Apart from Stevie Ray Vaughan dying far too early, the saddest thing is the fact not enough people in this world have even heard of him or watched his performances. Just over a million views is appalling when you consider some of the absolute crap that gets a billion views. I am pleased to be one of the million+ that can appreciates an absolute genius performing.

I think a lot of people overlook the fact that Stevie was just 29 years old here. To be able to have total control over the guitar and the amount of emotion, feeling and raw power that he was able to command through his instrument was absolutely astonishing at just 29 years of age. He played like he had 70 years of life experiences under his belt. Just incredible. Today we have a lot of sound a likes, a few copy cats but there will only ever be one Stevie Ray Vaughan. He left this world way too soon.

@Paul Odenfield I think you’re right. Just like you said, he would have brought out something completely new and unheard of had he lived longer. He had already taken the blues to another level and was showing no signs of slowing down when he passed. There’s been lot’s of great guitarists over the years but Stevie was special. Have you ever seen a shooting star? You’re lucky if you have because you have be in the right place at the right time and just so happen to be looking at the sky at exactly the right moment to see one. They shoot across the night sky with incredible speed and in a split second they’re gone. Leaving you feeling excited, a little in awe and glad that you were lucky enough to witness it. There’s a lot of phenomenal guitarists out there today who are stars. But Stevie was a shooting star. Those that got to see him play in person were very lucky. They were in the right place at just the right time in history to witness his talent and see a true master at work. Leaving them feeling excited and like they had just witnessed something special. But just like the shooting star… in a flash he was gone. RIP Stevie Ray Vaughan and thank you for lighting up our lives even if it was just for a short time.

He died at 35. If Malmsteen died after his first album people would be saying the same thing about him. Yet, Yngwie has been a one-trick pony for his entire career. Not to take anything away from Stevie but people usually make their contributions on guitar at a fairly young age. At his death he was still limited to Blues playing. By 35 Eddie Van Halen managed to sound different on every new album and expand his guitar technique. For example, his vibrato bar technique on 5150 is on another level and unlike anything he'd done prior.

As the horse raced through his veins and the sweat poured off of him like rain off of a umbrella SRV took us into another dimension of blues. Nothing is as raw and hard core as live SRV. RIP

Born and raised Texan! All I can say is TEXAN PROUD!!! Always and FOREVER!!!

Stevie Ray is best ever guitar player. Saw him in person every Saturday night at 5050 Broadway, San Antonio TX for quite sometime. Saw him in other venues. I feel privileged that I was that fortunate.

When Stevie died I was just a kid and even then I could notice that he was a genious. Now as an adult I realize that she was THE BEST.

His guitar sounds so especially good at this show.

I'm into prog metal and I still love Stevie Ray Vaughan - his inimitable blues style - I love the almost haphazard playing which is still so very clean and passionate and soulful. I love his rendition of 'Lenny' off this same El Mocambo recording.

The god of playing

Stevie Ray. Enough said.

I had the luck to see him live in september 1986 in Ludwigshafen/ Germany. I remember that I was shocked how he was playing guitar. I have him never seen and heard before. I did not know him and his music. The only reason I was at this konzert was that a friend of mine had a ticket left and asked me if I wanna come with him. I said why not, maybe I like it.This was a great dicision. Since this time the music of Stevie has influenced me. Stevie is my all time favorite.

His rhythm work is unmatched.

I drove thru Austin, my only time ever in TX, in 1972, I wish I'd met him then. I had already written several blues tunes. We would have hit it off great. I went off to CA to join a rural yogi community.

This is one badass dude

This has got to be his best performance of this song….this is amazing

I will forever remember the day he passed away I still cry when I think about it

The coolest thing, the greatest moment in rock music history, IMO, is when he comes out of the solo and just begins stomping on the shuffle in E - that is SO cool! When the groove is so undeniable, you can't help it! He just HAD to ride out back to the verse....the coolest thing that I've ever seen. I've seen dozens of live versions of "Pride And Joy" and never have I seen him do this...so cool.
