I was fortunate to be the recording engineer on this gig. Parked in a Dodge cube van in front of the El Mo. Used two Sound Workshop 1280b mixers feeding an Ampex MM1200 16 track 2" tape machine. It was insanely hot in the club that night. Stevie had received a bad shock at a gig on the previous night, and didn't want it to happen again, so we went down to Jacob's Hardware on Queen St W and bought some black rubber pipe insulators and wrapped them around the mic stand. That's why the stand looks large and dark. The El Mocambo has been closed for over a decade, but a local millionaire, Michael Wekerle bought the building a couple of years ago and has financed a major renovation. It's reopening when the COVID curfew ends, though we are already shooting some performances there next week with no audience for CBC-TV's Canada Day show.
Respect to you bro..... you made a legend even better. This is his best live performance. Little Wing and Texas Flood at this show was legendary. Thank you again. 🙏
Are you in Toronto? Just down the road , across the Great Lake Ontario...and on a clear day...Whatever became of The Gasworks?! We loved that place, circa 1988
I agree 💯 I don't think I've ever seen someone that can perform with so much soul it like he is an instrument himself love everything I've ever seen from him.....
The musicality of the solo is what’s super-impressive. It’s not mindless shredding or wanking for the sake of it. It moves from one rock-solid melodic idea to the next and is executed flawlessly to boot. This man was the best to ever do it.
Perfectly described 🎯👌🏾 Also, something that took me a while to realise - Tommy's bass playing is equally flawless with the same kind of seamless fluidity and story telling. Those two were definitely a match made in guitar heaven! 🎸
I love when you guys that know music and have a way to describe it so that someone like me can understand it so I just wanted to say thank you and you should comment on more videos it really helps us people who are casual music listeners...
The best about SRV is it doesnt matter if its a live recording or a record, it always sounds the same. Never heard of an artist that does that. He hits the notes with precision every time, its magic!!
Stevie was the coolest dude ever! And all without using one cuss word or dirty lyrics like some of todays music..The Cat with the Hat with the Strat💞💞💞💞
Melts me every time I listen every day to get me going there e is nothing like Stevie Ray. The house is rocking in heaven. Love to all SRV fans out there. Rock on girls and boys ❤️😺
Brian axb They were just THAT extraordinarily good! I’m 50 years old and grew up listening to the greats and no one hits me in the gut like SRV does! Just an outright mastery of that beat up strat and a consuming love for music that is infectious!
One of my favourite SRV performances. I love that this just sits in the groove and the way the guitar flirts around the beat. And IMHO this is one of the best solos. Simple(ish) but effective and perfect for the song. :-)
I was just a kid when he did this concert and barely a preteen when he passed,but He sure was a bright burning comet that went out to soon.I am a blues guitarist myself, and he is definitely one of my influences,R.I.P. S.R.V,my blues brother
The SRV setup: Very heavy & high off the frets. .013, .015, .019, .028, .038, .058. Fender Super Reverbs & '63 Vibroverbs in combination extensively. (Around '84, a 150-watt Howard Dumble.) Tuned his guitars ½-step down. Used rewound Strat pickups, Tube Screamer, Fuzz Face, Octavia, Wa, and a Vibratone.
Interesting fact, when he got clean he moved down to .011-.052 because he said without the coke/booze he could feel the pain again. Also, checkout out some of the fun things he did with super glue and baking soda.
SRV "Hug you squeeze you" live @ the El mocambo 1983, Honey, Stevie just told me to tell you get well soon. bless your heart babe I love you sweet pea.
Kia ora from New Zealand. I just wanna say...when the big G.O.D was making guitar players, he made SRV, the MAN. And Road Dogg you are absolutely right, won't be able to stop and my wife can go watch something else.
never will there ever be another to to do what stevie done.... it’s like he WAS the music effortless almost. The word legend is used to much nowadays but he seriously is an example of a legend and not only his music but the world needs more people like him you know be a lot better place ❤️ 🌍 R.I.P SRV 🎸
These small venues from before he got really famous always sound better because they were more raw, less is more and effects usually cloud true talent!!!
LMAO yeah its so easy to emulate his timing and tone. What a load of crap. Yeah may be able to find the notes/chords but emulating his feel and shuffle is extremely hard to do correctly
@@sophiawolthof1238 Thanks for the hearts. Loved STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN and DOUBLE TROUBLE, AND KEYBOARDIST.🤠💜 GREATEST BLUES SINGER EVER AND DOUBLE TROUBLE BAND.
This is the place where you come to understand why his Stratocaster looks the way it does!! That lead solo in this song is a bit unusual sounding for Stevie ... love it like the rest, though! This SM58 vocal mic sounds better than anything I've ever heard him sing into ...
Thank you, Jimmie, for allowing concert vids in addition to music vids, and studio recordings on the channel, and other platforms. You done well managing Little Brother's estate despite the nay sayers calling you out your name. . .or maybe they called you our your name because you have been so very strict and careful. Love and respect you as much as I love Stevie.
Stevie could really cut loose on rhythm guitar chops. He could blend rhythm and lead phrasing together in a very fluid way that was entertaining to listen to .

Holy shit
I listen to this album A LOT. Thanks man!!
Ps: do you know why on the dvd the encore with Rude Mood is missing?
Gonna have to say it, but SRV beats hendrix in my eyes
I agree 💯 I don't think I've ever seen someone that can perform with so much soul it like he is an instrument himself love everything I've ever seen from him.....
It's so clean. The way he plays. Unbelievable.
if i don't listen to SRV my whole life would be gray
" I'll do anyTHANG just to loved by you.." Love it.

@@sg84evaAbsolutely. He had the fortune of being backed up by a killer band as well.🤟
Could not agree more

well said well said
Back when music was authentic
He'll always be relevant! In the annals of music history! Such a loss! His bro is still rockin it!
When pop/rock was authentic maybe. Blues, jazz, folk, ethnic and classical are still pretty authentic.
it was authentic when bull moose jackson did it
You're not looking there's plenty
How the years go by. Miss ya Stevie.
My favorite. This is a hidden gem.
It's flawless.
Absolutely it's mine to now August 4 2023 am from Australia

Agreed
Sometimes the live versions even better imho
Slažem se potpuno, zemljače. Retki su takvi koji mogu da očuvaju vernost studio verziji pri sviranju uživo, a SRV-u svaka čast laka mu zemlja
@ Okram Pej Great comment about STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN it's so true BEST damn blues GUITARIST EVER
Loved your comment, 3 years ago.🤠💥
🤠
Gary Moore too
He really was perfect.
Stevies rhythm playing is amazing.

I love "the cat in the hat with the strat!"
No one can play like SRV.Never forget the legend.thanks for the music
He was so sweet and fine so talented he just made people happy miss you Stevie thanks for all the love you brought our way ♥️♥️♥️
I cant see anyone getting better than SRV and The Double Trouble.
Brian axb They were just THAT extraordinarily good! I’m 50 years old and grew up listening to the greats and no one hits me in the gut like SRV does! Just an outright mastery of that beat up strat and a consuming love for music that is infectious!
Imagine paying just $20 bucks to see this level of fucking awesome! Master class in guitar playing, the band is fantastic too.
Texas blues MASTER!! R.I.P.
Norman Pelley : God, yes!🌹
🤦🏻♀️
SRV is amazing but also big credit to one of my bass heroes Tommy Shannon laying it down on bass!
Gone Coltrane Tommy is a great bassist
Tommy with johnny winterwas incredible
Tommy is awesome....and he had the best gig ever for a bassist. Can you imagine being a few feet away from SRV every night?
Oh yeah
One of my favourite SRV performances. I love that this just sits in the groove and the way the guitar flirts around the beat.
And IMHO this is one of the best solos. Simple(ish) but effective and perfect for the song. :-)
About the only artist that can make you feel happy and sad at the same time.
Damn great blues player, love him, he was supernaturally great.
SRV defo in heaven making all the angels groove
Best bit (maybe of the hole set) for me is @2:28... man I love Stevie Ray Vaughan
Why tf is shit not on Spotify!!
I was just a kid when he did this concert and barely a preteen when he passed,but He sure was a bright burning comet that went out to soon.I am a blues guitarist myself, and he is definitely one of my influences,R.I.P. S.R.V,my blues brother
LOVE IT.....(smoooooch!!!)
Stevie so damn cool. Wouldn't surprise me if people wanted to get up and swing to this one. Legend.🌠
Stevie was the man many years listening to him am I 60 years old going keep on !

naughtmoses learning this song with heavy gauge and the upper fret bends are KILLING ME!!!
I use the same strings.
naughtmoses : My Solution:
Do you know how to get to Carnegie Hall ? ….Practice
Interesting fact, when he got clean he moved down to .011-.052 because he said without the coke/booze he could feel the pain again. Also, checkout out some of the fun things he did with super glue and baking soda.
I miss Stevie dearly! Have all his albums including some bootleg.
RIP SRV.........because we sure don't rest here without you!
This song is great with country style!
Nice solo!
I am Japanese
Stevie Ray Vaughan forever admired
my guitar hero

What a tasty composition all around
The greatest. Thank you #SRV
Touched by the hand of God, literally!
My husband used to love this song! He has passed away - but loved it!
Listen to the original artist of this song the late great John Lee Hooker,back in the 50's. You be surprised.

💙🎸Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble=Marvelous, Superb, Amazing🎸💙Love & Soul💙🎸
I love the Stevie Ray Vaughan station on Pandora. Gotta listen to Stevie everyday!

I'm a true fan of Stevie. His music was way further down the road than a whole lot of others...really incredible!
Stevie Ray was, and is one of the very best ever!!!
He is surly the best guitar player ☝️🇧🇪💙😉😊😊😊💙 3:44

if I don't listen to SRV every couple of days or so I get withdrawls
I know EXACTLY what u mean😎
You can feel the cocaine through the sound and you've become addicted
I think alot of us do.
@@TheMidnightModder That is profound what you said right there!
He is totally addicting..
He's the BOAT.. best of all time!
Me too!
Happy Birthday Stevie
This didn't make it in an album which is a damn shame..
Wolfox on the bright side, we got the live version and with good audio!
❤❤❤
These small venues from before he got really famous always sound better because they were more raw, less is more and effects usually cloud true talent!!!
This was the easiest SRV song for me to learn and play. I reccomend this to beginners. Very easy to do the intro.
😀not the solo tho, u gotta decrypt the solo by ear🎸🎸
LMAO yeah its so easy to emulate his timing and tone. What a load of crap. Yeah may be able to find the notes/chords but emulating his feel and shuffle is extremely hard to do correctly
RIP Stevie never be another #LEGEND
NO ONE CAN PLAY A GUITAR LIKE STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN HE HELD THE TITLE AS AN MASTER OF HIS PLAYING AND SINGING FOREVER💜💛💚🧡❤💙💞

Like he is the song.
i love you so much
So missing you! Still in my mind every day Hun
Rock me 😎
This was always a sweet tune that was mixed into one hell of a live performance. I watched this on VHS until it broke.
Yes !!!
I think that’s a John Lee Hooker song. SRV payed homage to his blues heroes till the end. RIP Stevie.
Superb!!!
Thanks so much!
Best blues guitar and singer what a loss to the world all due to a plane crash love his music
WHADDAGREATSONG!!!!!!!!!!! 😃

I hope someone will upload this on spotify :/
Great 😃👍 song 🥰 love it ❤️
My left headphone was broken, put on some srv somehow both of them worked again
Peruzziiiiii
Why this song isn’t on Spotify?
and it's live
Jens H. This is for you❤
It's hot in that room!
FO MY MADNESS !!.....\/.....
I think he was super high. But finessing that guitar nonetheless
I think he was too. There was just something different in his face. I was wondering if it was just me.
He did alot of coke this night he was actually hella high.
@@linnsterlingcurebeliefinad1725 I just watched this again. He was quite high during this show but his guitar AND his singing was letter perfect!
Stevie could really cut loose on rhythm guitar chops. He could blend rhythm and lead phrasing together in a very fluid way that was entertaining to listen to .
We have now arrived at. Crossroads
😓
stands up to stairway even.
HE AIN'T WAYNE GRETZKY BUT HE'S STILL THE GREAT ONE

yup
Sorry Eric, jimmy,close but no cigar,srv the best ever
