yeah I was wondering where this version went, easily the best version of Texas Flood, this was flawless, Stevie Ray Vaughan was an extremely gifted guitarist. I heard someone describe Stevie's way of playing as standing at the bottom of a mountain and walking straight up to the top. I have heard people play with this intensity but he could do it for such a long period that it was incredible.

That’s got to be best piece of guitar playing I’ve ever seen.

Anyone that ever got to see him perform live is insanely lucky imo. Stevie was a phenomenal showman and guitar player. Just a monster player. I was born in the wrong era 🥺😂

Very little, if anything, touches what this guy pours out performance after performance. What a blessing he was here when he was, but what a shame he passed at a far too young an age. On top, he had a heart of gold and conquered demons of drug/alcohol issues. This band, as well as him, needs more recognition. Stevie's guitar playing is vicious and is 100% passion. Unbelievable.

The real deal with SRV, he was no pretty boy fair haired poser rocker, but a man that truly epitomized the blues complete with hard luck back story and broken nose and fucked up looking grill. No guitarist ever poured more of his heart and soul and spirit through his guitar playing on stage. It fucking hurts to bend heavy gauge strings like he did at that extreme level, and that shows on Stevie’s face. SRV played on a way ungodly heavy gauge set of strings on his guitars always. The man paid his dues and could sing the blues like no other! RIP SRV, missed but never forgotten.

This man is wearing his feelings on his face and passing them on through his guitar. A real force of nature. Magnificent.
