This is the kind of performance that makes all other guitar players shake their head in disbelief. Unreal.

I still remember how i got into blues music. It was about 17 years ago, i was around 15 and was already playing guitar and was into classic rock and Hendrix etc. I still remember the moment i stumbled upon Stevie playing pride and joy on KZread. It really opened a door in my brain. I immediately thought "oh my god, wtf is that" and was immediately hooked for life. Don't remember this happening to me with any other artist, most things i like grew on me. SRV was more like an explosion😅

Because he forgot the way he played in the original record..don't be too amazed with guitarists who never play the same way twice; it's easier to improvise than to nail every note in the original recording..kudos to those you tube guitarists who can nail every note on the original record 😊😊😊

A true legend honoring a true legend. Some may play faster but nobody plays better. Talent trumps speed

First of all....Stevie was an absolute monster! He would have made the devil cry at the crossroads and just about anyone else for that matter. I just watched Jimi live in '69 and to be honest ( and I love Jimi ) it wasn't even in the same league for guitar playing. Yes, I know Jimi wrote it and all of the usual " Jimi was the original and Stevie copied him" " Jimi changed guitar" I agree with a lot of that BUT Stevie was cleaner, faster, harder and just a better player. Now all of this is of course just my opinion and like the saying goes "opinions are like assh*les....everyone has got one!"

The Stockholm '69 show (I assume you mean that show) is just about the worst Hendrix recording available. All the others get taken down yet that one stays up. Hendrix was burnt out, pissed, and Noel Redding was deliberately playing obtuse and loud to fuck him over because they were at each other's throats at the time. If you want a true gauge of Hendrix in his prime, you have to go to Band of Gypsies at the Fillmore East (some footage exists, maybe not on KZread), Atlanta Pop 1970, Berkeley, Newport 69, Woodstock (though his band is not very tight). The Stockholm show gives such a terrible impression of Jimi. Once you see the footage of Jimi performing Machine Gun at the Fillmore Eat you will understand why people rate him so highly.

So many years have passed....so much time. I still can't watch or listen without getting upset. When Stevie died, a piece of my soul left my body and it's never returned. I remember so clearly my little son coming in our bedroom saying he'd seen on TV that there'd been a helicopter crash and that Stevie was gone. I bawled my head off for about a week. It sucks when your heros are there one minute, and gone the next. My idea of heaven is getting to see and hear him once again. I hope he's waiting for me.

Stevie's playing is more exciting and appealing than any guitarist i've ever heard. I dont know if the key to the puzzle is how passionate he was, or just overall skill from the ungodly amount of time played, but Stevie had something that not many people, if not any, have ever had.

Yes this man can give you goosebumps and feel enthralled every time you listen or watch... Also we feel like we are transported into the audience. We'll done SRV...THE Bluesman 🚀 🙌 🔥 🎸 🎛️ 🎵 🎶

Man...@ 1:56, Heads role, flood gates are opened, dams break, and epic ness ensues...Jimmy must have been smiling up in heaven watching this, must have been at the gates to welcome his musical brother Stevie when he ascended to the the clouds not long after. Seen this performance a few times before, still brings a tear to my eye watching the legend that is Stevie Ray!

Does epic talent always prompt you to write such drivel? You must be a laugh a minute......

Just mindblowing. He is so NOT phoning it in! Every fuckin note is played with conviction.

What people fail to realize is that SRV could play the same song 10+ different damn ways. So yea, he deserves to be at the top

Their are only two words one needs to say when watching the unreal SRV play....HOLY S***!!!

for those of you are seeing this for the first time ,find the entire show . the other band mates said stevie was on fire that night and as guitar player i use to watch it before a show and either he would enspire me or make me wanna stop playing guitar depending on my mood

Hendrix opened the door, Stevie ripped it off the hinges and took a flamethrower to it. Notice how he never misses notes, to him playing was like breathing. He never overplays notes, he always lets the song breathe.

He's not just playing the song, he became the song... his stamina and concentration yet also free as a bird while he demonstrates unique performance in a poetic way. All those notes played, yet not one out of place move. Can't help but think how it would be... alas his time to leave had come and left us this magnificent piece of art and together with all other masterpieces. Thank you for the music which is really food for our souls. Thank you SRV & Double Trouble, thank you Jimmy.

Ugur Akdag Not only that he's also doing the singing any body that sings and plays will tell you it takes a lot of practice to get the singing and the playing together its like the singing goes somewhere and the guitar playing goes another its hard to get the hang of it But Stievie is making it look real real easy Live when in fact its a lot harder than it looks That is why hes top 10 rolling stone magazine

The way Hendrix made All Along the Watchtower his own, Stevie did that to Voodoo Child.

People credit his intensity to cocaine as well but don’t realize how much he improved after becoming sober. It’s crazy to me how he was already so absolutely fantastic yet got noticeably better after becoming sober

SRV ❤

I love Jimi hendrix and he is my biggest influence but this guy is a force of nature he undoublty vibed at a different frecuency than the rest of humanity. This Is the Michael Jordan of Guitar. The Real G.O.A.T This video is why I picked up guitar in the first place. Its still as magical as the first time I ever saw it! Thankyou so much for your music.

I absolutely love SRV. Saw him the first time at Veterans Park Amphitheater in Shreveport, Louisiana in 1983 back when he was getting big after the David Bowie publicity. Saw him 4 times after that including his last performance at Alpine Valley in Wisconsin. I will never forget that day. There was something in the air that day that was palpable. The birds were even acting weird, flocking in circles. He laid it down so hard that night. Hearing the news his helicopter crashed while driving back to the Twin Cities was one of the saddest days in my life. Long live SRV!

@Thomas_ - I doubt he never tapped, surely after seeing Van Halen come onto the scene he tried it out. But you're right, this is called legato. Similar though

that bended A on the g at 0:44 gives me chills every time

This is what we mean when we talk putting that feel on the guitar, Stievie Ray Vaughn was not a technical guitarist, Let's be real Steve Vai knows every thing on the fretboard, but this is why Stievie Ray Vaughn was Steavie Ray Vaughn,,with what he knew on guitar, he would make you feel it goosebumps on arms hair standing up from arms shivers up and down spine, jumping, moving to the beat,claping,screaming,folks I've heard technical guitarists that knoe the fretboard from top to bottom, and yet you feel nothing at all R.I.P. Stavie

Nearly 20 plus years, and I return to this performance night after night. The timing, the sheer brilliance, the voice, ... the passion in this performance .......... makes my night! I was a teenager in 1970, I'm sure Jimi would have been proud. I hope so.

Everytime I watch this cover I remember why SRV was the man! Thank you Stevie
