Before youtube, I was only able to see the label released stuff and a couple of bootlegs I was to get my hands hand. To have all these performances uploaded from people all over the world is awesome. They are all treasures, but this one is the crown jewel.
How'd you like to run sound for SRV..."Umm Stevie, I'm going to need you to turn it down to 7 or something-because these house speakers are fucking on fire."
The headstock on Number 1 has the tape on it from being repaired!! I love to see the sunburst still have shine on it in this video and then the last videos of it being all cracked up and dry from the road.
Damn! How much was his bail that night. He HAD to have been arrested after this performance because to play that mean has to be illegal! He was just tearing it up. Much more so than on any of his studio albums! Thank you SO much for posting this. Long Live SRV!
@danimation777 - There should be, but there isn't. I was the only one shooting video during the afternoon and the video I posted of SRV is every second of what I shot of him that day. Had I known how historically valuable this recording would be, I would have shot his whole set. However, videotape was expensive and I only had so much tape with me that day, I was saving most of it to record my band, the Planets, later that day.
What a fantastic day this was. Tornado Jam has got to be brought back! One of the things I remember about that day was when a guy borrowed the owner of KLLL's 1956 Rolls Royce, parked the car on a slope, and for got to put the emergency brakes on! Into the water the car went. And I was in that car about 2 weeks earlier. Great music all day & night, from what I remember of that night. Cops didn't bother with drinking, as long as it didn't get out of hand.
This performance always takes my breath away. Seemed like even Stevie was surprised at the notes he was able to pull out of that guitar of his. He was, and still is, simply amazing!!!
I played a gig last night with Jackie Newhouse and we did Voodoo Chile just like he used to do it with Stevie. And he used the same bass as in this video!
You thrill my heart! This is the best capture I've seen yet. I stood in front of those speakers many times, and this made me feel it again. awesome. thanks ever so!
@Pjaynes781 - I shot this video using the microphone on the camera. When I was standing directly in front of SRV's amps, it was LOUD, LOUD, LOUD and it overloaded the microphone and caused the distortion you are hearing. (It was also really uncomfortable for me, too!) When I moved out of the "line of fire", the sound improved.
@Softcorps Awesome, what a story. I do sound editing / engineering, I figured you were only using the camera mic. Very cool, I'd love to hear the story behind this particular event.
@Softcorps yeah you can hear it Phase as you move, Stevie must have been pealing paint off tress with those Vibroverbs on 10.. This footage is so Epic..you deserve a medal my friend.
Totally stunning performance. I was lucky anough to see SRV's only show at Madison Square Garden when he double billed with Jeff Beck. I'll bet most of the people in this crowd - sitting on the tops of trucks and standing in front of the stage roped off like they're at the bank - still remember this show. Thank G*d we still have this footage (and thank you John!)
The more I watch this video the more I cant believe how awesome this is, its a SRV that was young and had nothing to loose, could play anything he wanted without restrictions. Then at 1:00 onwards you see his 2 super reverbs, a legend with a budget..
@Stratblooz ....and good luck trying to find those old '64's. last decent one I saw went for 5 grand and had a stock 15" JBL...sounded like a million bucks.
Look at all of those people messing up the grass.lol SRV always liked coming to Lubbock because he wasnt known as just "Jimmy's little brother", he was just a popular.
@pedrinme, this is all the footage of SRV that I shot that day. It was a day-long music festival and I had a limited amount of videotape. (It was expensive at the time.) Had I known how valuable this SRV recording would become, I would have used all my videotape on SRV and not recorded any of the other bands.
Softcorps is correct. I was with Stevie & the band that day. Unless something else has surfaced recently this would be the earliest video outside the immediate family. Stevie knew this was being filmed & was tickled by it AND THE PLANETS WERE A GOOD BAND!!
I saw him at the world's biggest party that Budweiser threw in downtown Dallas. The Thunderbirds came on first and then SRV. IT was about 500 degrees outside that day.
This is awesome! I have a good friend who loves Stevie, but doesn't care much for his early stuff. I beg to differ!!!! He's like a racehorse at the starting gate - and raring to go. Even at this age (26?) he'd been playing guitar for 20 years, so he was accomplished. Not completely refined yet, or the artist he was to become - but he was so full of energy. A legend in the making! Love it! Thank you for posting this early look at my favorite bluesman.
@SRV4evr if your friend doesnt like the early years of SRV than hes not a real fan of his music...... ALL of his music is the best!! theres truly not one song of his or double troubles that i dislike, and im sure everyone else agrees!!!
You were in The Planets? I still have your album. Interview, Sweet Nothings, great songs. Great band. I must have seen you all 30-40 times at Fat Dawgs. Thanks for posting this. I have a very bad video copy of The Planets doing 3 songs at The Tornado Jam recorded off a TV show that played in Lubbock not long after the concert. It included Jay Boy Adams, The Planets and Joe Ely Band. The guy who shot it has posted some much better quality versions from that show on Youtube, from Joe Ely's set.
Thank you so much Softcorps!!!!! I can't believe that people have the audacity to complain about your efforts!!!!! have you seen Joe Bonamassa??? tremendous blues player!!!!
These are the kinda videos I love to find at 3:30 in the morning.... great Little Wing intro. SRV didn't lose an ounce of showmanship over the years..... Number 1 seems pretty healthy, he really beat the heck out of it over the next 10 years..... dig it man. thanks!
Yes, I shot this video. I actually knew Stevie pretty well at this time. SRV with Double Trouble and my band, the Planets, played a lot of the same clubs.
Sorry that you didn't enjoy the video, at least you didn't have to pay to see it. According to a number of SRV archivists, my video is the earliest known video available to the public. If there is an earlier video on YouTube why don't you provide a link to it?
@Softcorps sorry my mistake i must of read the date wrong on another video
and i didnt say i didnt enjoy it ,its actually one of my favorites and when you said you edited it i thought you ment their was more, cuz i thought it was kinda weird that there were random shots of little wing in the begining.
hey if you like stevie videos you should check out my playlists and the channel: grga888 and cricketttttt
I did start and stop the recording at the time by hitting the record button on the camera, so in that regard it has been edited. However, every second of the footage I shot of SRV that day is contained in this YouTube video
Man this is like finding a lost treasure. I have recordings from those days. SRV would have been 23 years old here. He looks so young. Think the audience had any idea of the budding genius they were witnessing?
There is a good reason that you hadn't seen this prior to about 18 months ago. I shot it and it had been in my private collection until recently. Only a select few of my friends had seen it.
Well I certainly appreciate you sharing w/ us! Hey, just thought of this, I have audio of SRV's AA story as he's speaking to a group and his AA memorial as given by Rene Martinez after SRV passed. I
Thanks for the quick reply! This indeed is priceless as stated by U4Eu. It's equivalent to Alan Lomax's tapes. Thanks John ... Thanks Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Yes, this had been up once before and I took it down briefly. Some idiot claimed that this was his video and was threatening legal action. I shot this video myself, so his claim was absolutely ridiculous. This video includes every second of video that I shot, a recording of the entire concert does not exist. I've been kicking myself for the last 30 years that I didn't tape the entire set but videotape was expensive and I only had so much with me that day.
Absolutely priceless video!!! Thanks, John, for sharing this with us. Even though we could all see his talent, none of us realized what these shows would eventually come to represent. RIP SRV
I was 10 when we went to this concert. Look at every one, no one had an idea at what genius we had in front of us that day. Sadley enough my Dad and I had just bought tickets to his scheduled performance in Lubbock, when he died
I was 10 when we went to this concert. If any one remembers it started raining. We were sliding down the mud hill. Look at everyone one no one had an idea of what genius we had in front of us that day. It was my birthday my Dad and I had just bought tickets to a SRV concert in Lubbock the day he died. Sad day.
this is great footage. Thank you so much for uploading it. It is so great to see SRV in the early years. Never seen material with Jacki Newhouse before. As ever, Stevie was a fearce as ever and intensity of his playing just the same as in the later years. He is a legend!
4:39-4:52 my hand would have fallen off by then... Just an Amazing guitar player....Period! who ever recorded this mustr have been in La La blues land!
for anyone who wasn't born yet, and loves stevie ray!!!! this gives them a chance to take a peak into stevies early years!!!! i just wish i hadn't forgot my camera!!!!! connie

Look at everyone one no one had an idea of what genius we had in front of us that day. It was my birthday my Dad and I had just bought tickets to a SRV concert in Lubbock the day he died. Sad day.

It didn't rain at this concert, you must be thinking of the second Tornado Jam a year later.

were you thinking that someday Stevie would be famous?

Stevie was a friend of mine and I certainly thought he had the potential to be famous, but I didn't know it for sure at the time.

this is great footage. Thank you so much for uploading it. It is so great to see SRV in the early years. Never seen material with Jacki Newhouse before. As ever, Stevie was a fearce as ever and intensity of his playing just the same as in the later years. He is a legend!
