This is how you play the blues...playing the guitar without looking and make it look easy...behind your back for a good quarter of the full song...almost impossible, but child play for Stevie...
+Roberto-Sama Barrera All his were/and are good. RIP Stevie!!!!! I'll be going to Dallas to visit Stevie and his dads headstones next year along with going to Austin.
Sweet jesus, everytime he bends a note, I'm like please stop bending the fuck out of my feelings, like every blue feeling I have deep down in my heart screaming for mercy, this is a phenomenal blues performance if I'm not saying the most phenomenal blues performance I've ever listened to. Pure soul. Blues power.
I'm a huge fan of the Ripley Music Hall rendition, I just can't get enough when he goes balls to the wall with the solos, fuck, those Albert King bends are like a portal to a higher plane of existence. That being said, this one is for sure one of the better performances, and the El Mocambo version is gut wrenchingly awesome too. Honestly though, I love Stevie's Texas Floods so much that I made a whole playlist on Spotify of every different performance that I could find (and where SRV is concerned) they're all top notch performances, but some of them really are a whole other level of good, some performances just exude soul, some performances illicit an almost shamanic experience. It's crazy.
Great sound , best version, lay down played, not to fast. Bass is having this extreme nice low pumping sound... Had never the opportunity to see the master at a live concert.... But I'm grateful to have UA-cam 😀
I just wish I had a video camera back in '83 when I was stood in awe, watching SRV & DT play for the first time in England, UK at the Reading Rock Festival - Stevie just blew everyone away that day........he was phenomenal, absolute raw blues. RIP Stevie, you changed the direction of my life for sure.
August 27 is a Day I will Never Forget We Lost Our Beautiful SRV Brother But I know Were Ever He is He Will Be A Rocking HE IS ALWAYS IN MY HEART AND ROCKING IN MY HOUSE Love Ya Always Your SRV Sister Laura
His tone was so particularly sick in this concert seems like he slowed things down a little more to enjoy the screams of his strat himself. Can you imagine the lucky audience in Tokyo lol?
Tonight it's raining down in Texas, and a force 5 hurricane (Patricia) is going to add a lot of moisture...hope the flooding down in Texas is not too bad! Amazing version, really captures his energy and thick sound! www.weather.com/news/news/texas-new-mexico-plains-flood-threat
Might be faster out there ......Never be a more soulful reach in with a note n tear ur heart out picker like him......The world is a less place without SRV
What an extraordinarily phenomenal musician while Stevie Ray Vaughan lived to entertain and perform in his young years of life..terrific band always on every gig..Stevie is legend and his sound of music will always be out in the airways..RIP .
Damn, he play so well, and even on his back and side, and his 12 bar strumming is fantastic and as far as I know none on UA-cam can do it as well or hold it 12 bar, he was a world nr 1 in Blues... A Hendrix nr 2. And then die in a sad plain crash, just like Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens, and in much the same scenario where they had to flip coins about who was going in Helicopter.. May all your musicians meet in the great halls of music in the afterlife and may we be there to listen R.I.P all of you.
Going to Texas with Stevie Ray Vaughan would be phenomenal..and his music going out over the airwaves and his song is travailing right along and the rhythem is always at its best..band is terrific..Blue's and Rock n roll played on Stevie Ray Vaughan's electric guitar is legend as well as the musician behind it..r u with me? Stevie Ray Vaughan is legend and every performance Stevie did on any stage is sensational..talent is what Stevie was full of and showed it out to the world..RIP Stevie..what an entertainer and performer..going strong in 2021..
It's another great day being entertained by Stevie Ray Vaughan and his terrific band once again..The greatest guitar stringer and vocalist to be on any given stage..blue's and rock n roll is what its about..Stevie has the rhythem and is legend all around the world..RIP Stevie..what a phenomenal musician.
The guitar legend..never forgotten ..Stevie Ray Vaughan ..most popular b lo he's and rock band that has taken a stage to perform there phenomenal music and song..Only Stevie can do..rhythem is fantastic ..RIP Stevie..thinking of you in 2021 and listening to your sweet sound..
Miss Stevie's playing soo much! Can't image what the future would have held not only for the blues but music in general had he not been killed. His unique style will be copied for decades but never matched. Thank you very much for posting this amazing example of Stevie's artistry.
The legend and awesome Stevie Ray Vaughan and DoubleTrouble sounding out..This is fantastic..the Best..Stevie Ray Vaughn is the best in solo and plays a mean electric guitar without skipping a beat..Thank God for blue's and Rock n roll..RIP Stevie..U were so young at the time u went away..but..your still being heard all over the world by U Tube..thank you U Tube
The Texas Legend..Stevie Ray Vaughan and his band..a great performer with his legendary guitar and his masculine voice hitting every note ..A fantastic dresser and every performance is phenomenal..r u with me? Stevie left us at a very young age and is so missed all over the world..RIP Stevie..still listening in 2021
Love Stevie. I you like Stevie - you gotta dig some Albert King Too ! Both giants and inspirations to each other - and many others around the globe! :-)
People talk about the SRV tone. And rightfully so. I've been a student of this phenom for all of my days since college. My lab was outdated when I started school and so tubes were all over the place. I took a couple classes in tube technology. Everything else was transistor and solid state. everyone was raving about size...how small we could get things like amps and oscillators and such. Well I started playing with audio amps and being bored and a bit of a degenerate, I tried many times to blow them up!! Yeah. Tried to burn em up right there in the middle of the lab at 2AM with only me and a guitar and a power supply. I tried about everything but really couldn't. Now with Transistors....that was a different story. If you breathed on them wrong, they died. Silently. Whimpy! So in the melee I discovered that the harder I abused my tube [haha] the better it seem to like it! Tone wise. Come on you guys...I'm trying to be serious......[for once]. Anyway long story short some tubes liked it more than others. Yeah you guessed it!......AMERICAN MANUFACTURED ONES. Since this was the 70's I had plenty of donated 50's and 60's tubes laying around. Thousands of them really. Bottom line I discovered that RCA meatball logos were great in the front ends of amps, while the Mullard tubes seemed to love high voltage in the secondary power amps! Aside from the Mullards nothing has really changed even today. I seek out the old RCA's and of course have to charge accordingly, but the end results [for serious tone seeking players] is well worth the costs. SRV's tech [s] new this too, and recently you can hear JD SIMO spouting the advantage of great tubage!
That sound is just echoing through the .midst of fans to see Stevie Ray Vaughan and the terrific band that has taken the stage..Stevie is a blues and rock n roll legend and plays his electric guitar full speed ahead and not skipping a single beat..RIP Stevie ! still entertaining in 2021..
Thanks to whoever posted this. A great rendition for sure! Somebody knew what they were doing! Commenting on the SRV performance. For some yet mostly unexplained reason, performers who head to Japan to perform seem to relax more and concentrate on the music. I find these performances superior to a lot of modern American venues. Just an observation...but a happy one to be sure. Cheers. Greg
So fine and down to the BLUES, SRV style. A unique and amazing musician, or maybe magician. Tommy and Chris are down on it, too. Great stuff - thanks for posting.
I lived in Houston, TX at that time and I'll never forget listening to Dana Steele on KLOL doing her best to read the news reports the next morning....every car on the freeways had their lights on going in to work.
"We'd like to thank you for bringing us to Tokyo,
We expect you to go to Texas with us right now"
Really? Wow! Sweet! Ya from Dallas? RIP SRV
Adrian Avila Priceless... ☮️
Christy Smith Hey , Wanna talk through Hangouts

This is how you play the blues...playing the guitar without looking and make it look

I love how Stevie always did that little laugh.

I just wish I had a video camera back in '83 when I was stood in awe, watching SRV & DT play for the first time in England, UK at the Reading Rock Festival - Stevie just blew everyone away that day........he was phenomenal, absolute raw blues. RIP Stevie, you changed the direction of my life for sure.

Whoever dislikes this doesn’t know they’re hearing one the greatest rigs ever played by the best ever
This is my new favorite version of any of his songs. He was 'feelin' it that night.
It is truly awesome!!
This rendition of Tin Pan Alley has to the most amazing displays of letting the music flow through you.....a very gifted musician.
i think texas flood = live at el mocambo= is better ,but still ,,,,,,, fantastisk!!!!
His tone was so particularly sick in this concert seems like he slowed things down a little more to enjoy the screams of his strat himself. Can you imagine the lucky audience in Tokyo lol?
jesus christ, Chris really knows how to keep the beat going.
obviously Stevie just kills it, as awlays, but that drumming is amazing sounding.
Haven't seen a single soul do this since then. He's Solid King Great!
I agree this Texas flood from Tokyo is awesome
It's flooding down in Houston:( wish Stevie was here with us 😭❤️
Fue uno de los mejores músicos del mundo srv
Que mal que un helicoptero acabara con la vida de SRV, es triste no haber podido verlo en vivo!! :'( :'(
Tonight it's raining down in Texas, and a force 5 hurricane (Patricia) is going to add a lot of moisture...hope the flooding down in Texas is not too bad! Amazing version, really captures his energy and thick sound!
www.weather.com/news/news/texas-new-mexico-plains-flood-threat
you can tell those were his drinking days. what a great man, he's missed daily.
For me the Greatest Bluesman Ever!! Saw his last tour with Jeff Beck Holy Cats !!!!
It was like a mix between things that I used to do and texas flood. Leave my little girl alone but in g
Might be faster out there ......Never be a more soulful reach in with a note n tear ur heart out picker like him......The world is a less place without SRV

Stevie Ray Vaughan feels every beat of that drum and his guitar of each note being played..So musically inclined and bred for music..marvelous
oh i mistyped it... geez, okay one more time.... bobby.vaught2
How do you dislike this video? SRV at its finest!!!
"we expect you to go to Texas with this right now !" ahahah shure we did
you can tell those were his drinking days. what a great man, he's missed daily.
kind of makes me smile and sad at the same time -he will always be missed ,but never forgoten

+GREG GUITARS LLC He's certainly more into it here than he was in the Montreux performance (also on UA-cam).
"ha ha!", " We'd like to thank you for bringing us to Tokyo...we expect you to go to Texas with us right now "
Gives me goosebumps.
54 people were not amused???? Insanity.
Blues at its finest
I believe his recording actually did cause a flood in Texas.
This “man” wasn’t human.
stevie will always live in my memories he was a guitar god
Stevie was all about the music .. that is why there is no talent today .. it's all about 30 seconds of fame on the Red carpet and money
A True Legend !!
There is nobody that tears into a song like Stevie Ray , He was coming from somewhere so deep and so beautiful .
~ Bonnie Rait ~
That was amazing...
My number one musician for more than 20 years. In fact I can listen to his playn 24 hours a day and still get chicken skin when I find a new detail.
I could listen ti this all day.......!!!
SRV is dead. Why do people like him die and other evil bastards live? Ok cynical answers are expected. Anything logical?
Nothing like a drunk band!
+Jahn Beukes when you are drunk yourself and need a good blues...
You are correct, Jahn..... Too much S A K I , I suspect .... But Stevie was on the mark though !!!
beautiful cocaine and whiskey.
20000 orgasmos sufre mi oido contigo steve.... unico!!!!
Jajaja que capo
So fine and down to the BLUES, SRV style. A unique and amazing musician, or maybe magician. Tommy and Chris are down on it, too. Great stuff - thanks for posting.
26 years ago tomorrow Stevie was killed in Alpine Valley..........RIP
I remember that terrible night like it was just 26 seconds ago, the world lost a legend. RIP SRV
I lived in Houston, TX at that time and I'll never forget listening to Dana Steele on KLOL doing her best to read the news reports the next morning....every car on the freeways had their lights on going in to work.
Rick Davis, Heaven done called another blues singer back home.
He's at the side of GOD, giving him lessons !!!! , and God, is having such a lot of fun
Best blues tone ever ......all guitar players like me lets enjoy being at church .......
Yes there is a God, This music is heaven. I saw him at UVA in 1985 and it took my soul on a rollercoaster ride.
William,
Are you really related to Stevie?
Or is it a joke?
What is UVA?
Adrian Avila University of Virginia , I might be kin but the chance is slim, born with white man disease NO Rhythm.
I knew that, My bad!
How was it seeing play there?
Was it fun?
Are you really related to Stevie or is it a Joke?
Awesomeness at its VERY BEST 💞
"But we uh expect you to go to Texas with us now." 0:42
Grand Master
His strings are like XXX size...like steel cable. LOL
ONE SMOOTH KAT ON THE GAT :) RIP
This is how you play the blues...
Them bends at 6:48 - 7:00 though...
+Mike L with those gauge strings and that action height it's just astonishing it's even humanly possible
Mike L the feedback of the amp just before, maaaan
It's like he was using piano wire for strings! Unbelievable…
My God he was a Beast!! Fucking unreal...
So totally awesome! Love you Stevie.
100% OklaHoma Best Time Of His Life SRV!
A great inspiration!
at 6:41, he was like... wait, hold it, hold it.... NOW
This is where the sun strikes hard on his soul.
ME PARECE QUE EN ESTE RECITAL ESTAN LAS MEJORES VERSIONES EN VIVO OOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree 👍💞
Indeed Sir. Well said
Tanks
En este recital lo toca con bastante sentimiento. Se puede percibir!!
SRV IS THE BESTBLUESMAN
4:24 holding that note. Just out right sensuous.....
Brilliant
Damn. Well, what I meant to say was... shit. I mean... aw hell, you know what I mean.
+Bobby Vaught definitely
srv is something, only gary moore comes close to him!
It's Texas Hoops. Only, it's the way the happy boy who Stepped Up, wanted to do it. Good for Stevie, Tommy, and Chris.
