  • Those are some amazing shots of Leadbelly in the first part of the tape. My dad saw Leadbelly perform in a nightclub in New York, in PRISON GARB, in the early 1950's. Check THAT out!

  • great video, nice to see respect given to those who diserve it

  • I think I´m going to die if anyone removes this video from youtube.

    man I love my Music!!

  • a beutiful tribute to the guitar,and those who mastered it!!

  • Many musicians are really happy when people makes covers of their song, no matter how good or bad the cover is, It show´s them that they have made a great song.

    Rip Stevie ray Vaughn, one of the greatest guitarist ever.

  • Hollon67 Respect! Stevie was and is the best!

    R.I.P Stevie Ray Vaughan your soul will rest in heaven

  • This may the the coolest video on youtube!

  • I realy miss them both!! awesome video thanks for sharing

  • This vid made me cry, just so... beautiful, specially the song. Awesome

  • Nasıl? Tutulur dimi?

    ;)

  • It is widely known that Hendrix wrote it, it is an interpretation, not so much a cover

  • ...no its a cover

  • STEVIE... He was the SOUL and the SPIRIT... An angel of a man who spoke to people as if he knew them forever. God reached out and touched him in a way none other can say. We so truly miss his musical genious. He is without a doubt one of the best musicians our world had ever known. Stevie... I miss ya brotha... See ya on the other side...

  • it is way better when SRV plays it thoe he doesn't really play what hendrix played just the same rythem but it is almost all diferent stuff

  • yes that is true but it still is a cover, like what hendrix did with all along the watchtower, it was mcuh better than Bob Dylans version but it still was a cover

  • That's true, imagine how dylan feels now

  • he feels great. theres nothing wrong with another musician being able to better render a song then you, because you created it in the beginning. Dylan was happy because the song finally sounded like he imagined it would...thats what he said when he heard Jimmie's version.

  • The same thing when Johnny Cash covered Nine Inch Nails - Hurt. Trent Reznor frequently has stated that the song is "no longer his" because of how Johnny Cash did it.

  • You play guitar? It's called an arrangement when you interpret a song using different music than was written originally: Clapton's I Shot the Sheriff, Chili Peppers Higher Ground, for example...a cover is what a fucking radio DJ calls it...did Clapton cover Layla when he did the acoustic version? NOoooo...he rearranged it!!! As he says in the beginning of the song:" let's see if you can spot this one..."

  • This is so AWESOME!! How can anyone give less than five stars?? SRV is for sure one of the greatest guitarists of all time.

  • you do know SRV version is more memorable, famous, and better.

  • Ya know, it's true what they say...only the good die young...RIP SRV

  • the greatest guitarist to ever pick up the instrument

  • A me piace pensare di Stevie e Jimi,insieme, in una jam session, tra le nuvole...o in qualunque posto essi siano....

  • One of my favourite songs, i love this video, i almost cry everytime i watch it. RIP SRV one of the best guitarists of all time. Thank you soo much for posting this video

  • you know that jimi hendrix wrote this song right? srv's version is a cover

  • God bless whoever made this video, so sad that such an amazing talent was killed so early. rip srv

  • gah, think of Jimi and Stevie playing a concer together. that would be the most incredible thing ever.

    talk about hour-long orgasm...

  • Always loved this version of Little Wing! Jimi would approve. I love this video but I wish I could see the video of Stevie playing it.

  • Absolutely great tribute video to all the blues greats, blues musicians and blues fans around the world. Excellent video.

  • Pretty cool video, i especially like the part at 3:10 with Roy Buchanan, very fitting.

  • Stevie - we really miss you

  • ANd he and Lincoln are both dead while I live? The world is not fair. However right it is.

  • amazing music.

  • Well done!  I cried because I miss SRV so much..this is a very fine tribute and brilliant imagery. Thank you! It was a real treat.

  • A visual tour de force comparable to Vaughan's music. Bravo! I agree with another viewer: best I've seen on YouTube. Congratulations, amigo, superbly done.

  • *Caffeine, sorry about the typo

  • Wow, SavageAnimal2006. You can't compare a cover by Skid Row to SRV or Jimi. Thats like comparing Caffeine to Cocaine. Cocaine may make you a little hyper and euphoric. But Cocaine is gonna be much more intense.

  • AHAHHAHA TRUE! caffeine to cocaine thats a fucking great analogy

  • I like Skid Row's Little Wing more..

  • You're retarded.

  • SOoooo, you're the one...the only ONE...Skid Row? Surely you jest.

  • Loved both you and your bro Jimmy. Oak Cliff misses ya and I miss you and think of you often. RIP my sweet friend.

  • srvs version is much more technical and far far better

  • Jimi changed music forever, Stevie took it to the next level.

  • to whoever said this was too long, this could have gone on for an hour and i would still love it. this was amazing- RIP the greatest guitarist there will ever be

  • i actually like srvs little wing better than hendrix sometimes srv does sing when he plays this song live so its not like he cant play it and sing at the same time

  • best tribute iv ever seen to anyone.

  • one of the best songs I've ever heard hands down

  • Saying Stevie's Little Wing is too long compared to Jimi is like saying Sex with Charlize Theron was too long compared to Cindy Crawford- fagetaboutit you are clueless my friend:)

  • ok jimi may have been the innovater... but stevie took the playing to another level... I respect them both equally

  • lol, i should say the same as 666luc666, i didnt know him, he plays good, but its not jimi! jimi singed and played better.

  • A great tribute video, A great fender making video, a great video overall. RIP SRV...I didn't even know you existed until this day, and for that i'm sorry. Now I will never forget you. Great cover, as good as jimi.

  • SRV's version was waaaaaay too long. There's a lot to be said for just the right length of song/solo. Jimi's version is much much better ....even his live versions ( Berkley as example) kick this one's ass.

  • YEah...and Led Zeppelin shoulda written 3-minute hooks, right? Maybe you're attention span is too short...

  • There's nothing wrong with a three minute hook. Example - My first 45 - You Really Got Me - Kinks. Beats the shit out of protracted guitar noodling a la -In a Gadda Da Vida.

    Albert King is the best example I know. Minimal playing. short songs, but KILLER tone and feeling. That's why SRV toured with him in 85. (Saw em). He understood that and wanted to learn.

  • god, i miss him

  • The only one ever to come close to Jimi. Rest in peace SRV.

  • SRV > hendrix =/

  • no man hendrix > SRV cuz SRV coverd alot of hendrixes songs

  • Great Video, Great Tribute to SRV and The Blues
