[brunomarfernandes]

without words . . .

[TomHelmar66]

if i could only channel Stevie Ray Vaughan... Johnny Hiland with Sammy Hagar's version is outstanding as well...

[dontanner232]

Stevie doing Freddiie is ALL good... Both Missed.

[Jesrama1]

@dontanner232 Freddie covered this song just like Stevie. And Stevie learned this song as a friendly nod to Jeff Beck who famously covered it too

[lyntonio]

Music died in 1990

[wtglb]

He died with those boots on.....

[LutherRayable]

We were all so lucky to witness such an incredible human being....What can i say Stevie?? You didn't just knock 'em dead-you tore 'em up into little tiny pieces.lol

"So what did you think of the other band??.....................Who­??!lol

[ccgetty]

Everytime I hear his music or see a video it makes me miss what he brought even more

[w9j15g]

The audio quality is surprisingly good for an audience-made video.

[CaradaysRedux]

His music just makes me HAPPY!

[WayneDavisRocks]

awsome



[lilpeazy601]

He was the best...played every note you could imagine listening to in your head...amazing.

[alcoholman01]

acres and acres of tone... Lord have Mercy

[9VINI0]

i love freddie king, but I have say the truth , this is the best version that i've ever hear...

[canthesoda]

always such a sharp dresser!  (*,-)

he can get ride this boogie horse DOWN!!!!!!!!!

[rocket1az]

You can tell he enjoyed playing this song as much as I enjoyed listening to it.

[bluesify100]

I believe this is from the last known footage of him. Although, he closed this set with Voodoo Chile. I'm just quoting someone else who had a clip on here, so that's how I know, but no, I wasn't actually there, I wasn't even a year old yet.

[csi2448]

@bluesify100 There's actually footage of him playing two nights after this in Denver and there's footage of him on the first night of Alpine Valley (I have footage of that on my channel)

[lucifer73]

The last guitar hero. Period.

[johndar24]

Thank you for posting this. I saw him one time a long time ago and it's really appreciated that you took the time to post this. I listen to those same 5 or 6 CD's in my car almost everyday and they never get old to me. This video made my day. The world could have used a little more SRV.

[Gmfuller07]

Look at that foot work!! SRV is allways finding new ways to amaze me!

[boski05]

@Gmfuller07 Hahaha! Great:)

[keevee09]

Lone Star!

[needianame]

That tone is amazing...

[BloozeDaddy76]

Stevie Ray is the only guy who can do this song any better than Freddie King! Awesome version, too bad there is not a single version of this song by Stevie Ray available on CD.

[justinwiggy]

@BloozeDaddy76 Theres a great version, track 3 disc 3 of the SRV box set.

[justinwiggy]

@justinwiggy Sorry, i'm a muppet...track 8

[TheSadnessskies]

Epic.

[Angelfish25000]

oh jeez..... just blew me away

[RastafariPoet]

His spirit knew his time was running out.

[changospank1]

beautiful

[Aaronjrh]

epic

he must have tripped himself out at times

best live guitarist

[filolovejoy]

I do not believe Leo Fender thought that his creation was ever meant to sound anything like this. I mean really..... this is absolutely insane, and whats even more unbelievable is he played this song hundreds of times and never played it the same way twice. I always wonder which stratosphere he would have taken his music next. Jazz-blues? blues -flamenco-jazz-rock? Guess we'll never know.... thank God for the people who post this stuff.

[Wyga23]

And I can't stop laughing at all those idiots from my class who said he was just a poor copy of Jimi Hendrix. Class 86! Kiss my ass!

[synfan7x]

I can easily why he is a legend,

Even though i just started listening to his music i can easily say that his guitar playing is beautiful.

I wish he would have lived longer so we can hear more of his talent.

[IK1963]

I wish Stevie had released this.

[supralee]

good good good!splendid!all power!fire!

[SRV4evr]

Awesome. I've said it before, but no one, nowhere will ever replace Stevie. Ever. He was one in a million. Thank you for posting! Love you always, Sevie.

[BluesThor]

@tony9L9L

we have noticed that you didn't like Stevie that much..

but do you have to irritate other peoples because of that? could you please discontinue?

just wondering..

[grga888]

Shut the fuck up you uneducated retard.

[edmeixtervonfrague]

To be disrespectful to Stevie you need to be a really sick bastard . He was music , spontaneous , honest and powerful . more than any other motherfucker in the world .

a damn lot of people is into stevies guitar and gear , even bought the fucking texas specials . YOU WILL NEVER SOUND LIKE HIM . he was a genious & one of a kind the sound is in the man. the only way to become bigger is being ourselves and doing good soulful blues . finding our own sound like he did

[edmeixtervonfrague]

[SoberGeorge]

@edmeixtervonfrague Amen brother! I had the pleasure of meeting Stevie a couple of times, and I can tell you that he was as sincere off stage as he was on. The cat played his heart out at every performance, and he always nailed it. The great thing about Stevie's playing is that it was as you said, spontaneous. He didn't over-think the music. Pure blues comes from the soul, not the head. Real blues fans respect Stevie, and we miss him terribly.

[rattlers678]

get a life

[obdami]

Damn he could play some mean guitar...

[drlepper72]

great song choice. What a great job of paying homage to one of his heroes without it being a "cover band" version, makes it his own for the night. thanks for posting. Freddy would be proud if he could sit here and watch this.

[calilifestyle11]

Wow. This does Freddy King justice.

[jdakota41]

well, take a look here at the video of srv WITH jeff beck and tell me that stevie doesnt kick becks ass

[makilovi66]

Of course that he kicks his ass, and yes, this is a mindblowing version of a Freddie King classic, MINDBLOWING!!!

[theflare22]

WOW!

[grga888]

BTW. Superstition and Goin Down done by Beck is better than Stevie's versions? Are you fuckin crazy or what? Everybody with a brain and a pair of clean ears would tell you that SRV covered them better, a lot better, also, Come on isn't a "note for note" cover of a Hendrix's cover, Stevie again did it in his own, unique and original way, for crying out loud, he never ever even played a song the same way twice, he was known for his long jams, improvisations, etc...

[tmattnv]

i'll have to agree with grga888,"note for note" stevie ray? hhhaA!

[makilovi66]

What the hell are you saying? Are you fuckin blind or what? Read again the comments if you have a hard time understanding it wise guy. The guys are right, both of them. If you think they are wrong than you certainly are not a real guitar player/musician, only a moron and a retard can go over such clear facts and try to go on with their sick and retarded ideas that make no sense like that Geep dude.

[IamMilk]

@grga888 Fuck yeah!

[CaesarDux]

@grga888 Sorry, but there are sizable numbers of listeners with brains and clean ears who still feel that Beck did just about the definitive "Going Down," and frankly, I think it's the superior version as well. I love SRV (and saw him three times in person), but this isn't his best track by a long shot.

[grga888]

Geep, you brainwashed moron, this isn't a just a "ordinary cover for example note for note replicating the original and bringing nothing new in it". Stevie was widely known that when he did covers of some songs that he would play them in his own unique and original way, totally different from the original, not to mention that some of his covers were even better than the originals. Only a retard can deny it.

[THEBIGKOSTRINSKY]

ur name went from tony to the srv nazi when u joined the "hate dead musicians club, for no good reason besides the fact that ur an angry cold hearted fuck who somehow amuses himself by flaunting his insane dumb ideas on youtube so he can get attention and make srv fans and music fans pissed of, sad and offering the only possible buz kill to any srv song that we all want to cherish" hows that for a title MEIN DOUCHEBAG

[THEBIGKOSTRINSKY]

hence u just look like a sadistic prick so thats why i dube thee....THE SRV NAZI!

[BluesThor]

tony9L9L: How do you manage to comment on so many videos?

[TheBungeechord]

tony9L9L: good one, lol!

[tony9L9L]

YES! That's another thing Stevie said in the helicopter!

[BluesThor]

what is it that bothers you about Stevie? are you jealous?

[TheBungeechord]

tony9l9l = ahole9l9l

[tony9L9L]

TheBungeechord= hopeless lactating hermaphrodite

[jvoltz25]

i hope you rot for saying that about the legend of stevie ray vaughan, his greatness is uncompareable so dont even waste your time

[stringbender1125]

It's cool how Freddy King took this Don Nix tune and made it his own and then how Stevie made Freddy's version HIS own. Precious stuff!

[stratking69er]

I want this to be played when I get lowered into the ground.........what a man !!

No one will ever come close----fuck all the copyists, we only ever need SRV.

[boski05]

Something like that, his ABSOLUTLY AMAZING.

[tony9L9L]

He wasn't 'lowered' so much as smashed into the ground at 300 miles an hour dude.

Maybe this is what he sang as he fell

"I'm going down, down down down down down -in my helicopter baby OH YEEEeeeaHH!" lol

[JartBansen]

grow up man, you are being very disrespectfull towards Stevie and the people who where close to him. No need to behave like this....

[stratking69er]

@tony9L9L

SRV still has friends and family alive today and you should not be making such disgusting comments. I would truly love to stab you in the face for making those vile comments, but sadly the law does not allow that pleasure for a law abiding citizen. I do hope though, that you contract something like a seriously painful and slow cancer, and I will be praying to a vengeful God that this comes to pass.

[Geepsterr]

This is a good version. ....Eh, but Copyists??? Heh! This is a cover of a cover of a cover. Check out the Jeff Beck group version , the record, just unreal, superb, and then Superstition by Beck, Bogert & Appice for whom S. Wonder wrote it. You will see how SRVs Superstition is a cover of the cover. Also check out Come On ( let the good times roll ) a virtual note for note cover of Hendrix's cover.

[farinasa]

@stratking69er It may be true that no one will come close to stevie, but he was known for being a copyist. check how many of his songs are covers. hes also known for being able to play albert kings licks as good as albert himself.

[mitchtickler]

@stratking69er TRUE! But you can't blame people for being inspired by the man... Imitation is a form of flattery ...

[gypsy469]

@stratking69er SRV copied this song.....study your music....

[boski05]

@gypsy469 There is a BIG diference between copy and cover;) Hope all covers would be that good as this.

[stratking69er]

@gypsy469

Don't patronise me you simpleton !! I am well aware of the origins of the song. I was just saying that loads of people have copied the SRV style without success, whereas SRV took a song and carried it forward by making it his own.

[boski05]

@stratking69er Simpleton?

[hgad123]

@stratking69er why the fuck do you have to start shit..with your simpleton bullshit..just shut up a watch the video.. jesus christ! so he gave you a ;) big fucking deal..its people like you that ruin youtube with your stupidity. that is all stratking69er ;)

[56kidd]

I saw Stevie Ray at the Saenger Theater in Pensacola, Florida in 1987. Omar and the Howlers opened for him and it was incredible, to say the least. To this day, one of the best concerts I've ever attended. Absolutely unforgetable, awesome. Stevie Ray is immortal.

[zackrosicka]

@56kidd I absolutely love the Saenger Theater in PC, and Love Stevie!

[pooper4]

two words........audible orgasm

[aypee16]

so glad someone bootlegged this!!!

[boski05]

pleasure is all mine!:)

[tony9L9L]

You are confessing to illegally copying an artist's music. Stealing music is a crime and distributing inferior copies of bootlegged material seriously damages an artist's reputation. You risk a fine or prison sentence and all for the opportunity to spread the work of a half-baked Texan junkie tribute band?

[psyboyboy]

So wonderfull!!!!

[brewereric]

the thing about this cat was that he was such a friendly, helpful person. I met him twice at a concert pavillion where I had a pt job working the stage (just to see concerts basically) stevie was so open and thoughful. he played one concert with the allman bros opening...they werent so friendly...stevie talked and talked and ate and talked some more to anyone who would listen...dam quite a young man indeed

[zeppelinstrat]

gah he's so great, he's the perfect amount of technical ability and passion and creative ability

[clarkewi]

Stevie Ray, I never got to see you in concert, but you are a GOD!!!

[48755003]

Love it as always. R.I.P my friend!!

[voodoo4u1975]

killer!!! i saw him right around this time on july 5th 1990 stanhope n.j. @ waterloo village. 1990 was stevie's best year i think. he was happy sober, and high on life. this playing shows. i will never forget him...anyone that was at 7-5-90 show in n.j. i wood like to know!!!

[0008890]

R.I.P

[forfaka]

bad motherfucker.

[grga888]

And of course Goin Down!

[grga888]

This is a great show! I have it, and it is smokin! My favorites are Leavy My Little Girl Alone, Tightrope, Wall Of Denial, Voodoo Child (

[csi2448]

This whole show is just badass! 7/15/90 in St. Louis, a little over a month before Stevie died. This whole show used to be on here but the user took it down. It's good to see some more of this brilliant show.

Stevie's playing as usual is badass, and that strut he has is so damn cool too. Stevie was sure one of a kind. R.I.P. Stevie!!!!!

Thanks for the upload! If you have anymore of this show please post it!

[BigDBlues]

BigD thanks you for this! Keep the faith...

[csi2448]

I'm sure you've already sent this to everyone you know too. You've sent me some pretty sweet videos so I thought I'd return the favor!
