I first saw Srevie in the summer of '83. I was fifth row, center. He played this for twenty minutes -- only the first few did he have his guitar around his neck. He leaned it against the two Vibro-Verbs and the two Super Reverbs and played above the nut, the springs in the body -- all the while pumping the vibrato arm. At one point, he flipped the stand-bys on and off -- and he came up with gunfire, I kid you not. I had read that Jimi would do that but when Stevie did it I was floored. Pick up switch in the middle, tone rolled off -- for the shaking and summer-saulting. Then, quite a bit of standing on the body, pulling up on the neck and vibrato arm and letting go -- bam!! Bam! He played the final theme fretting hand only, right arm over his eyes, throwing the guitar up and letting it slide down his left hand, to move positions. Unbelievable. Then, he attached the strap -- checked his tuning -- his B string was out a half percent. THAT might just be the most MIND-BLOWING of ALL!!!! Blessings
@@donaldthescotishtwin if not the specific show he is referring to I'm sure you can find footage of Stevie doing every bit of what's described. He would hold his start by just the tremolo arm, with the guitar off the strap and just dribble the body all over the stage using the trem bar for a handle. The sliding as he catches it trick I've seen less footage of but I've seen it. So if that's what you're asking, as in, is there evidence of this even being feasible... Yes. Absolutely. Whether that specific night that the OP described was filmed, sadly, is hard to say though.
Great description! Stevie was absolutely wonderful. I was lucky enough to see him twice. And coincidentally, five rows back Center Stage, that's exactly where I was the first time I saw Jimi Hendrix. Two incredible guitar players!
No hero worshipping here. When it comes to music-or any art form for that matter- what's important to me is the way it makes you FEEL. Sure there are more technically accurate and precise guitar players out there than Hendrix... but you'll be hard put to find an artist that defines a generation, or an album that puts your mind in another realm as well as Hendrix did. And I mean a very specific time and place that his music takes you to. As for SRV... he kind of emulated Hendrix's playing. There's no question that SRV idolized Henrdrix but what he did with his music warrants its own merit. Like any great artist, you don't need to be told who the artist is when you see his work. Having said that, has it occurred to you that perhaps someone can have a very personal connection to a musician? Let's not confuse that with worship. And for the record, I will do now what no man on the internet has ever done--apologize for being crude. Sorry I told you to eat shit.
Controlled Jimmy was just so much more spontaneous. Sometimes he didn't even know where he was going and he didn't care. That's one of the reasons.He's a genius. He failed many times but kept striving forward. He could care less if he failed.Cause he's gonna keep doing more and more. Jimmy was a creative genius and there's many guitar.Players that play his music and some very well like stevie But they don't have his creativity. Jimmy was an inventor. Play the other people songs but did it his way. Stevie Ray is superb but I think he tries to play too much like hendrix
Stevie Ray voughan, um guitarrista excepcional conviveu ao lado de dois monstros da guitarra, eric clapton e jimi hendrix e com uma postura impagável criou e manteve seu estilo....
In no way do I encourage anyone to ever take drugs because 99% of the time, it's going to fuck your life up, but with that being said, if you have never been freshly baked and listened to 3rd stone from the sun with headphones on, laying on your bed, you need to.
I don't use drugs and never have and I LOVE SRV's work. I can tell in this video SRV was sober and had accepted the Lord. Wow.. what an effort.. But actually all the best music is listened to w/ ear phones.. and a cup of expresso... IMHO. :)
LOL, I was 14, and had already been playing since I was 6, so I could play decently. BUT, what I learned that night from watching him rip that fretboard apart, was TRULY PRICELESS... And now, today I found out David Bowie died yesterday... It just brings back all those sad feelings from 1990 again. So today I'll be jamming to David, Stevie, and Jimi all day...
Jack Holland I was waiting to meet him backstage at a show. A roadie took pity on me(I was 13 or 14) and gave me his backstage pass. As I was about to walk in, out he walked with his wife. I told him how much I loved Jimi Hendrix and practiced every day. So he asked if I wanted to go on his bus and show him what i got. LOL. Went in and played Purple Haze and Hey Joe. The solo for Hey Joe he played was simply AMAZING. I thanked him like one million times, got everybody's autograph, and reluctantly went home. LOL
I fucking hate helicopters, for this man to go through all he did, and then die in a wreck just makes me sad to my core.. I know I miss you Stevie, I hope there is an afterlife where he is playing with all the greats.
Wasn't the helicopter's fault. Blame the human flying the thing when he shouldn't have been. You don't pay attention to the weather and it will kill you. People think they "need" to be places and they don't listen to the inner voice that is trying to save them.
Totally amazing work.. I just found this searching for Third Stone from the Sun by Hendrix. Thank you.. :) great way to start out the day. :) and more coffee, please. :0
Stevie Ray Vaughan was 16 when Jimi Hendrix died. Can't begin to imagine if Hendrix and Ray Vaughan had lived to their 60s and they had had the opportunity of playing together...omg!
Third Stone From The Sun is my favorite Jimi Hendrix track, we have to remember that Jimi played the track in 1966, guitar players in 1966 hardly used the wammy bar effect so what Jimi did in that track was unusual, The Shadows used the wammy bar effect but they used it gently while Jimi used it very wildly, i saw on RUclips Eric Jhonson covering this track from a live show in 2016, he did a fine cover but what Stevie Ray Vaughan did in his cover version from 1984 is the closest thing to the version of Jimi Hendrix, thanks for sharing.
Truly a crying shame that the Lord saw fit to take him out so early, but he must have had a good reason, at least we still have all this great footage 😎👍🇺🇲🎸
@@markkennard861 The Lord didn't do it. He doesn't work that way. He doesn't just up and kill people for the hell of it. We live in a broken world and bad things happen to people. Plain and simple.
He was a once in 100 year talent right up there with Hendrix. What I love about his style is that he was NOT with the times. He played old school blues but did it as good as anyone. One secret to his sound was using extremely thick strings, he sounds completely different than anyone.
I saw SRV 16 days after this video was recorded in a 2200 seat hall in Indianapolis. My seat was in the 7th row. It's one of my favorite concert memories. He was one of the best to ever pick up a guitar.
I know this isn't a pecker-matching contest, but in January 1981, we booked him into the 100-seat bar in the University of Houston student :center. We paid them $140, and I'd never even heard of this band from Austin. Just about blew the top off my skull.
SRV turned Jimi's beautiful tune in to a muscle hard tune, bollocks to SRV! am I the only one that can see that SRV does not have the sensibilities of Jimi Hendrix, at best SRV is a great Blues player, Jimi was not a muscle guitar player, he was an adventurous gentle soul!!!

You will never hear surf music again.
I worked as Stevie's escort and bodyguard back in '84 and '85. He was a quaint fellow until he hit the stage!!!💙😎🤙
I first saw Srevie in the summer of '83. I was fifth row, center.
He played this for twenty minutes -- only the first few did he have his guitar around his neck.
He leaned it against the two Vibro-Verbs and the two Super Reverbs and played above the nut, the springs in the body -- all the while pumping the vibrato arm.
At one point, he flipped the stand-bys on and off -- and he came up with gunfire, I kid you not. I had read that Jimi would do that but when Stevie did it I was floored.
Pick up switch in the middle, tone rolled off -- for the shaking and summer-saulting.
Then, quite a bit of standing on the body, pulling up on the neck and vibrato arm and letting go -- bam!! Bam!
He played the final theme fretting hand only, right arm over his eyes, throwing the guitar up and letting it slide down his left hand, to move positions.

This is creativity and performance at maximum stage.

...and re-incarnated him as Derek Trucks
That's one tough Fender Stratocaster. I would never do that to any of my guitars RIP Stevie.
Good stuff, moral of the story, don't lend your guitar to Stevie.
LOL!!!
Jimi & Stevie, woulda liked dat
I would SRV any of my Guitars any day
@@ronnie5129 would certainly put the value up lol

Tommy Shannon and Noel Redding Best Bass players of all time, what a priviledge to be able to play for the Best Guitarists of all Time!!!
And John Paul Jones
6:58 Guitar tech hands Stevie a pick while No.1’s getting violated. Too funny!!!🤣
🎸Stevie called this guitar #1, his first wife. He said it would scream for him, not at him.
Pretty sure he just showed us how. 🎸
I've done both and lived to tell the tale...

Sweet. Thanks, Ryan, from an old SRV fan here deep in the heart of Texas (Austin). Rock on, brother.
What a style biter
He was a once in 100 year talent right up there with Hendrix. What I love about his style is that he was NOT with the times. He played old school blues but did it as good as anyone. One secret to his sound was using extremely thick strings, he sounds completely different than anyone.
Jimi had the voodoo magic, and Stevie Ray had soul !!!
Awesome performance!! Hendrix has been such inspiration. SRV totally does him justice and establishes himself as a true heir.
Castles made of Sand at 0:44 love it!!!
Amazing! Stevie in just a few minutes shows you how Hendrix got that sound.
Stomping on that ol’ Strat! Out did even Hendrix on that maneuver!!!
Wowee Zowie!! He just drives that guitar like he's in a Grand Prix race. Thanks Stevie

The master at work.
Total mastery of the axe..
Es un placer escuchar una y otra vez a este genio de las seis cuerdas, donde estés, con Hendrix, seguiréis regalando estos momentos mágicos.
High volume on amp and experimentation with the volume knob on the Stratocaster are a good beginning to get these outer space tones.
Oh my....thank you for posting this.
The best and only one who can cover Jimi Hendrix hands down Hail from HB
AWESOME!!!! GOOD JOB.... THANKS A MILL unccharris... I GOT GOOSE BUMPS WATCHING EVERY VIDEO.... THUMBS UP
Stevie era un genio de la guitarra. Gracias por subir este concierto.
wow thank you for this
My favorite guitarist, after Hendrix!
Those people in the audience are very lucky individuals.
Good one Ryan, never seen that before. Thanks
This was a beautiful job!
Absolutely cool as f___ !
This hook was took from coronation street. Jimi was was over in the uk and heard the theme tune and loved it.
tommy snerfsnerf ha ha cute!!! I remember that show
awesome, awesome, awesome !!!!!!!
This dude was amazing.
Holly shit! That was the greatest performance of 3rd stone from the sun ever!!!
SRV turned Jimi's beautiful tune in to a muscle hard tune, bollocks to SRV!
classic Grunge long before noise bands of the 90s

Can guarantee you Jimi ain't in Heaven. Not with the way he lived.
SRV - Third Stone from the Sun 1984, Germany
My goal as a guitar player is to play this note for note

Sooooo on 🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️😜😜😳😳😳😳😘😘😘Stevie Ray Vaughan 💋💋💋💋
Remember: Jimi,Hendrix wrote the Therd Stone From then Sun. And SRV knew what it was all ’bout. ❤ john coolman

This is where he made it his jam.
There are three main parts to this tune but wine you are SRV you can bypass that and just go crazy I guess
Besides being somewhat in awe, I come away from this with great sympathy for Number One.

Jimi would be proud!

Stevie Ray V had his whammy bar on the top not on the bottom that's how he got that sound
+Patrick Romero No
Jawohl, so muss man das machen! :-)
The star in this clip is the Strat.
Aggressive and excessive use of that whammy bar and six minutes in those octaves are still in tune? WTF.
Jimi would dig this
Now little boys of 2024, try doing that with your fancy modern amp sims. (Well, there's no way I could anyway)😢

For a boot video not bad. Smooth.

When did I change from Stevie Ray Vaughan And Double Trouble to early-80s California punk band FEAR?
Man. His "#1 guitar" was probably worth more to some of his fans than to him.
yes
