  • Stevie Ray Vaughan and DT playing Lenny for the last time at Knott Arena, Emmittsburg, MD on May 13, 1988. SRV did not play Lenny since he collapsed in Germany on October 86'. So after that he was to divorce from her, and when this was finally done, he played the song one last time. I do not own the copyright to this. This is for entertainment purposes only.

    I used to be into queen, still am, I’ll always love queen but I remember thinking “there’s no way it gets better than this” then I found out about Clapton (I play guitar myself so I always wanted to see the goats and Clapton was the only name I knew) so after Clapton I discovered Hendrix. I knew Hendrix was the undisputed god of guitar for all his innovations and revolutionary way of playing guitar but I wasn’t into his music that much either. Then one day, scrolling thorough Facebook I found a video that said “Stevie Ray Vaughan and Albert King- Pride and joy” now, I had heard of the 3 kings so secretly I went into that video, hoping Albert would kick this guys stevies butt. But within 3 seconds of Stevie beginning to play, I knew he was different. And I knew he was going to be the next big thing in my life. And so it has been for the last 2 years. I cannot put into words what Stevie did for me from his grave. I’ve learned sooo much from him, life lessons and music too. I’m so sad I never got to see Stevie, I was born in 2000. And if there’s one regret I have in this life, is not being born on time to see this greatness. It’ll be stevie’s 30th anniversary since the day he passed in 2 days.
    Rock on in heaven Stevie. Forever in our hearts

      I was deaf for 60 years, but then I got a cochlear implant. I didn't know how to hear, so I had auditory therapy every week for three years. My son-in-law has admired SRV for a long time. Then one day, I ran across a UA-cam video of Stevie. I decided to see if I could figure it out. I listened. My gosh! Wow! Never heard anything like it. I'm sure artificial hearing is different than normal hearing, but my gosh!! He was playing sounds I never imagined existed! He was magnificent wasn't he? What a beautiful soul he was and what a tragic loss for all of us.

      I have the same story as you but Hendrix was my inspiration. I'm just now starting to explore again because I've listened to almost every Hendrix song there is- even the bootlegs only on youtube. I just found out I'm in the top 0.001% of listeners on spotify. So far what I've found is everyone who was intensely interested by Hendrix has become an indescribable master of guitar. Stevie ray is no exception. He once said he felt like Jimi Hendrix was a brother to him and he felt close to him even though they never met. I totally get that. Theres just about 3 artists who I think have a pure connection to music (on guitar) and I think they were Jimi, Stevie, and on a good night, Eric Clapton. This song is some good ass evidence. Why do all my friends like rap? They're missing so much.

    Well, I have to add another story of my time with this man. Merriweather post pavilion in Columbia MD 1989. I was working security and being the older dude (23) they put me backstage. Not one of the other workers knew who he was or cared but I sure did. The bus pulled up for a few min and out came the posse with Stevie being third to exit. Fresh pack of Kool's and a smile on his face. Being the only black dude there he came right for me. I said Mr Vaughn your wait is 13 min and there are food and drinks in the stage room. He laughed and said they already ate and asked me if I had a light. I had a black zippo and he seemed to like it. They all stood around and cracked jokes about Philadelphia where they were the night before and said he was glad to be out of there. The main mangt type guy said time to go and they just walked on stage like it was just another day at work. I think they played for 2 hours and 15 min and was floored at every note. Jimmy and he played the double neck and jimmy backed him on Travis Walk and Texas Flood. After the final son they went to exit and he looked at me and said " did you lack it (like with a texas drawl) I said hells yeah. He said did it sound good to you, I said man, you sounded like you might wanna check your family tree. Jimmy laughed out loud and Stevie just smiled and him and his soaking wet shirt walked past me and he said Thanks and headed to the bus. Not the best story but that shit meant alot to me. I just could not fan out cause its silly. I paid to see him after that 6 more times but wow, he was a nice man.

    I was at a Los Lobos show at the Greek in L.A.. Between acts, my girl had to use the restroom. I stood outside waiting for her, the lights went out and Los Lobos were about to come on stage. As I look to my left, in comes a small group of people. It is SRV and Lenny with bodyguards. They have to walk right past me to a side door. I am bugging! No one around but them and me. He sees that I recognize him and his body language says leave me alone. I pull out a pick (Herco Heavy) and simply hold it up to him. He smiles and pulls out a Fender medium from his pocket and flips it to me and gives me a thumbs up and goes through the door. A real treasure, the pick and the moment.

      Yeah, you absolutely were lucky. He had already been killed by the time I was old enough with a higher level of interest to really notice him beyond the radio, so I didn't have a chance to ever see him. I grew up with a lot of greats from many different styles being played around the house. A significant number of the artists I love are dead, too old, too "big" to come here, or are too expensive when they do come here or close. I keep forgetting that a lot of the music made during my lifetime is already considered classic. Those bands were only recently, or will soon become, eligible for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It's a good feeling in some ways.

      +dylan chatfield I think it may be the recording that makes it sound like
      standard tuning, as some commenters have opined. The tempo is noticeably
      quicker and his string vibrato also seems at a different rate than usual. As far
      as I know, he always played tuned down one half step. The only time I saw
      him appear to be in standard 440 tuning was with Albert King on the "In
      Session" DVD. I'm not positive that's the case but I've played along with and
      watched it several times. Albert used a weird tuning so it's possible Stevie
      tuned standard to make it easier for Albert and him to play together. Just
      a guess on my part.

    When I was a senior in high school in the Fall of 1984, I was absorbing as much music as I could possibly get my hands/ears on to learn and study as a sax player. I was a complete Jazz-Hole (listening to Parker, Coltrane, Monk, etc.). Jazz was my life, and I was convinced it was everything great about music.
    But then …. one of those early days in the Fall of the school year, before rehearsal, the guitar player and bass player in our high school jazz band were just messing around playing a tune, of what I later, upon asking them, found out to be, “Couldn’t Stand the Weather.”
    As soon as I heard it, I had to know what that tune that was, and who did it . I hadn’t heard of Stevie Ray Vaughan before that. I was engulfed by its feel and groove. That weekend, I put all my shekels together, went to Tower Records, found the eponymous album of this new tune I was so enamored with, purchased it, came home and began to listen, and then ……. 🤯🤯🤯
    That was this first moment when I really understood the beauty of music. Stevie Ray Vaughan has, from that day, been a bedrock in my love and enjoyment of music. The more I learned from him and about him, the more I came to understand what music meant for mankind. He was a gift from God. And if you listen very closely, when he plays/sings, you can hear God speaking through his very immensely talented child. God Bless You SRV! It is, it was, and it always will be an honor and privilege.
    SIDENOTE; I did catch him once live, and I don’t have any personal story about an interaction with him, but needless to say the show was more than inspirational.

    Wish I could've seen him live. Even though I'm a player I didn't become aware of Stevie until a couple yrs before he died. I used to deliver oxygen and nitrous and while on my route heard Riviera Paradise. Had to pull over and just let those beautiful notes wash over me. Truly a master at his craft.

    I was there that night. A day that I will never forget. I my friends and I went from Detroit. None of us were ever there before but had a high school buddy who just moved there. We had the best time of our lives. And we left out the wrong gate. It was on opposite side of our parking. As we walked around we got stopped by security guards. They said we had to wait as the helicopters were about to take off. I watched as they flew off. Then by time we got to car…..we heard. That changed my life. We drove home and stopped on beach of Lake Michigan. We just sat there for hours…..just hearing the notes played the night before over and over again. Miss SRV to this day

    Heh, I’m far too young to beat any of these stories but I first heard Pride and Joy when I was watching back recording of my parents marriage with them (my parents are both huge into rock), I never really understood it until I started playing guitar, since then my goal in life has been to carry on the legacy of Stevie and Jimi and all the greats. Hopefully one day I can visit his grave to pay my respects. Rest in Peace Stevie, I wish I could’ve met you, hopefully I can make you proud

      I was like get that shit out of my, Hold on What? give me that..
      I just saw Stevie two weeks before, he was out of rehab and straight as an arrow but still played like the devil, gave a great speech during Life without you, he was so happy and clear headed.
      He inspired me to keep playing after my band broke up.
      He was truly a blessed man, no ego just wanted to play and entertain.
      Lenny reminds me of sitting on the deck at Sam's on Hudson beach Florida sucking down suds and watching the sunset with my friends. Miss those times and Miss you truly Stevie..

      How do you think his brother feels when Stevie took his seat on the chopper? Obviously Jimmy Vaughan is the lesser talent of the two and the world wouldn't have missed him like we miss Stevie. He's gotta live with that every single day. Brutal.

    What an interesting version, not only does he play noticeably faster than usual, but he's also tuned to E, instead of Em.
    Besides when he played with Albert King in that session album, never heard him play out of Em.
    One for the books!

      When playing along with the guitar, it's definitely E. The pitch can be effected by it being sped up though, like Brandon said. So he might of played it in E flat, but in our shoes -- it's definately E.

      @megaminiman 3 роки тому +1

      there was a discussion about that when this video was uploaded. I think it's the compression of the audio, just enough to shift the pitch of everything up, but not necessarily speeding up the tempo, because while this isn't the same tempo as the original recording, it sounds right considering everything else.

    • @justinsalgado4402
      @justinsalgado4402 3 роки тому

      @@megaminiman it is sped up. the vibrato is really fast and there’s some things like rakes that can’t be played with that speed and sound that way. if you play it at .75 speed it sounds closer but there’s still the semitone difference. it almost definitely is sped and pitched up

    If I am correct this was the last time he played this song because he wrote it for her and while they was married he would play it but he had decided to finally file for divorce and that is why he never played it again.

    • @TheInnerYouCAS_K
      @TheInnerYouCAS_K 4 роки тому +3

      He was FORCED to file. He was heartbroken. Management and the urging of Janna made him file. He badly wanted to reconcile with his wife Lenny. Lenny got on that plane then had second thoughts as she was scared. Should Stevie been able to continue recovery alone as in still married but separated with a bit more time to prove things they most likely would have reconciled. Despite all, they still deeply loved each other. Cutter knew as others.

      @TheInnerYouCAS_K 4 роки тому +1

      No, he brought it back in July. He never stopped loving Lenny. He still grieved her in his own silence and on this playing. She also still loved him deeply. She was sobbing so uncontrollably at his funeral Stevie's favorite Uncle Joe escorted her to a different area. Divorce was forced. Stevie did not want it. Lenny was also at Martha's funeral.
