- FRAUD ALERT! 'Jackson Smith' has fraudulently posted Stevie's performance here as someone else doing it, a so-called 'Joshua Jet Vaughan'. How despicable can a person be?!?! Oh yes, that would include 'Anna Bella' too. Liars, all of them...
Here's the link to the video they originally posted and then took down; you be the judge:
• THE FRAUD - Joshua Jet...
1983, June 20th at Fitzgerald's Club, Houston TX, by Stevie Ray Vaughan
This is the best live version of Drivin' South by far, and as good as Jimi's studio version on Radio One. It's just pure BAD-ASS...
No matter how much you listen to him......you will always find something that will leave you in awe
Every new thing I hear of his
What a treat. Pure genius. Too bad so many people keep trying to make comparisons between Jimi and Stevie. Not everything in life is about wearing a crown or being the best, or number 1. Jimi and Stevie were priceless gems...They have nothing to prove they don't need to be placed in some sort of order.We just need to be thankful these guys left us with such a vast array of beautiful music.
everytime I listen to great rock and/or blues guitar players I am never moved like I am with this guy............there is just something about his playing that moves me like no other player does...........
I know exactly what you mean, and his style can't be copied. nobody like him.

The hypnotic pentatonic scale he loves my have somethin to do with that.
Exactly. His pl@ying and singing command our attention. He is a force to be recond with. Hes one of a kind. Just like Scott Hall there will never be another stievie. The night he passed that wasn’t supposed to happen.
@@derrickcraig4405 NOBODY could do what he did with the simple pentatonic blues scale. UNREAL
A man so talented he can cover Hendrix at the brain melting level. And it’s a only a small percentage of his whole bag.
Deep, Dangerous- Insired, Introspective - Painfully Expressive... Genuine- Simply Divine.. Words Pale for Expression There will never be another- Thank you for everything you gave us Stevie..
This is mindblowing. The best rock-blues guitarist by far.
Listened to SRV for 25 years now and just hearing this for the first time. Thank you so very much, as Stevie would say!
It's easy to forget, today more than ever, that true music is just a person with a piece of wood in their hands and whole lotta hearth and soul.
RIP Stevie Ray Vaughan..Sensational is your music and you were the best on guitar and vocal..r you with me?
I'm with ya, alright, alright
I’m with ya
Vaughan was a monster. Just an absolutely incredible guitarist. Mere words don't do justice to his talent.
Someone understands.
Please ... it's Stevie Ray or SRV. Nobody calls him Vaughan.
This was Albert Collins song "Thaw Out" , then renamed by Hendrix cause he loved it soo much....obviously SRV knew this and got to listen and practice to both of their styles and copy signature licks and feel then added his natural style to it.
Just an instrumental that gets played differently by many guitarists. Just saying incase some don't know this . Peace & Blues
I read this and went, "really?" And pulled out my Albert Collins recording. OMG! Same song!!!!
Woah! That’s actually really cool!
Hendrix's one is the best! NO debat! And, here, you can, clearly, hear the LIMITS of a guy like Steve Ray Vaughan! All the songs he's playing, are sounding, exactly, the same, even the cover songs! Always, the same phrases, sounds, etc.... When Jimi played ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER, even, a genius like Dylan, said, it was Jimi's song, since that moment, not his song anymore, and after, Dylan played that song with the Jimi's version, not his own! Steve Ray was a great guitarist, but, no creativity, it's always the same! It makes me laugh when i hear peoples saying Steve is the greatest guitarist!😅🫣🤮Please, be serious! Listen to that, you will realize the limits of that guy! He's, just, playing the Jimi's version, with a blues tempo, and playing the same solo's phrases as always! It's ridiculous!
@@julienmarquet8612 nope😎
@@julienmarquet8612 agree 💯 Jimi is way more creative, a maestro, no debate 😊
Henrix and Stevie. Had everything. Tone,voice master of the frets.
My Hero Forever the very reason I play blues rock See you in the next one Stevie.
the best guitarist since Hendrix and the only one with enough balls to actually play his music the way Hendrix would have wanted it to be played. I still prefer Jimi's version on the "Radio One" CD but this is kickin'!
Randy Hansen
@@deathwarmedup73 Randy Hansen while an amazing guitarist, isn't his own guitar player. He is by far the best cover musician I've seem but in terms of originality there's not much
@@deathwarmedup73 who?
@@maxmunzert9725 same with Katona
Ferocious and flawless. There will never be another.
What an absolute FREAK of brilliant nature this man was... No one can EVER take awa y SRV's unique tone and soul. There's Hendrix IN there, but it's so unique too. RIP SRV X
The more live Stevie I listen to and watch on UA-cam, the more I'm beginning to think that Stevie wasn't human. No mortal man has ever played with as much intensity and power than Stevie.
Have you heard Jimi Hendrix's & Band of Gypsys version of Machine Gun? Hendrix wrote the book on intensity ! - SRV copies a lot of his licks & playing style on this song here. I know SRV would say the same if he were here today.
Guy Incognito cocaine and whiskey lol the medical combo.lol brother
He copies a lot, but he also puts a lot of his own spin on things. That's really the whole point of carrying the torch that Jimi passed, is it not? That's how the genre evolves.
I call them aliens........Steve Vai and a few others are the same way.......they just arrive on Earth understanding more about how guitar music goes together than most will ever understand. ....they are prodigies.....they have no gap between what is in their mind and what their hands can play......
Look up philip sayces version of this song. Its probably alot more intense, nothing aginst stevie ofc
This Is my favorite version of Drivin South, starting with the nastiest Funk to Scorching Blues - shifting speeds, keys and tone. - with out skipping a beat or wasting one single note ------ And those bends of 13 gauge steel - my lord!
Yes, great cover.
Not one word spoken but a lot was said. ❤❤❤
I literally heard a riff that i have never heard before and He only played it for a moment. You guys should just accept that the top of the mountain is shared by Jimi and Stevie Ray, no one else can play like them
... No one
SRV Went into a trance whilst picking that 1959 geetar, holy Dawgshit!! Amazing guitar work!!!
No one can bend the strings like Stevie!
MY GOD (jaw dropped) this is extroardinary!! never heard this before. God i miss him!!
I saw Stevie live in London a couple of times 1987-89, he was my generation's Jimi Hendrix.
just listen and be nice to each other, life's too short
SRV was the absolute king of everything on guitar. His solos, rhythm playing, tone, vibrato, bending, phrasing, he was just on fire in every area as a guitarist.
One of the most badass performances in history IMHO. Major chill factor.
God, how I miss this man.....
Oh my lord, I never knew SRV covered Driving South. I'm almost bored with using superlatives these days. So just thanks for sharing, all, from my soul, ok.
I Wonder why this never made the cut onto an album??? Damn!! Blistering fretwork!!!
Stevie was the best. Sensitive and ferocious guitar work!
If anyone who knew anything about this style of music heard this for the first time, I doubt it would take them long to realize it's SRV. Sure, it's a cover, even a cover of a cover. But it's his. It's obviously his. And it's badass. Thanks for sharing.
there's good playing, and there's great playing, and then there's this: Phrasing that makes the best electric guitarists who ever lived say "god damn that boy can play"
Why did the comment saying Jimi's had more groove have 5 thumbs down? He's right.
Jimi had more of a groove. Jimi's was way more chill and laid back. Stevie's is aggressive and powerful, and Jimi's is relaxed and groovy. Totally different vibes of an insane song.
i love how at 1:19/20 he just tears into that note..not that thats the only time he does it
i LOVE that tearing sound!!!!!!1
This is absolutely incredible. He kills it. SRV and Jimi are so far ahead of anyone else it’s unreal.
With the power....! .love the hendrixy R&B vibe here! thank you Stevie🙏
Why must there always be a SRV was better than Jimi or vice versa? I love both of them along with Trower, Rory, and others that played with their whole heart and soul. I love what each and everyone brought to the table.
Exactly! It's like arguing over which is the best ice cream. I love them all!
All that bull about who beats who.Good music is good music,Period!
As long as I've been listening to SRV, this is the first time I've heard this, thankfully! That's what I'm talking about.
Wow absolutely beautiful !!! What a great version.
every time I listen to this I cant help but grab my strat and wail away..SRV at his best!! this jam is dripping some madd mojo..Happy Birthday Mr.SRV..RIP mah strat brutha!
I think Jimi would have loved this,someone like Stevie playing his music with such feeling and compassion. Can you imagine them jamming together. OMG they would have sounded so good together. I'm sure Jimi would have covered some of Stevie's music also. So sad the world never got to hear it.
I think they’re probably jamming together now along with the Kings, Albert Collins, Hubert Sumlin, Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf and Jeff Healey and many more! I sure hope we’re able to see them when it’s our time to go!
i never got to see jimi,but i saw stevie twice,1985,and 89 with jeff beck. stevie ray changed my life,got me deep into the blues and that path led me to loving hendrix,but i think jimi and stevie cut from similar,but different cloth. thank god for the both of them! long live rock and the blues!
My favorite thing ever said about Vaughan was by some metal player.." He is' nt going to come out and say it, BUT when he is playing behind his back and behind his head, he is saying that he is the man.....And HE IS THE MAN!" And he proves it like always again here.
Go Stevie! Sounds awesome. I'd love to watch this man perform live, now. Not just for myself, but for all SRV fans. Especially if you've never seen him live (like me), I'd gladly be 20 years older right now, to hear Stevie play on stage, pouring sweat, and smiling. Just once.
Exactly. What a gift given to us, unfortunately, tragically, in a very short period. On top of that, from what I've heard, a very humble and generous individual as well. The guy was getting his life in a great spot when he passed. He'd be the kind of person you'd want as a neighbor. And, who cares if he was loud! I'd keep the windows open during a blizzard to hear him practice.
I love this jam, and this is a great version by Stevie. I wish he would have recorded it in the studio.
Tommy Shannon is MAD underrated.
LOVE this version. I added it to our favorites and I keep going back to it over and over and over... SRV, by far, is among the greatest guitar slingers IMHO. :-) Thank you 928CS for posting this audio. 5 stars all the way.
being from houston i got to see stevie 8or 10 times before he wentbig,once at a club called rockefellers i saw john lee hookerrobert cray andstevie on stage atonce
Dude was an absolute legend
Still is!
Got to love it when Stevie went into Hendrix mode. About the only time he does it better was in 86 and 87 when he used the limited strat that they made like 10 of. Stevie killed the $hit out of that guitar...nevermind it's Stevie, I don't expect anything other than the best from him, especially when he's covering Hendrix. It's a shame that no one is left that has the same feel and passion for the guitar that Stevie and Hendrix both had for the guitar. Thanks for the upload!!!!!
They made 20.
My go song when I’m overpowered by funk
The Rykodisc Radio One version of this is one of the most exciting performances ever recorded by Jimi Hendrix. I missed seeing Stevie Ray live because his show was the same night that I had to play at the hotel where he was staying.
Unbelievably good.
Goosebumps never lie…
Thanks for posting - what a gem.
Awesome!!!!! Tone is amazing playing is even more amazing.
absolutely loved it! the best version ever
Just the loves of music 🎶
Thx for this. I love it.Love everything about Stevie....R.I.P!!
Would love it if there was a video of this,SRV for me was the best ever 👍👍❤❤
great song. i love srv, and that baseline is killer
FUCK ME I love it when I hear him playin something totally out of left field....WOW NOBODY TOUCHES SRV
Simply the best. Deep involvement in the tunes and a total understanding of the guitar makes the huge difference.
Any SRV fan can tell this is him, Love Him!
So much energy in this song!
MAN, that's a nasty groove!
David Aparicio Very well put! Your simple statement sums it up perfectly!
Wow! What a great performance! I reckon Jimi would say so too. Comparisons are odious.
I respec Jimi Hendrix and SRVs Style they were Two giants of Rock and Blues 🎸🎸
First time hearing this OMG! Where does it all come from? Yeah Guy Incognito he is an alien. There's an unidentified planet up there missing their beloved as much as we do. They beamed down this gift to us and he was lost. How, how in the hell does all that come outta one being? My tiny mind implodes to imagine what we'd have experienced through these SRV-less years. Wish we cud have him back again.😢 Always in our hearts.☮️😀
Such Raw Power! Such a Heavy sound!!
That is THE tone! Fantastic.
thanks for posting this !
long live srv...
his tone was unbelievable on this !
Yes this is SRV. I havethis CD it is a live show at Fitzgeralds in Houston, TX 1983. He played 2 shows that night. It was the TEXAS Flood Album release party. Great show. I got the CD from tradng.Both shows are great.
i can only imagine the visual show ...stevie doing guitar gymnastics...god bless all that are graced bye SRV
Rip Stevie
message from France
We miss you Stevie
this has to be Stevie
OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH MMMMYYYYYY GAAAAAHHHHDDDDD
Epic yet compact at the same time. More a thrill-seeking journey than a jam. Not a single note wasted while SRV takes on a number of different key changes and veers the song into uncharted territory without diminishing the original intent of the song and making them his own. And, most importantly, without going overboard or being overblown with it. Stevie's musical intellect, as well as his acute instincts, were always sharp in avoiding the obvious.
Tho the King's Head version from 1980 (with Jackie Newhouse on bass) is spectacular in its own right, the Fitzgerald's version (personally speaking) puts the former to shame on a number of levels in terms of suspenseful adventurousness and intense, spontaneous risk-taking while responding to the moment.
Wow! That was excellant! 👍❤
Perfect! ❤👍❤😎
Got to catch those tunes, thanks for the info bomb.
This is great it shows the difference between Jimi and Stevie.Their tone and chops are quite different.Stevies tone alway's sound's thicker and more saturated...
played thickest possible strings. I strung my strat with heavy gauge one time and it was like playing barbed wire
Jimi=fuzz
Stevie=tube screamer
no matter which way you cut it SRV WAS ONE OF A KIND... R.I.P L. a
Thanks for posting! Go Stevie Ray!!!!
Stevie was the best and he will always be!!!!!!!!
guitar playing that, when finished, only one question remains in the mind:
what the fuck?
Thanks so much for posting this! My Hendrix jam and now one of my fav SRV!
Whatta fucking king this cat was. Rip srv. This performance is a fuckin jam too. I don't do favorites. I like jimi's version and srv's equally. They both deserve to be resurrected from the dead so they can play some more shows mayne. And I wouldn't mind paying for tht ticket with an arm or a leg (literally) lol
real talk.
Matt Hartman 🎸🔥😎dig it -
Id definitelly sacrifiice a couple of limbs to see this guy play in real life,.No doubt.
Awesome!! The guitar and drum beat go together like cheese and wine. Old School..
I think you are right but it is not a sin to compare them. They both had a physical and God gifted ability to play the guitar. But it is great to hear Jimi's R&B influence and Stevie's Texas influence on the same song. It is a shame Jimi did not live to be able jam with Stevie...cause it would have happened> I guess we have to wait and hope to get a good seat in that big concert up in the sky :)
Both Jimi and Stevie did a great job on this song. Each has their own playing style. Each was taken WAY TOO EARLY in life. I only wish I could have had more music from them both. Both were amazing guitarists.
what if I told you Hendrix and SRV are 2 different guitarist that do not to be compared, both are equal, both are fantastic....
I would accept that.
Robert Noble Music preach it dude.
Both are equal..both are awesome..both share and channel that inner soulful intesity that only comes from above...music is not a competition..!#
By far one of many favorites SRV's Hendrix rendition.
In this day of digital technology, it would be really astonishing to hear an edited version were the greatest asshole of fandom history shouting out at the end of the live set, "TEXAS FLOOD!" be erased for eternity!
I have this CD in fact this guy shouts, "TEXAS FLOOD" all through half of it!
we went to my dads last night listened to jimi radio one heard jimi playing this song me and my dad are wow i hear stevie all thru it or what stevie would later do and i see this video of him doin it my dads gonna freak because both of us said the same thing at the same i wonder if stevie ever did this song thank you for posting this awesome
Some awesome SRV! Thanks for posting.
One of the best guitarist, PERIOD!
GOOOOOOOOSAAAAAAALLLL!
This is exceptional from the master.
Basically man handled all space and time. And all the rest of it. Damn.
awesome tune and one of the best pics of him ever
If Vaughan's not the finest electric guitarist that ever lived, it had better be a damned short list before we get to his name. _That_ was ferocious.
With the exception of Hendrix himself......who could ever play guitar with so much feel and passion??? Unfortunately, we won't see the likes of Hendrix anf SRV again...period.
all these jimi vs. srv comments are pointless. its all subjective. plus they both got albert kings style. man though stevies tone on this is over the top. why cant my mexican strat and peavy amp sound like that. hahaha
I've said for years that the best player is the one YOU like best,but so many of these troglodytes just don't get it.
