Watching Stevie perform, it always struck me as how casual & effortless his playing appeared. Obviously it wasn't, but he always made it look that way.
I saw him play in the 1980s at the Hartford Civic Center, he was touring with Robert Plant, opening for him in fact, and he blew Plant away. He was so good live... amazing guitarist and performer.
This version was from his 2nd appearance on Austin City Limits after he got clean. I like the version from Live at the El Macombo better. But anything SRV is awesome!
When I look at an electric guitar, especially a knocked about one like that - the sound I imagine coming from it is SRV playing like this. That's what an electric guitar should be doing!
SRV is from my neighborhood (Oak Cliff in Dallas). Met him once at the mall. I had no idea he was this amazing when I met him, I was a kid back then listening to other genres...
*Saw SRV and Double Trouble back in 1985 on the "Soul To Soul" tour. I believe it was at the Meadow Brook Theater at an extension site of Oakland University in the Detroit, MI area. EPIC to say the least.*
Great reaction guys. I grew up listening to Hendrix and he broke new ground with his playing. And like most great contributions the masters make, a rare talent comes along that builds on the the works of the masters to take them to a new level. SRV's version is cleaner sounding to me but still carries the same emotion SRV style.- Hawk
I've watched Tommy Shannon play for years, but this is the first time I've seen him play a jazz bass with a pick, primarily up-picking. Similar to Mike Levine of Triumph. I don't know who did it first, if one influenced the other, or if they were both influenced by an unknown 3td party. This sounded great!
The El Mocambo, 1983 Live Simulcast version of Voodoo Chile, and the '89 cover from Austin City Limits are bookend performances of his career. The ElMo cover was closest to Hendrix than anyone had ever gone, and the '89 ACL was the closest to Stevie than he had ever gone.
Stevie did not have a sister. He only has a brother, Jimmie. You should stop going on all SRV's reactions and posting this lie. You need psychiatric help to be so desperate as to keep posting this lie so you can get some attention.
@@debbiegrubb6235 I was at the tribute to Stevie in Dallas with Jimmy and nobody ever mentioned sisters. I've known Jimmy's daughter since I was a kid.

I also prefer Stevie's version over the original....what a beast Stevie was!

That's front playing hours and hours everyday...the effort was at least half from just continued practice. He was incredible.
The great Mario Lemieux was like that as well.
SRV ~ 🎸🐐 The goatiest goat in all of goatness

SRV Texas Flood live is the pinnacle of guitar playing...full stop. This was recorded at Austin, TX...Austin City Limits show.

Austin City Limits (PBS), October 10, 1989. 🎸
Thanks John!
Gotta hear Texas Flood....LIVE at El Mocamdo! fantastic
We got blocked when we looked at that, but I agree - it's amazing. Maybe we'll find a different version

Man, I wish Jimi was around to see this. No doubt these two would do something amazing together.

SRV. 1987. Nashville. Voodoo Child. You will be blown away.

excellent!
It is a better version and he is the best of all time definitely the best blues guitarist.

impressive performance...epic
Demon right hand! Great video, great reaction.

Austin City Limits 1989
Thanks, guys.. all respect to Jimi, but I think Stevie's version is my fave... (c'mon, the whammy bar!).... appreciate your reaction..
For me SRV is a alpha guitarist. If he was a dog, he would have always is tail high. Is precision it is was impressive me the most. Bravo Daniel

Jimi died in 1970 when SRV was 16. When did Jimi get the chance to say that?
I think she meant Jimmy Vaughan. Not Jimi Hendrix. Not sure, but it seems to fit her previous post.
I thought the same thing. i would have loved for Jimi to see Stevie in his prime.
Austin City Limits, 1989
Jimi said that he thought Stevie Ray was better Guitar Player then he was. He liked Gibbon's from ZZ Top.
How? Stevie was 15 when Jimi died.
SRV plays it cleaner than Jimi. Hat tip to double trouble.
It is a better version than the original. So is SRVs Little Wing from El Macambo.
Little Wing is AMAZING!!!!
Stevie Ray and Jimmy Lee are my Brother's. Cheyenne Marie is my Sister. Stevie took us All over the World. We was thick as 2 bug's onna Bumper. ❤❤❤❤
