I don't give a damn what anyone else says. When he was alive he was one of the best guitar players on the planet!!!! Such a shame he was taken too soon.........
Every time I watch his videos, I realize what the world lost all those years ago. Very few have been his equal , if any. What a shame that the world lost him so soon.
I NEVER get tired of watching and listening to Stevie play. Still sad about his passing to this day and thinking about what might have been. My all time favorite.
Stevie was a humble guitarist who acknowledged everyone's contribution to music. But Stevie Ray Vaughan was built different. He perfected his craft to a level in my opinion to which no one yet has achieved. Greatly missed. RIP Stevie Ray. You are greatly missed 🥲
Yes, Steve Ray was one great guitariste, but, is and was not the only one, still to this day, Hendrix, Clapton only to name thos two are as good! Also look-up on youtube for Pat Pietracupa's work Cheer's
No disrespect to Double Trouble, but that is the best version of my favourite song that I have ever heard. You hear people say Stevie was one of the best. You can shorten that. Stevie was the best. Period. There are a lot of greats in the history of 20th century, western pop music, but no guitar player offered more.
This backup band was actually filled with VERY talented and accomplished musicians.... They were still blown away by SRV... you should check out when SRv was on Arsenio... Arsenio's band was amazed just by his warming up
You know you a Bad Man when you pop a String on national TV just pull it off show everyone and go on to next song with no panic. That's A Bad Ass Bass Player!!!!!!WOW!!
I have been and remain still an avid fan of Stevie Ray. I first discovered him in the 90s and have never been disappointed with his musical vision. The man was a genius. Miss him greatly.
I was lucky enough to see SRV live back in the mid 80’s.The man was a player.He could bend railroad ties with those hands,that battered old Strat took a beating with his playing style.What a loss to music world.✌️
SRV is an exceptional guitarist but nobody ever comments on what a great vocalist he is. Not only is he the master of this style, he created it. Nuff said.
I thought the same thing less than halfway thru it, too. He is "on" here, extra sharp chops, Lots of vocals in the vocals, all kinds of flair & heavy struttin', you know?
Yeah, but the other dude on the Strat needs to dial it back. Stevie is the star and the dude is distracting. The director and cameraman knew this and angled him out as much as possible.
Brother Hiram Bullock is right there with him. Two of the baddest guitar players ever, and also two of the coolest beat to sh1t sunburst Strats playing on the same live performance. This performance captured lighting in a bottle. Bass player had so much fun he broke a string, and kept playing into the next song. This whole performance is pure joy.
Stevie left a HUGE hole in music. Nothing close to him before and nothing like him since he left... way too early. I am fortunate to be living in a time with such amazing music.
@@JulieLambert-b1lExactly! I totally agree. Stevie Ray Vaughan could make anyone look great. He is still missed and loved 😢 Rest in Peace Stevie Ray Vaughn✌️❤️🌼
Masters. No shortage of talent there. Had never heard of the show- was this their house band? Omar Hakim, Hiram Bullock- not familiar with the bassist, but he was killing it.
My husband was a BIG Stevie Ray fan. Just wish I had found this before my husband passed away in September. He would have really enjoyed seeing this. He introduced SRV to me.
@Marcus Harjo oh, yes. Have thought about this a lot. Can you imagine heaven with all our musicians playing together? Tom Petty was the one that hit me bad.
@Marcus Harjo He was not as big of Hendrix fan as me. When we met at 19 in 1974, he was in to CCR and John Denver. He was also the one who introduced me to my absolute favorites, Dave Gilmour and Floyd.💗
When you break a bass string and you tell Stevie I'll manage with 3. Phaaaaawwwk!!! How am I just coming across this amazing video in February 2020. Better late than never i guess.
I never thought I could ever see and hear both legends together, SRV and Omar Hakim! In fact, every musician is a powerhouse here. What an incredible tight performance. You'd believe they'd all been playing together since forever!!!
Omar (one of my favorite drummers) is brilliant, versatile beyond words, and _just_ the work he did with, for example, DIre Straits is a master class in modern rock drumming.
In 1984 Stevie won two WC Handy Awards, for instrumentalist AND for Entertainer. The blues is sort of held at arms length by some. The Handy organization has worked to change that. The awards are held in Memphis yearly, and are legit. On the podium while accepting the award, Stevie broke down and wept. He was inconsolable. Finally he gathered himself and apologized. He explained that guitar had been a natural occurrence, but that he was humbled by the recognition of his vocal talent by “people that truly knew”. He was still unknown to the general public, still hoping that his talent and passion would support him- something that eluded 99% of blues men before him. True award, true talent, true story.
It's hard to not watch his fingers on that Strat. but if you watch his face, that says it all. He loved what he was doing. We lost someone special in him.
I love Stevie Ray and Double Trouble but this band is fabulous. You can tell these guys are top flight musicians because they can play with someone they don't usually play with and sound like they have been together with Stevie Ray for years. Simply Dynamite post ! Thanks very much !!
It was Vaughan who became an all-time Blues legend after the very 1st note we heard him play. It was he who was ear-marked and destined to become the "Heir Apparent" to BB King as the new King of the Blues for the younger generation of Blues fans. His loss is a blow the Guitar community and the Blues community has never recovered from.
Stevie is the master I would loved to have seen him live…sadly I spent my younger years into thrash,metal, and hard core music and missed out..thank god for these vidoes at least..RIP srv.
There simply has never ...ever... been a better music show then "NIGHT MUSIC" on T.V. Every show...week in and out was a true master class of talent! And there truly was no fiercer or brighter star on a Strat then Stevie Ray. What a jewel of a performance. I worship and cherish every note.
Just when you think there is no SRV video or audio that you haven't seen, somebody posts a jewel like this !! Thanks for sharing this incredible performance !
Is this as Good as it gets...or What ?!!!! Drums.. pounding...Bass ... thumping..Mr 'Guitar' Bullock.. RIP.🙏Dancing.. . Stevie Ray on lead guitar/vocals....Man oh ...MAN !! Awesome !!! OMG... Mr Dilly.... Loving lt !!!! 👍🎸😎❤️
The closest guy to Jimi IMHO ….aided and abetted by the legendary Hiram Bullock ( his version of little wing on ,Sting’s album , is mindbending ) . Another fabulous offering again Fil ….thanks a million
I remember watching this when it first aired on television and being blown away at how really cool Stevie Ray Vaughan and all of the surrounding musicians were on this show. All of these many-many years later...I'm still blown away. Rest in peace Mr. Ray Vaughan, you are missed. To all of the other awesome musicians surrounding him, be well, and thank you for rocking the house.
I saw Stevie a few months before he left us...I was 20 ft max below him with a friend who was a studio guitar player and took me to see him...he was a mind blower...blew out my left ear drum...it was worth it....a musician like this comes along every 400 years or so
I've heard plenty of "all-star" collections on stage before, but they're usually just there for name appeal, give a bump in ticket sales or ratings. The songs performed were competent, professional and ultimately dull. This gathering however makes me feel like I'm hearing this song for the first time, and as it was meant to be played. Wow. I am just flat out amazed. I mean... Jesus Christ, man. I have replayed it for the 6th time and I am laughing my butt off at the pure talent and joy of playing together i've just witnessed. Thank you for unearthing this unbelievable treasure.
I was in 💘 love with stevie ray. He wore a mean black skinner on his head. That hat was awesome!! Rest in God's bosom. I bet he's playing a groovy guitar in heaven
The guy is talented. But as someone who saw Double Trouble AND the Vaughn Brothers over 30 times, you make it sound like Shannon (and Layton) was a lesser talent. Completely untrue. Stevie put his group together for a reason. Tommy, Chris and later Reese were unparalleled. Don’t just be the guy on UA-cam looking for “that comment”. And UA-cam.....placing ads at 5:30 is a sacrilege. You guys have no soul.
@@allenkennedy6748 I agree, Tommy Shannon was an absolute monster blues bass player and Layton could play that shuffle groove as good as anyone. This house band is great but shannon and Layton were not just side men, they were great players. They were a rock solid rhythm section.
Oh my lawd......Stevie Ray just assaulted that stratocaster. He just manhandled the guitar and bent it to his will. Man, I sure do miss his playing.....he became a guitar legend in the short time he was here.....just imagine what he would have done by now.....he had gone through the trials of addiction and came out on the winning side....his best years were still in front of him......gone too soon.
I saw SRV live, outdoors, in Manhattan in 86. Didn't know much about him before the concert. Blew me away. Best rock and roll I have ever seen live. By far.
That’s real music there ....everyone of those guys are A1 musicians in their own right. Notice how the bass player breaks a string and still continues on without missing a beat. And you can tell that SRV respects those other players. Real knows real.
Ahhhh, ummmm, errrrr.....GAAWD DAY'UM!!! No slackers here. When was this? 1989. Back when raw talent was abundant. Live sounded as good as recording. We were all very, very lucky to grow up with so much great talent. Cherish it 'cause it will never happen again sadly
this is what ya call a great back up band , Hiram on rhythm makes for a grand slam on these tunes . drummer here is off the charts great and bass really puts in 110% , even breaks a string and that aint easy ...gives Tommy a run for the money
Incredible band!! You can easily see that they were almost overwhelming for Stevie, but in a powerful positive way, it showed in his breathing and playing!! Omar Hakim is a powerful drummer!!! @4:20 Stevie takes a deep breath and realizes they have the song DOWN and he really cuts loose! Wow!!! Rest In Peace Stevie Ray Vaughan, Dave Sanborn.
I don't give a damn what anyone else says. When he was alive he was one of the best guitar players on the planet!!!! Such a shame he was taken too soon.........
he saved the life of EC by switching heli..
Amen to that !
Still is !!!
He lived just for playing, not everybody gets the chance.
I can't imagine anyone disputing you 😮👍✌️❤️🌼
Every time I watch his videos, I realize what the world lost all those years ago. Very few have been his equal , if any. What a shame that the world lost him so soon.
Yes a great loss 😢 I am so fortunate to have seen him live in '87, then poof in an instant he was gone 😢✌️❤️🌼
I will never, NEVER again hear another guitarist with that level of intensity. SRV was the best
SRV stands alone. But check out Kenny Wayne Shepherd. You will be glad you did😊
Good Lord, what an incredible backing band. Stevie should have taken them on tour.
I NEVER get tired of watching and listening to Stevie play. Still sad about his passing to this day and thinking about what might have been. My all time favorite.
Yes ❤
@@evilokram1SRV was great. David Sanborn and his band were fantastic, and played with other artists. What a combination of talent.

True that…
The freaking bass player broke a string. They were feeling that jam for sure
How can this be 30 years ago??? God, I miss SRV.
You know you a Bad Man when you pop a String on national TV just pull it off show everyone and go on to next song with no panic. That's A Bad Ass Bass Player!!!!!!WOW!!
HE'S DEAD YES,BUT IF YOU 17 TO 35 YEARS OLD NOW,PLEASE DON'T LET STEVIE'S MUSIC DIE AS YOU GET OLDER.
i sure as hell wont (im 15 so idk if i count but eh whatever i love his music and admire him as a guitarist anyway)

I agree.
Yeah I seen this on TV I was twenty-seven years old. I am 63 years old today rest in peace Stevie Ray Vaughan
SRV is my G.O.A.T. Every time I hear him, it brings a tear to my eye, just from missing him…
😂
I was lucky enough to see SRV live back in the mid 80’s.The man was a player.He could bend railroad ties with those hands,that battered old Strat took a beating with his playing style.What a loss to music world.✌️
You will travel oceans of time before you ever hear anything like this again .
SRV is an exceptional guitarist but nobody ever comments on what a great vocalist he is. Not only is he the master of this style, he created it. Nuff said.
I think it's because his guitar skills are in the top 10 ever in history and his brilliant strong guttural blues voice gets underrated
His vocals dripped with soul and they spoke so much more than just the words. I agree with your comment.
I’ve thought the same man. He’s got a killer voice forsure
his vocal was equal to his playing,all in one package,that is why the word genius applies,he was really something
I thought the same thing less than halfway thru it, too. He is "on" here, extra sharp chops, Lots of vocals in the vocals, all kinds of flair & heavy struttin', you know?
That voice! We don't talk about it enough!
I KNOW RIGHT 🎤
Funk was so heavy on that stage, surprised it didn’t collapse after the first 30 seconds...
Almost collapsed into a black hole! They were all on fire!!
Yeah, but the other dude on the Strat needs to dial it back. Stevie is the star and the dude is distracting. The director and cameraman knew this and angled him out as much as possible.
@@bill9989 Other dude is legendary Hiram Bullock and he is in just right place in mix!
That’s called black magic baby🔥🔥🔥🔥 these guys have a touch that can’t be learned, it’s all feel🔥

Masters. No shortage of talent there. Had never heard of the show- was this their house band? Omar Hakim, Hiram Bullock- not familiar with the bassist, but he was killing it.
me 70 and rolling
Apreciate from Brazil THE king Steve ray
70 years young. Marry me.
I'm a 66 year old white guy . SRV pushed it out there like no one else.
My husband was a BIG Stevie Ray fan. Just wish I had found this before my husband passed away in September. He would have really enjoyed seeing this. He introduced SRV to me.
Ditto Kitty.....huge fan here, just found this on my feed. Hope you are well and I'm sure your husband would be dancing to this!

R.I.P. Hiram Bullock 1955-2008.great guitar player
Hiram..... Talented
Famous for playing barefoot with Paul Schafer and the world’s most dangerous band on Letterman
WELL HOW CAN ANYONE TOP THIS MUSIC AND THROWING DOWN ON THE GUITAR STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN HAS IT SEWED UP .....!!!!
Stevie's greatness is reflected in the joy of the musicians. Look at the smiles on their faces as they play!
Right on! I noticed that, too. Even Tom Barney was happy about his broken guitar string.
Yep, they were groovin’, smiling, and dancing!
Indeed
Settle down bend over boy who cracks a smile fulla pile.....
You couldn't chisel those smiles off🤣💯👍🏿🤘🏿

im later than you and still incredibly blown away by a song , ive played this in bar bands,,,, but not like that OMG!!!
ギター小僧だった頃に毎日のように聴いていたSRVの曲。50歳を過ぎた今でも、私の心の中に彼はずっと生き続けています。
Stevie had the most killer attack, and that swag is off the charts. BAMF.
Stevie Ray Vaughan could play so clean, and yet with so much funk. Beautiful.
No auto tune here folks. Just pure talent and skill; the rest of the band is absolutely fantastic.
This is July 2022 and still can't believe how great he was!!!! We never appreciated SRV like we should have. God Bless
Same!
allot of us did appreciate him !!!!
Who's we
Got to see SRV in concert in the early eighties opening for The POLICE!Aloha from Hawaii🤙🏽
This is perfect. Just perfect. He is so good it’s beyond human.
I love everything about him! He was an alien! The mother ship took him back too soon!
I never thought I could ever see and hear both legends together, SRV and Omar Hakim! In fact, every musician is a powerhouse here. What an incredible tight performance. You'd believe they'd all been playing together since forever!!!

Omar is the man. One of the finest drummers ever.
You actually hear them together every time David Bowies “Lets Dance” comes on the radio. They did that session together. This was a real treat though
Bass player broke a string, ripped it off and played on 3 string style like a boss!
I heard about a bass player that broke all for Strings but that son-of-a-b**** kept playing all night long so I heard
lol Stevie looked at it and just went right on to the next song with no delay
@@zorroonmilkavitch1840 And that was me
@@bekchanovj tommy the cat was my name...and I say unto thee

The fact that he plays both musics better than studio version says something about how talented he was!
ABSOLUTELY ONE OF THE BEST
GOD BLESS YOU STEVIE
LOVE ALWAYS FROM FRANKIE SANCHEZ FROM DALLAS FUCKING TEXAS ❤
Such a tragedy for music that the world lost Stevie.
160 dislikes? No accounting for tastes. They are killing it in this video. Stevie at his best as usual.
Up to 661 now (3/6/20). WTF is wrong with people. This version is f**king epic.
The entire band is on fire!
If this was my house band,i would never leave home...just absolutely nailed it!
Who the hell has a 'house band' in their own home? Even weathy people don't have something like that.
A bass player snapping strings is seriously digging to get the groove out, super tasty playing
And he's just like "fuck it, I'll do the next one on three strings"
Ain't that Stevie's trademark
Oh man you copied that from me ... That bass is digging lowdown to the underground .
What a mind-bendingly amazing guitarist he was.
Normally you see SRV beeak strings, but not the bass player! THIS IS AWESOME, the band is in 7heaven
If anyone hasn't figured it out yet ,this is the cream of the crop. Thanks for posting.
Man not only was Stevie a master of the strat but he could also sing pretty well.
yeeaaaaa
He got all the groove in his pocket and so talentfull!!!
Great voice!
His voice is like honey over gravel!
In 1984 Stevie won two WC Handy Awards, for instrumentalist AND for Entertainer. The blues is sort of held at arms length by some. The Handy organization has worked to change that.

SRV had a fire and intensity that can never be matched! His unique style and sound is legendary!!!
The greatest blues rock guitarist of all time by a long shot
Stevie's technical virtuosity was just amazing. He truly was the master of his instrument! What an amazing guitar player! Wow!
One in a million.....err......billion.
He's a blues player. No master by a long shot
A pretty average blues player no technical virtuoso
@StevieZerø what a load of bullshit. He could play jazz as well being a phenomenal blues musician. "pretty average" 🤣
I hadn't heard this. So glad I did it before I died. (I am 82)
Bless your heart!
Only 82 that's young !
you are just starting bro keep going strong
you still have a couple years left in you. peace be with you
Too old to rock and roll too young to die!
Holy, f... me!. This has to be the best performance of this song. Soul pouring out!
Best version of this song I’ve ever heard.
Love this.man wish he was still here
Watch SRV’s videos over and over. The level of excellence is incomparable. He was the Master. Period.

watersharer and keeps playing!
Your so right.
And the fact that he just plays the next song with 3 strings instead of changing it out. Love it
You don't realise how good he was until you go back and look at these old videos. Prince was damn good too, much underrated if you ask me....
this is what ya call a great back up band , Hiram on rhythm makes for a grand slam on these tunes .
drummer here is off the charts great and bass really puts in 110% , even breaks a string and that aint easy
...gives Tommy a run for the money
i enjoy those bass line on
Incredible band!! You can easily see that they were almost overwhelming for Stevie, but in a powerful positive way, it showed in his breathing and playing!! Omar Hakim is a powerful drummer!!! @4:20 Stevie takes a deep breath and realizes they have the song DOWN and he really cuts loose! Wow!!! Rest In Peace Stevie Ray Vaughan, Dave Sanborn.
I had the honour in 1988 to see a SRV's concert in Lignano, Italy. This tape with these 6 maestros made me re-live that dream.
Two great guitarists together!!!!
Hiram & Stevie!!!
Tom Barney was playing the 3-string bass for most of the set, and just played on like nothing happened. Consummate professionals, all of them.
Now that was a KILLER lineup... WOW! Would have loved for them to have done a full concert together.
The BAND got into this jam !!! U can tell .. Thanks ... Dave ...
Omg…goosebumps and tears…..insane god given talent…..
This world 🌍 will nev😢 be the same 😢.
Man I forgot all about this show. Watched it all the time as a kid. Real instruments, real sound, real music.
The great Omar Hakim on drums!

Man. What a band.
The time when people actually gave a fuck about good music and musicianship.
