight up! and I ran to the stage area .and nobody plays blues like SRV God loves you deeply
That solo on Mary Had A Little Lamb was INCREDIBLE!!! That TONE, PHRASING, EMOTION!! And that was some of the best playing I've heard from Jimmie Vaughan........
Ya, its just as good as the origional.
Andrew Larson he had an absolute command of that guitar. truly one of a kind.

I kick myself in the butt for never seen SRV live. I had 2 chances to see him play here and I either had something to do or blew it off for another day he would tour again. If I only knew God was taking him from us so soon I would have gone to see him. Thank you for downloading this video of him. Out of a lot of videos I've seen of him, this one makes me feel like I am really there in person and the sound is great for being over 30 years old. God Bless you SRV wherever you are.
They did this exactly 25 years ago today....hard to believe that much time has passed. Damn I miss him :(
I saw Stevie at the Aragon Ball room in Chicago aroung 85. Stood at the front of the stage and he was sweating on me. Was a game changer for me TOTALLY HOOKED miss him.........
SRV is best. Everyone else take a seat in the back!
And on the 8th day God created SRV, history was written Amen!
Never heard of Danny Gatton I take it?
@@GeraciBlues Danny gatton doesn’t have soul like stevie sorry
@@bassmansrv9970 Jimi sure did
@@jonathonfuqua6730 that’s a tough argument jimi was a innovator, his playing in my opinion is still great blues and rock but is sloppy compared to SRV technique, that’s also why I say jimi is an innovator because stevie had all the time to learn his influences and pick up off of what jimi did and make it better jimi didn’t have that opportunity so you could argue it’s from the experience in my opinion, either way two amazing fucking players bless there souls
You can see that he is approaching his peak as a musician; what a loss. Rock In Peace.
was there, then saw him in Jackson, MS. in June of 1990, for the last time. :-( r i p
Where did he play in Jackson MS I missed it was it jubilee jam do you have a video
@@JaniceArrington maybe not 6th but I'm sure was same week of the 90 jazzfest
@@JaniceArrington no video, no phone cams, lol, at coliseum, think was 6/6/90, on tour with Joe Cocker, billed as the power & the passion tour! appropriately named as well!
Saw him at Alpine Valley in late August 1990. One day before the helicopter crash. Absolutely awesome show. Man, time Flies by so fast.
What a gift for his fans on planet earth to have access to. Thank you so much to whoever taped this and to posted this music. SRV was amazing! He knew...... He just knew. Why?
Why? I know this sounds silly & I'm not trying to make light of your question but Stevie could have been a misplaced Earthling who may not have known he was from another planet until close to his tragic death. He did have a fascination with UFOs...
@Pamela Garcia: 😂
I was there 😉😊😎😎😎. I've been looking for this video. Thanks. Good Times Good Times
Hey there is another full concert on youtube of 1988 Jazzfest concert-indoors I think maybe on the Steamboat President? GREAT quality-looks sharp😎
Guitar playing isn't a competition. There is room for all and we can all have preferences - as in life. I just try to enjoy it all. Have fun! from all who love music in the UK and appreciate huge talent. This guy was truly amazing!
17:15 The many live versions of Mary had a little lamb always blows me away because of his freewheeling solos... absolutely incredible.
That was another level tho. His sounds and feel were absolutely beautiful. Still listening to it today 2022
I agreee !
I love the classic rock vidos , bring back my youth, lol
Folks if you have never been to Jazz Fest in NOLA put it on your bucket list...I lived right across the street on Fortin St. 1971-1973..My friend Mike and I would hop the fence and walk around and check out the sights. There may be maybe 2 thousand people. Now it is 2 weekends and several hundred thousand people attend. It is the best time you will ever have with your shoes on....mini Woodstock for 8 days with food and drink and bathrooms...
HALL OF FAMER! I love this guy forever! Legend!
