Hey Beck's great, everybody should know it, hell HE KNOWS IT, but man Stevie Didn't fuck around. At around 1:24, those big licks, that's like taking a hammer and pounding piano wire. How many bluesslingers even have the nerve to play with Beck?
My god they are great! By the way can anyone sus out by ear the lick stevie uses alot in this song? I'm talking about the one at about 0:34, cant really get it to sound like that. Maybe it's just the attack from Stevie that makes the lick cry so great, and not just hitting the right notes!
I had the privelige to see my favorite guitar player Stevie Ray, and Jeff Beck, tour together shortly before he died..He was going to be the best ever. HUGE sad loss.
stupid white boys always trying to create drama and divisions instead of just appreciating great artist.How fucking sick and sad you stupid mindless turds,keep showing yourself to be.
STEVIE + JEFF = Major Fuckin' SYNERGY!!! The two together exploded into ONE MAJOR FORCE to be reckoned with!!! This clip is evidence that two guitar heroes are better than ONE!!! I doubt I'll ever hear two monsters tradin' off this good again!!!
As if they're competing. Jeezuss. I saw this tour. Mere months before Stevie died. They were both amazing and generous and clearly each man was a huge fan of the other. They traded off headlining on alternate nights - and came on together for the last four numbers - nothing but mutual respect and admiration.
im seeing double 2 guitar gods on stage at the same time but i think srvs best suited to blues but he had the skill to play most guitar styles and jeff beck is one of the last guitar legends alive along with clapton page blackmore and brian may also i wont forget gilmour hes great as well anyway imagine having to follow srv and jeff beck on stage i mean how can you follow their act id disapear out of the building ha ha
well...here stevie becomes a rocker...not a blues-roker!!!( voice and guitar).very interesant.we can see the open mind of great srv.yeahhh. keep rockin' sweet stevie!!!thank you so very muuuch!!
Here's two great rock musicians surfing on a great rock song. Both come from very different backgrounds, and yet 'fuse' and make for a splendid gig, giving the crowd all the clichés and lead-guitar moves from the book. They're having fun just as I do watching them. And they do it in a very gentlemanly manner at that (they're not stepping over each other's performance, as men of taste do- watch Beck stay behind enjoying the ride). You wanna see more to it than that, then you're not listening.
Too bad some knuckleheads feel compelled to compare two great guitar players. Why not just appreciate that they are great and have unique styles? Comparisons are subjective and a waste of hot air or the keyboard equivalent thereof. RIP Stevie, keep on rockin' Mr. Beck.
Rolling stone's list of greatest guitarists is all about INFLUENCE. It has nothing to do with actual technical skill, soul, or how good the music sounds. It's all about which guitarist caused the most change. Not which one ACTUALLY is the better player. Otherwise, why is B.B king ranked in the top 10?
Stevie is the greatst player of all time there is really no contest. He can play Hendrix better then Hendrix. He was to much of a gentleman though, when he played with people he looked up to live, he would not upstage them.
WOW Stevie Ray!!! Has so much natural soul, ah force of nature effortless!! He's #1 no matter what Rolling Stone lists says no one comes close!!!! Stevie Ray has more talent n his pinky then Beck n Clapton have put together!!!!
TO ALL STEVIE FANS WHO ARE MARKING AS SPAM POSTS BY JEFF'S FAN'S: GROW UP. THERE'S ONLY ONE OF THE TWO WHO'S IN THE R&R HALL OF FAME (NOT ONCE, BUT TWICE), OUTRANKS THE OTHER CONSISTENTLY IN GREATEST GUITARIST LISTS (FORGET ROLLING STONE'S 2003 LIST, SINCE THE 2011 LIST IS OUT), WAS JUST NAMED A LIVING LEGEND BY A PRESTIGIOUS MUSIC ORGANIZATION, AND HAS A TECHNIQUE AND MASTERY OF THE GUITAR THAT THE OTHER COULD ONLY DREAM OF HAVING (SEE LIVE AT RONNIE SCOTT'S DVD) - THAT'S JEFF BECK
NOTE TO ALL STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN FANS: DESPITE WHAT YOU MIGHT IMAGINE ABOUT STEVIE, JEFF BECK IS THE WORLD'S GREATEST GUITARIST. SEE ROLLING STONE'S JUST RELEASED LIST OF 100 GREATEST GUITARISTS (JB 5, SRV 12) or DIGITALDREAMDOOR'S LIST (JEFF 2) OR GIBSON'S LIST (JEFF 6, SRV 12). ALSO, SRV IS NOT IN ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME, JEFF IS IN TWICE (AS A YARDBIRD MEMBER AND INDIVIDUALLY).
@fanofgreatguitarists Stop shouting like an idiot. On the previous list Jeff was 12 or14 and Stevie 7. In the meantime neither did Beck get better nor Stevie got worse (he was dead before any of those lists came out). So calm down and use what's left of your brains: this list is retarded, lacks logic and serves only to raise the sales of a worthless lifestyle magazine. As for the RRHF–man, it has Madonna and a flock of rappers in it; now it’s a shame to be induced at all save two times
Great track - great combo - great artists BUT just this week, I read where Rolling Stone magazine rated the top 10 guitarists ever and SRV did not make the list. WTF? The man was and still is a legend!!!
@MRCLINTFLICK He was 7th in the 2003 edition. And in the most recent one he's 12th. 12th is better than nothing. It would have been nice to see him in the top 10. But it really doesn't matter cause we really know just how good he is!!
@csi2448 Yeah man, WE know how fucking good he is - but obviously the judges don't have a clue. If he was 7th in 2003, how can he be demoted 5 places when none of the others have done a thing in that time to oust him from the top 10. It don't make sense.
Pete Townshend for fuck sake, that strumming one-string hack made the list and how can Keith Richards be regarded better than SRV or even Ritchie Blackmore and Tony Iommi. It is a joke of a list that I don't rate at all. Keep rockin' man!
@MRCLINTFLICK Innovation...nuff' said. Those guys helped pioneer music and the electric guitar. But let's not worry about petty shit like a 'who's the best guitarist list'. They don't mean jack squat. Stevie is THE man, and no list will tell me and any of his fans differently!
@csi2448 Better nothing than 12th. The "nothing" would have proved beyond reasonable doubt the total failure and complete retardedness of any such "list"
@Jesrama1 I'm just humble about the whole thing haha. I know any "list" is a total crock of bull but they exist for people to go completely crazy over so they can justify to themselves that their favorite guitarist is "better" than someone else's.
For example we have 'fanofgreatguitarists' with his whole CAPS LOCK rant below us about JB being the best guitarist ever...to each there own I guess
I don't know why all of you ass-clowns keep saying SRV is so much better than Jeff based on this one video! It is very clear that Jeff is letting Stevie take the lead on this song! SRV does blues better than Beck...but Beck is FAR more original and creative than Stevie ever was. Stevie spent most of his time trying to sound like all of his blues heros.....there's nothing wrong with that....but it's NOT original. SRV was one of the greatest....but Beck is a pioneer!
Very well said. Also, for great original blues, you've probably seen Jeff perform Brush with the Blues in his Ronnie Scott's DVD, as well as his tremendous playing in Little Brown Bird and You Need Love with Clapton in the same DVD. For Beck's detractors, I recommend they watch this DVD (or better yet, see him in concert).
what i cant believe is mtv was this fucking hot!!!! now we have italian midgets with big fake tits and walmart makeup fighting. something is wrong with our society. truly there is.
@megajames3000 I know. What the fuck happened to MTV. It pisses me off actually. They need to stop calling themselves Music Television and change to something else.
I remember when I graduated high school in '93 and everything on MTV was good videos more or less. The hairbands were gone and Nirvana AMONGST others were making great music and Mtv was playing it all. All of the great guitarists were on there at that time.
To Jesrama1: Yes, of course, makes sense. Perhaps I should have differentiated between "Best" or "Better" with "Legend". There is no doubt those at the top-"Cream of the Crop" or Legends if you will, will always have their fan base. I'm just sayin' why not just leave it at that? I think it was Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones that said "Rock and Roll was not something created to be analyzed, but enjoyed"-or some such comment.
Why can't we all just mature and cut the crap about "this one was/is better than that one". They are/were "best" in what they did. All borrowed from someone before them. Different generations will have their "favorite"(s). Praise and give them all their due and just move on and stay tuned for the next "Great" one is all I'm sayin'.
@johnnysalvny Theoretically very wise comment. The thing is that some of those guys are more than just "the next Great" and it is not easy to simply move to the next one
I saw SRV play maybe twenty-five years ago and the thing I remember was the strings he used to play. Now most famous guitarists use heavy-gauge strings because they sound better and stay in tune longer, but I NEVER saw strings like that before! They looked more like electric cables than they did strings! I think of the hand strength SRV had to have to play guitar every night for hours with those strings. Simply amazing!
Jeff Beck is amazing live in concert, saw him twice and the second time i saw Robert Plant AND Jeff Beck in the same day, also second time i saw Robert Plant, talk about luck.
JESUS MARY AND JOSEPH! Is there an mp3 of this anywhere or will i have to carry my laptop around for the rest of my life? God Stevie we miss you bro and Beck, that took balls man you looked a little in awe once or twice.
I was lucky enough to see JB and SRV live back in the day, I can assure everyone that there wasn't a struck match between them. Saw Beck recently, and he's just so on today, has touch, feel and tone to die for. But really, Shawn Lane was in another realm, no one could touch him, not even Jimi, and I'm a huge fan of all of 'em.
@jarkanciofan MUST have been way back when I was in high school (80's), when they actually played music videos instead of all this "reality" SHIT on every other damned channel. I'd haved given BOTH my nuts to have seen that concert - hey, I'm married afterall. Who needs them? :)
Maybe the fact that he's mastered all genres of music and is one of the greatest players out there, while doing all of this by playing with his fingers. Don't judge his playing by this video, i used to think he wasn't so great until I actually saw him in concert.
@44eelz he doesn't sound great here. he's laying back and letting stevie blow. or maybe even he is just a bit just overpowered by stevie!!! damn he sounds great here,. but check out Becks's more recent shows at ronnie scotts. '07' 09 on youtube. great sound quality too. i think you might see what is so great about him.
@markmarktarmann Beck plays an axe. Stevie plays a chainsaw! Stevie used big fat strings and attacked them like a saw. Beck can play anything, anytime with anybody, but only Stevie can play like Stevie!
what i still can't believe is that it's been 21 years stevie's been gone now, and there's nobody---zip-- who's been as good since. joe bonamassa approaches, but no quantum leap as it was with srv. god bless, old friend. you are missed....
@77gitrzan hey you should check out Henry Garcia from a band called Los Lonely Boys....they have a song called Cottonfields and Crossroads. The Guy is very VERY SRV-ish when he plays...so in my opinion its DEFINITLY worth a look at. ...also check out their acoustic stuff too. they have pretty good harmonies.
@77gitrzan Your right but its been less than ten years since frank zappa died and its been 40 years since JIMI HENDRIX died and no ones been better since...including SRV
@Jesrama1 Well obviously you have an opinion that puts SVR above jimi and frank. So what is your "criterion/standard" for a good guitar player. im pretty sure you over looked just how good jimi and frank zappa were. i mean you couldnt even have SVR without there innovation towards the instrument
@RandomActionAlliance Kenny Wayne Shepherd plays is though SRV was the one and ONLY guitar player he'd heard in his life. Far from Stevie’s hypnotic charisma but all in all rather enjoyable
@77gitrzan I saw him at the kalamazoo county fair 2 days before he died. I will never forget it.. lots of love Steveie RIP.. Beck just gets better with age but Vaughn had the raw energy thats hard that is only had by recalling the emotion of being jettisoned from the womb without any users manual
@rodie2003 never and i mean NEVER have i heard of this... hendrix ya, but by stevies time, string manufacturer's pretty much got it down.... what really makes steveie sound huge, aside from his agrressive pick attack , fingers, and modified equipment, was the fact that he used about at least 3-4 tube amps live .6 -7 amps in the studio and im sure more amps according to the venue.
just listened to one of Jimi's live versions of Red House on Youtube...never mind it's not fair to compare they were both stellar. Jimi DID use space & changed up tempos styles & everything (since he knew and had played the blues form inside out for years) so that he'd hit on the "rules" then break them then create new ones then retreat back to form. He saw the box & moved inside and outside the box with an unmatched command.
Ive love lots of blues guitarists &even in the stratoscaster stratosphere of Hendrix, Beck or anyone I've ever heard in 50+ years of musical listening.......as far as PURE BLUES CHOPS I think Stevie had THE most jawdroppingly large satchel of skills I ever heard bar none .. an underratedly great blues vocalist too. Hendrix wrote some great songs too, had a broader variety of styles in him & he did his thing way way before Stevie (noone could approach Jimi til Stevie) so greater artist? Yep
@thebird55 Hi. Just read a guitar player private thread. This video, and the tour was discussed. These guys all play. They note that Stevie Ray played with a wall of amps, Beck with only a couple small marshalls. Would have been great to hear equal decibles. Talk about two of the best ever.
@MrArtist1971 Hey. I think out of all of the great guitarists, Jeff Beck just has to be heard live. You might not like all the music selections he plays, but if you love great guitar, you'll love every song.
I saw this tour at the USF Sundome in Tampa. Jeff Beck opened up for Stevie Ray Vaughan. It was awesome! They got up and played this together as the last song of Stevie's set. Jeff broke a string, threw his guitar down, hugged Stevie and walked off the stage. It was Stevie's last tour.
Wow thanks for posting this. It is great to see two guitar legends playing a wicked awesome version of Freddie King's killer song Going Down. Getting to see SRV and JB in aciton together does not get much better than that. Great capture.
@5507156693 True without a doubt Mr. Nix is a master songsmith, producer, & arranger of uber caliber. As this song is a testimony to his exceptional craftsmanship. But it would be very egregious not to acknowledge Freddie King’s role in bringing the song to public prominence by recording it.
Never meant to cast doubt on Mr. King's contributions and accomplishments; only wanted to set things straight just in case someone might be oblivious to the real facts. For instance, I adore Ray Charles' version of "Georgia on My Mind" but never shy away from pointing out to the poor in knowledge that the song was actually created by the great Hoagy Carmichael. We should all strive for knowledge and excellence, shouldn’t we…:)
@5507156693 Yes we should all strive for excellence. And in striving for excellence and knowledge in setting the record straight one should not be leaving out pertinent facts about said compositions. Such as not recognizing Freddie King’s major contribution in popularizing this song that Mr. Nix composed so masterfully if boarding musical consciousness is your goal. For 100,000’s of us musicians Freddie King was the source for learning this song. Thanks for the FYI on Mr. Don Nix…:)
@Wintersteel747 Do I rightly sense an undertone of spite in your reply?? As I explicitly stated I don't question Freddy’s (musical) accomplishments and contributions (to this song’s popularity). FYI I'm an avid listener of his. Clarifying a point doesn't mean coming up with animosity against a widely recognized Master of the Blues guitar. I think I made that obvious
Stumbled on this for the first time this morning. I remember when this tour came around and I didn't go. What the hell was I thinking?!?! Jeff is one of my all time favorite players and thankfully he is still out there playing some mean guitar, but oh my God do I miss Stevie. So amazing.
What's with all the Beck haters? He plays some mean rhythm guitar whilst SRV plays some killer lead hooks. I'm sure if Stevie was around he'd berate you for being such a bunch of complete retards
Forget who's better. Either way -- This is THE best video on youtube. Proof @ 1:20. What he just did to his guitar there was straight disrespectful. But in a just make-it-sound-so-good-it-doesn't-make-sense ridiculous way. Many thumbs up.
Thanks for the correction, I remembered the name Tench but all my vinyl LP's are boxed up, I have a USB turntable and have loaded the songs into I-Tunes. I have been playing lead guitar for 52 years and count Jeff Beck as my favorite, but how do you pick a best with so much pure talent to choose from. For every player we can name someone else can name 10 more also greats that we may not have even heard of. Check out a cat named Buddy Whittington, He did several tours with John Mayal, Scott M
No matter how SRV plays, no matter how many notes he's squeezing in, he seems to be working at half speeed. As if he's just having fun, sitting in the rocking chair, that if he actually got serious about the whole thing, he'd just blow your GD head off.
@AXmichigan: Perhaps you meant to say "Someone as influential as Clapton is DEFINITELY (as opposed to deFIANtly?) no average guitar player" (that's 2 words). I suppose defiantly could work too, though. LOL.
44 dislikes are you kidding me unless you are an ex girlfriend or or can play a guitar to a fraction of what these guys can do or have done RIP get a clue
@iamaheron The shit stain with the phone # for a screen name has been posting for months. I got into it with him 5 mos. ago. He lives for this shit. What a loser. He gives thumbs up to his own posts and thumbs down to others so they get deleted. My first time here in months and he's still at it. Pathetic.
Saw this co billed extravaganza in Louiseville Ky in 89, Beck opened and he was incredible. Waited a lifetime to see him. Yet, having seen SRV four times prior, I expected to see a standard SRV set. As Mr. Vaughan opened with The House is Rockin, within seconds, I knew that this would be no typical SRV show. He blew the f..king roof off the arena. Tone, Soul, Fire and a take no prisoners attitude.I almost felt sorry for Jeff.
Hey Beck's great, everybody should know it, hell HE KNOWS IT, but man Stevie Didn't fuck around. At around 1:24, those big licks, that's like taking a hammer and pounding piano wire. How many bluesslingers even have the nerve to play with Beck?

To Jesrama1: Yes, of course, makes sense. Perhaps I should have differentiated between "Best" or "Better" with "Legend". There is no doubt those at the top-"Cream of the Crop" or Legends if you will, will always have their fan base. I'm just sayin' why not just leave it at that? I think it was Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones that said "Rock and Roll was not something created to be analyzed, but enjoyed"-or some such comment.

Why can't we all just mature and cut the crap about "this one was/is better than that one". They are/were "best" in what they did. All borrowed from someone before them. Different generations will have their "favorite"(s). Praise and give them all their due and just move on and stay tuned for the next "Great" one is all I'm sayin'.

I saw SRV play maybe twenty-five years ago and the thing I remember was the strings he used to play. Now most famous guitarists use heavy-gauge strings because they sound better and stay in tune longer, but I NEVER saw strings like that before! They looked more like electric cables than they did strings! I think of the hand strength SRV had to have to play guitar every night for hours with those strings. Simply amazing!

First SRV did his set, then Jeff Beck did his set, then as an encore they both got on stage and played this tune.

just listened to one of Jimi's live versions of Red House on Youtube...never mind it's not fair to compare they were both stellar. Jimi DID use space & changed up tempos styles & everything (since he knew and had played the blues form inside out for years) so that he'd hit on the "rules" then break them then create new ones then retreat back to form. He saw the box & moved inside and outside the box with an unmatched command.

5507156693 5 months ago
@5507156693 True without a doubt Mr. Nix is a master songsmith, producer, & arranger of uber caliber. As this song is a testimony to his exceptional craftsmanship. But it would be very egregious not to acknowledge Freddie King’s role in bringing the song to public prominence by recording it.
Wintersteel747 5 months ago
@Wintersteel747
Never meant to cast doubt on Mr. King's contributions and accomplishments; only wanted to set things straight just in case someone might be oblivious to the real facts. For instance, I adore Ray Charles' version of "Georgia on My Mind" but never shy away from pointing out to the poor in knowledge that the song was actually created by the great Hoagy Carmichael. We should all strive for knowledge and excellence, shouldn’t we…:)
5507156693 5 months ago
@5507156693 Yes we should all strive for excellence. And in striving for excellence and knowledge in setting the record straight one should not be leaving out pertinent facts about said compositions. Such as not recognizing Freddie King’s major contribution in popularizing this song that Mr. Nix composed so masterfully if boarding musical consciousness is your goal. For 100,000’s of us musicians Freddie King was the source for learning this song. Thanks for the FYI on Mr. Don Nix…:)
Wintersteel747 5 months ago
@Wintersteel747 Do I rightly sense an undertone of spite in your reply?? As I explicitly stated I don't question Freddy’s (musical) accomplishments and contributions (to this song’s popularity). FYI I'm an avid listener of his. Clarifying a point doesn't mean coming up with animosity against a widely recognized Master of the Blues guitar. I think I made that obvious
