    My roommate talked me into paying $14 to see SRV in 1984. We arrived early and stood in the very front. He opened with this and blew me away for the next 34 years.

      I paid $90 to see Prince in about 2003 'musicology' tour. No regrets he brought the friggin house DOWN. Played a medley of his hits. I brought a lefty with me, and FORGOT to burn it. Transfixed. Props to his band they were right with him.

    This may be the best version of "Couldn't Stand the Weather". Reese's piano solo has a really cool jazzy sound to it and Stevie's guitar solo following it is just mind blowing. Thanks for the upload!

    He really was a true guitar master; the absolute control of that fretting hand, muting whatever string/strings he wanted at any time, which allowed him to dig in hard to every strum with his picking hand and get extra sound, the subtle quick switches on the knobs and pickup switch that are constantly happening so the tone and sound would shift and change during each song, and that passion and intensity, never a second of less then 100%. Absolutely the best!! RIP Stevie, as always a true inspiration!

He was actually part of the original group that became the Allman Brothers before being replaced by Gregg Allman. He currently tours with Joe Bonamassa.

      Comin' through this business of life
      There's rarely time if I'm needed to
      Ain't so funny when things ain't feelin' right
      Then daddy's hand helps to see me through
      Sweet as sugar love won't wash away
      Rain or shine, it always here to stay
      All these years you and I've spent together
      All this, we just couldn't stand the weather
      Like a train that stops at every station
      We all deal with trials and tribulations
      Fear hangs the fell
      ow that ties up his years
      Entangled in yellow and cries all his tears
      Changes come before we can go
      Learn to see them before we're too old
      Don't just take me for tryin' to be heavy
      Understand, it's time to get ready for the storm

      @Inthemix3 Рік тому +1

      As an avid Strat player with 40+ yes of band experience, Stevies playing both inspired me and made me want to give up playing at the same time. His ability to just have the guitar become an extension of himself, and pull tones out of the instrument that I've never come close to achieving. And you're right, non players may not have the same understanding of just what a rare talent he was. In 7yrs he introduced so many people to the blues and many longtime blues plates credit him with the revival of their careers. Guitar players ran out to buy the albums of all the blues greats SRV mentioned that influenced him. Tragic the way it ended for him, his loss to blues lovers around the world left holes in all our hearts.

Just flashy clothes and a guy show boating to audiences that couldnt discern a counterfeit from the genuine article.. Go back and educate your self on The Blues..go buy a cheap electric guitar and amp look up on youtube how to play what he played ..then you will understand how Stevie wasnt really that good...Just A pop blues wannabe. That got lucky on some MTV videos LOL. It is tragic and sad that he got killed not disrespecting that.

There’s just something so magical about the way stevie played and it’s a shame no one I show his music to understands that magic. If it wasn’t for stevie my guitar would be collecting dust. Thanks stevie for creating such good music. I guess it wouldn’t have been such a bad thing growing up in the 80s 🙂. RIP stevie I hope to be like you some day

    I'm young enough not to have idea who this guy was, I just clicked the video as I was scrolling through examples to play blues tunes on my guitar... but man! I'm so glad I found it!! I just discovered a hidden gem!

    Dude! that is exactly my story! I had barely even heard of him when my best friend drug me to The Paladium in LA around 1986. We bought tickets from a scalper out front, pushed our way up to the stage and just stood there in awe. He has been and always will be my favorite artist. My family even has intructions to play his music at my funeral, lol. But let's not forget Tommy, Reese and Chris!

    This is the quintessential SRV and Double Trouble performance. It has a little of everything that they stood for. Such badasses.

    This is the song that got me hooked on SRV waaaay back in 85'. Cried my eyes out when I heard on the radio he was gone. RIP STEVIE...we all miss you so much!

    So many people can play great but they miss that one thing that's so hard to get. Soul and the groove. That's Stevie.

    truly there will never be another like him.
    these videos are a testament to his greatness and if you were lucky enough to see him perform in person
    (as I did in 1984 in Hawaii with Jeff Beck!!!) it was truly a transcendent experience.
