Stevie Ray Vaughan - Little Wing (Rockpalast 1984)

[Anselmofanforever]

God??? Jesus??? Music is real, God and Jesus are fairytale-monsters, so how the h**l do they end up in the same sentence as SRV??? LOL

[ruletheglobe1]

No Jesus sits on the right side, SRV is definitely on the left in all white playing the beloved number 1 though.

[tedwyer]

SRV is on the right side of GOD playing some great music for him!!!

[anikorimotibeber]

wooow amazing R.I.P Stevie

[slowfasters]

Two dont like it that...two like the balls

[dictator54]

One of the top white bluesman was Rory Gallagher who probally was the best guitarist bar none, even Hendrix when asked what it was to be #1guitarist in world he replied ask Rory Gallagher that is a true statement if you haven't heard his stuff look him up passed away 1995 of liver failure.

[motokev]

I love this version of Little Wing. SRV was such a special talent. Not many get such a gift. So sad he's dead. RIP SRV

[MrStevieRV]

Stevie Ray God!

[jimleerice]

how could any person say this man couldnt bring the best

[MusicalRelease]

If you guys like this you should check out his version of it Live at The El Mocambo.

It will blow your mind....seriously it will...not playing

[poshi12]

he was one of the best guitar virtuosos ever!

[LULITA0904]

Un monstruo Stevie, el sentimiento que transmite al tocar está por encima de todo... inigualable!

[HEINRICH0529]

SEEN SRV IN HAMILTON ABOUT 2 WKS BEFORE HE WENT DOWN IN A HELICOPTER. OPENING FOR JOE COCKER. BEST LIVE PERFORMANCE I EVER SEEN. R.I.P S.R.V.

[arma964]

The Greatest !!

[32HOLDER]

Greatest ever

[gootchie]

Gotta love those Rockpalast performances. Not just by Stevie, but by many others.

[MrElDuderino85]

You know the worst thing about SVR videos? The film crew thinks we give a damn about what is going on around Stevie. Just keep it on him. But can't do anything about it now. RIP. The greatest! Still love the video!

[SoMaryClimbIn]

Thank you for posting! Truly beautiful.

[tadster94]

this is amazing. stevie was one of the baddest dudes to touch a guitar. the 2 people who disliked this can suck a dick

[zoejill1]

Best cover of jimi ever!!!

[mixwell1983]

Damn I wish I coulda been there but @ 1 year old I couldn't have experienced such orgasmic music and would be to young to enjoy it.. I would kill to see SRV now in my 20s.. Much love SRV !! RIP

[CosmikDebrisFZ]

@mixwell1983 Yep, I was lucky to see him live with Joe Cocker back in the late 80's not to long before he was killed. What a great show it was.

[mixwell1983]

@CosmikDebrisFZ - Wow must have been great, I bet it seemed like another concert at the time but knowing now that SRV would pass not to long after must have made that show become even more valuable to you.

[CosmikDebrisFZ]

@mixwell1983 Yes it was amazing. I originally went to see Joe Cocker with his recent release of his "Unchain My Heart" album. I wasn't yet into SRV, but did like some of his material. Was more into classic rock ect. Once he played tho it totally blew my mind and was a huge fan ever since. What talent the music industry has lost.

[BlinkBeer]

Really who was the the one who disliked this, SRV is a legend and died way before his time. its sad he was the same as jimi in that way

[tomes2782]

Best SRV song ever. nobody has done this song more justice. RIP stevie.

[09paulia]

Who in the hell marked a dislike for this video???!!!???

[Dirkoha]

Steve is the best I love this song !!!!! =)

[mossberg451]

[Megadeth4242]

Stevie died 'cause God needed guitar lessons.

[Memphis5546]

[Jarkinson]

This is the worst video ever! I saw it few years ago and can't stop swearing how somebody must be stupid to show whole world THAT FUCKING BOAT or BIG TENT when SRV plays. Why?! I can't belive it happens! What a morons editing this video?! Ehhhhhh........I feel better now:) Great music!:)

[Rockkk59]

i think he looks ridiculous in these clothes, fag hendrix imitator

[livinlife245]

@Rockkk59 this is as far from a hendrix imitation as you can get while covering little wing

[Megadeth4242]

@Rockkk59 you should seriously go die, even hendrix would be so proud to have stevie play this

[TheZAPPAfied]

@Rockkk59

eat a dick.

[Rockkk59]

@TheZAPPAfied or fuck a duck.

[TheZAPPAfied]

@Rockkk59

[Rockkk59]

@TheZAPPAfied "or fuck a duck"

[TheComeonfeet]

@Rockkk59 haha youre actually the dumbest person ive seen on here....and this is youtube which is saying a lot

[Babric420]

@Rockkk59 yeah the clothes are kinda fucking dumb but listen to that guitar

[killthebeast76]

[TheMANright101]

@killthebeast76 the third stone from the sun by jimi hendrix

[NANDO218]

he was one ugly bastard but he can play.

[mmatej2]

non talented fag

[andrewbaltzer]

@mmatej2  you say that because you think he might be tryin to take your title?

[lucasf22]

@mmatej2 shut up you jerk, maybe you are a MAB fan, go and listen to your fucking robot playing fast.

[TheMANright101]

@mmatej2

better than a butt fucking fag like you

[DropKickATurtle]

effortless, fucking effortless R.I.P

[mmatej2]

common guys, he messed up the intro in 0:34 ... and you compare this crapy guitarist with hendrix who allways played perfect (i dont say he allways played on the same level - but what he decided to play at that time, he played it perfect with no mistakes..)... and even if he would not totally fuck ed up the intro, i dont see any brilliancy in his playing.. specialy in this song, only adding some crap 6 minutes solo wannabe to original.. I like randy hanson's(with buddy miles) cover much more..

[dacordova]

@mmatej2 Hendrix couldn't play worth a shit live like this guy can.

[roqe666]

@mmatej2 Not seeing SRV's brilliance as guitar player shows how much you know about blues and music in general

He is not copying Hendrix it is Stevie's tribute to his idol Hendrix it's not to supposed to bee exact copy moron!

And this "wannabee" as you call him is Nr.7 on RoolingStone list of 100 best guitar players of all time, he must have done something right....but I'm sure you know better....jeez

[DropKickATurtle]

you no nothing about music man, bet you have a shit load of bachstreet boys cds your a fuckin idiot.

[osufootball09]

@mmatej2 do you have any clue what a rendition is? he took little wing and made it into his own style.

[iguisard]

talk about soul.

[42506melissa]

CACORKINS, i completely agree. I just came across them today, lol, and I have fell in love!

[Radio15]

Another one of the best sadly gone.

[themusicalguru]

@Radio15 It's a shame really!!! :( He's amazing.

[littlewings74]

thanks for the post

[MegaSweetsister]

is this gig available on dvd?, anyone

[xxxBabsxxx12]

so epic *.* love stevie <3 .......RIP

[mattjohns21]

fuck arguing guys. seriously. just listen to this 8 minute long sexually explosive cover, and enjoy!

[iseankimi]

@mindaflame7 by what standards do you measure "technique" and "tone" and "feeling"? music and preference of music are both extremely subjective; there are no tangible statistics you can measure to determine who's "better". one thing though: you may be able to learn technique (i.e scales, key tonality, etc) a la steve vai, yngwie, etc. with enough practice, but no one can teach you to play with soul and feeling, both of which make Stevie my all-time favorite guitarist. PS, no need for hostility

[gilmoursatriani]

I do agree with what mindaflame7 says though, these days, if people like Hendrix were still around, i don't think their music would even be listened to as much. Part of the reason why they are regarded as such legends is because they died and their music lives on as their legacy.

[79GuitarMaster]

I'm sorry; this doesn't make much sense. Why wouldn't he be "listened to as much"? He wouldn't be playing the same music. Already by 1970, Hendrix was extremely frustrated because he wanted to progress (incorporate classical, jazz, etc into his work) but felt people weren't letting him. We ended up being deprived of his genius, but it's safe to assume that if he lived he would have been on the forefront of some very innovative shit -- and assuredly people would be listening.

[79GuitarMaster]

BTW, as far as the "dead legend" theory goes, there A LOT of musicians from that era who are living legends, and still germane today-- just as there are many from that era- both dead and alive- who have deservedly gone into oblivion.

[gilmoursatriani]

Modern guitarists like Yngwie Malmsteen and Joe Satriani are amazing guitarists, but i just don't find them as pleasing to listen to as people like SRV and Hendrix. A lot of the older guitarists such as SRV and even BB King put so much more feeling and rythym in their solos, it not only sounds better, but in my opinion makes them better guitarists. All guitarists with the knowledge of scales can bang out the fiddly stuff like Satriani and Vai.

[WILLIAMS5232]

Dang people! why turn personal opinion into a freaking debate! this isn't 1+1 it's music. either enjoy it for what it is (or was) or don't listen to the damned sh@t!

[Hilo1]

This is baseline guitar!

[nouvakyt]

this guy was a genius!!!!!

[chuecco]

Finally this video in stereo!!!!!!!!!!!

[rudyrudy9]

im not hating but if jimi and stevie were still alive im pretty sure not as many guitarast would recognize them as the greatest...like they say an artist artwork is fully discovered after death.. may them both R.I.P.

[jhuranim]

incorrect rudyrudy9.......jimi was widely considered the greatest guitarist alive WHEN he was alive.......he surpassed the greats like clapton and clapton had no problem admitting it at the time. jimi was beloved by fans AND by other musicians alike. he was placed on a very high pedestal well before his death at age 27.

[mindaflame7]

Yes, Hendrix was considered the greatest of his time,but the fact is that by today's standards his stuff today would be nothing to marvel over. I in fact suspect he would have ended just like clapton, deserting rock for ever and favouring slow blues over his youthful fire. My best example would be Van Halen, he was considered a big deal back in the early 80's, but SO many guitarists have surpassed his technique BY MILES that he is now just a shadow, would it be that way if he'd died in say..'85?

[mybandaccount]

@mindaflame7, since when are modern guitarists any good, in technique or sound?

[mindaflame7]

In technique? Are you kidding me? Technique? Wow what cave do you live in? Yngwie malmsteen, Joe satriani, steve vai, george bellas, yakayoshi ohmura, erick johnson, joe bonamasa and INFINITE other modern guitarists have enough technique to dance circles around Stevie or Hendrix, and tone?? ever heard of Erick johnson? Los lonely boys? Early malsmteen records? REMENBER YOU ASKED ABOUT TECHNIQUE AND TONE! NOT ABOUT FEELING! Wich is the reason i prefer Jimmi and Stevie ANT DAY OF THE WEEK!!

[mindaflame7]

So YES, modern guitarists have WAY WAY WAAAAAY more technichal prowess under their belts, BUT the magic and the incredible depth of perception an the true and pure exression that poured out of Stevie and Jimmi simply CAN NEVER BE DUPLICATED. Not with technique, Not with modern gadjets, Not with practice, it was THEIR heart being channeled through their fingertips, and THAT has very little to do with today's flashy crap. But YES, there is great technique and tone out there all over the place.

[mybandaccount]

There is no talent, technique, tone, or otherwise in modern guitarists. Doesnt matter any ways, because technique isnt all that important.

[poleda1]

hendrix set the bench mark,like satch says,hendrix died helped make him decide who he has become,an many more guitar players,

[mrbreeze30]

you an idiot

[mindaflame7]

Learn to write first you dumb retard "You an idiot" is NOT a sentence. I don't even know who the FUCK you are, or what you disagree with me on, so...next time EXPLAIN yourself you FUCKTARD.

[h1yaaaguy]

based on...

[rudyrudy9]

based on the fact that all the other blues players from both of their times have slowly died out. neil young once said its better to burn out then to fade away.

[thefonz59]

jesus...

[cacorkins]

if jimi and stevie were alive today, you all know there would be some amazing vids on here of them performing this song together.

[Fender074]

How can someone say this is a poor comment?

[waynechanhaoran]

@cacorkins but then, its as if God only allows one legend at a time.. because if both of them played together, the world would just stop

[themusicalguru]

@cacorkins Agreed.

[aledobretociastko]

@cacorkins Lol... I just imagined Hendrix with SRV, Rory Gallagher, Jimi Page or Eric Clapton... or them all together, lol. What a mindfuck. I'm not gonna sleep tonight. Fuck you, Death.

[eblue33]

"Now thats expensive."

[skyofrog]

This is the version I have on my ipod. I listen to it every day.

[thestratlars]

Great version of "Little Wing." Just like "Voodoo Chile" from this concert, Stevie pulls out some licks out of that hat that are different and above all else, highly expressive.

[elhugo000]

Maravillosa versión, creo que hasta engrandece aun mas la canción. Hendrix fue unico, pero el texano tambien.

[jwcournoyer]

F**K YA!!!!!

[avp010994]

he is fantastic. He did this song what hendrix did to hey joe. Not saying that hendrix is bad, im saying he made it his own incorperating his sound into the song and changing it. I do prefer his version to hendrix

[losstoneman]

why they put "lenny" on the half video :S

[Budadylan]

Undoubtedly, one of the greatest of the greatests.
