I listen multiple times - the first always for Stevie, and then for Chris and Tommy. Chris is so tasteful with perfect time and selection, while Tommy keeps the heartbeat so soulfully and beautifully. They were perfect.
Feeling blessed to live in an era of color video! Golly, I remember watching this live with my aunt. She lived a few houses down from The Vaughans. One of my life greatest moments= meeting SRV, Tommy, Chris & Reese. Just a year before we lost Stevie. Pictures are priceless! Such talent!
a rare combination of absolute technical mastery, a sense of soul that either u got or u don't and a musically appreciative audience a bit like a jazz bar atmoshere
I saw Stevie and B.B. KING at an amphitheater in the Bay area; the Concord Pavillion to be exact. That gifted man made love to his guitar and there wasn't a dry pair of panties in the place! I kid you not.
I saw SRV at the arts and science auditorium in Laramie Wyoming in 85, then again at Fiddlers Green in Denver shortly shortly before he died. He is a legend
This performance by Stevie is just so very, INTENSELY(!!!!!) mellow as to melt this old man's heart! There is no musicianship today that can come close to comparison. I saw/listened to a tribute to Stevie that included Eric Clapton and others. They didn't come close to Stevie, none of them! RIviera Paradise, Lenny, and his rendition of Little Wing are must hear for everybody out there!! They are for me.
Oh my god! I’ve watched this perform before but I didn’t realize it was his 2nd attempt. God I wish I knew what he said to the crowd and what he heard that made him wanna start all over. Sounded perfect to me but Stevie knows what he likes and the sound he’s looking for
Omg amazing!! But that was Stevie ❣ It recently dawned on me that SRV & Double Trouble didnt do Live Aid - wonder why he wasnt asked...the best venue for blasting their perfection out! Maybe Bowie had a hand...just a thought.. A tragic loss and the whole band was so tight they were amazing...great upload...we're lucky to have so many live performances ❣🌼🙏🇬🇧
I just saw another video and the intro was louder. I started watching this video and was wondering why the volume was lower so I think you may be right and he needed it for his harmonics and etc I am sure.
not true. he apparently wrote the song the same day/night he received the guitar. maybe certain sections are floating around sure but the song was totally finalized from what I understand
@@benji6229 I heard that to. I believe that was the guitar Lenny and a few of his other friends chipped in to get for him. Either way, I Like to see musicians working their songs out on stage in front of an audience shows extreme confidence.
There is a version that you can find on UA-cam of him playing Lenny at the Rome Inn in 1979, it’s almost completely different in style. Surely and took some years to get it all in line

That low E is absolutely massive.. man. Amazing performance of this song. I’m so used to seeing the later ones.
56 gauge string tuned to Eb played through the neck pickup. That'll do it
@@technolung58 actually sometimes 60
I can only play the intro,. Such a great job
Think his heart in it wow so great it makes me look up to heaven know there
This song is so Painfully Beautiful...its one of my absolute Favorite Songs💔💔
The slide down the neck and low open E at the end was awesome! Got a laugh out of it haha!
Loved this song ever since I heard it in the film Sixteen Candles, it just tells a story and we the listeners can fill in the narrative
I thanks to god because i heard this version before 2021 ends
And special thanks for this channel bert

If you listen, it sounds like his amps were turned up a little more on the second take, i guess he felt they were too low.
@@TangoDownGaming what LT said. I sure miss that dude.
@@TangoDownGaming I
Love the sound that sounds very different from
A guitar God taken way to soon R.I.P. STEVIE
Sometimes you need to start over new ❤️

The version from live at El Macombo is even more intense I think
He was just soooooo good
I think he told em to turn the amps up
I just saw another video and the intro was louder. I started watching this video and was wondering why the volume was lower so I think you may be right and he needed it for his harmonics and etc I am sure.
Awesome 😎! Thank you
Thank you for this Bert!. I really needed this tonight
Just wow now this is music
Me either.amazing.
Heavy strings turn into al dente spaghetti in this man's hands.
Keep it up
And after this night, a sound man was paid his last check and was looking for another gig to replace this one.
Bruh why did he restarded the song?
Only he knows...
Probably to turn the amps volume up so it sounds better when he turns the guitar volume down for the quieter more dynamic parts.
Sounds like that song was still a work in progress at that time.
Well Texas Flood was released in June of 83, and this ACL performance was sometime in 83 as well. Hard to know exactly.
