what in the hell is @wlangley88's problem with stevie? did he bone your mom back in the day or something? jimi was a master in my opinion so was stevie, both great musicians. get off jimis jimi
its my opinion that Stevie is a better guitar player than Jimi... but Jimi was just better at creatively... He was genius when it came to melody, rhythm, and metaphor's.
@wlangley88 SRV bit Jimi's style, with mediocrity, and said so himself. Jimi just borrowed a song or two, and did it justice musically and spiritually. Only thing Stevie had a spirit for was cocaine in his coffee.....Like good fucking coffee needs any help. Just like his coffee, he's an also ran. A flash in the pan.
Well hello baby - second guessing every minute - alarmed if in the mirror...we come face to face - wishing all the love we took for granted, Lord we had today.
I love this song but this version is missing a bunch.
@ArpeggioFelatio totally agree with you on"the day" is the right lyrics. The is every where I look for the song. The lyrics say that & besides that is also on the inside cover of SRV album
The line is not the day is necessary....... Its death is necessary every now and then. Thats why this song is so great . its like he was giving us something to sing to him afyer he left us so early. Love you Stevie ! You touched my heart and soul.
@TheUnderdogComplex86 Man, I've been thinkin the same thing for months! Both songs are really good though! Anyway, I'm surprised nobody else noticed the differences!
@TheUnderdogComplex86 haha no dude john mayer did not steal anything from srv. Just because the intro sounds slightly familiar doesn't mean he stole it. compare them, they are different.
I love it AEB lol, I have said the same things since I was in hs about what my kids are going to hopefully listen to. I love blues / classic rock and have been playing guitar now for 17 years, all the same stuff. I do so hope my kids don't listen to like ICP or some crap lol!!!
On an interesting note, I have branched a little, listening to outlaw country and leanred a Megadeth song, "Addicted To chaos". If anyone is a guitar player, might try it out, very cool stuff....
@mystinger72 no kidding.... rap, hip hop, techno, all that is not music.... there aint much skill in selecting the music you want in the background.... keep playing and if you dnt want them listening to it do what my dad did... teach them how to play before they even get exposed to it.... stuff like thin lizzy, and U2, and a variety really helps... Clapton to floyd... haha good luck and tell them im only 19
this song hit me hardest when i saw a video of him talking after beating his addictions. you could feel ever note pour out of him and it hits you with such an intensity.
The most underrated song ever... :o Simply EPIC! Can't think of any reason why this song isn't at least in one of those "Best Rock/Blues Ballades" compilations...
i miss stevie!!! such a great musican and man! the world lost an angel when he died...so traggic! just to show, love life like like he did because you never know what might happen tomorrow! life is a blessing live everyday like its your last....god bless stevie ray vaughan 54 to 90...36 years of life unlimted!!!!!
As am I my friend. My Dad is a HUGE SRV fan (me too). I've grown up listening to him and admiring all his greatness. My most cherished memories from my childhood are driving along with my Dad, listening to all his albums and just talking guitar and how great of a musician SRV was.
Last summer I saw Robert Cray from the front row at a Blues Festival. I realized later that I came within feet of a man who played with Stevie on his very last song.
Aaah Stevie...Why did you have to go so early? You must be playing in the heavens of space and time....I cried so many tears, like I never cried for anybody ever ...How many hours did I play with you, listen to your stuff, and try my best to get it right like you played it....I love your music and miss you being around so much...The Blues is the place to have ever known you and mourn your passing...Thanks for everything
I lost my dad on September 14, 2009 very suddenly to a massive heart attack, with no previous history of heart trouble. He was only 54. Today would've been his birthday and this is one of the many songs that remind me of him. He shared the music of SRV and many other great artists with me and because of him my musical tastes are widespread.
@aeb0068 What are you waiting for? Our Son was born VIA Water Birth, with Frank Zappa's "Watermelon In Easter Hay" playing in the background and we have been playing music with him and for him, everyday for the last three years. "Ben" loves Stevie and just fell asleep in my Wife's lap to this song, 11:40 pm Sunday Feb. 2011. Babies and Music are meant for each other, it makes them smarter, more articulate and if you play music for them, they wont wake up at every little sound that you make.
This reminds me of my grandmother, my first best friend...we made a vow to be there when the other took their last breath....needless to say, I kept my part of the deal....RIP Georgia Lee Baker....
you ppl that hit the dislike button should be shot because the world could do without imbecilic fucktards such as yourselves. You know nothing about music.
Love you Stevie, alway's. You clean yourself up, just to be taken away anyway, "We All Have Missed You" The Angel's Have Came,,, Take Your Place" RIP <3 <3 <3
absolulutely moving!!!!! the first time i heard this i was literally moved to tears!!!!!! the solo at the end is haunting!!!!!!!!!! is there anyone in the history of music that plays with more passion than SRV??? dont think so!!!!! never forget the day he died!!! RIP-SRV!!!!
Late the night after he died I stood .. just leaning out of my sliding glass door and had this blasting. I wept and wept and wept.. When the guitar solo played I swear I felt his presence and it imparted such an overwhelming sense of JOY-I have never felt anything like that in my life. I don't know what it was- but it gave me a peace about where he was-with God.. for I know he had a strong faith. Its just something I will never forget...we'll see you again Stevie..of that I have no doubt.
20 years ago the radio announcer had said a helicopter carrying Stevie Ray Vaughan and Eric Clapton had crashed. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Then about 20 mins later the announcer said Eric Clapton did not get on board but his band and Stevie Ray were gone, then played Life Without You....it was one of the worst days in music history as well as my life. 20 years later and Stevie Ray is still a GOD and missed more than ever. Thanks for the music Stevie, it still chokes me up today,RIP
20 years..... seems like yesterday I was 10 years old sitting in the living room with my mom- just learning guitar, just discovered SRV - and they said on TV that he was gone. My mom went 5 years later- hard to believe. We miss you, Stevie. Thanks for all the great music, inspiration and love you passed our way.
My all time fav song by SRV..............My ex boyfriend committed sucide after I found out I rode around all night listening to this song over and over and over!!! Everytime I hear this song it makes me cry!! Bart Alan King you are dearly missed I LOVE YOU wish things would have turned out different!!!! You are always on my mind!! RIP Bart & SRV!!!!!!!!!
Tears fall down my cheek as i write this ,thinking of my Brother ,Man i miss him so dam much,its been over a year since he has passed on and it Hurts just as much now as it did then ,I know God has a reason for Taking the ones we love.I just wish I Coulda Said Goodbye, Stevie Ray Vaughn Thank You for all the Soul you put into your Music It Will Live Forever R.I.P
@whitewolfen68 i feel for you . it has been five years since my oldest brother passed. there is not a day that doesn't go by that i do not think about him and miss him. but , he was also my biggest fan, i play guitar. life with out him ,has not been the same. but when i miss him alot i pick up my guitar, start playing and feel his presence there with me.
@MacDrevi0us It's about a friend of him that passed away, His name was Charley Wirz, owner of Charley's guitars shop. The man died in 1985. It's not about drugs, although stevie would give a speech about how bad he had been with his addiction in the middle of the song when playing live (after 1986 once he had recovered and was clean).
some of the lyrics are missing. where he says something like: "the angels have waited for so long, now take your place.." and in the version that i have of this song, the solo is way longer.
acording to an older comment I read in this same video, after the last line in this song, when stevie said "life without you", he started crying and couldn't continue singing. This version is an outtake, not the studio one we all know.
could anyone name any other songs by him that are similar to this? life by the drop is the only other i can think of, i love when he plays slow like this.
i hope all my friend that hear this dont think of the things that happened lately are a end but a beging to better things in the future ,,, and new way of doing things that are a little less judgemental but more focused on what really needs to be done here ,,, your freind lesterclaypool1 8 ]
This song gets me everytime, Stevie was and still is the greatest blues guitarist. Nobody can quite match his tone, voice, and most of all, his emotion and burning passion for his artform and instrument. Stevie is proof that if there's a passion for something, don't let it slip away because you never know what you can achieve. Long live the greatly missed soul of blues and rock n roll, Mr. Stevie Ray Vaughan, rest in peace brotha. Thanks for all the motivation
never seen any other man that was born more to play the guitar than this man. there are thousands of great guitar players alive and dead but only one greatest. this man right here
God the loss of Stevie ray vaughan and all the other greats makes me not scared of death anymore I cant wait when I wake up next to a wall with a gate and I see Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan Jamming togather
To all the SRV fans, I love everyone of you's simply for the fact we share such a beautiful thing in common. I was touched with stevies blues as you's have been and for that reason I can relate to every single one of you's. Thank you. You will never be forgotten Stephen Ray Vaughan
August 27, 1990, I was packed and ready to leave Chicago for my new life in San Diego. The night before I had gone to Legends, Buddy Guy's bar to see if Stevie and the others were going to jam after the show like they often did. Not that night. The next night, Stevie was lost. I unpacked my stereo and my records, and put this song on, and bawled my eyes out. Love you Stevie, and Life Without You just ain't the same.
they were supposed to be there. I was working that night at Alpine Valley, was backstage heading to the lodge to celebrate my birthday.. 3 helicopters were buzzing, waiting on the ground as the musicians from the evening piled indiscriminately into any one of them. Not 30 yards overhead, i could no longer see the helicopter's running lights. Only 37 years old. damn.

@papacane did i not say it was my birthday? i was lucky that i remembered my name that night! foggy as fuck.. my dad's '79 Chevy Vandura was my wheels so i crashed in there til i could drive home the next day. little sis wakes me up with the news (around 2pm :).. there was a crash. all i could think of.. EC. no, this was much worse.

Who is this song about? Ive searched around but cant find the answer....
Anyone actually know? Please dont guess ..

@MacDrevi0us It's about a friend of him that passed away, His name was Charley Wirz, owner of Charley's guitars shop. The man died in 1985. It's not about drugs, although stevie would give a speech about how bad he had been with his addiction in the middle of the song when playing live (after 1986 once he had recovered and was clean).

some of the lyrics are missing. where he says something like: "the angels have waited for so long, now take your place.." and in the version that i have of this song, the solo is way longer.

acording to an older comment I read in this same video, after the last line in this song, when stevie said "life without you", he started crying and couldn't continue singing. This version is an outtake, not the studio one we all know.
Very moving version in fact.

This song gets me everytime, Stevie was and still is the greatest blues guitarist. Nobody can quite match his tone, voice, and most of all, his emotion and burning passion for his artform and instrument. Stevie is proof that if there's a passion for something, don't let it slip away because you never know what you can achieve. Long live the greatly missed soul of blues and rock n roll, Mr. Stevie Ray Vaughan, rest in peace brotha. Thanks for all the motivation

I actually think, his most beautiful songs are those, where he balanced the guitar and the singing more equally. Like this one and Life By the Drop.
His voice was amazing!

To all the SRV fans, I love everyone of you's simply for the fact we share such a beautiful thing in common. I was touched with stevies blues as you's have been and for that reason I can relate to every single one of you's. Thank you. You will never be forgotten Stephen Ray Vaughan

August 27, 1990, I was packed and ready to leave Chicago for my new life in San Diego. The night before I had gone to Legends, Buddy Guy's bar to see if Stevie and the others were going to jam after the show like they often did. Not that night. The next night, Stevie was lost. I unpacked my stereo and my records, and put this song on, and bawled my eyes out. Love you Stevie, and Life Without You just ain't the same.

they were supposed to be there. I was working that night at Alpine Valley, was backstage heading to the lodge to celebrate my birthday.. 3 helicopters were buzzing, waiting on the ground as the musicians from the evening piled indiscriminately into any one of them. Not 30 yards overhead, i could no longer see the helicopter's running lights. Only 37 years old. damn.
