I thought I'd heard and seen all of Stevie's interviews. This is new to me and what a treat. Never tire of seeing his interviews. There will never be another Stevie Ray Vaughan! Love this man and this band!
Its so great to see Stevie clean and sober. He went through the mill with all that stuff and here he was in such great shape. I Miss You Brother....R.I.P
At 5:34, Stevie's praise for Jimmy is so awesome. Such respect he had and so much humility. It's unreal how he was that good, but still so polite and humble. A hero's hero.
I taped this interview on VHS when it originally aired. I was at this concert. I saw Stevie Ray in "87, '88, and this '89 concert. A few months later he was gone. The interview was aired again at that time. We all were torn with grief. Mike introduced the interview wearing sunglasses so we wouldn't see tears. Thanks for the interview. We still treasure it today. Love and miss you Stevie.
YOU ARE STILL DEEPLY MISSED, STEVIE!! IT'S BEEN TOO LONG!! YOU GUYS WERE ALWAYS AMAZING, BUT YOU WERE ALSO SUCH A GREAT SOBRIETY SUCCESS STORY!! ME TOO!.....BUT KEEP WATCH, OK?? SOUL💞SOUL, ALWAYS!💗😘 Thank You For Posting, Mike Pachelli!
Sensational..Listening to a legend is Cool..Stevie Ray Vaughan and the band...Stevie is the greatest Guitar player ever to be found..blue's and rock n roll is sensational and Stevie singing is great....nice interview.
What a treat! Had never heard/seen this one before. Thanks so much for sharing this Mike! Love Stevie and DT forever! He was clean, sober, and happy here! I never tire of hearing Stevie and the guys talk.
Thank you for this video! I just now stumbled upon it. I am 61 years old and of course was and still am blown away by SVR and Double Trouble. Just a few days ago I played some SRV in remembrance of his untimely passing. It brought back so much. Especially Life Without You. Being older now and having lost my husband to addiction, I could understand everything Stevie was trying to convey. How much he hurt inside and how much a helping hand meant. Through one show when he spoke his heart about lifting people up when down he was high as hell. That does not mean he wasn't still hurting. I saw another performance of this when he cleaned up and believe he still meant every word. Having an addict that I loved I took on Stevie's pain 29 YEARS later. I wish people would understand addiction. I am thankful my promoter husband was truthful about the pain that lead him to substance abuse at age 11. We both loved Stevie. I learned a lot from Paul ( husband). Through it all he was truthful about not being able to live life on lifes terms. He did clean up a few times. I don't even know why I felt the need to write this. I just did. I woke up to tears as I took on the pain. I wanted to say thank you again for this comfortable and well conducted interview. All looked cool, relaxed and happy to be there. I am sure you will remember this always. Thank you!
Hey guys, you have no idea how much you meant to me during those days, God Bless all of you and thank you for the blues infused life that I've had! Chris's, Tommy, and Reese keep on dudes! Thank you so much anday God bless you!!!!!
Man I miss him a lot! and can't help but wonder just how much more music he would've made and how much more bigger the blues scene would be. just look at what all he did up until then! and of course is the only person I know that truly got sober and went back playing and living better then ever! just shows it is possible, if you really love something and want something bad enough. RIP legend.
Mike, What a great old interview! Thanks alot for send me the link. I enjoyed it as much as any interview I have ever seen. Really great job! Just makes you wonder how great Stevie would have been now. Not sure he could have been any better though. He is sorely missed. Excellent job, brother! Thanks again for sharing it and I will pass it on to others who will enjoy it, as well. DGT
Thanks for posting this interview, Mike. Great stuff! Miss SRV every day since his passing. It's awesome that we can enjoy both his brilliant music and infinitely humble musing of music and life.
Wonderful interview of Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble..its nice when they all feel comfortable..everyone seems so humble..Good to just hear chitchat..
Great interview Mike! Just saw this for the first time and your professionalism with SRV and Double Trouble was evident through the relaxed and poignant questions asked. Really enjoyed watching this one.
Great interview! one thing that struck me is when Tommy shannon said theres no good memories whatsoever of his period with Johnny Winter. i wonder why.... thank you for your brilhant Beatles songs explanations, ive been playing Dr Robert wrong for 20 years untill i saw your video, cheers!
This was just great, Mike! Thanks for putting it up. They were really relaxed and enjoying themselves with you. I just have to believe it was a great show that night. I loved the ending too.
Hey Mike! I had no idea you interviewed SRV back in the day! You Rock! Thanks for your love of guitar and music! You're an incredibly hip dude! Much love from Modesto, CA!
Pablo Pérez - Stevie's guitar was difficult to play. He had switched to lighter strings at the time (he used to use 13's - he had 12's on) but the action was much higher than I would want. He was tuned to Eb so that helped a little. The most interesting thing was that playing thru his rig - my tone sounding nothing like SRV's. I experienced the same thing playing Eric Johnson's gear. Proof that MOST tone comes from one's hands!
I'd like to see some different shoes on the band ..surely these are not the go back tStev8e Ray Vaughan is legend and a genius in the guitar strings..I miss Stevie..never forgotten.RIP Stevie..Stevie was a treat to get on a stage and give us phenomenal music
This was a fantastic interview, Mike!! I've been a SRV fan since about 1987. What makes this interview so special is that all their personalities shine!..yours included Mike! I felt like I was hanging out with them in someone's living room chillin'! Thanks so much for this.
Mike I watched you in the late 80's living in South Lakeland as a teenager , I really miss those days. I still live here. but things sure have changed hard to believe its been almost 30 years. You are so lucky to have met and played with so many great musicians especially Stevie Ray Vaughan. I always wondered how you got that Job at V 32 and what it was like working there.
Seen SRV at mohawk park/tulsa in 1985,, walked right up to the front of the stage and watched the whole show ,, what a memory and fantastic show,, huey lewis was on the same bill and they were great too!
Wow, how amazing is this?! This must be the memory of a lifetime ha Mike? Stevie sounded so great here. I still shed a tear every now and then missing him and wondering what he had left in the tank.. Oh well, life goes on right? Any audio of that sound check floating around? I bet that was a thrill, and with ALL due respect I bet it sounded different that when SRV played it..So much comes from the fingers..Thanks for sharing this and best of luck in France!
Mr Pachelli, I stumbled across your channel recently and I absolutely love your Beatles lessons and the hard work and dedication you put into them. But I am even more impressed by this video. SRV has always been my all time fav blues player and one of my fav guitarist. And for you to sit down and talk so candidly with Stevie and the band must of been so cool. Jeff Beck and SRV on the same bill must have been a show for the ages. I will keep following your videos maybe a little treasure like this one will show up on my feed again. Peace.
Awesome. Two of my favorite guitarist on the same day. I saw Jeff beck in 2000 as a teenager but sadly never got to see Stevie. Passed when I was 9 yrs old. Beck was always a technical wizard and SRV was an unstoppable blues force of nature. Their music has always given me a lot of joy and inspiration.
Oh wow, it was not long after when he passed. I nissed that show, I think they were at the barn and I had seen them in a theater not long before, I just hated the sound of the sun dome. I caught up with Reese at the hotel and had a little chat, he was a nice dude. You were there witnessing history.
Wow, Mike Pachelli, that's a name I hadn't heard in over 30 years. I remember the show well. The funny thing about Tommy Shannon, he actually did have a little Shannon running around which he didn't find out about until years later.
I miss Stevie. I was looking for T-Shirts in a Boutique a few days b4 Christmas. They had BOB M. NIRVANA, DRAGONBALLZ, MARVEL. I said aloud, "Where's some STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN?!" A man, standing beside me, looked to be in his late 50's? He relayed to me: "Who in the world is that?!" I just stood there, eyes Blinking..a LOT! I left after that. They didn't have anything worth a crap in that store. 🤦😳
JoshW Music - Well, I actually AM "an older guy who teaches guitar on UA-cam!" But I'm also this: ua-cam.com/video/yYOXwGHSz4E/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/IajaJfmbhps/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/fQFs0mT9sRk/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/GjoxWyyfgn4/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/3zRCNQzsMQI/v-deo.html
If memory serves me right he had two Fender Super Reverbs and a Dumble Steel String Singer. He used very few pedals. A tube screamer, fuzz face and Vox wah pedal. What I do remember is that at sound check, I played his guitar thru his rig and I sounded NOTHING like him! Proving that your tone comes from your hands!!
What do you mean, Mike?---tell us tell us! Any kind of anecdote si so welcome! Do you mean that the strings were tough, or what...? I have always thought that his guitar would be so mellow...@@MPfrance
I think it’s BS we can’t find one video or decent recording of the Alpine Valley show right be fore he died. I know it has to be video’s and good recordings. I’m sure it has something to do with money somehow. Any ideas I’d love to hear it. I’ve been searching for a long time with not one result. Shameful really. It’s interesting that his last song was “Sweet Home Chicago“ and he died otw to Chicago.

Thanks so much for sharing! Never seen this one before. Stevie´s in his prime here, clean and sober and all his amiable self - love it
Funny how much you can miss someone you never met. Love SRV we lost him way too soon.
Thanks for posting this interview, Mike. Great stuff! Miss SRV every day since his passing. It's awesome that we can enjoy both his brilliant music and infinitely humble musing of music and life.
thank's mike,he treated everyone like he wante'd to be treated!live that way and you'll go far
Best SRV interview I've seen - well done. I bet it was a lifetime thrill for you as a fellow guitar player!
YES -it was very cool. SRV was on tour with Jeff Beck. I got to play his rig on stage at soundcheck!! SUCH fun!!
wow :) !!! must have been a pleasure!
Wonderful interview of Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble..its nice when they all feel comfortable..everyone seems so humble..Good to just hear chitchat..
Mike, you are truly a renaissance man.. Very nice.. You got to interview one of the best of all time and love the ending..
Great interview Mike! Just saw this for the first time and your professionalism with SRV and Double Trouble was evident through the relaxed and poignant questions asked. Really enjoyed watching this one.
Great interview! one thing that struck me is when Tommy shannon said theres no good memories whatsoever of his period with Johnny Winter. i wonder why.... thank you for your brilhant Beatles songs explanations, ive been playing Dr Robert wrong for 20 years untill i saw your video, cheers!
Maybe he just couldn't remember the good times. Drugs and alcohol do that!
This was just great, Mike! Thanks for putting it up. They were really relaxed and enjoying themselves with you. I just have to believe it was a great show that night. I loved the ending too.
This is really a good interview you know the music so it's insightful
Thank you for posting this~~ enjoyed very much..
+Myanna SRVfan - You are most welcome! Glad you enjoyed it.
fantastic way of working the interview out, Mike! A pleasure to be heard
Hey Mike! I had no idea you interviewed SRV back in the day! You Rock! Thanks for your love of guitar and music! You're an incredibly hip dude! Much love from Modesto, CA!
Thanks JJ And I got to play his rig at soundcheck. I sounded NOTHING like him which proves most tone comes from your hands!
Well, that settles the question, doesn't it!? lol! @@MPfrance
@@MPfrance can you tell something on How his guitar felt? I mean, "touch And tact"...was It mellow or hard, or confortable...you were so Lucky!!!!
Pablo Pérez - Stevie's guitar was difficult to play. He had switched to lighter strings at the time (he used to use 13's - he had 12's on) but the action was much higher than I would want.

@@MPfrance ok.
I understand you, but at the same time, It is hard for me to figure out how the tone can changed...🎸
I'd like to see some different shoes on the band ..surely these are not the go back tStev8e Ray Vaughan is legend and a genius in the guitar strings..I miss Stevie..never forgotten.RIP Stevie..Stevie was a treat to get on a stage and give us phenomenal music
So cool you got to interview Double Trouble. I saw this tour in Pittsburgh and it was fantastic.
Love to see the great days of the show!! keep workin those forearm muscles Mike !! tc

Great interview Mike!!!
Best part was the end when Stevie said, "You're watching the Mike Pachelli show". How cool is that to watch back now?
God bless stevie..
Mike - Thank You for posting this !
SRV influences are: Freddie King, BB King, Albert King, Jimmy Vaughn, Lonnie Mack, John Lee Hooker, Buddy Guy, Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix.
Otis rush
Don't you ever forget Jimmy Smith! Hammond pioneer and massive influence on Stevie and his brother!
We should add Johnny winter
Great 2 see you Mike 😘
Awesome 👏
Great Stuff
I lived in Tampa from 1988-89 and enjoyed your show on WMTV. The videos and guest "co-hosts" (i.e. strippers) were fun to watch.
Wow, Mike Pachelli, that's a name I hadn't heard in over 30 years. I remember the show well. The funny thing about Tommy Shannon, he actually did have a little Shannon running around which he didn't find out about until years later.
Living room recordings
That's great!!! 2:40
I miss Stevie. I was looking for T-Shirts in a Boutique a few days b4 Christmas. They had BOB M. NIRVANA, DRAGONBALLZ, MARVEL. I said aloud, "Where's some STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN?!"

what was his rig and guitar like?
If memory serves me right he had two Fender Super Reverbs and a Dumble Steel String Singer. He used very few pedals. A tube screamer, fuzz face and Vox wah pedal.
